I was referred by friends in SF and happened to be in the area, so I checked in at the last minute and managed to get a weekday appointment. This is located in the Sunset area of SF, and street parking, and she has two businesses, but it's right up the stairs to the left. Angela recommended the right facial for my skin type, and my skin felt noticeably better afterward. They also took before and after pictures, which was a nice touch and helped show the results. Recommended the right facial for my skin type. I thought I was going to come in for an acne facial because I had some minor acne, but she pointed out and recognized that I have dry skin, so we ended up with the hydrating facial. After the 90-minute session, Angela went above and beyond by educating me on what they did and why it matters. She also explained the different products they carry and the packages they offer, but there was no pressure when I mentioned I was already using products right now. Overall, a great experience, and I would definitely come back again

I recently tried Angela and her team's facial treatment for the first time, and I was absolutely…read morethrilled! Professional, high-quality, and with excellent service. After the 90-minute treatment, Angela patiently explained the process and its importance to me. As a man, I was initially hesitant because I don't have a skincare routine, so facials weren't a top priority for me. My skin is quite sensitive, so I was very skeptical when she suggested I start using skincare products. But she understood my situation and created a super simple daily skincare routine for me, requiring only three products. I've been using the Japanese cleanser, toner, and lotion for a week now and have received many compliments--redness has lessened, and my skin is more hydrated. Take good care of your skin, and you'll reap the benefits. I'll be back soon, thank you Angela!

The reviews seemed to be positive so I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did and it was one of the best experiences I've had so far and would definitely return again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good and affordable facial. Sandy, the owner who also performs all the services is very nice and not hard sell. She speaks mostly Cantonese and her English is not very good. I would prefer to speak in English, but out of respect, I communicated with her in Cantonese. I opted for the facial with the double mask and collagen as it's been a while since I had a facial. I wanted to brighten my skin so it wasn't so dull. Sandy really took the time to perform the service and gave me a shoulder, scalp and neck massage that was very relaxing. The overall treatment was about 2 hours and the price for the treatment was $80. You can find that anywhere for this kind of service. I was the only customer that day so it was quiet and I really got to enjoy the treatment. I would definitely come back again regularly.

This was extremely disappointing and upsetting, especially for something that should have been a routine eyebrow-threading service. I personally will not be going back and would not recommend this place based on my experience. I hope they take more care with customers' skin and the threading technique in the future.

I've been coming here for about 8 years now, not so much because I particularly like this place but…read morebecause I like to make getting a facial a routine (about once a month). Jenny's Skin Care is an appointment-based business. One of my biggest issues here is the waiting. Even if I have an appointment, I still start 10 minutes after my appointment time (sometimes an additional 10-20 minutes if she's running late). Sometimes if she's overbooked, she tends to rush your procedure and isn't as thorough. Finding her business can be a bit tricky. It's one of the several businesses inside a building for Far East Trading Co. The other businesses in the first floor sell mostly the cheap clothing/jewelry that you'll find in all other Chinatown stores. There should be a banner out front for Jenny's Skin Care, but it can be easily missed with everything else hanging outside. In order to see the actual entrance for Jenny's Skin Care, you have to walk into the first floor of the Far East Trading Co. building and head straight down the narrow walkway/hallway (the businesses are lined up along both sides of the walkway). Walk all the way almost at the end of the hallway and you'll see a single glass door on the right where you'll see a banner identical to the one on the outside of the building. If the glass door is locked, you're going to have to call the number provided on the door (or the number from the banner that can be seen through the glass door) to reach Jenny so she can unlock it for you. If the glass door is unlocked, then head into the hallway and up the stairs that lead to another glass door, where you'll see Jenny's desk, couches, shelves of skincare products, and magazines in a clear coffee table in the lobby area. Jenny is the owner and performs all the facials. (Jenny's Skin Care also has a person that does body laser treatments that reduces visible fat & sculpts, but I have never tried these treatments because they're pricey and, for the most part, only the elderly women in Chinatown use this treatment.) Her facials are very helpful in removing pimples, preventing acne scarring, and cleaning my face thoroughly. She first steams your face to open your pores, and while this is going on, she may clean your face and/or put a cooling gel-like substance on dry parts of your face so the hot steam doesn't make your face burn. Then she uses a two sided metal stick (one end has a sharp-tipped needle and the other end is looped) to poke and pluck those pimples/whiteheads/blackheads out. She has other numerous machines that help with the procedure, such as one that helps close up the open wound from larger pimples, one that helps remove difficult blackheads that she couldn't scrape out, and so on. She is very understanding of the pain you're undergoing during this procedure and checks with you to see if you can handle her doing it anymore. She stops immediately if you tell her or give her any indication that you can't take it. It helps that she plays some soft jazzy/light rock/romance instrumental music in the background during facial procedures. (For older women, she also helps massage neck & shoulders in addition to the standard massaging of the face like all other customers.) Next, Jenny prepares a custom mask for your skin type, and after she spreads it evenly over your face, she'll leave you to rest (I typically sleep) for 20-30 minutes so the mask can set and work its magic. This part of the facial experience is usually a hit or miss for me. I can sometimes have a very peaceful, calming half hour sleeping through soft, soothing music; other times, I'll be trying to rest/sleep but won't able to because I can hear Jenny and other customers/visitors speaking very loudly in the lobby area (normal volume for those who speak Chinese). Jenny speaks very little English so addressing your concerns to her in English might not always work. After roughly half an hour has passed, she will return to wipe the mask off your face and apply any finishing touches (additional moisturizer, creams for acne, etc.) before you get up to pay and head out. My facials typically cost around $60 each, but my family members have been sharing a prepaid package for years and that rate may be a result of that package price. Moreover, my facial is a standard/basic one (for the everyday issues such as oily T-zone, dry areas on cheeks, occasional blackheads/whiteheads that need to be removed, acne issues, and so on). I know that other middle-aged women have come in to be treated with anti-aging kind of procedures and those can run $80 or more. All of Jenny's products are Asian brands, but they're very well-known trusted brands (i.e., T&J, SK-II, etc.). Overall, I'd recommend giving her facial a try (I can't argue with the results). If you liked any of the products she used, ask for a sample! Also ask for validation on the 1st hour for your parking stub from Washington Sq. parking lot!

Truly Impressed - A Professional's Perspective…read more As an industry veteran who comes from the professional skincare industry and owns my own brand, I hold high standards when it comes to facial treatments and I have to say, this experience exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, Ya was warm, professional, and clearly knowledgeable. Her technique was meticulous yet gentle, and I could tell right away that she understood how to treat skin with care and intention. Her method not only helped reduce the inflammation immediately, but within days the my acne had fully resolved. That is not easy to do. Her process is thoughtful, results driven, and rooted in both science and intuition. It's rare to find someone who blends those so seamlessly. I walked out with visibly clearer, calmer skin and a renewed respect for her expertise. Highly recommend her to anyone serious about skin health. Whether you're dealing with stubborn issues or just want an exceptional facial, you're in excellent hands.

So there you have it, could there be a better reason to check out Dermatouch? (Other than the great reviews of this place?) ************************* I, too, continue to be a *huge* fan of this place, and of Betty herself. I have been pretty neglectful of my skin lately- seriously, for the past few MONTHS now, and I finally went back (and got a package deal of 5 treatments for a discount which saves me $10/per treatment or so, to make sure i go more regularly now.) Usually, I feel *really* bad about not going on a *regular* basis to my hair/nail/whatever person, but with Betty, it's like going back to see a good friend. As other reviewers have said, she's not there to sell you a bunch of things and make you feel like you have to buy everything under the sun. (I had to remember to ask her about what I should use between my cleanser and sunblock and got a bottle of reasonably-priced SkinCeuticals toner- just used it and love it) and she's thorough thorough THOROUGH in cleaning up the blackheads and whiteheads. She's a well trained and very knowledgeable nurse who specializes in skincare, so I really appreciate her feedback on the condition of my skin. My face feels so much better after my visits with her... and I feel all the more inspired to keep coming back. Somehow, it even appears (to me, anyway) to be 'lighter', which is interesting. (I'll have to ask her about that next time!) To be sure, weekend appts are easier in terms of parking, but she IS open SEVEN DAYS, so it's worthwhile making a Tuesday appointment, since she'll likely be 'freer' then!

I finally made an appointment after trying to do my own facial, aka popping a zit, when it went awry and I finally decided to get professional help after reading the first review. Betty is extremely knowledgeable and is looking out for your skin. She isn't there to sell you products. I made a last minute deep cleansing facial and after almost 2 hours I came out with CLEAN skin and no redness. Amazing. It does pay to have someone pop your zits for you. No scarring! The facial was $80 but like the other reviewer mentioned there is a deal on all facials by buying a package. I will definitely get a package the next time saving a total of $50 (or $10 each visit) and treating my skin better. Betty is the owner and is very invested in her business. I am so happy I found a place I can get good facials by someone who really knows waht she's doing.
