She is the best and she is so knowledgeable and kind. Will definitely go back. I have super sensitive skin and rosacea so very easy to irritate. I feel so much better after. She did a great job modifying for my skin issues. read more

I've struggled with acne since my teens and I'm now in my 40s. Some oral medications helped in the past but the side effects weren't worth continuing so I pretty much resigned myself to a lifetime of breakouts. I tried facials at a few different places in Fremont and wasn't happy with the results from any of them until I found Kim. I wish I had taken before pictures to share because her facials have made a huge improvement! When I first saw her my skin was so broken out that I found myself avoiding social events because I was embarrassed by my appearance. I could tell that things were moving in the right direction after only two or three sessions with her and now that I've been going to her for about 6 months my skin is almost completely clear. She advised that I start using a retinoid product (I chose OTC Differin) and come in every 4 weeks for facials and that combination has been a winning strategy. I'm so grateful to her! read more

I didn't even want to write this review because I don't want to fight for an appointment... but Kim, you're amazing. I've been coming here for facials and I'll keep coming back because the experience is just that good. The space is clean, relaxing, and you can tell Kim is meticulous with everything she does. Every time I leave, my skin is glowing. Not just "oh, this is nice" glowing--more like "people are asking me what I did" glowing. I've tried the microdermabrasion and loved it. It goes deep and really helps with texture. I'd definitely do it again. The hydrafacial is also great and leaves my skin looking plump and refreshed. Now let's talk about the extractions. Yes, they hurt. I won't lie. I have to mentally brace myself every time. But sometimes beauty is pain, and honestly? It's worth it. 10/10!! read more

Kim is just all around amazing at what she does. I love how comfortable she makes you feel and she is very knowledgeable when it comes to your skin. One of my favorite things about her is she doesn't try to upsell you on services like a lot of other spas do. I will continue to always go to her for my facials. read more

My skin has been giving me some issues lately. I've never had a facial before, but I decided now was a good time to try one. Booking an appointment with Kim was really easy--she's very responsive via text. The facial took place in a private room at Sassy Nails. There was plenty of parking, and the location was easy to find. The room itself was clean and comfortable. Kim examined my skin and shared a lot of helpful advice. During the facial, Kim worked quietly. Since it was my first time, I would've appreciated a bit more explanation about what she was doing--especially because my eyes were covered, so I wasn't sure what to expect or when something would be applied to my face. I did ask a few questions, which helped. Overall, it was a great experience. I think I even fell asleep in the chair and woke myself up snoring! The price was very reasonable and very straightforward. My skin felt amazing the next day, and I'm definitely looking forward to coming back. Thank you so much Kim! read more

Very compassionate to her customers, in detailed for all what she observed on your skin to give the exact service that needs to be done,. Highly recommended. She's on time and very nice read more

Kim is very thoughtful and good at what she does. I got a hydrafacial and it was amazing.

It took me two years to finally meet Kim. I found her two years ago, made an appointment but ended up with COVID. Kim is really nice and understanding. She only takes in appointments since she rents a room out of a nail salon. She's also pretty responsive to emails and texting. I love that she looked at my skin and made the appropriate recommendations. She didn't try to up sell so I really appreciated it. I'm definitely coming back and made a promise to myself to treat myself more often. read more

Kim is super sweet and nice, I came for a facial for first time. I got the hydraderma with extraction. The steam was hard to breath but it makes your skin moisturized and pores open up easier for extraction. The extraction can be painful but your pores are super clean afterwards. The best part was the mask, I fell asleep. Overall, my skin felt super clean afterwards and it was a good price if paying cash. read more

What a great find for a local facial! Kim is so friendly and honest in her evaluation of what facial would best suit your skin type / needs. It was my first time getting a hydro facial and I will DEFINITELY be coming back! She spent way more than the allotted time and my skin looked totally rejuvenated after!! FYI she does offer a cash discount so keep that in mind to save a few bucks. Will definitely be returning :) read more

So impressed with my first experience today! Kim was really understanding of my sensitive skin, she knows what she is doing! My face felt brighter, clean and lighter after the treatment:) Will be going back!! read more

I brought my mom here for a facial and Kim did an amazing job! She was super sweet, thorough, and got majority of the blackheads out. We'll be coming back here again. read more

Booked a hydra dermabrasion + acne facial for my dry, acne-prone, sensitive skin & I had a lovely experience. My face feels so clean & hydrated. Kim is a very sweet & genuine lady, doesn't try to upsell you anything. Amazing service & reasonable pricing. Will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you chi Kim! read more

Kim was super nice and accommodating! This was my first time getting a facial ever and it was an amazing experience thanks to Kim. My skin looks great! read more

Read up on reviews and sent my son here. He has seen great improvement from his facials. Thank You!

My wife went today to see Kim actually and she came back home very pleased. She said her face feel good. She got a great assessment. The place was very nice. Very quiet and clean. The service she requested was a facial and she did an excellent job and it was very relaxing for her. She came back home very pleased It's definitely a 5 Star Pl. cash is recommended though. read more

Located inside Sassy nail salon- east to book online & then text. She did a fantastic job with me- I haven't had a facial in ages after my former person moved away. Definitely notice improvements in my skin afterwards & will be back. She's also super punctual & nice makes you comfortable. Very fairly priced - I'll be back. read more

This review is long by overdue! I came here for a hydrafacial a few months ago and Kim made my skin glow! I was also pregnant and my skin was sensitive, so she made sure to take that into account and use more gentle settings. I really enjoyed the experience and I actually ended up leaving this review because I came back to book an appointment for my mom! read more

I found Kim through yelp and went to her for hydrafacial with dermabrasion. she is very professional and calm and never tries to upsell. she explained each step when asked and kept in mind my comfort, never rushed. i felt very comfortable and clay mask at end was cheery on top. she doesn't take tip and gives ideas on how to care for skin. happy to have found someone who provides great service at a reasonable price ! read more

I had my first Hydra Dermabrasion facial with Kim. Before the appointment, I went to the gym and washed my face, which Kim noticed made my skin sensitive. She recommended that I not wash my face before the appointment so that she could clean off the dirt and sweat during the facial. The experience was gentle and painless, and she did a great job cleaning the blackheads on my nose. Kim communicates each step she is doing so you're not surprised. Additionally, she performed an oxygen treatment afterward at no additional cost, which had a nice cooling effect. She doesn't pressure you to buy products or ask when you'll come back, and she gives good recommendations for your skincare routine. Overall, I had a great experience with her. The facial lasted about 70 minutes. Kim is dedicated to ensuring her clients have healthy, glowing skin, and goes the extra mile for them. I'll definitely come back to try her other facials! The facial costs $99 if paid by cash, and $130 if paid by card. Don't forget to bring cash. read more

This was my first time getting a facial with Kim and my experience was amazing! Kim is very responsiveness and understanding when making an appointment. It is located in sassy nail spa and there is a good amount of parking. The vibe of the place was calm and right as I came in she went straight to work. She told me what facial would be best for me and she did a great job. She also recommended what products I need to use to maintain my skin. I got the acne hydra dermabrasion it's $99 with cash but $120 with credit. Will definitely be coming back again! read more

Since it's been a few years since I had a facial, I decided to check Yelp to see if I can find someone closer to home. I settled with this place because of its location and it has really good reviews. I originally emailed Kim to make an appointment but it seems like she prefers text or a phone call. After a few text messages back and forth, I was able to get an appointment in the same week. When I arrived for my facial, my face was irritated from a new face cream that I had recently used. I told Kim what happened and she immediately recommended a particular facial for me. After the facial was done, Kim told me what to do to reduce the irritation. For the facial, I paid with cash because it was much cheaper than paying with a credit card. I also tried to pay tips but she won't accept it. read more

I wanted to find an affordable place that did hydrafacials and acne treatments. I usually develop a lot of milia that develops around my eyes and temple. I somehow found Kim through yelp a year ago and went to my first appointment. She was super nice and was able to extract all of my milia. I've gone to her a couple of times and I always feel so relaxed that I fall asleep at the end. I've tried to give her a bigger tip multiple times but she never takes it and even gave me a small discount for having to wait. I highly recommend her for her facials! read more

My wife wanted me to try facial treatment and I obliged. She recommended a Facial by Kim since she has been a regular there. It's located at Cedar Blvd in Newark. My wife did the scheduling with Kim and I went for my appointment. Parking is convenient since it's located in an establishment. She is located inside a saloon but she has her own business and is not associated with the saloon. She will be greeting you at the counter once you arrive for your appointment. Kim is a very nice person. She guided me to the room and after taking off my jacket and pair of shoes, I lie down in a comfortable lounge. Kim had a special offer for facial treatment this month and I took the hydra dermabrasion with facial. The facial treatment was very comforting. She mentioned to me that If I feel that the treatment is not comfortable, to let her know and she will stop. I did not feel any discomfort and told her that I did not feel any pain. The treatment lasted 80 minutes. Lying down for 80 mins while she was rubbing, massaging, and using state of art facial equipment on my face was an experience. After it was done, my face felt rejuvenated and fresh. Kim told me that she cleaned my face and also noticed that my face is sensitive. She advised me to use B5 serum since my face is always exposed to sunlight. I felt my face was cleansed and softer. I liked how my face felt after the treatment. From now on, I will make it a habit to have my facial treatment with Kim. I'm glad that my wife recommended her to me. I will make sure that when she gets her treatment, I will also be next to her. If you want to pamper yourself with a facial treatment, give Kim a call and she will provide you with the best professional service. read more

This is my 2nd time getting a facial with Kim. My first time was pre pandemic. So it has been awhile and finally had the courage to get one. Kim is a very nice and sweet person. She does a thorough job on my face. She takes the time to work with you and answers any questions you may have. She will assess your face before doing any work. I had a Hydra derma abrasion with facial. This was my first time getting this treatment. It is about an 80 minute facial. This treatment is worth getting. My face felt very clean and smooth afterwards. Kim's prices are very reasonable. She doesn't take advantage of customers and is passionate about her work. Her appointments are well spread out so her customers don't have to wait. She is on time! I would definitely come back soon for another treatment! read more

Can't remember last time I had a facial. Might be my first! Will definitely not be my last. Did a deep hydra facial (??) and didn't have cash (plan ahead friends) so it cost me extra ($115) but it was way worth it. My face is noticeably soft and skin is bright and looks great-even now 2 weeks later. Was afraid of breaking out but not at all. Relaxing environment and Kim was just so gracious and sweet. Her website helped me prep so I had an idea ahead of time what I was intersted in having done but Kim helped finalize based on what I was looking for. read more

Got a great acne + hydradermabrasion facial for $99 (bring cash). I'd highly recommend Kim, because she will go above and beyond to make sure she does the best work for your skin. The extractions were smooth and expertly done, and she doesn't mess with anything that's not at the right stage (unlike meee). Also the price for her work is incredible - I'd easily pay twice that, elsewhere, for the same treatment. As others mentioned, she won't take tip, but try anyways ;) read more

My skin has been acting up lately with terrible acne breakouts and I finally decided to get professional help. After searching on yelp I found Kim and saw that she had stellar reviews. I texted her for her availability and heard back the next day. I never had a facial before and I wasn't sure what to expect but Kim was extremely kind, knowledgeable and took her time on me and I really appreciated it! She also gave me advice on how to use certain skincare product at home like retinol, BHAs and benzoyl peroxide. I got the hydra dermabrasion + acne facial package for $99. I tried tipping her for her service but she wouldn't take it :,). The facial was amazing. She cleansed and prepped my skin before extracting. Extraction only hurt a little bit. Felt like pitches to the skin. After that was complete she used the high frequency wand and ended the facial with a cooling mask, toner and moisturizer. My face feels so much lighter and decongested. Yay :) I will definitely be coming back. Thanks Kim! read more

I had the Hydra Dermabrasion + Acne Facial. She did a very good job and was very detailed throughout the process. Some of the acne was hidden in the corners or under my hair, but she still took her time to carefully remove all of them. After the session, I noticed that my pores looked noticeably smaller. My skin feels smoother and cleaner. Highly recommended! read more

After posting my initial review, I received an unprofessional response shortly. Distasteful read more

Facial by Kim - This is what happens when you post a negative review... - Skin Care Near Me - Newark, California

She didn't let me know that she only receives cash. I didn't have enough cash with me. After the service she tells me that the won't take card or any other online payment. After harassing me for 5 minutes and taking the little cash I had in my wallet she brings out her payment machine she had all along and received rest of the money from my credit card. read more

I found Kim on Yelp about a year ago, and it has been such a great find for facials - close to home and easy to get an appointment via text. Kim is very thorough in her treatments, has a nice and quiet treatment room, and is professional in skin recommendations. I opt for the hydrafacial for $99 cash, which generally takes about 90 min. It's a great cleanse for the skin every other month. Find her inside Sassy Nail Spa! read more

I saw Kim last week and had her Hydra Dermabrasion facial. My skin has never looked so good, also the bags under my eyes look much better!! I highly recommend Kim! Renee read more

Kim was great and did the job I was asking for! I feel like a new person with fresh clean skin. She had every tool or tools to work with. I will definitely be coming back to see her again! Thank you Kim!!!! read more

First of all please note she did not ask me to write this review. And Secondly she took me in the last minute and without prior appointment. She is extremely kind and friendly and helped me understand products that may be messing with my sensitive skin. She did a fantastic facial explaining every bit on the way. She didn't rush at all and was very helpful with planning my skincare routine! And last but not the least she doesn't take tips! Thank you so much Kim for your awesomeness and patience! You are very very kind and such an awesome professional. Never met anyone like you. Thanks a lot for being the best! I will keep in touch. read more

I went to Kim based on the reviews and let me say.. she did NOT disappoint. She was so informative and so sweet. It was my first facial and I got a HydraFacial. It was so soothing in there I fell asleep LOL It lasted a little over an hour and I've never seen my face look and feel so Amazing! I'm sad I didn't take a before and after picture. I actually feel confident walking around without makeup now. My forehead was getting a little red in some extraction sites and Kim informed me she didn't want to extract more so my forehead doesn't get more irritated and it goes to show how much she cares about her clients!! These reviews are true! Kim is such a sweet person she didn't even let me tip her what I wanted to tip her! :( Thank you Kim, I will be seeing you more often!! :) read more

I highly recommend her work. its inside a huge nail salon. Very straightforward, just tell her what kinda facial you want, pay ( cheeper with cash, extra $$ with cards ) and boom, you are done. My face was smooth and clean after it. Drove all the way to Newark from SF, so worth it. Also she doesn't take tip. High quality job on reasonable price. Also gives you tips and advice for better skin care. I'm planning to go here regularly. read more

Location: off stevenson 880 exit, it's in the same plaza as the BonChon and a 7-Eleven. Kim is located in the nail salon (I forgot what it's called *cries*). Tons of parking, even on weekends. Experience: texting to make an appointment is probably the fastest way. Kim responded to me within 10 minutes to help me set up an appointment. I don't know how it's working right now since we are in another shelter in place with curfew.. but when I went, she was seeing 2 clients a day and was able to accommodate me on a Sunday morning at 10 AM. She was so accommodating with my schedule as well. The facial: I went in asking for a microdermabrasion (which is $100) but she told me that I only needed an acne facial ($65). It was so painful, but she really was able to extract all my impurities. I'd not had acne issues before this year, so it was really frustrating to me and I honestly didn't know what to do anymore, which is why I decided to get a facial. Kim was so helpful even after my facial and texted me a few days later asking how my face was looking, how I was feeling, etc. She continued to text me even after a month. SO SWEET. I will definitely be back when I need another facial. read more

Facial by Kim - Acne facial :) - Skin Care Near Me - Newark, California

Kim was super sweet and informative during the entire session! I got the hydra facial with acne removal during their promotion, so total was $99. I have some stubborn milia around my eyes and Kim kindly offered to remove it. It doesn't look like the milia is fully gone, but I'd say it was a little less noticeable. Afterwards, my skin felt super soft and since it was a hydra facial, my skin wasn't red or irritated at all! read more

2nd time getting a Facial by Kim. She is so sweet and very informative. She will recommend what treatment is best for your skin and give you recommendations on what you need to start using without selling anything to you. read more
