I realize I never added an update! Janna's facials are by far my favorite I've ever had. The whole experience is wonderful and relaxing and I love when I get to come see her!! read more

I love Janna. She, too, is my Alpha and my Omega for all unmentionable waxing. I followed her from Campbell to Los Gatos and I think I would do it if she moved even further. That's called costumer loyalty and absolute trust, which she does a fabulous job of building. Every time I see Janna, she maintains professionalism while also making you feel like you've been BFFs forever. We always seem to use those 45 minutes chatting about our love lives, latest travel stories, music, and philosophical theories on life. I'm excited to try one of her facials, which is also infused with a relaxation massage. She says that is key to a good facial, not merely just putting products on people's faces. She's always very intentional about her work and places a high value on providing customers with quality service and a worthwhile experience. The facility itself, which looks like a residential house from the outside, is a spacious, clean, and cute place. It may be tricky to find at first, but is still convenient to find parking. Oh, Janna, you're worth the trip! read more

I was nervous so say the least when i went in for my first Brazillian ever. Janna immediately put me at ease, she was very warm and welcoming but also very professional. The facility itself is lovely, very nice environment. I kid you not, the wax itself was really not paintful! Don't get me wrong it's not a pleasent feeling but Jenna is great at what she does and she talks to you the whole time so you are distracted from what's going on. Also compaired to the average industry rates it's a very reasonable price. I will definately be back. read more

Fantastic facial. One of the best I've ever had. Janna is such an amazing Esthetician that I've already booked my second Appt. She books out well in advance but, it's because she's that good. Her online booking system is super easy and I appreciate being able to book online whenever I feel like it (rather than calling and leaving a message like with other spas). Looking forward to the next treatment. read more

Dude, Janna. She is my first and only Brazilian waxer. I was terrified the first time I went and had to have like 3 shots of tequila before going in and let me tell you, it was a piece of cake. She's hilarious and makes you feel super comfortable. We're totally buddies now...that's how cool she is. Oh, and I just had the best facial from her last week. Heaven. Go see Janna, you won't regret it. read more

Janna moved to a new location in Los Gatos. It is a great, private space. She also has some new product lines and continues to try to use all natural products. Personally, I do not like to put a bunch of chemicals on my skin!! Janna is also working on being eco conscious, which I really appreciate. Janna is absolutely the best esthetician I have ever been to. read more

By far the best brazilian I have yet to receive. painless, to say the least. I'm now a fan of Janna, read more

Still love Janna. I don't go to Los Gatos for just anyone. In fact, mainly just Janna. The new spot is great though, a little confusing to find, but well worth the search. She works quickly, but doesn't make you feel rushed. Basically, shes the one and only person to go to if you are in the market for a new place. read more

I have been going to Jana a few years now and I cannot believe it's taken so long for me to write this review. She is absolutely amazing in every way. Such a calm presence and makes you feel spoiled the moment you enter the cute little house. Her Brazilians are excellent and little pain. Best I've ever had. Her facials and treatments are also wonderful. Not only relaxing but makes my skin so smooth. The intraceutical treatment makes it look like I've had to pay LOTS of $$ for some kind of botox injection. I always walk out of there like a new woman! I have had many people come up to me and ask me what I do to my skin...ever since I started going to her! read more

Janna is simply the best - I see her for facials. She has a real gift for figuring out just what my skin needs. I have very sensitive skin so it can be a challenge to get just the right formula. I think she has a full menu of treatment options but I just let her decide and I'm never disappointed. As an added bonus she is located in a darling little house that is very quiet and comfortable. Janna and her location are a refreshing change of pace from the big spa experiences - would never go anywhere else! read more

I'm now going to La Spa Bella Derma because Janna moved over to this spa. I have been following Janna around for the past 4 years!! Janna is by far the best person in town to get a wax from, I have the most sensitive skin you can think off and Janna goes out of her way to find a wax that works well with my skin. Going to Janna is just not going to get another wax or another facial. It's going to a friend to someone that cares and does her best to make you happy and help you with your needs. On top of it all, she also helped me balance my skin out, I had really bad skin, it was so hard to find someone to understand what was going on, not only she cleared up my skin but also put me on really good products that work wonders..... Now A little thank you note..........My Note is a small but gracious way to repay kindness with kindness. By expressing gratitude in writing, and to make sure you feel appreciated. Thank you Janna very much for everything.... Natalia read more

I never thought I would look forward to my waxing appointment! I have been going to Janna for the past couple years and she is hands down the BEST! She is always makes you feel comfortable and does a perfect job. Her facials are just as wonderful!! I simply don't know what I would do without her :) read more

So I'm moving this review over here because Janna has moverd to La Spa Bella Derma in Campbell! Here's my (slightly edited) previous review!: Janna at Bella Derma gives the best Brazilian wax ever. It is so hard to find someone who does a REAL brazilian the right way. I'm sorry, but you're waxing my naughty bits, don't ask me to put on some stupid paper panties. That is so annoying, and Janna never does that. She is really mellow and puts you right at ease, and chats the whole time so you don't feel awkward (well, any more awkward than you have to!) She has super quick hands, which make a painful process so much more bearable and she uses premium products to minimize pain and redness. I am always happy with her waxes and have referred so many of my friends there. She makes it pretty fun...I actually look forward to my appointments! The new spa is so cute and even has a little boutique with total retail therapy girl goodies. yum! read more

This was my very first experience with waxing and I've got to say that although I don't have a lot of previous experience, I can't imagine an experience like this going any better. Janna was so nice and patient with me (since I was a first timer - and at getting a brazilian wax at that) and she was great. She made me feel very relaxed and helped me get through the process with the minimal amount of pain possible. I loved that she is so easy to talk to and made what I considered to be an embarrassing experience to one of complete comfort. I will definitely recommend her to anyone who might be considering a brazilian wax or to anyone who is currently unhappy with their esthetician. read more

Wow I literally just walked in the door after my brazilian appointment with Janna and she was amazing!! I called at 10am this morning to see if she could fit me in today and she fit me in during a last minute cancellation at noon! The spa smells amazing, there was relaxing music in the room, and the most comfortable spa bed i've ever laid on... I literally felt my blood pressure drop as I completely relaxed. She was super sweet and I could tell would chat as much or as little as I liked. She used two different types of wax and it was as painless a brazilian I've ever had...and I've had a lot! I've been getting brazilians for about 2 years now in San Jose, San Francisco, and Washington, DC and let me tell you, this was by far the best experience I'd had! Janna provides the whole package! And heads up, if you're paying with credit card, you have to tell her the tip or total before she swipes your card... I didnt know that and after she swiped it she just said "that's ok, you dont' have to tip" but there was no way I couldn't tip her!!! Great price, great value, great service and quality!!!! I can't wait for my next waxing and am excited to get a facial from her too!!! read more

I went to Janna for the first time today for my brows (have had them done before) and she was awesome! She has a more private area behind Parlour 308 and she talked to me the whole time. I came out a little red since I have uber sensitive skin to begin with, but my brows look amazing! We talked a little about skin as well and I really love her natural approach. I think I'll go back for a facial, too. read more

I had just had neck surgery and was unable to bend over in the shower to shave. This is where the great Janna Bowman came in. I went in today to get my legs and bikini waxed and I couldn't be more impressed with her. I had never been waxed before and was very nervous about what to expect. I couldnt be happier. Amazing! I highly reccommend her to anyone that is looking to be shave-free! I'm officially converted. read more

Let me just start by saying 5 stars isn't nearly enough to rate any of the services that Janna performs! She is a true professional and master of her craft! I am a long time client of hers (15+ years) and can honestly tell you that there is no one better! I have referred her countless clients over the years and always get the same feedback... "AMAZING!" On the few occasions that I have been out of town and decided to try a facial, I ALWAYS leave asking myself "Why in the world did I just waste my time and money?" It is NEVER the same! From the moment you walk in Janna goes out of her way to make her clients feel relaxed, welcome, and at home... This is not just a facial, this is an experience or maybe even an hour long vacation from life's craziness! She has an energy about her that just immediately makes me feel better about everything going in my life. I walk in and literally leave all my worries at the door. She is constantly going to trade shows and classes to further her education and knowledge in esthetics... No cookie cutter basic facials here!!!! I always let her access my skin and create a custom facial that is designed for exactly what my skin needs! I woke up this morning, as I always do after a session with Janna feeling 10 years younger and 10 pounds lighter...my skin is literally glowing and whatever worries I had yesterday don't seem nearly as crazy as they did before my visit with Janna! Thank you lady!!! I can't believe that it has taken me this long to express my appreciation and gratitude and to let the world know just how awesome you truly are! read more

I LOVE JANNA! She makes you feel super comfortable and at ease with whatever service she is providing. I get brazilians by her and she makes them virtually pain free. Janna has my complete loyalty and trust and I will never see anyone else for waxing needs!!!! read more

I read all of the yelp reviews on Janna and decided to go in for a facial. I have very sensitive skin, newly plagued by Rosacea, and the facial and care she gave me was impeccable. You would be remiss to skip an opportunity to be under her care! read more

When I got out of school, I came back home looking for someone to trust with my eyebrows and no one was making the cut until I found Janna. I have been going to her for about a year and she is great! Other estheticians always made my brows too small but Janna keeps their shape. She even does an alternative hair removal for my sensitive skin, which was never offered to me previously. Her space is very nice as well, very natural, clean, relaxing and it smells good. I highly recommend her for your beauty needs! read more

Brazilian virgin, turned biggest fan, thanks to Janna! She is terrific. She's fun, friendly and really good at her job. Not many people can wax sensitive areas and carry a conversation at the same time. Aside from a little jolt and sting, you don't even know you are being waxed (well a little). Janna you're awesome! read more

Janna is the best!!! I worked in spas around the south bay for years, and have had many a facial. Janna takes the facial experience to a new level of professionalism and expertise. Knowing how much integrity she has in her product lines helps me feel confident and taken care of. I am a health care practitioner, and I'm picky about product. Janna focuses on pure and effective. Period. The ambiance is lovely, the facial bed is warm and cozy. Janna takes time, obviously enjoys her work, and makes the entire experience amazing! Her products smell fantastic, and I often leave with the lingering scent of that cherry enzyme peel.. She's my go-to esthetician. I'm spoiled now, and won't go anywhere else! read more

I have been around the block with hair removal (wax, laser, you name it). Janna is remarkably thorough, precise and a sweet person to boot! I have tried other places around town, but Janna has found a loyal client in me. Her brazilians are fast, her wax is fresh (not tacky) and she even uses different types of wax depending on your hairy needs. I was able to park across the street in the little parking lot with no problems. Cannot say enough about Janna! Easy to work with, fast and really complete in her work (you know what I'm sayin ladies). LOVE! read more

Janna is incredible! Definitely worthy of all 5 stars! She is so sweet and easy to talk to, and her space is totally relaxing with very comfortable vibes. She is very thorough with her waxing yet somehow manages to make a Brazilian as painless as waxing down there can be. I have pretty sensitive skin and I always leave her studio very happy with the results. I come to her whenever I'm home from college and I wish I could take her with me to San Diego! I'm a relatively new customer and just HAD to give her a yelp review, her personality is so genuine and she really cares about her customers. Definitely will be a long time client! Thanks Janna! read more

Heard about miracle-worker Janna so thought I'd offer her a challenge with my fickle skin. Well, her reputation for high quality work is well deserved. My first visit was centered around the Intraceauticals Oxygen Infusion facial which was, in a word, incredible. My skin glowed afterwards and even looked facial-fresh for a few days after. Janna also makes the experience very relaxing and you don't feel the least bit rushed. Soothing and enriching. I went back two months later because my skin was splotchy and acting weird - peeling and dry in some spots, reddish in others, oily in yet another area. She asked a lot of good questions about my skin care routine and identified my overzealous use of essential oils as part of the problem. She offered great advice, did a very soothing, cleaning facial that calmed down my unhappy skin, and generally improved my appearance and outlook. I love that she uses the Schedulicity online scheduling program to set up appointments, which sends reminders and followups. Janna has a great deal of academic and hands-on experience as an esthetician and I understand is creating some of her own products which I hope to try and Yelp about! It's not easy to get an appointment because she has a very busy practice and longtime clients, which speaks to her high quality. read more

I started going to Janna after reading great reviews about her...and now 4 years later, I'm still a loyal client. She makes people feel so comfortable and welcome that Brazilians are actually something to look forward to! read more

I can not say enough good things about Janna's facials!!! Janna goes above and beyond during every session. I have very sensitive skin and my facials with Janna have always been perfect. My skin has never been better since I started seeing her. I HIGHLY reccomend Janna to all of my clients and friends. read more

Over the years I've had various types of facials, many of them excellent. Janna, however, is in a class of her own. Her facial was personalized and thoroughly relaxing. The massage included is just the right touch. Janna's approach is unhurried and caring. The ambience is serene and my skin felt and looked wonderful. read more
