HNB MediSkin Skin Care & Acne Clinic

Donnia is AMAZING!
I have had many facials from many fancy named salons and spas, from Santa Barbara to Beverly Hills and beyond and HNB Mediskin is far beyond the hype of all others I’ve experienced.
They use their own products, which I was a bit skeptical about at first, but the results are above and beyond all the high priced products like La Mer and Chanel, even Murad and Jan Marini.
They give you results within a few days of using them, not the 4 week lead in that other products promise.
The facials at HNB are beyond compare. you need to treat yourself!
I did not get any of the special offers, I didn’t need to because the cost of the facials are more than reasonable. Initially I paid $ 80 for a European facial which lasted an hour and a half. Total bliss and my skin looked incredible.
I’ve since been back numerous times and have been getting the Sparkling Facial which the Kardashians have their dermatologist administer.
I’m really, really happy with the look of my skin.
One thing to keep in mind is that HNB is a mediskin salon, which is devoid of smelly candles, soft drapes and mood lighting! It gives RESULTS.
Make an appointment and see Donnia — you will not be disappointed!

A place to go if you want results and you can go multiple times.
/​/​Directions /​/​
Located in the tan office building called «Plaza de Oro» at the south east corner of Brookhurst and Crescent. It is NOT the plaza with the Starbucks in it. The spa is on the second floor on the east side of the building. There is plenty of parking in their private lot.
The good: The man who runs the place is very nice. He has a good eye for analyzing skin. He accurately pinpointed my problem areas before letting me in to have my Groupon facial. Everything was clean and quiet. The neck/​shoulder massage was great. They were also sweet enough to call me the next day and ask about my skin.
The bad: They took off my headband towel during the facial and my hair got drenched with product. I went in with fresh hair from the morning shower, and I walked out looking like a monster. My hair was so sticky and unmanageable that I had to take another shower to get it clean again. I definitely could not have gone to any meeting after the facial. Also, the extractions were weak.
I can’t comment on how effective the products were, because I’m really not sure, but they are potent. The next day, my skin was peeling. I still had breakouts in that area in the next week, but my skin was unusually clear about 3 weeks later, which I can’t positively attribute to any service or product, but it’s possible the facial helped. Their products seem better than mass salon brands like Aveda.
The dirty hair was a big pet peeve, so it is not the best place for my values. However, they have good intentions, and they look like they know what they’re doing. It’s worth trying out.

My friend recommended this place so I decided to give it a try since she now has great skin. I used to go there when I lived in OC & the times that I did go it was great. I would get the starter facial. Since I did enjoy the facial and it was at a great affordable price I would go 1 x a month on a regular basis. I have oily skin and some acne as well as well as some brownish acne scars. Over the course of my visits my skin definitely improved. She would also give me a relaxing little shoulder massage at end. I left happy & relaxed each visit! =)

I purchased a groupon for 2 acne facials and Both times i was very dissatisfied. My first facial consisted of 2 masks, a mini massage and poor extractions. I have a problem with acne and I did not feel they did a thorough job with the extractions. the only extractions she performed were on my nose and i had obvious black heads on the side of my face as well, but it was left untouched. The second time there, it was pretty much the same thing but no extractions whatsoever even though I had very visible acne on my chin. Overall these were the worst facials ever and I will not be returning. I give two stars only because the girls were friendly, other than that my experience was terrible.

I had a facila today at HNB mediskin it was the worst facial I have ever had. The reason why I went to HNB mediskin was because of all of the good review in Unilocal.
The receptionist was rude. The place was dirty there was hair every were. The girls had no idea what they were doing! I don’t understand who wrote all of this good reviews about HNB mediskin but take my word for it do not go there. The service was mediocre.

Affordable, clean and great service. I really do not have to say much. Go check it out for yourself. Five Stars! Ask for Melina!

Awesome experience! Melina is a top notch aesthetician, very knowledgeable about her craft and super professional. Although they don’t have those crazy «$ 30 for a 1 Hour Facial» specials anymore (those reviews were posted 2 – 3 years ago), they still run really awesome specials! (I got their Basic Euro Facial which was $ 30 for 30 minutes and I felt more than pampered.
The facility is very clean and modern looking. Even though my skin is problematic I felt completely safe and well taken care of. The products they have for sale and the ones that the facialists work with are not your run-​of-​the-​mill Murad, Dermalogica, etc… from what I understand these are special formulation lines created by the clinic’s own chemist! How cool! They even had one that was organic for sensitive skin.
When I was leaving, Melina sent me home with a small sample size of a liquid hydrator that she thought would be good for my skin. I thought this was a really nice touch :) I took a nap after I got home from my appointment and woke up to clearer, smoother, glowy skin. My skin felt stronger and healthier too.
I will definitely be returning and plan to go at least once a month since they have the $ 30 for 30 mins. special. Fantastic service, HNB!

For someone like me who knows only a little about skin care, HNB Mediskin is a place of great knowledge that they share with their clients. My sister and I came here for the first time, and we loved it! There was no long wait and the place is very clean. As a nurse I know how important bedside manner is and they’ve got wonderful attitudes and are very helpful. They explain what they are going to do so there are no surprises. I had a relaxing time as well. Melina my esthetician is wonderful and knowledgeable. This is definitely a go to place that I can stick with. :)

got my facial! …very satisfied! …karina was great!
thank u Unilocal & Unilocalers! this place is so worth it!

This is a korean run place. The owner his name is Daniel was my facialist for the night. I had a chemical peel & extraction & glycolic acid done to my sisters face. He took the time to study her face and told her that she had nothing to worry about. The place was super clean, smelled very nice and very relaxing. Everything was feng-​shui!
Her bill: $ 70.00
Tip: $ 15.00
After my appointment, I slept very nicely. In the morning I woke up to a cleaner looking face. This is only her 1^st week and she will be returning about 3 – 4 times to clean her face up.
After my sisters experience, I will be going there this weekend for a facial and microdermabrasion. My boyfriend wants to try the stone therapy for athletes. Give this place a try!
Facials starting at $ 30+!

$ 30 facial! Are you kidding me?!
I thought it was going to be some shady place with a row of women lined up and you pick one and then they surprise you with a happy ending.
Nope!
It’s a legitimate little place that doesn’t really get a lot of business it seems so they are always running promos.
When I went it was just a guy working by himself, but he was super friendly and showed me some of his past patients. He particularly specializes in problem skin.
The facial was super duper relaxing and it was like I was going to have to pay $ 100, but nope I walked out of there only $ 40 lighter including tip.
I am just waiting to go back!

This place is A-​mazing! A regular facial only costs $ 30 and lasts for an hour. They’re very professional and they offer a wide range of services such a chemical peels, body treatments, waxing, and more. I recommend this place to everyone — men, women, and teens. I really agree with Elizabeth. The service truly is excellent! HNB Mediskin is definitely worth it.

This is the most amazing place to get a 1 hr facial for $ 30. The service is excellent and you feel well taken care of. I wish I could tell every girl I know about this place! (So here I am…)
They really know what they’re doing and it seems that they get results for problem skin.
