I've been seeing Sia Kim at Goeun Beauty for several months now, and it's honestly been one of the best investments for my skin. Previously, I was having trouble with breakouts and dull skin even after elevating my home skincare routine. For the past few months, I've been getting the Aqua Hydro Peeling and Plus Facial, and the results have been great! What I appreciate most is how Sia truly tailors each session to my skin's condition that day. It's never a one-size-fits-all approach and she really takes the time to assess what I need before starting. The treatments are so relaxing and since I started coming here, my skin feels much healthier, glowy, and I've seen decrease in breakouts. If you're looking for someone knowledgeable who provides a personalized, high-quality experience, I highly recommend Sia :) The clinic is also very clean and there is plenty of parking in the lot. read more

I got the Signature HighGlow Facial today and it was amazing. The staff are all friendly, knowledgeable, and best off all the spa was clean. I appreciate the free parking in the back and recommend you make an appointment because they are super busy. The treatment was wonderful and relaxing. The only painful part in my opinion is the nose and chin extraction but it was worth it because my skin was firm afterwards. I really did leave with a beautiful glow after the face spa. read more

I recently got engaged and have been looking for some skincare treatments! So glad I found this place with my friend's recommendation. I went in with a consultation and they recommended the high intensity focused ultrasound shrink facial. I can see the improvement right away it was amazing! Gina is the best I will definitely be coming back! read more

I cannot recommend Goeun Beauty enough. I've been coming here for the past 2 years and it has become my absolute go-to for skincare and a truly relaxing Korean facial. The atmosphere is consistently welcoming and professional. Sia and Gina are both so sweet and offer so much knowledge and skincare advice. Highly recommend if you want that glass skin. read more

Just want to update my review. 1) My face still itchy and red. I consulted with MD on Monday and got prescription cream. 2) Met with Gina on Tuesday, got full refund. 3) Gina promised that Joy will get more training in the meantime. 4) Gina offers a free high & goal facial, but due to my skin condition. I won't take any chances to harm my skin again. Besides, MD instructed me to not put anything on my face until my face gets better. read more

Me and my girlfriends have been coming for a facial once a month for the past 3 month! We have been researching about Korean Beauty treatments for awhile and was so excited to find a place close to us. We all had a consultation with Gina, who was very knowledgeable and realistic in her recommendations based on our skin types. She didn't try to upsell, for the sake of getting us to get an expensive package and encouraged us to pace ourselves on the type of treatments we were interested in. For my 40 yr old skin, She recommended that Rejuvenate LDM treatment for 6 months to first get my skin into a good consistently mIntained condition that is ready for more intense skin treatments. And she was realistic in explaining we get the best results from consistent multiple treatments (which is cheaper if you prepay upfront) versus just trying one time. I've worked with Cindy and Joy and Gina. The clinic is small and private and clean and well maintained not intimidatingly fancy. It can sometimes get hot in the rooms, just communicate so they can setup a fan. Its a treat my girlfriend and I look forward to monthly and so far we are satisfied everytime we go. read more

Great customer service, and treatments are top notch! They have numerous facials and treatments to choose from. Coming back for sure.

So thrilled to have a great, lux facial spot in Millbrae/Burlingame! Goeun is so good - it's a Korea-level spa with premium skincare treatments and offerings. They reward return membership, so you can purchase "packs" of facials and receive a discount. Parking - there is ample street parking as it's right by a plaza Costs - This place is not inexpensive, so it's a commitment for sure. But that's how it goes with spas/skincare - you get what you pay for, and sometimes you pay in other ways for cutting cost corners! Experience - This place is the real deal, and they really pamper you. I was super relaxed during my facial, and I got a helpful skin evaluation afterwards with personalized recommendations. Would definitely come back! read more

Joy is the go-to for facials! I have dry skin, and every time I see her, my skin feels incredibly hydrated and refreshed. She's attentive, gentle, and really knows how to customize the treatment to your skin's needs. My face always feels amazing after -- soft, glowing, and healthy. I can't rave enough about the service and results. My skin has become noticeably more hydrated after just a few facials. Always a wonderful relaxing experience! read more

It was my first time there, and I had such a great experience with Sia. She was incredibly kind and very detailed, and the facial honestly reminded me of the ones I used to get in Korea. The manager explained beforehand that her technique is authentic Korean style, and I could really feel that throughout the treatment. I will definitely rebook with her! read more

I recommend Goeun if you want a high quality Korean beauty experience. I have been coming to Goeun for about a year. My skin is not the easiest to manage - it's acne prone, sensitive, combination (oily T zone, dry patches on cheeks). I ordered a package of their Recovery facials, which is essentially "buy 5 facials, get 1 free". I have had my facials done by a few different staff members and have enjoyed each one. I usually have a pretty bad "purging" period when trying different facials or products. However, I didn't experience that here. I even came to Goeun as part of my pre-wedding skincare. I unfortunately had some forehead acne (due to stress and diet) a couple months before my wedding. They soothed my skin and gave me tips to improve the bumps. I went in for a follow-up facial a couple weeks later as they recommended. My skin was glowing on my wedding day. My makeup artist even pointed out how smooth and hydrated it was. The salon itself is relaxing and clean. Lot of parking options available in the front or back. Thank you, Goeun, for being such an amazing part of my self-care! I will continue supporting this business. read more

I'm Korean, so I'm super picky about the a lot of "Korean" spas in the Bay. Many of them are not actually Korean-owned and -operated, but this one is! Goeun Beauty's offerings are very comparable to the facials I get in Korea. The technology and products they use are exactly the same. I will admit, it's definitely not somewhere you come to cheap out; I come here once a month as a "treat myself." I definitely notice a huge difference in my skin right away and after 2 weeks. I've tried the Hifu Lifting Therapy and the High & Goal Facial, and both were incredible! I felt so fresh after lol Tip: They have a subscription-like deal for facials, so if you plan on coming here once every 1-2 month(s) like I do, you can pay for 5 facials and get one for free. read more

Goeun Beauty - Skin Care Near Me - Burlingame, California

This rating could have easily been 1 star solely based on my esthetician, Joy. To make it clearer = this rating has nothing to do with the business, just the esthetician alone. I love supporting good local businesses like this but today was not good. Mind you, I'm a very easy going and simple gal, I don't expect much from people but this was very upsetting for me because I didn't understand the hostile energy from her. I understand the majority of people in the comments section raving about how great she was with them etc, but I find myself agreeing with the person who wrote about her (under the 1 star review on her face being burned) saying she's unwelcoming -- it's unfortunately true. No exaggerations. I came in genuinely excited to get a Korean facial since I haven't had one for a couple years... but the moment my name was called by Joy to go into the room, her facial expression did not show any friendliness or even a smile at me when I was walking toward her. I didn't want to assume anything until it was time for her to get started on my face. When she came back in the room to get everything going, honest to God I felt some serious fakeness in her tonality/politeness when she tried to make small talk with me lol. I will spare the rest of the details because it's too long to type, but I will finish off by saying that the treatment itself was not relaxing or as gentle either. I intentionally chose to remain silent throughout the entire service because I wanted to trust that she would somehow make it better with what she was doing but she didn't. It didn't feel like she cared, it felt like she was doing it just to get it done if that makes sense. Wasn't sure if I wanted to leave a review about this but I wanted to let people know about my experience specifically with Joy, just in case in ends up happening to someone else (hope it doesn't). I wish it didn't go this way but it did. It is what it is tho. I've made it known to the owner Gina immediately after getting out from the room that it was "interesting." I then decided to give Gina a call soon after getting back into my car to fully share exactly what happened, and Gina decided to show care in that moment and have apologized on Joy's behalf. She then texted me to make things a little better and I appreciated it... therefore I've decided to give this place one more try in the next couple months, and Gina will be working on my face from there on. This 3 stars rating will change to a higher rating *after* seeing how it goes with Gina in the next couple months to make sure everything goes more smoothly. And I'm sure it will, but won't change it until that day comes. read more

This is truly one of the best Korean massage and skincare places I've ever been to. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt calming, clean, and welcoming. The staff is incredibly kind and professional -- they really take their time to understand your skin concerns and tailor the treatment to what you actually need. The massage was amazing: relaxing yet very therapeutic, and I left feeling lighter and refreshed. The facial was even better. They use high-quality Korean skincare products, and my skin was glowing afterwards. No unnecessary upselling, no pressure -- just honest care and excellent service. I'm so grateful I found this place. If you're looking for a place that combines real Korean technique with thoughtful service, this is the one. Highly recommend! read more

'고운스킨케어' 에서 피부 관리 받고 있어요. 처음에는 잘 몰랐는데 피부관리를 계속 받으면서 얼굴이 점점 투명하고 깨끗해 졌습니다. 원장님도 친절하시고 같이 일하시는 스태프 분들도 항상 웃으시면서 손님을 맞이해 주시는 느낌을 받았습니다. 한국 피부과에서 보던 장비들을 쓰시더라고요. 추천합니다. read more

I have struggled with acne scars and dark spots for the past few years. It seemed like no matter what product I used, there was no improvement. I decided to give Goeun Beauty a try. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable about skincare. Upon consultation with Gina, I ended up doing the deep layer resurfacing RF fractional therapy and the recovery facial. I loved how she was thorough with the numbing cream (there was still pain but endurable) and she even cleaned up my eyebrows. I really appreciated how no one was rushing but really taking the time to be thorough with my skin. I think my treatment lasted two hours! This place is definitely an investment however they do have package deals. I look forward to continuing my skin journey at Goeun Beauty. Thank you to both Gina and Sia today! read more

Great experience here. Plenty of parking in the front & back areas. Interior is quiet and roomy, with a light & airy feel. One of the rooms has two beds so you can do a side-by-side service. Staff recommended the Regeneration facial because I don't regularly get facials. Includes cleansing, exfoliating, extraction, several masks/ vitamin ampoule, LED, and sunscreen application. Slight brow trim, brief head, neck massage, & arm massage is included in the service. Areas of improvement: I asked the staff but did not receive insight about my skin quality/texture, etc. on dehydration & oily areas; also, did not receive suggestions on skincare products for my current regimen & skin needs. They recommended weekly-to-monthly facials over general upkeep. Extraction component was less extensive than I have received at other places. I am very happy that my face is glowing and smooth after the facial! Skin type: arasa, oily T/ mainly blackheads, rare pimple q3-4mos read more

Came in for a free consultation and they recommended the high and goal facial treatment based on my skin needs and the service itself being the most popular (apparently the machine they use is similar to what celebrities in Korea use). Hannah was lovely and walked me through all the steps I would be going through and also provided some recommendations on products I could use to keep my skin looking healthy. I also appreciated that even though I was the last client, Hannah went overtime to make sure she didn't rush my session which I appreciated given this was a $280 service. I also had a red mole lasered( from their recommendation) and was happy with the results. Would definitely come back! read more

I'm really happy that Goeun exists in the bay area, and that I can get a Korean style facial in the US. I bought package deals for Rejuran and HighGlow Facial (separately), and the price is very reasonable and comparable to Korea. I'm dealing with deep scars (around my temple and cheeks), extremely uneven texture, and discoloration due to having acne during all of my teenage years and 20s, and I'm happy with the results thus far from getting facials from Goeun. They provide the kind of service that actually makes difference and yields long-term benefit (rather than temporary glows). I'm in my late 30s, so it will take some time to reach where I want to be after having deep scars for all of my life, but so far I'm satisfied with the results I'm already seeing after only a couple of visits at Goeun. I trust the Rejuran service Goeun Beauty provides. The owner and the staff are friendly and efficient, and it's easy to make appointments. I highly recommend Goeun Beauty! read more

First ever lash lift with Rachel was a breeze and I love the results. They also carry a nice selection of products. Thank you!

It took me a long time to decide whether or not to write this review... but I wanted to warn people. I bought a package (5 sessions) of the deep tissue facial treatment, which cost me $1,000+ since each session was around $250 + tip. After all those sessions, starting from Feb of this year, my skin got worse, not better. In fact, the worst thing is, I think it altered my skin type. I used to get hormonal acne around that time of month but would otherwise not have other skin problems. I got the treatment in hopes that it would fade some past acne scars and overall give me clearer skin (since I did have blackheads/whiteheads etc). The treatment did the opposite. I now get acne regularly, and some of the acne is cystic acne (whereas before, it would be pretty surface-level and gone within a few days). Honestly, the treatment was quite abrasive: They used laser to basically burn off a layer of tissue, leaving your face super raw after the facial. It would take about a week for new tissue to resurface. I trusted in the process, thinking it would improve my skin in the long-term. And now I know that the long-term effect was that it got worse. I'm so disappointed with my experience and regretful of doing it. Overall my experience was not great; the owner, who recommended the treatment, didn't offer much explanation about it at all -- I didn't even know it involved a laser. Not only that, one time my aesthetician forgot to give me extractions, and I asked the owner. She said that the treatments "don't come with extractions"; except all 4 previous times, I got them (and for $250, I would hope the facials come with extractions). But the service is not really the main issue. The main issue is that my skin is now worse than it was when I started, and I'm probably going to have to consult a dermatologist on how to treat my new acne-prone skin. I'm sure some people had positive experiences here, but be wary of the reviews - they offer discounts if you submit a positive review, so not all of them are accurate. read more

I was searching for a spa that specializes in Korean facials and found Goeun here on Yelp. I booked the High & Goal and it ranks up there as one of the best facials I've ever had. Hannah took really good care of me. After she took my makeup off and triple cleansed my skin, Gina came in to take a look to customize next steps and Hannah took it from there. There was a nice leg massager on the bed throughout the service. She used a handheld electronic device for extractions. I've always had manual extractions before and this was way way more gentle - I was pleasantly surprised. The face, neck and shoulder massage was very relaxing. They gave me a collagen mask and then put me under the LED light. During that time, I received a nice arm and hand massage, and then she put my hands inside individual air pressured hand massagers until the timer was up for my mask and LED. Gina came back in to finish my service with sunscreen, moisturizer and lip balm, and a brief warm towel massage on my back to wipe the massage oil off. The initial results look great - my face has that "glass skin" glow. Hopefully the results stick. Gina recommended some additional services for next time based on what she observed about my skin and face, which I think she got spot on. I do think the Korean style facial targets the particular concerns that I focus on most so I definitely plan on returning. The price point is definitely an investment but I think it will be worth it. read more

The service at Goeun Beauty is great! The staff are all very experienced and explain every step of the service they are providing. My skin always feels refreshed after the signature highglow facial. The environment is calming and relaxing. read more

Went to Goeun Beauty for a facial treatment since it's been a while and my face was a little dry and dull from 2 weeks in Korea's hot weather. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was calm, luxurious, and welcoming. My esthetician Joy was incredibly knowledgeable, taking the time to assess my skin and tailor the treatment perfectly. The facial itself was pure bliss--gentle yet effective, with noticeable results right away. The massage was firm but not painful. I literally fell asleep during the treatment at how relaxing the experience was. My skin feels hydrated, smooth, and positively glowing. I left feeling completely refreshed and pampered. This is hands-down the best facial I've ever had, and I'll definitely be coming back regularly! read more

I've been going to Goeun Beauty for a year now and absolutely love my facials here. The owner is super knowledgeable and friendly, and Cindy (one of the other estheticians) is amazing. Cindy's technique is gentle yet effective, and she gives the best facial massages. She pays close attention to my skin's needs, leaving it refreshed, hydrated, and glowing for weeks after each session! read more

I'll start out by saying I am SO incredibly grateful to have found this place and to have found Gina!! She changed my skin and my life! I started doing facials 6 months out from my wedding to prep my skin for the big day. Gina recommended the High & Goal facial and the Deep Layer resurfacing therapy for my areas that had difficult acne. I purchased a package to save money, and it was a lot to pay up front, but I knew it was a long term investment in my skin. With every month that passed, my extra troubled acne spots faded more and more, and by the time my wedding came around, my skin had never been so smooth, bright, and healthy! My wedding makeup artist had even noticed a huge difference from the trial and complimented me on my skin! I NEVER get compliments on my skin. Gina has always been super kind, caring, and extremely meticulous at her craft. I am very grateful for her and her skills! My tidbit to people who didn't get the results they wanted right away, keep coming back, it takes time for progress! But also, follow the post facial care instructions very carefully - avoid sunlight, alcohol, and sweating too much from intense workouts or hot yoga for a whole week after! It makes a difference! read more

One of my favorite place to go. Their high and goal is a great service if your skin needs an extra hydration. I always love the prep before the machine, deep cleansing and cleaning out blackheads - something that we miss doing at home. Also they massage your arms later which is always a nice extra. Highly recommend it. read more

I've been looking for a spa for facials FOR.EVER.! It is one of those things that you know you should probably do, but just don't get around to..cuz who really has time to lay down somewhere for 90 minutes and just relax other than when you're on vacation?! Well this is your sign to stop putting self-care aside! I have been having some crazy hyperpigmentation and dryness since giving birth - skin issues that only became more pronounced with time. I saw this place was having a soft opening and since Korean skincare products have been really kind and compatible with my skin, I decided I had to give it a try. The space has two entrances, one from the plaza and one off the main street (Magnolia). While I was there there was a bit of construction, so parking in the plaza was definitely more convenient. The high & goal facial was great - it was a bit more "stimulating" with tapping and upwards sweeping motions than your standard rub your face around motions. She also used a ton of tools, temperatures, and techniques that I had never experienced before. It was awesome! I usually wait a day or two before writing reviews on facials because I want to see how my face reacts afterwards. My skin has never felt better!! It was so great I got the package so I can come here every month and commit to feeling a bit better about my face because I'm doing something good for my skin. Definitely recommend and will definitely be back! read more

I'm really glad I found Gina and Go Eun Beauty right before my wedding! My skin was not feeling the best. It was dry but oily and red! I was getting facials done at another place but it didn't help with the dryness I had. I was also constantly trying to hydrate with skincare products but it didn't help much. I happened to see the sign for Go Eun Beauty when I was in the Burlingame plaza and decided to inquire about their services. Gina gave me a free consultation and recommended I try their high and goal facial. And wow my skin felt so much more hydrated and no longer tight afterwards! I was pretty impressed and purchased the 5+1 facial package. I've been going to Go Eun Beauty for 1.5 years now and my skin has improved so much. I've been working with Joy lately and she gives great facial massages! I highly recommend the services here! It's really catered to your skin needs. read more

I've been coming here once a month for a year now and each time the service has been amazing! Even though I got the highgoal facial package, the aesthetician always customizes the facial depending on the condition of my skin. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a Korean facial experience! read more

I've been looking for facials for a while, stumbled upon Goeun Beauty a few months ago and I've been coming here monthly! The treatments is just what my skin needed, various different options you can choose. Just tell them your concerns and they'll give you the facial that your skin needs, very thorough explanation as well. Staff here are super friendly and they make you sure you're comfortable with anything they're doing! I would 100% recommend this place! read more

It was such a relaxing experience that made my skin feel amazing afterwards. I signed up for another facial for the next month!

I've been coming to Goeun for the past 2 years and my skin has never looked better. Gina always knows what to do when I come in. I've been doing Hifu and High/Glow and etc. I always looked for a Korean facial place and so happy that I found Goeun near my house. My son who has acne also started coming here and his skin cleared up right away. Don't know what I would do without Gina! read more

First time to try this beauty salon here in Burlingame, and they didn't disappoint me... Good service, ambiance is cool. Customer service are great. Good job read more

See all

Gina and Joy are wonderful :) you are in great hands here! Got a lovely facial done they took really good care of me and listened to all of my needs and concerns. read more

I have been to Goeun Beauty twice. The first time for a service with Gina and the second time with Joy, I am amazed by how effective the Korean facials are and the long-lasting results. The first time I scheduled a service with Gina was because my skin was super inflamed and growing a zit and I had a event to go to the next day. I needed immediate intervention. Gina heard my concerns and cleared the infection. The zit never showed up fully and my skin looked beautiful. Joy was equally brilliant. Again, I wanted my skin looking fresh after travel for an event and voila! The korean massage technique is working for me and both Gina and Joy are superstars for delivering on it! This will be my favorite go to place for facials now. read more

Joy was the best esthetician I've ever had. She was very friendly, explained every step well, and, most importantly, gave me an excellent facial massage. I'll definitely be getting my next facial with Joy. read more

Such a wonderful experience with friendly and informative staff as well as exceptional service! I had been dealing with uneven textured skin and deep acne scars my whole life, so I was looking for a place nearby to at least get a consultation. Gina was very thorough and detail oriented when evaluating my skin and making recommendations based on what she was seeing. The recommended treatment was definitely the one I had been eyeing befofe even going in. I ended up going with the packages for the Rejuvenation facial and Deep Layer Resurfacing therapy and my skin has never looked better! If I have a complaint, it would be the long down time after each session of a week, but that's the nature of the therapy. I loved it so much I went back for microblading and absolutely loving my eyebrows. read more

I had a wonderful first experience at Goeun. We started with a free consultation where Gina walked through some of my skin concerns and recommended certain facials based on what she thought would work well for my specific skin. Hannah took great care of me, with an additional hand and de collage massage during my regeneration facial. My skin was glowing afterward! If I could give feedback, I'd suggest maybe creating a more relaxing atmosphere in the room -- maybe dimmer light and aromatherapy. Regardless I had a pleasant and relaxing experience! read more

Goeun Beauty specializes in Korean style facials with a lot of facial massage. Cindy is amazing and has a special touch. I come out with clean, glowing skin and a relaxed, calm mind after her facials. read more
