My skin loves Monique! She's very experienced at what she does and she understands that different people/ skin types need different things. She gets it. I try to keep up with 1x per month! read more

This is my follow-up review, and I genuinely could not be happier with my skin journey thanks to Monique. I first came to her to tackle acne, and she completely transformed my skin. Fast forward to today, no acne, just clear, healthy skin, and I was back purely for pleasure and maintenance. This time I treated myself to a glowing firming mask under LED light and I left absolutely radiant.( see photo). What sets Monique apart is her knowledge. Every visit, you walk away understanding exactly what your skin needs and how to stay on track. And your skin will be glowing and feeling so good. If you are struggling with your skin, I promise you Monique will transform you. read more

I've been going to Monique for years and she is truly the best. Her facials have helped my acne prone skin immensely.

Her fingers feel like magic as she massages your face during the facial. Highly recommend going to Monique for any type of skincare needs. read more

Monique gave me my confidence back! I'm almost 40 and have struggled with acne for years. I have spent so much money on various products,medications and treatments. My friend insisted that I see Monique. Initially I was hesitant because I was worried about spending more money on something that I wasn't sure was going work. I was desperate though to find anything. My skin texture was so bad and even my young children were asking why my face looked so bad. It was destroying my confidence and I felt so self conscious getting up and giving presentations at work. Monique was so kind and honest and informative and thorough with my facial. Within 2-3 sessions I noticed a significant improvement in my face and even my children complimented how much better it looked. I'm SOOOOO grateful that I found her! I won't go to anyone else now. read more

My daughter and I had the most amazing facials with Monique this weekend. I had the microdermabrasion facial with extraction and my daughter had the acne facial with extraction.

We already booked a subsequent visit at the end of the month. Thank you Monique and we highly recommend her for facial treatments. read more

I had my first facial with Monique and it definitely won't be my last. I got the European deep facial which filled all of my needs. I came in with so many black heads but she extracted every single one. I felt so relaxed and I notice a big difference in my skin already. I really appreciate her communication and professionalism. She is so sweet and also gives you tips on how to take care of your skin after. My skin was dry and untaken care of, and now my skin feels rejuvenated. It's hydrated and her extraction game is on point!!!! Thank you Monique for such an amazing experience. She is amazing! The price was very affordable, as a first time patient you get $20 off.

Monique is an absolute skincare queen. I found her because I was looking for a regular old fashion facial using Epicurean products. I just had a hydrating facial and I'm obsessed. The reviews about her extractions are true. Nobody enjoys extractions but she makes it quick and a little less painful. After all -- beauty is pain and beautiful skin requires extractions. I get facials regularly and was searching for someone new and I'm so glad I found Monique. Her delicate hands are swift and efficient. Literally like a feather brushing over your face. I appreciated the cleanliness of her room and how professional she is. Will be back every six weeks. read more

Monique save my skin, life long adult acne problem. First of all she is very good at what she does, she heal my terrible skin , and she is very honest , she would try to save you money and refused to book an appoinment for me if she think I don't need it , or stop me from buying too many products from her even if I ask to buy them because she knows I don't need all of them. I have been seeing her regulary since 2015 and before I found Monique I have been battle adult acne for over 15 years , I have gone to many different places, trying and switching way too many products and never happy with my skin until Monique came to the rescue. Seriously I have stop using make up only after 5 appointments , I literatly do not want to put foundation on my skin anymore . The sweetest experience with Monique is over the past year she also help my best friend's daughter , who just started college , and help clear her skin. She was going to some very heavy treatment from her dermatologist with no results and after going to Monique now her skin is all clear up , not only no more break out but beautifully glowing too. Most of all she is very honest, give the best skin treatment I ever had and my skin is the best under her care. I was so lucky to find her on Yelp. Hope other will have the same experience too!! PS. the review is from Kim, my wife. read more

I've continued to see Monique for regular microdermabrasion and facials and I am still SO happy! I have extremely acne-prone and fickle skin, so I was hoping to find an esthetician that would really spend their time to understand it and make a lasting impact. Monique has done just that!. My skin has never looked so good... Monique has made such a noticeable impact on my skin's active acne, scarring, and overall texture/tone. I can actually leave the house without foundation. I told her about all the compliments I've received, and she told me to share the secret -- "time and money!" hahaha. I have been seeing her every couple/few weeks, and have been pretty committed to my at-home care. I really appreciate that Monique's very honest -- even though I want to go see her super frequently, she lets me know just how long I should wait between visits so as to maximize the value I receive. She even offered complimentary "minor" cleanups between my facials because she knows just how quickly my pores get clogged. I took her up on that offer a couple weeks ago, and it was not minor at all! She really spent her time to clean out my pores. She is an extractions queeeeen. I truly believe this is the best value (and impact) facial you can find, especially in wonderfully expensive Orange County :) She's also just the sweetest person, which makes the sting of extractions a little more bearable. I usually have my appointments right after work, and I always look forward to running away from my desk early to go lie down and let her take care of me. If you want to transform your skin and are looking to establish a long-term relationship with an esthetician, go see Monique!! read more

Got some great advices from Monique about which facial treatment to have and how to take care of my skin! Loved my facial from her!

I really enjoy her assessment if my skin! I was able to use microdermabrasion with $30 off if you check in the yelp. She is able ro advise me which kind of skin care I need to keep my rountine. Also she use crystalizing to keep my skin smooth. My skin felt soft after days later! I am very impressed with her honesty! read more

I love how Monique is able be both casual and friendly but also professional. I trust her with my skin, especially since my skin has been improving every month and every facial has been a fantastic and luxurious experience (even the extractions aren't that bad!). I appreciate that she always answers my questions with helpful explanations, whether its about my skin or about the products she's using.

After years of consistently going to Monique and referring many friends and family to her, I would give more than five stars if I can. Her service is always excellent.

I started going to Monique at the beginning of 2021, referred by a friend of mine who has absolutely beautiful skin. Since my first visit, my skin has never looked better and the treatments she uses have helped to combat the signs of aging and improved the overall look of my skin. I also highly recommend Monique because she is very knowledgeable in the latest treatments and products and has made great suggestions for my long term skin goals. If you are looking for a new esthetician or adding facials/treatments to your routine, look no further and schedule your appointment today :) read more

The best facial ever! She pays such great attention to detail and truly extracts everything. Also very very relaxing! 100% recommend

The location of her facility is convenient and easy to find. Kim herself, is very nice and welcoming. The reason I am giving her 4 stars instead of 5 was because I felt tense during the facial. She uses extremely harsh hand movements in her massage technique where it feels like she is slapping you. Her hands were ice cold so it kept running chills down my spine. Her approach doesn't allow you to relax and unwind. After she applied a facial that needed time to set, she massaged my neck and arms for a good 8-10 minutes but it was the worst massage! It was so bad, to the point where I wanted to tell her to just stop. The actual end results of the European facial was fine. My pores were cleaned thoroughly and my skin looked refreshed. I need a few days to let me skin heal to give an honest review for the actual facial. read more

Monique is a true expert in her field. One hour with her will have you feeling rejuvenated, fresh as new. I highly recommend her services, she deserves 100 stars! read more

I used to live in OC, but moved to LA and I still wouldn't trust anyone else other than Monique with my skin. She does the BEST extractions for my skin that are virtually painless! If you look at her own skin, it's so flawless and tight I want to have my skin look like hers! She's so sweet and calming I always enjoy my facials with her thank you so much Monique ! read more

I have been coming to Monique since I was a junior in high school struggling with teenage acne. I was so insecure about my skin and she completely transformed my skin. Monique is extremely honest, kind, and talented at what she does. She truly cares about the client and their skin. She is easy to schedule with via text and makes the facial extremely relaxing. As someone who has struggled with acne for many years, I've tried many facials, products, and even accutane - Monique has been the most effective method for me. She is the best in the business!! She is the only person I trust with my skin! read more

I am in love and addicted to Monique's facials! After years and years of trying to find someone who is skilled and who I can trust, I am so happy that I found Monique.

Monique is really awesome! I went in for my first facial with her because I just moved to the area. She is really knowledgeable and has lots of experience. What I loved was that she is passionate in what she does and you can tell when she gives you lots of recommendations. I told her what my main concerns were and she gave me her opinions on what I should do. She has lots of years of experience in the industry so you can't go wrong. I waited a bit to write the review because I wanted to see if I would get breakouts after the facial and no major breakouts! Super excited for the next facial. read more

Monique is amazing. Her professionalism blew me away. This was my first facial and I was nervous but she did an amazing assessment on my skin.

I definitely recommend Monique to anyone who wants a top quality facial. I've been a client for over 2 1/2 years now and am extremely pleased with her services. Monique is, by far, the best skincare professional and gives AMAZING facials! She has such a delicate touch, uses high-end products, and even massages your shoulders, neck and hands. I always feel so relaxed and pampered after one of her facials. I've had more expensive facials at well-known spas, hotels and resorts, but they don't compare. Make an appointment with Monique if you want a luxurious experience! I also suggest buying the package deal to save extra $. read more
