Lori is absolutely phenomenal! I have struggled with acne for 20 years. I have had it all, cystic acne that has left scarring and craters on my face from the typical white and black head pimples. When I started seeing her for treatment we were able to significantly reduce the number of cystic acne and pimples I have after one session. It was incredible. After 5 treatments I am happy to finally say my skin has never looked better! It is much easier to look in the mirror now and my confidence is growing :) read more

Lori has been taking care of my skin for over 10+ years. She's been God sent! I first went to her due to uncontrolled acne and hyperpigmentation issues in my mid 30s. Her recurrent treatments and products have provided outstanding results progressively. My acne has vanished and the hyperpigmentation is controlled. I haven't let another aesthetician touch my skin since!!! I now live in Oahu and faithfully travel to see her for different treatments. Lori has become family to me! She's treated my husband and friends with facials. They always brag about "how they come out glowing" for weeks after seeing her. Lori is also treating my pre-teen daughter for hormonal acne and she's very sensitive of her skin condition and products used in her skin. There's no better aesthetician in San Diego than Lori Legaz!!! She's FOREVER keeping my skin healthy and young! Trust me! BOOK AN APPT...you won't regret it. read more

Lori is a real expert when it comes to skincare and different skin types. She has a cute location right in the Heart of Little Italy. The vibe is relaxing and peaceful. Being by the Ocean really makes this place extra special. I have received multiple services from her and with each treatment she has recommended my skin looks better than before. My skin looks better now than it did in my 20's. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for skincare advice and treatments. read more

I can't thank Lori enough for the work that she's done for me. By improving my skin and educating me on the root causes of the issues.. she's truly improved my life! When I met Lori she took the time to listen to the challenges I've faced with acne over the years and asked thoughtful questions to properly diagnose the potential causes. Not only did she identify a specific treatment that would benefit my skin the most, but she asked me about my skin goals to make sure she knew exactly what we were aiming for in the end. Above all I love working with Lori the most because she has become a true partner to me, in my journey to sustainably clear skin. Like any good partner, we enjoy talking about life throughout the sessions and she's become a good friend that I 100% trust. Her personable relationship building skills, customer-centric ideology and phenomenal treatments.. are why Lori is the only person I trust with my skin and why I would recommend anyone to go see her and see for yourself! read more

This is a long overdue, GLOWING, review for Lori. I've struggled with adult acne for most of my late 20s and early 30s. Lori has completely transformed by skin and my confidence as a result. I was worried my pregnancy, and inability to use the products that had worked for me in the past, would bring my skin back to square 1. The opposite has been true, my skin is the best it's looked in YEARS. Lori is just the best and I can't recommend her enough! read more

I went for a facial and Lori did a great job. Far better than any other places I've been before. Will be going back again for a facial before my friend's wedding next month. read more

I have been a client of Simply Skin ever since they opened at their current location on Fir Street. Lori is the consummate professional. She is knowledgeable, knows what she's doing and how to do it. Above all, Lori has genuine concern for her clients. I strongly recommend Lori for all of her services. read more

I've gotten a few facials in my life, but my experience with Lori has been the best by far. I have eczema, so I was a little worried about how my skin would react, but the Dermasound was so gentle and soothing. She walked me through every step of the process - it's so clear she's an expert and really takes a holistic view of skin care. I don't know the magic behind how it all works, but I had an underground pimple on my chin that never ended up forming after my treatment! The Dermasound is perfect for sensitive skin, and Lori is the best professional you could ask for. I couldn't stop touching my face afterward, it was so soft and clear! I can't recommend Lori enough!! read more

Lorie is a true master at her craft! I booked a facial with her after a good friend gave me her recommendation and boy did she exceed my expectations. What I was mostly impressed with is that she uses a BioMat to warm her table, that's how you know she's good! Lol Again and again please. read more

Lori is caring, knowledgable, and willing to explore skin care options with you. She wants her customers happy, and I think that's because she an amazing human being. read more

I have been getting facials from Lori for over a year now and have seen amazing results, but I remember even after the first session I could see how great my skin looked. She uses special equipment that like power washes your skin and then pumps in all these important vitamins to make your skin super nourished and healthy. I make sure I visit on a regular basis to see results. Every time I leave my face is glowing and you feel great. Overall, I don't breakout as frequently and my skin is so much smoother. She is by far the best facialist I've ever had and I can't recommend her enough! read more

Have you ever gotten THE MACHINE??!!! Probably not, if you haven't been to Simply Skin in Little Italy. Owner, Lori Legaz, is the only esthetician in town with a Dermasound machine for ultrasonic facials. What's an ultrasonic facial? All I know is that I have to be grounded with a band around my wrist because of the electric current, but somehow by running this wand over my face and squirting water on me, she makes my wrinkles disappear. Granted, I'm only 31, but it got rid of the crease between my eyebrows. Did you hear me?! GOT RID OF THE CREASE COMPLETELY! My hubby even gave a big "Wow!" when he saw me and then said he wanted to go too. My face was glowing for about 4 days. I was impressed. But it wasn't just the machine. It was Lori- her technique, her knowledge and her own skin. She is ageless! Her face is a billboard for the skill in which she practices. Plus, she gives a fantastic neck and shoulder rub with her facials and leaves me smelling like a real fancy pants. The topper is her location. Her office sits on the second floor amongst multi-colored shops on Fir St and has a view overlooking the harbor, transporting me to the Bay area with one glimpse. Serene, lavender walls and a sparkly chandelier offer elegance and relaxation upon entering, and upon leaving I am always left with the lasting impression that Simply Skin is simply the best. read more

Lori did a great job making me feel welcomed and comfortable. She is a true professional and you can tell she enjoys what she does. My skin feels incredible!!! Thank you Lori for making my day a great one! read more

I suffered from terrible cystic acne AND eczema when I first met Lori. It was so bad that I was embarrassed to go out or even to the office. Her amazing technique, good advice and ultrasonic treatments cleared everything up within two months of fornightly facials. Her Dermasound machine definitely gave me the results I was looking for. My ultra-sensitive skin usually breaks out after facials, but all I got after one month with Lori was a healthy luminous complexion! If you've suffered from chronic acne like me, chances are that you've tried everything. I've been to countless dermatologists and aestheticians before Lori and truly believe she is one of the best in San Diego. She is knowledgable, caring and committed to maintaining the optimum wellness for my skin. Plus, her studio is warm, clean and inviting. Well worth the money. read more

Lori is amazing! I have been seeing Lori for about two years. She is very knowledgable and knows her stuff! I tends to have outburst of acne here and there. She is currently the only one in San Diego with the ultrasonic machine. Lori use the machine to exfloliate and stimulate my skin to help it rebuild. She calms my breakouts and control it. Wouldn't know what to do without Lori. read more

Lori is exceptional!! I can't believe I have not wrote a review till now. She looks like a delicate butterfly. But don't be fooled her little hands are very strong and she gives the most out of this world neck and shoulder massage coupled with the most luxurious facial. I think I snored and drool was coming out of my mouth. Promise you'll go see her. She will change your world!!! read more

I met Lori about 11 years ago and she has been doing my facials each month since, well might have missed a couple. She knows skin. I have had each of her facials and microderm. I own a business and send her my clients. I refer my clients to her and now they love her too. Her studio is beautiful and inviting with great products and music to relax. Gotta try, but you will be hooked! read more

I suffered with acne most of my life. I finally got it under control in my mid 20's but still had deep oil deposits that never went away. My skin was bumpy, and the pigment was blotchy. It wasn't bad' but the spots that never went away annoyed me terribly. My friend recommended Lori. I am so happy she did! After just one month the deposits had all but disappeared and my skin tone evened out. After 3 months I haven't had any breakouts and my skin is smooth. Face Reality is an amazing product line. Mid range in price, and surprisingly clean and natural. I was ready to use any product that would help and was even more ecstatic that the line was not loaded with chemicals. Lori worked with me in finding the right strength and nailed it the first time. She's wonderful at predicting people's skin and knowing what will work for them. I finally feel happy with my skin again! Thanks Lori! read more

Before going to Lori my skin had breakouts, was dull, and wasn't firm. It's been over a year and my skin is brighter, firmer, and no breakouts! I use the products that Lori recommends and religiously see her every month. The results are amazing that it has given me the confidence to go without wearing makeup. My mom also visits Lori every month (mother daughter time :-) ) and I've noticed that her skin is brighter, firmer, and her sun/age spots have started to clear up. She also uses the products the are recommended and is happy with the results. What separates Lori from other Estheticians is that she takes the time to listen to the client and evaluate the individuals skin to determine the correct treatment. I continue to go to her because she practices what she believes in and is knowledgeable about her products. My mom and I love that her products don't have any harmful chemicals. THANK YOU LORI!!!!! read more

I found Lori through Spa Week in 2008. Lucky me! I tried her signature Ultrasonic Facial. I don't have acne, but I get lots of blackheads. This facial pretty much cleaned the heck out of my face, and left it so clean! It can be slightly uncomfortable, but Lori "makes nice" with a delicious massage. Her place is clean, and she is personable. I keep meaning to go back and haven't, and my skin shows it. read more

Lori- the best thing to happen to my skin and my life! I found Lori because I had been trying, and failing, to solve my problem skin for ten years and I just didn't want to go it alone anymore. I'd tried so many products and diets over the years- switching out cleansers and shampoos and detergents and never really knowing what was making my skin better or worse. My skin wasn't even the big issue- I was tired of constantly thinking about it. After one treatment with Lori, I never had a real breakout again. What's more important, is that I got to move on with my life! I trust her so completely - she is the true definition of a master and has been working with her DermaSound machine for 16+ years (I think I've got that right) so if anyone can use it to its full potential it's her. I'm actually super proud of my skin now- I never thought I'd be able to say that. And I have nothing to do with it- that's 100% Lori. I know every skin journey is different, but for me, I suffered 10 years of skin anxiety and now literally sit back once a month, have a great conversation with a genuine, kind person while she works her magic and then walk away glowing. I feel like I hit the jackpot with her! Thank you Lori! read more

First off, I don't easily give 5 stars... Lori is the best... After searching Google for Dermasound in SD, I came across the Yelp reviews for Lori. She's very experienced and is very good at what she does. She doesn't try to talk you into copious amounts of expensive products; yes, she gives suggestions and all of her suggestions to me and been so worth the price of the product. My boyfriend loves "the glow" I have after going to her. Want beautiful skin? Go to Lori. read more

I just saw Lori for a facial on Tuesday. To begin her studio is great, a really fantastic ambiance on one of my favorite streets in Little Italy. The facial was one of the best I've ever had! Instead of going through some methodical process, Lori really gets to know your skin and does what she knows will help it ... I left feeling refreshed, soft and beautiful -- thank you to Lori for her expertise, kindness and LOVELY facial. read more

I just had an absolutely fabulous facial with Lori yesterday - my first one with her - using the Derma-Sound technique. My skin looked and felt wonderful last night with zero make up, and today it looks even better. I used minimal make up and it went on like silk. The treatment and massage were so relaxing and her salon in Little Italy is adorable. I would recommend Lore for all your facial needs! read more

If you want to look your most attractive, you NEED Dermasound Ultrasonic Facials ... and Lori is one of very few estheticians who has this incredible machine, which is LIGHT YEARS above other facials. This is documented state of the art skin care. It actually improves the circulation in your skin and the ability of nutrients to penetrate your cells and you will be amazed at how it hydrates and thus plumps up your skin. It is amazing to see the difference in how soft and supple and beautiful your skin will look with ultrasonic facial treatment, as opposed to 'normal' facials ... there is NO comparison between the two. And Lori and her lovely salon make the entire experience a true delight. And, I really appreciate that Lori offers a natural line of products as skin should be treated well ... and my own skin is very sensitive. My skin responds beautifully to the ultrasound and natural products. Prior to finding Lori, I had stopped getting 'regular' facials because my skin would react to typical facials at other places with redness and pain and my eyes would sting for days afterwards due to the damage from the synthetic products and 'harsh' techniques used by many estheticians. But, with the Dermasound, my skin actually revives and HEALS with the treatments. The healing is pretty amazing actually. And, after being a client of Lori's for about a year, I am now finding that people often comment that I look younger than my age. And, the setting of the salon is lovely with a great view ... and Lori is so knowledgeable and caring. Lori's Ultrasonic Dermasound based skin care is a 'home run'! read more

Thanks to Lori and Face Reality products and peels I'm enjoying clear skin for the first time in 25 years!!! I first started having issues with acne when puberty hit and I used numerous medications and antibiotics to clear my skin. None of these products were healthy to take long term, so when I stopped taking them my acne came back. During my teen years I comforted myself by thinking that I would outgrow my acne by the time I reached my twenties...unfortunately, my acne never went away and even in my thirties I was battling cystic acne breakouts every month. I tried so many products, chemical peels, and saw several dermatologists who wanted to put me on an antibiotic medication or birth control to treat my acne; but after having a bad experience with birth control in the past (depression) I was hesitant to mess with my hormones. At the age of 36 I was ready to give up and believed I was consigned to a fate of consistent breakouts and hyper pigmentation marks that I would have to spend over an hour hiding with makeup. I prayed, I cried, I was losing almost all hope! Lori at Simply Skin was recommended by a friend so I decided that getting monthly facials would at least help my acne situation. Lori suggested I try the Face Realty products and peels which had been very successful with some of her other clients. I told her I would think about it...and after a few days decided to give it a try. One of the best decisions I ever made!!! In complete honesty, my skin began clearing after 3 months and now (7 months later) it is completely clear! I can even leave the house without makeup and feel confident that my skin LOOKS GOOD! It is a miracle!!! I'm so grateful! I now have acne-free skin, I don't feel I need to plaster my face in foundation to have an even skin tone...I'm no longer hiding my face! Acne was something that made me feel very insecure and embarrassed. I recommend wholeheartedly Lori at Simply Skin and the Face Reality program. I hope this review finds you if you are suffering with acne and helps by pointing you in the right direction! read more

Lori Legaz does a fabulous job with facials and body scrubs. I have been a client for over 5 years and love my monthly sessions to relax and rejuvenate! You look and feel terrific when you leave her beautiful salon. read more

I have been seeing Lori for a number of years. This year I was diagnosed with cancer and am now being treated with a new form of chemotherapy - I take a dose a day. I am feeling pretty good however the drug causes lots of acne and rashes - I am going to Lori every two weeks or so for facials and moisturizing treatments. I started using the 302 products she sells and they are really helpful - very natural and based on avocado. I can't say enough how helpful this has been during my treatment! I feel and look so much better which is half the battle. read more

Lori's facials are amazing for anyone with really oily skin who normally find facials to be tedious painful experiences. This was, by far, the best facial I have ever had and not only that, my skin felt cleaner and healthier than it had ever felt after any other facial. She is very knowledgeable about her products and tools. I can't say enough good things about her. read more
