Imelda J.

I received a gift certificate for a facial hear back in April. I've been meaning to use it and just yesterday, saw where it was located in the Castro. So today was my errand, get laundry done, grocery shop, workout, shower, etc., day. I've only worked out, showered and will be picking up groceries soon. After I took a shower, I figured maybe I'll try and trek to the Castro to get a facial before I have to go pick up my little Zipcar for my grocery trip. I dash out of the shower and ring these folks wondering if I could get in today. The guy said they closed at 7pm and said it was okay if I came in at 4:30 for a "Facial on the go!" facial. Sweet sauce. I checked the lovely Next Bus stupid thing online to see when my bus would arrive. I also had to factor in that I'd transfer AND that the freakin' Outside Lands traffic was an added delay issue. I hopped on the bus and the stupid festival traffic delayed my trip. I got off at Divisidaro to get the 24 to get to Castro, but was none in sight. So I hauled ass (been hauling ass walking the last 2 days because of that little Outside Lands festival ... bastards.) and arrive at exactly 4:30pm! Patrick greeted me and led me upstairs for my facial. He asked if I had any issues or concerns regarding my skin and said that once he looked at my skin under those high beam lights, he'd give me an idea on what's going on. After changing, he came in and assessed my skin under the bright light and said that apart from the usual clogging, the skin looked well. He explained all the applications he applied to my face and was very gentle. He even applied a hydrating mask where he massaged my face to work in the mask because my face has been dry lately (damn Sunset District air!). I LOVE when he applied the hot towel and pressed it against my face. It's SOOOOOOOOOOO nice! I almost want to fall asleep when they do that during facials. Patrick recommended I exfoliate once a week, maybe twice if I'm feeling oily, to help with the clogging of my pores. He said that the dead skin (I'm sure you want to know all this) doesn't fall off so it gets stuck in the pores which then eventually clogs them and blackhead begin to form. Yeck! The facial was about 25 minutes long for the "On the Go!" facial, but it felt longer. That's a plus when getting anything that's meant to replenish your body and mind. You never want to feel like it goes by face because how often do get pampered (ok, me, not so much) and get to just relax?? After he was done, I met him outside. He asked how I felt (I feel awesome!) and showed me the daily exfoliate he used on my face. I paid and decided to make another appointment in a month or so for a full facial as the last time I had a full one was back in December. He had suggested it's good to get a full facial which involves extractions, 2-3 times a year and use the quick facials for regular maintenance. I can't wait to come back here to get my full facial. Patrick was super nice, and very profession. He was more than willing to answer any questions or concerns I had and wasn't trying to push me to make another appointment or to buy products like some people do. Nothing worse than a pushy person, so you won't feel guilty if you don't buy or make another appointment here. You can do walk-ins which is cool and they said they're open till 7pm on Saturday (don't know about Sundays) and stay open till 8pm during the week. Woot! The place is nice. The facial was done in a small room with dim lighting so you feel relaxed. They offer waxing, haircuts, coloring, facials and lots of ego boosting (woot). Now if you don't mind, I'm going to go exam my pretty face now ...

I've exclusively been getting my haircut here for more than five years now. Helen, Nicole, and everyone at the salon are like family now. I am VERY particular about my hair and style and have been widely disappointed at other salons. Now I just don't go anywhere else because Helen is an artist both on canvas and as my stylist. A master at hair design and I feel like I could be in a magazine ever time I leave the salon.

Thanks to Tanya & Dug I look fabulous!

Tanya & Dug are amazing! Tanya gave me a beautiful face & Dug gave me a perfect style for a big audition. I believe they both deserve credit for my booking the role. Not only did Dug boost my hair bounce, shine & style, but he also boosted my self confidence, giving me breathing tips to relax & saying he knew I had the part! Love these guys!

Haircut from Face It!
Doug R.

Helen does a variety of male style haircuts very well and she does it *fast* and "on point"! I got my eyebrows waxed here in the past and they were definitely "on fleek" when I walked out (not pictured here, just the haircut!) They also have wedding services such as bridal makeup and hair - I might have set something up for my own wedding upcoming. I've heard a lot of great things! Thank you Face-It Salon!

Helen and Nicole are great hairdressers. They did exactly what I asked for and gave me some solid tips for at-home care.

All my thanks to Chelsea!…read more Chelsea did the most incredible wax I've ever had. Chelsea was incredibly fast and efficient with time and especially wax placement- there wasn't a drop of wax left on me when I was done. Amazing. Chelsea did all of this amazing work all the while balancing the lounge reception solo. I was nervous thinking about the pain of getting waxed but Chelsea immmmmediately made me feel at ease just by her presence alone. And- lemme tell you, every hair is gone and I felt the least amount of pain from a Brazilian wax. Ever. You're awesome, Chelsea and I'll see you in 5 weeks for my next appointment!

This review is a long time coming. Perri severely messed up my eyebrows. Lashes too, but those are…read morebetter now. I visited back in May and did a brow lamination and tint, and lash lift and tint. I have had this service done at several places before without issue. Upon leaving I thought it was different than i had done it before and maybe just needed to adjust. Idk. On further reflection she must have switched the products or burned them somehow. Half my eyelashes were kinked. Yes i followed aftercare perfectly. Then my eyelashes fell out and at some point were itchy and my lid was swollen. I'm not post photos but have them, and she has seen them. My eyebrows also were like hard and wouldn't move. Later they started falling out too. She gave me a full refund when I send her pics. But this is before everything started falling out. I had to buy a lash serum to grow them back. And then in August I started noticing that my eyebrows were falling out. I thought they were shedding normally and going back to blonde. NOPE! They weren't growing back at all. I went to the dr and it is 100% because of what she did. I now am using rogaine to regrow them. It's taking forever and she also refused to pay for product to help grown them back. It's probably going to be another 2-3 months of me looking awful because of Perri. Have the Holiday you deserve.
