Rosemary has provided my hydrofacials for the past ten years, and I recommend her highly. I have visited her four times yearly and my skin is beautiful at age 75. My skin looks younger than most my age, even my friends in their early 60s, and I intend to continue forever!. Deep cleaning your face and providing adequate moisture -- as well as sun protection -- is absolutely necessary to preserve your skin. I highly recommend Rosemary to everyone. Her hydrofacials are awesome! read more

See all

Rosemary is the best. She is a pleasure to be around and her Hydrofacial is the best I've ever received. I would highly recommend her to anyone! read more

I've been going to Rosemary for years. After receiving a luxurious, and highly overpriced hydra facial from Las Vegas, I was hellbent on finding something similar back home. After a ton of research... enter About Face and Rosemary! I typically receive facials on a monthly basis. I think I've tried everything she's offered. I always get the hydra facial accompanied with something else (e.g. wet dermabrasion, dermabrasion with crystals, or just an anti-aging mask. Each session comes with extractions, and my skin feels clean and baby soft afterwards. I had 4 sessions of the micro-channeling, it's definitely a more aggressive procedure and you do come out looking like a ripe tomato. But a day or two later your skin will be glowing and soft like a baby's bum. Highly recommend About Face to anyone looking for a good esthetician! read more

Rosemary is so kind and knowledgeable about the skin. I've suffered with adult acne for a long time, and Rosemary helped me get it under control!! She is AMAZING!! read more

Rosemary is the BEST! She's been doing the Hydrafacial for decades...long before everyone else, and does it for a very good price. She is so knowledgable and so nice. Highly recommend. read more

This was the best experience. She is very gentle and efficient with her skills. She explains the truth about skin and applies a great knowledge of what is best. I have met my skin guru. Get her Groupon deal if you can. read more

Dorothy was amazing and super sweet! She performed my first Hydrafacial and it was so refreshing! It left my skin glowing and I am already looking forward to going back. Scheduling was so easy and convenient by communicating via text with the owner Rose. read more

Rosemary is the best! I have been going to her for the Hydro facial for many years and it's amazing!!!! read more

I'm very happy with the results of a microderm facial purchased via Groupon. Rose is a calm and knowledgable esthetician who takes time to educate customers about routine skincare at home. There was no pressure to purchase skin care lines, though there were nice products displayed for those interested. I thoroughly enjoyed my facial. Rose made the treatment comfortable and relaxing.The microdermabrasion itself wasn't painful. It stings slightly, but the results are well worth it. My skin feels and looks softer and smoother. I'll definitely follow up with more microderms, and plan trying the hydroderm as well. Thank you Rose!! read more

I have been coming to Rose for years. Always a great facial, always delivered with up most professionalism. I highly recommend this business! read more

Rose is amazing. Thanks for making me feel beautiful, youthful, and getting rid of the dark spots on my face.

Rose is incredible! So thorough and professional. My first skin treatment (facial) ever! Didn't know men got them. Haha. I'll be back!

My skin is absolutely glowing after seeing Rose for a hydrofacial. She is lovely and had a abundance of solutions to share about my skin issues. I will definitely be back soon! read more

I love Rose! She's a real professional and always makes my skin glow. Rose is the sweetest lady and she really is the best at Hydrofacials. By far the best in all of San Diego. I have been visiting her since 2012 when I lived in N County. I live in La Jolla now and will make the drive whenever I need pampering. She is a gem. Book your appointment you will be so impressed with her. She knows her stuff when it comes to skincare. Love her! read more

Rose is a true professional with a soft touch. I came in a little skeptical to get my first facial as a male but man am I glad I did. I walked in looking like George Costanza but walked out looking like Ryan Gosling. If you are a man wondering if a facial is a good idea, I highly recommend giving Rose a try. read more

Like a lot of other Yelp reviewers, I found Rosemary through a LivingSocial coupon. I was breaking out with cystic acne and it was driving me crazy. For those who are lucky enough not to endure them, most cystic acne is caused by hormones and are incredibly deep and painful. If I don't put a lot of benzyl peroxide on it every moment of every day, it usually leaves a strange scar/bump behind. I had about 2-3 of them on my nose (which caused me to panic because I usually get one at a time), I was desperate to figure out how to get rid of them. I was on the prowl for microdermabrasion deals (facials tend to make them worse!), but then came across Rosemary's hydrafacial deal. After researching/looking into it, I decided to give it a chance. I wasn't able to use the coupon until recently and by then most of the cystic acne had disappeared, but one cropped up just in time for my appointment. At this time it was at its worse. Any poking/prodding (like with a black head remover tool) would have agitated it and caused it to swell. Rosemary did her magic and it actually WENT AWAY. I had never had cystic acne disappear so quickly!! Not only is Rosemary friendly and sweet, but she's also ridiculously gentle! I felt relaxed and at complete ease throughout the session and my face felt AMAZING afterwards -- fresh and renewed! She showed me the oils and whatnot that were in my skin and it was really gross (but cool) how much dirt/disgusting stuff was locked in my pores. Needless to say, I definitely recommend Rosemary and the hydrafacial. read more

I discovered this place because I received a gift certificate for a hydra facial from a friend. My first comment is to never judge a book by its cover. It is located in an office-like park. It's not a fancy office park, but there is a lot of available parking. Oh... and the parking entrance and exit are one way. I assume it is because you will have a sharp hill upon entering the parking. It's like going up a roller coaster. Click. Click. Click. So, be careful. Now for the service. I only had one other hydra facial before. It was at a beauty school. Enough said. So my expectation was low to neutral... and then I had the facial. OMG! I felt like I was being operated on. Rosemary took special care to unclog every clogged pore I had. Who knew I had so many? It had been awhile since my last facial so Rose had her work cut out for her. Rose has this machine. It's like a mini vacuum with water. It felt a little like microdermabrasion, but wetter. Then came the extractions. Oh my. Rose should be called THE EXTRACTOR. That part is never relaxing. It's like the necessary evil of the dentist. It sucks getting your gums and teeth poked, but after your teeth feel so clean. So, same premise, but with your face. After the extraction she does one more of the hydration facial pass... and then a nice mask where you and your face get to relax. After the mask was my favorite part. Rose took off the mask by massaging my face. Oh heck yeah!! I love have my sinus area (nose and brow) massaged. Then a warm soaked fragrant (geranium and lavender) towel where you get all cleaned up. That towel was amazing! The service was exceptional. It's been 3 hours and my face still looks hydrated and smells super pretty. I highly recommend Rose. read more

This review is based on the service given and not necessarily the business itself. I came here through a Living Social deal for a Hydrafacial. The office was quite nice and provided a very relaxing atmosphere. Rosemary is a very pleasant person to talk to and throughout the facial, she put me at ease. Once done, my face looked and felt refreshed. However, a couple of days later, I noticed my face was starting to peel and it looked as if some parts of my face had suffered minor burns. I know it wasn't intentional and was due to the products used and the sensitivity of my face. If you don't have overly sensitive skin, then I would highly recommend getting a Hydrafacial, especially one from Rosemary. But if you do, inquire first about the products that she will be using on your face to make sure you don't suffer from any adverse reactions. read more

Have had two absolutely AMAZING hydrafacials from Rosemary! I purchased a LivingSocial deal the first time, then, when I returned bought the 4-pack series of treatments. Located in Encinitas, the office is a soothing, clean and a nice retreat tucked away in a medical-dental plaza. Highly recommend you see Rosemary - she is wonderful! A genuinely lovely and caring person, and a skilled esthetician. My skin treatment was very thorough and she asked questions about my skin care regime and gently offered advice as well. This is where you go to get a skin treatment with immediate results. If you need a spa experience with the robes, pools, and extras there is La Costa for all that froo-froo stuff - but for a true beauty treatment that will leave your skin 100X better than when you first walked in, SEE ROSEMARY. I was so astonished with the remarkable results after my first hydrafacial, I nearly cried. And also: no redness! Just glowing, vibrant skin. Even my husband commented about my skin's much improved radiance and we went out to dinner and I didn't wear any makeup - not one bit! Thank you, Rosemary! I will be back and highly recommend About Face and the hydrafacial. I turned 40 in 2012 but my skin doesn't look a day over 30 thanks to Rosemary. read more

I've been going to Rose for the Hydrafacial for almost a year now. She has lots of good coupons out there for the facial. I HIGHLY recommend the facial. I'm 40, and my skin is not what it used to be. After I have the facial, my skin is so clean and so clear and so shinny, its amazing. Any acne i had during the facial disappears the next day. I would go every few weeks if i could. I love that you don't break out after like some of the regular facials, its the opposite, my skin completely clears up, and she is so much cheaper than many of the salons that do it. She is also super friendly, and sweet. I can't recommend enough to give her a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Rosemary and Michelle did mine and my moms hydra facials BEST facial I've ever had I felt immediately just cleansed so thoroughly my pores were suctioned to perfect cleanliness I felt lighter walking out the door removed so many dead skin cells and black heads I saw the filter afterwards was really crazy how much crap she removed sorry I'm so gross and explicit but it's true ... Go see them they are awesome !We will most definitely be back ! Ps cutest sweetest little poodle I ever did meet . read more

About Face by Rose - Skin Care Near Me

Rose is amazing and this was the best facial I have ever had. she makes you feel comfortable, uses really effective serums and masks and doesn't take shortcuts. My skin was glowing! I'm definitely going back, so happy I finally found my esthetician. read more

My teen daughter had a treatment with Rosemarie and left feeling very well taken care of. Rosemarie was very thorough and spent time educating my daughter about how to care for her skin. Looking forward to having her return and hope to treat myself soon. read more

I've seen Rose five times for Hydrofacial treatments. In addition to all the nice things others have said, she's very knowledgeable and is always looking to keep up to date with the latest information available on skin treatments and care. One of the nicest people I know. I'm looking forward to my already-scheduled appointment. read more

Rose is seriously amazing. For the past two years I have struggled with complexion issues like oily skin and clogged pores, and I have been extremely self conscious about it and have searched for remedies everywhere without much luck. I finally went to Rose for a consultation and microdermabrasion. She helped me understand the issues with my skin and gave me recommendations on what I should do, and the microdermabrasion was perfect. I could feel her extracting everything prior to the dermabrasion, and you can tell she takes her time to make sure it's perfect. On top of that, she uses a product that didn't redden my skin at all afterwards, and I was glowing. I already booked my next appointment. read more

I found out about Rosemary from my friend, who has been going to her for about a year and swears by hydrafacial. She informed me that there was a deal running on Amazon Local and i jumped on the opportunity and got one. Needless to say i loved it, Rosemary spent almost double the time with me performing the treatment. After the facial session i bought the 4-pack of treatments. I have to say, this is not your regular "fufu" facial, where you just get a mask, massage and a light cleaning. This is a deep cleaning and exfoliation of your skin&pores with a special equipment (a machine). Its a vacuum based skin abrasion tip which is loaded with various serums. Rosemary was very informative and professional, made the whole experience incredibly pleasant. On my first visit she did the following: cleansing, hydrafacial, light microdemobrasion, extractions, a calming mask at the end. Made a few suggestion after the treatment how to take care of my skin. Next day after my facial my skin felt very clean, smooth and rejuvenated. No redness or swelling of any kind. I highly recommend this treatment to anyone. Your skin will keep getting better and better and you will get visible results after your first visit. Now I'm hooked and will be coming back over and over again. read more

Excellent experience from start to finish. I walked into About Face to be greeted by an adorable little poodle with pink toenails named Lady. The perfect face to make you feel comfortable and happy. I received One 60-min hydrafacial dermabrasion treatment from Rosemary, she was very kind and professional. I left feeling relaxed, smiling, and most importantly my face was glowing. I highly recommend getting a facial here. read more

there is no one like Rose , her expertise and excellent service and attention to detail is one of a kind .Rose is deeply committed to expert skincare with outstanding products . Every time a wonderful escape for relaxation and skin care . highly recommend Rose !!! read more

I highly recommend Rosemary for all your skincare needs, she is able to customize any facial to suit your skin type. I bought a package of three hydrofacials. I've used two so far and can see an improvement already, I'm gifting my third facial to my boyfriend, which I thought was nice of Rosemary to allow. (Some spas can be really strict about those sort of things.) I will be repurchasing another package and adding the red light for added collagen boost and to help with my uneven skin tone. I do like the cleanser she sold me the first visit. The product helped clear up my breakout and a little of it goes a long way. Parking is easy which is a plus! read more

Hi Yelp!! I had a hydrafacial by Rose a few weeks ago and OMGOSH it was amazing! She was also very educated and passed in some very good information on my skin. I definitely recommend her! I will be returning for a second hydra facial next week and cannot wait. You will walk out very delighted :) read more

If I could give more than five stars I would. Rose is that wonderful at her work and that special as a person. I had a second microderm facial with Rose today and left just feeling absolutely indulged. My first treatment was amazing and hoped for the same today. Today's treatment far surpassed my hopes. Rose is so knowledgeable at her craft and my skin is proof. I will definitely be going back for more treatments! If you every want to treat yourself- to really give yourself a huge dose of self care and love, go to Rose. read more

Rose was amazing. I came in on A Groupon and it was for a Microderm facial and I was interested in Hydro facial but had never had one. She started the Microderm and the machine started messing up. So she upgraded to a hydra facial. My skin/face feels amazing and I'm going to go back and get another Hydra facial at her reg price for doing that for me! And I've already recommended her to friends and family. Results of glowing skin speak for themselves read more

Rose is amazing. Thorough, friendly, and didn't treat me any less or do anything less than because I was a Groupon client. I haven't had that same experience from others around town. She is super professional and gives great advice for my skin. I recommend this place 100%, and trust Rose 100% with my skin. I will be back. read more

I have had the microdermabrasion twice now with Erin Nelson. Both times she was very professional, kind, personable, and accomodating. She is honest and has a no pressure approach that I really appreciate. She also has a peaceful energy as well as a great bedside manner, both of which make me feel very relaxed and comfortable while she is working on me. I leave there feeling very blissed out! The treatments have also produced a better result for me than other microdermabrasions I have had in the past. Erin's treatments are more thorough and she uses a unique method that is more effective. Thank you Erin for the spectacular service! I appreciate it very much! read more

Like others have mentioned, I also took advantage of the HydraFacial treatment special posted on LivingSocial. I am really glad I did because my experience has been wonderful with the treatment and service provided by Rose. Rose delivers her service in a rather nurturing manner and is very accommodating when it comes to scheduling an appointment. She not only provides a great product but gives advice on how to keep your skin looking great. As for the HydraFacial it is unlike microabrasian or a chemical peel, it is less abrasive and within hours cosmetics can be applied. Since i began in September, I have had the treatment done on a monthly basis and will continue with the practice. I encourage those interested in an alternate way to deep clean your face to try a HydraFacial by Rose. read more

Just came back from my Hydradermabrasion, and I was really happy with the overall experience. Rosemary was very sweet and gentle and gave me great skin advice, there was no up-selling or anything. She genuine and you can tell she cares about her clients. I could see all the dirt and oil that was on my face, and I will be back for more treatments. I bought a package of 4 treatments, and will be recommending my bf (who has acne problems and scaring) to go as well. read more

I found Rosemary through LivingSocial and have enjoyed two HydraFacials on my dehydrated skin. The HydraFacial is exactly like the Silk Peel that I unfortunately paid $300 for when on vacation, but it's much more affordable AND it includes dermabrasion to make the delivery of the products more effective. Not only is the HydraFacial an awesome service, Rose is one terrific business woman who will treat you in a professional and friendly manner. I will definitely be back. Pamper your face and book an appointment at About Face... you'll feel like a million bucks (at a fraction of the cost)! read more

Bought a Groupon for About Face and am very happy with the results and treatments. Erin did the chemical peel twice so far. She's very gentle and checks in constantly to make sure my experience is a good one. They use and sell Great products too! read more

I'm so glad I found Rosemary! The HydraFacials are great, and relaxing, no redness after- just a wonderful dewy glow. Her place is low key and relaxing. No fluff or pretense here, just great facials from the owner and I always look forward to our conversations, she is great to talk to with during treatment without losing focus. You could say I'm a regular as she won me over after I was searching for a place to go to for the HydraFacials. She is also informative without pushing products and has a nice selection to try out. It shows that she cares about her clients and what she does. Looking forward to my next visit!! read more
