I can't recommend this place enough for your skin care and maintenance needs! I'm so sad I've moved further away or I'd want to come here every month. Seriously the attention to detail and pampering is unreal, I feel so relaxed and squeaky clean every time I come out of that room. The extractions can be painful but so worth it to feel clean again! From your face to your neck to your hands everything is pampered! Can't wait to go back! read more

This spa is the best kept secret of downtown San Carlos! Elisabeth is an absolutely amazing facialist -- truly a hidden gem. Her hands are magical, and every facial feels both deeply relaxing and incredibly effective. She has a rare combination of kindness, skill, and intuition. My skin always looks its absolute best after seeing her: clear, calm, glowing, and healthy. The space is serene, clean, and calming, and the entire experience feels thoughtful from start to finish. Pricing for what you get is incredibly good. Other spas and hotels are 2-3x this without anything near the results one gets with Elisabeth. What I appreciate most is how trustworthy she is. Elisabeth gives excellent, practical skincare recommendations without ever upselling or pushing products you don't need. You can tell she genuinely cares about skin health, not sales. She's one of those "almost reluctant to share" secrets because she's that good. If you're looking for someone gifted, honest, and deeply talented, Elisabeth is it. read more

This was my second Facial, I am new to this routine! My plan was to try different places and types of facials, BUT, I might just stop here. Elisabeth is amazing, her shop is beautiful and welcoming, I highly recommended booking her, you will love it! Thank you Elisabeth read more

Amazing facial. I'd prefer to keep it secret she is so great! Love love love this spa!!!!

Elizabeth is a gem. She's thorough and does such a great job caring for my problematic skin. She always goes above and beyond and it is just wonderful to be in her presence for an hour or so while my pores are being clensed Highly recommend. read more

Elisabeth is wonderful! I've been looking for a new facial spot and this place was recommended by my best friend. Elisabeth is so knowledgeable, friendly and gives wonderful massages (my favorite part). I had the collagen facial / extraction/microdermabrasion facial and Elisabeth was extremely meticulous. I felt very relaxed by the end and my face feels smooth and clean. I even got a free eyebrow wax for my birthday, such a sweet treat. Will definitely be back! read more

Elisabeth is a magician! The most amazing facial I've had in my life. Her spa is beautiful and so calming. I will be making a point to come back every time I'm nearby. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience! read more

I've been going to Elisabeth for facials and waxing for a few years now. She is my favorite person to see for facials. Her attention to detail on extractions is unparalleled. I'm not sure what else is different about how she does the facials, but I've experienced fewer breakouts and more even skin tone since going to Elisabeth. The spa also provided a relaxing ambiance. I highly recommend! read more

Elisabeth is such a sweet and knowledgable lady who knows her stuff! I went to her for a facial earlier this year as she was recommended by my coworker and even took my boyfriend for a facial afterwards! I love how Elisabeth walks you through the whole process and educates you along the way about how to take better care of your skin. The facials are very personalized and are catered to what your skin needs. My face felt fantastic coming out of there. My boyfriend enjoyed his first time as well and I'm surprised he braved through all the extractions. She included a free brow wax for his facial (saves me the trouble of plucking his eyebrows this time, haha!) He came out like a brand new man, skin gleaming and everything. The lounge area is very peaceful with classical music playing in the background and offerings of snacks, water, and wine are available for you. It's a cozy and clean place overall. Would definitely recommend Elisabeth! She has a variety of facials, treatments, and massages available to fit your needs. Appointments (with pricing listed) are easily booked online too! Customer service is exceptional here!! :) read more

I started to get my facial done by Elizabeth (owner) at Rebeccana Day spa a few years ago. A colleague highly recommended her, and thats how i got to know about her. I absolutely love this place. She is a great aesthetician, very professional, friendly , has a beautiful place in San Mateo & all in all, you can only expect good experience here. Price is totally worth the experience you get. Parking is easy to find right outside it. You are also treated with champagne & cookies:) Though I have never tried, you could also book your spa day with your girlfriends here. I highly recommend this place. read more

This was my first time at Rebeccana and it was an incredible experience!! Elisabeth is the sweetest lady and she talked me through the whole process. I've been dealing with bad acne and she made me feel so comfortable and gave me lots of tips to help the acne. This is the first time I finally feel like I'm gonna be able to get it to go away!! I cannot wait to go back! read more

I love going to get my facials with Elisabeth and Rebeccana, her facials are amazing and I am always so relaxed there! I highly recommend her services! read more

My experience at Rebeccana was wonderful. It couldn't have been better. First, I was late to my facial apt which the owner was so understanding about, and she handled it with kind humor and professionalism. It was me inconveniencing her for being late, but she left it at the door. She warmly welcomed me in and I felt safe being the only person there (during covid) and she kept her mask on the whole time. Not only was she a complete delight of a person to interact with, but it was also apparent that she is passionate about her work and she performed a thorough, generous, and effective facial. I can't wait to go back for another one. my face was clean and GLOWING after. I'm telling all my friends and family about this place. It's 100% worth the visit. The perfect luxury and pampering I needed was just around the corner. :) Thank you! read more

My original esthetician retired from the business. So I browsed around for a new one based on offerings of services and reviews. I couldn't be happier with choosing Rebeccana Spa after a year of regular visits! I'm a fan of current technology and services no matter the trade. Elisabeth offers an extensive menu of treatments for all skin types and other beauty treatments like waxing. The interior of her spa offers a lavish but modest atmosphere. With her warm greetings and smile, I look foward to my monthly sessions! I've had a combination of different treatments ranging from peels, LED light, oxygen facial and more. Her specialty is extractions and annihilating blemishes effectively- something that isn't easy to do on your own. I love how efficient and thorough she is with each step. The classical music is soothing and is a perfect pair to the decor. I have nearly fallen asleep at times. You definitely get what you pay for here if not more! Products are offered but not more than once. -never any pressure! She has a very convenient online appointment system also. I would suggest arriving a bit early as parking in this area can sometimes be challenging. I always feel refreshed and relaxed when leaving Rebeccana Spa! read more

I have been getting facials on and off for the past 10 years with other local businesses. While they do a good job, Elizabeth does a FANTASTIC job. Yesterday was my first time going to her and my skin feels incredible. She is also such a beautiful soul to be around too... I will be a regular customer for sure! read more

My face is glowing for days after facial with Elisabeth. She is the best! She is very sweet and welcoming and very skilled

I have been to tons of spas, had hundreds of facials, but Rebeccana Day Spa is by far the best! She's highly skilled and takes her time to give your skin exactly what it needs. No upselling or unneeded treatments. Highly recommend!!! read more

Beautiful work on my brow wax - friendly, quick service, and great attention to detail. Will be back in the future!

I've enjoyed two facials by Elisabeth and they were very nice, unfortunately I didn't get to enjoy my third. The past few months have been rough and I needed to do something for myself. I have young kids and it's not easy to find the time. I booked my appt online well in advance and looked forward to my visit with increasing anticipation every day. Finally, it was the day for my facial and I couldn't wait to relax and be pampered. Unfortunately, nothing went as planned - I was left waiting for 45 minutes only to be turned away. I arrived early, per instructions on her site, and waited while she went over with her previous client by 30 minutes. When Elisabeth finally ended her appt, you could see that she wasn't expecting me. She checked her schedule and then blamed me for booking a facial for children under 12 - yet her online booking tool gives no indication that the facial I selected wasn't intended for adults. I tried to explain this to her and she shook her head, saying that it did and then insinuated that I was trying get a cheaper facial. Ultimately, it was the end of the day and she needed to get home, I should've known that they don't stay past 7pm - even though her nail tech was still there and never said a word to me that there might be an issue as I sat there waiting for 45 minutes. I posted pictures of the online appt tool and as you can see, the Angel Facial does not indicate that it's for children under 12. Actually, it states that extractions and glycolic acid are included...really, glycolic acid can be used on children? There's also no mention of the costs or time for any of the services. In summary - after booking an appt in advance, arranging for childcare, leaving a work meeting early so that I could drive an hour in the rain, skip dinner, wait 45 minutes just to get turned away and drive another half-hour home. It was an extremely disappointing experience and so not worth it. Billing herself as a top aesthetician, it wasn't what I expected. read more

Due to "you know what," and life, I hadn't received a facial in over 2 years. I decided to go back to the amazing Elisabeth and take time for self care. I am so glad I did. If anything, Elisabeth has gotten even more skilled at giving the perfect facial. She knew just what my skin needed, took time with me and gave me the most incredible head, neck and shoulder massage while my skin was getting hydrated. Seriously this is the best facial I have ever had. My skin is glowing. I am committed to making time every 6 weeks for one of her healing facials. GO, you will be so happy you did! And what a great gift for the holidays. Shhh, don't tell my husband, but he will be getting one in his stocking! read more

I have been a client of Elisabeth (owner) for at least a decade and throughout the years (perhaps on vacation) I have received a facial from someone else. I don't do that anymore. There is no comparison, Elisabeth is the best. Her technique is precise and thorough. Her equipment is cutting edge. When I got married I made it a requirement that my facial with Elisabeta be part of our budget! Her family (so gracious, so kind) built this spa from the ground up and it is beautiful. I have NO doubt that whomever I recommend to Rebeccanaspa will be pleased. Thank you Elisabeth, Daniel, mama and papa and family. My only fear is that she will become too busy for me! read more

Again another amazing facial with Elisabeth! She makes my skin feel amazing and really gets all the bad stuff out! I love the exfoliation, different masks, creams and LED light work. And the hand warmers! She knows what she's doing! read more

After recently moving to the area, I found Rebeccana Day Spa as I was in desperate need of a 'Mothers facial', as I am pregnant (so very picky about products). Elisabeth, mother of two girls herself, was extremely knowledgeable about what products should and shouldn't be used. Overall a wonderful facial! read more

Such an amazing place, my facial was amazing can't wait to go back. Elizabeth did such an amazing job, & she's so sweet! this was Such a relaxing atmosphere, definitely felt like a new woman coming out of this spa! Definitely recommend read more

Hands down the best facial I have ever had! I have had many facials, including facials at high end resorts like Four Seasons and The Ritz, and unfortunately, I feel like you often end up paying for the spa facility (ie. hot tubs, sauna etc) instead of the treatment which often feels rushed and not personal. Just the opposite here. Elisabeth opened this business about 6 months ago and you can tell her passion for it from the time you walk in the door. The inside of the spa is charming and very clean. Elisabeth welcomes you with sweet treats and tea and takes the time to get to know you and your concerns prior to the facial. When it comes to the facial itself, Elisabeth is so detail oriented and works on you the whole time - unlike other salons I have been to that put a mask on your face and then ignore you for 15-minutes while it is on. She gave a hand massage treatment, shoulder massage, head massage etc. It was incredibly relaxing and refreshing and my skin feels absolutely amazing. I will definitely be coming back for some more pampering! LOVED my experience here. read more

I have never said "I can see a difference in my skin" about any treatment or product until now. Elizabeth did such a great job with my facial and shaped and tinted my eyebrows as well. I was super happy with the results and I thought the price was reasonable. I will definitely make this part of my routine! read more

I had my first facial ever and had such a wonderful experience receiving the ladies facial from Elisabeth. She was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. Elisabeth explained everything she was using and also provided me with skincare tips. I felt very comfortable throughout the entire process, and the massage that was incorporated was very relaxing. I left Rebeccana Day Spa glowing! I absolutely loved the facial and results. I will definitely be returning. read more

Came here for a Birthday party with 8 girlfriends. First the location... Very nice close to downtown and freeways. The spa itself is very quaint, feels like a home, crisp, and calming. Elizabeth is very lovely, helpful, direct and accommodating. She is completely transparent and gives you all the tools and tips you need to get your skin exactly where you want it to be! What a fun experience! I am elated that I have found this gem in Peninsula! read more

Amazing facial with Elizabeth. She is warm and knowledgeable and quickly assessed what my skin needed and the results were amazing. I hope to see her again soon. Her spa is also beautiful and clean. Thank you! read more

Both my mother and I have been clients of Elisabeth's for about 12 years, and we were thrilled to follow her to her very own day spa. Elisabeth has a wonderful way about her, making you feel right at home and pampered at the same time. Her skills as an aesthetician are bar none - I leave my facial appointment already feeling the dramatic difference, and my skin continues to improve throughout the week following seeing her. Rebeccana was built charmingly from the ground up by Elisabeth and her family. All the details are from Elisabeth's experienced and talented eye, from the beautiful crown moldings, fresh lavender bags, and refreshments to the darling outdoor patio lounge area, if you have a day spa party there. Plus, the convenient location is not crowded, so you actually continue to feel relaxed instead of worrying about parking or traffic. I highly recommend Elisabeth and Rebeccana Day Spa to anyone who wants the ultimate pampering experience with expertise. Can't wait to see you again soon, Elisabeth! read more

I've been going to Elisabeth for over 13 years for facial treatment. She has a very professional technique and listens to my needs. I have suffered from breakouts since I was a teenager and knows the specific treatments needed to prevent and reduce future breakouts. A couple reasons why she stands out from some other spas: 1. Professional- she has years of experience with every skin type 2. Detailed- when it comes to facials, she is very detailed with extractions 3. Sanitary- The spa is clean and bright! I highly recommend visiting her spa even for a smaller treatment if you just want to test out her services! Love it here! read more

If you are looking for a good facial, look no further. I've been to many high end spas, and comparatively, the facials at Rebeccana are the best. Elisabeth (the founder) is very thorough and customizes your facial based on your skin type and needs. I've been going to her for several years, and I always leave with my skin feeling clean and rejuvenated. Recently, Cindy gave me a facial, and she did a wonderful job. She is also very thorough and you leave with your skin glowing for several days. During the facial, she provides a mini massage, which feels awesome! Be sure to ask for the microdermabrasion, which makes your skin looking softer and brighter. read more

This little gem is absolutely amazing. Such personalized service, very relaxing ambiance, and very kind staff. I'll definitely be back

If I could give Rebeccana Day Spa 10 stars, I would! The Spa is beautiful and inviting. Elisabeth (owner) is a professional, friendly, and very knowledgable aesthetician. I got a facial and could not be happier. Best facial I have ever had. Elisabeth honed in on my trouble spots and explained how to keep my face hydrated. Elisabeth's grace and elegance gave me an experience I will never forget. Rebeccana is now "my" day spa! read more
