I have very congested pores and my skin has gotten very rosy over the last couple of years. Minh helped me get very comfortable and was very respectful. She also kept our convo going when it was right and let me rest as well! I love how informative she was about each product she was using while she did my facial. On to the lashes! I LOVE them! My lashes are long and I'm a very low maintenance gal -- no make up just skincare -- so doing lash lifts are my way of feeling a bit more bonita Please go to Minh! You won't regret it

The whole experience was relaxing and I nearly fell asleep at the head massage. Her suite was welcoming and I felt very comfortable. She took her time and I left refreshed and relaxed. I left with my skin moisturized and the glow lasted days. She was able to recommend me products and a routine basked off my skin which I loved! If you're looking for your newest esthetician I would highly recommend Maria. I can't wait for my next appointment!!

She was incredibly attentive, constantly checking in to make sure I was comfortable, and handled every detail with impressive precision. On top of her skill, she's genuinely fun to talk to! No awkward silence here--just easy conversation that made the time fly by. Hands down the best wax I've ever had. I'll definitely be back!

Review: Back Chemical Peel (series) + Back Facial…read more (Tags: back acne, acne, bacne, back hair, back facial, back peel) Walked in with a back that looked like a cross between an hairy-filled oil spill and Shrek's swamp with a Milky Way of pimples on top. Walked out with a clearer back that had way less pigmentation and pimples, as well as newfound confidence. I'd recommend Mara a million times over - money can't pay her enough for the confidence that I have in my back now. Easy street parking, super cozy room that makes you feel genuinely calm and cared for (tip: ask for spa music). Mara is super skilled at what she does, but also so nice and understanding of my needs - and I would believe this would transfer across all clients as well. 5/5!

I found Tiffany through the Diamond Glow Facial website after doing a search on their page for…read moreproviders in the Bay Area. Before scheduling, I read Yelp reviews about Tiffany and went to her Instagram page to check out her work. People seemed to have good results, so I went ahead and booked an appointment for a Diamond Glow. A few days before my appointment, she announced on her Instagram page that she was starting Korean Stem Cell facials, and from the description, it seemed to really target my main areas of concern. I ended up reaching out to Tiffany to change my service to that treatment instead and she was able to accommodate me. During the facial, Tiffany described what she was going to do before each step, and she asked what my preference was as far as pressure for the facial massage. A couple days after I saw her, she reached out to check on me, which was also a nice touch. The most important thing to me though was to see results, and I definitely did. My skin was glowing and looked very hydrated after my appointment. It wore off little by little as the day went on but was still noticeable the next morning. I did get some pimples after my facial. However, I was already starting to break out before my appointment as it was that time of the month, and I usually get a couple pimples after facials/extractions. There were a couple more than usual and bigger and redder too this time. I will say it has been a week since my appointment, and my skin has cleared up since then. (In the left pic those are the marks left after I messed with the pimples on my chin, two of which were there pre appointment. Don't do as I do!) After the appointment, I asked Tiffany for product recommendations. She kept it simple, just the basics of what I really needed, and kept my lifestyle in mind. Basically, she made it doable for me and so that my skin wouldn't freak out from the new products. I ended up purchasing a cleanser and sunscreen from her, and so far, they seem to be working out well. My skin seems brighter, and I can't help but think it's in part to the products I'm now using. Other items to note: parking was really easy on my visit. The two spots behind the building were open. It says something like "Belleza" on the reserved parking signs - you can park there! There was so much street parking out front as well. Also, the front of the building does not say Motiff Aesthetics. I forget what was on the sign but you're in the right place! There are other beauty providers who have rooms in that building too. In the past, when I would try other services besides just a custom facial, and try new products also, my skin would freak out, as in break out and stay broken out well beyond the purging period. It has only been a week, but so far so good. I am looking forward to my next appointment with Tiffany!

Jenny Skincare Studio is tucked away in a Korean hair salon. I was recommended to her by a friend…read morewho also goes see Jenny and I have attended 6 sessions so far. There is a little bit of language barrier, if you're not fluent in Korean, but Jenny would try her best to answer your questions. There is also no one time appointment. It's a service package of 10 with the pricing adjusted based on what is your current skin condition. Your sessions are curated and customized to what your skin needs so not everyone has the same treatment. Given that, skincare is a very trust the process and not an one time done deal. Jenny is very friendly and helpful, knows what she is doing. I have been seeing her for four months and already have people complimenting on my skin. Like a previous review, Jenny really gives you a confidence boost and I see myself repurchasing another ten sessions once my current one is up.

You can tell MJ genuinely cares about her clients and takes skincare seriously. During each treatment, she never rushes through the process and is very intentional with every step. She's also always learning about new techniques and products from Korea, which makes me feel even more confident that I'm in good hands. I can honestly say that I fully trust MJ with my skin. I ask her for recommendations all the time, but it never feels like she's trying to sell me anything. It really feels like she just wants what's best for my skin.
