Lots of scarring going on here.

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU COME HERE! I was with my facial lady for 13 years until she closed down due to COVID.Let's say finding a new facial person is like finding your new soulmate. You gotta trust the person. Long story short, I booked Martha due to her amazing reviews in Yelp. She responded right away which was great. I came in and the place looks so peaceful and calm. It's also clean and she made you wash your hands and gave you socks to wear. I sat down, filled the paper and got a quick 3 mins foot massage. Then she asked to see my face quickly, asked what my concerns were. Then she proceed to tell me that someone else (Miryam) will be doing the facial for me. Stupid me- I should have rescheduled if I knew that Martha wasn't going to be the one who did mine. My fault in that part. I was hesitant but thinking well, I gotta trust her. She did all the procedures just like any facial person does. Now the extraction comes. Mind you, I know my face was not in the best condition. I had several breakouts under my mouth, one acne on my nose, and whiteheads. She literally squeezed all of them to death, including the one on the nose, using the extractor. I don't know, but if I see a big acne, I wouldn't extract it using an extractor. Maria came and did the one under the mouth and left. We finished and I paid. I saw on the mirror and there was lots of redness which I knew was gonna happen. She gave me some samples to try, I thanked her and left. All night long, I was staring on my face and feeling down. I have been having facial for 13 years but I have never, NEVER had my face looking so red and bad. I texted her the next day sending her a pic of my face, and asked whAt I can do so this redness will go away or at least calmed down a bit. She told me to come back. I agreed. When I came, she told me to lay down, she took a look and she said that the one on the nose wasn't clear so she had to squeezed some more. Great! So she did. While she was doing that, I told her how I dont think that's supposed to be squeezed in the first place because it was irritated. Then get this, she had nerve to tell me "it's like a surgery, there's something inside, so it gotta be cut and take it out, use your common sense!" Yeah, she did use the words "USE YOUR COMMON SENSE" to her customer who's upset and frustrated because her face was looking like a mess! So then I replied "I am a teacher and I know how to use my common sense." Then when she's done, she told me if I wanted to come back, I can request to be seen by her instead of someone else. I said to her that I was disappointed that she wasn't the one who did my facial. She kept telling me that she's busy, she doesn't do new customers , only regular, old customers will be see by her. Then I told her that I think her new customers should be aware of that. She kept cutting me off and didn't let me finish my sentence. She said that she's busy, she's full. The reviews mentioned her name (Martha is great, her facial was awesome... etc etc) so it's only fair that I wanted to be seen by her, not her assistant. What gets me even more upset was no apologies or sorry came out of her. The least she could do was to say "I understand you're upset, I know that you're dissatisfied with the service..." but nothing. I thanked her and left. I wasn't going to let her telling me "use my common sense" stay unnoticed. So I sent her a text telling her that while I appreciate her setting her time aside to see me, I didn't appreciate her telling me that. She replied with "I am sorry about that." What did I get from this? Me being upset and refuse to take my face mask off because I am embarrassed of what my skin looks like now. I really hope that all the scars, redness will go away. Just be careful when you come here. If you are new and seek a treatment from her, she might not do it as she only does her old customers. Not fair. I know. Now off to find another facial person who knows and understands my skin. I also left some pics of my skin. PS: she will probably reply to my review saying I am crazy but hey I paid to be seen by her and didn't get that. She would probably tell me that I am a strange person, but I am just someone who deeply hurt by her treatment and wish noone will go through what I went through.

The spa has been in business for over 30 years, and that experience shines through in everything they do. The aestheticians and masseuses are incredibly experienced and professional. A huge shoutout to Vivian, Ting Ting, Cindy, Lily, Lisa, Lulu, and AYing--they are all fantastic! The staff is consistently warm and friendly, and the facility is always immaculate. If you carry tension, their full-body massage is heavenly. The masseuses have masterful strong hands and an intuitive ability to pick up on my trouble spots without me even having to mention them. They get deep into the tissues to ease every knot with perfect pressure. I've brought many friends and family members here for massages and facials over the years, and every single person has loved their experience One thing I love about Jing's is that they continually invest in new machines and products to bring the best technology to their patrons. Even though I have very sensitive skin, I have never had a problem with any of the products they use. I've tried their entire facial menu, and each one is fantastic. The M22IPL M22 IPL is a game-changer for sun damage! It works almost instantly to erase those summer sun dark spots. The BDR is my personal favorite. I feel so relaxed and pampered, and I always leave with my skin refreshed and glowing. The Aquafacial, Biboting, & Special Facials are all excellent and tailored to your specific needs. Pro tips: Definitely call in advance to make an appointment, as they stay busy! For extra special treat, I highly recommend enjoying a massage first to loosen up, followed by your favorite facial. Add on a head therapy at the end for the ultimate self-care experience. You will walk out feeling like a new person! With their year-round promotions and consistent high quality, Jing's is a true gem. Whether you need deep therapeutic work or a glowing complexion, I cannot recommend them enough!

I came in to do an acne facial with peel and I was impressed. I did not have to tell the woman…read moreanything about my diet, skin care routine, et cetera. She told me what I was doing and advised what I should do to clear up my skin. The facial took about an hour or so to complete and was well worth the price tag. She cleaned out everything!! The only downside is that it is painful but there is no beauty without pain! Every product she used was natural and not harah on my skin. She also made sure to ask if I was on any acne medications before she used anything. Overall, great experience and I will be coming back.

I'll absolutely take responsibility for not canceling ahead of time, that part is on me. What bothered me was how it was handled afterward. The confirmation text I received after the scheduled appointment was written in very casual slang, which felt unprofessional for a spa. Then when I explained that I had a medical emergency, the response I got was dismissive and snappy rather than compassionate. I understand policies and no shows, but tone and professionalism matter. Especially in a business centered around care and client experience. It just left a bad first impression, which is disappointing because I was genuinely excited about coming in.

For the record, I have not been asked, pressured, or bribed to update my review, I just feel it's fair to share how my experience has changed. Since then, I've been to several other facial places and estheticians, and none have compared to the quality of facials I've had at Sandra. It is undeniable that every esthetician on this team (including the one I had the negative experience with) is exceptional at giving facials. And, overtime, the positive experiences have accumulated and outweighed the negative one. Recently, I had a skin analysis with Sandra herself. She was detailed, patient, and answered every single one of my (many) questions. The products she recommended have genuinely transformed my skin -- I trust her recommendations and trust her with my skin (huge deal for me!) and am planning on doing some more intense treatments with her. Shoutout to the entire team for also remaining professional and kind to me, even though everyone clearly knows Im the one who wrote the controversial review.

Surprisingly, they did. The lady on the phone asked for quite a bit of information and penciled me. When I arrived, I was greeted by a woman. She had a spunky sense of humor and was friendly and courteous. Her massage was really good, much better than some other ones I've had recently. I had a Swedish massage. She did a great job and it was well worth the price. They do charge tax, and of course, you should tip your masseuse. I would recommend this place. In the past I've had trouble booking a slot, so don't expect to walk in and get lucky like I did. Call well in advance to book an appointment and it will be worth it. I also noticed facial equipment and other services, so they offer more than just massages. Overall, a good place.
