Absolutely phenomenal facial from Bill. My mom (who is a regular client) purchased a 1 hour facial for me for my birthday. I've only had 1 facial in my life ‍ so I wasn't sure what to expect. This was beyond my wildest expectations! Such a serene setting with the beautiful piano music playing. All of the "scents" of the products from almond to cucumber, grapefruit to orange and so much more, were just exquisite! Hot towels, cold towels, at least 8 different "mini session" facials and the massage that's done throughout was just sublime. Absolutely worth every penny! read more

About Face - Skin Care Near Me - San Diego, California

Haven't been waxed in decades. I used to go to Bill years ago when I was younger. I recently moved out of town so I wanted to be fresh in a new town. I still come down to San Diego a couple times a month so I hit up Bill by email to see if he was open and was happy he was still in business. So I scheduled an appointment and requested the Zillian. Love the new location. Bill is very professional and efficient. I was done with my Zillian within 20 minutes. read more

Bill is not only amazing at what he does but he's such a sweet and friendly person who loves his job and really does care about his clients. I had a facial and some waxing and my skin looked great afterwards. I also purchased the products he recommended me and my skin still looks great 6 weeks later. I honestly can't wait to go back for another facial treatment. He is just AMAZING and I highly recommend him!!! Thank you Bill!! read more

Wow, what an amazing experience! I'd never had a facial before so I was a true virgin to the experience. And now I think I'm hooked. Oh so relaxing! Cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing, massage......Mmm....I would highly recommend About Face. Everyone deserves to treat themselves--what a great relief from the normal daily stress. read more

My friend had an appointment and offered me to come a long. This was something new for me all together. I decided I was going to was my nose hairs! Bill was very welcoming and accommodating considering I did not have an appointment. He is incredibly friendly and made my nerves truly go away. The waxing truly was not that bad. I have a beard and stache so of course I was worried to be around hot wax. Bill was very careful and knew exactly what he was doing. The time waiting for the wax to dry is the hardest part. It was over within minutes! Everyone should do it!!! Price was very fair and I know I will be back again. I think it's time to look at other services provided as well. read more

Just finished getting the most amazing facial at About Face by my good friend Bill Winfree. Could not recommend it more especially during this period of high stress. Very relaxing. Only one client at a time, and very clean if you have concerns. Thanks Buddy. read more

I have to say this was my first experience doing a total body wax. Though I somewhat new what to expect, Bill with About Face made the experience comfortable. The overall ambiance of the office and treatment area is relaxing; and his professionalism along with his practical knowledge was OUTSTANDING. As a new client, this made me feel very much at ease. This is the person to seek out when it comes to skin & body wellness. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM !!! I myself will definitely be an ongoing client. Thank You Bill. read more

I can't say enough about how happy I am going to About Face. Bill is a great aesthetician and offers a large variety of services. I've always been happy with the results. And being busy, his online appointment scheduling makes it easy to find a time slot. Looking forward to my next visit to About Face. read more

This place is the best! Great prices and expert service. No frills, no bs, just great service at great prices. Perfect for women and men. read more

I have been meaning to write this review for a while...I get a lot of facials, and I very much enjoyed getting my first facial from a male esthetician. Bill was pleasantly chatty, and I really enjoyed the products he used. I was a little disappointed that he was out of the cleanser, but he did email me to let me know that it had come in (as promised). I had no problem finding parking nearby and while the space is on the smallish side, it is intimate and cozy. Highly recommend. read more

This place is a hidden secret! I almost don't want to write a review about it because then it will get to busy and I won't get an appointment! If you want a wonderful experience with a relaxing environment then About Face is the place to go. Bill the owner is very professional, knowledgeable and makes your treatment amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great Spa at a great price! read more

Had an amazing facial with Bill yesterday, my skin looks so fresh and bright, being new to San Diego I have been in need of a new place to get facials, found my place to say the least. Thank you Bill for the fantastic and much needed facial, I feel renewed:) read more

I was referred to Bill for my first Brazilian, and I was incredibly nervous going in. Bill was incredibly professional and took the time to train me on post waxing procedure to prevent redness and irritation. His suggestions worked, and I just booked my Followup appointment. I'm excited to make this a regular thing. I'd highly recommend any first timer or seasoned waxed to trust Bill's work. He's terrific! read more

Great, fast, and profressional service! Bill really took care of me, and was flexible with timing. I plan to make this my regular spot!

Nice simple setting. Once you figure out where it is, it's super easy to find and get to...Bill focuses on facials, but he does waxing too. It's not a "spa", but you'll get really personal attention and a great facial (I'm a scared to get waxed...and kinda like most of my hair anyway). read more

I have been a client of Bill's for many years. He is simply the best in every way. He is a master at his craft. A few weeks ago, and then again yesterday, I treated myself to a full-body scrub. I'm a fairly articulate guy but there do not seem to be enough words in my vocabulary to adequately describe how amazing it was. It was stimulating, soothing, luxurious, and decadent all at once. It leaves your skin feeling like silk and your whole being lighter and completely re-energized. Treat yourself - you've earned it! I can hardly wait for my next appointment to do it again. read more

I was told about Bill through a friend and thought I'd check him out. I had never had a facial and also I'm a big guy so was kinda worried I would feel awkward and uncomfortable. Well that was a couple of years ago and now I see him several times a year. I always say i plan to see him more but time just gets away from me. His place is small and intimate and that's awesome because I never run into anyone. I always feel like I'm the only person on his schedule and made to feel amazingly like a VIP. I'm not a big talker and Bill is good about letting me relax while he does his magic. It really is like a vacation away from the world. I get migraines with certain perfumes and smells and was really worried about that going in, but I have never had any problems with the products he uses and, in fact, have bought some of his products because they work so well and smell so great. I would recommend this place to everyone, especially if you've never had a facial or waxing. He really is a treat and a treasure. read more

I have beeb going to Bill for a couple of years now , I highly recomend going , Brows, Facials and back wax !!!! bills the best

I have been going to see Bill for years and I have no reason to see anyone else. He waxes and tints my brows and lashes. He's quick, efficient, does consistently great work, and the price is right. Want a not frills, but great Spa treatment? Go see Bill! read more

I cannot say enough nice things about Bil! He really made me feel comfortable and I trust his expertise! I will be back, I already scheduled my appointment so things don't get out of control again! I recommend him for any male looking for their waxing needs here in San Diego! So many waxing places turned me down here in Hillcrest (in my own neighborhood) , because I am a man looking for male waxing services, Bill welcomed me in! Thank you again and you have a happy new customer for years to come! read more

I'm a big guy and had my "nether region" waxed, so I was a little shy going in. I was made to feel very comfortable and everything was extremely professional. I'm a redhead and have very sensitive skin -- I didn't have any breakouts after the waxing and everything lasted for a long time with no irritation. Great experience and I would highly recommend this place to others. read more

My path here turned out to be a true blessing in disguise. I'm wearing a strapless wedding dress and all of a sudden the skin on my back became a great concern for me. I bought a package of microdermabrasions to help fix the problem at Ulan Med Spa. Wait--isn't that the place that closed down? YES it is, right smack in the middle of my 6 treatments over a 6 month period. I was definitely peeved, but then I get an email that we can continue our treatments here at About Face. HUGE difference in my microderm experience. I assumed my skin was supposed to feel prickly after a treatment, but I've had two appointments with Bill so far and I've not felt that sensation. My skin just feels soothed and it's been a relaxing experience. I can see results as wells. Definitely more smoothed out what I was hoping for. I also like the products he uses and recommends. I'm very particular with the way skin products smell and everything here smells wonderful. Even the skin lightening (and I've tried many, trust me..) smells like pineapple. One of the only issues is parking but it's a fantastic location with lots of shops and restaurants. (very close to 5th and University). Street parking only. I look for unmetered street parking just a couple of blocks and walk. read more

Yesterday I had my second signature facial, and both were great! Bill is fantastic, he is friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and adorable. The best thing about the facial is that I left feeling relaxed and looking great. read more

small but pleasant space in the busiest part of hillcrest (think: circling the block several times looking for parking, but hey it's hillcrest, right). i went for a consultation and with barely an utterance form the practioner -- not the warmest person i've met recently -- i was presented with a bill for a $100 facial which i hadn't requested. the service was good, but i would have felt better about the experience had he explained what he was doing and why. or maybe i'm just naive about how the beauty biz works. i wish him well, but i won't be making any return visits. read more
