Lene is amazing!! Skin refresh is so worth the investment for looking and feeling fabulous!

Lene's Place is THE place to go for your skin care needs. Along with Lene being one of the most amazing and kind women that I have had the pleasure of meeting, she provides the best facials. She has amazing treatments available and really puts you at ease while in her care. She also is such an artist with eyebrow shaping. She advised me on the shape that would be most elegant and flattering for my face. She worked with me over multiple sessions to repair bad shaping from previous amateur waxers and my own overzealous plucking. I could not trust my eyebrows to anyone else again! Lene has created this incredibly welcoming, refreshing, and relaxing environment. I would not hesitate to recommend her and sing the highest praises for what she does. Every time I leave her place I am walking on air! You always know you are in good hands. See her, you will not regret it! read more

Been coming to Lene since she used to work at Vera's on Beverly Glen. She is by far the best in the business. She opened her own place on ventura a few years back. it is both clean and convenient. Lene CLEANS your face. If you love blackheads and pimples this is not your place. Haha. She is very thorough. The spa only does facials. Her facials are not cheap but they are worth it. Tell her grace johnston sent ya ;) read more

Lene's Place - Waiting area - Skin Care Near Me - Valley Village, California

This was hands-down the most amazing facial I have ever had. I was glowing like Times Square after I stepped out of my facial with Lene! The facial I received was the Deluxe European. It began with cleansing, followed by a lot of exfoliation. The method of exfoliation Lene uses was really interesting. She puts the scrub on your face and rubs it until it dries - no water is added to lather the exfoliate. This was slightly painful, but yielded some seriously incredible results! After exfoliation, there was some steaming action followed by a pumpkin enzyme peel. This costs extra but is totally worth it! The results of this peel were quite impressive - my skin literally looked angelic. The enzyme peel was followed by a lot of extractions (aka: Ouch!) but Lene really made sure to remove every bit of dirt and grime from my pores. She ended the extractions with a moisturizing mask and massaged my entire face. My hands and feet were massaged earlier in the session before being covered with heated gloves - which was an amazing treat. And the room itself was lovely, very high ceilings and beautiful candles. The facial lasted over an hour and was around $80 - a total steal for something so intricate. I will definitely be back! read more

I have been going to Lene's Place for over a year now and I don't see my self going anywhere else. If you really want a Good Cleaning , then Lene is your girl! I also do the Pumpkin Peel at 20% which is good for removing dead skin on the surface. She has also great products that i use to buy at the Beauty Supply , but now i buy it from her. If you need electrolysis , I can not say enough good things about the Electrolysis specialist there Mary! People actually fly from out of town to see her, because she is that good! read more

This review is long overdue. I've had issues with acne since my teens. I've tried numerous dermatologists, facialists, and various procedures, and nothing worked. (I was even given two rounds of Accutane in the 90's!) Lene is the first specialist to give me a facial with extractions that left my skin looking calmer afterwards, and didn't make me break out more. I started going to Lene every 3 weeks to start, and then tapered down the visits to every month to month-and-a-half. My skin is much more under control with regular sessions with Lene, and I can now get away with going every other month or so. (I've been going for about 5 years.) Although Lene has great products for sale, she's never made me feel pressured in any way to make a purchase. In fact, she only asked me if I wanted to pick up products during my first visit. When she puts something on my skin that feels extra good during the treatment (like a balm) is when I ask what it was and buy it. The salon is super clean, and the environment is very calming. Lene even massages and wraps your hands and feet in a warm moisturizing treatment before your facial as part of the procedure! Going to Lene is a surprisingly affordable treat, and I highly recommend her services. read more

Its very rare I get any type of skincare done on my face but after getting a Gentlemen's Facial at Lene's Place, I am so glad to have learned about their place and services. My face really feels so fresh instantly and feels alot better. Her cleansing techniques are amazing. Also the prices are severely lower then Burke Williams. My next Appointment will be the hydrating facial due to my dry skin. Thanks a million Lene!! read more

Such a great place! Always so clean and the employees are always kind. My family and I love this place I recommend to any one looking for a great facial. I do wish it was slightly more cost affective. But non the less I still recommend. read more

Lene is simply amazing. We've been loyal clients for years and highly recommend her expertise in taking care of our skin.

Perhaps I should wait with the review until I have tried Lene's expertise, but I just love Mary and her electrolysis so much that I just want to rave about her! I can't wait 'til I try Lene's services, as she is very kind, has great energy and is just as wonderful as a person can be that you would like to care for such an important thing as your face. Her place is clean, neat, well kept and I have bought one of her own brand body lotions that is not only filled with potent and natural ingredients, but smells good too! Now to Mary. The most genuine and kind person I've met in this industry. I just clearly love the woman. She is quick with her machine, and she makes me comfortable enough to work on any area desired (think:intimate area). She is chatty and friendly enough to put you at ease, and let's you rest and rejuvenate in silence when needed to. That is a social skill that is GOLD! Electrolysis is not very painful, but it's not without pain either. I apply numbing cream prior to walking in, so I have no issues with her work at all. I am hair free in the areas, no issues, and this is permanent. Mary is worth her prices and more in my opinion. If I was rich, I would tip her in the same amount as the whole price of services. She is just wonderful. read more

So you walk in and feel an Instant calmness, like I made the right decision choosing this place:) The room that I laid in was so clean and Serene. Just experiencing the mini facial my skin has already started to glow again! Before I left I purchased a facial cleanser and a toner that makes my face feel wonderful! Lene herself is so attentive and has so much knowledge on skin care. I have already pre booked my next appointment at the end of the month and can't wait:) read more

Lene is now my brow guru. She does a fantastic job and is helping me to get away from my brownerexia. I HATE skinny brows .(They make your nose look like gonzo no matter who you are, and your face look like an apple). I have strangely shaped brows and most people end up over tweezing, working against my brows instead of WITH them- NOT LENE!!! She is a magician... LOVE HER! read more

Hands down the best facial I have ever had! Lene is a pro, kind, warm, & takes pride in the services she provides. Everything was right - the scheduling process, convenient, free parking in the rear, the welcoming & spotless environment, & of course, Lena's special touch. I visited her because I had a certificate from a silent auction - I did not know what to expect but she did not disappoint! She is #1 on my facialist list & I would also seek her out for other services she provides. read more

Lene is awesome. I so look forward to getting facials here. She is so nice and friendly. But more importantly. she really knows skin. I feel so taken care of every time I go in. And I always get random complements from strangers on my skin after I've been in. If I could, I would go for a facial every month! I have given gift certificates for facials to many of my friends and it is one of their favorite gifts to receive. It's also one of my favorite gifts to receive... if anyone reading this is feeling generous! read more

I found this place in yelp and called to make an appointment just one day before and they got me in on a Saturday afternoon. It was for an electrolysis treatment. And I read some positive reviews so I decided to try Mary. She was very nice, professional and helped me with my problem areas. I will definitely go back as needed and would recommend to anyone after just one visit I am fully satisfied. There are also facials available by a couple other women there including the owner of the spa. Apparently she is excellent and the prices looked very reasonable. Thumbs up and thanks Mary read more

I got my first facial in years today at Lene's, and it was WONDERFUL! Lene is such a sweet, kind woman. The facility was warm, clean, and inviting. It was relaxing, and my skin feels so soft and smooth now. I will definitely come back again in the future, and I recommend anyone who wants a great facial to go to her! read more

Very nice staff, an experienced esthetician, fair prices.

Lene is the most talented facialist in town. I came to Lene's Place with dull problem skin and she literally gave me new skin, bright and clear, in just a couple of visits. I'm hooked on her skin magic! In addition to Lene's tremendous skill and care, both Lene and her tranquil spa are absolutely lovely. Also, I recently tried the "ultrasonic skin scrubber" after I had facial surgery and it was amazing! It's gentle enough for for post-surgery patients and leaves your skin clean and glowing. So for all of you ladies out there that think you can't get a good facial after surgery, not true! Go see Lene! read more

So happy I found this place! As a kinesiology student I had heard a lot about paraffin baths and Lene offers it in her spa. It left my skin feeling baby-soft and loosed up my joints. I loved the whole experience. I like that the place is clean and well kept. My mom got the cleansing facial and she really liked the way it rejuvenated her face. Overall, this was a very good experience for both of us. Don't get to do to many spa dates but this is our new spot. read more

been seeing Lene for years. If you want clean skin and an overall luxurious experience, shes your girl. If you just want your face creamed, she is not for you. Your skin will glow after you leave. Shes amazing!! Tell her Grace sent ya read more

Had my first facial ever today and it was wonderful. So relaxing and clean and now my face looks and feels great! I will definitely be coming back to Lene's Place! read more

I love Lene and Mary the whole staff is amazing best facial and microdermabrasion you can get in town for a great price and the amount of care is unbelievable I love this place soooo much read more

So thanks to YELP I found the best facial place in the valley. Saw Lene last week- she was very friendly, professional, caring. I have my next appointment booked with her for next month. Been getting facials since my teen year which my lady was from Thailand and she moved back home. For the last ^ years I have tried many places and nothing good till now. I am a new client for ever. Thanks again Lene and my boss is very happy with your facials too. read more

Lene is by far the best esthetician I've seen. I started seeing her back when she worked at Vera's Retreat (in Beverly Glen). I've had numerous facials and Lene's facials are far superior to any facial I've had (even at the fancy spas). For a first visit, start with the Deluxe European Facial (for women) and add an enzyme peel if you want to spoil yourself. Hands-down the best facial you will receive - guaranteed! read more

A hidden gem for a great facial in a "modest" environment across from Ralph's in Sherman Oaks.

I have been a client of Lene's for many years. I just think she gives the best facials ever! My entire family, even my husband, swears by Lene's work. She knows how to take care of my skin. I have tried 20 percent peels, microdermabrasion, and back facials as well, and have been thorougly pleased with the results. I am very picky about estheticians, but with Lene, I know that she will do an amazing job and that I will feel amazing afterwards. read more

Just had my first facial in a very long time with Stella, and she was amazing. So kind & knowledgeable, and made me feel so comfortable. She's my go to girl from now on. read more

I love Lene's Place. Lene uses the best products, and makes you feel wonderful. Her facials are amazing. Very relaxing environment. Very reasonably priced. I highly recommend her place! I brought my mom in for a facial and she felt great afterwards. Lene is a lovely person. You will be thrilled with the results. Your skin will glow. read more

Service was fine, but I got kinda bad vibes from her. She just seemed really phony, I didn't feel relaxed. Sorry if that sounds hippie-dippy but for this kind of thing I need to be around someone who's sincere. read more

I had never gotten electrolysis and was a bit scared. I had read great things about Mary on Yelp and decided to finally go for it. Well... the rumors are true. Mary is one of the kindest, sweetest, most personable, gentlest people I have ever met. She actually made it pleasurable! Unbelievable! Couldn't recommend her higher. Now I know why people come from out of state just to see her. Absolutely wonderful. read more

I just had my first facial here and have already booked my next one! I have always been on the fence about facials because I have sensitive acne prone skin and have found that they are usually done by people who really don't know what they are doing and they use a lot of fancy products that make me break out right after. The place I have been going to recently which offers a more "medical" type facial isn't at all relaxing and hurts a lot! This place was the perfect balance. Lene (the owner) is so pleasant and kind and has so much experience. She has been doing facials for 20 plus years and was so informative about my skin type. She really got in there and was SO thorough with the extractions. She left no pimple untouched. And she did so much prep before hand with massage, steam and exfoliation (I actually fell asleep and I never ever nap) that it didn't even hurt too much during the extractions. It was a pampering facial yet one that really got the job done. And my favorite thing was she wasn't pushing her products on me. I hate when they do that. She told me my regimen was fine and told me about a clay mask that her clients love and that was it! Absolutely no pressure. I will definitely be a long time client!! read more

Lene is the BEST!!! She is amazing not only with my skin but with my teenage daughter as well...I cannot recommend her enough. She is fairly priced and a kind hearted, talented esthetician...We are lucky to have found her! read more

THE BEST! Lene is the only woman that my sister, mother and I let touch our skin. I am 25 my mother is 60 and Lene's Place is the best for us both. I am never disappointment! Also, Lene's products are innovative, effective, my go-to. read more
