I have been doing my facial with Sue for over 6 years. She is so professional and knowledgeable. She customized the facial based on my skin, and I left feeling refreshed and hydrated. She did an awesome job every time. Definitely recommend to anyone who are looking for a solid, no-stress facial. read more

Disclaimer: I have never had a facial before and was pretty hesitant about it. Came to Sue's as a recommendation from a colleague and it definitely did not disappoint. Sue was very informative through every step and customized my facial to what my skin needed and of course, what I wanted. I've been traveling a lot and my face needed some TLC, so I let Sue know that it is probably dehydrated. Thus, she recommended and did the following treatments on me: - Microdermabrasion - diamond tip wand that polishes to reveal a brighter, smoother glowing complexion - This was such an interesting feeling, it felt like a suction taking away my impurities. - Pomegranate and Cranberry Enzyme - exfoliates, detoxes, calms and hydrates the skin - This helped with the whiteheads that I had from dehydration and not exfoliating often - Extractions - deep cleaning of the pores - I'm all for extractions :) - LED Light Therapy - reduces fine lines and wrinkles, increases collagen production, anti-bacterial - 24K Gold Mask - lifts, calms, hydrates, antioxidant properties slow down aging of the skin - it covered your whole face and has a jelly-like texture Overall, my experience was very positive with Sue and for first-time facial people, I would highly recommend her. I left with my skin feeling really refreshed and glowing. read more

Sue Lim Advanced Skin Care - 24k gold mask - Skin Care Near Me - Pasadena, California

Sue is amazing!!!! This is my fourth trip here and I brought in my husband (whom usually don't like to get pampered) but just like me; we enjoy it. Our skin is ready for our wedding in 14 days!!!! When I first came here my face was super dry (as a desert) with many blackheads and mild acne. Sue came to the rescue and fixed it. Sue is very sweet, caring and very attentive. She also gives me advice on what to do and how to take care of my face at home, including on what products is best for my skin. Am so glad my friend referred me to Sue because I'd probably look like a total mess for my wedding. I am definitely coming back here after the wedding. read more

See all

I've been seeing Sue for my skincare since 2019 and she's been a lifesaver. Sue has a very holistic approach to skincare (hint: it's more than just the surface level and what is slathered on the skin) and has made amazing recommendations to help clear out my undiagnosed acne. I had a very specific form of acne and after seeing Sue, it's gone and the area is nice and smooth now. She also takes into consideration my current products and helps fill the gaps with what items I truly need. I love testing new products but there's always a fine line between hoarding and having just the right amount. I go to Sue almost monthly and the last time I saw her, I was about to buy a new toner. Instead of selling it, Sue suggested that I finish my current products first. It's such a small act, but it's another testament that she truly cares. read more

Sue is my go to aesthetician. I've been going to her for years and even though we've both moved, I still trek out to see her. My skin is always glowing after our appointments; that alone is heaven sent. She does custom facials and has a variety of products and technology that she incorporates into each facial. Every time I go she caters to whatever my current skincare needs are--whether I'm breaking out from stress or just need a boost for an event. I also love that the pricing is straightforward. $100, a set price and I get a facial customized to my skin concerns--no extra mystery fees. The spa is clean and quiet with tons of parking. Plus, it's surrounded by a cute community with shops if you want to grab coffee or stroll. read more

Sue Lim Advanced Skin Care - Sue! Best aesthetician ever! - Skin Care Near Me - Pasadena, California

I would say my experience at Sue Lim's Skin Care is AWESOME other than great. I have been doing facial at different places for years so I am pretty much know what I am getting. However, the experience and results are beyond my expectations. Sue is so attentive, genuine, and caring. She explains everything and every step so clear. So I didn't have the experience of wondering what's on my face during my treatments as before. The place is clean, hygiene, quiet, and comfy. I chose the face lift treatment as I really need one. Came in with dry skin flakes, deep laugh lines, and dull skin tone. I was not happy how pandemic did to me. The treatment is about 60min. The result was amazing! I felt my skin was hydrated instantly, the laugh lines are no longer that deep (in fact, I think they are so light that I barely even notice). When I was checking myself in the mirror, I saw my skin tone was so much brighter! Love it. I waited for couple of days to write a review. As in the past, I had places did my facial so well on the spot but it didn't last. However, until now, I am feeling great with the treatment I did at Sue's place. My skin tone is definitely much lighter and brighter, my face doesn't seem saggy at all. Bought the package and will 100% go back on a regular basis. Thank you Sue! read more

Sue is exceptional! And I could not recommend her more highly! I have been going to her for over a year and the difference she has made is incredible. The microcurrent and collagen treatments have refined my jawline, lifted my drooping eyelids, eliminated puffiness under my eyes and smoothed out my wrinkles. My skin has never looked more healthy. Sue makes the client feel very comfortable and at ease. She genuinely listens to your concerns and tailors her treatments to address your specific needs. Finally, Sue is honestly so kind, warm and caring. Grateful to know her! read more

I've been going to Sue for a while now and every visit makes my skin fresh! Not only my skin feels nice, I can totally see the difference. Of course with my new glowing skin I have more confidence thanks to her 8) read more

I went to see Sue upon a recommendation from a friend. I don't get facials often so wasn't sure what I needed. She did a consultation with me and recommended a custom facial. Facial was really relaxing and was definitely a great experience. She used various tools/machines on me. There was a red light machine that put me to sleep. She also used an electric current wands that felt like it was pulling and tightening my skin. There was also a really cold wand that felt really refreshing. My skin looked amazing after! read more

Now that I'm hitting my 30s soon (#sadness) I figured I should really start taking care of my skin and what way to splurge on myself other than facials!! I found Sue on yelp and am completely in love with her~ I've only been with her 3 times and I'm fully committed. She takes absolute care of you and caters to your skin needs. Each visit was different and ever since my skin feels so plump and no breakouts! Starting price is $85 (which is pretty good considering she does custom facials) and can increase depending on what she does. She's currently trying to a get a new microcurrent machine running so can't wait to try that too! Sue is the sweetest and you will not regret getting a facial with her!! I believe she is only available on Sundays but hopefully soon she'll have no availabilities but she just had a baby so I don't blame her! read more

I have been trying to find a facialist I love for quite some time and have bopped around to a few different ones over the last 5 years. I have FINALLY found THE ONE. I have seen Sue around 8 times now and it's now part of my monthly routine. Compared to other experiences, what I love about Sue is that she tailors each appointment to your immediate skin needs and so each appointment is slightly different. She uses all the latest tools, products and machines rather than just lathering on skin masks which you can do at home. My skin has never been as healthy, glowing and dewy thanks to Sue! read more

I've been seeing Sue for facials for almost 7 months now. I first had her as an aesthetician at a different salon in Hollywood and followed her to Sierra Madre. Sue is amazing! I had really bad cystic adult acne after having my baby and finally decided to do something about it. My friend referred me to Sue. I receive facials from her once a month. My complexion has improved drastically. My skin is now softer and pores are smaller. Even my husband noticed my face is clearer! I still have breakouts here and there but they are very minimal. She has even recommend daily products that don't clog my pores. Sue takes her time with each session. I feel relaxed every time I leave the salon. Her prices are reasonable and you don't even have to buy a package and pay in advance like other facial places. If you are breaking out and need a facial, Sue is the girl for you! read more

Sue was amazing!!! My skin was in desperate need of some attention because I recently came back from traveling. The dry and stale air from the plane left my skin looking a bit dull and dehydrated. She listened to my concerns tailored the facial to me. I've gotten facials before and at most spas they usually just do the "standard package" with little to no customization but with Sue I got a very personalized experience. The treatments and masks that she did left my skin feeling so soft and hydrated. Sue walked me through each mask and treatment. She was so knowledgable and gave me great tips for my own skincare regime. She recommended an apple enzyme peel, LED light therapy, and an antioxidant hydrating mask to finish. I left relaxed and with glowing skin! I'll definitely be recommending her to my friends! I couldn't be happier with my skin. read more

My go to esthetician moved and because of covid, it's been a while since I had a facial! I was in need of one so bad that as soon as they allow the facial places open, I went and found Sue on Yelp. I came in for a custom facial. The menu is simple and straightforward. You get a a 75 minute facial for $125 flat rate. She starts off with a detailed consultation so she can customize the facial according to my skin concerns. For my oily skin, she did a hydro-exfoliation with a lactic acid peel. This was a vacuum suction that infuses serums into the skin while vacuuming away the gunk in the pores. After the hydro-exfoliation she proceeded to do extractions - my favorite part of a facial! I also got red led light therapy for anti-aging. The light therapy was really relaxing. I was able to take a much needed nap under the light. She finished off with a pearl hydro jelly mask that helps to brighten and hydrate the skin. It was just nice to be pampered after being all cooped up at home for the last few months. I felt very safe with Sue! I would definitely recommend her! read more

There is no better place to get a facial than with Sue. She customizes every visit to your skin's needs, which has been super effective as my skin changes with the weather and time. I don't know anyone else who offers this level of specialization. I've been going to her since her previous location pre-pandemic and don't know what I'd do without her. The Pasadena location is convenient and I always walk out feeling refreshed and renewed. read more

I was recommended to get a facial from Sue by a close friend, and let me tell you, I will never need to find someone else to go to. Sue is incredibly genuine. I had never met her before and she made me feel very comfortable and made it easy to relax. We exchanged valuable conversation while also allowing for relaxing silence. She helped me identify the best products for my skin, and even sent me follow-up texts asking how the product was working for me. If you are seeking for a calming and effective facial, Sue Lim Advanced Skin Care is for you! Thank you, Sue, for creating such a wonderful environment for self-care. read more

I love coming to Sue so much. I've gotten skin care in the past with others, but Sue is my absolutely favorite and now the only person I go to for these reasons: Personalized (TRULLY personalized) - I go to her once a month and every treatment is always different based on how my skin looks and feels. I didn't even know that was a thing until Sue started working on me. Each treatment leaves my skin feeling rejuvenated and grateful. Educational - not only she takes care of your skin during the session, but she also has shared tips, routines, products that I have included into my personal care and have been using for months now and have noticed that skin issues I've been struggling with for years have either significantly decreased or disappeared completely (acne, redness, oiliness, etc) Fairly priced - Sue's care is priceless to be honest. She loves what she does and you can see that through her personalized, caring approach and results. In my opinion, her care is worth more. Zen - Sue has amazing calming energy about her so I've not only been getting my incredible facials from her but always left her sessions relaxed and with the sense of mental equilibrium. To conclude, skincare is a never-ending journey and in my opinion Sue is one of the best mentors for that journey. As she is always educating herself and guiding you through any changes she sees if you go to her on consistent basis. So go to her... on consistent basis... you will not regret it :) read more

I went to sue to get both a facial and back facial. Omg let me tell you, you will not be disappointed. She takes her time to inform you about the facial, and makes you feel right at home. My back felt amazing as well as my face. I've suffered Bacne and blemishes on my face but once your done with your treatment you will leave feeling like a million bucks. She will forever be my aesthetician. read more

It was my first ever facial and so glad I went with Sue! My main concern was congested skin and we went with the hydra facial which felt amazing + a few other treatments. She explained everything she was doing so I learned a lot and left with baby soft soft and clean pores. She was very helpful after the facial as well with recommendations on after care and products I currently use. Looking forward to more facials! read more

My experience with Sue was great! She did a fantastic job at explaining what she was doing and making me feel at ease. I went with the mini microcurrent facial, which was very relaxing, and I could see results right away. I'm looking forward to my next visit! read more

LOVE!!! This was my first time seeing Sue. I booked her based on her amazing reviews. She did a custom facial on me which involved 7-ish steps. She used multiple devices (extraction pen; infrared pen to kill bacteria; LED light panel), and did a double-cleanse, an enzyme mask, manual extractions, and a sheet mask that was thick and high-quality. Best of all she was easy to talk to, and helped me figure out the cause of my skin issues (I'm over-exfoliating). She was kind enough to provide me a small sample of serum to help with my over-exfoliation issue. I purchased a package of 3 facials that she offers, and booked my 2nd appointment. I left her clinic glowing and super appreciative of the insight she gave me, now I know what I need to change about my skin routine. I can't wait to be back next month!!! read more

I've visited different aestheticians and I have to admit, Sue is the best. I have been coming here for 3+ months now and I can't say anything negative! My complexion has improved and my skin feels great. Sue is the sweetest. She's professional and really cares about her clients. She would explain what my skin needs and the different facial procedures each time. I always look forward to my next appointments. I always learn something new, Sue just seems to have all the answers! =] Word of advice, just contact Sue and I reassure you, you will be comfortable once you speak with her. It can be intimidating when researching for a knowledgeable skin care person, we've all been there. read more

Sue definitely speaks to your skin! First time going and I'll definitely be a regular from now on. She's super sweet and informed me every step of the way of what she was doing. 10/10! read more
