I'm really selective about who I trust with my patients, especially when it comes to skin. As a nurse in aesthetics, I refer my patients to Gabriella with complete confidence. She's incredibly knowledgeable about skin health and her facials are always intentional. Nothing she does feels cookie-cutter or routine , every treatment is thoughtful and tailored to what your skin actually needs that day. What I appreciate most is that she genuinely cares about the long-term health of the skin, not just giving someone a quick glow for the moment. My patients always come back happy, glowing, and telling me how great their experience was. If you're looking for an esthetician who truly knows skin and takes a very thoughtful approach to treatments, she's someone I trust and highly recommend. read more

Love - everyone is very kind, professional and knowledgeable. I just had my first facial with them after finding them online, I did my due diligence by reading reviews and checking out their IG before I went. They are who they present themselves to be, which was refreshing - no false flags. My esthetician was super patient, very thorough with guidance and recommendations. I have rosacea and my skin not only tolerated every product and device she chose but it has remained calm, hydrated and less red for the days that followed. I can see coming back as a monthly routine like she suggested - it was a great first experience, highly recommend! read more

I am so grateful to have found Gabriella and PurefectionLA!! Everyone at the office is awesome, and my skin has never been this consistently clear in my entire life. I was using some of the best skin care but Gabriella took a detailed look and revamped my steps with some of the SAME products which made a world of a difference! As someone who has always struggled with breakouts it's so relieving to finally have found someone who literally fixed it!! She is so knowledgeable and talented with the science to back it up. Life has its ups and downs, but my skin has stayed smooth through it all thanks to Gabriella's care. If you want your skin flawless go see her, just make sure there's still room for me! read more

Lisa is the best. Been seeing her for 5 years now and she's helped me out SO much! The studio is clean, services are affordable, and the products are literally the best (for my skin). read more

There are not enough words to describe how grateful I am for Gabriella and her team. I found Purefection and Gabriella about 2 years ago and she has absolutely changed my skin. I struggled with cystic acne and had been on every topical you could think of and did a round of Accutane at 26. I was frustrated that at 30 years old I was still struggling with these breakouts which made me feel insecure and were quite painful. I knew there had to be a way to treat this without medication and I did not want to go back on Accutane. We've come a long way since my first visit. After months of fairly consistent visits and trial and error of products we found what my skin responded well too and created my new routine. We worked to get my skin to a place where I could do the Skinpen microneedling to help with my scarring besides all the other amazing benefits it provides. That is a service that I know while expensive is worth every cent. It truly changed my skin and I'm so happy I did it. I am now in a place of maintenance which I never thought would be possible. Besides barely having a breakout my skin also looks hydrated, bright and I've noticed its texture has changed. I've referred so many of my friends to her because they literally saw my skin change as a result of her guidance and wanted to be a part of the glow up too. And nice girls don't gate keep so I sent them all her way. Gabriella has truly made me feel so much more confident in my skin. I met her so frustrated and full of doubt that I'd ever be in a place where I wouldn't care to step outside without makeup on. I now leave my house fresh faced more often than not and feel good about it. She is truly a magical skin fairy wizard and besides being amazing at her job she is the absolute sweetest human ever. Everyone else on her team is amazing as well. So incredibly kind, communicative and understanding. The vibes are just top notch all around. I leave every appointment feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Forever grateful I found this place and they've got a lifer out of me!!! read more

I thought I knew it all and thought I had great skin before I came here. BOY was I wrong. I've been coming here for about a year now and my skin is the best it has ever been. Where do I start, I saw Jessica for a facial and she set me up with some sample items custom to my needs and I never looked back ! Jan Marini changed my life !!!! My pigmentation from years of hiking and running is almost clear! If you were to ask me if I would change up my routine ? Or if I would trust someone else ? I would say absolutely not unless the team At PurefectionLa told me too ! They're really on to something. Enough about me ! The spa overall is clean and chic ! Prices are worth it and reasonable given you'll walk out looking and feeling like a million bucks ! If you're thinking of trying them out just book and thank me later :) read more

I had the most amazing and informative facial by Gabriella! She is so passionate about what she does and knows everything skin. So excited to finally get to healthy skin! read more

I've been with Gabriella for about 2.5 years now and she has worked wonders for my skin! Within the first 3 months of following her guidelines and getting regular facials I had cleared up all my painful cystic acne. After years of just testing products and wasting money on hit or miss skin care, I finally found my solution with Gabby and I'll never go back! She is an amazing esthetician and I'm very happy I started going to her!!! I've posted some before and after photos below showing my skin as time has gone on. read more

Gabby is the only person I trust with my face. She always has the perfect solution for any problematic areas. She is extremely knowledgeable about skin issues, new treatments available and anti-aging regimens. Recently, I bought a package of the PRX-T33 firming acid treatment and was amazed with the results. It's a peel that doesn't make you peel! She is so easy to talk to and she really cares about each and every client. She will customize treatments for those with sensory issues, like she did for my son. The staff are very friendly and her space is super cute and cozy. I am so happy I met Gabby and would recommend PureFectionLA to anyone who wants to have beautiful, amazing skin. read more

I had the most beautiful luscious lashes on my wedding day thanks to Gabriella! I was initially hesitant to get lash extensions because I had seen SO MANY bad lash jobs, but Gabriella made my lashes look SO natural. The amount of compliments I received was incredible! She instructed me on the best way to care for my lashes and is extremely knowledgeable on all beauty/skincare fronts! My lashes lasted for weeks and were very durable. I even went on a tropical honeymoon where I was swimming in the ocean, pools, and dealing with intense humidity all while having beautiful lashes! Highly recommend you visit Gabriella for all your beauty needs. She's a one stop shop! Eyelashes, facials, waxing...and her products are great! read more

PurefectionLA - Beautiful wedding day lashes! - Estheticians Near Me - Toluca Lake, California

Gabby is scientific, individualistic, humanistic... funny, adorable, compassionate. Gabby has transformed the texture of my skin. I was prone to redness with everything, and I came in with lots of flaking issues and confusion about skincare products and what to do. She evened out my skin tone, smoothed out and hydrated all my dried out areas - I feel refreshed and healthy. Jesse is awesome and Peter is great. Everyone here makes you feel welcome and at ease. Very generous with information and trying to get people more informed, while being playful, human and fun. read more

Gabby is seriously a god-send! While I've always struggled with acne, this past year my skin started purging after switching up my skin care routine. Deciding to visit Gabby was one of the best decisions I've made in a while! She was so warm, welcoming, and informative -- getting me on a stable routine that has worked wonders. After 3 facials with gabby, my skin is so much calmer & clearer. Now she's helping me get glow-y for my wedding. She's the best! Her new space is gorgeous and the investment in yourself is worth it. I 100% recommend Gabby to anyone struggling with acne or if you just need a skin pick-me-up! read more

I have had acne since I can remember, and I have tried EVERYTHING, and I seriously mean everything. Gabby has done wonders for my skin. Ever since I started seeing her, she has shown me compassion, empathy, and seriously one of the nicest people I know. Her office is so cute and inviting, and I always feel welcome. She spends so much time with each client, and every time I have a question about what she is doing or using on my skin, she explains it to me, which helps me understand what she is doing and why. She has really helped my skin become more even, I experience way less breakouts, and my skin is improving. My breakouts are way more manageable and we've done two peels and I've seen a dramatic improvement in my skin texture. I am on a strict regime that I do not deviate from! I've been seeing her over a year now, and I don't plan on stopping any time soon. read more

I've struggled with acne since I was a teen (I'm in my 30's now ) and have tried literally every single remedy on earth. I heard about Gabby through a Next Door post and when I saw that she specialized in acne treatments, I thought, what the hell, I'll give her a try. Never have I ever had an esthetician spend so much time on my extractions. But it's what I needed and Gabby knew it and I'm so grateful she was willing to spend so much time on me as a first-time client. My face was looking pretty rough after my initial treatment, but just a week later I noticed an incredible difference. I know my face isn't going to be "perfect," but I was so happy with the improvement after just one visit. I've had 3 facials (about 3 weeks apart) so far and my breakouts have decreased significantly. We're hoping I can get a peel at my next visit to start working on my skin texture, if the breakouts stay manageable. If you have acne and you're reading this, you already know that this stuff takes time. I would highly recommend Gabby as she knows what it's like to have acne and the toll it takes on your self-esteem. If you're consistent with your treatments and follow the skincare routine she recommends, you will notice a change for the better. read more

I've never been good at skin care. Wash with bar soap, rinse, repeat. But after seeing all the incredible results from people that have been seeing Gabby, I decide that it was time to make some adult skin care decisions. I couldn't be happier with how it's going. My skin is clearer, softer, firmer, and literally more youthful than ever before. She truly is an artist. A well educated, extremely knowledgeable, skin artist. read more

Gabriella has saved my skin! I truly can't express what an amazing Esthetician she is and I am forever grateful for her expertise. I have seen many estheticians over the years and was never able to click with any of them for many reasons... It was always either a lack of education they were willing to provide to me as the client, or the pushiness of trying to sell me their gimmicky products that always left me without any real results... But after years of struggling with clogged pores and pigmentation that I just couldn't get to go away, I did some research and I decided that I needed to make a real change in my skincare regime and dedicate the time, effort and money to products and care that really work for me. THANK GOD I FOUND GABRIELLA!!! First of all, she is insanely kind, caring, intelligent and passionate about what she does. She explains everything she is doing in a way that anyone could understand, and truly focuses on the actual science behind skin/skincare. She takes the time to educate you, so you also have a complete understanding of what she's doing for you, how it will effect your skin and what you should do to treat and maintain at home. She understands that everyone has a different budget when it comes to skincare and she works hard to find something that will work for everyones budget, while still helping them to get the amazing results that they deserve. I personally use all of the Jan Marini products that she sells and recommends and they been an absolute GAME CHANGER for me! I will never use anything else! Please know, that while Gabby goes above and beyond to take care of you and make you feel comfortable, this isn't a day spa style facial where you'll just sit back, relax and have your face steamed for 60 minutes.. Her facials are allll about ACTUAL RESULTS, and you'll get them as long as you stick with her! I see her every 2-4 weeks and will continue to see her forever or until she get's tired of me ;) Gabriella has 10000% changed my skin (and honestly, my life!) I can't recommend her enough! read more

I love Gabriella! She did my lash lift and I'm obsessed. My first ever lash lift was done by her and my second by someone else and let me tell you there's a difference in who you go to! I will never trust anyone else with my lashes! Her place is so welcoming and clean! All the products she uses are all top shelf products. Thanks for doing my lashes girl! Can't wait to see you in 6 weeks!! read more

Love, love, love! My skin has been looking pretty sad since Covid began. I went back to my normal facial place but didn't get great results. And then a friend recommended PurefectionLA. After the initial facial with Lisa, my skin looked 1000 times more radiant, moisturized and clear! I have now had two facials with Lisa and have gotten tons of compliments on my skin. Their products are fantastic and the new system I am following at home is helping to maintain the results. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you, Lisa, for making my skin look fantastic again! read more

I suffered with cystic acne and enlarged pores from the age of 11. My acne caused me physical pain that served as a constant reminder of its severity and destroyed my confidence. I wish I had met Gabby sooner. She has been working on my skin for a couple years now and I can honestly say that she's changed my life. Gabby is so knowledgeable and passionate about her work. She provides custom facials tailored to your needs and develops a personalized at-home routine. Gabby is understanding of me prioritizing my skincare while being a student and accommodates me with a budget-friendly skincare regimen. Based on my skin's progress she will adjust my routine, whereas past aestheticians give me a list of expensive products and make no adjustments. We recently did one round of SkinPen, and while I was hesitant by the price and needles, the process was totally painless and the results are well beyond my expectations. I never thought I'd be that girl who could go without foundation, but Gabby made it possible!!! read more

PurefectionLA - After one SkinPen Session! microbladed brows and some blush, NO FOUNDATION! - Estheticians Near Me - Toluca Lake, California

This post is long overdue. I started coming to Gabby Aug of 2021 when my skin started really breaking out badly (left photo). I never had a problematic skin in HS, but here comes my late 20's and i started breaking out here and there. I tried so many different skin care regimen, estheticians, derm, but gabby and Jan Marini products that were reffered by her were the truly ones that worked for me. Im not lying, i would be so upset and so insecure about my skin before to the point that i did not want to go outside bareskin and being afraid people would see my acne and acne scars. I followed gabby's instructions and bought JM products and let me tell you, It's def worth it and life changing. It's def not cheap, but she works with ur budget and also gives u samples of the products before u commit. So thankful for gabby and the JM products because as you can see, my skin on the right photo may not be perfect, but my acne has def been controlled and my skin is glowing! Thank you so much, Gabby. I may not be consistent on going every month, but because of this high quality products I'm using, my skin is staying clear and healthy! Thank you!! read more

PurefectionLA - Estheticians Near Me - Toluca Lake, California

My skin is THRIVING after I saw Gabrielle. It's smooth, glowy, and hydrated. My skin is combination, so it's hard to maintain it! I spend a lot of time researching products and skin. I've seen my fair share of estheticians in the past and I've always left feeling disappointed and felt like the treatment I received was mediocre at best. Gabby knows skin to a T! She spent time going over products with me, and customized my session to fit my specific skins needs. She also educated me on follow up home care which was so helpful. She is a wealth of knowledge, and you can tell she spends her time educating herself about skin. I trust her completely! Since I received a facial, I have moved to the Bay Area- but she's so good I plan on flying down just to see her. read more

Gabriella did the most beautiful, perfect, naturally long lash extensions for me and I got tons and tons of compliments from people who had no idea they were extensions. I love that! Great service and offerings. Thank you! read more

Gabby is an incredible esthetician who I recommend entrusting without hesitation. She has earned my trust through conveying a staggering depth of knowledge, delivering results, and genuine care. You will know why you are using the products she recommends. For me, we started with the basics and only added on when my skin improved and I proved I could diligently maintain the routine. This demonstrates how the goal is results, not pushing products & services. read more

I truly wish I could give more stars! I was so lucky to be referred to Gabriella several years ago when I was starting to see signs of aging/changes in my skin. Was looking for someone that would help me get on top of it with natural products and I could afford to see more then once or twice a year...From the first visit, Gabriella listened to my concerns and my thoughts on treatment types, overestimate me options, even samples of products to try before buying. Over time she has come to know my skin better then I do, and I always trust her reccos, yet she still follows up and takes such personal and time and care of me as a client!!! Not to mention being in the office with his is always a blast (if I don't pass out from being too relaxed first :) I love the new office and always look forward to my next appointment. read more

This review is long overdue. Let me start off by saying Gabriella is amazing at what she does! Not only is she professional but she is kind, caring and passionate about her work and getting to know your skin and its needs. I have been coming to Gabriella for almost 4 months and there has been a night and day difference in my skin. I used to have acne prone skin, with uneven redness all over. I felt like I could never be that girl with no makeup and "nice" skin. Boy was I wrong after the first few appointments I changed products and followed her instructions to a T and my skin began to break out less and look more even in color. Now I rarely ever wear makeup and have more confidence in what I see in the mirror!! I will continue to travel to Gabriella because she is the best of the best! read more

There are not enough stars to give Gabby and her team at PurefectionLA. I started with a virtual consultation where Gabby was so nice right off the bat & was extremely knowledgeable. She listened to everything I said & knew what to try specifically for my skin. She started me off with a new skin care regime & I immediately started to see results even before she ever touched my face! I now use all her recommended products, stay consistent with the routines she gives me, and get facials from her. Her space is so cute, cozy & welcoming. I have been dealing with acne and scarring for many years now & started to just kind of accept the way my face was & to finally be able to feel confident & beautiful without make up is like a dream come true. I can't say enough good things (: read more

I don't even know where to start! I was recommended to Gabby by a friend a few months back and boy oh boy has she CHANGED MY LIFE! I've dealt with acne and acne scars since I was in middle school (we won't say how many years ago) and as soon as I got my FIRST treatment with Gabby, my skin has never been better. I do not trust ANYONE besides Gabby with my skin. She goes through every single product and step with you as she's treating you which is absolutely amazing because I'm not only knowing exactly what she's doing to my skin, I'm also being educated with how it helps my skin and the effects I should be seeing during and after treatment. Gabby also provided samples of skin care she believes is best for your own skin and I highly recommend taking her advice! Her new studio office is so amazingly comfortable and homey so you feel so safe and secured! Oh AND her bed is heated!!! Perfect for the winter and cold! I won't ever cheat on my esthetician !! (Yes, she IS that AMAZING) read more

As a masculine presenting person, serums and oils werent really my thing. However, Gabi came highly recommended by a colleague and I decided to book a visit. I received the dermablading service (I think that's the name!) along with some sort of moisturizing mask and finished off with some sort of super cool neon light mask for inflammation. My skin looked amazing immediately after the visit. I actually went on a date right after I left her office! And my skin has never been better. She also sold me some Jan Marnini face wash, exfoliate and BioClear. I absolutely SWEAR by this stuff! (It works so well I have to hide it from my partner!). Gabi is really the most skilled, professional, fun and caring skin expert in the LA area. She has taught me so much about caring for my skin day to day and the importance of SPF! You are seriously missing out if you have not been seen by Gab yet. When she has availability -- take it. If she doesn't, get on the books for her next available opening. I swear you won't be disappointed. My complexion is even, my skin is smooth, hydrated and most importantly, it's healthy. I am so, so happy we met and I am excited to be seen by her again. Keep rockin, Gabi! read more

Gabriella is amazing. I love my facial visits. Had a visit this morning. I've missed her but since my last visit my face has been so good! I feel comfortable in my skin. I've seen her a few times and she made sure to treat my face with not only a good treatments for my face type but with so much kindness. I can't wait to see her again! I highly recommend her services. read more

I'm so glad I found Gabby! She's amazing! I came to her because my skin was red and oily, and I didn't know what to do anymore. I had tried so many different products, but nothing helped. After my first facial, Gabby gave me product samples to try to see what worked with my skin. When we found what worked, she set me up with a daily skin routine and omg I saw a huge difference within a few months! I finally feel confident going out without make up on because my skin looks healthy! Gabby is amazing, knows so much, works with your budget, and keep your skin glowing and healthy. She also did my lashes, and I got even more confident, so beware lol I definitely recommend scheduling an appointment with Gabby if you're ready to start taking care of your skin and lashes. She's awesome! read more

In all honesty 5 stars isn't enough. This place has changed my life. I used to be so insecure with my skin. Breakouts all the time and the scars that come with it. Ever since I started going to Gaby my skin has changed tremendously. I'm comfortable and confident in my own skin now. She lets you try the products and makes sure they work for your skin and makes changes where needed! I highly recommend coming here. It's worth every penny. Everyone is so sweet and caring. The environment is comfortable as well. Best decision I've made was coming here! read more

I had only had one facial in my life and couldn't understand the necessity or want behind them because I didn't see nearly any results. Not with Gabby! Gabby addressed my skins specific needs and provided me with products that would make my skin glow and stay hydrated! Our skin is all difference so no blanket treatment works for all. Beyond that, Gabby is kind, professional, and funny. She offers me products to take home but never makes me feel pressured to purchase anything (though I am always happy I do!). My skin has been glowing the last few months and I genuinely get complimented all the time. TL,DR Gabby is the best and book your facials with her now! read more

I love the experiences I've had with Gabby! She really cares about my skin. I always leave her feeling great! When I get my lashes done I wake up in the morning feeling amazing, and they last weeks! Couldn't be happier that I found her!! She works with my schedule, which is really helpful, and checks in with me when I have an event or important meeting that she REMEMBERS me telling her about!! Thanks Gabby for making me feel and look great all the time! read more

PurefectionLA - Sorry it's hazy! But I LOVE my lashes and facial! - Estheticians Near Me - Toluca Lake, California

Gabriella has completely transformed my skin. Not only has she helped me in having a healthy complexion and appearance she has revolutionized how I take care of my skin. Additionally, her treatments treat my beard as well. My beard is thicker fuller and less dry. Her studio is beautiful, peaceful, serene, and nice and cool so you do not sweat while she is detoxifying your skin and helping rid you of blemishes and problems. So lucky my wife found her and made me start going. 2021 has been the year of the glow up for me since going to Gabriella :) read more

THE best in Los Angeles! Gaby and her team are incredibly smart, honest and skilled with anything about making your skin look better. They don't do a 'one size fits all' kind of treatment, but instead any products and treatments used are what is best for YOUR skin. Everything is so customized and personalized and they all really care. I've asked about procedures and have been told they wouldn't be the best for my skin. Other places would have just done the treatment no matter what. Gaby researches products for at least a year before she brings them on board, so she really knows what she's doing and I, a billion percent, trust her. I've had the PRX treatments and the skin pen treatments and have seen lines vanish and have gotten so many comments on the quality of my skin. I've also switched out my products to her suggestions and bingo, I've seen the results. No longer dry and instead less lines and more hydrated. Also, Gaby is amazing with extractions AND repairing holes from acne. She is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! Oh! And add in friendly, down to earth, kind, and sensitive to your needs! She's not going to recommend a gazillion expensive products/treatments if it's not in your budget. She works within what's good for you and never makes you feel like awkward about it! I LOVE HER AND HER TEAM!!!!!!! I'm in my 60's if that makes a difference. read more

Gabriella has made my skin feel so much better in just one session. I was not happy with the texture of my skin on my cheeks, it felt very rough. After my first facial I could feel a difference right away. I have had a few more sessions and can feel and see a difference. When I wear make up it looks smooth and last longer throughout the day. I especially love how calming each facial is and how much my skin as transformed! read more

Gaby is a doctor of skin. I feel she really takes the time to get to know my skin goals and budget. I am so pleased with her work and my skin since I have been seeing her and glad I am no longer aimlessly buying product that doesn't work and not getting results for hyperpigmentation. 2 peels down and so pleased. read more

Gabriella is amazing! So professional, so sweet and helped give me incredible skin :) I am so grateful for her expertise and knowledge. Within a few weeks my skin has been transformed! Thank you :) read more

I've been going to Gabriella for about a year and a half. She was there for me throughout my pregnancy melasma and pigmentation, and has always keeps my skin and lashes on point. Prior to her I only had facials once or twice a year and I never felt blown away by the results. Now every time I leave the salon I notice a significant difference - I'm a "picker" and stare at my pores every time I pass a mirror so I definitely see improvement. I'm excited to see the results of my first peel! I trust her 100% read more

Gabriella is amazing! I was first introduced to her by a close friend who recommended that I try her out for lash extensions. During the entire visit she was so friendly and really put me at ease. I knew nothing about extensions so she really took the time to educate me on how the process works and how to properly care for them, not to mention she made my lashes perfect for my eye shape and face. After a few more visits, I started trying out some of her skin care treatments. Just like for the lashes, she really took her time to learn my skin and understand my concerns. I hate people who just push products to make money and let me tell you - she is not like that. Everything she recommended to me she would personally use and request for herself. I am now a regular and my skin (and lashes) love her for it! read more
