This review is long overdue! Liza is amazing! A gifted esthetician who has worked closely with…read morenotable dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons in SF, she has years of experience working with clients helping them improve the health/appearance of their skin. Liza knows the right combination of moisturizer, serum, glycolic acid (and sunscreen, always) that will nourish/protect your skin. Her advice for healthier skin is always straight forward, never complicated and she never tries to force you to purchase unnecessary products/treatments. And speaking of treatments she knows which ones, from chemical peels to LED Therapy to microcurrent facial toning, that will best support the health of your skin. I started seeing Liza at her original location in SF back in 2015 and when she moved to San Anselmo I initially wasn't sure if I would be able to continue to see her because its a bit of a drive from where I live. But now I cannot imagine not seeing her for my regular facials! The 30-40 minute drive is so worth it! The facials are a treat but in reality they have been an investment in the health of my skin. Liza has transformed my skin from dull and hyper-pigmented to smooth and glowing. In addition to her expertise as an esthetician she is also one of the kindest people I know ... she is smart, generous and has a great sense of humor. Her comfortable studio provides the perfect setting for a facial ( or any one of her other treatments), allowing you to decompress/relax while she works her magic on your skin. Do your skin a favor and book an appointment with Liza, you won't regret it!

I got a Brazilian wax and the person I had was with Michelle, she was so GOOD! Friendly, sweet, knowledgeable and very professional. I had bad experiences in the past and with bad waxers. That's leaves me not wanting to get my wax done. But being there at Gloss Beauty especially Michelle made the entire process smooth. I love the after effect that my skin was so smooth and it didn't leave any bumps or marks. Definitely coming back to see Michelle again!! Overall the entire place was ultra clean and airy, the decor was stunning and bright! I feel like I'm on a vacation oasis getting a spa treatment. I absolutely love the energy and vibe being there.

Nothing disappoints me more than feeling like my extractions weren't fully addressed but I've never felt that way with Michelle's facials. She is also unofficially dubbed the "Brow Queen" in my book. Gloss Beauty is exactly that. Sleek, clean, beautifully curated retail products with a chic atmosphere. I lovee the cockatoo wallpaper behind the front desk. The treatment rooms itself are well furnished with plush rugs, soft fluffy blankets and table beds. I recommended my best friend to Michelle a few months ago and we've been competing for appointment slots ever since lol.

It's a gorgeous place and the staff go out of their way to serve you. But I found the mandatory…read moreconsultation to be more about pushing their services; I had asked for a signature facial ($300), which is billed for all skin types, but was told that I had to do the free consultation to make sure they didn't use any inappropriate products or procedures. Then I was told my skin was " dehydrated" and offered two anti-aging treatments for $550 and $450. I wasn't even given the option of the facial. The aesthetician, when doing extractions, didn't bother to check my chin for clogged pores, and there are multitudes there! I found her answers to my questions, like how long does the post-needling pain last, cagey and evasive, eg. it depends! (When I said "what's the longest it has ever lasted," she said, "it depends!") Her manner was distracted and careless. The massage was one of the clunkiest I've ever gotten. I kept asking the masseuse to slow down but she didn't seem to know how to; she just went lighter but kept up the frantic pace, bumping into me the whole time. Not a relaxing experience. I'd suggest sensitive clients look elsewhere.

I really appreciated how knowledgeable she is about rosacea and how she takes a truly holistic approach. Her facials feel like a full, nourishing experience rather than just a facial. Highly recommend.
