Julia is the best. I look forward to every appointment - nourishing and relaxing and she's made the space so inviting.

What a wonderful facial experience! Julia is so personable and makes you immediately feel comfortable. I enjoyed the educational aspect, too, so that I can better understand my skin and what the best routine is for me. Julia is honest and straightforward without an ounce of condescension. What a breath of fresh air compared to many facial experiences! I will certainly be back. read more

Great experience for my first ever facial. Julia made me feel so comfortable and able to be open when talking about my skin issues. We talked through my skin care routine, and she recommended adjustments and other products to try. The facial it's self was lovely and relaxing, can't wait to return soon! Plenty of street parking around the building, there's an electronic lock to let yourself into the building and stairs to the upper suites. read more

Julia is a dream. She is funny, knowledgeable and doesn't act like a drug dealer, trying to convince you to buy her goods. She gave me a really amazing nurturing facial, my face feeling soft and plumped up and ready to face the day. She did some extractions, which are often borderline torturous, but I hardly felt a thing. I will definitely return to her, glad to have found a true professional in an highly competitive industry. read more

Came to Julia because my skin decided to throw a fit and boy did Julia come to the rescue. She explained what I was doing to aggravate the condition and was patient enough to go thru my entire skincare routine to make sure there wasn't anything that would make it worse. After a wonderful facial and such MUCH NEEDED extractions, my skin did a complete 180 the next day. Will be a regular of Julia's. Definitely worth the drive and traffic it takes me to see her! read more

Winter has arrived. How do I know this? It's not the layered clothing or scarves... not the cold crisp mornings or the fact that the sun has vanished by five... it's because my lips are prone to cracking and my face feels dry. Yay winter. In the market for a new esthetician, I checked Yelp and settled on Fresh Facials & Skin Care. I called and spoke with Jesseca about my needs. She recommended her "Winter Wonderland Facial" to start. If she felt that I needed a little more, she booked extra time to ensure that we could take care of it. Parking was metered and easy. Her studio is tucked away on the second floor of the businesses, above a yoga studio. She greeted me downstairs and once inside, gave me a cup of spiced tea to stave off the chill. I filled out a new patient questionnaire while she put spa socks on my feet and arranged warm stones underneath. After we spoke about my skin care needs, she left the room so I could disrobe. I climbed into what could only be described as a heated bed with thick marshmallow topping and waited for Jesseca to return. We chatted while she worked, letting my level of reply dictate the amount of conversation. I respect that because I have had sessions with estheticians and massage therapists who chatted throughout to the point of distraction. Her touch was light but firm and I vainly struggled to stay awake. I'm nearly sure that I nodded off a couple of times but I was just so damned comfortable. My skin was cleansed and steamed before Jesseca did a luxuriously lengthy facial massage with scents reminiscent of the season. She then applied a spicy cranberry + oat facial mask. As I sat with my mask on, she moisturized my hands and forearms. Jesseca did a couple of extractions on my nose where the bridge of my glasses rest but left no mark afterward. As I said before, her touch was light but firm. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. In fact, my cousin visited Seattle this past week and proclaimed Jesseca to be one of the best that she had ever seen. My cousin also appreciated the freshness of the ingredients and that vegan masks were offered. If you are looking for a way to rejuvenate your skin or just simply a nice way to relax, this is the place. Or it would make a fantastic gift for the holidays or before any special event! read more

I knew my face was showing stress and wear from pandemic times. I left my first appointment with Julia feeling like I had a relaxed glow after having months of stress plucked from my face. Her touch is so soothing and gentle during the Pumpkin Enzyme facial, plus the products smell amazing like you're receiving aromatherapy, too. Looking forward to her services being a once-in-awhile treat yo'self occasion to fully decompress knowing you are in the care of a knowledgeable and kind expert. Arrive a little early to navigate parking and the entry code doorway to the building. read more

I've been here once and cannot wait to go back! Julia is amazing!! I don't know much about skin care and felt a little embarrassed talking about it but she made me feel right at home and answered all of my questions. I swear I almost fell asleep right on the table it felt so good! Plus, my face looked and felt great after. I left not only with a glowing face but also with more knowledge about how to take care of my skin on my own. read more

Wow. I finally see a light at the end of the tunnel for my 20-something newly acne prone skin. My whole life all I heard was "peaches and cream, you're so lucky..." well I didn't know how lucky I was until I turned 23 and my skin lost it on me. Yikes. At a loss, I looked into glycolic peels. After leaving a message at Fresh, Jessica got back to me pronto. She was the most kind and informative of everyone I spoke to during my "research". She spent a lot of time talking to me about my lifestyle and goals for my skin while on the phone. Because of her warm and well thought responses to my questions, I didn't hesitate to make an appointment. Today was my first of a series of 6 peels with her...and beyond! She really took the time to examine my skin and kept me informed at what she saw. She was very reassuring, made it easy to trust her putting acid on my face :). She groomed my brows while we waited for my peel to finish then did the extractions. Post peel, I'm a little pink but my skin feels soft and isn't irritated at all. I really feel like she went above and beyond expectations. I am so relieved and trust that we are going to get my skin back on track. Jessica made it clear that I shouldn't hesitate to call with ANY questions skin related--be it some weird ingredient in my new moisturizer or what mineral makeup is worth the money. And she offers complimentary blemish control services to all her clients--so that means if something ugly pops up in weeks between appts. I can call and have a professional deal with it. I'll be going to her for EVERYTHING my skin needs from now on. I feel like my face has a secret weapon in it's corner now! Yay! As soon as I left Fresh I called my sister in California and informed her that she is in for a treat when she comes to town for break... Edit: Last of the series today, my skin has done a complete 180. It is like having a new FRESH face! I'm addicted, she is my not-so secret weapon. She is slowly starting to offer more services, so I will slowly start going to her for everything. If it were possible I would trust her with every aspect of my personal care/grooming. This lady is a true healer and you will leave well-cared for, educated, relaxed and maybe with a new friend-your skin will certainly befriend her services. Keep your eyes open for this one, Fresh Facials/Corey Michael will be taking Seattle by storm... read more

Jesseca= Amazing! AAHHHMAAAZZZIING! She gives the best facials I have ever had. Her products are great and smell delicious because they are real and fresh. She makes 4-6 fresh masks while you lay in her fluffy, comfortable, snuggly bed. Lots of spas give these "foofoo" facials that you have to wait to see results for. Not Jesseca. You see results before you leave. She is incredible! Jesseca knows everything. She analyzed my skin, told me about the current products I use and told me what products to change over to for the type of skin I want and results I am looking for. Within a month, my skin was the best it has ever been in my entire life and still is. She also does micro-dermabrasion with a diamond tip. I see Jesseca every 6 to 8 weeks. I HIGHLY recommend her to everyone. I can't praise her skills enough. read more

I'd been searching for a new aesthetician since moving here from NYC and tried this spot for the reviews and that it's not far from me. Julia asked me pertinent questions, noticed right away that my skin was over dried from my products, and suggested I drop a couple. The actual facial was relaxing and effective. My skin was dewy and glowing when I left. Julia has a dry sense of humor that I really like, and the music she played was mellow and pretty cool (not at all like that Enya-like crap some places insist on using). It brought to mind Bowie for some reason! At the end, she suggested I use a gentle cleanser and recommended a $10 one, which made me very happy that I didn't need to go out and spend a lot of money. I am definitely going back. read more

I just turned 30, and I'm still struggling with acne. I've tried accutane (it worked for a couple years only), retin-A cream, and harsh cleansers that dried out my skin. My mother-in-law is an esthetician (in the midwest) and she recommended finding an esthetician I like and getting regular facials. I tried out a couple places, and found exactly what I was looking for with Jesseca. Not only does she give great facials, she also recommended a more gentle facial cleanser and some changes to my skin care routine at home. She has a much more natural approach than I've tried before. My skin is softer, clearer, and I rarely have break outs now. I couldn't be happier with the results! I completely trust her with my skin. read more

I've been coming to Fresh Face Seattle since moving to Seattle 5+ years ago. Julia is an amazing esthetician; she selects the appropriate facial and products depending on the condition of my skin that day. And, to date, I've had ZERO complaints with her work. Also, she doesn't promote any specific product or product-line. This means when I ask for a product recommendation, it's the right product for me. Thank you, Julia, for making my face (and me) feel fabulous. read more

Just got my first facial with Jesseca yesterday. I found this place on yelp. :) I had to call a few times to get ahold of Jess, but it was memorials weekend. It wasn't a biggie. She was able to get me in the next day. :) Jesseca is so friendly. She sat me down and offered me some cucumber water. Mmmh.. We talked about my skin and the products that I've been using. She wrote down everything and was very understanding. She even asked me to bring in my products next time and asked about my pass facial and derm experiences. Then she got me a robe and told me to get tucked into her massage bed. She also told me that her robes run in bigger sizes ^_^ She suggested I tucked it like a towel. Hehe. She got out of the room so I could change into the robe. The bed was super comfy, it was like a bed of feathers. Jessaca came into the room and asked if she could tuck my feet in. Of course she could! It tickled a little. I loved that Jesseca was not in a rush and did everything she thought was good for my skin. She was very gentle in everything she did. Her products are all natural and she even makes some of it. My follow up appt is on Monday. She also recommended a bunch of stuff for me and a new regimen for my skin care. I was happy. Go to Jesseca and you won't be disappointed. Thanks yelpers!!! :) read more

As a guy, I never thought I would get a facial or even needed one. I was wrong. It was a wonderful experience and definitely not just for the ladies or the metro-sexual crowd. The setting was relaxing and peaceful. Jesseca was really knowledge and gave me a very relaxing and peaceful facial completely tailored to my skin. When I got finished, my skin felt wonderful. It looked really good too. I am definitely going to be coming back for more. read more

I am so lucky to have met Jesseca! Or should I say, my skin is the lucky one. I've never met someone as passionate and warm as Jesseca, and its apparent from the moment you meet her. Her facial room is sophisticated and inviting from the beautiful curtains to the vibrant painting on the wall (by Jesseca herself! What can this girl NOT do?) I knew I was in for a real treat. Jesseca has the best touch and is extremely knowledgeable. She is an expert not only about the products that she uses but about any personal issues you may have with your skin. She just wants to help you reveal that gorgeous skin we all have underneath any acne or rosacea! Bottom line is, I am now a devoted Fresh Facials client and will make sure that all my girlfriends are treated to her for the holidays (hello gift certificates!!). read more

The facial I received was pretty great. The aesthetician is very knowledgeable of organic products that will work with your skin. She's very personable and her spa is cozy. I would definitely see her again. read more

Jesseca is a miracle worker. I'm an actor, who recently developed an acne problem with very deep sebaceous cysts. It felt like my face was hijacked by these horrible lumps that would never go away! It was unlike anything I had experienced before. I reached out to my friends and one of them suggested Jesseca at Fresh Facials: I've been going there ever since! THANK GOD for Jesseca! After only a few sessions, my skin was better than it's ever been. She's totally turned it around thanks to her 6 week regime, which took my skin from inflamed, breakout prone, and angry, to silky smooth and blemish-free. It's the most worthwhile investment - literally NOTHING else works. She has repaired my skin and with maintenance, I don't break out at all! Plus, she uses delicious smelling yummy vegan products that make me feel like I'm really doing my skin a big favor. Walking into Jesseca's space is warm and welcoming. I get tucked into the feather bed with the stars dangling above me, and it's like sleeping in a cloud. The music carries me away, and I feel completely safe, happy, pampered, and taken care of. Jesseca has a magic touch - her facial massages are so gentle and healing, I drift away and feel absolutely renewed after every session. I can't recomend her highly enough. The friends who have booked a facial on my recommendation raved about her too. If you're looking for a therapeutic turnaround in your skincare, or an hour of pure luxury and bliss, go Fresh Facials, all the way. You'll be glad you did. :) read more

My facial with Jesseca was so fun! I loved the variety of smells and textures of the products applied to my face, and most of them were freshly blended as I was lying there! I could tell that Jesseca paid close attention to detail, which I always appreciate. The result is that my face is glowing and my pores are squeaky clean! Perfection! read more

Had my first facial in many years with Jesseca last night, and she did a wonderful job- I didn't really know what kind of facial I wanted, so we talked about my skin and what my goals were and went from there. Jesseca did a clinical microdermabrasion session with me, explaining how it all worked as we went, and then followed up with a combination of extractions (firm, but gentle) some soothing masks, and a lovely hand/arm/shoulder massage. She told me about all the products she was using and why (from their source to why she'd picked them for me specifically) but never suggested that I go out and buy them- I really appreciated the lack of upsell; she even suggested some effective home remedies that might help my oily, acne-prone skin. Jesseca is very friendly and professional- intuitive as to the level of conversation that is comfortable to you, and simply provides a very high level of service! The location is convenient, clean, quiet, and very luxurious. I felt completely pampered. I recommend Jesseca and Fresh Facials without reservation, and will be seeing her again. read more

To sum it up in one word - wow. What an amazing experience. It all started when I found myself in a situation demanding a great looking face. A friend had suggested a facial from Jesseca. I was quite skeptical, considering facials to be "a girl thing." I reluctantly agreed to "give it a shot." That was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I showed up for my appointment a bit early and had hardly sat down when Jesseca came out to greet me. Her appearance and demeanor were very friendly, yet professional. She took me back to her room, and immediately I was in heaven. All my senses were stimulated. Soft, blissful music, low lighting, flickering candles, a nice plush chair, wonderful tea, and a refreshing, slightly citrus scent. I climbed into bed and felt like I was laying on a cloud. I wish my bed at home was as comfortable as hers! The heated bed is great at keeping me warm, too. Jesseca came back into the room, dimmed the light, tucked my feet in....and I was completely relaxed. For the next hour I laid there in a state of complete relaxation, far greater than I experience on a regular basis. During the session Jesseca did a great job of telling me what was going on with my skin, asking about my hygeine and lifestyle habits, and catering the facial specifically for my needs. She also thoroughly informed me of what I needed to do to maintain my now clear and smooth skin. All in all, I'd rate Jesseca's facials a 12/10, and I have to say I'm hooked! I've gone back five or six times since my first facial with her, and loved every session as much as the first! Her back treatment is just as great as her facials. My back has cleared up a significant amount after her magic touch! Guys, facials aren't just for women. Sure, I expected to lay there resenting my decision to go in, wishing it would hurry up and be over. Instead, I had a chunk of time to let go, relax, and let everything be all about me. And I couldn't be more pleased with what she did to my skin. Acne, no more! Take my advice: try it out. You'll be amazed. read more

I've been unhappy with the skin on my face for a while, but have not had a good idea of how to make it better. I tried salicylic acid products as a teen, but experienced irritation. I finally thought to get a facial, and, after reading Fresh Facials high marks on Yelp, I emailed them and made an appointment with Alex. Alex was really friendly and responsive from the first email. That was a big plus for me. She also worked on my face for 1 hour 40 minutes although I only paid for an hour appointment. The environment in the room was very comfortable, and I benefited from the relaxation as well as the facial care. I've never had a facial before, and experienced some redness and dryness for a few days after. After reading, however, I think this is reasonable to expect after applying peels, using an extractor, and doing other forms of cleaning. I was pleased with the effect on my skin overall. I would say I was happy that my skin received a deep cleaning and felt refreshed. Probably the biggest benefit from Fresh Facials has been Alex's working with me on finding products and a facial care schedule that works for me. I have a home care routine now that helps me to feel more confident, and that is important to me. My review is four stars because I don't have enough facial experience to compare and give a "perfect" score. I recommend Fresh Facials, however, based on Alex's responsiveness, the pleasant atmosphere of the space, and Alex's commitment to helping me feel better about my skin. read more

I am so happy I found Jesseca!! My first visit was for a European Facial and it is the best I have ever had. She is so welcoming and comfortable I was instantly at ease. The products that Cory makes and Jesseca's knowledge of skin and care are outstanding! She also gave me the best facial massage of my life. My skin was happy and refreshed and so was my spirit. I am also loving Cory's products!! My skin has been freaking out for a few years (once had that beautiful teenage skin that others envied, but it has been constantly acting up in my 20's-30's). Over a decade of looking for products that are good for my skin, and here they are! I recommend that everyone go see Jesseca for a facial, you are in for a treat! read more

I LOVE this spa! Jesseca is an absolute doll. Her spa space is wonderfully relaxing and it's an amazing experience from the minute you step in the door. Her spa table has by far the fluffiest, softest and most encompassing linens I have ever been on and in at a spa. OH MY! You sink in and are enveloped. Wonderful scents of locally made vegan skin products and the wonderful touch procedes. Pure Heaven. It's my spa of choice. And for South Sounders, good news...she is opening in Olympia too! read more

I have only been to Jessica once, but she completely knocked my socks off! To say that I was impressed would be putting it lightly. From start to finish, the entire service was amazing! The atmosphere, the products, the attention of detail put into caring for my skin, it was all fantastic. I was very pleased with the improvements I saw in my skin from just one treatment. I can't wait to go back. read more

Breakout Busting Cleanser, Rosehip & Hibiscus Cream, Tea Tree & Vinegar Toner I have been using the Breakout Buster Cleanser for a several years now and I am amazed! My skin now has an overall better texture and appearance. I have not had a major breakout since I started using it! Paring the cleanser with the Tea Tree & Vinegar Toner has been a great combination I have interesting skin I am very prone to breakout but I do not have oily skin like many people who struggle with breakouts. So finding a product that REALLY works and does not dry my skin out is a struggle. All of the products that I have tried from Fresh Facials and Skin Care work and make my skin look amazing. Before I found Jesseca I thought I could never like my skin or feel good about how I look without makeup on but after all Jesseca's help I can now say with all sincerity that I LOVE my skin and without her and her amazing products I do not think that would have been possible. read more

It's been a while since I actually had my first facial, as I'm planning my second I remembered I HAD to leave a review. First, Jessika is so warm and welcoming. We talked about my skin, what I use and she gave awesome recommendations for products to try (which I do and I LOVE them). I left with glowing skin, a better sense of what products to use and feeling totally relaxed and pampered. Can't wait to go back. read more

JESSECA. IS. AMAZING. I'm an actor, and my skin is incredibly sensitive. I have to wear makeup for shows that often clogs my pores and leaves me not looking my best. In the past when I got facials, the products would often interact badly with my sensitive skin. But with Jesseca, I leave glowing and soft and clear every time! Even when she does extractions, her calming techniques afterwards make my skin feel completely soothed. I notice results immediately and they have staying power. I was unable to go for a couple of months and totally noticed a difference- she is wonderful. Jesseca goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable and uplifted, and feels more like a friend than someone you're hiring to fix your face. She has a new room that I visited for the first time today which is beautiful and bright, and as always the bed she uses is like being on a cloud. She completely customizes the facial to fit your skin needs, and also gives you advice and tricks to keep your skin healthy. Did I mention the amazing arm and hand massages?! I adore her, and will never get another facial from anyone else as long as I live. read more

If your face needs some love, go here! Julia cares about what she does and takes the time to really find out what your skin needs. She has a great personality and made the whole appointment enjoyable. My skin has never been happier! read more

I love Jesseca- not only does my face feel and look great after I see her, but I also feel revived by her sunny attitude! Her products are wonderful, and she even gives you a discount if you buy them at the time of your service- how great is that? Also I have really sensitive skin and she has never irritated it, not the case with other facials I've had! read more

Julia is lovely and she is very knowledgeable about skincare. Better to ask her than google anything! I got her European Facial which felt very nice. read more

Great experience with Julia. I'm very picky about who messes with my skin and felt like she really knew her stuff. Will be coming back!

What a wonderful experience! I went in for a glycolic peel and back treatment to prepare for my wedding, and I absolutely LOVED IT!! It was such a relaxing and friendly experience (Jessica is wonderful!), and my skin came out looking FABULOUS! I cannot wait to head back for more wonderful skin indulgences, particularly because they are all natural and really reasonably priced. A must-go-to-place for skin happiness! read more

My love for Fresh Facials & Skin Care has driven me to setup a Yelp account to give it much deserved (and very much overdue) praise. I've been seeing Jesseca for 1 1/2 years now and owe her complete credit for taking my overly hormonal and acne prone skin and bringing balance to it. Here are the top 3 reasons to make an appointment with Jesseca: 1. She's the best aesthetician around: She's got more energy than most, is truly passionate about her work, and is results driven. I go in there, sit under her ultra bright light that allows her to see every black head and blemish on my skin. She's diagnoses what I've got going on, explains it to me in a way that makes sense and then treats it with whatever peel, scrub or treatment is needed. She gets excited by the prospect of pimples and clogged pores, and she's not afraid to get in there and extract! It's the small things that make the difference: If you have a blemish come up between appointments, Jesseca will accommodate you in her busy schedule to take care of it. She always has a glass of water with freshly squeezed fruit in it (yesterday it was grapefruit, the time before- pomegranate). 2. High quality products: Jesseca, having already created a line of skin care products and knowing every detail possible about the ingredients, has just brought in a new line of products. USPA is a pure organic, vegan, fair trade line--- and I got a sneak preview yesterday, and love the richness of them. Most of the ingredients are much higher quality than those found in department stores with comparable pricing. 3. Results - Results - Results! Although I love spending an afternoon being pampered, if my skin didn't show noticeable results from our appointments, I probably wouldn't still be a client today. Skin care for me has become an investment. I turn 30 next year, and I don't want my skin to age any quicker than it needs to. Skin care has become a high priority on my list, and I fully trust Jesseca and her services to keep me looking young! (Rock climbing and running also help!!) ;) read more

Last month, I had a European facial with Julia, who is apparently the new owner of Fresh Face Seattle. I read all the rave reviews about Jessica, but she's not there anymore. Bah! I'm not sure why, but I've had the worst luck with health and beauty services everywhere I've been in Seattle since moving here about four months ago. I will sum up my experience with Julia like this: You should go to her if you want to lie down in a cozy little room and pay $110 (plus tip) to have a very nice girl put facial products on your face in the exact same way you would do it at home. I had an amazing aesthetician at Burke Williams in LA, who really knew about skincare and actually improved the look and feel of my skin by giving me facial treatments that I can't do at home. All Julia did was talk to me for a minute (it didn't seem like she knew anything about eczema or sensitive skin) and then she asked me to settle in to the comfy bed and encouraged me several times to fall asleep(??). She then put a hot towel on my face, put on some facial cleanser, gave me a light facial "massage," used the same hot towel to remove the cleanser, then wrapped the hot towel around my face (instead of using a steam machine), rubbed my neck a little bit, did about 5 half-hearted extractions, put on a mask, rubbed my arms a bit, used the same hot towel to remove the mask, and finished with a moisturizer. At the end, I thought, well of course she wanted me to fall asleep because if I stayed awake like I did, I would realize that I could have done the exact same thing myself at home! Julia is a really nice girl, but she's no aesthetician. I just can't see why anyone would pay her $110 when you could just buy some Simple Apothecary products (which is what she uses) and put them on yourself at home. I'm going back to LA tomorrow and I'll be visiting my former aesthetician on Friday for a *real* European facial. read more

The best facial I've ever had, hands down! I've never seen such wonderful, immediate results... Seriously, book a session with her if you're even considering getting a facial, it will be worth it! read more

uh-maaazing! not only is Jesseca amazing at lifting the impurities from your skin, she's very knowledgeable about the ingredients in products she uses. She turned me on to Simple Apothecary's products and I saw a dramatic transformation in my skin after a week of using it! My skin is a lot softer, I don't break out as much, and my pores are smaller in appearance, it's... awesome. I highly recommend her to anyone who has acne issues, she's very helpful and is more than happy to answer questions! read more

Great facial!! Got the clarity facial. She asked me about my skincare routine and gave me so much useful feedback! She gave me pointers and recommended some products and changes to my routine. The facial was very relaxing and my skin felt fresh and smooth and moisturized! It didn't feel raw and didn't get very red. I was able to go meet friends after without feeling like I had to hide a red face! But that isn't saying it wasn't effective! She still exfoliated my face and used a very natural mask (that also smelled amazing!). Would recommend and I plan on going again!! read more

My partner and I both had facials by Jessica. It was one of the most relaxing and professional experiences I've had! I had the Chocolate Pom facial and it was divine. I have fairly sensitive skin and break out easily from most products, but not with these. We'll be making more appointments. read more

Jesseca gives the best facial I have ever had, and I've been getting facials for over 30 years. Her products are of the highest quality, her skill and generosity are exceptional, and the results are amazing. Only someone as in love with what she does as Jesseca could do the outstanding work that she does. Look no further. After your first facial, you'll never go anywhere else! read more
