I had never heard of SkinSpirit until recently, when two of my friends couldn't stop raving about…read moretheir microneedling treatments there. I was gifted a SkinSpirit gift card for my birthday, so I decided to book a consultation--and I'm so glad I did. For context, I've been to countless laser and aesthetic clinics over the years (from Los Angeles to Hawaii), and this was the first time I truly felt welcomed without any pressure. From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive. What stood out most was that I never felt like I was being sold anything. Instead, they took the time to understand my goals, educate me on their services, and made the entire experience feel relaxed and personalized. I've always been hesitant about Botox and fillers, but after seeing their natural, balanced results and having a consultation with Dr. Linder, I actually felt comfortable--excited, even--to finally pop my Botox/filler cherry with SkinSpirit. As someone who is genuinely afraid of needles, Dr. Linder made the experience so easy. She was gentle, reassuring, and used techniques that made the process feel virtually painless. All of my anxiety completely melted away, and I felt truly cared for throughout. Also, shoutout to the front desk--especially the well-dressed gentleman who helped me recover and redeem a lost gift card. That level of customer service did not go unnoticed. Hands down, one of the best birthday gifts I've received. I'm so happy to have found a place that not only delivers amazing results but also makes you feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely taken care of. SkinSpirit has earned a lifelong client.

I hate to leave bad reviews, but I don't want someone else to have the experience I have had…read more I had a facial on 10/9. I explained to Houda that I have dry, sensitive skin and am on tretinoin, which further sensitizes skin. Certain ingredients don't mix well with tretinoin and if you're doing a peel, micro needling, etc you have to stop tret use for several days leading up to treatment. During my facial, she applied a salicylic acid mask that immediately burned my skin, to the point that my eyes were watering and it was unbearable to leave on longer than about a minute or two. By the time I got home, my skin was bright red, like a bad sunburn. By 10/11, my skin was peeling off in chunks. I emailed Houda and she replied some dryness and tightness is normal. I am now 4 days out and my entire face is still peeling in large pieces. If I was there for peel, that'd be ok, but I just went for a facial and had no intention of getting a peel and it was never discussed. Houda's response to my concerns has felt a bit dismissive and told me this is a normal reaction. If that's the case, I wish the communication had been better- I had no idea she was going to use a product that'd cause my face to peel intensely for days on end. After looking into the product used, it is not intended to cause peeling. It seems like this product shouldn't have been used on sensitive skin or on a client using tretinoin. The manufacturer of the product advised me to see a doctor regarding this reaction. Based on other reviews I know Houda can do great work, unfortunately I don't think this is a good option for people with sensitive skin looking for a facial.

I had a few cherry angioma's on my torso (that is not me in the photo). They're harmless (found…read moremostly on fair skinned people) but weird (for lack of a better word). Houda, the proprietor, zapped them in a matter of a few minutes and they are now completely gone. Houda also does tattoo removal - for people who lacked the good judgement not to get dolphins and Garfield that Cat tatted to their ankles back in the 80's. The salon is gorgeous and she works Tuesday - Saturday: 10 am - 6:30 pm and her prices are lower than other salons that I'd checked out. If you want to get rid of some cherry moles or ridiculous tattoos (that your mother warned you not to get), give her a call.

I never made appointments right before a big night out, or even before going to work, because I'd need to go hide while my face recovered. I thought facials needed to be that way and just accepted it. But guess what: Noooo they don't! I left Pamela's office looking way better than when I walked in. My skin was smooth, silky, even toned, and not greasy! The facial itself was totally zen. I drifted and floated. But it's the results that floored me. Afterward she gave me a little card that had handwritten the names of the products she had used and what her top three recommendations for me were. There was no pushy product-selling business, which I really appreciated. I will go back and recommend her wholeheartedly!

When you combine experience, intelligence, natural talent, resourcefulness, cutting edge research, dedication and true caring--you get a miracle-worker like Marina. Though it pains a vain, beauty-loving girl to publically proclaim it, I've been struggling with breakouts for my entire adult life. I've been dry-iced and dried out with topicals. Stuffed with antibiotics and spironolactone. Blue-lit, poked and prodded. All to no avail. Oh, some months were better than others. But in the end, I had to admit, it was getting worse, not better. Dermatologists told me they were "doing everything they could," and claimed the only remaining option was the infamous, side-effect inducing Acutane. I was at my wit's end. Make-up, my only ally. And even that mask was beginning to crack ... I decided to try an aesthetician. Someone world-class. I needed to pull out "the big guns." Through a series of review searches and pure glorious good fortune, I found Marina Volod & Dermaesthetica. I knew I liked Ms. Volod when the first thing she said to me, after initial introductions, was: "Tell me the story of your skin." She even sat down, ready for a long one. This was extremely touching for someone who had been shuffled through appointments year after year with clinical apathy. Marina has a vast arsenal of magic tricks up her sleeve--a sorceress of skin! I saw improvement instantly. As soon as I began following Marina's new prescribed regimen (which was quite simple, but precise) and using her products, I noticed I wasn't seeing any new breakouts. The redness was fading. Marina performed a moderate chemical peel to start working on the scar damage. The result was spectacular. Not only did my scars diminish noticeably, but my entire complexion has taken on a glowing, healthy vitality I haven't seen in years. Also for the first time in years, I'm leaving the house without make-up. Getting compliments on my skin! I am looking forward to a second peel; the first one was already so successful. We are still in the midst of my "recovery plan" scar-wise, but for the first time in years I have high hopes! Thanks to my new aesthetic ally, my complexion has been clear and healthy-looking for months, which alone is enough to make a girl write a gushing review.

Sheri's got a very soothing touch and massaged my hands, arms, shoulders, neck and head - divine!
