Claudia is amazing! She single handedly saved my skin in the dry winter. She is so knowledgeable and only has the best products and takes the time to hear and address your concerns. I refer all my close friends go Claudia and she deserves all the love for how great she is! read more

Claudia was great! Her facial was relaxing and cleansing. The studio was extremely clean and organized. I felt great after.

Love getting facials here, she is always so sweet kind and very attentive. Her attention to detail and care are amazing! Always SUPER clean as well, you can tell she really cares about her environment, work and business! So kind!! read more

I have been a client here for nearly three years now. I see Mrs Claudia faithfully every month for my facials. When I started, I had terrible acne and hyperpigmentation, mostly related to my PCOS. I was desperate to correct my issues after failed attempts on my own with expensive OTC items. She told me about electrolysis early on and recommended that I start those treatments in addition to my chemical peels with her. With some weightloss and Rx from my Dermatologist to correct the acne, my sessions with her have truly helped my skin! She is very thorough and knowledgeable with her practice. Her bedside manner is always great and she makes you feel so comfortable. Every session is personable and her communication is stellar! Pricing is on par with the area and I would recommend anyone else looking for a great esthetician to give her a try! You won't be disappointed! read more

Claudia is exceptional !! Everything was perfect ... cleanliness, professionalism, length of facial, technique and price !! It truly was the best facial I have ever had, and I am so happy that I have found Lilli Skin Care Studio. I will continue with her monthly and know that my skin will thank me for it !!! read more

I had such a wonderful experience at Lilli skin care Studio ! Claudia was amazing and so professional. From the moment I walked in, l felt welcomed and at ease. The facial was absolutely fantastic, She was attentive, listened to my skin concerns, and walked me through each step of the facial.I left feeling so relaxed and refreshed! I look forward to my next appointment. read more

I had a terrible experience here. Seriously traumatized me. Very painful and the skin care worker asked very invasive questions about my mother's death despite me asking her to stop. I was literally crying, but she kept pressuring me. Would strongly advise avoiding this establishment. read more

One of my go to spots in the DMV to get a dynamic microdermabrasion + peel without breaking the bank and leaving satisfied! Absolutely adore Sadef, who truly knows what her clients need to feel & look beautiful. Will routinely return! read more

I've been very happy with the results from two facials so far. My skin feels hydrated and smooth. I also appreciated the appointment reminders and detailed instructions on how to access her location, which is tricky to find. read more

Who are these people giving five starts? I came here based on these fake reviews. Made an appointment a week ago came here on a rainy day. Front door had a sign to go around and get in from the garage which has no sign and no bell to ring. Knocked for 10 minutes, called her left voice mail, email her no answer. Such an unprofessional person...f read more

Caveat emptor. Perhaps it's merely a cultural difference where brusqueness is acceptable, but I find the exchange I had with this business to be extremely off-putting. I live within walking distance of this business and had planned on making it my facial home base. But to force purchase of a voucher before even saying when an appointment would be available AND lecturing a potential customer ("you cannot contact a merchant before purchasing a voucher.")?" Uh, no. I would rather pay more out of the principle of the matter. If you enjoy a bit of sadism with your facial, perhaps this will be to your liking. *update based on merchant response: I would have gladly booked a non-discounted appointment had that option been offered, but it wasn't. And any business whose first instinct is to mistrust a potential customer is not the sort of business that anyone should trust. read more

Lilli Skin Care Studio - Skin Care Near Me - Old Town Alexandria, Virginia

See all

I've been seeing Claudia exclusively for my facials for about two years, and I now come in about every six weeks. I have acne-prone combination skin, and within 3 days of seeing her any blemish on my face has healed, and she recently resolved a patch of melasma in just one visit. Her studio is spotless and beautiful and her services are both affordable and effective. What more can you ask for? read more

I feel like my skin (mild adult acne that only gets cystic if I let my eating habits and hygiene go) is truly cared for when I get facials from Claudia. Just like other have said, the place is spotless, Claudia is super knowledgeable and professional as well as kind, and recommends amazing European products for your skin. I really wish I started seeing her sooner. Book way far in advance with her because as you can see, EVERYONE loves her services and she gets booked up pretty quick. read more

I have been going to Claudia for facials since 2018 - four years of consistent facials every 4-6 weeks and finally writing a review. A hidden gem - the studio is boutique, and so clean! The experience is personalized and tailored to the individual - she takes notes after every session and let me tell ya - it's been a journey! I started coming at 30 - with adult acne, scarring and cluelessness about how to be intentional about skincare. At 34, my face looks better than it did 4 years ago - I never thought I'd get compliments on my skin! Consistency, good products and someone who knows my face and tailors the treatment! The facials themselves are superior. It's my self-care ritual. Be sure to ask Claudia about the chamomile paste - it is a game changer! I have gifted my sister and best gal pals the chamomile paste and we all swear by it! read more

I have been a loyal customer of Lilli Skin Care Studio for over 8 years. Claudia's professional skin care has consistently gotten me great compliments about my healthy skin. I'm in my mid 40's and many think I'm in my early to mid 30's. She is very knowledgeable about skin conditions, products to treat your concerns (aging, melasma, acne, etc.) and above all, she is extremely clean. I have visited throughout the pandemic and always felt safe and comfortable coming in for facials. She takes the proper time to examine your skin and selects the products that are perfect for your facial session. I only trust Claudia to do my facials, celebrities like Sofia Vergara don't look the way they do with just night creams. You will leave relaxed, refreshed, and glowing after each session. read more

I love Claudia! I first found her off Yelp and setting up an appointment with her was super easy, she gives amazing instructions on where to find her studio. She even has parking for you in a covered garage! I've seen her twice so far in preparation for my wedding in September and she has been so through in looking over my skin, making sure that I will be glowing on my big day. She is also very personable! read more

Had a wonderful experience today. The place is super clean and I felt very relaxed during the session. I will be back!

This was my first time getting a facial and Claudia was very kind. She explained all the steps as they were happening and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. The price seems really good compared to other locations I looked at, and you get a lot of attention. Claudia does not take walk-ins and is really good at sending reminders and directions for first time visitors (I still missed the entrance, but it was my fault). While she has products for sale, she's not pushy and just wants the best for your skin. read more

Happy I found Claudia. It took one single search to come across her and her studio, the reviews were so great I didn't have to keep looking. Her location is convenient, instructions are thorough, the studio is clean. Claudia is to-the-point and very accomodating. She is truly a joy. I felt comfortable around her, so much so I fell asleep during her facial (which isn't uncommon). I purchased a package during one of her specials and I cannot wait for my next appointment. My skin looks better after one appointment and I feel more confident without makeup. Thanks Claudia! read more

The prices are very competitive considering other establishments nearby. However, I can't say that I saw a lot of benefits on my skin. She is booked solid most of the time and it's difficult to get an appointment in. Maybe I would have returned but the truly unbearable part was the latex gloves massaging my neck! The feeling is totally eerie and the noise of the latex rubbing against my skin, I just couldn't tolerate it. I decided not to return once my package run out. I invested a little more in a place that has a wider variety of services and can accommodate more appointments. Plus no gloves! read more

I first came to Claudia over 3 years ago after my face was abnormally breaking out and I was feeling pretty hopeless/desperate. After one session with Claudia, I could immediately see and feel a difference in my skin. My face completely cleared up after those first few months and has looked great ever since. Claudia does a fantastic job of understanding the needs of your skin on the particular day you visit (if my skin is dry one day, she'll do my facial a bit differently than a day if it's breaking out). I've learned so much from Claudia about how to take care of my skin and what products to use. I can't recommend her enough! read more

This is a much overdue update! After 3 facial visits with Claudia my face looked MUCH better, actually the best that it has in years. After struggling with mild acne since teenage years, she was able to clear my face just in time for my wedding. At each visit the facial included an AHA peel and much needed relaxation. Thanks to her, on my wedding day I was able to feel flawless and focus on the special day, instead of my skin. I highly recommend Claudia, my skin's angel! Read more details about my first appointment in my first review on 4/4/2017. read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about this studio. Claudia is class all the way with an amazing studio to perform her magic. I've recommended several people to her and they have all become repeat clients. read more

I cannot recommend a facial with Claudia enough! I have extremely sensitive skin and have been struggling with adult acne. Claudia evaluated my skin before she began the facial and communicated each step of the facial with me as she went. I was immediately amazed at how clean and clear my skin looked after the facial. I truly do not think my skin has ever been this clean, despite my best efforts to take care of it. Claudia was also able to give me some advice for skincare at home. I purchased two products from her to use at home and they've been working really great! I highly recommend visiting her. read more

I purchased a Living Social deal for a body wrap at Lilli Skin Care Studio a while back. I had never had one, but was intrigued by this magical technique that would detox my bod and help aid in looking slim and sassy... overall, I must say that I'm very pleased with the results. My body, particularly the lower half, looks much less puffy. My skin is crazy soft and moisturized. Claudia, a master aestician, was extremely professional and explained everything that she was doing - something I really appreciated. The whole process was done in a very relaxing environment/setting. For the aid of those who have not experienced a body wrap, here are some things you should know: 1) You will be provided with a disposable set of panty and bra. (This is good. I had brought an extra set to wear during the process, but it's nice not to get your personal stuff all covered with exfoliating creams, etc.) 2) It will be awkward. She puts the exfoliating cream and detox stuff all over you. (Not your boobs or lady-zone, but still... it'll be close. Now, here the thing: she will only be comfortable with what makes you comfortable. So, if you are really self-concious of those areas, just say so... she's very respectful of any boundaries you have. 3) You will feel like a mummy, so claustrophobiacs beware. After all the exfoliating and detox stuff is slathered on you, you will be wrapped from shoulder to toe in (wait for it.... wait for it...) Saran wrap! It is a hilarious process. You'll be able to maneuver slightly, but not much. Try to relax with this process. After you're all wrapped up, you'll lay down for 25 minutes on her comfy massage-table-thing. You will be cocooned in blankets. 4) It is normal for your skin to tingle and feel slightly sunburned during the process. It is not normal if you start itching - that's probably an allergic reaction and you should tell her pronto. It is also normal for your skin to turn slightly pink. This will go away fairly quickly. 5) After the 25 minutes is up, she will cut you out of the Saran mummy wrap. This was my favorite part. (Mostly because I was starting to feel the need to move/wiggle/etc.) 6) You take a nice shower afterward in her super cute and very large bathroom. Fancy shower gels, loofah and lotion provided. 7) Drink lots of water afterward to continue the detoxing process. Give it a try! read more

So happy I found Claudia via groupon. I am preparing for my upcoming wedding and been to her about 4-5 times and my skin has improved tremendously. She is very talented and a true professional. Be sure to check her site for deals and I found she offers better deals directly than via groupon. Just told my fiance I want her Facial Package for Christmas :) read more

I found this place on groupon, and decided to email to get an appointment before I bought the groupon. I ended up getting a really good response and deal, so I proceeded. I have been have 2 times and have my third appointment next month. She is absolutely amazing! I had really bad hyper-pigmentation after I came back from Jamaica, and she took care of it. It's almost completely gone. She has also cured my extreme dryness, and continues to improve the blemishes and texture. Would recommend this place to anybody, check her out. read more

I absolutely love Claudia and her studio. She is absolutely fantastic, very welcoming and will explain everything she's doing as she's doing it. She also is happy to answer questions when you, like me, know nothing about skin care other than trying to blast it with the most intense items I can find. I also love the fact that she only has one person at a time, so you never feel rushed or that you are only getting partial attention. Claudia also sells the products she uses right in her studio, so it's super convenient. I have had cystic acne since I was a teenager, and I am definitely too old to have my face look like I'm going through puberty again. Moving into all this humidity of Virginia from nice and dry SoCal definitely taught me how important it is to use the right products and seek help! I tried one session with her, then afterward had no reservations signing up for the 6 session package. Claudia has a whole process of cleansing, reviewing, moisturizing, toning, massaging, extracting, reviewing again, the whole nine yards. All this work makes me also aware of the other factors that affect my skin, like water consumption, sunscreen and how to even out my skin so it doesn't scar. She's amazing and I always appreciate her honest, professional opinion. Could not suggest Claudia more for anyone wanting a little papering for their face, or for treating their adult acne issues. read more

Claudia is amazing! I've gotten facials with her for many years and she's always treated me with nothing but kindness and respect. I've struggle with cystic acne for a long time and she's the only one that's been able to help me because she is so knowledgeable. Her product line is the only that doesn't make my skin dry. I recommend her 100% read more

I've been to Claudia twice now, she is great! I was concerned about my sensitive skin but she worked with me to find a treatment I was comfortable with. Her studio is always extremely clean. I'm going to be a long time customer! read more

I, my mom, and two sisters all go to Claudia regularly for facials and/or chemical peels. When you walk into her studio, it is cool, smells very clean and fresh, and music is playing softly. Thus far, I have had one or two full facials from Claudia, a six week chemical peel package, and two more chemical peel sessions a few months after my initial six. I have another one this coming Sunday. Those few months I didn't see Claudia, my skin went haywire. The extractions are NO FUN, but the results are priceless. Mine and my family's skin have all improved immensely since receiving treatments by Claudia. We have purchased the Rosa Graf spot treatment, ampoule (serum for treatment of acne), green tea toner, and my sister is hooked on the Tea Time face moisturizer. It's all pricey, but these products work. I have never been a regular patron of a studio/spa to receive facials, but after seeing the results of a deep cleanse, chemical peel, and extractions, Claudia will have our business for quite some time. read more

I took my mother for a facial when she came for a recent visit. Mom had one facial previously but had not enjoyed the experience so I was very careful in choosing the next salon. I had no need to be concerned though as she raved about the service and was smiling broadly after her session. She said that Claudia was very gentle. I will be getting a facial from Claudia myself. read more

Claudia was exceptional. She is professional, extraordinarily clean, and very skilled at what she does. I received the facial for acne and rejuvenating my skin since wearing masks is making my acne worse. She took her time, explained what she was using and answered all my questions. She is a great conversationalist and this skin care studio is a hidden gem! I will definitely be going back. She even has parking in a garage for you! All around a wonderful experience. read more

My first visit to Claudia with a Groupon for a facial. She is wonderful. I was so relaxed and my face is glowing. I bought her three facial special, I can't wait to go back. Her place is super quiet and incredibly clean. She's a professional. read more

I just moved to this area and after much research decided to come here - so glad I did! Claudia is awesome. I have combination skin with frequent blemishes. She assessed my skin then gave me a very relaxing facial. I didn't feel like she was rushing at all. She took her time and gave me tips along the way, and also talked through each product she was using. I am extremely satisfied! Claudia is being extremely cautious during this pandemic - she explains all the precautions she's taking to make you feel very safe. It's also super helpful that she has a dedicated garage for her clients! Cannot wait to see her again soon. read more

I just completed my third facial with Claudia and I'm now hooked. I went to this spa because I'm 30 years old and continue to have cystic acne. I have tried everything short of laser treatments and this spa was the first place to deliver results. After three facials (one every 4-5 weeks) and changes to my daily beauty regimen I now have the smoothest skin that I have ever had. This spa is a one woman shop. The easiest way to schedule appointments is via email. The spa is spotless and cleaner than most doctor's offices. I highly recommend using the products that she recommends, as they will have a huge impact on your results. I could not recommend this place more! It is a hidden treasure in old town! read more

I have since gone back for two more facials. First I believe was anti-aging and for sensitive skin. Very relaxing. I enjoyed products. Second my skin was ready for first chemical peel. I have to say I was skeptical, as seeing what celebrities look like after one. Claudia will examine your skin and determine strength of peel. She used a light one on my sensitive skin. It feels a little tingly, not bad. But I LOVE the results. It has helped dry up some acne I had on my face and my skin feels rejuvenated, like a really good exfoliating facial. She has great recommendations for high quality products based on your skin type/problem. See Claudia for your first peel! Thanks again! read more

This was my first time ever getting a facial. It was relaxing and thorough. They don't seem to help my skin's serious problem areas, but I don't think that has anything to do with the facial, just my terrible skin! It only seems to help for a week and then all of my problems return. Though for a week after I do look pretty dang radiant. The studio itself is very nice and clean. Claudia gives you tons of information to help you care for your skin and is very good at assessing your issues. She also has a Masters degree (which is a requirement in Virginia) so that she can give you chemical peels if you need/want one. I would definitely recommend her! She also sells amazing professional quality products for use at home. They are spendy, but I think the facial would make your skin look better longer if you could continue using the same products at home. I also found out yesterday that Groupon takes 50% of the cost of the Groupon. So, rather than buying the Groupon just email Claudia and she (and probably many other salons as well) will give give you Groupon deal directly. read more

I had my first Facial with Claudia yesterday and I am in awe! Maybe speaking too soon but I can already tell a difference. For the past 8 months I have been breaking out pretty bad so I decided to give Lilli Skin Care Studio a shot from all the positive feedback on yelp. My skin is in the healing process for the most part but I am now dealing with discoloration and hyperpigmentation. During the facial Claudia took the time to assess and explain my skin to me, what's causing the issues and what can be done to improve those areas, she took her time and made me feel comfortable. Afterwards I inquired about product she did not push them on me. I bought two products (night cream and the paste) as that was all I would do in my budget and for the others she suggested drug store alternatives. I left my facial with my skin glowing and didn't wear makeup the rest of the day and in fact don't have any on today. My spots are fading and practically invisible with the tinted paste I bought from her. Today, she emailed me checking on my skin from yesterdays appointment :) I scheduled my next appointment for four weeks out! I am excited to see the results! read more

I cannot say enough about Claudia. At the time I started seeing her I was experiencing a bad case of hormonal and cystic acne, which covered my skin in pimples and caused a great deal of hyperpigmentation on my cheeks and forehead. For the first time in my life, I had problem skin and it really took a hit on my confidence and self-esteem. I tried to hide the problem with make-up, which looked awful. Several facials with Claudia later, my skin has stopped breaking out completely and my dark marks are virtually non-existent. I love the way my skin looks naturally and don't wear make-up at all anymore. Claudia is very professional and knowledgeable. Her space is immaculate and her response time is exceptionally quick. She's also very personable and easy to talk to. She really makes you feel comfortable and taken care of. I will continue to go to Claudia for all of my skin care needs. The difference between the before and after picture is due to one facial per month for three months. You will not regret working with her. She's worth every penny! Thank you, Claudia! read more
