I saw yulia for a basic facial a few months ago with extractions and generally had a great…read moreexperience. The place is very basic - part of a little plaza - on the left side of the courtyard. Budget time for finding street parking, as with anything downtown San Carlos. Yulia was on time and took even a few minutes over to take care of the full problem (a LOt of blackheads / clogged pores on cheeks) . My favorite part was probably her advice on resolving the persistent clogged pores and blackheads I had been battling for almost a year. Talking to me about the products I use, she quickly deduced my problem was most likely dry (not excess oil) skin and a lack of hydration from overusing bha's at too high of a concentration. I was skeptical at first but doubling down on moisturizing and discontinuing harsh acids ultimately fixed the issue . I plan on still coming for a tume up her or there. Only crit is that the skincare products sold there are ok (I got the toner and it unfortunately didn't get along great with the rest of my products but maybe you'll have better luck).

The quality here is outstanding. I loved the vibe when I walked in. It's a small location but It…read morefelt like I got VIP service. I booked online for a 1 hour facial. Yulia said my skin was in good condition. She told me that I probably only needed a professional facial every 3 months. I did answer a few questions to ensure that I was no allergic to anything or have had any past reactions. This is great due diligence on her part. This made me fell great as a customer as well. I did a deep pore cleaning facial ($90). After removing my shirt, I laid down on the comfy table face up for my treatment. This helps so you dont get any products on your shirt or jacket. She performed all the layers and removals seamlessly. We identified that I need to use moisturizer 2 times per day to maintain good skin. She also recommend that I do an exfoliation more regularly to ensure my skin can accept products. I left with my skin bright and glowing. I'll definitely be back before summer to get another treatment. Time to be acknowledged 5/5 Time to be serviced 5/5 Return value 5/5 Bathroom 5/5 Customer service 5/5 Parking 1/5

I've been debating writing this review for a while. Over the past couple of years, I've had very…read morepositive experiences receiving vitamin shots from Cathy, which is why I decided to come here for Botox for the first time. At 29, I chose to get a small, preventative treatment of 12 units in my 11s. They weren't bad but I did notice some small fine lines and texture appearing. Before my appointment, I did quite a bit of research and came across the possibility of a "spock brow" occurring if the rest of the forehead isn't treated. I brought up this concern during my appointment, since we weren't treating other areas, and was reassured that everyone is different and that it would be an easy fix if it did happen. Unfortunately, I did experience a subtle spock brow, with my right eyebrow lifting slightly higher than the left. I scheduled a follow-up appointment, where I saw the owner. She added 2 units only to the right side of my forehead. I remember feeling like something wasn't right about only treating one side, and my intuition was telling me the same, but I trusted her expertise. I was also charged for the additional Botox to correct the issue, which didn't sit right with me. About a week later, once everything had settled, I noticed the opposite problem. My right brow now appeared droopy while my left was more mobile. When I raised my eyebrows, they looked uneven, with the left side lifting higher than the right. I was honestly so upset and frustrated at this point, so I booked a second follow up to have Botox added to the other side to even it out. During that visit, I saw Eliana. She was kind, but I felt dismissed when it was suggested that my brows may have been asymmetrical to begin with, which was not the case. She even said my right brow (which was now droopy!) was higher due to my brow shape. I even have before photos showing my natural brow symmetry prior to any Botox. She added 1 unit to the left side in an attempt to balance things out, but unfortunately, it didn't make a difference at all. I can't blame Eliana, but rather that the owner put way too much on just one side and made me asymetrical. Rather than going back and 4th time and messing my face up even more, I've decided to wait it out until the Botox wears off. I've uploaded a video of me raising my eyebrows for context. The right brow barely moves at all and the left one goes up and out. This does not look normal. I also want to mention that I had booked a consultation over email at the end of 2025 and was not told there would be a $150 fee. While I take responsibility for not reading the fine print, I was not clearly informed of the cost beforehand. Because of this, I felt pressured to move forward with a service a couple months later just to apply that $150 I spent at the consultation. This has been a really upsetting experience, and I'm now left with uneven brows that I'll have to wait months for the Botox to wear off and be normal again. I truly regret this experience and wish I hadn't gotten Botox done here. It was a waste of money and I feel self conscious every time I have to raise my eyebrows now. I really didn't want to leave a negative review, as I've loved this space for the vitamin shots and everyone has always been so nice when I've come in, however, I feel it's important to share my experience and warn others. In hindsight, it also concerns me that there are no visible before and after photos from the business. I've asked about this in the past and they said they don't do them due to "privacy issues".

My PCP is no longer giving vitamin B12 shots because insurance is no longer paying them, so I'm…read moreglad I found this place. I get the triple vitamin and NAD shots. Venue: clean and welcoming Staff: friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and patient Price: comparable to other places

I feel like I've got pretty average brows but they just don't grow like they used to. That is to…read moresay -- I'm very careful about whom I trust my brows with because the repercussions increasingly last longer. However, Mona has absolutely earned that trust with the amazing job she did with them! I found Mona through Yelp, and the reviews are spot-on. She's such a kind, warm spirit with a very loyal client base, and for good reason. You can schedule with her via text, and she is quite flexible to accommodate you as best as she can. She's so detailed and gentle; the entire process was painless and I feel like she took her time to give me the best results. While I gave her free control, she kept my length (which is always my preference) and gave me the arch of my dreams (not too arched but not too subtle either). Mona basically said, "2016 brows are back!!" and I'm obsessed. She framed my face perfectly. I'm so glad to have found her business and will definitely come back when I need to get my brows cleaned again.

Mona is one of the very few lady's I go to for an AMAZING eyebrow appointment... Her threading is…read morevery neat & clean, you can see how clean your eyebrows look!
