The facial focused on detoxifying the face using a jade gua sha technique, which noticeably reduced puffiness and inflammation. The ear lymphatic drainage was a unique touch that made a visible difference. The session also included a relaxing hand, shoulder, neck, and foot massage. Susan uses Murad products and my skin felt refreshed and radiant afterward. The heated bed was incredibly comfortable and the private setting made the experience even more restorative. Extractions were gentle, so if you're looking for something more aggressive with a lancet or needle, this may not be the place. But for a soothing, high quality facial with real results, this is a standout.

[Review #688] 2022 Yelp 100 Challenge (9/100)…read more I've been a client of Susan Halpern since 2014 when she worked at Murad Inclusive Health Spa (refer to Review #111) where I first started my recurring monthly facial treatments in 2002. I lost touch with Susan after the spa closed, & it took me another 5 years to find & reconnect as a client of Forever Young By Susan in 11/2020. Her "studio" is located in The Face Place & More Skin & Body Care, sharing the space with Linda Hirsch, Cloud 9 Massage, SkinFX, & Advanced Skincare By Marilyn. Services include anti-aging/acne facials (Luminesce, Acne Complex, Sun Undone, Resurgence, Back, Youth Building, Chinese Gua Sha, AHA Rapid Exfoliator, Men's) & waxing (Chin/Lip/Sideburns, Brow/Underarm, Traditional Bikini, Playboy Bikini, 1/2 Leg, Full Leg/Back/Chest). The facials are customized to client's needs & 50+ min. facials include additional services. I used to alternate between Luminesce, AHA Rapid Exfoliator, & Resurgence as a Murad client. Since reconnecting, I've been booking the CHINESE FACIAL GUA SHA (detoxification of face, neck, & shoulders with special jade gua sha technique; combats aging, reduces inflammation & puffy eyes, decreases pore sizes, help speed up cell regeneration, reduces stress) on a monthly basis to clean my face healthy & glowing. The daily life workload & stress, in addition to COVID-19, I really need this monthly getaway, even if it's just a small fraction of time. I'm usually just on time or a couple minutes behind, Susan always opens & greets me at the door with a smile (a huge + in my book that I'm not delayed because that cuts into my paid time)! =) The space is private -- just us -- but I always wear my mask & make sure I'm healthy before going even if we're vaccinated & boosted, & there's a temperature check at the entrance. The intimate room is clean & well-organized with dimmed lighting, comfy & warm bed, & relaxing background music to promote a serene & zen treatment. Before starting, Susan did a thorough analysis (to make sure this is the best facial for my current needs). As mentioned in the previous review, a good esthetician should recommend a different method than your standard MO because your skin changes with age, sun exposure/the elements, etc. Susan ALWAYS does just that at each appointment, adjusting the technique, timing of each process, etc. And if you're a new client, she explains what product & process in each step. At times, I don't even have to point out the problem areas because she spots these changes under the magnifying glass & adjust the treatment to rebalance & rejuvenate my skin. Sometimes Susan focuses more on my face, & other times when I'm rather stressed/tensed, she spends a little more time on the mini massage to remove the kinks & knots in my shoulders & neck. I'm highly sensitive to touch (= extremely ticklish), yet she skillfully maneuvers over these stress points with ease without my breaking out into delirious laughter. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Only 1 other professional, Francine (also from defunct Murad), was able to give me a massage without me squealing or squirming. Under Susan's proficient care & deft hands, the extraction process was minimal in discomfort that I can nap through the facial process when I'm tired. Most recently, I've been awake through my facials to chat in Cantonese. It's so nice to find someone who can speak the language so I can strengthen my Chinese roots, help me with common idioms & phrases, etc., bond over upbringing & familial care, etc. =) Comfort, quality, & care is what Forever Young By Susan is all about. Susan incorporates Eastern & Western techniques to detox & take care of the my skin issues that leaves me with dewy, glowing skin! I highly recommend Susan for your facial treatments. So sit back & relax... you're definitely in good hands (pun intended). ;-)

She never made me feel embarrassed about my acne at all, and would make me feel better by sharing stories of her own adolescent acne and how that led to her to becoming an aesthetician.

Now my skin is much improved, and I am looking forward to hopefully doing microneedling for scar lifting. Thank you Stacy!

She doesn't just give a haircut, she teaches you how to shape your hair to fit your face and actually work with your natural texture. I've sent so many friends to her, and every single one has ended up switching from their previous hairstylist to Janelle permanently. She especially shines with curly hair and truly knows how to bring tired, damaged, or shapeless hair back to life. From face framing layers to full hair revivals, she somehow always nails it. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients leaving confident and loving their hair. Finding a stylist this talented feels like discovering a hidden little treasure chest with scissors.

I went to Aveda Vicara in El Segundo last week with really high hopes because I've always had great…read moreexperiences with Aveda salons in the past. Unfortunately, this experience was incredibly disappointing. I showed the first stylist multiple reference photos of what I wanted, but she ended up adding a very dark root color to my already lightened hair, which was the complete opposite of the look I asked for. After expressing my concerns, the salon did have another stylist step in to help correct it, which I appreciated, although I waited nearly two hours in between. The second stylist made me feel much more comfortable and did improve the situation, but I still left unhappy with my hair overall. The correction consisted of using a color remover on the roots and applying toner to the rest of my hair, and I was charged $265 for it. At the end of the day, my hair looked better than what the first stylist did but still nowhere near what I originally asked for or envisioned. I'm leaving this review because I think communication and transparency are incredibly important, especially with color services. What upset me most was not just the outcome, but the way the situation was handled overall. I understand that corrections can take time and effort, but if I was going to be charged $265 for a corrective service after my hair was initially mishandled, that should have been clearly communicated to me beforehand. I truly wanted to love this salon and leave feeling taken care of, but unfortunately I left feeling disappointed, uncomfortable, and unhappy with the overall experience.
