Dedra provides superb service and does not hit you over the head with a high price for it. She is also someone that has extensive knowledge on the skin-needs for people of color. This is highly important if you are non-white person who is considering professional skin treatments. I first went to Dedra for treatment in September of 2017 to help even the texture and complexion of my skin. She assessed my skin and deduced that I would see improvements in three months with regular treatments. She also worked with me to develop a specialized skin regimen. She told me which products to stop using and which ones to incorporate in my routine. Though Dedra sells PCA and Dermalogica products in her office, she never pushed any of them on me. She recommended products that I could pick up fro Target and the grocery store that were just as effective. When I felt I needed products with concentrated ingredients she advised on which products from her Dermalogica and PCA inventory would work best for my skin. Most people would try to sell you as many products as possible. Dedra informed me of all the ingredients in the products she selected for me and let me know how they interacted with each other. By December 2018, my skin drastically improved thanks to my home regimen and monthly treatments. I continue to see Dedra each month to maintain my progress and improve other areas. Dedra uses the latest and verified skin care treatments. Her workspace and equipment is meticulously cleaned and sanitized. I spend at least five minutes with Dedra reviewing my skin progress. If she believes I am ready for an advanced treatment she will advise me on how to prepare (not to shave, avoid certain creams and lotions, avoid excessive sunlight) for the whatever product or instrument she will use. You cannot ask for a better esthetician than Dedra. read more

Jeunesse Skincare is truly a gem. She took her time with me and got my skin all the way together. Even when I let some time go by the routine that she laid out for me keeps my skin in check and I am very appreciative that I found her and she is my Esthetician for Life! My skin was in really bad shape when I first came to Dedra and now I'm truly proud of my skin, the effort and routine. I can't say it enough you can truly tell when someone loves what they do. She has explained and broken things down to me about my skin and I'm forever grateful! My favorite thing to add to my service is the Gel Mask, I absolutely love how these mask adds to my glow! Check them out and allow Dedra to get your skin in top tier condition! You will not be disappointed! read more

I have been coming here for years and every single time, the service is top-tier. From the beautiful ambiance and relaxing music, I enjoy every bit of my facial. What really stands out about the owner is her attention to detail, she is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about skincare and will have your skin absolutely FLAWLESS. Trust me, book the facial sis read more

I absolutely love Jeunesse Skincare Center! Dedra is an amazing esthetician. She's professional, knowledgeable, and such a genuine person. Her space is inviting and very clean. Her protocols for cleanliness are top tier. She's been taking care of my skin since 2021, and I'm so thankful I found her when I did. Every visit is relaxing, and my skin always feels refreshed and glowing afterward. I love that she tailors her services to your specific skin needs. She never disappoints! If you're looking for a top-notch skincare experience with some black-girl magic I can't recommend Dedra and Jeunesse Skincare Center enough. read more

Dedra knows her stuff! If you're serious about clearing your skin and true detoxification, she's your girl!! I struggled with adult acne for years before investing in regular facials. I've seen significant changes in my skin. I went from constant cystic breakouts to minimal breakouts/congestion, lightening scars, and significantly less texture. The facial isn't a spa treatment for problem skin girlies because extractions are necessary but so worth it! She's punctual, knowledgeable, and cares. She really wants her clients to have the skin they desire. read more

I first started seeing Dedra at Jeunesse Skincare Center in July for a Brazilian wax before a trip to FL. I hadn't had a wax since 2018, which I informed her of before getting onto the table and she assured me it was no problem. She made me feel very comfortable throughout the process, despite my nerves making me sweat - literally LOL. Dedra is very knowledgeable and provided product recommendations to keep the area smooth and free of ingrowns. I've been back for 2 more waxes and will definitely be a regular client. The office is very clean and well kept. Very thorough safety protocols are in place in light of the pandemic, which I appreciate. I can't wait to start seeing her for skincare services in the near future! read more

Outstanding service! I have found my new esthetician. Dedra, why didn't I find you sooner?! This woman is amazing at what she does! I've been getting facials for YEARS and the woman who used to take care of my skin the best, retired. I've been trying to find someone else as good as her since then. Well, Dedra is it! She's a beautiful soul inside and out and truely loves what she does and she knows her stuff! Dedra, thank you for honoring your gifts and doing it with passion. I'll see you soon! read more

This review is longggg overdue. I've been going to Dedra for almost a year now and my face has never looked or felt this healthy. She makes sure to explain everything that she is doing and why she is doing it. Because i have oily skin and suffer from acne I get the detox facial. She has a very gentle hand when it comes to extractions and will give it to you straight about about your skincare regimen and any improvements that can be made. My advice would be to buy the products (PCA & Dermalogica) that is recommended because they have made a big difference to my face since I've been using them. I'm so thankful to have found her! My melanin has def been popping since meeting her and I would highly recommend you schedule an appointment with her. You won't be disappointed. read more

Bought a Groupon for my husband for his birthday and got one for myself also. It was for the Mini-Revitalizing facial for $35 (originally $70). I called and it was a Google number, I just mentioned Groupon and Dedra picked up. I was able to get an appointment within 2 days. I had to book online and put my credit card info in but she told me that it wouldn't be charged. I arrived about 15 minutes before my appointment and she was with the previous client. There was a sign on the door that asked you not to knock. I went to sit in the waiting area. She was extremely prompt, gave me a detailed info card to fill out while she got the room ready for me. It smelled so good in there. She had me disrobe from the waist up. The facial was very relaxing and I would have probably fallen asleep if it had not been for an extremely annoying tickle in my throat that just wouldn't let me live! I kept coughing almost to the point of choking. Dedra was so nice and offered me water and some peppermint Essential oils that quashed that throat tickle quick (so much so I looked to buy some). She asked me if I was coming down with something and I told her that my sinuses were acting up and she said since she was massaging my face it probably caused my sinuses to drain. She did a skin analysis and recommended a certain brand of products when I asked but wasn't pushy to have me buy the many of the same recommended products she had in her studio. My skin looked so healthy and hydrated! I waited to write this review to also ask my husband what his experience was and he said he had a great experience too, he even booked again. I even suggested my friends give her a try. I will definitely be back. read more

I started my journey with Dedra in January of this year. She was referred by another quality beauty service provider years ago. I'm so glad that I finally incorporated Dedra into my skincare journey. My skin has completely transformed! My skin was so congested and I also had issues with texture. I go to Dedra once a month, brought recommended skincare products from her and have remained as consistent as possible with my skincare routines. I've dealt with acne and skin issues most of my life so I'm so grateful for Dedra's care and expertise. She really knows her stuff. I also appreciate how clean, organized and sanitized she keeps her workspace. Other services that I've received from Dedra include her wax services and the body treatment. All were quality experiences. I usually stick to my usual services, but I'm looking forward to experiencing and exploring her other services as well. read more

This is a black business. You want to support black businesses. Please be professional. Esthetician/owner was 20 minutes late for my appointment. She texted me to let me know, after I was already in the building, waiting on her. She wasn't set up or prepared which meant again I waited while she got her stuff together. For a first visit, unfortunately it was not a good first impression. I think that this esthetician does a great job, but has to adjust her attitude. Her bedside manner is lacking, and why although my skin looked fantastic a few days later, I personally will NOT be returning. She tends to be very dismissive to the point you just dont think she's listening to your concerns. I literally cried because what she put on my face BURNED the hell out of my skin. She said after she put it on, it may "tingle". Extractions were HORRIBLE, (more tears) to the point my face was sore and red two days later. BUT she knows best because for the 50-11 time she has been practicing for about 20 years. When you ask her questions she seems to gauge your pockets as to what she recommends, rather than offering what's best for your skin. I had to TELL her what I wanted to get, after asking her multiple times what she recommended. Price for my facial? $150, not including the products I bought which brought my total to about $320. She graciously threw in a travel version of dermalogica precleanse and 3 or 4 1x use exfoliation packets (think ketchup packet size)and made sure I knew that "normally she charges for this." I'm good sis, ya'll enjoy I'm heading back the Four Seasons where my face isnt beaten into submission. (P.s) This review is about 2 months old. I started to write it while my face was swollen and red, but I just came off really angry and not as concise as I would have liked. read more

Above everything, Dedra is knowledgeable and professional. My face has never been as clear as it has under Dedra's care. I dealt with acne as a teen and again in adulthood, but in the last year, I have received more compliments than ever. Dedra gives great care, plays no games with extractions, and suggested an at home regimen that has truly worked for me. read more

Dedra has got my skin together!! I am sooo grateful for her. I had bad cystic acne, and uneven skin tone. I started going to Dedra June 2017 and I have not had a break out in 4 years. Her prices are reasonable and she knows her stuff!! I wish I had before and after pics. I definitely recommend her. read more

A friend of mine recommended Dedra and lucky for me she had a Groupon deal at the time. I had my schedule mixed up and was an hour or two behind but Dedra still allowed me to come. (45 minute commute) Once locating the office free parking was available. The office is secured which made me comfortable. Dedra's space is so inviting and cozy. Though it's white everywhere it isn't a sterile feel. Dedra is very welcoming, open and knowledgeable about her craft. She is patient and walks you through every step. I've observed on two occasions (i went alone the first time; returned with my oldest son and boyfriend second visit) that she is very organized and makes it her business to learn about you in order to provide you the best treatment. You know how sometimes using a discount you may not receive a full service? Not here. My treatment felt like i paid for a full service. I wasn't shorted in anyway. She also did extra things for me at no additional costs. Before starting, Dedra asks you what your favorite scent is and then diffuses it during your treatment. I love it as a daily diffuser user myself. If you're not sure about the scent you want she can assist. The light music is relaxing and it's so easy to fall asleep on the table. Dedra tells you what she's going to do and why throughout the process and asks your comfort level as well. She is extremely attentive to your issues and informs you how to manage your skin. Beauty is pain but the end result is delightful. My skin was glowing and my nose shiny as a button. Although my son and boyfriend enjoyed their experience they're too chicken to return. I'll definitely be back. read more

Dedra is great and knowledgeable! She's patient and she gets your skin right! I highly recommend her. I have "bacne" and face acne with dark spots; she put me on a regime that helped clear it up in no time. When all a dermatologist gave me was a pill and sent me on my way. Dedra examined my skin and gave me the run down on what I needed when I come see her as well as my at home skincare routine. She's great! Go see her! read more

PRIME SKIN CARE SERVICE Dedra is absolutely amazing. I have not had a facial in a longggg time, might as well say I never had one. My pores were clogged, full of blackheads and needed saving. She took her time with extractions ( which were WELL needed) and explained what each product she put on my face was for and how It would possibly make my skin feel since my pores were open as a warning which I appreciated so I wouldn't freak out. The ambiance of her studio is very pleasant. Calming music, the table is adjusted to the proper and comfortable positioning and if you need a neck pillow or anything just ask. She wants you to feel as relaxed as possible. Highly recommend and I'm excited to have her by my side to assist me in my skincare journey and feeling more confident in my skin. read more

I scheduled an appointment after reading the positive reviews on Yelp. My experience was not good. First, I found her to be very dismissive of the skin care products I told her I used. I understand promoting the line you carry. However, the brand I use was also reputable and developed by dermatologists. My issue was with her methods. She proceeded to put a product on my face without warning me it would burn. I asked her what is was and explained to her it was burning and she asked me to rate my pain level on a scale from 1-10. The pain eventually subsided but I felt she was dismissive to my concern of the burning. I'm usually quiet and can deal with some discomfort however if I speak up and say something that means it is a problem. Next, she proceeds to do extractions. This was an absolute nightmare. I've visited multiple spas and have experience with extractions. Her method was by far the worst one I experienced. It felt like needles stabbing my face. I told her it was painful and she was dismissive once again. She then asked me how long it takes for swelling in my face to go down. I wondered what she was talking about and had no idea I had an adverse reaction until she finished and I looked in the mirror. She saw the reaction while it was happening and still didn't stop the extractions. My face returned to normal a few days later but was still sore. At the end of the appointment she proceeds to show me a text message from one of her clients bragging about their skin. Maybe this was a method to convince me of something. I knew I was not returning so it made no difference. I voiced my concerns as I was experiencing the pain but in retrospect I should have physically removed myself from the situation once I realized they were not being heard. Lesson learned for me. I felt her facial practices were unethical and I do not recommend. ---- 8/21/17- Edited to add additional comments after seeing the esthetician call my review "inaccurate and dishonest". I stand by every single statement I made in this review. The spa practices outlined in the response were not the practices I received. read more

I had not had a facial in two years. My fiancé and I stumbled across this deal on Groupon, and we both decided to do express facials prior to our wedding. Dedra was very friendly and knowledgeable about what we should be doing for my skincare regiment. She been threw in a few extractions as a gift to. We are so very glad we met her, and she now has two new clients because of our great experience with her. My face felt and looked great afterwards. read more

Had a facial today, and Dedra was excellent! She was extremely knowledgeable about skin care and provide me with helpful tip on how to take care of my face. The before and after are astonishing. I will definitely see her again. read more

I stumped upon this place earlier this year and thank goodness I did! Dedra is AMAZING!!! She is super sweet, hilarious and is really a blessing. She is extremely informative which I love because sadly a lot of us think we know skin care but we don't. Listen to the professionals folks!!! She got me on a proper skin care regiment and my skin is POPPIN!!!! My mom even made an appointment with Dedra after she noticed my gorgeous skin. I will recommend that everyone check Dedra. Can't wait to get with her soon!!!! read more

I found this business via a search for waxing on yelp. I sent a message and received a quick response (can you say five stars). I arrive about five minutes early to my appointment and Debra was waiting and ready (five more stars). I filled out the necessary paperwork while she asked questions (five more stars). She filled my ear with so much information as she was working on my areas of concern (five stars). From the time I entered the office up until I left she was very informative (five stars). The office layout was nice and clean combined with her awesome professionalism/customer service is a five star in itself. I entered looking like a wolf and exited looking like a lady. Thank you read more

Great facial! I found this place on yelp and I am so happy that I did. The location is tucked away in the largo office building area. It was a little hard for me to find at first. The place is basically one large room but it is large enough for the treatment etc. Dedra is very friendly, genuine and professional. She is also very knowledgeable about skincare. She took time to discuss my skin and what I was looking to achieve. I definitely plan to come back. read more

I refuse to let anyone else touch my face from here on out. I have really oily skin and I've seen the progression of my skin since going to see her regularly. I can now wear makeup without being oily in 5 minutes because she cleans my pores out so thoroughly! She's patient and knowledgeable and takes her time to explain your skins condition and all of her procedures. I recommend all of my friends to her. Super professional and does the best waxing I've ever had! Go see Deidra! You won't be sorry! read more

Deidra was so pleasant & made my experience very comfortable with educating me about beauty & skincare. I typically get my waxes done in Northern VA because the facilities are always clean. But due to a shortness of time, I looked to see what was near by. I made sure to read the reviews (which were all good btw) and inspect the place to see how sterile it was. No complaints at all. She even gave me a goody bag at the end!! read more

Dedra is wonderful at her profession! Very professional, informative and funny. I got a Brazilian and I felt very comfortable and at ease. I will definitely be a repeat customer. read more

Location: Located in the brown building across from the Kaiser. Very easy find. Once you arrive there is an option to call in to open the door, however it was unlocked. The inside of the place was very cute. White walls with pink and green decor, soft fragrance, relaxing music, and CLEAN!!! Service: Dedra is excellent at what she does. Once I arrived she had me fill out a form about my current skin care techniques. I immediately found out that what I was doing was all wrong, but of course in a friendly way. Lol. I was instructed to get undressed (socks included) and was given a gown to cover up. Once laying on the bed she relaxed my hands and feet with a hot towel. And then the service began. Her 19 years of experience was evident in her ability not only to give me great service but also her ability to help me understand what was going on with my face. Pricing: I believe I paid $165 for the service. I felt like it was worth every penny! Also, she gives you a good two hours worth of her time!! Perks: she has a test to determine hydration level. I was way below the norm, but after my service my level of hydration went up significantly. Additionally she had a test to tell me what type of skin I have (no one has ever done that for me before). Lastly, she had plenty of dermalogica products for sale!! Overall: Please visit her. I will be back and plan to tell many more of my friends about my 5/5 experience! I brought the products and used her regimen and my face is still clear, smooth, and glowing!! read more

By far, this is the BEST facial I have ever had. I moved to the area recently from out of state and found Jeunesse via Yelp. Let me set the context: I have been to several estheticians over the years in the Midwest, South and now East (as I've lived in those places for work). I am beyond pleased and have no interest in going anywhere else. Every month, I will be there like clock work. She is very professional, very knowledgeable and knows her craft. If I could give 5+++, I would. read more

Dedra was great! I have had some hormonal changes to my skin recently and did every single thing I found online to fix them...some which worked, but after talking with Dedra, I've probably exacerbated things unnecessarily. She's extremely informed and I can appreciate that. I can't wait to see her again! Also I got my initial visit through Groupon. Definitely would recommend her services to friends and family! read more

After consulting with multiple dermatologists, I got a bacteria infection from unclean water from the facial!!! This specific bacteria only comes from contaminated steam water!!!! I got the infection immediately after my facial. The "esthetician" kept telling me that my face was just purging and it has been a month. The dermatologists stated it is NOT purging but a whole infection! DO NOT GO TO HER! WORST ESTHETICIAN EVER! She is not thorough in your skincare needs. I went to her for two facials thinking it would get better over time, however, my skin is worst than before! She carelessly sold me products that made my skin even more damaged (spent almost $900) and now I have to throw all the products away. I received no refund and all she said was to keep getting more treatments. Why would I get more facials from her and buy more products when my skin is progressively getting worse? PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND find an esthetician who truly CARES for your skin and not one who just wants to profit off of you read more

I went to have An Brazilian wax...The best experience ever. Very clean and relaxing atmosphere.

Best birthday facial ever!!! Not only is Dedra my namesake but she's super kind, professional and dedicated to ensuring that she does what's best for the client. Admittedly, I don't take very good care of my skin, at all. Dedra went ABOVE AND BEYOOOOOOND to ensure that not only did she rejuvenate my skin, but that it was detoxified to perfection. It's a struggle to find an esthetician willing to do the hard, dirty work of restoring a face but Dedra did that for me. All day people have been saying that my skin is glowing and honestly this extra glow has made my soul glow a bit too lol Thank you for making my birthday extra special!!! I'll see you next month! read more

If I could give her 10 stars, I would! My experience here was phenomenal!! I found my new esthetician. Dedra is so knowledgeable, sweet, kind, well education and extremely professional. Her space is inviting, clean, and has a relaxing ambiance. She taught me so much about my skin and answered every question I had. I left with my skin glowing, some new products, plus a pre booked appointment. I contacted Dedra a few days later with some questions and she followed up with a phone call. She answered all of my questions, plus more. Not only did she answer my questions, she wanted me to ask more! Dedra taught me more than I learned in 600 hours at my beauty school! She is a rocket in the esthetic industry!! I would highly recommend her to everyone! read more

I loved how down to earth and cool Dedra was. I felt like i could actually speak to her and not just get a script of what each product does. I really enjoyed her service and was very professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her to anyone, I'll be going back soon! read more

Juenesse Spa is conveniently located in Largo. I am so glad to have found Dedra. Her space is very clean and she educates her clients on skincare. By the time you leave, your skin will be breathing. Also, I recommend at least a 60 minute facial. read more

Wonderful esthetician! Knows her stuff and my skin is turning out great!

I love this place. It's a small intimate facility but clean and has all the essentials. I came here for a bikini wax. I paid a little more than expected because I ended up with an extended or thong bikini wax instead of a regular bikini wax. I will definitely come here for now on for my waxes and will try a facial with her as well. I highly recommend this place! read more

I made a last minute skin care appointment when my regular place couldn't fit me, and I am so glad I did! Dedra is friendly, kind, and extremely knowledgable. She did a fantastic job. I will be cancelling future appointments at other places, so I can go to her again. I cannot recommend her enough! read more
