I went to Abundance Skin Care Studio on Saturday June 10, 2023 for a facial. I walked in with…read moreblemish-free skin. I left with two burns on my face. At first Chrysann told me the red marks were from the "pressure" from the LED mask she'd used and they would fade shortly, but they got worse over the rest of the day. I was VERY clear about the products & devices I use to make sure there were no bad reactions, and we discussed my skincare routine in depth before starting. I reached out Sunday morning and shared pictures of my burns, and she tried to palm it off as my skin "purging," when I clearly have two angry burns on my cheek and forehead. The skin is raw in those two spots. She offered a few suggestions and said she'd be back in the office on Tuesday and she could give me something then, as if this could wait until Tuesday or that I'd ever trust her again. Since then, I've heard nothing from her, which, speaks volumes. The wounds are healing, but whether or not I'm left with permanent scars is yet to be seen. Stay FAR away. UPDATE: Doctor tells me I have first degree burns. Likely 60 days before my skin is completely back to normal. SECOND UPDATE: No reviews between 2017 and my review last week, and suddenly people are coming out of the woodwork to sing this woman's praises? I smell a scam. She burned my skin and after I called her on it, SHE NEVER RESPONDED TO ME. Totally unprofessional.

It's really a special treat to see beautiful arts hanging on the wall of a local Bamboo Hair + Body. The location is convenient, right off Main Street of down town Half Moon Bay. I love the vibrant colors of her paintings. My photos do not reflect how unbelievable her creativity and her color work of her arts. I highly recommend to come and see her paintings with your own eyes. I appreciate her nature capture in still arts. I feel happy and inspired looking at her beautiful bright colorful paintings. Her creation is unique, special and rare! Her arts, especially those with the hummingbirds inspire me to love, to hope, and to be happy and creative. Her acrylic paintings on canvas, and Fence Chunks from recycled wood, which hang on walls, fences, gates and decks are marvelous!

Omg let me start of by saying this was worth the cost! My boyfriend surprised me with a nice…read morepackage for both of us. Believe we did a couples massage + body scrub and full boy massage for somewhat around $500. The location is lovely and in a small little shopping area near a bunch of other little stores. Nice plant shop in there and had to get myself something. But much much to do around here and I got a few recommendations from the young lady at the front desk. When arriving we parked right by the entrance in the back and walked right in. Was greeted immediately and taken care of. Love the kindness of the ladies at the front and service was very fast. Filled out some paperwork and got right to it. Liliana who was servicing me for the day was a sweetheart from start to finish. She made me feel so comfortable and just knew her magic! I left the place just so relaxed and calm. I will definitely be returning back here for another service. It's very cozy and I love how it was very quiet and they did everything as I expected. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is around. You will love it and want to come back!

I like they had more time to get a massage but again if the massage starts at 10 and it's super dead and they are coming to get up from the lounge at 10 we still had to get situated in the room which obviously cut it to the massage If i go back it's only because they offer longer massage times but I wonder if it matters if they aren't coming to get you in time for your massage lol I would try it again but I'm probably raise this concern as it just a lot of money and consideration of time that should be had because if I was late they make it very clear it is what it is so to be on time and still feel like I was late was unacceptable The massage lady I had like fixed my toe she was freaking amazing I have big toe osteoarthritis and they way she got in there it was amazing I think I got a lymphatic massage I don't even know but OMG most people seem to want to avail the feet and it was like that was he specialty in fixing cricket creaky toes lol I was so impressed how she really massaged the joints and got in there and I was able to be pain free without a flower up for like a month It a sweet place over all we did get lost and directions were a bit confusing but once you find it you'll never forget ! I even stole the playlist music they were playing in the lunge to play at home !

One of the worst salon experiences. Here are the lowlights:…read more 1. Cute salon dogs but one bit my finger (broke skin). Perhaps not the best salon dog. 2. Asked for highlights and a dramatic shift lighter. Left with nearly same color as before (my daughter did not even notice a change when I picked her up). Went with a picture and we fully discussed beforehand. 3. One stylist who was helping iron for the Brazilian blowout was pulling so hard I could feel hairs breaking as he was working. There are so many broken hairs sticking straight up now I look like I got electrocuted. 4. Asked for some face framing pieces and they are so choppy and unblended. 5. With my requests at time of booking (cut, highlights, and a smoothing treatment), I would have hoped to be scheduled with someone with a bit more experience. To her credit, owner offered to fix color in a couple weeks but so much went wrong this first trip I thanked her and told her we are not a good fit. Would not recommend for cut, highlights or smoothing treatments. UPDATE: a few hours later I noticed dye/toner was left on my ear. Picture is after I had already wiped some off. UPDATE 2: For $800, I am glad I gave the salon a learning experience. SMH.

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.

Previously, I was having trouble with breakouts and dull skin even after elevating my home skincare routine. For the past few months, I've been getting the Aqua Hydro Peeling and Plus Facial, and the results have been great! What I appreciate most is how Sia truly tailors each session to my skin's condition that day. It's never a one-size-fits-all approach and she really takes the time to assess what I need before starting. The treatments are so relaxing and since I started coming here, my skin feels much healthier, glowy, and I've seen decrease in breakouts. If you're looking for someone knowledgeable who provides a personalized, high-quality experience, I highly recommend Sia :) The clinic is also very clean and there is plenty of parking in the lot.
