The moment I walk in, I feel a sense of relaxation and calmness come over me. From the warm smile greeting you at the front desk, to the simplistic white/marble decor, to the spa-like smells - Dermaplus truly sets the tone for a relaxing afternoon. I get a Signature + Aquadermabrasion facial from Elaine. She is incredibly attentive and skilled! She always manages to get even the toughest extractions on my skin. I also love the massages she gives during the facial session. It completes the experience and makes it feel even more relaxing. Along with regular facials, I have been using Dermaplus' products which are clean and custom blended. I trust Dermaplus' quality and know I am putting top ingredients on my skin. I highly recommend purchasing their products. All in all, Dermaplus is an amazing place to get your facial, and enjoy quality products for your skin. I always leave feeling happy and with a skip in my step with my bag of goodies that I purchased :) Thank you Dermaplus!

She took the time to explain absolutely everything, including her specific thought process behind my treatment, and she was so incredibly patient with all my questions. Her communication is crystal clear. Unlike a lot of other providers, she actually schedules a two-week follow-up just to take a look at her work and double-check that everything settled perfectly, which I really appreciated. She even showed me my before and after pictures so I could really see the results. I completely trust her--she takes her time, and I never once felt rushed. Plus, she doesn't have any of that pretentiousness you sometimes get at these places; it's just easy, down-to-earth conversation. She was so sweet during my first treatment and even gave me a little discount, which was an awesome bonus. I will definitely be back!

Nics is the absolute sweetest and is the Skin Expert that takes care of me 99.9% of the time. She is so thorough during the treatment and I always leave Saelo with glowing skin. I have gone in for The Idealist treatment twice now since writing this review and Allison handled both appointments. During my first appointment in July, I had units of Xeomin injected into my forehead, glabella, and masseters. I was initially a bit hesistant to get Xeomin but Allison made me feel very comfortable and informed before proceeding. During my second appointment in August, I had shots of Oligio all over my face and jawline. When first getting Oligio, I wasn't too sure what to expect in terms of results. Now I am 3-months post-treatment and beyond impressed. My jawline looks so much sharper and my face is a lot more balanced in terms of shape. With seamless booking, straightforward check-in, knowledgeable staff, beautifully designed treatment rooms, and real results, Saelo has won me over for the foreseeable future. Can't wait to see the Hayes Valley location come to life!

I called to book him an appointment the day before and told the receptionist that I would prefer someone good and I asked if a male masseuse would be better. She stated that actually the female masseuse would be better if I was comfortable and I appreciated that and said yes I would love the female masseuse for my husband. She the tells me all the accolades the female masseuse that will be working on my husbands back has. Next day, my husband arrives and ends up with Rafael. My husband said Rafael did what he could but unfortunately did not get most of his knots out. When he got home, I massaged his back and was surprised with the amount of knots he still had. It was as if he never got his deep tissue massage. I'm deeply saddened because my husband still ended up paying out of pocket (expensive massage) and he did not feel relaxed after. On top of that, my husband sends me pictures of the locker room that was under construction and said guys were going on and out while he was changing. Very disappointing experience compared to the many other massage spots in SF.

READ 1st before USING this MED SPA!!!…read moreHayes Valley Med Spa Staff - BURNED ME SEVERELY !Staff caused SEVERE BURNS 3rd degree- via faulty admin of -- COOL-SCULPT ELITE ! POST-BURNS 1. Dr. Hvistebdahl w Linda Behla prescribed strong NARCOTICS to me asap 1st 30days Rx OXYCODONE DR refilled narcotic Rx, for 30d more! 2. Dr Hvistendahl -- THO REFUSED to ever meet me ! 3. Dr. Hvistendahl also REFUSED to EXAMINE ME or my BURNS. 4. DR even REFUSED to do a phone-call w me-& I begged INSANE. ILLEGAL. XTRA VITAL FACTS: 1. Linda Behla RN (owner) is named/accused in litigation-court-dox, for causing a patient facial deformity w fillers 2. In CALIF, A Med Spa, is required to have a legit DR as MEDICAL DIRECTOR - A Dr engaged & available . 3. Dr. Hvistendahl is NOT. He is ONLY "named" as MED DIRECTOR, to keep "LIC" but he's offsite & unavailable for MED needs of SpaPATIENTS. 4. Dr. Hvistendahl DOES NOT do any of FOLLOWING: supervise Pt.cases, consult w HV staff, review complex med. cases, onsite upon 911, NOR is he LEGIT as their "onsite Dr" - NO!! VITAL NOTE-1: Dr Hvistendal ACTUALLY stepped in ONLY due to URGENCY when LINDA BEHLA needed FAST REPLACEMENT for her original partner /original Dr, who RN/BEHLA had 1st started her Spa with. NOTE-2: LINDA BEHLA had started HayesValleyMedSpa w a PRIOR DR who "acted" as PRIOR MEDICAL DIRECTOR- BUT that prior DR-& her 1st partner LOST HIS MD LICENSE. It's all public in court filings; & frankly, in same filings, (LINDA at court w him) you can read a complaint re: "RN" (LB) from her patient explaining -'RN permanently deformed face w fillers..' & how there was 'NO help available from 1st Med Dir.' if Linda's to keep MedSpa she urgently had to hire DR as "MED DIR" per CA LAW Bottom Line : @HVSpa, DR. NEVER has acted as legit Med Director. In fact, @HVMSpa- "Med Dir. help" is just not real, & not avail for patients. "Med Director " is their fake placeholder to hold CA LIC. . In CA. tho, these violations are illegal. A MED SPA is required to have a legitimate DR acting on behalf of patient's safety. The DR must be fully accessible & aware of patient cases, files, complexities, staff, training, equipment safety, issues, & certainly a DR who will be ONSITE ASAP wEMERGENCY A Med Director should never prescribe ANY NARCOTICS for 3rd degree burns, or any severe & excruciating injury, without meeting the Pt., examining Pt, speaking to the Pt & understanding all details of Pt. Injury, experience & pain! To fill a strong narcotic for 30 days while refusing to even talk by phone- is bad enough-but to know BURNS are so bad, Pt requires an additional 30d of narcotics (60d) & STILL refuse to examine BURNS or meet Pt, that's clearly 100 % ILLEGAL. If CALIF knew HayesValleyMed Spa fraudulently told patients "Dr Hvistendahl is the Medical Director," - if CALIF understood that patients thought a DR is available - that Spa would be shut down. Yes- in CA its illegal NOT to have a MED DIRECTOR... but it's just as ILLEGAL in CA for a Spa (HVMed Spa) to have Medical Director who is practicing fraudulently. If the accountable DR, through deception, & fraud, is KNOWINGLY causing patient HARM, that's illegal. *knowing infliction As HVISTENDAHL's patient, I had URGENT MEDICAL NEEDs..the MED DIR, that Dr, Dr Hvistendahl, hid! Simultaneously- via Linda, he prescribed - super strong narcotics & the DR continued Rx for months! & They refused to compensate me in any way - CAN YOU IMAGINE? Going for COOL SCUPLT ELITE & ending up in bandages every single day for over a year, disabled under TOP BURN CARE DR in NATION.. & no offer to compensate. They're all so gross. I'm one of multiple patients harmed. SEE MANY PIX!

The environment was relaxing with comfortable treatment tables, natural lighting, and soft music. I was very happy with the results, as my brows look polished yet natural.

The space is one giant room with curtains separating guests as they are getting their facials. It has high ceilings and the space is very soothing once you enter. On a Monday afternoon, it was really busy! I could tell as I was being taken to my section that there were at least 4-5 other people getting their facials. Once you're with your esthetician, you go through the usual questions (allergies, sensitivities, what products did you use this week, etc.) and the facial starts! The facial went by pretty quickly and there's a short massage (with some aromatherapy) starting and ending the facial which was very stress relieving. My overall payment + tip came out to around $120. And I got some samples to bring home with me to try! I think if/when I was to come next time, the only thing I would change is not have the add on (scalp massage) as I couldn't feel it during my facial. But other than that I think that FACE FOUNDRIÉ is worth trying at least once if you're looking for a facial at an inexpensive price point and looking for a place that can help you start maintaining a facial routine.

I booked an appointment with Roxanne after seeing so many great reviews on Yelp. I have acne-prone…read moreskin and have tried a lot of products and specialists over time. I also follow a maintenance routine prescribed by my dermatologist and usually get facials periodically, so I came in specifically for a facial. Roxanne is a very pleasant woman and looks great, which naturally builds trust. We agreed on a deluxe facial. The experience itself was honestly fantastic. At one point, while I had a mask on and steam over my face, she was also massaging my hands and feet, which made the whole experience deeply relaxing. Physically, it was exactly what I needed. However, there were two important things that didn't sit right with me and are the reason I wouldn't come back. First, regarding the treatment itself: I expected the facial to include extractions, but it ended up being only chemical and ultrasonic cleansing, without manual extractions. This is important for me since I had some closed comedones. Maybe that was just a mismatch in expectations, which I can understand. What affected me much more was the second part. After the 1.5-hour treatment, when I was very relaxed, Roxanne offered me water, stepped out so I could get dressed, and then came back in to discuss "next steps." She asked about my current skincare, and I mentioned dermatologist-prescribed products (Differin and azelaic acid). She responded somewhat dismissively, saying something along the lines of "that's from the pharmacy, right? It's not as good as these..." and then started pulling out products she recommended instead. She then calculated everything on her phone and showed me a total of around $550, including the facial (about $215) and three products, each around $100. She mentioned there was a discount available right now and said there was "no pressure," but it definitely felt like a strong sales push. I'm not someone who makes quick purchasing decisions, especially not impulsively and not at that price point. In the past, I've appreciated when specialists recommend options in different price ranges or explain alternatives with similar active ingredients, so I can make an informed decision based on my budget. That didn't happen here, and the situation felt like aggressive upselling, especially right after such a relaxing treatment. I told her I wasn't planning on that kind of budget and needed time to think, and asked if I could take photos to research the products. She said she would send me links and asked that I purchase through her if I decide to go ahead, since she spent time explaining everything. I left feeling very mixed. Physically, I felt great, but emotionally I felt a bit drained. I understand everyone needs to make a living, but I really don't like aggressive sales tactics, especially during a first visit and when it comes with dismissing what already works for me. I don't have any negative feelings toward Roxanne personally, but I wouldn't choose to repeat this experience.
