Sara Jamison Esthetics

Amazing — I literally cannot believe how good my skin looks.
I’ve had trouble with breakouts for the past 10 years now. I started going to Sara for facials about 5 – 6 months ago. I started off with just facials and using her products at home. for the first couple of months I just noticed a decrease in the number of breakouts I’d get. Then a couple months in, I got the lactic acid peel series and started using the retinol product every day after completing the series. I honestly cannot believe how good my skin looks. I haven’t had a pimple in 4 weeks (big deal for me), and the pigmentation from old acne scars are almost completely gone. The overall tone of my skin is actually bright. I never thought I’d be one of those people with bright skin. I finished the peel series almost 3 months ago now, and my skin just continues to get better. It’s crazy. Go see her.

I’m pretty happy here and plan to go back. I’ve never really been into facials, but I really saw results with Sara’s chemical peels in decreasing my adult acne and acne scars. One of the things I’m most happy with are the product recommendations. They’re definitely pricey but I seriously haven’t had a major breakout in about 6 months (after normally getting monthly monsters).
The only reasons I’m taking off 1 star are relatively minor. I think her services are pricey and the products are very pricey. Probably an example of getting what you pay for. The second thing it that a few times she was a tad late for appointments. I still got my full service and she was always very accommodating of my schedule but if you’re on a tight schedule you might find it annoying.
In any case, I’ll definitely be back.

Sara is the only person that’s ever been able to get my skin to clear up in 22 years. I have recurring cyclic acne that never quite seems to go away no matter what I do, and for a straight 3 months under Sara’s care I had clear skin. I have since moved to Los Angeles and sadly can no longer see her for facials, but she has continued to keep in touch with me and help me from afar. I now confidently know how to take care of my own skin, and will always trust and refer back to her if something goes wrong with my skin. The products she uses are expensive yes, but they’re top notch and now I won’t trust anything else on my skin, and her facials are extremely reasonable. This woman is the best esthetician I have ever seen and should definitely branch out into teaching others. I haven’t found anyone else who comes close.

Sara’s facial was SO relaxing and rejuvenating… it was just what I needed. She provided many suggestions for more optimal skin care and was very detail oriented. She is also incredibly kind.

The best! I am new to Brookline and am finding «my» places. I found my facialist! Sara is great. So relaxing… so nice. The facial is amazing. She will recommend as much or as little as you want. I cannot say enough good things. My skin feels so good when I leave.

I just went for my first facial with Sarah yesterday and I am hooked! She gave me a ton of information about skin and skin care, and she made my skin look and feel great.
Last night I happened to touch my neck and I was in shock for a minute because it felt so soft!
I went to her because I am about to turn 50 and wanted to step up my game with the maintenance. WIN! I think she can really help my skin stay looking nice, and even make it look better. She also has some lines of products that are normally only sold at dermatologists’ offices, because they are so powerful, and count as «medication» according to the FDA.
Sign me up!
Sarah is also very pleasant and friendly. She did not initimidate me or try to talk me into buying anything, although I definitely plan to!

Sara Jamison is a great listener, I never feel pressured, is inherently kind, and genuinely CARES about YOU getting clearer healthier skin. I went to see her for a facial to help clean out my jawline cystic acne and she shared so many tips to help me rethink how I take care of my skin. If I wanted my skin to change, I had to change, and no one had ever told me that before. Nothing too major, little things like cleaning off my cell phone and modifying my night time routine. I needed to reteach my skin to healthy and strong after years of acne.
Her services seem reasonable, but the product lines she cares are a bit pricey, however I am seeing results! Since seeing her my skin is smoother, no longer plagued with painful bumps, and I am seeing positive changes. Sara Jamison is THE guide to the clear healthy skin you want.
I’m seeing changes, and I like it!

I thought that 2+ hours for a facial was way too long, the results weren’t any better than other place I’ve been. Plus, for the majority of that 2 hours I got to hear about every product line that was sold there and how I should use it. I’m happy to take recommendations for products, but I think it should be more geared towards what you need versus what they sell.

I’ve been seeing Sara now for 4 months. I recently relocated to the Boston area from Seattle and my skin really took it hard. The harsh winters and the indoor heat made my skin dry and irritable yet still prone to break outs. Sara is methodical and conservative. Her facials are relaxing and generous; she puts you at ease immediately. I appreciate how much thought she gives to the products she recommends. She won’t push products on you that you don’t need and truly cares how your skin reacts to your régime. If you are looking for a skin care guru who will work with you and get results, give her a try. I don’t think you’ll ever get the quality, attention to detail, or long term results from chains or day spas. Sara is really invested in all of her clients. I recommend Sara wholeheartedly. She is well worth the investment and has dramatically improved my skin in a short period of time.

I’ve been going to Sara for about a year now. Sara has a cozy, quiet room in a brownstone that has been converted into offices. It is relaxing and luxurious without all the frills… or the prices… of a corporate spa.
Sara knows skin and she deals with dermatologist-​level concentration of products. She is not like a regular esthetician you would find at a spa on Newbury St. She is smart and experienced in recommending treatment regimens for skin. All the recommendations she has given me have been right on! It has worked.
My skin is so much clearer, smoother and even since I have been going to facials with her. She gave me some great products that have worked wonders and recently I bought a series of lactic acid peels. My pores have really cleared and my fine lines are almost gone since I started the peels.
Go see Sara… she knows what she’s doing and you will see it in your skin.

I’ve been going to Sara for maybe about 3 years now, maybe 4? And can completely vouch for how literally miraculous the transformation is of my skin, from being acne prone, to an almost smooth, much clearer and visibly and noticeably different complexion, altogether.
Sara’s expertise goes beyond just providing a facial — she’s more like a skin «doctor» or «detailer”– meticulously examining and carefully cleaning every pore and tending to each blemish. Her treatments are luxurious and also luxuriously long, soothing, relaxing and involves at least 6 – 7 different treatments and ends of with an upper body and arm massage.
Her recommendation for facial care products has improved my skin tremendously and I’ve learned a lot about the science of skin care over the years knowing her. She is very knowledgeable and gives great advice, do-​s and don’t-s with full explanation.
This is one of the few luxuries I give myself… and has been one of the best investments I’ve made. (Beats going to any of those fancy day spas hands down). You completely feel transported to a very tasteful, luxurious, pretty place at Sara’s.
Go there! You won’t regret it!

Sara’s hydradermie facial and eye treatments are wonderful!
I have inherited the typical bad «english/​irish» skin — dry and red and damaged from years of sunbathing with very little sun tan lotion. The hydradermie facials have been wonderful in moisturizing my face and reducing the redness.
The facials are incredibly restful and relaxing. Be prepared to spend 1 ½ to 2 hours for a facial. In this day and age, 2 hours may seem like an eternity — yet it is well worth the time and money. You come away looking years younger and well rested.
Sara is inquisitive about your skin routine without being nosy, she has a wonderful bedside manner and a gently asks if you would like any facial products without being pushy.
If you are looking for a personable, well informed esthetician who will put you at ease, Sara is the perfect answer.
She is able to work with your budget — whether you afford a facial once a week, once a month or once a quarter — she will modify the facial in order for you to get the maximum result. Her price list is on her website — so you can be prepared for the cost before booking an appointment.
