I had a great experience here getting my first facial and would highly recommend this place! The interior of the spa was very cute and simple, making it really inviting as I waited for my appointment time. All of the workers wore face masks and seemed like they kept their space COVID safe. The appointment started off with me sharing about skin care concerns or things I wanted to focus on that day. I felt like she took into consideration my concerns for rough patches and blemishes. After the appointment was over, I felt super relaxed and happy with how my skin immediately felt. Their facials are definitely a bit pricey, but I would say the experience is worth it as a nice way to treat yourself :) read more

I'm so lucky I found Shawna and have been seeing her for a facial every month for over 5 years. Many of her clients have been with her for much longer! Getting a facial with Shawna has been the best investment in self-care I could have done for myself. My skin has never looked or felt better, and I leave every session with an amazing glow. Like many other reviewers have said, she tailors every facial to what you need at that time. Bonus: she's also just a cool human. read more

Jenny is one of a kind. She has taught me so much about my skin and I enjoy seeing the results from all her training and new techniques. I walk in with dehydrated, congested and irritated skin from living in LA and walk out looking and feeling like a whole new person. My skin is lifted, dewy and plump and I feel amazing. read more

Shawna, the owner, is a miracle worker! when i'm in LA, i go in monthly for a custom facial + LED add on session. sometimes we work on clearing up the skin, other times on hydration, it depends on what i need that month. she is super careful and meticulous with extractions, which is great because i scar easily and have never had that issue with her extractions. the spa is super cute too. there is a lot of street parking in the residential area off of washington too read more

Jenny is my go to girl for facials these days, Supreme relaxing environment, super yummy smelling products, and exquisite skills with her hands . She makes my face look ageless smooth. Her Lympth drain massage is epic. Do not hesitate and gift yourself some great face healing care and rejuvenate. read more

I've been coming here for years, and I love Jenny! She's so warm and welcoming, and the environment is very intimate and comfortable. She takes really good care of my skin and my soul. I would recommend her to anyone. she uses great products that don't have any of the nasties. She's also a wealth of knowledge. Loveliness all around read more

I have recommended Jenny at Saving Faces to everyone I know. I cannot speak highly enough of her. She is so knowledgeable about skin and how to take care of it. I go in for monthly facials alongside microneedling every 4 weeks and my skin has transformed. If you're struggling with your skin, consult Jenny and you won't regret it! If I could give her a 10/10, I would! read more

Aaaamazing facial with Jennifer. Highly recommend her, love all the products she used and the shoulder massage at the end. She was amazing

Amazing experience! The place is super cute, love the ambience and felt very comfortable. Had the best facial of my life with Jenny. 10/10 recommend. Just book it. read more

Saving Faces is the only place I'll go to have my skin cared for. I've been going to Jenny for many years and no other aesthetician compares. Jenny really knows skin care, I feel so taken care of in her hands, and my skin looks brand new and feels incredible after each session. I am so happy that Saving Faces exists and can't wait for my next treatment. read more

I just experienced my first facial with Shawna and it was fantastic! I am Asian and have skin prone to sun spots and dryness so wanted to try microdermabrasion for the first time. I can't believe how much brighter and lighter my skin was after just one treatment. I got the 60 minute Glow Time facial and the products, the extraction, and the relaxing massaging was such a wonderful combination. And her treatment bed was so comfortable, I felt like I was lying on a cloud! Shawna was also so knowledgeable about products and was able to tell me how to optimize what I am already using at home as well recommend a couple of new products for my hyper-pigmentation and dryness. I am thrilled to have found such a wonderful skin expert and will be returning regularly as a client. read more

The owner Shawna is amazing and really knows how to care and tailor the service just for you and your individual needs. She genuinely cares and wants the best for you and your skin, I have been so cautious to go to anyone since moving the states after a really bad experience which left my skin badly sensitized and damaged for several months after. I am so glad I've found shawna and after an amazing facial I am already looking forward to my next visit. REVIEW UPDATE : have just been back for my third time to see Shawna and cannot speak highly enough of my experiences here ! Every visit has been amazing - she is such an expert at what she does and my skin feels incredible every time . I have problematic overly sensitive skin which tends to be very dry and she has saved me and made my skin feel amazing without any burning or sensitivity to her products and she has completely rid me of milia build up I never realized I had ! I can not recommend her enough to anyone who is considering a facial . The grass roots facial is definitely worth every penny ! read more

This place is great! As a guy who waxes his eyebrows, it's a bit unnerving to try new places. I'm always afraid of walking out looking like the newest cast member of the Jersey Shore, but I have to say that was furthest from my experience here. Shauna greeted me at the door with a big smile and a positive energy...I felt at ease immediately. Unlike other places I've been, Saving Faces cares not only about the outcome of the service, but also about the experience. I felt like I was at a spa...yet I was getting hair ripped out of my face! As for the ripping, couldn't even feel it since Shawna is a pro at what she does. Great place, great people, great vibe! read more

I've been going to Brentwood and Culver City for my Brazilian waxes and eyebrow-eyelash tints in rush hour traffic for awhile now, and decided to see what was in my 'hood in Marina del Rey. I found this little gem of a place on Yelp, with such great reviews and comparable prices, so I decided to give it a try. My appointment was at 3:15 PM, so I walked the block-and-a-half to the salon, leaving at 3 PM, and getting there early. I was given a friendly greeting, and led to a very calm and comfortable place to wait for my appointment. Since it was my first visit, they asked me to fill out a form about myself, which I did. At 3:15 PM, Jenny came to get me, and escorted me to a very quiet, comfy back room for the wax and tints. There was soft music and the room also smelled great! By 3:45 PM, Jenny was finished with my three services. I paid and tipped, and left, and got home before 4 PM. All of that took less than 1 hour! I love the waxing job she did. She made it as painless as possible, although I have been getting them for several years now. My eyebrows also look AMAZING - she did one of the best jobs on my eyebrow tint that I've ever had. This is my new place for aesthetician services!!!! I want to try a facial some time. :) read more

I ventured in today to treat myself to a little love at Saving Faces. Best gift to myself I have had in a while. I had a Groupon for a facial, foot scrub and glass of champagne and I was certainly in for a treat. The facility was very clean and welcoming and the minute I arrived, I was welcomed and asked if I needed anything. The space is cool, its a house that has been converted into a skin service unit but it is very professional. Despite this it has a homey feel. This may be due to the fact that they have an adorable pug who lives in and can even be requested for some puppy cuddle time while you have your face pampered. My facial was thorough and very relaxing. My person was Shawna who was really nice and answered all my first timer questions, and I felt very comfortable. Overall I was very impressed and felt it was clean, affordable, inviting and pretty awesome. I will be back! read more

Shawna did a great job and made time in her busy schedule to see me. Will come here again:-)

Shawna gives a fantastic facial! My girls and I have been going to her for years! Gentle and thorough! She never tries to sell me anything. Highly recommended! read more

I've been coming here since February 2021, and Christine has been so great. I've come in a few times for extractions to prep my skin to be it's best before my wedding in February, and Christine is gentle yet effective (like another Yelp reviewer shared). She customizes your facial to what your skin needs, and doesn't stop right at 45 minutes - she finishes when her service is complete to make sure you are receiving a quality service. I highly recommend this place!! read more

Kayla is a perfectionist who knows her way around a face. So appreciative of her thoroughness and understanding of my skin. I'll absolutely be going back to her!! read more

This place is amazing. Very reasonable prices. Your face will feel totally refreshed and clean when you leave. They are truly specialists and do a fantastic job every time I've been. Treat yourself and try a facial! read more

Great microdermabrasion facial! Could use some aesthetic tips in the spa, but the staff are great.

Thank you Jenny for saving my skin! My facial was so relaxing and helpful for my skin. Jenny is really knowledgable about skin and taught me so much about simple ways to fix my breakouts. I woke up today with glowing skin. I will be coming back again! read more

Jenny is wonderful! I am an African-American woman whose had acne and scarring all her life. Since moving to L.A., I have been on a search to find an esthetician who can handle ethnic skin. I had heard that micro-dermabrasions worked MAGIC, but was always told years earlier that it was not made for my skin since women of color tend to keloid and scar easier. So as a result, I stayed away from it. After doing my own research, I decided to take a chance and try to find the most qualified salon I could. Thankfully, I found Saving Faces and am so greatful! Jenny has performed miracles! I never thought my face would look this great and after ONLY ONE microdermabrasion. Not only is Jenny fantastic at what she does, but the whole atmosphere of the salon is very soothing and relaxing. I've since referred my sisters and mother there, and I tell anyone whose looking for a great salon experience to go to Saving Faces Skin Care Salon! read more

It took a long, long time, but I think I've finally found my "facial place" in Los Angeles! I can't sing Saving Faces enough praises. A few weeks back, my turbulent skin was undergoing yet another rough ride, and I decided to seek help. My skin tends to be either very under control, or really broken out, with no in between. I've found that high stress levels, a poor diet, and forgetting to wash my face at night are all factors that provoke my acne. Lately, I've had all of the above (ouch). I can't even remember the last time my skin looked so bad. I usually have pretty negative experiences with facials, meaning, they simultaneously do nothing for me/my skin, and make it look even worse for a day or two. I always keep telling myself to give up on them, but I'll end up getting a bout of acne, finding a new place with glowing Yelp reviews, and thinking, "Okay, maybe this will be the place for me!" Unfortunately, most people don't know what a good facial is, or I just must have the most stubborn skin ever. I've literally been to dozens of places for facials, and hardly any of them did any good, and/or were incredibly overpriced (excluding a day spa in Maui). But then I found this gem of a salon, and I'm definitely going to be a new regular. I squeezed in an appointment with Mary Alice in the late afternoon a few weeks back. She was a total sweetheart, for starters. I explained what was up with my face, and added that most lactic acid peels and things of that ilk tend to irritate my sensitive skin. She ran me through a brief game plan, and we began. She dolled up my skin with the most amazing smelling products (my particular favorite was a warm honey mask) and extracted well - my skin looked great after, which (according to my skin research) is what's supposed to be the case - if you're super red, they're doing it wrong. My skin was glowing soft and my acne went away within a few days. In short, the facial did its job beautifully, and the pricing is very reasonable. I highly recommend this salon and Mary Alice if you need a good facial. Trust me, I know my stuff! read more

Love this place! I first discovered it through a LivingSocial deal and am so glad I decided to check it out! It's a small place, serene, very clean, airy, and open. I've visited with both Jenny and Shawna for peels/ facials and LOVE them both. So personable, friendly, warm - you feel really comfortable from the start. Chatty in the beginning but quiet once you begin - very relaxing. You get alone time under the steam and an amazing neck/upper arm massage while your treatment does its work. Most importantly - the treatments themselves. I have oily, problem skin and I've gotten facials elsewhere - no one else really digs in with those extractions and clears up my face like this place. This is my favorite facial place by far. Best of all, they don't try to peddle products on you at the end. Will definitely be back. read more

I was blessed to have Kayla, she was a dream. She took her time, didn't rush, and answered all questions. I left with such a great glow. I look forward to seeing her next month. read more

Today was my first visit to Saving Faces and I will certainly become a regular customer. I'm in my 30's and still suffer from bad and sometimes painful acne breakouts. Shauna made me so comfortable and my experience this morning was great. She gave me more information about my breakouts than any of my past dermatologists. She was educative but didn't try to push her products. She's personable, professional and thorough. And, the treatments are affordable. I have a way to go before having perfectly clear skin, but I'm now looking forward to the journey. read more

Jenny and SF, how do I love thee? Well, let me count a few ways... The space is beautiful. Cozy, light, and comfortable. Everyone is super sweet and very professional. I never have to wait more than five minutes, even on a busy Saturday. I have gone to Jenny for several facials and microdermabrasion and am never disappointed. My face always looks fantastic and feels like a baby's butt. It's been such a positive experience that I now have a standing Saturday appointment (once a month) and get so excited when my day rolls around! Next time, I'm combining it with a massage. I. Can't. Wait. PS. Pricing is extremely fair, especially considering the location. A few other places around charge a lot more for the same services. Also, no upsell (yay!). Seriously, try them. I wouldn't steer you wrong. read more

Best bikini wax I've ever gotten, bar none. I have seen Jen for facials now and again over the past few years and have always been happy with them. Recently I decided to get a little grooming done on another part of my body and was happy to find out Jen has skills in that department too! She was fast, thorough, and relatively painless (in comparison to some other dominatrix-like waxers I've been serviced by). She followed my "styling" instructions and didn't leave me a big sticky mess. I definitely felt like this was a good deal, worth the price which was on the cheap side of average for LA. I will always try to return to Jen for this particular upkeep and recommend her highly. read more

One of the TOP facials I have had if not THE TOP! What a find! We Yelped it and were lucky enough to get in the same day with Christine. We each did the CBD Facial and loved the products and bout the CBD Face Oil and the Natural Honey Mask, amazing products and so much more! So thorough and a wonderful experience form start to finish! I looked so good when we were done! They did the sound bowls at the end and a beautiful little experience that will be a surprise. You'll love it! Beautiful scents and sound on top of a great facial! We'll be back! read more

After having a pretty constant battle with my skin, Saving Faces has been an amazing find. Earlier this year, I was placed on oral medication for my acne which then caused me to gain a serious amount of weight. I stopped taking the medicine and discovered Saving Faces. I've seen Jenny only two times ...but both times I left feeling not only thoroughly relaxed, but my skin feels great! Feeling good about my skin has seldom happened. Mary Alice is also wonderful and welcoming when I've been in the salon. I love this place and plan on making it part of my skin regimen with an appointment every month to six weeks. I most definitely suggest this place to anyone looking for a skin care solution! read more

I found this place through a groupon and I am so happy to say that for once, Groupon did not disappoint! The salon is located on busy Washington but there was plenty of free street parking on Oxford st. The overall atmosphere of the salon is very inviting, warm and tranquil. You are immediately greeted with a smile by the receptionist and brought into a nice comfortable waiting area. They offer tea and water. Look through the photo book, "Old Dogs." It will make you smile, cry, and laugh at the same time. I had the pleasure of meeting Mary Alice who was radiating with great energy. She ended up waxing my legs. We talked like old friends and the treatment was pain free. You can immediately tell that she's a great person who is very caring and nurturing. I heard that she gives amazing facials. I will definitely be making an appt to experience one in the future. read more

One of the better facial places on the westside for sure! I had a facial with Jenny and she appeared quite knowledgeable and warm during my visit. The place is nicely decorated with a bright yet peaceful wibe. Parking was available for free on the street (weekday afternoon). The facial was good, she used dermalogica products and truly made me feel fresh and relaxed after the procedure. She performed extractions well (not too painful) and also did a neck and shoulder massage. Only suggestion I could offer for improvement: It would be nice if you could inform the clients what you are about to do (especially before using noisy and tingly machine equipments) so we are not startled. Also, I was left alone for longer than stated during the steaming. Overall, I had a good experience and will recommend to try this place. It can be a bit pricey compared to other facial places on westside, but the quality is also somewhat better here. read more

Wow! Jenny, you are my savior. I was visiting from NYC and she changed my "face life" literally!! I went from dull and damaged to bright and healthy- the microdermabrasion had a HUGE impact on the tone and removal of some of the sun discoloration, literally looks like she removed 5 layers of skin. I will be back in November because of this facial and continuing to commit to getting my face right with Jenny's help. I'm so grateful and bought the CBD line she created, It's EVERYTHING and I'm throwing away the chemicals (Rodan & Fields) AND the prices FOR PRODUCT AND SERVICES are way cheaper than NYC! I also bought my friend who lives here a gift certificate because all should know and a good friend shares! read more

First time and I loved the facial. They used all organic, clean products which is a major plus for me. The service was great and Christine was so helpful. She gave me a lot of pointers for my skin. I needed a facial bad, my skin needed a deep cleanse and lots of extractions. After my facial my skin was glowing instantly. My facial was $135, high but worth it because I saw the results. read more

I really loved my appointment with Shawna, she was very pleasant and my facial was fairly effective. After a recent hormonal breakout and the dreaded red spots left after, she was able to give my skin some of the clarity it had lost. It was clearly tailored to my skin and concerns rather than the standard routine facial and I really appreciate that. Definitely going again soon! read more

This place is such a GREAT find! I first visited Saving Faces with a coupon from LivingSocial and have been back 3 times since. The atmosphere is very soothing and helps me to relax. Shauna has been my esthetician each time and is fabulous. She takes the time to create a treatment that perfectly compliments your skin needs and doesn't just go through the motions. She really cares about helping your skin be the best it can be. It's safe to say that after years searching for a great place to get a facial my search has ended! read more

I've had a lot of facial treatments in the past (chemical peel, forma, microneedling) but this was my first facial. I had a great experience with Christine. She's very gentle and creates a relaxing environment. Her extractions were gentle but effective and my skin was glowing when I left. Can't wait to go back! Also she kept her masks on after the mask mandate ended in California and I found that very comforting! read more

I went to Saving Faces to see Tonia for deep tissue massage. She is absolutely stellar! She intuititvely knows exactly what your body needs and always checks in with you to see what you need, if pressure is OK, etc. etc. I always end up leaving 90 min sessions with her in a complete state of relaxation (almost a daze! - she's just so good). I'm sad to have moved away from the area because she has been the best massage therapist I ever had. If i could take her with me to Northern CA I probably would have. read more

About a month ago I called in and was lucky to get an appointment the same day! The receptionist was very nice and accommodating, and even gave me directions on how to get there (I'm new to the area). The salon is really nice and relaxing, very clean- and the service was great! Shawna gave me a playboy wax, and did a fantastic job! The staff is friendly, and the prices are amazing! I just booked my next appointment and am looking forward to going in! read more
