Another incredible facial with Elizabeth. She is so knowledgeable, professional, extremely thorough with extractions and microdermabrasion sessions, gives the most amazing facial massages incorporated with pressure points (or her hands are just *magic* ha!) because my sinuses feel clear afterwards! AMAZING. I always leave my facial appointments feeling lighter, stress free, face feels squeaky clean & super hydrated, and relaxed. Facials are a treat to have, but they are definitely important to maintain healthy skin and overall well being. My facials are always CONSISTENTLY good. I am a loyal client and won't go anywhere else for a facial because once I find a good spot, I will always stick with them. I also will drive all the way from east bay just for my facial here. YES LADIES, it's worth it!!! :) I have sensitive skin and my skin has dramatically improved since I've been coming here for the last 5++ years. I always book my facials for the entire year. Anita is also amazing so you'll be lucky if you're able to snag her for an appointment bc she books FAST. Anita's is always spotless clean and follows cdc safety guidelines. Another reason I immediately came for my routine facials once they opened up. ALSO.... Great location because after your facial you can treat yourself to a delicious meal. Chez maman! Cajun! Mexican!

The scarring on my nose - you can see the purple spots.

As an update, my bruise did disappear and did not become a lasting scar tissue so I am very relieved. So I'm updating the rating to 3 stars. The two missing stars are for the scare I had from what I presume to be broken blood vessels.

a cute place to put your jewelry, glasses and etc

Dewy because of Gabby. Wow. I'm simply impressed at how beautiful and radiant my skin was after my facial with Gabby. I hadn't had a facial done in 13 years and it was definitely time for me to be better with my skin. Coming to Anita B Spa and being seen by Gabby was a great decision I made. Not only did my skin feel soft, smooth and radiant - but I also felt so relaxed. This was such tidy spa with such attentive staff and with someone as friendly and informative as Gabby doing my facial - I definitely felt pampered and taken care of. Gabby knew a lot about the products she was using for my facial and she carefully explained what everything did and how it was beneficial to my skin. She also helped answer questions I had about products and was just so generous with her knowledge. She also gave me the best relaxing facial massage and neck and shoulder massage - it was exactly what I needed after such a long week at work. I am definitely going to make it a habit to see Gabby for a facial every few months. The spa has really great competitive prices and it is combine with such great service - I can skip out on the monthly mani/pedis to invest in my skin. --Forget that youtube sensation "YoliGlo" -- ya'll gotta hop on the "DewyWithGabby" -- cuz I was looking like what every gal wants to look like after a facial.

I went for a clinical facial and my face is all red and breakout everywhere - cheeks, forehead.
Richa S.

I went for a clinical facial and this is my face 4 days after treatment. Redness and breakout everywhere - cheeks, forehead. I explicitly told the person doing my facial that I had breakouts after my first facial at this spa and to take care. Once facial was complete I pointed out that my face was abnormaly red and was brushed off by saying that the redness will go away in a day. To top it, when I wrote to the business that the redness and breakouts continue and my face is burning- they sent me really bad response that we did eveerything correct and it may be because of your post partum hormones despite the fact that I've had clear skin this entire time. I found this response so condescending and inconsiderate. Never going back again.

The cute pink tube top and the green tea!
Amanda L.

I went in to Anita B Spa for a facial. I booked the day before so it was pretty last minute but they accommodated me! The spa is so cute and in a lovely neighborhood in Potrero hill in SF. I really appreciated the free 2 hour parking and easy to find on a weekday when I went! The storefront is so cute and adorable with very cute stylish boutique vibes. I was greeted by my esthetician Jeanete and was very welcoming and offered me tea or water. I was asked to change into this really cute tube top that pink that was super stylish for my facial: it was so cute! Now I want one! Jeanete listened to my concerns about my skin and did a nice customized facial on me based on my skin type because I could not decide between an acne or luxurious one. She communicated all the products she was using on me and why which I liked. The extractions were painful but hey they're extractions and I hadn't had a facial in a couple years so yeah lots of funk under the skin She also gave me a nice upper body massage around my neck and upper back which I really needed so that was nice too! She also gave me samples to take home which was nice because I had run out of makeup remover on my trip to SF Prices are affordable given its SF and I really enjoyed my experience! I would definitely return again on my next trip to SF!

Some of the glue on my eyelid

This review is solely for a lash lift. The staff were friendly when they greeted me, offered me a beverage, and the technician was pleasant throughout the service. It's the outcome of the lash lift that the review is focused on. I'm really sad to write this review, but I hope others can learn from my experience before going through a similar one themselves. I had a lash lift today and $70 later I left with my lashes uneven and barely curled. Certain lashes are slightly lifted and other sections are not at all. I've had many lash lifts over the last 2 years and I've always had fantastic results at the other spa. I've actually never felt so disappointed with a beauty service as I do currently, after this experience. I came home and had a better look at my eyes in the mirror and my lashes look uneven, making my eyes look uneven. On top of that I found extensive amounts of leftover glue on my eyelids that I had to remove at home. I decided to call the spa to speak to someone. I asked for a manager when I called. The woman who answered said she'd be happy to help. I explained how I was feeling and my concerns to her. She offered another lash lift or a discount on another service. I'm not interested in another service at Anita B as this one went so poorly. I explained that I'm feeling super sad as I leave tomorrow for my 30th birthday trip and at this point the woman identified herself as the owner, but still appeared to show little concern for my experience and couldn't provide any explanation for what may have went wrong. I don't feel good writing a negative review on a small business. I really wanted to love my lashes today, especially for this special trip. Unfortunately that's not the case and I will never return to Anita B Spa.

Ask the Community - Anita B Spa

I'm interesting of keratin lifting eyelashes but I'm afraid to have any allergies, is anyway I can find out before the treatment?

Yes, you can always swing by for a patch test. We usually ask if you ever get reactions from bandaids as the water soluble glue we use could be similar if you do. Feel free to come by anytime!

I'm interesting if lift eyelashes, but I'm a little afraid,can I get blind?

We are very meticulous with the application of this treatment to avoid any discomfort and the product is safe to use around the eye area as long as we are working with a healthy eye.

Does this spa offer milia removal?

We do offer extractions but recommend going to a dermatologist for deep milia removal.

How is the permanent eyeliner? Who would you recommend?

We do a semi-permanent eyeliner that is great for most people except for those with certain medical conditions, we recommend you schedule a complimentary consultation to get a better understanding.

But when Ria does the waxing for me, she makes sure I'm comfortable and I don't feel any pain at all.

I had a spot in NY that I went to for years and never thought I'd find a replacement I loved just as much--until I found Shade. I'm quite fair, and the team here is incredible at customizing the depth of the tan to fit the "vibe" of whatever I have coming up. Whether it's a work trip or a deeper bronze for a beach vacation, it always looks natural and never orange. The salon is adorable, welcoming, and very convenient. I've seen Navi, Lauren, and the owner, Breanne--you truly cannot go wrong with anyone there. Navi, in particular, is an expert at application and makes you feel completely comfortable throughout the process. My tans consistently last a week or more. If you're looking for a solid, high-quality tan that makes you feel your best, this is the place. 5/5 stars!

I've always been super scared about getting a Brazilian despite my relatively high pain tolerance. I decided to bite the bullet by booking with Erin after a long day at work. In all honesty, she made the experience so much easier and relaxing even despite the pain and discomfort that comes from these waxes specifically. Upon walking in, she instantly greeted me and was super welcoming. I used the bathroom before my wax to calm my nerves and walked into such a pretty and pink glittery bathroom! Not gonna lie, it was a pretty good distraction lol. Like any person would, I was pretty nervous but I decided to go for it because of the results. It was so worth it. It does hurt, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. Your first wax always hurts the most because obviously you don't know what to expect, but it does get better after the first strip. I have to say though, what really helped ease my nerves was how chill the whole environment was. The staff makes every client feel welcome, and in my case Erin was super friendly, thorough, and overall such a vibe. It made the entire experience feel a lot less intimidating. They also have complimentary snacks and drinks and initially I passed on them because of how nervous I was, but after my session, best believe I ran to the snack station. As an SF native, I am proud to say that I will be returning to reWAXation as a regular! I am so glad I found this gem. Thank you to Erin and the team for making this experience so much less daunting and a bit more fun!

I chose to come to Nue Beauty because the brow lamination package was a good deal and because of their prime location. Christina really took her time with the service and did brow mapping before removing any hairs, which I've never had before. I appreciate the brow mapping because, instead of my usual arched brow, I wanted to try out a straight brow. This reassured me that I'd get the shape I wanted, and needless to say, my brows turned out amazing. On top of the fantastic service, Christina was a great conversationalist-- the time flew by, and it was good vibes all around. I've already booked my next appointment with Christina for a lash lift after seeing her work on TikTok. I look forward to trying out their other services as well. Highly recommend this spot!
