I started The Idealist treatment via early access back in July 2025. Getting The Upkeeper treatment monthly has been such a game changer for me. My skin has never looked or felt better. Nics is the absolute sweetest and is the Skin Expert that takes care of me 99.9% of the time. She is so thorough during the treatment and I always leave Saelo with glowing skin. I have gone in for The Idealist treatment twice now since writing this review and Allison handled both appointments. During my first appointment in July, I had units of Xeomin injected into my forehead, glabella, and masseters. I was initially a bit hesistant to get Xeomin but Allison made me feel very comfortable and informed before proceeding. During my second appointment in August, I had shots of Oligio all over my face and jawline. When first getting Oligio, I wasn't too sure what to expect in terms of results. Now I am 3-months post-treatment and beyond impressed. My jawline looks so much sharper and my face is a lot more balanced in terms of shape. With seamless booking, straightforward check-in, knowledgeable staff, beautifully designed treatment rooms, and real results, Saelo has won me over for the foreseeable future. Can't wait to see the Hayes Valley location come to life!

I've been seeing Valeriya for regular facials for over a year now, and I almost don't want to write…read morethis review because she's just so good at what she does I kind of want to gatekeep her! I started seeing her a year before my wedding with the goal of improving my overall skin texture, tone, and health. Besides being a master of her craft, Valeriya is just the sweetest, kindest, most patient person. She really takes the time to get to know you and your skin. Of course you have to go semi-consistently for this to really be possible, but consistency is key with anything skin-related, and patience too. The first time I saw her I did a Hydrafacial, but she recommended we switch to DMK and that's what we've been doing almost every session since (with a few chemical peels sprinkled in). Every time I see her she switches things up as needed based on what my skin needs that day. That's what I love about her--it's never one-size-fits-all with her treatments--she understands my skin and can predict what it needs and how it will react. She's also incredibly generous with her time and will respond to texts whenever I have had questions outside of our sessions--she truly cares about her clients and their outcomes. I've also done Aerolase laser treatments a couple of times to target stubborn cystic pimples and have had great results. Of course Valeriya doesn't do the laser herself, but her nurse Pearl is such a sweetheart as well and I love that her and Valeriya work together as a team to make sure their clients are getting the right combination of treatments to address their specific skin concerns. Valeriya is never pushy with products, but I have purchased and used many of the products she has recommended to me since I started working with her. Although not every single product has become a consistent staple in my skincare routine, the ones that have are products I am truly obsessed with and feel have made a massive difference in my skin since using them consistently. My skin was absolutely glowing on my wedding day and I give 90% of the credit for that to Valeriya, and only 10% to myself for being consistent with my skincare routine (that Valeriya created for me). There's no one I trust more with my skin, and I will be a client for life!

I called to book him an appointment the day before and told the receptionist that I would prefer someone good and I asked if a male masseuse would be better. She stated that actually the female masseuse would be better if I was comfortable and I appreciated that and said yes I would love the female masseuse for my husband. She the tells me all the accolades the female masseuse that will be working on my husbands back has. Next day, my husband arrives and ends up with Rafael. My husband said Rafael did what he could but unfortunately did not get most of his knots out. When he got home, I massaged his back and was surprised with the amount of knots he still had. It was as if he never got his deep tissue massage. I'm deeply saddened because my husband still ended up paying out of pocket (expensive massage) and he did not feel relaxed after. On top of that, my husband sends me pictures of the locker room that was under construction and said guys were going on and out while he was changing. Very disappointing experience compared to the many other massage spots in SF.

RN Kaynaz at the Cow Hollow location has been amazing and made me feel so at ease.

She didn't rush, and understood the need for lots of ice! I have a low pain tolerance and was grateful she took such great care with pain management. Such a small detail made a huge difference in my comfort level. I went back for my follow up today and my experience was just as great (and I'm so happy with the results!). Kaynaz has a clear dedication towards enhancing natural features and seeing each face as unique. As for the clinic itself, it's super clean, gorgeously designed, and front staff is very welcoming.

The environment was relaxing with comfortable treatment tables, natural lighting, and soft music. I was very happy with the results, as my brows look polished yet natural.

The space is one giant room with curtains separating guests as they are getting their facials. It has high ceilings and the space is very soothing once you enter. On a Monday afternoon, it was really busy! I could tell as I was being taken to my section that there were at least 4-5 other people getting their facials. Once you're with your esthetician, you go through the usual questions (allergies, sensitivities, what products did you use this week, etc.) and the facial starts! The facial went by pretty quickly and there's a short massage (with some aromatherapy) starting and ending the facial which was very stress relieving. My overall payment + tip came out to around $120. And I got some samples to bring home with me to try! I think if/when I was to come next time, the only thing I would change is not have the add on (scalp massage) as I couldn't feel it during my facial. But other than that I think that FACE FOUNDRIÉ is worth trying at least once if you're looking for a facial at an inexpensive price point and looking for a place that can help you start maintaining a facial routine.

I booked an appointment with Roxanne after seeing so many great reviews on Yelp. I have acne-prone…read moreskin and have tried a lot of products and specialists over time. I also follow a maintenance routine prescribed by my dermatologist and usually get facials periodically, so I came in specifically for a facial. Roxanne is a very pleasant woman and looks great, which naturally builds trust. We agreed on a deluxe facial. The experience itself was honestly fantastic. At one point, while I had a mask on and steam over my face, she was also massaging my hands and feet, which made the whole experience deeply relaxing. Physically, it was exactly what I needed. However, there were two important things that didn't sit right with me and are the reason I wouldn't come back. First, regarding the treatment itself: I expected the facial to include extractions, but it ended up being only chemical and ultrasonic cleansing, without manual extractions. This is important for me since I had some closed comedones. Maybe that was just a mismatch in expectations, which I can understand. What affected me much more was the second part. After the 1.5-hour treatment, when I was very relaxed, Roxanne offered me water, stepped out so I could get dressed, and then came back in to discuss "next steps." She asked about my current skincare, and I mentioned dermatologist-prescribed products (Differin and azelaic acid). She responded somewhat dismissively, saying something along the lines of "that's from the pharmacy, right? It's not as good as these..." and then started pulling out products she recommended instead. She then calculated everything on her phone and showed me a total of around $550, including the facial (about $215) and three products, each around $100. She mentioned there was a discount available right now and said there was "no pressure," but it definitely felt like a strong sales push. I'm not someone who makes quick purchasing decisions, especially not impulsively and not at that price point. In the past, I've appreciated when specialists recommend options in different price ranges or explain alternatives with similar active ingredients, so I can make an informed decision based on my budget. That didn't happen here, and the situation felt like aggressive upselling, especially right after such a relaxing treatment. I told her I wasn't planning on that kind of budget and needed time to think, and asked if I could take photos to research the products. She said she would send me links and asked that I purchase through her if I decide to go ahead, since she spent time explaining everything. I left feeling very mixed. Physically, I felt great, but emotionally I felt a bit drained. I understand everyone needs to make a living, but I really don't like aggressive sales tactics, especially during a first visit and when it comes with dismissing what already works for me. I don't have any negative feelings toward Roxanne personally, but I wouldn't choose to repeat this experience.
