Gigi is not just any ordinary esthetician, she is the extraction queen. I'm so happy I found her…read moreright here in Marin. Gigi is an expert at her craft with 20 years of experience. I came to her with severally dry skin and after my first appointment I had glowing skin. She wants all of her clients to have clean skin and I had both clean and hydrated skin again. It was heavenly! She doesn't waste time achieving her clients needs which I love. Gigi's facials are not the same as regular spas where they put on mask after mask and spend minimal time on extractions. Instead, she does custom deep cleansing clinical facials where she spends a good amount of time on extractions. It's painful, but gratifying at the same time. Gigi's excitement for extractions is contagious. I personally see Gigi about every 5-6 weeks. She is by appointment only. Her clients range in all different ages including teens. If you keep up with the latest products and treatments in the beauty world or just curious, ask her about the Korean stem cell treatment. You won't regret it.

I had my first visit just yesterday, and want to kick myself for not getting to Gigi sooner. That…read moresaid, Gigi (& Hong) has a client base that makes booking out necessary but I'm glad to say "good things come to those who wait" I had the service of micro-blade set of Brows done and I have to say I was very concerned as a first timer especially since I haven't done it before and didn't want to screw up something that's partially permanent. The consult (texts exchanged before) and the appointment ended with an outcome that I'm so pleased with - I had to take time out to share. They were very critical in asking questions (for my benefit) and to ensure I walked out with what I wanted with no regrets. I'm from the camp that if anything is enhanced it's done naturally (as if that's just how you are). As a nice add on, Gigi caught some areas that needed facial attention and with a gentle and effective hand took care of that too. How lucky am I? I may be traveling 1 hour to get there and back home - but I'm all about Facials that don't make me feel like I've just been sold a line of products - but actually make me feel like I got my face cleansed in a way that I can't do myself.

I'm all for companies hosting giveaways and collecting potential/future customer information, but…read moreit's disappointing and disheartening when a business isn't true to their word. ParlourRX was hosting a giveaway for a Diamond Facial and being originally from Sacramento, I was excited to find a local medical aesthetic location as I was looking for a new location to get my services done. Perfect timing! Although I knew it was unlikely for a win, it's the principle. Don't collect and send customers to a Google form that clearly states a winner would be announced on Sunday, April 26th. The post on their page states announced on Monday, April 27th. So I messaged the page and commented on the post asking if a winner had been chosen but they just "read" the message (yes, I can see that). No posts on their stories announcing a winner. No response to a private message, no response to the comment.

I've been seeing Oksana at Hello Beautiful for nearly 10 years, and she is truly amazing. Her…read morefacials are unlike anything I've experienced elsewhere. She doesn't just stick to one approach like microdermabrasion, blue light, or a water facial. Instead, she blends techniques and customizes each treatment based on exactly what my skin needs. Every session starts with a thoughtful assessment, delivered with such kindness and tact, that I always leave feeling beautiful and cared for. Thanks to Oksana, I get frequent compliments on my skin... "glowing" has been used more than once. Recently at Sephora, a consultant was shocked when she heard my age and even asked me for skincare advice. Beyond her expert esthetician skills, Oksana has the most healing and calming energy. Her facials feel like part skincare treatment, part therapy session (an essential piece of my self-care routine). I almost hesitate to write this review because her schedule is already full, but she deserves every bit of recognition. Highly recommend, 10/10!

I love smelling the aromatherapy right when I enter the room and her heated facial bed is so comfortable; In combination with her facial massage, I often catch myself doozing off and even snored a few times during the sessions lol From the very first visit, I felt Erika was very attentive, knowledgeable, and honest. She checks in with me to make sure I'm comfortable, she's gentle during the facial, and provides advice along with product recommendation for my home skin care routine. My skin was really dehydrated and instead of advising me to get more frequent facials from her she emphasized on having a good home care regimen. I followed her suggested skin care routine at home, continued with getting her facials and really do see a difference. I know with my facials, since hydration is my issue Erika really targets on hydrating my skin. If you have a different concern, I'm sure she'll tailor the facial to target your needs. I will say she puts a lot of care and thought into every client she comes across!

My first ever facial!

Parking is your usual SF scramble but doable. Lots of cafes and restaurants to hang out before and after the facial. Facilities - clean and modern. The table and sheets feel luxurious and it had a very upscale spa vibe. I took note of the robe she provided so I can purchase it for myself later. Facial and Erika- amazing! This was my first ever facial so I have nothing to compare it to. Erika took her time to explain the steps as they happened. It was 70minutes of serene self care. The products smelled wonderful and felt high quality. I'm looking forward to making this part of my routine self care every two months. Erika is amazing!!

I've been seeing Lori for about 6 months now and the change in my skin is nothing short of a miracle. I've always had really dull, congested skin, but it's completely turned around. I rarely get breakouts anymore. My skin texture is so much smoother I'm always getting comments. I've been treated by Lori from 2 angles: facials 1x/month (recently needed less often) and daily skincare regime. Lori does such a gentle, thorough job during facials and she's so easy to talk to. I look forward to my appointments with her. I love and trust the products she uses, especially the red light. I walk out looking so glowy. Where she shines is in her product usage and recs. My skin is super sensitive, so I never opt for anything with a lot of synthetic ingredients, but going too "natural" usually doesn't do much for my skin or just further aggravates it. Lori uses products that are all based on natural ingredients, but are still formulated to be highly effective. Every product I use on my face was tailor-picked for me by Lori. Pretty much every single one has drastically improved my skin. They can be pricey (depending on the product), but the difference in quality from the products I was using before from common name brands (Ordinary, MadHippie, Cerave, Bioassance, etc) is unbelievable. It's worth noting that she never upsells. She only recommends what she thinks you need and will tell you when you're doing too much. Oh, and when you start seeing her she'll ask for a list of everything you put on your face (makeup included), read through the ingredient lists, and tell you what's harming your skin and what's not. Beyond good service.
