The results are always natural, refined, and beautifully understated -- you never look "done," just refreshed. Beyond her technical skill, she's warm, upbeat, and an absolute pleasure to see. After years of trying different practitioners, I wouldn't consider going anywhere else. She's a genuine gem and one of those rare professionals who elevate the entire standard of care.

I canceled my membership after my recent experience…read more I was charged a $50 no-show fee after missing an appointment due to a family emergency. I had to unexpectedly pick up my 2-year-old nephew from daycare, and calling to cancel a facial was understandably not my first priority. I booked my appointments in person after each facial, never created an online account, and was never informed of a no-show fee. It's not anywhere on the website either. When I asked about it, I was told the policy is on the online dashboard--but that doesn't help customers who don't book online and were never told about the policy in person. What really sealed the deal was the way I was treated when I came in with questions. Megan was dismissive and had an unnecessarily rude attitude from the start. I was polite, simply trying to understand the charge, and there was no reason to be spoken to the way I was. This wasn't my first disappointing experience with her either. I had previously received a facial from Megan that felt rushed and incomplete, which is why I switched providers. Alex, on the other hand, has always been the complete opposite. My facials with Alex have been thorough, professional, and consistently a much better experience. It's disappointing that one employee's attitude and the lack of transparency around a fee were enough to lose a loyal member, but that's exactly what happened.

Welcome to The Point, Facialworks! I've been frequenting…read moretheir neighbor (Pause) since they opened and when an Instagram ad targeted me about the new Facialworks location, I decided to make an appointment. It was my first time at a Facialworks. I arrived about 10-15 minutes prior to my appointment and was greeted by the friendly staff and quickly offered a drink (I chose coffee). Mimi took AMAZING care of me. She was so thorough in asking me about my current skincare regimen (or lack there of) and explained every step of the GLO2 facial. I came in with an open mind hoping for the guidance of an esthetician for the enhancements that came with the Cleansea facial. Mimi recommended the LED Light Therapy. They're offering special membership pricing for founding members and I'm thinking this is the regular self-care I need. I will definitely be back to try some of the other services!

I've had multiple microneedling sessions with her and my skin has never looked better. She's incredibly knowledgeable, attentive and genuinely cares about her clients. She always sends me home with thoughtful extras to support healing and never fails to check in after appointments, which makes such a difference. On top of that, Ali gives an incredible facial and dermaplane. It was easily one of the most relaxing facials I've ever had and you bet I booked another one with her immediately. She's extremely thorough and precise in her work. You can feel how much pride she takes in what she does. You'll be in great hands with her, I promise. And if you're considering injectables, I highly recommend booking with Montana. She's fantastic and really listens to what you want. As a commercial actor, I need to maintain natural movement in my forehead and she's the first who has truly been able to achieve that for me. It's such a relief and I'm so happy I found her. Needless to say, Skin Spirit Manhattan Beach is an absolute gem made even better by the incredible team behind it.

I cannot begin to describe the joy and relief I feel after working with Christina Wagner. For most…read moreof my life, I struggled with deep insecurities regarding intimacy and my body due to the scarring and active abscesses caused by HS. What has been a constant burden since I was 18 was virtually resolved in a matter of weeks. It is truly unbelievable. I was initially terrified of laser hair removal for two reasons: shame and cost. I was embarrassed by the scars from years of abscess ruptures and feared being judged. I also worried if a "cosmetic procedure" was the right investment. My dermatologist gave me a choice: laser hair removal or a lifetime of daily medication. I chose to take a leap of faith with Christina, and it was the best decision I could have made. From our first meeting, I knew I could trust her. Christina answered all my questions about pain, timelines, and long-term expectations with gentle understanding. I never felt like she was pressuring me into purchasing as many sessions as possible. Just whatever I needed for my goals. During the procedure, she is incredibly professional--always checking in on my pain levels and describing exactly what she is doing, especially in more intimate areas. She creates a space where it is perfectly okay to voice anxiety or take a break. We talk throughout the sessions, and the time flies by so fast it feels like I've only just walked in before I'm finished. Because of Christina, I am reclaiming my life. She clearly loves her job and is dedicated to helping patients live without the limits of stigmatized body hair. Christina, you've opened doors for me that I never thought I would walk through, and I am eternally appreciative. The front desk staff at SkinSpirit is wonderful--always attentive and ready with a glass of water. While the immediate parking lot is small, I've never had an issue finding a spot. If it's ever full, there is a shopping center across the street that makes it very easy. I've already recommended SkinSpirit to several friends. We all just want the freedom to live without judgment, and Christina is helping me get there. Thank you so much, Christina!

Susan's facial is truly wonderful and her positive energy adds so much to the experience. I had an…read more80 minute facial and it was one of the most relaxing treatments I've had in a long time. The facial focused on detoxifying the face using a jade gua sha technique, which noticeably reduced puffiness and inflammation. The ear lymphatic drainage was a unique touch that made a visible difference. The session also included a relaxing hand, shoulder, neck, and foot massage. Susan uses Murad products and my skin felt refreshed and radiant afterward. The heated bed was incredibly comfortable and the private setting made the experience even more restorative. Extractions were gentle, so if you're looking for something more aggressive with a lancet or needle, this may not be the place. But for a soothing, high quality facial with real results, this is a standout.

[Review #688] 2022 Yelp 100 Challenge (9/100)…read more I've been a client of Susan Halpern since 2014 when she worked at Murad Inclusive Health Spa (refer to Review #111) where I first started my recurring monthly facial treatments in 2002. I lost touch with Susan after the spa closed, & it took me another 5 years to find & reconnect as a client of Forever Young By Susan in 11/2020. Her "studio" is located in The Face Place & More Skin & Body Care, sharing the space with Linda Hirsch, Cloud 9 Massage, SkinFX, & Advanced Skincare By Marilyn. Services include anti-aging/acne facials (Luminesce, Acne Complex, Sun Undone, Resurgence, Back, Youth Building, Chinese Gua Sha, AHA Rapid Exfoliator, Men's) & waxing (Chin/Lip/Sideburns, Brow/Underarm, Traditional Bikini, Playboy Bikini, 1/2 Leg, Full Leg/Back/Chest). The facials are customized to client's needs & 50+ min. facials include additional services. I used to alternate between Luminesce, AHA Rapid Exfoliator, & Resurgence as a Murad client. Since reconnecting, I've been booking the CHINESE FACIAL GUA SHA (detoxification of face, neck, & shoulders with special jade gua sha technique; combats aging, reduces inflammation & puffy eyes, decreases pore sizes, help speed up cell regeneration, reduces stress) on a monthly basis to clean my face healthy & glowing. The daily life workload & stress, in addition to COVID-19, I really need this monthly getaway, even if it's just a small fraction of time. I'm usually just on time or a couple minutes behind, Susan always opens & greets me at the door with a smile (a huge + in my book that I'm not delayed because that cuts into my paid time)! =) The space is private -- just us -- but I always wear my mask & make sure I'm healthy before going even if we're vaccinated & boosted, & there's a temperature check at the entrance. The intimate room is clean & well-organized with dimmed lighting, comfy & warm bed, & relaxing background music to promote a serene & zen treatment. Before starting, Susan did a thorough analysis (to make sure this is the best facial for my current needs). As mentioned in the previous review, a good esthetician should recommend a different method than your standard MO because your skin changes with age, sun exposure/the elements, etc. Susan ALWAYS does just that at each appointment, adjusting the technique, timing of each process, etc. And if you're a new client, she explains what product & process in each step. At times, I don't even have to point out the problem areas because she spots these changes under the magnifying glass & adjust the treatment to rebalance & rejuvenate my skin. Sometimes Susan focuses more on my face, & other times when I'm rather stressed/tensed, she spends a little more time on the mini massage to remove the kinks & knots in my shoulders & neck. I'm highly sensitive to touch (= extremely ticklish), yet she skillfully maneuvers over these stress points with ease without my breaking out into delirious laughter. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Only 1 other professional, Francine (also from defunct Murad), was able to give me a massage without me squealing or squirming. Under Susan's proficient care & deft hands, the extraction process was minimal in discomfort that I can nap through the facial process when I'm tired. Most recently, I've been awake through my facials to chat in Cantonese. It's so nice to find someone who can speak the language so I can strengthen my Chinese roots, help me with common idioms & phrases, etc., bond over upbringing & familial care, etc. =) Comfort, quality, & care is what Forever Young By Susan is all about. Susan incorporates Eastern & Western techniques to detox & take care of the my skin issues that leaves me with dewy, glowing skin! I highly recommend Susan for your facial treatments. So sit back & relax... you're definitely in good hands (pun intended). ;-)
