Glow Skin Care

Best facials in OC! My skin is always refreshed and glowing after a facial with Ginger!

I recently moved to Southern California so the thought of finding a good skin care professional felt like a daunting task. With unruly skin, change of weather affecting my skin and a history of eczema I had to see a professional to help me control my skin. Ginger came highly recommended from a couple of family members who happen to have great skin, so i didn’t hesitate to make an appointment! I wasn’t sure how pricey she would be as these ladies have very fine taste but I was happily surprised to see how inexpensive the services were and detailed on her website.
LOCATION: Glow Skin Care is located in a cute little casita behind a hair salon and a nursery. Very cute shabby chic atmosphere. As you walk in, relaxing tunes draw you in as you are greeted with a smile and a refreshing cup of water. I slipped into the cozy facial bed and just relaxed and let her do her magic.
EXPERIENCE: She was very thorough in getting information about my allergies, skin routine and history. She had great advice about what I could change, modify or focus on. She made great conversation and had a very soft touch. She applied various products that smelled amazing! I was very surprised I didn’t experience any burning as I always do with scented products but Ginger explained all her products are organic and come in almost the purest form.
I headed straight to my office after the facial and there was no sign of irritation but definitely GLOWING.
Recommend this place 100%

I’ve been going to Ginger faithfully for over 8 years. Even after my move to NYC nearly 5 years ago, every time I’m home — I make an effort to see her for a little love. She has an incredibly sweet way about her that carries over to the way she cares for my skin. She’s attentive and perceptive to my needs. I always leave her feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and with my skin looking like a million bucks! I highly recommend her — all the way from NYC.

We recently had our wedding at The backyard and we rented Ginger’s suite as our bridal suite and it’s beautiful in there! Our pictures came out beautiful. Ginger was so warm and kind, offering help and support on our big day, even offering me crackers when I commented I was hungry. She’s an amazing individual and such a warm presence and her suite is beautiful. Now I need to go back and have a massage or facial ;)

Unilocal saved the day… yet again! Very picky about what products land on my face, I am a snob and will only use Eminence Organics. Ran the search on Unilocal and pow, Glow came up. Ginger is so easy to schedule with, she is responsive quickly via email text or phone. So I made my appt. It was hard to find the place, but saw this salon front and made an assumption it was inside. They pointed me to the back where Ginger’s little bungalow/​spa resides. The next hour and a half was just heaven, I didn’t want to leave! All I remember is just Ahhhhh relaxation! She was massaging my shoulders, hands, feet, face — omg, so fab. She can also order eminence products for you. I can’t wait for my next appt here!

Glow Skin Care is by far the best place to get a facial, Ginger is amazing! After reading great reviews I decided to give it a try. I went a few days ago and my skin still looks silky smooth. Ginger is very attentive, gives helpful advice on what skincare products to use, which by the way, she introduced me to Eminence skin care. I will definitely go back!

2013 has been a stressful year so far. Things I can check off:
* Hysterectomy
* Broke up with the BF
* Had to buy a new car (The cams in my old car were f’d up– I wasn’t terribly sad about this one actually– I just haaate car salesmen and that whole process– ughhh. Sorry, no offense to any car salesmen out there. I’m a chick, it’s just exponentially more painful for us. But I digress…)
* Aaaand I moved. This was a good thing– but again, stressful, exhaustive, blah blah blah.
Okay. That was all before the end of June. And since ridiculous hot flashes have become somewhat of a regular thing for me– Yay!- my skin was wrecked by the end of the summer. When I say wrecked, I mean realllly wrecked. Old. Tired. Just downright sad. If you look up wrecked, old, tired and sad in the dictionary, there is a picture of my skin right along next to Octomom’s undercarriage. Yes, I really did just say that about my own skin. But it was seriously THAT bad.
I needed an expert; a master; the best of the best — Ginger!!! I was a lil busy, so it had been months and months since I’d been in to see her, but I knew she would be able to whip my skin back in shape. I arrived at Glow on a Tuesday evening after a long day of work, and its instant Zen as you walk through the little boutique, out through the garden and by the succulents out to Ginger’s little cottage sanctuary. And Ginger is always as sweet and cheerful as can be– like an old friend welcoming you into their home. I just love her! And OMG, her little place is decorated sooo cute! I love the fun vintage, yet peaceful vibe. I strip down to my skivvies and slip into the spa towel thingy, settling onto the table for some skin therapy. Ginger asks me some questions about my régime, and gets to work on my sad lil’ mug.
She worked her magic– cleansing, scrubbing, treating, massaging, moisturizing– and it’s like my skin came back to life! It’s the brightest I’ve seen it look in months! Glowing, in fact ;-) I can’t wait to see it in a couple days! As if it could get any better, did I mention she gives the awesomest massages ever with the facial? Heavennn! Thank God for Ginger– She is wonderful and amazing! I left Glow feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and luxuriously pampered. I am already thinking about when I can come in for another appointment! Ten stars for Ginger– she is seriously the BEST!

I’ve been going for about a year for facials– before i would NOT even consider someone touching my face. In meeting Ginger with her warm personality and true love of her job and expertise I decided to give it a try and she promised to be gentle the first time. Ever since the first hot paprika custom facial I was hooked. She truly provides instant gratification that gets better as the days go by after the facial. She is truly talented and her facials have since ALWAYS been superior in every way. She even goes the extra step to massage your feet and hands during the steam process– its truly an unbeleivably relaxing experience. Ginger makes you feel extremely comfortable in a sometimes «not so comfortable» situation. TRUST is key in finding an amazing skincare specialist like her, she is honest in every way and you know she personally cares about your result and the followup after. Her caring nature, wonderful personality, love of her job and break-​through products like Eminence truly set her above the rest. I would not recommend ANY other establishment if you have the luxury & local convenience of going to Ginger @ GLOW, even if your a little further away– its WORTH the extra time and effort to have her take amazing care of you. I would not trust anyone else with the delicate areas she specializes in improving! :) GINGER is the absolute BEST! Get in as soon as you can… it is SO worth it!

What an experience! I’ve had many facials before but nothing like the one at Glow skin care. I don’t even know where to start! The location is a hard to spot from the street; it sits behind a clothing store in the middle of a plant nursery. It feels as if you’re walking into a Zen garden with a water fountain and beautiful flowers and plants all over the place. I couldn’t help but feel calm and at peace as soon as I walked in to this exclusive spot. Ginger greeted me with open arms and took me into her small cottage like skin care room. The room is absolutely beautiful and clean; it is decorated with antique furniture that made me feel as if I was walking into the 1920’s.
Ginger and I had briefly discussed what type of facial I was looking for before I went in to see her, I had told her that I had been dealing with acne all my life and I just wanted to have beautiful skin for once, as she examined my skin she knew exactly what to do! Ginger herself is extremely knowledgeable and very personable! She inspected all the products I was using and gave me great tips and answered all my questions. The products she uses are all organic and hand-​made; they feel amazing! Not only did my skin really glow after we finished but I felt relaxed and at ease. I refuse to go anywhere else for my facials. THANKS GINGER!
