Unfortunately, I have to leave a 1-star review based on my recent experience…read more I booked "The Works" Custom Facial, which is advertised as a 1 hour and 30 minute service for $140 and includes a double cleanse, exfoliation/dermaplaning if needed, extractions, masks, face massage, cold therapy, serums, moisturizers, and SPF. My appointment started at 3:00 PM, but the facial was finished around 3:50 PM. I asked my esthetician, Serena, why the service ended so early because I was expecting the full 90-minute experience. I was told that the service is based on what your skin needs rather than the scheduled time, and that I did not require many extractions. While I understand that every facial should be customized to the client's skin and that I did receive the LED light treatment, I was disappointed that the service ended after about 50 minutes when I had booked and paid for a facial advertised as 1 hour and 30 minutes. I did not receive a mask, and the facial massage felt extremely minimal. In my experience at other spas, when extractions or corrective treatments are not needed, the esthetician typically uses that time for a longer facial massage, additional mask time, scalp massage, hand and arm massage, neck and shoulder massage, or other relaxing treatments so that the appointment still feels complete and the client leaves feeling cared for and pampered. Instead, I left feeling as though I received less because I take good care of my skin. What was most frustrating was paying the full $140 price, plus a 15% tip, while receiving a significantly shortened service. Had I known that the appointment could be reduced by nearly 40 minutes depending on my skin condition, I would have appreciated that being clearly communicated before booking. Advice: If you have acne, congestion, or significant extraction needs, this service may be a good value for you. However, if you maintain your skin regularly and are looking for a relaxing 90-minute facial, self-care experience, or glow-up refresh, I would strongly recommend asking exactly what is included and how long your treatment is likely to last before booking or just go somewhere else. I left feeling disappointed, misled by the advertised appointment length, and feeling that I did not receive the full experience that was represented for the price.

If you're looking for quality work and someone who truly takes their time perfecting your nail shape, Lynn is your go to. I showed her my inspo picture from Pinterest and she delivered exactly what I wanted. She really focused on shaping, which I appreciated most. Most salons rush you out barely giving you time to settle down before moving on to the next step. Lynn, on the other hand, takes her time and makes sure everything is done right while also being so informative about everything nail related. The salon setting itself is not fancy, but the service and care you receive are truly top-tier. She even made sure my boyfriend was comfortable while he waited, offering us snacks and water even though he wasn't being serviced. If you value attention to detail and genuine care, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

There's a reason that Skin Revival is so highly rated and why I've been getting regular facials…read moresince 2021 and it's all due to Lizzy. When I say that I don't trust anyone else with my skin, I absolutely mean it. Walking into Skin Revival is an absolute treat. It's beautifully decorated in muted tones so that you feel like you've stepped into a tranquil retreat away from everything. There's fun but soft music playing, the room is spacious and cozy, and the bed is always warm and comfortable which is a must for relaxation! I have severe acne prone skin that requires I come in once a month to get a facial. Over the years, I trust Lizzy to do whatever treatment is needed for my skin to get back into shape. Without a doubt, it always works in helping my skin feel so much better and I have noticed if I don't come for a month, it negatively effects my face where I start getting painful breakouts. Lizzy is a fantastic esthetician. She is super gentle for all her treatments from washing my face to extractions. She always ensures that I am aware of what she is doing especially when certain products tingle. And all of the products she uses smell incredible. She is also hilarious, kind, and really patient. If all of this hasn't convinced you to visit Skin Revival, then I have more things for you. She never pushes to upsell you for any products. She does however have incredible products that she sells and are extremely high quality because she believes that our skin deserves the best. She will work with you if you contact her whenever you have any questions about skincare or postcare treatment. I cannot recommend coming to her enough. There's ample parking and it's a such a short walk to the beach that if you arrive early, you can make a quick stop to begin the relaxation!

Hmmmm... how do you review perfection?! I don't even know where to start, which is why it has…read moretaken me so long to write this review. There are estheticians, and then there is Lizzy. First of all, her products are sensational - her own line is amazing (the sulphur toner, vit c and green tea serums are all staples for me) and the products she uses in her treatments outside of her own line are all high quality. I always find this to be what sets beauty experts apart - products!! And knowing what to use on who! Lizzy nails both. Also, she uses these devices that you won't get during a typical facial. High frequency, cryo therapy, the best LED light therapy available (I know bc I researched it before I even started seeing Lizzy), etc. She does the most gentle extractions, but will go for something stubborn if needed without causing stress to the skin. Pretty sure my first facial I told her about this bump under my skin on my cheek that had been there for months and she just said "oh, I'll get it". And she did! She's well versed on what's pregnancy safe. My skin just looks noticeably improved as soon as I leave a facial with Lizzy. Oh! Let's not forget the space she's created. Her little boutique spa is a little slice of heaven. So peaceful and zen. CLEAN! Her playlists are always on point. Everything about the space is just so effortless. Which brings me to my final point - Lizzy herself. What a bad ass human being. Kind and funny and makes you feel so comfortable. I'm a massive fan.

I live in Hawaii but I am currently traveling for business for 16 weeks. All the traveling, flights , delays, and late work nights, have been taking a toll on my skin. Not to mention the waxing I need while on this long venture. One of my family members suggested Karma, a cute little treasure hidden in Pacifica. Marcella and Karen own Karma and although it's relatively new, both have been in the business for several years now. I see Marcella for the facials and Karen for my waxing, the professionalism is superb. The atmosphere they have created at Karma is so inviting and relaxing. The services they provide is amazing. I can see an improvement in my skin from my facials with Marcella and I am well groomed with the waxing from Karen. I am grateful to my family for suggesting Karma. Whenever I am back in town, in need of a facial and waxing, I know where to go. Mahalo Marcella and Karen! read more

I have been getting my brows done by Marcella for almost two years now I think. I have crazy man brows and she has helped me accept this genetic trait by keeping them tamed and beautiful. I have also been getting facials for a couple of months now and I have to say that I have never been more pampered as when I go to Karma. I have problematic skin, but I always feel that Marcella listens to my issues and addresses them in ways that work. They also don't push product on you, just make gentle recommendations. I really appreciate that. Their prices are also so reasonable for the experience that I can no longer find excuses not to treat myself. All in all I wouldn't want to go anywhere else to get the pampering I have decided I deserve. :) read more

If you haven't been to waxing Wednesday, they had waxing specials, appetizers, and a cool dj playing really great music. They made waxing such a pleasurable experience, I can't wait to treat myself again! I 'm Karma for life. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give it 12!
