Skin Logic Atlanta

Yelena gives great facials with excellent advice on follow up skin care! Extractions are very important in facials and she’s a pro at them!

I’m SO LAZY. I’ve been going to Yelena for years. Typically, if I’m unhappy with a place, I just don’t come back; if I am happy, I keep coming back. It’s time to give credit where credit is due. Well, I started with Yelena a few years ago via a groupon. I kept coming back because I knew immediately that I was getting a higher quality service than facials in the past that put a mask on you and rub your scalp for a second and you leave feeling good but your skin isn’t altogether too different a few hours later. Yelena always does extractions on me (because I need them). They’re never fun but any real aesthetician isn’t going to let you leave without going beyond surface skin level. If they do, don’t ever go back. Sometimes, I don’t even know how good of a facial I had until a week later when my skin is still clear and soft. Yelena also really knows her business. If I change up my diet or my skin routine, she knows immediately and gives me frank, honest feedback. My expensive Laura Mercier moisturizer? She tells me immediately «you’re doing something different. what is it? I don’t like it whatever it is. Go back to using your korean stuff’. You just can’t get one by her. Most of us get facials because we want our skin to look good. If you just want to feel good for an hour, I suggest the Remede Spa at the St. Regis just down the street. For $ 180, they’ll give you a glass of wine and you’ll have a very pleasant one hour experience. For a fraction of that, I can get a superior facial that lasts weeks. While some have complained about the location, I think Pharr Rd Buckhead is extremely convenient and I appreciate that Yelena keeps her costs down by offering a valuable service instead of a «valuable» building façade.

This was a TERRIBLE experience. The worst facial I have ever received. The business was located in a dilapidated building (stains on the carpet, stains on the ceiling, stains on the robe I was given to wear), the «esthetician» (I don’t believe that she is licensed) had TERRIBLE bedside manner (she cussed several times, and kept telling me how terrible my skin was by saying, «I’m just being honest…»), and the facial was horrific (she did not have the proper equipment available for facials– no steam?!, and caused A LOT of pain during extractions such that I asked her to STOP and my face is now bruised). I was bullied into making an appointment for the second facial in my package while I was there (even though I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO HER AGAIN). And she redeemed the Groupon as soon as I made my appointment ensuring that I can’t get a refund (although good on Groupon– they refunded me groupon bucks). Before I left she told me that «all extractions hurt, and that I must not have been getting good facials before. Next time buck up.» Ummm, I’ve gotten facials at places all over town– chains, independent estheticians– NEVER have I been in a worse environment, treated so horribly, and so unhappy with the services.

Became a customer of Yelena’s due to a Groupon I purchased. At first I was skeptical because of the negative reviews on Groupon, however I (and my skin) cannot be more thankful that I purchased the Groupon despite the reviews. Booking my first appointment was a breeze, and from the first facial I was hooked! Yelena is VERY good at what she does and she gives you a very personable yet professional experience. The space is small but it gives a very intimate feel so I actually prefer it over larger places I’ve gone in the past. I booked the package after my first facial with her and will continue to do so because my skin is now so amazing that I have actually had cowokers ask what type of foundation I use now… and I don’t even wear makeup! Do yourself a favor, book the package… that way you know you’re coming back and can get results. I suffer from dry, peeling skin (I am African American) but I now no longer have to use as many products due to the Hydration treatment she offers as an ad-​on.

Purchased Groupon deal. Read reviews re: difficulty setting appt, and contacted via phone and left a message, and immediately sent message via email by link provided by Groupon. I was contacted back in less than 2 hours, with an appointment on the books. No problems whatsoever! :)

As an actor, I take my skin care seriously and getting quality treatment is very important to me. Time after time I have turned to Yelena with Skin Logic Atlanta for my needs and time after time I am thoroughly pleased with the results.
Yelena uses quality products, does a thorough cleansing of my skin, gives a wonderful massage while my face is under a rejuvenating mask, and she provides great advice for my care at home. And, she does all of this for an incredible price!
I am very pleased with the high quality treatment I get from Skin Logic and will be a customer of Yelena for a long long time.

Skin Logic Atlanta has the poorest answering service. I asked for an appointment for a mild facial; she coldly stated «there is none.» Next, I asked when are there available dates she stated «What? Speak up what did you say?» I told her the customer service is not too comforting. She hung up the phone with a blast. I can still feel the dynamite ringing in my ears. I deal with customers at my job everyday handling over 780 calls in one-​month as recorded in my performance evaluation. No excuse for bad manners when your in any type of business. I guess they never heard of customer service, get some training.

I have been a loyal customer of Yelenas 4 years and very sad to be moving away. Hands down the best and most effective facials I’ve ever had. Her extractions are one of the things that makes them so great – she has a gentle but firm way of really getting in there and clearing you up where you’re congested. Her neck and shoulder massage that comes with the facial is also excellent and so relaxing. She’s a 1-​woman show that does everything from accounting to booking appointments to cleaning so she can be hard to reach by phone but I’ve never had any problems texting her. She offers bundles of massages that you can buy making it a great deal. I go to Yelena every 3 months or so and its always a nice treat. She uses all Dermalogica products and she never tries to sell you on products. Instead you’ll hear her advice to go down the street and buy witch hazel for a toner, coconut oil for a moisturizer, olive oil and sugar for exfoliation and tea tree oil for acne or blemishes. I love how she never pushes pricey products on me. Saves a ton of money to stick to a natural skin regimen. She also doesn’t advertise these as much but she also does body waxes and body scrubs which are great. Don’t be turned off or confused by the building that it’s in – it’s a cute house where a lot of professionals set up their offices. Yelena’s space is great and cozy. You will walk out of there relaxed, glowing and clean. She is the real deal and I continue to highly recommend her!

Skin Logic is located in a tiny place in Buckhead but don’t let the location sway your opinion, Yelena has the perfect set up with little overhead so she can focus on you and your skin instead of pricy extra fees and pushing products. There were plenty of parking spots available. Up the stairs in the corner is Skin Logic, where Yelena is set up.
Once I arrived, I felt completely relaxed. Yelena introduced herself, and I immediately felt comfortable with her. She was warm, professional, and her skin was just glowing and beautiful! She took me to the facial room where she asked me a few questions about my skincare regimen and created a customized facial for me. It was very relaxing, and included steam, extractions, and shoulder massage. She is a very knowledgeable and experienced esthetician, and her hands are incredible!
Extractions are never pleasant, but necessary for beautiful and healthy skin. Yelena does not use tools, only her hands. This is the sign of someone who is skilled. After the facial, she recommended a couple of products, but all are natural products and again, no push for selling products.
There is currently a Groupon deal you can check out to try her. Appointments may take some time to make because she is on her own, but I wouldn’t go to another person just because getting on the schedule is easy. Booking in advance is common, so just plan ahead. Yelena gave me a special deal on a package for additional facials and it wasn’t a question to take the deal.
I am now a loyal client of Yelena and already sent a friend to use one of my appointments… this was her first facial ever (insert shocked face). My friend text me after the appointment raving about how her skin was glowing and how Yelena had explained so many options for her skincare régime that were easy and affordable.
Take advantage of the Groupon deal, but make sure to buy additional facial packages… I promise, your skin will love you for it.

I had a facial two days ago. The following day I found the extraction left a scab on my face between my eyebrows. I also found several of my individual eyelashes in my hair the next day, where she had wiped clumps of them off. She didn’t even tell me she had removed them and I had to leave the appointment and go home immediately because of that. I won’t be back.

I initially found Yelena from a Half Off Depot coupon when she was at the old location on Paces Ferry Place, and I have been coming back for the past three years. I love that she uses Dermalogica products — which don’t overly irritate my sensitive skin — and I especially enjoy her facial massage technique. So relaxing! Extractions can be painful, but I appreciate it once I see the glowing results in the mirror afterward.
In addition to Yelena’s excellent facial skills, she is a great product adviser. I have completely changed my skin care routine thanks to her affordable suggestions of witch hazel as a toner, tea tree oil as a spot treatment and coconut oil as a nightly moisturizer — and my skin has never looked better. I had been spending way more on less effective products at other salons and Sephora. What a waste!
Really, this speaks to the core of Yelena’s business. You pay for a great facial and honest advise, not for a fancy location and pricey products that are constantly pushed on you regardless of your needs. I will continue to go back for these reasons, even if I have to book a couple months of out! It’s so worth it!

I’ve been going to Yelana for 2 years now for my quarterly facial, and I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with her. I’m way more interested in getting a great facial, and supporting a local business, than paying for all the bells & whistles that places like Spay Sydell & Blue Medspa build into their prices (hot saunas, relaxation areas, etc). When I ask her for advice on what kind of cleanser or lotion to buy, she doesn’t try to sell me on super high-​end brands, and she offers up suggestions for simple hydrating masks I can do at home.
I originally found her through Groupon, and as others have mentioned I had to wait a couple weeks because SO many people were redeeming the coupons and she’s only one person, but it’s worth the wait!

Great facial, but after she already pocketed the 20 bucks for the «hydrating upgrade» (which didn’t add any more time and perhaps only added an additional dollar’s worth of product) she complained that my tip was not 20% of the full retail value of the service. That’s just rude.

I found this business through
. When I called and asked to book an appointment, owner said that she would need to redeem my voucher first and then book my appointment in 3 weeks. This ensures that she gets paid regardless if she provides services or not. When I questioned her business tactics, she encouraged me to contact HalfOffDepot; insisted that this was the proper practice AND that HalfOffDepot would «vouch» for her. I contacted HalfOffDepot — No one would «vouch» for her; they basically said I was taking my chances and the best they could do if she did not provide services would be to issue me a store credit at HalfOffDepot.
