I've had two facials with Busha so far, and both times I've left the spa with my skin soft and…read moreglowing! She is so sweet, knowledgable, and gives great recommendations/tips on how to keep your skin beautiful. During my first appointment, she thoroughly assessed my skin and I trusted her to curate a set of treatments specific to my concerns. I take care of my skin consistently but have issues with sensitivity, dehydration/dryness, and texture. Bushra did a combination of microdermabrasion treatments, extractions, along with hydration masks. My blackheads were bad... and are always bad lol but she took care not to extract for too long so that it doesn't irritate or cause damage to my skin. (I've had other blackhead extractions in the past that literally make me cryyyy but she is so gentle!) Throughout the facial, she's giving facial massages and also gives a neck/shoulder lymphatic. I'm not sure if I'm just overthinking, but my face does seem slimmer and less puffy afterwards. My skin when I left was bright, glowing, and soft! I was so impressed, I ended up buying a package for 3 facials. My second facial was no different! I've had other facials elsewhere where I leave hydrated, but the clearness/redness is unchanged. But here, I feel a new person. I highly recommend Bushra! She's available via email or text for an appointment.

I had initially scheduled an appt on 5/10 at 5pm. She contacted me letting me know the Salon would…read morebe closed in May and if I could come in April (two different days were offered to me with the latest appt being 4pm) . I let her know that I could make the 4pm work just had to move around some meetings. I got here 5 min before and there is a closed sign on the door and she is not answering the phone even though she texted me regarding the appt change. This is absolutely ridiculous. Because of the times I wanted to be flexible as I know it has been tough on small businesses. But to ask to change my appt by a month, then not show and not pick up the phone is disgraceful especially considering I moved meetings around for this. This is not to mention that the pricing changed between when I scheduled the appt and when she contacted me to reschedule. This is the worst customer service Update: I have changed my review to 3 stars as the owner contacted me later that evening to sincerely apologize and explain that her assistant had accidentally booked the wrong day. She even offered to add a peel off mask for free! I truly appreciate her reaching and making things right. Unfortunately the remaining appts they had for April don't work for me schedule wise so I will give them a try in August as I appreciate the owners efforts. Couldn't give more stars as I haven't tried the actual service yet.

Elena has been an amazing dermatologist for over 2 years. I still remember first time I visited…read moreher and I wasn't sure if I can finally get a service the way I always dreamed of. I have had bad experiences in the past where I paid high prices for horrible service. It was an amazing feeling to finally meet a dermatologist who listen to you and does her work so great and with such a love. You can tell how much she loves her job and how much she cares for her clients and how important to her the happiness of clients I have been doing my facials, wax and eyebrows with her for over 2 years and I would never go anywhere else. And let me add that I drive all the way from central valley (2 hours) once a month for all of the services, and it sure is worth my drive. Elena is a wonderful professional and any client in her hands feels like a queen/king.

As an avid goer of skin spas and all things beauty I thought this would be a pleasant experience however Sasha's inexperience, lack of attention to detail, or a combination of both warrants this review.

Decided to text the number and I received my response in a couple of minutes. I was lucky there was a last minute appointment available for the same day. To my surprise the spa was very well put together with an ambience of peace and comfort. Then I met Sasha, my skin guru! She is approachable, listens and doesn't push you to purchase and she genuinely cares about your concerns. I came in with an open mind and asked for her expertise. I have hyperpigmentation issues and I'm always wearing heavy foundation to cover this up. Sasha introduced me to Charcoal laser facial; applies a charcoal mask all over face, avoiding eye and mouth area, then goes over with a laser. We started on a small area to see how sensitive my skin was and to get an idea of that's the route I was looking for. Well....the difference was seen immediately and my horrible brown spots started to look lighter and I was sold! I decided to purchase a package of 5 treatments. Fast forward to 3 weeks and Look at my results after my second treatment (I've attached a picture)! I've also included a picture of what my skin looks now with minimal makeup and I love it!!! Thank you Sasha for changing my skin game! Also, she introduced me to an amazing collagen moisturizer which I'm hooked on!

I saw yulia for a basic facial a few months ago with extractions and generally had a great…read moreexperience. The place is very basic - part of a little plaza - on the left side of the courtyard. Budget time for finding street parking, as with anything downtown San Carlos. Yulia was on time and took even a few minutes over to take care of the full problem (a LOt of blackheads / clogged pores on cheeks) . My favorite part was probably her advice on resolving the persistent clogged pores and blackheads I had been battling for almost a year. Talking to me about the products I use, she quickly deduced my problem was most likely dry (not excess oil) skin and a lack of hydration from overusing bha's at too high of a concentration. I was skeptical at first but doubling down on moisturizing and discontinuing harsh acids ultimately fixed the issue . I plan on still coming for a tume up her or there. Only crit is that the skincare products sold there are ok (I got the toner and it unfortunately didn't get along great with the rest of my products but maybe you'll have better luck).

The quality here is outstanding. I loved the vibe when I walked in. It's a small location but It…read morefelt like I got VIP service. I booked online for a 1 hour facial. Yulia said my skin was in good condition. She told me that I probably only needed a professional facial every 3 months. I did answer a few questions to ensure that I was no allergic to anything or have had any past reactions. This is great due diligence on her part. This made me fell great as a customer as well. I did a deep pore cleaning facial ($90). After removing my shirt, I laid down on the comfy table face up for my treatment. This helps so you dont get any products on your shirt or jacket. She performed all the layers and removals seamlessly. We identified that I need to use moisturizer 2 times per day to maintain good skin. She also recommend that I do an exfoliation more regularly to ensure my skin can accept products. I left with my skin bright and glowing. I'll definitely be back before summer to get another treatment. Time to be acknowledged 5/5 Time to be serviced 5/5 Return value 5/5 Bathroom 5/5 Customer service 5/5 Parking 1/5

I came to her first for makeup and hair for a family photo shoot. I'm in-ept at taming my mane and she handled it (and plucked out my grays! Ha!). Quick, easy, cost effective, and in my house. Fantastic! She tells me she is finishing up her licensing for skin stuff and lashes etc, I told her I was interested and next thing I know I am making an appointment for lash extensions. (!!) They took a couple hours to put on but well worth the wait. I fell asleep anyhow, lol. They lasted about 5 weeks before they started falling off and I came back for a fill. Well worth it. No more mascara? Yes please. Then I came to her new spa spot in san mateo for a facial. It was great and she totally recognized the issues I had with skin spots from too much sun. And today i just got my very first chemical peel. Fully expected to be in pain, looking like a freak show after -- but i wasnt! Everything was good! It took only about 20-30 minutes total and I'm loving the results so far! I cant wait to come back for my second in the 3 series I purchased. Well worth the cost!! I am loving my younger looking skin!

I've been getting facials and other services from both Kristen's for years (Kristen Marie & Kristen…read moreDudum). They are both amazing!!! They are so gentle and inform you of the process every step of the way. You can easily book with them on their website. Their location in San Mateo is easy to find and has an ample amount of street parking. Inside their rooms, it is very peaceful and relaxing. Some of the services I have tried from them have been - nano-infusion, derma planning, peels, back facials, regular custom facials and most recently a hydraderm facial, which was great! I've always had problem skin and it's honestly never looked better. I've even gotten compliments for the first time in years. As an added bonus, they have a stamp card so you can receive a service for 25% on your 6th visit. Thank you so much, Kristen & Kristen!!
