    Very easy place to find and everyone we met was so welcoming. The facility is so clean and smells great once you come in. They offer you water and treats and make you feel comfortable as much as you can. We met Ben and he's so knowledgeable in skin care and he goes in very good detail what needs to be taken care of with any skin condition we had. I came in with my aunt and we both had our treatment together and it was the most relaxed and amazing experience! I haven't felt this relaxed in my life! Well worth it and hopefully I'm able to come in again! Ben is such a great person and he will do his very best to work with you! Thank you again to all the girls there as well! We appreciate your kindness

    Only $1000 an ounce!

    Ben's Beauty is the used car lot of facials, and Ben is its chief creepy salesman. Like others, I saw an enticing ad on social media, so I bit. Scheduling was easy, the people I spoke to were almost too friendly and obsequious, but even with multiple phone calls and texts they got the day wrong, which I caught and promptly corrected with them. Numerous text messages the day of, and even a phone call at 11:45 for a noon appointment as I'm pulling into the parking lot. I called to be buzzed in, no answer, had to text again; I walk inside their lobby at 11:50, announce myself and sit down. There's a very cute dog sitting with a young lady who's waiting for her mom. I ask if its ok to pet it, she shrugs and the women at the counter say sure, turns out its Ben's dog. When I do pet it, the dog, which is lounging on a couch and had been making eye contact, immediately stares straight down at the ground. This is a sign. Around 12:15, needing to use the restroom, I ask when my appointment will start, the one they literally texted and called 10 times about with emphasis on being there 10-15 minutes early. The text I had gotten that day said 5-10 minutes early, and there I was. There had been no contact after I said hello, except when I asked if they found the paperwork I had already done online, and they seemed to be having trouble finding my appointment. 'No, hey, we're running a a little late late but we'll get you in shortly.' A slightly surly young woman with dark circles under her eyes seemed annoyed at the question. I went to the bathroom down the hall, and when I returned, a tall man loudly said, you must be Hope, I've heard such good things about you with a big fake smile on his face. I countered with something like, from who, and made a jokey remark. He starts to lecture me about arriving at noon for a noon appointment, and how they can't take someone who arrives at noon, they need to be there ahead of time for the 'experience'. I point out I parked at 11:45 and was inside at 11:50 but he did not want to hear it, and asked the surly woman what time I arrived; of course she backed up her boss. Meanwhile, the woman whose daughter was waiting on the couch came in after finishing her facial, and they immediately launched on the upsell from whatever package she had to charge her an additional $2K more. She was a willing victim, but even she balked when they said, hey we can start doing facials on her daughter, who appeared to be about 10. They laughed it off, saying later when she's 16. The 'touch' was going on and on, and I was getting worried about my car getting scratched in the pay parking lot next door with the too small spaces. Ben lost it when I asked after another 10 minutes to inquire if I had enough time to check on my car, apologized to his mark and asked if I could step into another room where he repeated the falsehood that I wasn't on time. He basically said I could come back another time (no way after I paid for parking) or check my 'attitude' -- "You're up here," he said, holding his hand up by his eyes, "and I need you to be down here." Which is actually hilarious when a 6 foot tall man says that to a 5 foot tall woman. I brightly said, "Sure!" Then as soon as I was out in the hall to go check on the car I muttered eff you under my breath, which I hope was caught on the many cameras likely scattered around the place. As for the facial: Ben came in to the room to do a quick skin evaluaton, he's all smiles now, complimenting me on my eyes and telling me all the extras he will throw in. Daisy the aesthetician is nice and capable, but some of the products smell like cheap men's cologne. My skin looked and felt good afterward, but I woke up with a headache which I never do, and I wonder if it's from the electro stimulation device they used on me. Daisy left, Ben came in the room, brought over a mirror so I could see the results, and half heartedly tried to see me a $100 jar of exfoliant. He tried to drop the line about "if you're serious about your skin" to try to push their packages, but I told him I have already purchased a package somewhere else. As if I would ever buy something from someone who low key threatened me! I feel so badly for the women who fell prey to this businesses predatory sales practices, I feel badly for the women who work there, and I even feel bad for his dog to have to live with him. If you like your facials with really obvious sales techniques that attempt to prey on women's insecurities, lots of industrial street sounds from outside, and smelly overpriced product -- seriously, check out CBGardn, which lists a .5 ounce serum for $1500, a scam all unto itself -- then go to Ben's. If not, check out Navi Skincare or literally any other place than them. Please read the reviews on Trust Pilot and Better Business Bureau for these products, and please report this business if you have been scammed.

    I guess my experience here was...fine? But for the price, I would expect better than fine, so I…read moredon't think I'll be back. My skin looked glowy for the rest of the day, but I woke up to no discernible difference. I'm not looking for miracles, but facials I've had in the past I can see the after effects of for at least a few weeks. Some turn-offs: -I could hear someone having a word-for-word, extremely loud conversation nearby the entire time -the neck/shoulder massage portion felt rough. I wasn't asked how the pressure felt once. -after the facial, I was immediately upsold to purchase skincare. I had to ask about the prices. I was also gently pressured to sign up for a monthly membership immediately, which is kind of wild for a first-time experience. I'm definitely looking for an aesthetician to form a regular relationship with, but I don't think this place will be it.

    I booked a facial at Cheeks + Co Pasadena after a friend recommended it, and wow, what a gem! From…read morethe moment I walked in, the vibe was clean, modern, and so relaxing. It even smelled amazing. Even the bathroom felt luxe and thoughtful, which says a lot about the care they put into the space. My esthetician was wonderful. The whole experience felt pampering and soothing, even the extractions (yes, you read that right!). My one teeny tiny wish is that I would have loved more explanation as she went along about the products and steps being used. I would have happily splurged on skincare to take home if I had known what was on my face. That said, my skin was absolutely glowing when I left. It felt refreshed, hydrated, and just happy. Dehydration is usually my main issue, and this facial hit the reset button. Other little details I appreciated were the super convenient parking structure across the street. That's always a plus especially in Old Town Pasadena. Bottom line: if you are into self-care and skincare, this is your spot. I will definitely be back for another facial, maybe even to try a different treatment next time.

Not only is she very knowledgeable about different skin concerns, and facial products, so goes into each facial with care and intention. She goes above and beyond to make the experience feel special from start to finish. From cleaning the face, to a gentle touch extraction, applying a hydrating and calming masks, using only top of the line products. My favorite add on's are the diamond glow, derma-planing and red light. Jenna efficiently provides these add ons for the best results within the facial time. She also has a skilled touch with the face, neck and shoulder massage. Leaving after her facial, you'll not only feel pampered and relaxed, but also loving the results. Each time afterwards my skin is super smooth, glowy and my pores and dullness diminish. It is a real treat / self care expense that is highly worth it. I highly recommend Jenna to do your next facial at Facile for the best possible experience and results. Also check her out on IG if you're curious! @esthie.Spinelli

Let me preface by saying my skin is already pretty good; concerns are light acne scarring and large pores. My skin is clear and smooth for the most part thanks to my acne meds and receiving facials from an esthetician years prior to combat my acne. I saw the ad on Facebook for the first facial laser treatment to be 50$ and figured why not! Seems like a good deal. I was required to fill out medical information prior to my appointment which is standard, I've gotten a laser facial before (4 years ago now at a different place) and they want to make sure whatever you are on medication wise doesn't interact with the treatments. I received text reminders about my appointment and the day of I received a text with instructions on where to park and where they were located. I am familiar with Downtown Pasadena and know it can be a little busy so I made sure to get here early! The place itself is a small office so I can see why being on time is important. The interior was welcoming, the front staff was friendly, the decor is lively with semi private seating areas to have your consultation. I met with Dailee for my consultation and she was really sweet, informative and easy to talk to. She went over the treatments they offer along with membership promotions, it did not feel pushy at all. Bilal was my nurse. He was also informative and efficient in going over what the treatment would do, how it would feel, and how to care for my skin afterwards. Both Dailee and Bilal were upfront on treatments needing to be consistent to see a major difference. The laser treatment itself was very quick and painless. I have tough skin and it just felt like a hot compress was being wiped over my face. Afterwards Bilal rubbed in serum and SPF so I was good to go! For the next 24 hours gentle cleanser, gentle moisturizer and minimal sun contact. I am not able to commit to the memberships or consistency needed so I did not sign up. I also have skincare I already like using so I did not purchase any products. I do appreciated the information on products, treatments, and promotions they offer though, nothing felt pushy. I will absolutely be back to do a more intense treatment for my face and neck.

I wasn't trying to treat wrinkles or remove freckles. If anything, the laser worsened my rosacea and made my already sensitive skin more sensitive. The receptionists/sales ladies were always very friendly. However, the main issue I had was the inconsistency with expertise. I had a different technician at every session and received very different information and advice. One technician literally refused to laser my face that day because my skin was already agitated, whereas previous technicians proceeded anyway. Some technicians (including some receptionists) strongly suggested the "duo" treatment, which ended up aggravating my skin and resulted in a couple of surprise zits. Interestingly enough, the technician at a later session told me I should NOT get the duo as it would be too much for my skin and I didn't need it. Inconsistencies. Case in point. So, while I don't think this business deserves a one star review, I do agree that it's definitely not for everyone. I also really disliked being asked to tip at the end of every session. Despite the initial promo, the treatments were still quite expensive. Call me the cheap a-hole all you want, but I never did leave a tip. I didn't get any results. I also don't tip my dentist and those cleanings require more skill.

O appreciate them doing this and I will return for another facial where I will share my experience and report back. Scammy business. Found them on Groupon and per the Groupon instructions called them to confirm availability before purchasing the Groupon. They advised they would honor the Groupon price. Ok, sure. No prob, I rather pay the business directly. They honored the Groupon price. I added an add-on to my service, which is normally priced at $20, but they charged me $30 for it. You could hear them talking about charging me $30 for it vs $20 since I was a Groupon deal (assuming it's already money lost for them). You can hear *everything* because there is no separation between "rooms". Just curtains. My fault for not saying anything in the moment... Outside of this, as alluded to, there are no rooms so there is no privacy or sense of relaxation. If you don't want to be on Groupon because you won't make $$ off of it, then take yourself off. No one is being forced to put themselves on that platform.
