As an African American female, SunSara skin care is my secret weapon to keeping my 40 something face moisturized, blemish and wrinkle free. I get the microdermabrasion on top of my facial and I swear, three days after, my skin glows. I've gotten numerous compliments on my smooth features and even skin tone. Most people credit the "black don't crack" phrase... but I credit Sara and her attention to detail facials. She's managed to keep me looking like a 28 year old for years. I love her service, have never been anywhere else and would never go anywhere else. She's even asked me to visit other aestheticians to judge the high quality of her work. I told her I don't need to... why go out for hamburger when I got steak right here!? LOL Try her, I cant say enough about her services and personality. She's wonderful! She even has a skin care line that uses all natural products. I use the face wash and repair oil. My skin has never looked better.

Finding Jenny has been an absolute game changer. I booked a buccal massage and facial, and I was blown away. Her technique, the products she uses, and her intuitive touch are truly exceptional. Not only did I leave feeling incredibly relaxed, but she also taught me simple stretches to do throughout the day (even while sitting at red lights!) that have made a noticeable difference in my jaw tension. If you deal with TMJ or carry stress in your jaw and face, I can't recommend Jenny enough. She is knowledgeable, talented, and genuinely cares about helping her clients feel better. This has officially become my favorite monthly self-care ritual, and I look forward to every appointment.

I had a great experience here getting my first facial and would highly recommend this place!…read more The interior of the spa was very cute and simple, making it really inviting as I waited for my appointment time. All of the workers wore face masks and seemed like they kept their space COVID safe. The appointment started off with me sharing about skin care concerns or things I wanted to focus on that day. I felt like she took into consideration my concerns for rough patches and blemishes. After the appointment was over, I felt super relaxed and happy with how my skin immediately felt. Their facials are definitely a bit pricey, but I would say the experience is worth it as a nice way to treat yourself :)

I've only done botox here and it's easy to book and it's a professional outfit. I did botox in my neck and I don't think it did anything but it was worth a try I guess. I also tried in my upper lip to smooth out those lines, and I do not recommend trying it. You will not be able to it properly! The botox works! but you can't move your mouth, lol.

The facial focused on detoxifying the face using a jade gua sha technique, which noticeably reduced puffiness and inflammation. The ear lymphatic drainage was a unique touch that made a visible difference. The session also included a relaxing hand, shoulder, neck, and foot massage. Susan uses Murad products and my skin felt refreshed and radiant afterward. The heated bed was incredibly comfortable and the private setting made the experience even more restorative. Extractions were gentle, so if you're looking for something more aggressive with a lancet or needle, this may not be the place. But for a soothing, high quality facial with real results, this is a standout.

[Review #688] 2022 Yelp 100 Challenge (9/100)…read more I've been a client of Susan Halpern since 2014 when she worked at Murad Inclusive Health Spa (refer to Review #111) where I first started my recurring monthly facial treatments in 2002. I lost touch with Susan after the spa closed, & it took me another 5 years to find & reconnect as a client of Forever Young By Susan in 11/2020. Her "studio" is located in The Face Place & More Skin & Body Care, sharing the space with Linda Hirsch, Cloud 9 Massage, SkinFX, & Advanced Skincare By Marilyn. Services include anti-aging/acne facials (Luminesce, Acne Complex, Sun Undone, Resurgence, Back, Youth Building, Chinese Gua Sha, AHA Rapid Exfoliator, Men's) & waxing (Chin/Lip/Sideburns, Brow/Underarm, Traditional Bikini, Playboy Bikini, 1/2 Leg, Full Leg/Back/Chest). The facials are customized to client's needs & 50+ min. facials include additional services. I used to alternate between Luminesce, AHA Rapid Exfoliator, & Resurgence as a Murad client. Since reconnecting, I've been booking the CHINESE FACIAL GUA SHA (detoxification of face, neck, & shoulders with special jade gua sha technique; combats aging, reduces inflammation & puffy eyes, decreases pore sizes, help speed up cell regeneration, reduces stress) on a monthly basis to clean my face healthy & glowing. The daily life workload & stress, in addition to COVID-19, I really need this monthly getaway, even if it's just a small fraction of time. I'm usually just on time or a couple minutes behind, Susan always opens & greets me at the door with a smile (a huge + in my book that I'm not delayed because that cuts into my paid time)! =) The space is private -- just us -- but I always wear my mask & make sure I'm healthy before going even if we're vaccinated & boosted, & there's a temperature check at the entrance. The intimate room is clean & well-organized with dimmed lighting, comfy & warm bed, & relaxing background music to promote a serene & zen treatment. Before starting, Susan did a thorough analysis (to make sure this is the best facial for my current needs). As mentioned in the previous review, a good esthetician should recommend a different method than your standard MO because your skin changes with age, sun exposure/the elements, etc. Susan ALWAYS does just that at each appointment, adjusting the technique, timing of each process, etc. And if you're a new client, she explains what product & process in each step. At times, I don't even have to point out the problem areas because she spots these changes under the magnifying glass & adjust the treatment to rebalance & rejuvenate my skin. Sometimes Susan focuses more on my face, & other times when I'm rather stressed/tensed, she spends a little more time on the mini massage to remove the kinks & knots in my shoulders & neck. I'm highly sensitive to touch (= extremely ticklish), yet she skillfully maneuvers over these stress points with ease without my breaking out into delirious laughter. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Only 1 other professional, Francine (also from defunct Murad), was able to give me a massage without me squealing or squirming. Under Susan's proficient care & deft hands, the extraction process was minimal in discomfort that I can nap through the facial process when I'm tired. Most recently, I've been awake through my facials to chat in Cantonese. It's so nice to find someone who can speak the language so I can strengthen my Chinese roots, help me with common idioms & phrases, etc., bond over upbringing & familial care, etc. =) Comfort, quality, & care is what Forever Young By Susan is all about. Susan incorporates Eastern & Western techniques to detox & take care of the my skin issues that leaves me with dewy, glowing skin! I highly recommend Susan for your facial treatments. So sit back & relax... you're definitely in good hands (pun intended). ;-)

As someone who's received well over a dozen facials across multiple cities, I can say with confidence this was the best by far. You can tell that she's been doing this for a while from her gentle hands and technique. She asked if there were any areas of concern to target for the session, and catered the facial to my needs. I needed a lot of extractions as I have neglected my skin for a while and she went to town!! So thorough, yet gentle. She went well over our allotted 60min, it was actually closer to 75min and she didn't rush or make me feel rushed at all. It really makes all the difference knowing that your aesthetician wants to take care of you!!
