My mom has been going here for a while now and she sees KK. She raves about how great KK is and…read morebased on the other reviews, I can see why my mom loves coming to see her monthly. She talked me into coming to get a facial and I had no idea what to expect. It's been years since I had a facial. KK was suppose to do my facial, but wasn't available so CiCi (or spelt CeCe) took care of me instead. Yo! The facial hurt like hell! Had me tearing up, lol. It was painful, but my face felt so nice and clean afterwards! CiCI was very nice and sweet. She was honest and very knowledgeable. She showed me the paper with my ugly pores and gunk, lol. It was disgusting. We even joked around a bit too! I have a lot of tattoos and I mentioned how the facial hurts more than getting a tattoo, lol. But the massage was very comfortable and relaxing. The entire process was overall excellent and I enjoyed it. I caught myself dozing off a few times. Yes, my face was red after but also glowing. CiCi also said that I have some skin tags she can pluck or laser them off next time. She mentioned there is numbing cream which I'll probably need. I heard it's painful, lol. I'm scared. But I'll have to come see CiCi again soon! Thank you! Highly recommend! I can't say how much it was because I don't even know since it was my mom's treat.

Beauty Legend is one of the best establishments -- professional, experienced staff, and incredible…read moreresults. What I love about Beauty Legend is that the staff is amazing -- knowledgeable, evaluating your skin and explaining what is being done and what is recommended. No pushy sales, no pushy products -- just simply caring for your skin and recommending what would work for your skin type! As the facials are solely dependent on your skin type -- the focus caters to the person. For me, my facial started with steam, exfoliating, extraction of black heads and pores, following a neck and head massage. And then, masking and hydration. Products used are hydrating for my skin. I also had other areas that I wanted to focus on my skin and my concerns were addressed and treatments were recommended. The whole treatment and process was incredible -- the extractions did hurt but it was necessary and my skin feels so much cleaner and better. I truly trust KK and Cece and I appreciate their kindness and care when it comes to my skin. Looking forward to my next treatment -- worth the wait and totally worth the drive! Definitely deserves more recognition; small space but filled with lots of wisdom and experience in the beauty industry; love and care for your skin; such a hidden gem! BEAUTY LEGEND ***** FIVE STARS *****

My eyes were a little asymmetrical and droopy, and she did a little trick with botox that made them look so much more lifted and even. She also plumped my lips with a little filler and they turned out pouty and natural looking! They did take a little longer to settle than what I'm used to, but the shape is my favorite. Sarah, I will be seeing you every 3-6 months as long as you're in practice! Thank you!

I suffer from tiny clogged pores which can sometimes leave my T-zone feeling a little rough. Marian used some 'magical' gadgets to vibrate and loosen build up, followed by wonderful masks to unclog pores. She even had time for a deeply restorative facial massage (after some additional manual extractions which she kindly added in). The lash lift was the icing on the cake - she did such an amazing job giving me a really natural but enhanced lash curl. Like extensions but SO much better and more natural looking, but with fabulous length and definition. Marian's space is so inviting and her energy is fantastic for encouraging relaxation and self care. Highly recommend!

She is kind, attentive, and patient- thoroughly explaining what to expect during a procedure and answering any questions. She walks you through step by step and her methods for reducing pain are very effective. As a trans person, working with her is very affirming- she understands the nuance in my aesthetic goals.

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!

Luckily their location was not terrible to find, as there was ample street parking. When I walked in, the warm and friendly receptionist greeted and made me feel right at home. Throughout my visit, Shannon shared me with her wealth of knowledge of the various AHAs as well as retinoid products. I love that we were able to geek out on which products to use to achieve brightening effects. She also made some recommendations based on my skin type such as mandelic acid instead of glycolic acid for gentle exfoliation. Without trying to oversell me her products, she suggested that I try over-the-counter Nizoral antifungal wash for possible white-heads that pop up occasionally as well as prescription tretinoin since I had a few hyperpigmented spots that I wanted to fade/brighten. Given it was my first time there, she did allow me to use my credit card to pay but informed me that she only accepted cash or checks to help keep operating costs down. Since my back issues were minor based on her assessment, I did not schedule a return visit. I so very much appreciate her sound and scientifically backed advice (I also follow various certified dermatologists on IG for general aging skin care maintenance); I definitely will be making a visit if future skin issues arrive!
