I was referred by friends in SF and happened to be in the area, so I checked in at the last minute and managed to get a weekday appointment. This is located in the Sunset area of SF, and street parking, and she has two businesses, but it's right up the stairs to the left. Angela recommended the right facial for my skin type, and my skin felt noticeably better afterward. They also took before and after pictures, which was a nice touch and helped show the results. Recommended the right facial for my skin type. I thought I was going to come in for an acne facial because I had some minor acne, but she pointed out and recognized that I have dry skin, so we ended up with the hydrating facial. After the 90-minute session, Angela went above and beyond by educating me on what they did and why it matters. She also explained the different products they carry and the packages they offer, but there was no pressure when I mentioned I was already using products right now. Overall, a great experience, and I would definitely come back again

After the 90-minute treatment, Angela patiently explained the process and its importance to me. As a man, I was initially hesitant because I don't have a skincare routine, so facials weren't a top priority for me. My skin is quite sensitive, so I was very skeptical when she suggested I start using skincare products. But she understood my situation and created a super simple daily skincare routine for me, requiring only three products. I've been using the Japanese cleanser, toner, and lotion for a week now and have received many compliments--redness has lessened, and my skin is more hydrated. Take good care of your skin, and you'll reap the benefits. I'll be back soon, thank you Angela!

I am a first responder and former military. I had the mindset that skin care was a luxury and a…read morefeminine thing. After many years being out on the field and exposed to the elements, and stress from the job, my skin took a beating. One of my lady friends told me that men have skin too and therefore should take care of their skin. Well I can't argue with that. I decided to give Anita B Spa a try because 2 of my friends rave about them and have been going there for skin care for a long time. I did not know what to expect. When I arrived, I was greeted by Anita Chan, who owns the business. She was very friendly and supportive. There was a procedure that hurt so much but felt so good and left my pores cleared. I cried a little. When the session was done, my face felt refreshed. The ambience was relaxing and the prices were fair. I decided to keep going. Btw both Redwood City and San Francisco locations were great and finding parking wasn't too difficult. I can't wait to see what Anita has in store for her Redwood City location. After 6 months of visiting Anita B Spa and Anita B Well, my coworkers tell me I am as ugly as ever, but my skin looks great. They commented how it looks moisturized and glowing. My neighbor asked my younger sister if I was her younger brother. I am glad I set aside my misgivings and visited Anita B Spa. While they can't perform miracles, one thing is for sure, they can make one's skin healthy and glowing. Regardless whether you're a man or woman, young or seasoned, taking care of your skin is never too late and worth it. Treat yourself and make an appointment. You'll thank me later!

I got "nanobrows" with Anita two years ago. The lines were huge (like a sharpie) and the brows were…read moreway too close together. When I went in for my touch up, even she seemed surprised at how dark and large the strokes still were. She said I shouldn't worry, they'd fade in two-ish years. I spent two years feeling so embarrassed and covering up the inner corners with foundation. I recently sought out saline removal and my technician was appalled at Anita's work: she couldn't believe how large the strokes were, how dark and unnecessarily DEEP the ink was placed, and how close together she made my brows for no reason. The saline removal also proved she used concentrated dark ink only on my inner brows, as the pigment pulled super heavy there (but no where else) which my removal tech said is bizarre. My removal tech even said "it seems like she was trying to make you look bad". I don't think that was Anita's intention, but I do think she should stop providing this service. It was unethical to tell me these would be temporary, that they would fade, and that the strokes would be whisper-thin. I currently have saline scars on my face and I look like a crazy person as I go through this humiliating removal process. Anita never once called out or acknowledged the poor work, just happily took my money even though I could tell she knew she did a bad job when I went in for touch up. I also had a spray tan at this salon a few years prior and the technician was super rude. I tried to give this spot so many chances, but the psychological distress of getting a botched permanent tattoo on my face that she claimed would fade in two years is a 0/5 star experience.

Sandy, the owner who also performs all the services is very nice and not hard sell. She speaks mostly Cantonese and her English is not very good. I would prefer to speak in English, but out of respect, I communicated with her in Cantonese. I opted for the facial with the double mask and collagen as it's been a while since I had a facial. I wanted to brighten my skin so it wasn't so dull. Sandy really took the time to perform the service and gave me a shoulder, scalp and neck massage that was very relaxing. The overall treatment was about 2 hours and the price for the treatment was $80. You can find that anywhere for this kind of service. I was the only customer that day so it was quiet and I really got to enjoy the treatment. I would definitely come back again regularly.
