Pampering Faces is a quaint little operation in Pinole. The owner Ching does her magic upstairs above the Thee hair salon. She offers a wide range of facial services, but I keep going back to her because of the high quality products that she uses. Ching understands skins conditions very well, so be vocal and express any concerns you have with yours. I'm currently in the middle of a session of treatments to help ease some rosacea and I have to say that my skin hasn't been this calm in years. I highly recommend the organic line of products that she uses for anyone out there with sensitive skin. Give her a call, she's very accomodating about scheduling. (Hey, some of us need jobs to feed our facial addictions!) She often takes me after work on the weeknights. read more

Yes, yes, yes!!!!!!! My experience was amazing. I was educated on the equipment, and the products that were being used. I felt totally relaxed throughout my facial. My face feels magnificent; it's a true before and after. I literally wish I could go everyday. This was the best facial I have had in my entire life. read more

This review is long over due. I had my facial a few months back. It was BEYOND a facial though. Ching is awesome and knowledgeable with the products and services she offers. I received a gift certificate for my birthday and Ching really spoiled me! I got the works and she does everything in a certain order to make your skin feel and look great! Along with the neck and facial massages, it was heaven and I will definitely be back for the same package. Thank you Ching for the incredible treatment! It was great meeting you...see you soon:) read more

I had a wonderful facial last week--my first time at Pampering Faces. Ching is unusually knowledgable about facial structure, procedures, and products. I really liked the vitamin c products that she used on my skin., and I was happy that she sells small sizes so that I can try the product line at home. On top of my facial, I had a small microcurrent treatment and it was great. I was very pleased with the results. Ching gave me a specific recommendations based on my skin. That is really helpful since it can be hard to decide what treatment or product to use. Ching is a is a fun person to talk with--very warm and understanding, The office is calm and relaxing. I highly recommend Pampering Faces! read more

If it does get better than this, you'd have to mortgage your soul and saw off your leg to afford it. Ching did all that I could've wished for or imagined to my face (microderm, enzyme peel, the zappy light on my zits), massaged my neck and shoulders and simply made me feel and look fantastic - and all for a good price. I was definitely a little bit nervous seeing her, as I had finally found my facialist of choice at Harmony in Vallejo only to loose her to . . unanswered phone calls, possibly a change of job, or god-knows-what. Turns out, Ching is equally wonderful and closer to my house. Hooray- my face has a new home. read more

I have been going to Ching at Pampering Faces for a little over a year now. My skin is slightly scared from acne when I was a teenager, and I've had some noticeable discoloration. Ching's method of applying different types of facial treatments in a single session has done wonders for my skin. Scaring has been reduced, and my skin is a lot softer than it used to be. She's also very good at guiding me with what take-home products to use, with specific directions in addition to explaining what each product is for. I can tell that Ching really cares about the progress I'm making with my skin, and that makes the entire process more enjoyable. read more

3 years ago I went to Yelp to look for a facial and found pampering faces and I'm so glad I did! She is very sweet, honest and takes her time with you. I've since had a few facials and even had my skin tags removed. What a difference it made! Since the pandemic hit, I haven't had a chance to see her. Now that we've been wearing masks for a year now, I've developed mascne and was in desperate need of a facial. Although she had a busy schedule, she heard my desperation and made accommodations for me. I'm so thankful!! read more

Ching gave me so many facials in one! She was gentle and very thorough. She recommended skin care products- which I love! I've been using the Image vitamin C line for 2 months now and my skin is much less dry and dehydrated. read more

For my wife's birthday, I got her the facelift package by Ching and massage by Tatum. She absolutely loved it and definitely coming back. I cannot comment much since the services done were for my wife. However, Ching was always very responsive to my inquiries. read more

I have been coming to Pampering Faces for many years and have always been happy with Ching's attention to detail. When COVID hit, I found out how important it was to take care of your skin. Needless to say without being able to get a facial ultimately affected my appearance/skin. However, since reopening I have been back to see Ching and my skin is looking better! She always has the latest in skin care and technology and is very helpful. I think the service you receive is par none, in my humble opinion. read more

Ching was amazing. I was a new customer and she was very welcoming and educational since it was my first time getting a facial. She and her assistant was very delicate while she worked with me. I had some acne and milia on my face and after the treatment, my face has never been so smooth. All the treatment used really helped with reducing the size of my pores, uneven skin tones and the bumps on my forehead and face. Shes very professional. Love her work and definitely recommend giving her a visit! read more

I have been going to Ching for about 7 years and she's amazing. She has brought my skin back to the best it can be. Especially now in my thirties I love her focus on my hyper pigmentation and discoloration on my face without me even having to tell her, she just knows. All the products she has ever introduced me to have worked wonderfully. read more

I high recommend this place! she's the best! Ching Vizcarra Sarmiento is the owner and the assistant is Ting Vizcarra! she's been taking care of my faces for so long. Thank you read more

Ching is the best! I was recommended to her by a family member before my wedding. I went for several months before my wedding and my skin has never felt better! You leave the spa with glowy skin, VERY relaxed, and well rested. I have very sensitive skin and all the products used on my face didn't cause any harm or reaction. I highly recommend her services! I recently got the Korean Oxygen Facial and it was soooooo worth every penny. My skin has been feeling so good and hydrated even after one month. Thanks again Ching for taking good care of my family and I when we book our facials. read more

I'm getting my face ready for my wedding, and am so glad I found Ching to help me! My skin is glowing from my Korean Oxygen Facial. Ching was so knowledgeable and communicative during the whole process. I was very impressed and grateful for this service! I'll be there again one more time before the day. read more

I had the Korean Oxygen facial a month ago and I liked the treatment. I also liked the products Ching recommended me to use. There is an improvement on my skin and I can't wait for my next facial. read more

I found this place online and it's absolutely wonderful. It was my first time going, but I'll definitely be back. As a matter of fact I've found a home for facials. The esthetician was so generous, thorough, very patient and over all good spirited. She took her time, I felt so relaxed and in great hands. If anyone is looking for any facial needs I'm definitely recommending this place. read more

Excellent! It was my first visit today for a facial today and I was so happy My skin looked radiant. Ching.spends alot of time with you and when you are done you feel like you have a whole new face. I booked another appt for next month so I can try to maintain this excellent skin regime. It was the best facial I have ever had. And the price is so reasonable. She gives you lots of sample products to try. Cute salon as well. Very calm and peaceful. read more

Disappointed. This review is more so of the esthetician's business practices, vs services as I did not receive them due to her error. On Tuesday, I called Ching asking to schedule an appt for either Weds or Thurs. I was happily surprised to be offered an appt "tomorrow at 2" thinking the day before may be too last minute. I was able to take these 2 days off prior to me leaving town Friday. So I confirmed w/ Ching "Okay so that's tomorrow, Weds Dec 5th @ 2?" She confirmed & said "See you then." Our call ended. I show up a bit before 2 on Weds, knock on the door a few minutes ahead. I waited for a while & then knocked again. No answer. So thinking my knock may be faint, I call Ching to let her know I'm outside. She answers her phone letting me know "[she] has me down for 2 tomorrow, Thursday." Very shocked & disappointed, as I know for a fact as I wrote it down while we were on the phone that we scheduled for this day & time. I let her know I thought it was today, and she asks if tomorrow will work for me which I said yes, as I was greatly looking forward to having a facial done before I leave town. So I rearrange my now made plans for Thursday to make time for my facial. I arrive 20mins to 2 on Thursday, walk up the stairs w/ about 15mins to spare, go inside & patiently take a seat. I hear a voice over the phone ordering lunch to pick up in 10mins, I can see this office is a shared space between a CMT, & assume this voice is obviously not the woman to do my facial. A few minutes go by, as this same woman walks around the office space, she smiles to me & says hello, to me confirming my assumption that this is not Ching, thinking had it been she would've greeted & asked if I was her 2Oclock appt & brought me back. Shortly after she starts to head out, she stops at the door to ask me if I had let "her" know I was here referring I guess to a closed door adjacent to me. I say no, assuming since door was close that this person was w/ a client & that I'm looking for Ching. She responds "No she just had a client that left, just give it a light knock to let her know you're here." She heads out the door. I give the door a knock & a woman steps out, I let her know I'm the 2o Clock here for a facial. This woman responds she is a massage therapist & w/ a client, Ching is the woman that just left." & suggested I give her a call. At this point, I'm fed up w/ Ching's service. We already had an appt scheduled for Weds, then due to error she pushes it back to Thursday. I'm there Thursday & while in her face she doesn't even recall she had a 2Oclock appt. I call around to other estheticians locally to no avail for a same day appt, so this really ruined my hope for a facial before leaving town. I guess the only way to look at an upside is I saved my money on service not worthy. Hope anyone reading has better luck! read more

Ching is awesome! She's a down to earth person and not pretentious at all. She talks to you about what you use, your daily skin regimen, diet, etc. She is very easy to talk to. I've been going to her for a few months and have noticed the improvements. She also has some great products too. Very affordable and she works around your schedule for appointments. I 'll continue to see her for a while. Cute little, relaxing office as well. read more

In preparation for my wedding, I wanted to have my skin at its best and I was very fortunate to find Pampering Faces. The service is excellent and Ching made sure that I understood every step as she explained the process for each treatment. She even has literature that explains the various treatments. The ambiance is wonderful and relaxing and there was no rush, which further adds to the soothing environment. The prices are comparable to other salons of her caliber, if not lower and I had no difficulties in making appointments. She is gentle and careful and most importantly, I am very pleased with the results! I signed up for the peel and microdermabrasion treatments and she was very accommodating to adjust the treatment based on the condition of my skin. My skin was smooth, clear and radiant for my wedding and I continue to see her for my skin care needs. read more

I went to Pampering Faces for a facial. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked through the door. The place was beautiful, and comfortable. Very serene. Ching spent about 1 and 1/2 hrs on my face, working on all my problem areas. She still charged me for a 1 hour facial. She did such a good job. I noticed results right away. I can't wait to go again!!! read more

Not only does Ching does a great job in extractions...but her prices are reasonable. I especially appreciate that she does not watch the clock. She simply does what she needs to do - to ensure that I am happy. read more

Ching works her magic! she's amazing very meticulous about her work. I've been coming to Ching for years now and i would highly recommend her work to anyone. My skin has never felt or looked better. read more

My fiance and I decided to get our facial done two weeks before our wedding. The owner, Ching, took us in after work and boy was it worth it! After having such a stressful past week taking care of wedding details, it was definitely a treat to get pampered. Ching is very professional, sweet and very helpful in allowing us to learn more about our skin. At the end of our facials, she even massaged our head, neck and arms - I loved it and so did my fiance! And even better, our faces were glowing and felt so refreshed. I would definitely come back here again! read more

If you care about your skin, this is definitely the place to go. I thought my skin was great but since I found Ching, it has been amazing. Tons of complements about my skin since seeing her.

Treat yourself to one of the best facials of your life. Ching is very sweet and patient. She really takes her time to make you feel special and cared for.

This is such a wonderful and relaxing place to get any of your skin care needs met! I spent years spending way too much money on (100+) facials without getting the quality care and lasting results. Ching, the owner, offers multiple services tailored to meet your individual needs. She is an excellent listener, competent professional, knowledgeable and informative! Most importantly, she made me feel comfortable and was nonjudgmental when my skin was at its worst!!!! Her consistently strong work and friendly demeanor is the reason that I know longer visit any other salon for my esthetician services. Melissa Feldkamp read more

I'm a lady that love's to pamper her self! I traveled miles for facials and was never happy with the results. It all started with a gift card given to me by my Boss & let me tell you he is EXTREMELY finicky & boy was he happy.. Not only he looked like an emitting ray of light, his skin looked and felt like a baby's skin. I then made my appt. & had the honor of meeting the "Owner and licensed Esthetician Ching Sarmiento".. She not only explained every step of the way, but she used organic products. I've noticed a great huge difference in my skin after 6 months under her care. I"ve been a loyal customer Over a Year now and will continue to have her work on my skin.. Ladies you must go!.... Great services I give you a 10!.. Excellent services. read more

I went to Pampering Faces a couple of months ago to get a facial. As soon as I walked in I liked what I saw. The place was very neat and clean. Ching took her time with me and the facial lasted about an hour and a half. I was impressed. She focused on my problem areas, and I immediately saw results! I will not go anywhere else. I have had other facials and they did not even come close to the facial that Ching gives.. I will be going back soon! read more

I just went here for the first time today in My one and only day off. It was the best place very relaxing and the staff was so nice . I will defiantly be back and recommending them to all of my co workers and friends . read more

Very relaxing and thorough. Just what I needed. Highly recommend her if you're looking for a good facial.

I went to Ching on a last minute notice and she made time to fit me in on her busy schedule. It was my first time doing Facial and she did a great job!!! She was sencere about my skin and went above and beyond to make sure I understood what items I need to use and when. She would also follow up on me and ask for feedback on the skin. To top it off she drop off some additional cream for me at home :) I would highly recommend her service!!!! read more

Ching takes her time with you and she never pushes product. She gives you samples to take home so you can see which one works. Ching does not use cheap products. Her studio is extremely clean. Reasonable priced for all the services you get, because of this, she has loyal clients. read more

I have had two appointments with Ching now, and am thrilled not only with her services, but with how my skin looks in between treatments. I've previously traveled long distances to get my skin taken care of, but I don't need to anymore. The environment is so relaxing and welcoming as well. She really is marvelous and well deserving of a 5-star rating. read more

Pampering Faces is the BEST! Ching is caring, a great esthetician AND she listens to you. This is not one-size-fits-all skin care! It is tailored-to-you. Run, don't walk to Pampering Faces. You can relax once you get there! Pat T. read more

I had such a wonderful experience getting a facial from Ching! She is extremely friendly and welcoming, it was not a problem to open up to her and time went by really quickly.

I received treatment for acne and Ching explained every procedure that she did, she is very knowledgeable about her products and equipment. I would highly recommend Ching to anyone whether it is their first time receiving a facial or they would just like to try some new products.

If you want the best of everything, you will find it at Pampering Faces. The atmosphere feels like a luxurious spa. The products are superior. Ching Sarmiento, the owner, is awesome. She is knowledgeable and skilled. She explained everything, every step of the way, and helped me learn about good skin care. She is professional, poised, and charming. For many years, my skin was breaking out, deep lines were forming, and it was dry and colorless. I had the complete treatment from Ching, am using the Nu-Tone skin rejuvenator, and all of the Image products. My skin looks and feels 10 years younger: no blemishes at all, deep lines no longer visible, good color, and youthfulness. Really! I recommend Ching and Pampering Faces to everyone. If you want to look and feel young and beautiful, make an appointment to go see Ching. read more
