First time getting a facial and let me say that the bar has been raised! Kristian fit me in her schedule within days of contacting her. Pros: extremely professional and clean, super friendly, she explains everything she is doing and the benefits it will provide to your skin.

First time here but Kristian made me feel like we've known each other for a long time. The place is CLEAN. What I loved: *she told me what type of facial she will give me *every time she was going to put something on or take something off my face, she will explain what she is doing and why *that facial massage- for reals hands down the best *my skin felt amazing and looked it as well. I will be going back to her! And will be recommending her to family and friends! Thanks soo much Kristian! You're not kidding about the after glow! read more

Kristian is incredibly energetic and it's the best experience! She really knows how stuff, especially when it comes to darker skin tones. I feel so comfortable here and know that the variety of products she offers not only during the appointment but for long term care are for the best. She is very in tune with what effects her clients and is super flexible when it comes to schedules. She also works great with younger adults as I have also brought my 14 year old niece in to start her skincare journey! Pleas check her out as it will be a great decision! read more

Skin Care By Kristian - Back on that skin care journey y'all! - Waxing Near Me - Riverside, California

Ok so Kristian is an absolute beautiful gem! I've been following her very educational & fun instagram page for months now and I finally had my first facial done by her today! Only the Lord knows why my skin is trippen nowadays, but I now have acne prone skin that has left me with dark marks! I have a wedding to attend in exactly two weeks & I called Kristian to see if she could basically perform a miracle. She suggested a pumpkin peel, in which I've never had a peel done before, but she explained the process and made me feel at ease. The peel stung a bit, but that was to be expected. Honestly, I could care less that it stung, because I'm just too anxious for the results! I can't wait for my next facial, as we talked about how we're going to get my skin back on track. Kristian even checked on me this evening to see how my skin was doing. Talk about going above & beyond!! If you have ANY skin concerns, give her a call. She will educate you on your specific needs & concerns. read more

Skin Care By Kristian - Foundation where?!? Kristian is my aesthetician Bestie!! - Waxing Near Me - Riverside, California

I just got my first facial by Kristian and she went above and beyond all of my past experiences. She's very knowledgeable with sensitive, acne prone skin. Had great tips and tricks as well! She spoiled my skin and I can't trust anyone else with it anymore. Kristian, you were so amazing and funny too! Thank you for everything!! read more

Skin Care By Kristian - Waxing Near Me - Riverside, California

I came to Kristian confused, lost, and uneducated about skincare overall. After receiving my first facial from her, I am so excited to learn more and continue my journey towards healthy, beautiful, and GLOWING skin! Disclaimer: I can be extremely judgmental and skeptical at times, especially when it comes to the visual aesthetic of salons and likes thereof. Because this adventure involved my skin, I was on my toes more than usual. To be blunt, upon arriving, the location didn't come off very appealing to me. I judged everything upon walking up to the office door. But let me just say that Kristian immediately made me feel right at home and none of that mattered to me anymore! I should also add that she just moved to this new space so I can't wait to see what she does with it! The reviews before mine that say that Kristian is your personal hype woman is so-damn-true. Having REAL conversations about your insecurities without the feeling of underlying judgment can be hard to come by (for me at least). Off the get-go, Kristian made the space feel incredibly safe. She asked me all the right questions and patiently listened to all of my concerns regarding my blackheads, pores, and sun spots before giving me her valuable feedback. After our consultation, I was so ready to do the damn thing! Kristian recommended the pumpkin peel facial for my first time! We did that, followed by a hydrating lychee mask, and then wrapped things up with high frequency and some spf/serums! On top of all that, she even recommended products for me to incorporate into my home skincare! I know the road to #skingoals is going to take a minute, but I already can't wait to book my next appointment in a few weeks! Thank you so much for the love, Kristian! I appreciate you! ***photos by @skincarebykristian*** read more

Kristian's facials are absolutely amazing. She tries to get you as comfortable as possible. Relaxes you, and tells you everything she's doing. Her facials REALLY made a HUGE difference in my acne prone skin. There was things she told me about my skin that I didn't even know of, and she gave me advice on my skin care routine... and my skin has never been this way before. She is hands down the best facial-ist I've ever had every other person I've had facials from, all they care about is money, and they just finish their job terribly. Kristian on the other hand is super caring, actually gives you good advice on skin, and makes your skin GLOW. her facials are WORTH your money. You've got to give her a try. read more

Skin Care By Kristian - I got the Acne facial and let me tell you, it was AMAZING Kristian knows what she's doing. My skin's rejuvenated even after first facial - Waxing Near Me - Riverside, California

First of all, I am not one to ever leave a negative review but this has to be put out there. Skincare by Kristian owned by Kristian Wishom seemed at first to be a decent establishment to get your facial needs done. I had 2 facials with her on 7/13 which I paid a $35 deposit fee on 7/9 and was charged $130 for a regular facial which was fine and good with me. 2 weeks later I asked what's our next step as I was moving to another state. So she said we should have another facial and order my new skincare routine. She kept rescheduling which is fine with me even if it was a red flag for unprofessionalism and no sense of commitment. We finally had a schedule on 7/27 which went ok like the first one. Then after which, she said that I need a new skin care routine which she said so many products for that she needs to order online and over all, had me pay $344 ($144 for the facial, 200 for the skincare routine) I kept sending communications with her as to when I can have my orders worth $200 and she kept giving me several excuses, no reply, promises. Overall these are the dates, I tried patiently to ask where the said items are: Aug 2, 4, 5 , 6, 12, 13, 16, 17, 20, 23, 24, 27, 29, 30, 31, Sept 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. I finally received my items on 9/15 which are to my disappointment only 5 items and well not worth $200 at all when you look them up online. The worst part is, she sent me unsealed, open and used items. I know that $200 is such a small amount but if she was negligent and unprofessional with me, how many more clients did she do this to? She is a pathological liar and can not be trusted. Please take your business somewhere else. read more

Skin Care By Kristian - Waxing Near Me - Riverside, California

These reviews don't lie. Kristian is FANTASTIC. From the moment you walk in, her customer service is out of this world. She is authentic, charismatic, informative, and thoughtful. My boyfriend and I went for custom facials, and came out with new skin. Let me just say, my boyfriend was not excited to know I scheduled him for a facial, but after seeing results with Kristian, he can't wait for his next appointment. She definitely tailors the experience to your skin's needs. And the JELLY HYDRO MASK is AHHHHMAZING. From beginning to end, she gives you details about your facial. She makes sure you know the condition of your skin, what she's using on it, and even picks out the appropriate products for you to purchase to keep your skin VIBRANT. I was using products that were too harsh for my skin type. With her recommendations, my skin is still glowing 14 days after my treatment. CHOOSE KRISTIAN to handle your skin. You won't regret it. Can't wait to try dermaplanning with her soon! Yayyyyyy! read more

Kristian is the sweetest, most down to earth person yet very knowledgeable and professional. She made me feel 100% comfortable and confident in my treatment. I was in relaxation mode during my facial and honestly didn't want it to end! We went over my current skincare routine, what I should change and products that she recommends (which were at a much more affordable price that what you find at Sephora, etc) It's day two since my facial and my skin is clearer and firmer and more glowing...results don't lie! Will definitely be booking another service soon. read more

She'll also go over all the products you currently use & answer any questions you might have about them. There's a reason why she has plenty of good Yelp reviews!

Amazing work, even after one session with Kristian I saw results immediately the next morning! I have acne prone skin and acne scars, my biggest concerns, but she goes beyond treating what your concerned about. I LOVE how she explains each step and educates you on what each process does to your skin. She is very easy to talk to and even gives you a massage!!! I was talking to her & legit stopped & forgot what I was saying when she started massaging my neck and shoulders....AMAZING! I had a growing, painful pimple coming in & she zapped it away. I woke up the next morning & my man was even like "Woah, you're face clear up over night." I can't wait for my next appointment. I can finally be happy with my skin! read more

I decided to schedule an appointment with Kristian after all the reviews I read on here, and let me just say - they are accurate! She is amaaazing!

I have had facials before in the past, but nothing like this.. it truly is customized. She is reasonably priced her space is clean. She is so sweet and funny- makes the experience so pleasurable: the one hour facial flew by! My face was glowing I definitely recommend Kristian! read more

I found Kristian through a referral on Instagram. I was so happy to find an esthetician who knows how to treat women of color. When I got there, I immediately felt welcome and the environment was so relaxing. I've been hesitant to get a facial done because my skin is so sensitive. Since this was my first facial in years, she took them time to make sure we didn't jump into anything too drastic the first time. I had a pumpkin enzyme peel, extractions, and a white tea jelly mask. My skin feels like a million dollars. The texture of my skin is smooth and silk and glowing. I highly recommend getting a facial done by Kristian. She is so freaking amazing! read more

I was looking for some acne care for my son who just turned 18. After reading the yelp reviews I'm glad I brought him here. She explained everything in detail to him, provided great skin care for home and recommended products so he can continue his care at college. Kristian was very friendly and professional. My son had some hesitation on coming to a spa and never had any type of beauty service done on him but he was very pleased with his overall care. His skin did look cleaner, brighter. I know it will take some time but looking forward to his better skin. read more

Just took my mom to get a facial, Kristian took such great care of her & was super accommodating with our hectic schedule. Will have to get a facial myself! Thanks Kristian read more

To be honest, I never really cared for facials until I decided to book with Kristian. Humble brag.. I've always had nice skin, so originally I booked an appointment because my boyfriend was in search for acne treatment. We booked two appointments back to back (regular facial and acne facial) and it was the best two hours. My boyfriend is currently struggling with adult acne and was pretty hesitant initially, but he was completely stoked by the end of it all - we left glowing! We started off by bringing our skincare products, and Kristian was immediately able to single out products that should be avoided or just isn't right for your specific skin type. During the facial, Kristian will explain every process and will take the time to answer any and all questions while recommending products along the way. Can't wait for our next appointment :) read more

Kristian is the best. She's so gentle and welcoming! Came in with my bridal party, and came out looking flawless. Enjoyed my first facial ever! She did the enzyme, nourishing lychee mask, extractions, and much more. Can't wait to come back again! Her pricing is so affordable, and she is so professional. Loved loved loved my experience! read more

Soooo I was looking for a skin care place that would help with my acne but was sort of hesitant because I've never had one before and I came across Skin Care by Kristian and OMG let me tell y'all, it exceeded my expectations. She is so nice and truly cares about her clients, she gave me tips and skin care recommendations that I could buy that would help with my acne (Oily/Combo skin). My face felt so fresh and clean; plus the facial massage is so relaxing. If you've never had a facial or looking to see other options I would 1000% recommend coming here. I made sure to book my second appointment :) read more

Kristian is very knowledgeable and she always has such positive energy! She is very accommodating to my busy schedule and is always able to schedule me with short notice. My main concern is hyperpigmentation from previous breakouts and after three treatments the dark spots are fading and I can see an improvement in the overall texture of my skin. Her facials are reasonably priced as well. She answers all of my skincare questions and always recommends affordable products. I would absolutely recommend Kristian for any acne/hyperpigmentation facial needs! read more

Kristian is AMAZING! She made me feel welcomed before I even walked in ( I was lost, she saw me and greeted me lol). I called to make an appointment and was able to get in the following day for my crazy Acne. Just like the reviews mentioned, she explained the process throughly before and during the session and very knowledgeable, and even asked me on what was my music preference to make me feel at ease during the session. Her personality is awesome and she is really funny. Hands down the greatest customer service I have ever received. I can go on and on about how great the service but I won't know when to stop. Thanks again Kristian! read more

Kristian is so kind and outgoing! I was very excited to get a facial by her. She is very knowledgeable on skin care and skin types and tries to find the best option for her clients. I received a pumpkin facial and it is probably one of my favorites now. It helped with acne, scarring, and rough texture. I also received a charcoal mask and LED light for acne. Kristian definitely knew exactly what my skin needed. She went over my at home products with me and gave her professional insight as to what she thought would help better! Wow!!!

Loved my facial today. She was able to schedule me within a few days. The massage was so relaxing and the smells of everything was good. I loved the jelly facial thing that covers your eyes and lips.

My experience with skin by Kristian was great! I'm a woman in her mid-20's who unfortunately suffers from adult acne. I was desperate to start treatment with my skin so I searched up highly-rated facialists near me. I came across Kristian and inquired about a facial and she responded almost immediately. I booked my acne facial for the very next day. Kristian is kind, funny and energetic. She walked me through the steps of the facial and the reasons for the masks and procedures being applied. She listened to my skin care routine and my questions and concerns and answered me with insightful suggestions. I left the building with a clean face and a vibrant glow. Later in the evening that same day I had an event to attend and my skin looked almost flawless after my makeup application. I've already booked a second appointment and can't wait to see the long-term results in due time. *One important thing to note is pay options. Kristian does not accept the payment form of atm cards so make sure you have cash readily on hand or you are Venmo/Cash App friendly. read more

I've been waiting to leave a review after getting an acne facial because I wanted to see if I would get true results- and I definitely did! I haven't gotten a single pimple or breakout ever since I went to her (a month ago) and I've been using the products she recommended to me. She's super nice and energetic, and she gives you a rundown of what to use and what not to use on your face. My face has been super clear ever since, my confidence has boosted up, and people notice!!! I can't wait to get another facial by her :) read more

I'm so glad that I found Kristian she is amazing! I really enjoyed my facial, it was very relaxing and she is so nice and easy to talk to. I have mild acne and dry skin, she asked what products I was currently using and recommended me some new ones I can use in my routine to get my acne under control! Her techniques were great I enjoyed the LED light treatment, aromatherapy and high frequency that was included in the facial. I highly recommend her! And the office is super cute too! read more
