I've been going to Lorena for facials for over 2 years now and she is truly the best! I feel like my skin has never looked better and my skin is always so happy and glowing after our appointments. Recently, she helped customize a facial program ~6 months out before my wedding, and my skin was absolutely perfect for the big day! Definitely recommend coming to her for pre-wedding treatments for the bride/groom. She always has the best product recommendations as well and really listens to any skin concerns you may have pre and post appointment. Her massages are also so relaxing and wonderful - such a great way to de-stress! I always look forward to my next sessions with her and have recommended her to all of my friends.

Unfiltered Beauty - Skin Care Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

the service I requested by Lorena was a Deep tissue 60 min massage. I booked the massage after a long week of work and was feeling the stress in the usual spots. Lorena made me feel comfortable and the vibe was relaxing. The location is central to Noe Valley near the Walgreens on Church St/ 24th St. Lorena listened to my body leaving me feel energized after an hour of magic. I've already booked my next appointment! read more

Before the year started I made sure to go see Lorena! I don't get massages as often as I'd like but my go to is always Lorena! She's the best! Her location in Albany is welcoming and relaxing. Before she started she asked me what my goal was and I just told her I'm very tense. She worked her magic. Make sure you stop by to get the best services Albany or SF! read more

I've had numerous treatments with Lorena over the last 3 years. Not only is she technically skilled and clearly passionate about both skincare and body work, she is also just an incredible person. I'm a women who doesn't often wear makeup or dress very fancy, but Lorena's approach and messaging around beauty includes people like me. She doesn't make me feel weird for being so clueless about skincare products and I still remember in our first facial appointment I only walked out with a 2 product routine because she figured out something practical for me. Her massages saw me from 1st trimester to postpartum and beyond. We make fun of my stiff back and hips but it never feels like moment of true shame, which I've had before. I always feel better physically and emotionally leaving her space and can recommend for either a relaxing moment or to support muscular recovery. I've never worked with any of the rest of her team, but I'd trust her to only bring on other folks who are similarly interested in providing a welcoming, inclusive environment. read more

I had an amazing massage with Lorena! From the moment she started, she knew exactly how to find and relieve all my tension. Her technique is both soothing and therapeutic, and she checks in just enough to make sure the pressure is perfect without interrupting the relaxation. I left feeling really good If you're looking for someone who is skilled, attentive, and truly dedicated to helping you feel your best, Lorena is the one. Highly recommend! read more

It's been awhile, but so happy to be back on track with Lorena. Just received her newest offering, The Amethyst Facial, and it was amazing! It felt like a therapeutic massage for my face, neck and shoulders with the benefits of caring for my skin with thorough cleansing, extractions, lots of hydration, and a peel to help with acne and pigment. She had described it as a facial to help regulate the nervous system and the service being both feeling luxurious and clinical - that is exactly what I received. Oh, I also added on the intra-oral trigger point treatment for my tight masseters and immediately felt more space in my jaw area. As a clencher and teeth grinder this will be a staple add-on to all my future appointments with her. Simply amazing! read more

Lorena never disappoints!! As a long time customer, she has always given the best service and her gentle presence has been a great comfort. She's an expert at what she does and so caring. I absolutely look forward to every appointment! She relieved my jaw pain and takes such amazing care of my skin. Her room is my comfort place haha. I highly recommend Lorena for the best spa experience you ever had!! read more

Lorena gave me a TMJ massage/Facial and it literally de puffed my face! I struggle with PCOS so I've always had a round/fuller look to me and after the session, my face not only was glowing but looked slimmer. During our session, Lorena also was saying affirmations that resonated with me. She encourages me to give myself love and take care of me. So grateful for you Lorena read more

So far I've had an incredible facial and a thoughtful and relaxing massage and both have been outstanding. After I got the facial, I went to a friends that weekend and got so many compliments on my skin. My husband told me that I looked younger. She recommended a product and it's been really helpful. I feel really lucky but she was recommended to me. You can tell she really cares. Thank you, Lorena! read more

I tried Lorena Full Body Massage and Mini Facial service. What an amazing combination! Even with the mini facial, my skin felt refreshed and the massage itself was exceptional. read more

Warning: I have high expectations because my first massage ever was on the lovely island of Maui! I have been following Lorena with Unfiltered Beauty since their Pacifica location by recommendation of a friend. I was hesitant, but after my first visit I have gone as often as my schedule has allowed me to go. No matter the time that has gone by between sessions, Lorena remembers details about you and you get an experience tailored to your needs. I started off as someone who couldn't tolerate much pressure, but badly needed some TLC in her back and Lorena worked with that. Today, my massage needed some extra elbow pressure added into it and Lorena knew exactly how to get the numerous knots out without making me cry in pain. She is very receptive to your needs and easy to work with. With Lorena, I experienced my first facial at the old Pacifica location and oh my goodness. I filled out a questionnaire beforehand and she was ready for me when I arrived. Today, I went for a post-baby recharge and oh my goodness the facial was amazing in preparation for my wedding in September. She does not try to sell you things you do not need and she helps you find what works for your situation. I saw her for a massage while I was pregnant and I was a bit nervous, but she made me feel super comfortable and worked out the kinks in my back. For some who love the spa experience of a sauna, hot tub, etc this might not be for you. Don't get me wrong I enjoy all of those too, but I think the personalized treatment is hands down much more rewarding and I will continue to go back and follow her anywhere because it's worth it. I live in Burlingame and it definitely is a little bit of a trek, but SO worth it!!! Thank you, Lorena!!! read more

Lorena and Thy are amazing. I've been going to Lorena for over a year. She's taught me about my skin and helped me improve my skincare routine to my individual wants and needs. She always makes me feel comfortable and relaxed. I leave my appointment feeling rejuvenated and gorgeous. I booked a facial for my teen daughter for her birthday recently and I couldn't believe her results. A week later she's still glowing. It was her first facial ever. She really enjoyed it and was so happy with the results. read more

Last week, I went to my first facial with Thy (like "tea") and WOW! I am so impressed! Five days later, and I still find myself touching my face and being shocked by how smooth and healthy my skin feels. I discovered Unfiltered Beauty while chatting with friends; one of them used to own a spa and the other is very particular about his skin - so they have high standards for estheticians. I was nervous about trying a new spot, but Thy put me at ease as soon as I walked in. She is friendly and approachable and kind--but also incredibly professional. As soon as she starts talking about skincare, you know she is a master at what she does. Thy gave me a custom facial, and explained why she chose each component that she did throughout the process. She has a variety of cool, high-tech tools, but the essence of the facial was in her deep knowledge and soothing, nurturing craft. I was (pleasantly!) surprised that the soothing 75 minutes included so many pieces; Thy maintains a smooth, consistent rhythm that ties it all together and allows you to truly relax. I am a convert, and I'll be going back as soon as my skin starts to get dry and dull again! read more

What can I say? Lorena is the best! I saw her both for massages and facials and I love her knowledge and how she cares for her customers. Every time I go, I feel refreshed and glowing! Thank you! read more

This year has not been kind to my body. I work at a desk most days... and grade my posture no higher than a B-. The Rona Shutdown hasn't exactly helped as the lack of team sports and maskless endurance exercise has kicked my over-40 body in the... body? And after sleeping funny one night, I had pretty serious neck and back pain that lasted weeks. Enter Lorena. We set up a Covid-regulation-compliant massage which was exactly what I needed. Lorena is fantastic, a true experienced professional who took the time to thoroughly understand my issues and pressure comfort level. I only had the budget for about 30 minutes (shared the hour with my wife) but that was all she needed to work through my issue areas and substantially reduce the pain I felt in the days after the massage. Even just typing this makes me feel so much better I want to schedule another session. read more

I meet Lorena two years ago after having my baby and desperately needed a massage. Lorena was recommended by my doula. I been going to Lorena for massages and facials. Lorena has a great touch and a great masseuse. Her experience in skincare and facial leaves my skin radiant. Lorena has helped me with glowing skin using natural products and relax after caring for a toddler. Even my husband goes to her now for a massage. Great gift for mother/father day and birthday! We strongly recommend Lorena. read more

Updating my review here! I've gone to Lorena almost every other month for a year and my skin looks so much better. Lorena knows exactly what she is doing, provides helpful tips and insight into my habits that affect my skin and is extremely detailed in her services. I've bought gift cards for family members and highly recommend her to everyone! All of my connections agree that Lorena is the BEST read more

Just had a massage from Lorena on Friday, I had seen her a few times before the pandemic and she has not lost her magic touch. Very deep massage and she found a lot of knots in my back since I hadn't gotten a massage since before COVID. My prior massages when my second child was a newborn, she knew every spot that hurt without me telling her since she's a mom herself. I will definitely be going back again in a few weeks to get the last few deep knots out of my back - but I feel SO MUCH BETTER today! Pain shooting down my side and tightness - gone! Anyway if you are looking for a local massage therapist, try Lorena. Besides being super talented she's also an incredibly kind local mom in the area. read more

Thy Pham is an amazing aesthetician!! I highly recommend her for facials and waxing (especially Brazilians). She's also a very sweet person. Her care for her clients comes through the quality of her services. read more

I have been seeing Lorena for massages for over 15 years. I connected with her when she worked at a spa in SF. Her touch and attention to detail is amazing. I have gotten massages from others....but they never compared to hers. I have followed her from one spa to the next, wherever she worked, I followed. Yea, she is that good. So being that I have followed her throughout most of her career, I am so excited that she has opened up her current spot. I had the pleasure of seeing her a week ago. The space she has is very welcoming & clean. I hadn't had a massage since December 2019 and man, it was overdue! As always, her touch is wonderful. I went in with tight back muscles and she performed her amazing deep tissue massage, focusing on the spots I asked her to. Once the massage was complete, I felt so relaxed. The talented Lorena has also started doing facials. I am not a facial kind of person, but I decided to give one a try (this was only the 2nd facial in my life). She gave me a Hydrojelly Mask. WOW! this was so cool! As strong as Lorena is with her deep tissue, her touch is so gentle and relaxing when performing facials. During the facial I could feel the cool, refreshing, tingling sensations on my face. After the facial my face felt smooth, clean and rejuvenated. Will I be getting my 3rd facial soon?...YES! Lorena is a strong believer of body wellness and it shows in her work. You won't regret seeing her, whether it be for a massage or facial. Her goal is your well-being, so if you're ready for a RECHARGE, she's your gal. read more

I've just got my facial and brow wax with Lorena. She is a great professional, she addressed my concerns and made my skin glowing! I loved the products she used. Oh, not to forget about my perfect brow shape as well :)) The office is neat, clean and in compliance with COVID precautions. Highly recommended for everyone who is looking for a great skin therapist!!! read more

Best massage I've been to so far. I'm a bit ticklish on my back but she still managed to make me feel better. I'm definitely going back read more

If you're looking for top-notch waxing services, look no further than Thy at Unfiltered Beauty. I've been seeing Thy for the past few months, and her expertise shines through in every session. Thy makes the process comfortable and efficient, and her friendly demeanor also puts me at ease instantly. I am left with flawlessly smooth skin every time. The salon room itself is very relaxing and cozy, making the entire visit a delight. Once you experience Thy's skills, you'll never want to go to anyone else. 5 stars is not enough to express how fantastic she is. read more

I booked a facial + massage combo with Lorena and loved it. She was very personable and customized everything for me. I have bad allergies to a lot of ingredients and she made sure that each product was safe. The massage was done with consideration of my specific needs, and NOT just an oil rub. The facial was well timed and went smoothly. The location was quiet and had plenty of parking on a weekend morning. I will be back! read more

Went to get my very first facial with Lorena and I'm super happy with my experience! She did an amazing job addressing my skin concerns while making the visit so relaxing. The product recommendations at the end were on point and so helpful for a skincare newbie like myself. Thanks Lorena for being phenomenal at what you do read more

Thy is the best aesthetician, more like a therapist and holistic healer and then your skin glows after as a bonus! I've followed her from spa to spa over the years! You will not be disappointed, I promise! read more

Wow, SERIOUSLY?? I have found my dream esthetician in Lorena!! I went in not knowing what needed to be done. She does an assessment and puts together a plan for exactly what your skin needs! Today she did a 30 minute back massage followed by a 60 minute facial with a special hydroderm treatment that left me GLOWING! I didn't want to leave and my skin feels smooth and looks flawless! I've already booked my next appointment to go back to see her for another 90 minutes of pampering! read more

Thy and Lorena are amazing!!! Don't hesitate to book! I've been here twice and both times I had a combo massage, facial, and brow tint. My most recent massage was with Thy and I fell asleep- which I rarely do! Like others have noted, I have also found my dream estheticians and masseuses! read more

I started going to Lorena after a bad cycling accident and my body needed help while I was recovering. Once I was moving again Lorena continued to be an important part of my recovery. Now my regular visits with Lorena are just as important to keep me moving. Bonus is getting a facial after the massage. What makes the difference is Lorena listens to what you need and then adjusts based on what she discovers. read more

Lorena's prenatal massages have been a fantastic addition to my pregnancy. I started seeing her towards the beginning of my 3rd trimester, and now at the end have decided to make use of her services once a week until birth. She also does postpartum services- can't wait to take advantage of those! Lorena has a magical touch, a calming presence, and is very professional. I have found her schedule to be very accommodating for making appointments during the week or weekend. I would recommend her services to anyone who needs to de-stress and rejuvenate! read more

I had a facial with Thy at Unfiltered Beauty today and my experience was great. Thy took the time to explain everything to me and she was a wealth of knowledge.

She made sure I was comfortable and took the time to do a customized facial. my skin is glowing and I love my results so far. I will for sure be back to see Thy! read more

I have been going to Lorena for massages for five years and have enjoyed a couple facials now. She is truly gifted! She is professional, she listens intently, and does an amazing job. Skin: After 23 years of searching for the right products for my insanely sensitive skin, Lorena met the challenge. When the first sample she suggested did nor work, she researched and found another suggestion. She listened to all of my laundry list of issues with skin products and found me the perfect product. Following my facial with her, my skin felt and looked amazing. My new at home routine mimics the experience and I no longer have stress about my skin! Massage: After two pregnancies, chronic panic, and a few injuries, she is always able to work her magic and leaves me feeling amazing not just in the moment but for days if not weeks to follow. I highly recommend Lorena. You will not be disappointed by her amazing care and services! read more

I just had a massage with Lorena at unfiltered beauty SF. She is very courteous and professional and the massage was quite lovely. The space is clean and beautiful and a very uncluttered and Lorena uses some wonderful aromatherapy during the massage. Just a great experience. The electronic appointment was an easy process too. Highly recommend. read more

Lorena is a fantastic massage therapist. I've gone to her twice now for my prenatal massages and they've been excellent. My joints feel so much better after I go. She truly listens to where your pain points are and makes sure to target those in the session. Will be back post baby! :) read more

Lorena is my go-to masseuse. She is warm, friendly, and is amazing at getting out knots, but being gentle so you don't feel beat up at the end of the session. It's relaxing and therapeutic. I haven't had a massage for the last 1.5 and am so excited to start seeing her regularly again. Her new spot in Pacifica is clean, calming, very convenient and has easy parking. She is highly experienced and used to work at Nob Hill Huntington Spa, so have been trained by the best. Check her out, you won't be disappointed! read more

My facial with Lorena was the best treat I could have ever given myself. It was so relaxing, and I feel like my skin is absolutely glowing. Not only is the drive down to Pacifica beautiful, but it's conveniently located in an area with an abundance of parking. Every product Lorena used on me smelled heavenly, and the massage portion had me nearly asleep I was so relaxed. I'll definitely be coming back again soon. Thanks again! :) read more
