Terra was fantastic! I messaged her through Yelp a couple of days before I needed to go in for a facial and she was very quick to text a response, and fit me in within a couple of days. I could tell Terra took the time to study at my skin, ask about my lifestyle / product habits, and make recommendations and do the facial according to what I needed for my specific skin concerns and needs. I got the acne facial and had a lot of extractions and Terra was incredibly thorough. I love all the products she used too! I have also been feeling so insecure about my skin, and Terra made me feel super comfortable and was very friendly and we chatted the whole time. Will definitely be coming back whenever I'm in town! read more

I don't like to wear makeup and thanks to Terra, I'm in my early 40s and I still get away with it! I've been going to Terra for facials for 10+ years. She is excellent at what she does, has a deep passion for skin care and soooo much knowledge of products and what will work best for your skin type. My entire skin care routine at home is thanks to her recommendations and the products she sends me home with. I will be going to her for many years to come and hope I can get away with no makeup in my 50s, 60s and beyond! read more

I recently went to 512 Skin Care and Terra is absolutely amazing. She's so personable and definitely knows what she's doing. My husband booked a facial for me and she was so knowledgeable with how I should be caring for my skin. I ended up getting a chemical peel and buying some products that she and I thought would best benefit my skin type. So far the products are working and my skin feels and looks amazing. I've received so many compliments from people saying I look like I'm glowing. read more

I've only seen Terra twice for my hormonal acne and Im already seeing amazing results-- totally recommend! I had visited another aesthetician who didn't know how to deal with darker more sensitive skin but Terra was able to jump right in and my before and after photos after just one month made me tear up. I have several more appointments to go but I've only had a positive experience/results thus far. read more

512 Skincare - After one session with my hormonal acne - Skin Care Near Me - Austin, Texas

I met Terra today for the first time and she was such a joy! When dealing with my skin, I was searching who would take my own needs into account and not just push services on me- Terra was exactly the right person. I originally had booked one service a few weeks ago but due to several factors (mainly the unseasonably hot weather), Terra and I decided on a different treatment after talking. She was knowledgeable and kind and focused on what would help me best. There was no upselling or pitches for her services- just information and facts about what she offers and what would work best for my skin. I am excited to start on this skincare journey with Terra because after this one appointment my skin already looks amazing! read more

Terra is AMAZING! She has helped me address hormonal skin problems with a personalized skincare routine and plan of treatment. She has fit me in several times when I had a flare up and needed quick help. She is personal and wonderful! read more

I've been going to see Terra for several years now! I will never trust anyone else with my skin care nor will I ever go anywhere else! She is extremely knowledgeable, very professional and very honest ! My skin never looked this good before I met her! I am a woman, of a particular age, and people think I am younger because of the way my skin looks! I have Terra to thank for that! read more

Felt I should preface: this is written by a dude, a dude who's never had to think much about skincare ever in most of his adult life. UNTIL HE TURNED 29 Then his face decided it wanted to stay single forever and suddenly change from what-do-you-mean-girls-envy-my-complexion to ... help ... Serious adult acne started spreading on my face and I tried FOR A YEAR to deal with it on my own. So read the rest of this review from the perspective of a pretty dire situation: Upon my first visit I instantly knew Terra meant business. She got down to doing what she could that day (extractions ...my god extractions... followed by a peel) and sent me home with a regimen. I think I might have met some sort of medicine woman because she explained exactly what I needed to do and why I had to do it - really straightforward. Since then I've seen her a second time and am happy to report that 3 months later the acne is gone. For the first time in over a year I have consistently clear skin (with some maintenance). Of course, I now have some dark spots on my face to deal with but Terra says she can help and I totally trust her to. You can keep all the fancy bathrobes and slippers and water with lemons floating in it - give me RESULTS! That should be enough to get you in to see Terra, the fact that she took care of my moderately severe case means she can do anything you'd need her to. The bonus is that she's way fun to talk to and has a wonderful personality, I felt a really kind spirit in her! She really just wants to help. ******** That was the review I should have written a month ago. Today I wanted to try an exfoliant she carries and I showed her the scars leftover from the acne. She laid me down and rubbed some magic into my skin because several hours later after washing my face I noticed some lightening in the spots! That was super nice of her and unexpected but like I said ... she really just wants to help. read more

If you're having skin issues, Terra is a godsend. I went to see her not long after my 24th birthday because some serious "adult skin issues" were creeping up. I'd had some facials at spas, but they always seemed to focus on relaxation rather than effectiveness and I wanted something legit where I would see an actual difference. This led to me to Terra, and I seriously have had the best skin in my life since seeing her. She is totally understanding to what you want out of your appointments, listens to your skin problems, and then strategizes on how to banish them. Terra has really simplified everything about my skincare routine and I have never seen better results. Perhaps my favorite thing about Terra is that you can tell she's a genuinely cool person and has your best interest at heart. I gave her a huge list of products I had in my cabinet (that I had spent a ton of $$ on and didn't want to waste) and she was awesome at working my old products into the new routine she gave me so I didn't waste money. Not to mention the first time I saw her, I had so many acne scars that she couldn't do a full treatment, and she lowered the price to a very fair amount. I thought that simple gesture really showed a lot about her awesome character. Also, Terra has never pressured me into buying the products she sells at the office (unlike every spa I've ever been to) and she has little sample sizes that she sells for a couple bucks if you don't want to commit to one product yet. Not to mention she is excellent at follow-up after your appointment to make sure your skin is doing ok and scheduling with her is a breeze. Clearly I could not praise Terra enough, she is amazing at what she does and a great person. If you're having any issues with your skin, she is my top recommendation in Austin. PS: get derma-planing! I swear it is life-changing! read more

I highly recommend Terra! I have struggled with cystic acne and the resulting scars for over a decade. After few results from many trips to the dermatologist and salon facials, I was so pleased to see dramatic and immediate results after visiting Terra. My skin has never looked better! read more

I'm embarrassed it's taken me so long to write a review for Terra. I've been with her for over a year, and she has made my skin the best it's ever been. I used to suffer from acne and overall uneven skin tone. Well, not any more. She truly provides an individualized experience. So much thought is put into her skin care, and it REALLY pays off for her clients. She is honest about what you need/don't need, she checks up regularly after every appointment and she is genuinely dedicated to providing superior service. Not to mention, she has perfect skin and is herself gorgeous, funny and fabulous! read more

I have a touch of adult acne, scars from years fo teenage acne, hyperpigmentation, you name it. I was searching Yelp one day for peels (since using Retin A and a few other scrips from the derm my skin has cleared up mostly but looks dull and just a bit sad) and happened upon Terra and her abundance of 5 star reviews. I'm so glad I did! I saw her about a month ago after looking at my face in a panic (too much time in the sun during late spring had turned me all sorts of colors) and showed up with a request to "burn my face off and start over." She did extractions (including nagging bumps I'd had for ages and not ever been able to get rid of), dermaplaning, and a light peel. I was so pleased with my results I've been able to go to work without wearing foundation. During Texas summers, I consider that priceless. I had my 2nd appointment with her yesterday for a level 2 peel, and am excited about getting my skin into shape once and for all. Go see her, you will be thrilled you did. read more

Terra is a beautiful and vibrant lady who does amazing work!! I wish that I could give more than 5 stars - she's informative, genuine, and honest!! I had fun the entire time, even during extractions ;) my skin looks radiant! read more

AHHH-MAZING!! Let me just say if you have not tried dermaplaning before, get your toosh in to see Terra. It was such an awesome experience and my face feels incredible! Now I am only 27 but realize that now is the time to start taking care of my skin and believe that I have finally found an esthetician worth keeping. Terra was very personable and answered all 1587946 of my questions without being annoyed, she also asked me questions so she could tailor my enzyme treatment to exactly what I needed. She even wrote out what I should be doing as far as a day/night routine. I also appreciate that the products she uses are actually affordable and won't break the bank. I already recommended her to all my friends and can't wait til they go see her. If you are reading this - get off the computer and go see Terra, your fresh face is waiting :) read more

I highly recommend Terra and 512 Skin Care. She was referred to me by a friend and I have seen her several times for micro needling and chemical peels. My skin looks great, all at a reasonable price. Terra is concerned about my pain level, which is minimal and makes me laugh through the procedure which helps too! You can't go wrong with Terra and 512 Skin Care. read more

I've been looking for a someone to actually correct my skin, not just get a foofoo facial. Now that I'm in my 30s, figured it was time to actually start caring - but where to go? Terra really explained to me what's happening with my skin now [and what all the time in the sun with baby oil did]. She's the first person to actually discuss the process, what my goals are, and what it's going to take to get there. I've never really done much, so I had no idea what my goals are, other than to age gracefully and she knew exactly what I meant. I feel confident now, much more educated and aware - and she didn't even try to get me to buy an exfoliant [which I feel every spa does] It's a bit hidden, the space is hidden and more medical than spa-ish, so don't expect insence, water fountains and zen like music. read more

Terra is one of my favorite human beings. Not only is she just a genuine sweetheart, she is a skin care goddess. I've been going to Terra for the past year. When I moved to Austin, I was amazed that my usually perfect skin (don't hate, California has a great climate) had decided to pull a Carrie on me and go to complete hell. A regular (now semi-regular due to my consistently packed grad school schedule) series of peels, dermaplaning, and facials with Terra, as well as using the recommended products, has saved my skin. I'm glowy and almost entirely zit-free. Did I mention she's also charming and always available to consult with? Five stars, all around. Thanks Terra! read more

Terra is fabulous! She is warm and welcoming, funny and knows her skin! She takes the time to ask what your goals are for your skin and customizes your experience for YOU. I had dermaplaning done followed by the signature facial. My skin is oh-so happy! Can't wait to go back! read more

I wanted to wait until my facial officially "set in" before writing my review. and now, without a second longer, I give 512 skincare (Terra) a 5***** . Id give her more if theyd let me. Growing Up in Southern California I have had every facial under the sun. From a relaxing, thanks for massaging my feet but im here to help my skin, to being put under anesthesia for a chemical peel after a year of acne program for WAY TOO MUCH MONEY And with Certainty Terra is the best Facial In Austin and in high contention for #1 Facial EVER.. Terra took the time to talk about my skin, my face and what my daily routine was. At no point did she make me feel judged or less knowing. We decided what we should do within the appointment and so it began. She talked me through every step and gave me tips and what to dos. and then the moment of Real Professional truth. PRODUCT. She suggested items I start using and gave me a list. BUT instead of making me buy hundreds of dollars worth of product she said, " you should get the small "sample like" sizes, if you like it, buy the bigger one next time !" I have never had someone be so honest, genuine and kind . And so well priced. Not to mention . MY SKIN (still!) LOOKS AMAZING !!! im addicted ! and long last I have found my Austin facialist ! Thank you Terra * ive had 2 friends go since my 1st appointment and both have been beyond satisfied !! read more

Terra Yeske truly is a skincare goddess. I had my first visit yesterday, and am thrilled with my treatment. I have been suffering with acne for years, seeing numerous dermatologists, without clear skin success. I am visiting Austin, and after reading the Yelp reviews for Terra, I made an appointment. I was so pleased. Terra took time to discuss my current skincare regimen, offering suggestions and recommendations. She is extremely knowledgeable, and understands what personalized skincare requires. We decided on dermaplaning and a skin peel, with extractions. As expected, I am pink today, but thrilled with the smoothness of my skin. I can already tell a difference. Terra spent so much time treating my skin, I couldn't believe how thorough and attentive she was. I only wish that I could continue seeing Terra. I have one more follow-up appointment, and I will be making the most of that visit! I purchased several recommended skincare products, but Terra was very solicitous, and did not push the sales. She even spent time recommending other products that I could purchase elsewhere. As an example of how professional and kind Terra is, I thought that I was missing one of the products, and called her when I got home. Terra immediately offered to replace it, without question and with complete graciousness. Later, I found the missing item, and all was well (expect for me feeling sheepish!). Terra offers personalized skincare with professionalism, kindness, and great results. I am thrilled! Thanks, Terra! read more

I cannot thank Terra enough for the magic she worked on my skin! I had some cystic adult hormonal acne - my skin was gross. After my first treatment and her suggestions of doubling my probiotic (I was on an antibiotic from my derm for acne) and avoiding processed foods and dairy as much as possible- viola! My skin was shaping up! After 4 more amazing treatments (about 1 a month) including her nearly pain free micro-needling technique I was at lake Austin spa and one of the ladies that works there said "your facial has you glowing. who did your treatment today?" I was so shocked as I had not one drop of makeup on and had another treatment (not a facial) done, I thanked her and told her that I see a skin care goddess at 512 skincare. If you have any issues or fine lines, Terra will fix you up! Be patient as she is quite popular but is definitely worth the wait! read more

I don't usually write reviews but sometimes a person providing an exceptional service comes along and you have to tell the world. Terra is that person! I'm in my late 50's and my skin looks amazing! I've been going to Terra for a little over 3 years. Dermaplane, peels, eyebrow tints, needling, hydration you name it she is an expert with a light touch. I wouldn't trust my face to anyone else! Her advice on my daily routine as well as the services and products she provides has made my skin look years younger. I look forward to seeing her, she is fun to talk to and such a warm, nice person. Don't hesitate to call her. Your skin will glow! read more

This place is awesome! I've come for facials, peels, waxing, and eyelash tinting. I'm always happy with the outcome and my skin has been so much better since I started going. All the products I get from her are super good, they are not overpriced and really do work. After years of trying these services all around Austin I'm thankful to have finally find a place I love. Hurry up and book your appointment! read more

Terra is AMAZING!!! I have been meaning to write this review for 3 years. I just had a baby 6 months ago, and had a lot of brown pigment from the pregnancy. I can say now that it is almost gone. She really knows her stuff, and is so easy and fun to talk too. read more

I am hesitant to write a review only because I don't want her entirely impossible to get into. Everyone I have referred to her have become regulars -she is just that good! (And also a really really awesome person- so sweet and fun to talk to). She has transformed my skin. I go to her for peels, derma-planing and latest- micro needling. All of it is sooo wonderful. But I am now obsessed with micro-needling. It is totally changing my skin tone, texture, and brightness. I cannot say enough nice things about Terra and her skin techniques! I have been to many many facialists. I am obsessed with Terra. (PS I reviewed her when I first went to her in 2013 and felt I just needed to review her again.) read more

I found Terra through Yelp and decided to try her due to all the rave reviews (and that she did not push product on you). I scheduled a teen facial for my 12 year old son simply to get rid of some pesky blackheads. When we got there, she knew extractions were my main concern. She said he had great skin and if I didn't want to do the full facial, she could do just the extractions and charge me less. I love that! She sent us home with a free sample and recommended an over the counter face wash for him. If she does recommend product now, I'm more likely to buy it because I trust she thinks he'd need it and isn't trying to just crank up the final bill. My son loved her and she won two more loyal customers! read more

How fantastic is Terra at 512 skincare? So fantastic that after years of being an avid yelp reader, I am finally writing my first review. Not only do I always leave her office with visibly improved skin, Terra makes the whole experience fun and enjoyable that I almost feel as if I just finished hanging out with one of my friends. But Terra always explains what she is doing, what would and wouldn't work best for my skin, provides personalized skin treatments based off of my skin type, all while patiently answering my 2348723462347 questions. What I appreciate the most, unlike most aestheticians I have been to is that she won't push a ton of incredibly expensive products on me and act as if I am making a mortal mistake if I chose not to purchase them. Terra provides the option of buying small trial sizes, and even prioritized the recommended products so if I am only looking to buy one I buy the right one. Terra doesn't even give me a hard time about my low maintenance skin care regimen, or my sporadically timed appointments. At the end of the day, Dermaplanning is awesome, Terra is funny and enjoyable, not having to choose from a long confusing menu of skincare services not knowing which would work the best for you is amazing, being able to trust product recommendations without worrying about being pressured into purchasing is invaluable and an approach I wish more professionals would implement. Basically, if you don't go see Terra for your skin needs, you're an idiot. read more

I've been having issues with my skin for so long and finally decided to try dermaplaning with Terra. I'm so happy now with how my skin looks! It has helped dramatically with my acne, acne scars and fine lines. My skin looks and feels better than it has in years. Terra really knows her stuff! I'm excited to try it again in a few weeks! read more

This is a long overdue review for Terra. When I was pregnant I went to Terra almost every week and my skin was awesome (the best ever despite pregnancy). After my daughter was born, i just did not have a time to visit her. Too bad that now I am moving to LA and will dearly miss her facial. She is so good at what she does, caring, meticulous, and makes anyone's skin so beautiful. She was also so sweet with her gift for my daughter and I enjoyed chatting with her too. Terra, you are awesome and I wish the continuing reputation as the best facial in Austin. read more

I have been going to see Terra for facials, chemical peels and eyebrow tinting for a little over a year now. She has been nothing but professional and knowledgeable about every aspect of skin care. I have been there multiple times and my skin glows after the treatments. Very happy, I will return often! read more

Terra is superb. I so look forward to my time with her! The conversation is always pleasant and helpful, plus she really cares. She's also super generous with products -- it's so helpful when there's a zillion different combinations & options to choose from. I've found my Austin skincare guru :) Hooray! read more

I met Terra over a year ago and she has been providing me with fantastic facials ever since. Her quality products, professionalism and the service that she offers her clients is a wonderful and relaxing experience. The location is a bit challenging to locate but a true gem once it is found. I'm really glad that I have found someone local that I can trust. read more

After reading the reviews from all of you ladies I made an appointment last week with Terra-- just got home from meeting with her, and I'm so glad I did. Individualized attention, great, easy conversation.. She taught me a TON about my skin and put me on a plan to get me to the kind of skin I want! Terra is just cool people and so helpful from a humble (not pretentious) place. I'm sending all my friends to her. She was simply fabulous. read more

Just moved from DFW to Austin and have been stressing about finding someone new for my facials. Lucky for me, I read the reviews about Terra at 512skincare and decided to give her a try. She is FANTASTIC!! Very knowledgeable, very personable, professional, funny, and the list goes on! She tells you what products she is using, but she also allows you to relax during the massage part of the facial. I especially loved how she wrote down the products she suggested that I use AND wrote the prices out beside them so there was no guessing game on how much the products cost. There's no pressure in purchasing them either. I highly recommend her and I will for sure be back in about 4-6 weeks for my next appointment! read more

At 512skincare I receive the best treatments I've ever had in my life. I'm sure others can agree when I say it's hard to find a skincare specialist you can trust. Terra customizes every treatment specific to my skin. From waxing, facials, and dermaplaning my skin has never looked this amazing. read more

Love Terra! I get so many compliments on my skin thanks to her. Professional and highly detailed to my individual skincare concerns. My skin looked wonderful for my wedding. I've gone to several of the other well known spas in town for facials but haven't been truly satisfied until I came here. It's the personalization that makes all the difference. I'm going again this week for the eyelash extensions. read more

Terra is a gem! Friendly and professional. I found her thru an Amazon Daily Deal for dermaplaning. When I went in for my dermaplaning session, she gave me a full consultation and tailored the facial to my specific skin needs. She did a great extraction job and got rid of some skin problems I had been harboring for years. The dermaplaning was surprisingly painless, and my skin looks and feels a 100% better. Definitely going back for a chemical peel and another dermaplaning session. I even bought some products and am really happy with how they are helping me maintain my skin. Very affordable and totally worth it! read more

Terra is awesome! I called to make an appt for an eyelash tint and she fit me on the same day. She did a fantastic job. Her rates are reasonable and she offers a student discount. The place is a little bit hidden, but lovely once you find it. I will definitely be heading back! read more

I'm one of those girls who washes her face with bar soap and throws some moisturizer on. I've had 3 facials in my life and although they where nice, I never really thought about making sure to get them. The results I've been experiencing from the facial and dermaplaning, that Terra did for me, are so lovely! My skin is brighter and smoother. I felt a few tugging sensations during the process and a few hair plucking type tweeks when she extracted a couple of calcium deposits from my cheeks but, nothing that made my eyes water with pain. I am so pleased and I'm looking forward to learning how to do more for my skin...now that I'm 40! read more

Skincare by Terra is fantastic! The woman knows what she is talking about, too. This is the 4th dermaplaning she has done for me and the results are significant. My skin glows. And, I left her wonderful space thinking about all the recommendations she made to me. I am a fan and want to spread the word. Check it. read more
