Botched microcurrent facial - DO NOT GET MICROCURRENT HERE - they use chemical peel before…read moremicrocurrent, permanently eating away healthy facial fat tissue, recessing the face. I waited a couple months to see how my face would recover. Microcurrent is supposed to be "non-permanent" noninvasive lifting effect. This person permanently changed my face shape, shortened my chin and jawline in an unflattering way, my face is significantly smaller in length/width/volume, it's unnatural and asymmetrical. I deeply regret being under this esthetician's hands. After research, a chemical peel should NOT be used with microcurrent technology, they are contraindicated unless at least 2 weeks apart and I don't know why this person puts them together with this "Uplift facial" which includes chemical peel before microcurrent. The chemicals are pushed into the skin tissue further with the microcurrent, eating away at healthy facial tissue and causing major volume loss. The areas where my jaw and neck attach look so weird, there is so much missing. (They replied claiming it's a "superficial" peel but peel they used removed my freckles and pigmentation, which is obviously chemical) The experience has been very traumatic. I don't really write reviews on Yelp but wanted to warn anyone looking for microcurrent to just go to a med spa or facility that does them more regularly, don't go through what I'm going through...

The first masseuse had a very pointy and painful touch. And she could tell I was uncomfortable so…read moreshe offered to switch to another masseuse for me. The second person was definitely better and I think she was fairly thorough. But it still was an uncomfortable, loud experience. They do the Chinese deep tissue style with gua shua so you may get bruises afterwards. The price is $70 (cash) and not $45 (outdated website). I would rather pay more and get a more relaxing experience elsewhere. I tipped 20% bc they're very aggressive about tips but I wouldn't come back. Pros: Friendly staff Convenient location They do get the knots out Cons: Filthy bathroom They leave the room several times during the session They take multiple calls during the session Very loud and chaotic environment Therapist talks a lot to you during massage so it's hard to relax

There was a lot to see along the way. We did the couples massage so we could be in the same room. It was very relaxing and left feeling brand new. We had a male and female massage therapist. Evan was the male and he was great. I opted for the hot stones and my friend chose the scraping. We were both very happy with the services. It is a hidden gem and you'll miss it if you aren't looking. It's up stairs between two stores. Everyone was friendly and welcoming and I feel like for the price we paid it was worth it. We might end our trip with another massage.

She then gave me a very detailed facial extraction and a rejuvenating facial before sending me back to SF. After a few months back, I started looking for an esthetician per my aunt's urging and found Bandana at B-Beautiful. Her salon is very unassuming and located on the border of Chinatown. I really enjoyed my facial here with Bandana. She's lovely and professional. My facial visits here are soothing, relaxing and my face looks great after each visit. I currently do the 60 minutes personalized treatment and I try to do this every few months to keep up tho I think I may need it more often. Her rates are very reasonable for San Francisco. From $60 for 30 minutes of power resurfacing peel to $135 for a Nanofusion facial. Prices may vary due to customization and inflation adjustments as I am referring to her price list from 2024. Located on Powell and Clay. Right by the cable car line.

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!

I looked around for the best place in the city to get microblading and found Veo! She was a makeup…read moreartist for many years which is why she's perfect for shaping brows. We had a consultation where we tried colors and had her draw in what the shape would be. Once she knew what I wanted we scheduled the service (which includes a retouch 4 weeks after).

I'm so in love with my new brows by Veo! Btw she gives wonderfully thorough facials with tons of facial manipulation, microdermabrasion extractions, high frequency, and microcurrent.

I've been acquainted with Glow the yoga studio for several years, but I only recently discovered…read moreGlow the spa. While Glow is not a full service day spa, the treatments (facials and massages) are high quality and reasonably priced. All of my experiences have been positive, but I have particularly enjoyed my facials with Lisa. She is friendly, skilled and honest (she lets me know when she thinks I won't benefit from a particular add-on service). My skin has become healthier since I started getting regular facials from Lisa at Glow (I typically get the microdermabrasion facIals, but I've also gotten chemical peels).
