    Incredible spa - I've been seeing Caitlin McCourt for the past year and have really noticed a difference in the texture and brightness of my skin. Her massage and pressure are truly amazing and deeply relaxing. I highly recommend a facial with her if you are in need of a grounding escape!

    Don't let the aesthetic minimalism fool you. You will have the BEST facial of your life here! A visit to Monastery is a key ingredient of my dream day in San Francisco. Waffle towels, crystal gua sha, aromatherapy, quiet... no extraneous or loud distractions, no upselling, nothing fake, only the essentials and skin nourishment and relaxation. The opposite of consumerist cacophony. Bless this place!

    Monastery is my favorite place for facials in SF. Their products are great and the space is chic, cozy, and serene. I had some biases against oil-based skincare products before I tried ones from Monastery. I didn't think it'd be possible to feel hydrated/soothed from a facial oil, but my skin just soaks it all up. Rose and Gold are especially great! Also a shoutout to Seda! She is a great esthetician with great hand skills, and also just makes the entire experience a peaceful, healing one.

    Beautiful studio that smelled like heaven!

    Euli is amazing! I have never had someone take such good care of my skin. She is the absolute best and in a league of her own.

    I adored Joy! She really took the time to chat through all of my preferences and goals in a way…read morethat felt supportive and collaborative, never pushy. She is a lovely person and such a talented professional! My Botox was absolutely painless and far better placed than anywhere else I've been. It can be a little intimidating to go to med spas, but this one was perfect! I felt so welcomed and everyone was so sweet! Spotless facility, clean and elegant feeling. I was so happy with my service that I booked a return appointment and a facial right away. I'm never one to instantly book follow ups, but my experience here was too great to not. Will be recommending to friends looking to get Botox in the area! You won't regret it.

I completely wrecked my skin barrier at…read moreone point trying to DIY my skincare with too many actives, and my skin was constantly irritated and reactive. Maria helped repair my skin with personalized skincare recommendations and treatments, and my skin already looks and feels so much better. Her product recommendations are amazing, which says a lot because most products used to leave my skin worse off than before. She's also worked with me through two pregnancies and always tailors everything to what's safe and appropriate for that stage, which I really appreciate. Navigating skincare during pregnancy can be such a struggle and it feels so good knowing my skin can still look great during this stage of life. I've done Ulthera with her and had a great experience. The treatment itself can be a little stingy, but the care and attention she provides makes the whole experience feel incredibly supportive and almost spa-like. I still have more I want to do (BBL and Sculptra next!), and I trust her completely. Her own skin is glowing which is the best proof she knows exactly what she's doing. I can't recommend Maria enough. Thank you Maria, for all of your help!

    Haley Tsutsui at Skin Spirit has been incredible. I've seen her four times, and my partner has seen…read moreher twice, and we truly can't recommend her enough. She is calm, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. I'm someone who tends to faint during blood draws or shots, but every time I've gotten Dysport from Haley, she has known exactly how to help prevent that. She has a wonderful bedside manner and does a great job keeping me calm, comfortable, and distracted, so I don't work myself up. She's also very quick, and the treatment is nearly pain-free, which I imagine takes real skill. On top of that, her work looks so natural, which I really appreciate. The clinic itself is very clean, and every staff member I've interacted with has been kind, understanding, and professional. Pricing is on the higher side compared with some other places, but in my experience, you really get what you pay for. They also have a rewards program, which is a nice bonus. Everything about Skin Spirit has gone above and beyond!

Thanks Ashley and SkinSpirit!

    This was honestly the best facial I've ever had. I love a good facial, but I'm usually left feeling…read morelike people are just layering on products or doing things that "feel" fancy without actually improving my skin. Not here. Monica was incredibly professional and clearly knows her stuff -- the whole experience felt much more medical-grade than the trendy "spa" places that focus more on vibes than results. I really appreciated that. I'm someone who gets a little Botox every few months and does laser hair removal, so I always look for real expertise over fluff, and this was exactly that. My skin looked amazing afterward -- clear, hydrated, and glowing. The results honestly felt like a steal for the price. Whenever I'm in SF for work, I'll be rebooking here for sure.

My skin looked so much better after my first facial so I returned 3 months later for a second one. Alisha gives good follow-up instructions after her treatment. Bear in mind that this is a medical facial, not a pampering one. There can be a bit of discomfort but it is so worth it!
