I've been coming here for over a year (approximately once a month) since I found it on Yelp -- and I haven't been disappointed. Although I have good skin, it has never looked better. I've been to many others estheticians in the past, and it was always a failure. I highly recommend Nadya!

I had not had a facial for a few years and can tell Nadya takes the facial game up to a whole other level. I saw how much gunk came out of my skin when we did the suction machine thing. The extractions were done really well and not that uncomfortable. I will definitely be treating myself to another facial in the future! I also got some sage advice on beauty products and knowing which ones are a waste of money versus worth the money. Thank you Nadya!

Dermaplanning could be done as add on facial or single session

Hydrafacial is the facial you would want to have all the time, because it makes your skin glowy and hydrated for weeks.

I honestly don't even know where to begin because five stars doesn't feel like enough. Finding her…read morehas genuinely been one of the best things I've done for my skin. I originally came to her because I had a ton of milia, enlarged pores, and wanted healthier skin overall. I can honestly say my skin has never looked better. I don't break out anymore, my pores are noticeably smaller, and every single time I leave an appointment my skin is glowing. It genuinely looks like I have no pores when I walk out. Her extraction technique is unlike anything I've ever experienced. She's incredibly gentle but so thorough, and somehow I've never been left with scarring or unnecessary irritation. You can tell she's invested so much into her education and has learned techniques from all over the world because her work is on a completely different level. Beyond her talent, she's just an incredible human being. Every appointment feels like catching up with someone who truly cares about you. She gives the best advice, celebrates your wins, encourages your goals, and somehow always knows exactly what you need to hear. As a mom herself, she's also given me so much advice that's helped me through motherhood and pregnancy. I've walked in stressed more times than I can count and always leave feeling lighter, more confident, and with glowing skin. She has become so much more than my aesthetician she's someone I genuinely look forward to seeing every month. If you're thinking about booking with her, do it. She is worth every single penny, and I truly can't imagine trusting anyone else with my skin.

You haven't truly experienced expert skincare until you've been in the hands of Eti. My sister has…read morebeen seeing her religiously for years, and her skin is absolutely phenomenal. I've watched her journey from struggling with acne to achieving flawless, radiant skin--all thanks to Eti's magic. For myself, I had tried countless spas, facials, and estheticians but was never truly satisfied with the results. That all changed the moment I met Eti. After just two facials with her, my skin transformed in ways I never thought possible. Every visit leaves me in awe--my complexion is glowy, dewy, and more radiant than ever. Honestly, I feel like my skin is even better now than when I was younger, all because of the care and expertise she provides. Her approach is unparalleled. From her techniques to the carefully curated skincare products she uses, every aspect of her practice is tailored to deliver the best possible results. She is worth every single penny. Her space is intimate, beautiful, and serene, offering a luxury, one-on-one experience that surpasses even the most high-end spas. While large spas may offer extra amenities, Eti's personalized care and expertise provide results that speak for themselves. I recommend her to everyone I know--even my husband! I am beyond happy and grateful to be under her care, and I cannot say enough good things about her. If you're looking for truly transformative skincare, Eti is the one.

Look how beautiful her skin is now.

It begins very relaxing and delicious smelling masks while listening to lovely and serene music that Coo has playing throughout the entire time. Once all the pores are opened Coo begins the extraction process. I'll be honest, this treatment was far from relaxing. And at times pretty painful. But I endured it since I wanted her to get to removing anything she possibly could. And she did! Post extraction was also followed up with some more lovely smelling masks, suctions and a very relaxing oxygen mask. I am so sooo happy to have found Coo!

I can't recommend Simin highly enough! She is not only the best in LA - I am sure she is one of the…read morebest in the world: LA is my hometown but I have lived in different states as well as many years abroad in different countries, and I basically gave up on trying to find a waxist anywhere else. No one measures up to Simin -- they're either not properly equipped, don't know what they're doing, or are outrageously priced. Simin offers quality and value. She's experienced and has been operating from the same location in Westwood for decades. She uses only high quality fabric strips and melted European honey wax (as well as pink wax for sensitive areas). She's very thorough, but you can also look yourself over and let her know if she missed any spots and she's always happy to go over them again; she even takes the time to tweeze hairs here and there that are too short to be waxed. As I noticed other Yelpers have already pointed out, she's very good with hygiene and maintaining her work space so her salon always feels clean. And what really seals the deal are how reasonable her prices are. Most of the times I've made the mistake of trying to get waxed elsewhere I've been (sometimes literally) sorely disappointed. On the few occasions I've had decent results, it was never good value like it is with Simin. I refer her to all my girl friends and know how loyal her clientele are because just like me they don't go to anyone else but her. So for years every time I am back in town I make sure to schedule an appointment with Simin, otherwise while I am away I try various methods of self grooming at home (even though Simin often scolds me for shaving as she can tell on my next visit when my hair is "razor cut"). It helps too that Simin is flexible with appointment times, and in the past she even accommodated me with evening appointments when needed. Lastly, Simin is very personable, taking the time to get to know you and always remembering where you left off the next time she sees you even if it's been months! She's funny, posh, & cultured. It always feels like visiting an old friend and I know she's going to take good care of me every time. **** Just a small extra piece of advice: be sure to read the street parking signs carefully because they do ticket like crazy in Westwood :P

Once I filled out my form and handed back the ipad, I waited a total of 5 min before I was greeted by another staff member who took me take photos of my face before putting in a glass surround corner exam room, mind you on the 9th floor on Wilshire in Brentwood right before Santa Monica. The views were excellent the room was well decorated, organized, with breathtaking views and nothing like a hospital exam room. I was then introduced to Nikki H. my injector, who seemed very courteous and welcoming. She asked me specific questions regarding what were goals with tox and then asked if i'd make certain expressions with my face so she can make her analysis. Immediately after she had the NP Lovely come in and review the treatment we agreed on. Once she came, set up her kit, then proceeded to stick me while I was talking to the NP. Funny thing I didn't feel a thing and it was seemless. Once treatment was completed Nikki walked me to the reception to schedule a follow-up and was incredibly kind. This isn't my first rodeo so to have an injector handle the procedure so delicately for me not to notice while I was in mid discussion, was excellent. Happy to say due to the ambience, staff, an amazing injector Nikki and timely service. I will definitely be going back to them soon. Thanks Skin by Lovely and Nikki H. (Injector)
