The space is bright, more like a lab feel than a spa. This was my first time here and my first Microdermabrasion. Megan did my facial and she did a wonderful job. She was prompt, thorough and informative. Her professionalism and service level were superb. We started off with a consultation to discuss the process and my specific needs. From there she mixed up a custom serum and massaged it over my face and neck. She then used a diamond Microdermabrasion pen. We finished up with a 10 minute LED light treatment. You have 3 different light options (red, blue and green).

Upon arrival, my fabulous esthetician Kristin, customized my facial according to my skin's needs. Not only was she enjoyable to chat with, but also extremely knowledgeable about product ingredients and skin-types. I left relaxed with my skin hydrated, smooth and glowing! I was so relaxed I forgot my complimentary and customized skin serum (which the owner personally curated!), so the wonderful owner was kind enough to send it to me via snailmail. Very thoughtful, detail oriented, and excellent customer service! I will definitely be back in the future to see Kristin for another facial!!

Nicole is a phenomenal skin care specialist and expert. I have been her client for several years…read morenow and she has consistently been brilliant. She carries high quality and exclusive products that are priced very reasonably. Her services are thorough and I leave her salon with glowing skin each time. I strongly recommend first time visitors who want to try to get professional skin care, because she is patient and spends a lot of time going over one's concerns and history before recommending treatments that are tailored to one's needs.

She's super friendly and nice, and the easy-going conversations with her make it easier to not focus on the waxing part, lol.

She made me feel super comfortable given the newness of the whole skin care world for me, she totally took care of my mid life forehead break out, and best of all, she's really interesting to talk to. I imagine she's awesome at all of the other treatments she offers & I highly recommend checking her out. Jen rocks!

Her technique, attention to detail, and calming energy made the entire experience feel like a mini vacation. My skin has never looked or felt better--glowy, hydrated, and refreshed. She also came up with a personalized new skincare regimen that's exactly what my skin needed. Beyond her incredible skill, Angelina is such a pleasure to be around--warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. I can't wait to come back!

Carol is amazingggggg and she (along with the products that she has recommended) have done wonders…read morefor my skin. I originally went based on a referral from a friend (who was referred by her friend) because I had been suffering from breakouts for the first time in over a decade (I'm in my mid-30s.) I had spent a fortune on products and facials and laser treatments and nothing was working. I have now been seeing Carol for just over a year and I can honestly say that my skin has never looked or felt better. Since I have been seeing Carol, following her recommendations and using the products, my skin has looked increasingly healthier. Carol is incredible with problematic (acne-prone) skin but once she gets your skin clear, she works wonders on anti-aging and keeping skin radiant. She is the REAL DEAL. She never tries to push product on me...but I buy everything that she recommends because the products WORK!!! Also, I have had several friends ask me for a recommendation for a great esthetician and have referred them to Carol because she is simply WONDERFUL. She always takes her time and I never feel rushed. (Basically, I always get a customized facial that is super thorough.) I look forward to seeing her and each time I walk out of Crescent Moon, I only have on some sunscreen to protect my glowing skin. (Never need any makeup/baseball cap/ginormous sunglasses to hide behind.) Thank you, Carol!!!

Not knowing whether it was due to stress, to hormones, to genetics, to diet, to the fact that I'm in my 30s and needed some acid peels in my life - I wanted to find a great esthetician to help figure out what was going on with my face. In searching for one close to where I live/work, Yelp led me to Carol Ruggieri's space at Crescent Moon Skincare. I placed a phone call, left a message and within a day or so got a call back from Carol inviting me to stop in for a chat/free consultation to talk about my concerns and to let me know what methods of treatments she offered. Carol is that friend who tells it like it is. No sugar coating, she's thorough and lays out everything on the table so there are no surprises. In a word, refreshing. Meeting her and putting my skin into her hands has been one of the best decisions I've made this year. My skin overhaul consisted of a specific regimen of products purchased through Carol (surprisingly inexpensive compared to the arsenal I currently owned), which I diligently used morning and night everyday. Then I'd return every two weeks for follow up skin assessments - involved a personalized facial and low level acid peels in my case - and each time my skin would get better and clearer. It only took two months to get my skin back on track. People look at me now and they don't believe I ever had skin issues. I'm writing this review and including before and after photos as a testament to Carol's magic and that I owe my newfound confidence to her. It made me a little sad during today's visit when Carol said I wouldn't need to see her as often anymore. That I could go for 8 weeks or beyond for a follow up. I'm still going to use the products she carries because they're amazing and I'm definitely going to refer everyone I know who are acne prone and needing some skin TLC to Carol. She is a lifesaver. I'm a fan and friend for life. Thank you Carol Ruggieri for making me feel beautiful again!

This is a long overdue post…read more Denise is AMAZING!! I didn't really know what to expect after reading the reviews on Hall of Faces. Some say it's in her basement, some say it's really comfy and homey. I wasn't really sure how it was going to all turn out. It was my very first body wrap and I was a bit uneasy about it. Sure, my curiousity got the best of me & I jumped at the chance of trying it out when Buy with me had a deal going on. But after I bought it, I was a bit nervous as to what I should expect. On the day of my appointment, I ended up bringing a magazine with me because I wasn't sure what the standard procedures were--i thought she was going to wrap me up and leave me alone for a good 45 minutes before coming back to check up on me. Once I arrived at the location, I was a little confused as to where the entrance was. However, I did remember reading somewhere that the entrance is around the side. To get to the front of the door, you need to walk to the "back" of the building (you don't need to go up the stairs). You'll see a sign that says Hall of faces & a doorbell. I was really impressed with the setup! By the sounds of what I read on the reviews (mainly the "it's in her basement") I did not expect a nice a garden area and AMAZINGLY decorated room. THe second I walked in, Denise was really welcoming & immediately offed me some antioxidants (grapes & blueberries) as well as some tea. Then she proceeded with a foot soak/scrub before sending me off to the bathroom to change into a robe. She then proceeded in wrapping me up like a mummy and tucking me under some mylar blankets. All the while i was under the blankets, she did a mini facial for me! After everything I left feeling refreshed and with soft skin!! Denise is amazing and I highly recommend her!

Hi Denise! I'm a…read morefan of Hall of Faces for 2 reasons; this is an example of a private local Woman owned business in San Francisco, and #2 the Hayes Valley ~ Haight Street area is one of my favorite neighborhoods to visit. I had a double appointment with a friend of mine, in which we were seen back to back. If we had requested both of us to be seen at the same time, we were told that 2 massage tables could be set up. We both opted for a Body Wrap through a "Buy with Me" deal. This was our first body wrap, so we had no idea what to except. A visit with a good friend is how I would describe my experience with Denise. Denise is polite and you can talk to her about any topic and feel comfortable. As a medical esthetician, you can ask Denise medical questions and know you'll be met with professional answers. I enjoyed the fact that this business is ran from the home, with a beautiful garden and personalized decor. I like real people, and real conversation while having my beauty treatments ~ so I'm a fan. Thanks for the Tea.
