This review is long overdue! I started seeing Brittany for facials almost a year ago, and have seen consistent results in the texture and condition of my skin. Over the past year I saw her regularly for hydrofacials and dermaplaning. I recently just did my first biorepeel and was astounded at the results. Even my male coworkers were asking me what I had done to my skin because it had such great results. Also, Brittany has consistently recommended SPF and skincare products that met my concerns and budget, again leaving me with products that I felt actually improved my skin with noticeable results. Brittany is a warm and kind person who I feel like genuinely cares about her clients and their skincare goals. Anyone would be lucky to incorporate visits to her as part of their skincare routine! read more

Just wanted to update my review because Skin by Brittany is AMAZING! Had myself a much needed massage with @skinbybrittany__ today.  The past few weeks have been extremely stressful, and my body was begging me for a reset!  A little back story... I have always been extra sensitive when it came to physical touch. I could never get a massage because I was too ticklish and the feeling of knots on my body made me cringe! A few years ago,  I booked a massage with @skinbybrittany__ . She knew my situation and let me know that if at any point I started to feel uncomfortable,  we could stop.   She was the most gentle and most professional massage therapist I have ever encountered!   She literally took away my fear of massages (crazy enough, it really was a fear of mine). My body is thanking me right now, after my AMAZING massage with Brittany today.   I'm telling you... book your appointment with her now!  You won't regret it!   She's also responsible for my amazing skin!  She gives the best facials and I am loving my new skin care routine! Thank you so much, @skinbybrittany__ read more

What can I say about Brittany's service aside from phenomenal. She is a one stop shop for all your skin care and massage therapy needs. I have been going to her for over 10 years and have never been disappointed. Having acne issues? Go to Brittany! Your teen is having acne issues? Do them a favor, go to Brittany! You skin is feeling overly dry? You get the picture. Support local, small businesses, and do me a favor and don't be late to your appointment! read more

Loved my facial with Brittany!! She's incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, delightful to talk with, and my skin is still so much happier days later. Her office is clean, beautiful and calming. Can't wait to go back! read more

My eyebrows never look as perfect as after I see Brittany!! She's meticulous and I love her studio.

I love my time with Brittany! I see her for massages but she also does facials and carries Face Reality products which I've been using for decades (yes, decades!). She's knowledgeable about skin and acne as well as what my body needs when I explain what's ailing me, whether it's a 2-day headache or sore hamstring. I always leave feeling great in mind, body, and soul. Next time I'll get a photo of her peaceful space to add to read more

Brittany was very professional, hospitable, inviting. She gave me a great hydrating facial with lots of extractions and moisturizing. She also gave me a hand massage. Much needed. Will be back and will recommend her to my friends, family and clients. read more

My time with Brittany is always pure bliss. The relaxing atmosphere, combined with Brittany herself, makes me feel instantly at ease, and I enjoy every second while I'm there. My makeup tutorial with her was so enlightening--I finally know what to do with my face. read more

This updated review is looonnnggg over due!! I've been seeing Brittany for massages and facials since 2014. To see her growth in her career has been such an amazing thing to witness. I admire how Brittany is always learning new skills and keeping up with the latest technology out there. Her new location in Albany is a hidden little gem, very zen and relaxing. Brittany has always been consistently kind, considerate, and welcoming. Her expertise in body mechanics and anatomy, as well as her sharp intuition, always has me leaving a session feeling healed from all the aches and pains. Her facials are soooooooo relaxing. I've been hooked on one of her newest service, hydrofacials. It's been leaving my skin looking extra dewy with that touch of glow! She uses Dermalogica products, which my skin looovvveeesss!!! And even sells products for Skin Script and Face Reality. Her new location is bright and airy, filled with lots of beautiful plants. She is up to Covid protocols and has an air purifier that covers the whole space. She also checks my temperature each visit and keeps her mask on at all times. Parking is such a breeze on Solano Ave. But if going in for longer services (1.5hr - 2hr) I'd advise parking in residential on Carmel or Ramona Ave. The parking enforcement is on it in that neighborhood!! She's been super busy lately so her booking system on her website comes in very handy. She always keeps it updated with her services and prices. Very informative! Thanks Brittany for being the best therapist and for always being super kind and accommodating. Love seeing you blossom in your career! read more

See all

Went to Brittany for a Signature Facial a month or so ago and had an absolutely wonderful experience! It was easy to find her studio and parking was fairly easy. Very light and airy inside. She still wears a mask and does temperature checks, which is nice. She had water bottles and fruit and chocolate on this visit, which I thought was a nice touch! Brittany went over my skin history and was very clear and informative as to what was being done during each step of the facial. She even checked in with me a week or two later to see how my skin was doing. Will definitely be going back! read more

I have had two absolutely wonderful experiences with Brittany this month. I decided to indulge myself with personal services during my vacation--and boy, was I indulged! The first service was an hour long massage, and I was impressed by Brittany's ability to seek out those annoying, pesky knots, and massage them into softness, while giving me both a firm and soothing whole body treatment. I left feeling extremely relaxed. The only thing I regretted is that I hadn't booked a 90 minute session. I wanted more! Then, the following week, I decided to indulge in the Celebrity Hydrofacial. I added foot reflexology to that, and I am so glad I did. The facial revitalized my skin--the following day a friend asked if I were in love, and told me she wondered because my skin was glowing. Really! And then the foot reflexology relaxed me to the point that I fell into a brief slumber--twice. I knew I had fallen asleep because I awakened myself with the most unladylike snort!! I was was so relaxed I was almost in an altered state. I have very sensitive skin and past facials with other estheticians--even in medical settings--have sometimes left me red or blemished, but Brittany's choice of product, her skills and knowledge are so good this facial caused no issues, leaving my skin exceptionally dewy and clear. Brittany has a wonderful touch, uses top quality products, is a talented and knowledgable practitioner, and, to top it off, she is a lovely woman. I highly recommend a visit with her to revitalize you. You deserve it! read more

Treated myself to a celebrity hydrafacial and the whole experience was lovely. I learned a lot from Brittany and felt very pampered. Thanks so much Brittany, this was a nice gift to myself on a dreary day! read more

So happy to have found Skin by Brittany, and have been telling everyone I know to treat themselves to an appointment. Brittany is so skilled, knowledgeable, generous, and gentle. She is also just a delight to be around! I had some stubborn milia that weren't going anywhere, and it's been impossible to get an appointment with a dermatologist. A friend recommended I try an esthetician instead, and I was lucky to find Brittany by word of mouth. She explained to me how milia form, how they can be removed, and she set expectations that depending on how my skin responded, she may or may not be able to remove them. With her sure and steady hands though, she fixed everything and gave me a soothing facial afterwards. So happy to have met Brittany, and am looking forward to going back in the future! read more

I am hooked! Went to Brittany for my very first ever facial..... on my back! I'm not gonna lie but the cold winter and me having to wear so many layers every day did some damage to my back in terms of break outs and scarring. (This is kind of embarrassing to say, haha). Brittany really did a great job in making me feel comfortable for my very first treatment of any sort. She even pointed out that there were tension spots on my back and massaged it out for me! You can really tell that she cares about her clients and wants them to just feel their best! I am definitely going to try her out facials and her others services and I am excited to continue going to her to see the progress her services make on my skin! It felt like such a safe and clean space. Also, I learned a lot from her.... just mention your concern and she is super knowledgeable and can offer all sorts of advice! For example, I tend to lean toward clean skincare products and natural methods. She would recommend, for example, taking zinc vitamins or getting zinc from such and such sources, saying it's good for the skin, inflammation, and etc. There's plenty of parking on the neighborhood side street and the location is easy to find. Treat yourself- grab a facial and then grab some wine and dinner on Solano ave ! read more

I had a wonderful waxing experience with Brittany! She is kind, efficient, thoughtful, and lovely to talk to, and made the experience as painless and pleasant as possible. I look forward to coming back in the future! read more

I just received my first service from Skin By Brittany and it definitely will not be my last. She offers a wide variety of services but today I chose to get a massage. It's been a struggle trying to find a masseuse who not only is affordable but who also LISTENS and caters to their client. Upon arrival, Brittany asked me where my problem areas were and where I would like her to focus on, which is pretty common with every massage I've had. Only difference is, she actually focused on my problematic areas. When she noticed one area needed more attention, she applied the right amount of pressure. Once we got started, I didn't even have to tell her where my pain was, she knew exactly where to go. I could tell she wasn't following a regular routine, she did what worked for me. I feel like a brand new person now that she's relieved all the tension I've been holding in my shoulders. I also appreciated the fact that she asked me if I had any allergies to any of the oils she was going to use. I've never had a masseuse who was considerate enough to ask first. When I told her I've never been asked that question before, she simply told me she likes to ask her clients and explained she has different alternatives for all skin types. After my massage she also gave me tips on my skin care routine. Her knowledge and professionalism was very impressive. Not only did she provide an excellent service, her studio was very peaceful. From the beautiful aromas when you first walk in, to the beautiful and earthy decor, to the calming music she played in the background. Her office was very clean and covid friendly. She had my temperature taken and reassured me everything was sanitized. The extra measures she took in maintaining a safe place during this crazy covid era just validated that I put my trust in the right person. This place is an absolute gem. I highly recommend Skin By Brittany. You do not want to miss out! I am so excited to become a regular. read more

My mom and I got facials by brittany and they were honestly so amazing!! highly recommend- the studio atmosphere is super relaxing & I left feeling refreshed. my skin was glowing & dewy for days!! Brittany really knows her stuff and will take care of you and your skin. definitely get a facial here! read more

I went to see Brittany for my first ever facial last week. I wasn't sure what to expect, but my skin is smoother, toned, more even, softer, and glowing. I haven't felt like I needed makeup at all in the days since my appointment. I did the hour-long facial which consisted of a surprising amount of work: deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation, extractions, masquing, moisturizing, aromatherapy, massage, and some time under a lamp (that has various settings depending on your concerns). Her space is cute, clean, and serene. I really appreciate how knowledgeable Brittany is about skin, the chemical makeup of all types of products (even the drug-store kinds I use, not just the top quality stuff she uses), and how to use the right ingredients to address your skin's changing needs. Go to Skin By Brittany if you want to truly look your best. read more

Brittany is very professional, kind and attentive. I needed a same day facial after not doing one for over a year because of the pandemic and I found her business. It's very easy to get to and her place of business is very well-kept and clean. You can instantly see how clean, sanitary and careful Brittany is. This is important pre-pandemic and even more vital now. She wears both a mask and a face shield which I appreciate. Brittany is also extremely kind and makes you feel like you are at a spa. Her business environment is very calming and it's just overall soothing. I've had a full facial, back treatment and soon massage. I keep going back because her work is worth it. Try her and support a small business, you will be very pleased and relaxed. read more

Brittany is the absolute BEST! She is knowledgeable, kind, and carries the best high quality products. I feel lucky to have her in our neighborhood. 10/10 highly recommend! read more

Brittany is one of the most personable and caring people I know; on top of that, she is an incredible masseuse and facial therapist. My partner and I have been using her services regularly (twice a month) for more than a year. After years of searching, we now look no further. Highly recommended. read more

Brittany was our makeup artist for my wedding, and did makeup for me, my mom and my bridesmaids. She did an AMAZING job. First of all -- she did a trial at our house and was very flexible in understanding what look I was going for. On the day itself, she did a phenomenal job. Everyone was wowed by how wonderfully natural and beautiful the makeup was, which was what we were hoping for. All my bridesmaids have different skin types and colours and everyone loved it. She is clearly extremely knowledgeable in makeup and matching tones to skin. One of my friends who had declined makeup services said she had done so because usually wedding makeup is so thick and can look fake, but regretted not getting it done with Brittany because it looked so good. Would highly, highly recommend her for anyone looking for makeup at home. On top of it all, Brittany is just a wonderful person to be around! read more

I have been going to Brittany for 14 months now, and would not trust anyone else with my brows. She also does amazing work when doing lip/arm/face wax. She's always on time, pays attention to detail, and never rushes through an appointment. As far as the location goes there's a parking lot right out front for customers, and she keeps a very tidy and relaxing work space. I always look forward to going in to tidy up my brows and Never leave unhappy. Thank you, Brittany, for being such a wonderful, charismatic, and skilled esthetician! read more

Brittany is an amazing masseuse. She's so knowledgeable about the human body, which I think helps her hone in on areas that are tense that I didn't even know were part of my back problems. Definitely very therapeutic. So glad to have found her. read more

Wow.... Brittany is so skilled in such a wide variety of makeup styles... I had never had makeup done before and I was worried that I would turn into some generic Stepford wife. Not so! Brittany was able to create a look for me that was glamorous but still reflected my personality. On a side note, I like how she describes what she is doing... it helped me start to learn the craft... Thumbs up for Skin By Brittany!!! read more

I had the most amazing facial by Brittany! My skin has never looked better. Brittany is super knowledgeable about all things skin and is so friendly. I will definitely be coming back! read more

I've been seeing Brittany regularly for several years and my skin really looks youthful and great (and I'm approaching 60)! I could feel the difference during the pandemic when I couldn't see her, and now that we're back she's made such a quick improvement to my skin. I appreciate how she keeps her office clean and sanitary, she educates me about any skin questions I'm curious about, she's kind, and she's is a glowing example of her own beautiful work. I am so happy that I found her! read more

Today I finally had my first facial and I don't think it could have been any better! Brittany was very welcoming and clearly knowledgable. She explained everything she was doing, why, and why it was good for me in particular. It was very calming and my skin feels better already. Brittany also gives you tips on what you can do on your own to better your skin and mentions products she is using on you without trying to "push" them on you at all. I did inquire on my own on one of the products, a fabulous moisturizer. I will definitely being going back to Brittany. There is a small parking lot which fills fast, but I was able to get a meter spot right outside without a problem. By the time I left, around 1, parking looked a little trickier. read more

I went to Brittany for a 90 minute facial. She did a wonderful job of finding out the history of my skin and my current needs. She was able to explain everything she was doing with me and she use extra caution because of my sensitive skin. I would definitely go to her again and would recommend her to friends. read more

Brittany is amazing. She gave me the best facial I've ever had. She is knowledgeable about skin, and explained what she would be doing and why. The facial was gentle and soothing enough that I actually fell asleep for a few seconds, yet after it was done, my skin looked amazing. I highly recommend going to her for your skincare. read more

I have "problem" skin: easily reactive to products, environment, stress (everything). I have had facials before to help alleviate these issues, so I feel confident in knowing a job well done. Brittany does that job! She is amazing! My skin was glowing and soft/smooth after one visit. Best part: she is a trained massage therapist, so while you wait with the mask, you get a nice and relaxing neck, shoulder and arm massage. Another best part: she performed extraction and I was left with no redness or inflammation (I had never experienced that with any other facial). I highly recommend this skilled woman!!! read more

I have had a few facials in my life, and many massages, so I know a bit about the experience. Brittany was amazing! She was lovely and gracious and her touch was really quite mesmerizing. I actually felt like I had been taken away to a different place when she was finished. I can highly recommend her professional and yet gentle service that was executed with a glowing and authentic smile. read more
