The Gorgeous Lady

This was such a great EXPIERNCE. Elena was so nice and welcoming. Talked me through everything. Very calming and easy. In and out in 15 min. Loved it! Definitely going back.

Elena is very good. With how she talks about your skin, you would know that she’s very good and she’s professional. She gave me a lot of tips to improve my daily regimen for my face. I’m definitely coming back.

«Excellent experience. Elena is a true professional, at the top of her game. The work she did on my face was incredibly thorough using first rate products in a beautiful and pristine environment. Lovely treatment, great results! I shall return; she knows what she’s doing and I love the way she does it»

This is a very subjective review based on my personal preferences for how I prefer my facials and massages, and my skin-​care needs.
I have had facials very regularly for some 20+ years now, across the US, and a few countries outside the US as well. My skin seems to need a little more rigor than one would offer with ultra-​gentle strokes or products that are almost benign that they would never harm your skin, but will likely not give great benefits either (unless used for half your life-​span). I am alluding to the honey facial that I got from Elena, where she uses the purest honey exclusively for the facial massage.
The facials were good. Elena was good. The first time that I went to her, I used her Groupon promo, to test-​drive. And then I followed up with regular facials. Not a single hassle with her Groupon promo. She is very, very gentle with your skin, and she has my highest recommendation if one never had facials done, or very infrequently done to get started with a regimen, or would generally like to see her very regularly (every 3 weeks) for skin maintenance.
While I would have definitely considered her as my aesthetician for regular facials (ever 3 weeks), it would have been too expensive for me. I probably could get away with a facial every other month for the same price as hers ($ 80 — $ 120) at some other med-​spas that I have come to rely on over time.
But I would highly recommend Elena for anyone that wants to get started with facials.

Wonderful experience! Came in from Phoenix visiting friends in Alameda over Thanksgiving. We decided to have a girls day out to lunch and then facials. Elena was able to accommodate us last minute for our facials. I have sensitive skin and she chose the best facial for my skin type. My skin was so soft and smooth. I really liked the products she used (so much so that we purchased some of those as well) Enjoyed the tea and sweets she served too! Will definitely come back when I am in California again. Thanks again Elena!

Went back again. Elena is still doing a great job. She anticipates your needs and give you solutions where you want to go with your skin. I still recommend her.

What a lovely woman! Elena is great. Highly recommended and I’ll be back. Thank you.

I have been looking for the right person to take care of my skin. Elena is fantastic with my skin. I have very sensitive skin and she has given me so much useful information on how to take care of it on a daily basis. My skin always feels wonderful after I leave and the whole experience feels like a lovely day of being pampered. Don’t miss out on her.

First time getting a facial in almost 10 years and I loved the experience. The products she uses smell so amazing and it is so relaxing. Found her on groupon and I will definitely be back!
She also tinted my eyelashes and they turned out really dark and pretty! Saying goodbye to mascara for a while! Truly a great experience!

It was my first time coming in for a facial yesterday, and I liked my experience! Elena was great; it was a very soothing experience for the most part, and it when it came to extractions, of course it really hurt, but surprisingly, my face wasn’t nearly as red as I expected! Can’t wait to go back for my next appointment in a month!

Since last year, I have been a loyal customer for The Gorgeous Lady Salon.
I try to schedule an appointments with Elena at least once a month. I believe that, she has a magic touch. Every time, I visit the salon, I look younger. Lots of good advice from her. And she is always using a healthy product.
She makes me happy !! Thank you Elena!

As an update… I’m quite disappointed to receive «less than appropriate» messages from the merchant Elena. My mother always said that if you have nothing nice to say… say nothing. Also because I work the overnight shift, once I got stood up from my 11am appt I spent the rest of my day sleeping!!!
It’s not professional to mark my Living Social voucher as «used» to get paid for services you did NOT provide. Thank goodness the folks at Living social are decent and will give me my refund so I can try another merchant. This is my RIGHT! I’ll always gladly pay for what I receive, but not for anything I did NOT receive. Bad bad form!!!

I love Elena’s place and her services!!! She always does a terrific job on my hair; it is SO GOOD that I can easily style it every day for 3 months after she has my haircut done!
Elena’s place reflects her own spirit: it’s tranquilizing and serene. She made it like a little oasis where you can relax and come back to your senses disturbed by craziness of the outer world…
Elena does everything with dignity and respect to her clients.
She is very flexible with appointment times, so even if you make a last minute decision to come to her, you can rely on her wonderful ability to make it happen really soon. She always meets you half way.
And I must underline, Elena’s patience is outstanding: for a few times I was running late for my appointments with her, and she always waited for me and never got angry. When she happened to be little late for our appointment due to heavy traffic or family emergencies, she notified me by a few phone calls and text messages, and stayed in touch with me until we finally met.
I personally know a few very happy Elena’s regular clients. I also eye-​witnessed brand new clients coming to her place and becoming her regular clients instantly, ’cause they loved her professionalism and friendly place.
I have been recommending Elena to everyone, and will keep on doing that.

I called after 7:00pm in the off chance I could get squeezed in for a last minute pedi, and she squeezed me in! Her space is super cute, well decorated, and welcoming. She also made me comfortable to try eyelash and eyebrow tinting for the first time. Awesome results! I’ll be back again for sure. :)

I had my first facial with Elena today. She was very meticulous with the extractions and gave me some good advice for home care and didn’t try to push products.
She’s really good and I’ll be going again. Her space is super clean, quiet and beautifully decorated. It was a wonderfully relaxing experience and my skin looks great. Thanks Elena.

Just got a brow wax and tint done. So happy with the result. The color turned out nicely and together with the wax it looks like I actually have eyebrows. Thank you!

Very happy to have Elena giving me facials now for almost 3 yrs. She is very knowledgable and receptive to input on what you want to get out of your session. Her brow and lip waxes are very gentle and i have never had a bad reaction. The six facial deal is super priced and has kept me going on a regular basis. Would highly recommend her!

I had the pleasure of a facial with Elena and it was perfect! Her newly remodeled spa is gorgeous and I love the new relaxation room. Elena provided me with a great customer service .My skin feels wonderful after treatments, all the masks and products were selected by Elena specifically for my skin type. Thank you so much for taking great care of me

I purchased a groupon and really enjoyed my time with Elena. She is professional and doesn’t push products on you. I LOVED the eyelash and brow tinting she did. I had a waterfall facial. but didn’t really see that great of a difference in skin texture the next day. I think I prefer more aggressive treatments at my age. But my skin was dry and is less so now.
Overall it was very relaxing and a treat to have! Parking on site is nice too.

Elena is wonderful! She did a fantastic job guiding me through the eyebrow and eyelash tinting process and made me feel very comfortable. The result was beautiful and lasted longer than I expected. She also did my facial and I absolutely loved the experience. Another great thing is she gave me tips about homemade toners and skin care that was practical and affordable for me since I am a full time student. My fiancé was with me the whole time and she didn’t make it awkward that I wanted him there or make any comments about it. She offered him tea and they even chatted while she worked her magic.
Elena is a great esteitichian as well as a warm, kind, and most of all lovely and genuine person. I enjoyed my time with her and look forward to going back in the future.
