She gave me a full breakdown of my skin, explained what I need to work on, and also pointed out some positives about my skin, which was such a bonus and made me feel great. I woke up the morning after my facial feeling and looking refreshed, with the extra glow I needed. I truly can't wait to come back and pick up my skincare routine. Ladies, invest in your skincare! We can spend money on vacations and designer clothes, but putting money into your skin and health is worth it. Thank you so much, Maisha and Lauren. I'll definitely be back!

My eyes were a little asymmetrical and droopy, and she did a little trick with botox that made them look so much more lifted and even. She also plumped my lips with a little filler and they turned out pouty and natural looking! They did take a little longer to settle than what I'm used to, but the shape is my favorite. Sarah, I will be seeing you every 3-6 months as long as you're in practice! Thank you!

She talked me into coming to get a facial and I had no idea what to expect. It's been years since I had a facial. KK was suppose to do my facial, but wasn't available so CiCi (or spelt CeCe) took care of me instead. Yo! The facial hurt like hell! Had me tearing up, lol. It was painful, but my face felt so nice and clean afterwards! CiCI was very nice and sweet. She was honest and very knowledgeable. She showed me the paper with my ugly pores and gunk, lol. It was disgusting. We even joked around a bit too! I have a lot of tattoos and I mentioned how the facial hurts more than getting a tattoo, lol. But the massage was very comfortable and relaxing. The entire process was overall excellent and I enjoyed it. I caught myself dozing off a few times. Yes, my face was red after but also glowing. CiCi also said that I have some skin tags she can pluck or laser them off next time. She mentioned there is numbing cream which I'll probably need. I heard it's painful, lol. I'm scared. But I'll have to come see CiCi again soon! Thank you! Highly recommend! I can't say how much it was because I don't even know since it was my mom's treat.

Beauty Legend is one of the best establishments -- professional, experienced staff, and incredible…read moreresults. What I love about Beauty Legend is that the staff is amazing -- knowledgeable, evaluating your skin and explaining what is being done and what is recommended. No pushy sales, no pushy products -- just simply caring for your skin and recommending what would work for your skin type! As the facials are solely dependent on your skin type -- the focus caters to the person. For me, my facial started with steam, exfoliating, extraction of black heads and pores, following a neck and head massage. And then, masking and hydration. Products used are hydrating for my skin. I also had other areas that I wanted to focus on my skin and my concerns were addressed and treatments were recommended. The whole treatment and process was incredible -- the extractions did hurt but it was necessary and my skin feels so much cleaner and better. I truly trust KK and Cece and I appreciate their kindness and care when it comes to my skin. Looking forward to my next treatment -- worth the wait and totally worth the drive! Definitely deserves more recognition; small space but filled with lots of wisdom and experience in the beauty industry; love and care for your skin; such a hidden gem! BEAUTY LEGEND ***** FIVE STARS *****

While it has taken a solid amount of patience and devotion to the prescribed regimen, her skin has been glowing for the past few months and we could not be more pleased. Arlene is the best -- incredibly sweet and easy for my daughter to talk to, she gives excellent advice and educates along the way. She has responded kindly to all of our questions and has clearly put in a lot of thought for tweaking and adjusting my daughter's routine from month to month.

I don't think I could recommend W&W enough, she really makes you feel taken care of. Kim is incredibly knowledgeable and meticulous, and the practice works. I have used the products for years at this point and maintained clarity very effectively (this recent visit was a post-antibiotics breakout tune-up.) I appreciate this place more than I can say!! The peace of mind that not struggling with acne offers is really invaluable.

She has always been able to provide clean products that I use on a regular basis without any fears of acne breakouts. This last time I came, I had developed some acne from a new cream foundation that I was using. So she was able to do extractions and I am currently healing and feel like my skin is already less congested. The whole experience left me so relaxed- from the facial, arm, neck and foot massage with warm towels. I highly recommend seeing her for your skin and relaxation needs in SF, she also has a location in Oakland!

I booked a 45-min back treatment with Shannon, and the experience could not be even more perfect…read more The spa/clinic was light-filled with minimal aesthetics. Luckily their location was not terrible to find, as there was ample street parking. When I walked in, the warm and friendly receptionist greeted and made me feel right at home. Throughout my visit, Shannon shared me with her wealth of knowledge of the various AHAs as well as retinoid products. I love that we were able to geek out on which products to use to achieve brightening effects. She also made some recommendations based on my skin type such as mandelic acid instead of glycolic acid for gentle exfoliation. Without trying to oversell me her products, she suggested that I try over-the-counter Nizoral antifungal wash for possible white-heads that pop up occasionally as well as prescription tretinoin since I had a few hyperpigmented spots that I wanted to fade/brighten. Given it was my first time there, she did allow me to use my credit card to pay but informed me that she only accepted cash or checks to help keep operating costs down. Since my back issues were minor based on her assessment, I did not schedule a return visit. I so very much appreciate her sound and scientifically backed advice (I also follow various certified dermatologists on IG for general aging skin care maintenance); I definitely will be making a visit if future skin issues arrive!

The energy is inviting, relaxing, and filled with the most gorgeous plants (I admire them every time I visit). The music? Always on point. I've discovered so many great tracks just from my appointments. I became a monthly member because the experience, affordability, and results make it a no-brainer. I've watched Hadiyah grow from her first location in Fremont to her studio in Oakland, and now to her incredible 3-room storefront space. She is kind, professional, thorough, and detail-oriented--truly a gem. If you're looking for the best wax of your life, look no further. Highly, highly recommend!
