Love, love LOVE this place!

by dynaface at Citysearch

The facials and skin care routine that owner Marion introduces to me are fabulous and produce results! Don't waste your money on Burke-Williams or other spa "factories" that don't do much more than provide you with some quiet time. Marion and her staff are friendly, knowledgable and exactly what you need for beautiful, glowing skin now and in the future. LOVE!!!!!!!!

  • Pros: Best facials in LA
  • Cons: Nothing!

Best facial in LA.

by csr1 at Citysearch

I am new to LA and have been getting facials for a few years. I did a ton of research and tried a few places in LA and was so happy to find Skin Sense. Miriam is extremely knowledgeable and has been in the skin care business for over 20 years. Their products and services are top-of-the line and their prices are reasonable. I am thrilled to have found such a place that not only has impeccable quality, but truly enjoyable people!

Finally, my skin looks better after a facial!

by burd007 at Citysearch

I've been afraid of facials for a long time, even when I've mentioned that I have mild acne rosacea & very sensitive skin, in the past I've always broken out afterwards. Not this time! Nancy was great, very gentle & honest, asked about my normal regimen including my diet, and I like that more holistic approach. Gave me samples but didn't try to sell me anything. Very nice, quiet, friendly atmosphere. And a nice cozy blanket during the facial, too!

  • Pros: friendly, comfortable, highly competent, no sales pressure

You have to try this place out!

by Brit998 at Citysearch

This is my first review...EVER! But I felt it deserved a mention after 5 years of coming here. I'm really paranoid about where I get facials because getting a bad facial is not like getting a bad manicure or wax. I was told by my aunt in London who is an experienced esthetician that you have to be so careful when it comes to your skin. Skin Sense was recommended to me by a number of trustworthy sources and so I gave it try. I was so impressed. Firstly they are the nicest friendliest people. But more importantly they really do know all about skin. Not only do they give the best facials but they are all very experienced and they really are up to date with all the new things on the market. I am now a regular and I would definitely recommend you give them a try.

  • Pros: Experienced and good value
  • Cons: none
