I recently had a luxurious 1.5-hour brightening, smoothing, and hydrating facial with Summer Guss at SOCIALITE SKINCARE, and the entire experience was amazing from beginning to end! The facial included a relaxing face, neck, and shoulder massage, and I left feeling completely refreshed and pampered. ‍ The results were fantastic--my skin felt so smooth, hydrated, and refreshed! What I appreciated most was Summer's personalized skincare guidance. I even sent her pictures of the products I currently use, and she took the time to explain what I should use, when to use it, and what to avoid based on my skin and her experience. You can truly tell that Summer cares about her clients and takes pride in what she does. If you're looking for a relaxing facial along with professional, personalized skincare advice, I highly recommend Summer at SOCIALITE SKINCARE! read more

This has by far been the best facial I've had in a long time. I have tried a lot of different places but nothing is close to what I got here. Summer took time to understand my skin, she also customized the facial for me. She gave me some great tips on skin care. Overall I had such a great experience and my skin looks and feels great! Also, she was never pushy about making me buy her products. read more

Summer is AMAZING!! She's always very informative about the process, and I really feel like I'm great hands with every facial I get from her! She's such a warm person as well and is very understanding of people's time. She always gets back promptly when I am scheduling an appointment. The whole process is so relaxing, and I can't even describe how rejuvenated and fresh I feel after each session. Seriously can't recommend her more! read more

I had the recent pleasure of receiving an ultrasonic facial from Summer. My skin is still glowing! Let me just tell you, this woman knows her stuff! I've always had weird pigmentation around my upper lip, and Summer has been the only esthetician to notice it and inform me what the cause could be, i.e. sun damage! I even notice a difference after our first session. Now I know what my skin concerns are, and how to fix them. I will definitely be back for more! Her space is luxurious and inviting. Also, her warm personality is the cherry on top! Thank you Summer for a lovely experience! See you soon. ;) read more

Summer is amazing. I am really awkward and clueless about skin care - Summer has become a major wealth of knowledge and support for me. Definitely go see her!! I wandered in to the salon one afternoon for a random brow wax and luckily she had availability for a walk-in. I apologized for the state of my eyebrows - between work and family, I had neglected to make the time for myself and they were in pretty bad shape. I was feeling self conscious about it but Summer was so reassuring... while she shaped my brows we chatted and it was clear that she understood how hard it is to juggle being a working mom and still taking out time for ourselves. Summer even keeps evening hours so that people with schedules like mine can still have the opportunity to make themselves a priority. Because I felt so at ease with her I decided to ask about facials and skin care. I'd never done a facial and had no skin care routine, partially because it's so overwhelming and when I've asked other professionals about it I've always left feeling like they were trying to over sell products and services. That was when Summer really earned my trust. She answered my questions from an educator's perspective - I felt like I left with a better understanding of my skin and it's needs. She seemed happy to share her knowledge and she seems to really like helping people feel good about their skin. Since then, I've done two facials with Summer and although I have nothing to compare them to I have always been incredibly pleased. The process itself is so relaxing and then I love how my skin looks and feels after. In the past, my special treat for myself was always a mani/pedi but not any more. Summer's facials are now how I pamper myself. Also, Summer's been the only person I've let shape my eyebrows. She consistently does an amazing job - yesterday a stranger told me how great my eyebrows are. Nothing like that has ever happened to me so it felt really nice :) read more

Wow let start of by saying that Summer really knows what is up. I reached out to Summer a month ago for help with my acne breakouts. And let you tell I'm impressed with the progression. Thanks to her I now have the confidence to go out with friends and socialize again. Let me start of by saying her acne facials are awesome. I noticed improvement after my first one. I'm am currently doing peels with her and they are working really well. What I really appreciate about summer is that she makes you feel comfortable. She's is very astute in her profession. She gave me a really great consultation and steps on how we're going to tackle the acne. She went above and beyond and helped me find protein powders that wouldn't cause any breakouts. I trust her and I trust her results she is the best. read more

Have gone to Summer for only a few treatments so far for my cystic acne and it already looks like it is getting better. Summer is very knowledgeable and is willing to go above and beyond to help you solve any current skin problem. She is super sweet, will work with your schedule and will personally check in with you to see how everything is progressing! I definitely recommend Summer for any skin care needs. read more

I have had a couple services, (facial with a peel and then an oxygen facial), they both made my skin glow! Summer is thorough and so knowledgeable, the products she uses are gentle and safe for sensitive skin. The best part is for the working mamas, her hours are so convenient, get your kids fed and bathed and then go enjoy some "me time." You should book now and become a regular, I know I am. read more

My first time with Summer for waxing Brazilian and Underarm. She was fabulous and caring! Summer puts her clients at ease and I really appreciated her attention to detail in making sure all hairs in the area were removed. I highly recommend Summer and her work! read more

I am so happy I found this little gem in lake forest! It was my first time ever getting waxing service! Summer made the whole process comfortable for me and answered all of my questions. She's a very knowledgeable esthetician and easy to talk to. I definitely will be returning to her and I hope to try a facial soon! read more

I just had the most Amazing Experience of a facial EVER!! Summer exceeded my expectations of what a facial could be. The treatments I received as well as the skill in her technique was by far the best facial I've ever had. She's very professional and my skin is glowing!! I was so relaxed which is something I hadn't really enjoyed before during a facial. It's a must to experience a treatment/facial from Summer read more

Wow! Summer was amazing and my face feels amazing. Went in for a facial and we talked about what will work and not work. She not only did an excellent job but she also educated me on how to care for my skin. I will definitely be back!!! read more

Summer is the best! She's the most sweet lady ever! Not to mention she did an amazing job on my facial and she also told me which products are bad for skin! Not many people share that information. I for one have never had a stable facial lady and she's the one for me. She was incredibly helpful and took care of my facial needs right away. I would recommend talking to her before starting your facial, she asks all the right questions and makes sure she's aware of what your goals are so she can help you achieve them. I would definitely recommend to anyone! The Signature Plus Facial is amazing! I would recommend that as well. read more

Summer is magical! Her facials and peels are relaxing and fun! She is so knowledgeable. Don't know what I did before becoming so lucky to find her . This was my first visit and first time having this service . Summer is personable and comfortable. I already feel a difference with the procedure and will definitely continue with follow ups. It is always a pleasure going to get treated with the best. She takes her time and treats you so well that you always want to come back. She uses what ever is best for your type of skin. She uses amazing products that make your skin feel like silk. I highly recommend going to Summer! read more

I came to see Summer tonight for a bikini wax. Found her business on Yelp and she was close to home with great reviews. I was very pleased with her treatment room and services! It was very clean and comfortable. Summer is a doll and fun to talk to. She did a great job and I also was pleasantly surprised by how relatively little pain I felt. She uses multiple types of waxes to ensure you have a comfortable experience...as much as one could for waxing! :) I will be coming back for future waxing and other services. Great find!! read more

Summer is amazing with skin care and has a wealth of knowledge within her industry. She is even more amazing with my teenage daughters acne prone skin. She was so sweet, patient, and kind with my daughter that I made an appointment for my other daughter to see her just a few days later. My daughter said she informed her about health and what she is putting into her body which may be creating the acne. She has changed her diet and is now encouraged to see her skin clearing up! I can't wait for my turn. Thank you Summer, we love you! read more

My daughter and I came in for a facial and eyebrow wax and shaping. We got so many compliments. She shapes them perfectly to the natural contour of your face. She is absolutely AMAZING! Then we got our facials...boy oh boy was this an incredible experience. Afterwards I looked so refreshed and rested. I swear to the heavens above I look at least 7 years younger. I'm 36 and I was told I looked 28 or 29...Definitely NOT even 30...I'll take it! Before booking a facial, the first thing I look at is the aestheticians face. Hers is flawless. This tells me that she knows what she is doing. My daughter has really bad skin and she sat with her and explained what to do to improve the quality of her skin and it has been 3 weeks since she went to her and their is a significant difference in her skin. I will be back in California in 4 weeks; I've already made an appointment with her. read more

Summer is amazing!! She has done wonders to my skin. After working with many dermatologists with no success, I was beginning to give up. I met summer about 4 years ago at a salon and now she officially has her own location in Rochester! I have struggled with scars and constant break outs on my face, but Summer was confident that she can help me. After light and heavy chemical peels, all sorts of facials, masks, and many other techniques - my face is finally clear!! Summer was able to recommend the most efficient products to use as my daily routine. I constantly receive compliments from friends and family who are shocked to see how quickly my skin was able to heal. I look forward to my appointments with Summer! She's funny and has such a great heart, I leave out of there feeling amazing!! read more

I was referred to Summer aka "The Skin Goddess" to help treat my severe acne and extreme discoloration from being in the sun every day. Of course, trusting someone new with your skin is always very scary but from the moment I walked in, Summer made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. We talked about all the things I wanted to correct with my skin and she assured me things would clear up for me (literally) Her magic hands and knowledge of skincare proves to be expert level. I followed her thorough regimen and within months I was a whole new person! My acne is gone, my skin tone is even, and just the overall health and condition of my skin has never been so great! Trust me, SHE IS AMAZING! I've never been so happy with my Esthetician, the products I use, and the skin on my face. Truly life changing. Thank you Summer for transforming my skin! read more

Socialite Skincare - Skin Care Near Me - Lake Forest, California

I desperately needed a facial and being new to the area was very skeptical about finding a new esthetician. I loved my old one but that is too far from my place now. I have a combination skin which is very acne prone. Read some yelp reviews and went to Summer. She is amazing and knows her art to core. She spent good enough time to understand my needs and my skin and recommended the facial accordingly. She is very skilled and made me feel very comfortable, also, great bedside manners and nice treatment room just added to the comfort. She spent almost 1 hr 15 min on my facial. My skin already feels great and i have no redness even after extractions. I am definitely going to see her again soon. read more

Been searching for an esthetician in OC and I found Summer and I am not going anywhere else! She is amazing and my skin feels and looks wonderful! Super knowledgeable and trustworthy :) SUMMER is the BEST!! read more

So I used to see an esthetician for facials in Fountain Valley for a few years now. But, recently due to personal issues, she is currently not working. This lead me on a search for a new esthetician. I wanted someone close by because the drive to Fountain Valley was just getting too hectic because it was so far. With that in mind I did some research and checked yelp thoroughly and found skincare by Summer. I made an appointment and honestly I didn't know what to expect. I was so used to how things were with my old esthetician that I didn't know what I was getting into. Honestly, Summer is absolutely AMAZING! She made me feel so comfortable and asked me so many questions about my skin because she wanted the best for me. Shes so informative and really knows what shes talking about! I could tell right off the bat that she wants the best for her clients and she wants them to leave happy and beautiful, which is definitely how I felt! The facial was very relaxing and she did such an amazing job. My skin is glowing! Keep in mind, I usually get facials because I have acne problematic skin and the facials I tend to get are geared towards that. Let me tell you, the acne facial Summer gave me was out of this world. I'm so used to the pain from extractions from previous facials but I didn't feel any pain with Summer because she is so up-to-date with her tools. I definitely prefer Summer's method than my old esthetician's. Whenever I would leave my old esthetician my face would look like I just got attacked by mosquitos, which I adapted as normal because I've been going to her for years. Leaving Summer's my face wasn't red, I had no irritation bumps and my skin looked as if it was transformed! So radiant and smooth. I'm honestly so happy I chose to go with Skincare by Summer. My family immediately noticed how great my skin looked and commented on it when I got home. I can definitely say that I will be continuing to go to Summer forever! She has won me over. I plan on recommending her to all my friends. If you're in the Lake Forest/Irvine area please make an appointment with Summer! You will not regret it, your skin will thank you! read more

All of the reviews are true- Summer is truly the best! I struggle with acne and sensitive skin and after only 3 sessions with her, plus incorporating amazing product recommendations, my skin is already a thousand times better. She is so helpful and makes sure that her clients are properly educated about home skin care and the products that she recommends. Not to mention Summer is just the sweetest woman ever! I couldn't ask for anything more!! read more

Summer is the best!! This was the first time I ever got my eyebrows waxed and she made me feel so comfortable. She is very sweet and personable and really does an AMAZING job. I know for sure I will be a regular customer of Summers! :) read more

Summer is amazing! She has completely changed the condition of my skin. It is now healthy and acne free. My skin looks the best it has ever looked! She takes the time to talk to you about problem areas or general skin concerns and definitely customizes a facial to fit you. She is very skilled and educated in her field. I could not be more happy with her as my esthetician! read more

Went in for a first time ever facial last week and absolutely LOVED it! Summer customized the facial to my unique skin and my skin was glowing even days after. I was worried about my skin's sensitivity, but her products were phenomenal with my skin. Great prices too! read more

While vacationing in California, I decided to pamper myself and go get a facial. After finding Skincare By Summer on Yelp with such great reviews, I made an appointment. By far the best facial I've ever received. She took so much time making sure I was comfortable, she asked me questions to learn more about my usual skin regimens. Summer definitely knows her stuff. I highly recommend her. read more

Summer is amazing!! She makes you feel so welcomed and comfortable and also made her room so cozy! Many salons can be pretty and nice, but whether or not you come back depends on the person working on your skin. I've been a client of Summers for years and she honestly is the best esthetician I've been to yet. Before I found her I had been trying to find the right person to go to for waxing and facials and I have found my girl! First, Summer is so friendly and kind, you WANT to go to her and talk to her. She also has the best tips on just about anything and everything to do with your skin and how to make it look its best. Second, the products she uses are amazing. She also sells these products but only tells you to buy what is necessary and good for your skin unlike other esthetician's who try to sell as much as they can to you. She's so honest which I love! Third, she is so flexible with scheduling and goes out of her way to extend her work day to fit me in after my work shift! Whenever I need an appointment rescheduled she always makes sure to make it work with my schedule as well! She also does amazing work with makeup! I've gotten my makeup done a number of times for events. She worked in LA doing makeup for famous people and I definitely see why they loved her! Summer is the only esthetician I will go to because of her honesty, great work, and the results I get after my visits with her! read more

First of all, I just wanted to say that I was visiting from out of town, and from word of mouth I've heard about this place, and Summer in particular. I was skeptical at first because I am from out of town and was so used to my regular, but all I can say is wow. I don't know where to start. From the great customer service to the wonderful facial I had received, I was treated like royalty and felt so welcomed. Summer made me feel so comfortable and happy with myself. I had been struggling with acne for quite a while, but with her help I received one of the absolute best facials I have ever gotten, and some AMAZING products that work wonders. I'm usually not one to leave reviews but this is the very least I could do to show my appreciation to such a wonderful experience. read more

Summer is fantastic! Seriously the best esthetician! She is extremely knowledgable and knows just what my skin needs to look amazing! I highly recommend her! read more
