I had my first microneedling appointment with Liane yesterday and the experience was truly…read moreexcellent. From the moment I arrived, Liane was beyond warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took her time walking me through the whole process, making sure I was comfortable and informed every step of the way. What really stood out was how thorough she was. She took the time to explain every step of the microneedling process, what to expect in the first 24-48 hours afterwards and then what to do/not do for the next week. She also clearly described the benefits of microneedling versus other treatments I was considering. She absolutely knows her stuff and I trust her 100%! She never rushed and made the whole session feel relaxed and personalized. On top of all that, Liane has a fun, approachable energy that instantly puts you at ease. If you're considering microneedling, I can't recommend Liane enough. You'll be in amazing hands!

I have been looking for a good threading place since moving to Oakland from San Francisco, and…read morefinally, I have found it! Rowena, was amazing. She took the time to actually look at the shape of my face to find what eyebrow shape she would give me, it was pain-free, And quick. Also, it was only $18, which is pretty cheap for eyebrow the rating in my opinion. Also, if you go Tuesday through Friday between 10 AM and 2 PM, there is the eyebrow and lip threading special for $25 total. Another thing I love about them is that they do the punchcard. So at your 11th eyebrow threading, you get it free. Great location and even open on Sundays 1030 to 4 PM. They definitely have a new customer in me.

You can tell she loves what she does and is great at it. The energy in the room is warm and inviting. She explains in depth what's to be expected (step-by-step) of how your facial will go. I left not only with great products and recommendations, but also glowing from the inside out. It feels good to finally say I've found my esthetician who not only care about your skin but wants you to be proud of it too! Thank Lee :)

I have received many facials in my life, but getting a facial from Rhea is my favorite so far. Her space is very relaxing and squeaky clean. She is very personable and she creates a very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. She does not try and oversell, and offers really practical advice in a caring and professional way. She is very conscientious about the comfort of her clients and explains everything very thoroughly. She asks really good questions, and I always feel like a very special guest when I am with her. I feel very lucky to have found Rhea, and I am very happy with the results I have received from her facials. I highly recommend her.

This was my second visit with Kim and she has always known exactly what to do to revamp my skin…read more With life as a business owner, it can get pretty hectic staying on top of all the things- including skin care. She has always been able to provide clean products that I use on a regular basis without any fears of acne breakouts. This last time I came, I had developed some acne from a new cream foundation that I was using. So she was able to do extractions and I am currently healing and feel like my skin is already less congested. The whole experience left me so relaxed- from the facial, arm, neck and foot massage with warm towels. I highly recommend seeing her for your skin and relaxation needs in SF, she also has a location in Oakland!

I appreciate you & your expertise!

Back in the day, this was my go to spot for waxes. I went consistently enough that the place that I…read morewould get regularly waxed at, stopped growing hair. That was probably one of the best things about this place besides, they're overall ambience and calm environment. It is also very clean here. I've been to a couple of other places, but this is my regular spot. If for any other reason, I just wanna get like a touchup I would definitely come here and pay the higher price point and get professional service here instead of going somewhere else and paying less but getting subpar service. They also give you numbing spray which is super helpful and other great tips to minimize hair grow growth. Totally worth it and highly recommended!

I visited Cocoon Day Spa in Rockridge for a model lash lift service and it was a great experience…read more I believe the aesthetician was Susannah and she was training someone new (although I forgot their name unfortunately). The service was thorough and I thought they took their time to make sure my lashes looked nice. I will say I did expect a little more information on the different steps during the service or some aftercare instructions. Regardless, I was happy with my lash lift and the results were better than expected. While I have visited this spa for occasional massages and facials in the past, I'd consider returning for lash services in the future. Customer service was friendly and attentive and the spa is cozy and modern. The check in and check out process was easy and efficient. The location is convenient and easy to find. There is street parking available but this can vary depending on when you go. Alternatively, you can also park on a nearby street and walk over. Overall, a solid spa with plenty of services and spa treatments. Worth visiting if you're nearby.

Who knew that everything I had been looking for was just down the street - I was skeptical, but upon entering the clean, quiet, intimate front office area, we were greeted by a front office young lady who was pleasant, professional, and eager to assist. Once I was checked in, I was introduced to Evelyn, my aesthetician. She seemed to immediately understand my needs and did not try to oversell me. My main concern was that I didn't want to be "overdone ". Evelyn made me feel understood right away. She created a treatment plan that consisted of a few stages and we began stage 1 - Botox and fillers a week later. Evelyn had a magic touch. I was numb and comfortable and hardly felt anything while she was working on me. No discomfort during the procedure which lasted about 30 minutes. Upon completion, she sent me home with some ointment in case I needed it for bruising or swelling but I really didn't need any of it as the swelling went down by the next day and the results are excellent, better than I expected. Now I am looking forward to proceeding with the next stage of my treatment in about two weeks. From now on, I am Evelyn's loyal customer.

She's right--the owner Jenny was a very nice and experienced aesthetician who took her time to give you a great facial at a very reasonable price (1.5 hours for $30, including deep cleansing, black heads removing, hand-massage your face (depending on your skin conditions though), mask, etc.). She would give you suggestions of improving your skin conditions and not try to sell you any products like most salons do. The store is located on 8th street between Franklin and Broadway. You can take BART which is only 3 blocks away or park across the street (two public parking lots: the one closest to the store only costs $2 for any length of time if you park there after 3pm; the second one which is on 8th street and Broadway is $3 on weekends). Street parking on 8th street is 1 hour maximum for $2. Last reminder--the decor of the place is very minimal. It's definitely not a fancy place from the appearance but the service is worth of every of your penny.
