Nozawa Intl

Stephanie is such a sweetheart! In all honesty, it’s not often I actually take the time to write a Unilocal review unless it’s because I’m really pissed off but I feel like she really deserves a 5 star review. Her whole set up, being in a residential home, is very calming and welcoming. I went in to get some body contouring and a combination face treatment. She was very honest with me and gave me good advice on what was worth spending my money on. We did the facial stuff first and even though some of the procedure was a little peculiar feeling, she put me at ease. Also, $ 150 for everything she did seemed very reasonable to me. Other places do the same stuff for about twice as much typically. Then we did the body contouring, which was a little pricy, but I personally found it to be worth it. She also graciously made me some tea and coffee, let me use her exercise machine to speed up the contouring process, and let me do my make up afterwards in her bathroom while I waited for my ride. I’m scheduled for another appointment on Tuesday for another skin treatment, some more contouring, and hopefully some eyelash extensions. I’d recommend her to anyone who is interested in these services!

This review is one day after the ultrasound therapy on face, neck and chest with Stephanie. And I am over joyed with the results! I look 10 years younger. Absolutely no joke. Stephanie is a miracle worker! Far exceeded expectations.
I was a bit nervous going into it. I mean 1000.00 and frankly the pictures of other clients before and after just didn’t look worth it. So I am going to give a full blow by blow to help those that are thinking about it. There simple was not a lot of info about the actual experience, so here it goes…
I was concerned that I would see enough results. And if it did work maybe I should be at a plastic surgeons office… Lots of concerns… I took a before pic just before heading out.
I arrived at Stephanie’s house, yes house. And got really concerned… a house. Yet when I entered I could see the entire house is a cosmetic studio. Lovely! And very well outfitted. Many devices and different therapies to choose from. Stephanie’s consultation was thorough and very descriptive. We decided the full face, neck and chest ultrasound was best. She was careful to explain that I will not see a lot of results and it takes a few months for the collagen to regenerate.
She told me that some patients feel a lot of pain and gave me Advil. Ok. Now I was really worried.
The treatment was done in a very relaxing lounge chair with music and wonderful smells. Stephanie was very slow and methodical ensuring I was ok. Now for the treatment itself… yes there was a few painful seconds over the course of the hour and a half. But certainly very manageable. The best way to describe it is a deep headache like sensation with sharp prickles for a second. And then it’s gone. Every time she moves the wand. So you get very used to it very fast. It was not that bad. Really. And Stephanie was so sweet and very careful to checkin and adjust if necessary.
After the treatment I had zero redness, zero pain. It was so strange I expected to see some damage, but no. I looked great! And could see the results. All of the sun spots and color differences were gone and I looked refreshed and defiantly much better. And if it gets better over the next few months I was very happy.
A few hours later I had very mild achy soreness around my neck area that went away with an Advil.
The next morning I took a pic before makeup and compared to the pic just before treatment and was ASTONISHED! A huge huge difference! At least 10 years difference. No joke! Sagging is marked better and the eyes are really great. I am so thrilled. I don’t need coverup! Not at all. And as I heal it will be even better. Omg!
So look you lurkers, call Stephanie. It is the best investment you can make. I will be back for my second treatment for sure.
Thank you Stephanie! I am over joyed.

I love Stephanie!!! She is the most kindest, generous and beautiful person and her treatments are AMAZING! I’ve been coming to her for years and every time I visit my sister in the Bay, I see Stephanie! I have always been impressed with her microdermabrasion, facials, peels and many other secret treatments/​magic she does to make me look more youthful and refreshed. I live in Los Angeles and I have not found a person whom I could trust with treatments. If you get to see her, you will never leave her. I get complements in my skin all the time and I give all the credits to my mom and Stephanie! Thank you!

This is a short story of how finding Stephanie has changed me for the better. All my life, I’ve had this obsession over my skin, turning small imperfections much worse as I tried to «fix» them. At the end of 2013, it was especially bad and I was left with a big dark spot right in the middle of my forehead that couldn’t even be fully covered with thick makeup. For more than 6 months, I tried every at home method I could to fade it. Finally in despair and out of options, I gave up and called Stephanie at the beginning of last year. I was relieved that she listened without judging, offered her recommendations which were reasonably priced, and a huge benefit is that she has a home business which ensures a lot of privacy. I visited her over several months getting various treatments including peels and microdermabrasion. During this time, I got many compliments on my skin and people asking what I had done differently. Eventually, I thought my skin looked well enough so I quit going to save money…
Fast forward to this year, I was under stress which makes my obsession worse, and my complexion was a mess yet again. A year had gone by since I had visited Stephanie, and she saw I had the exact same issue again, but thankfully again she did not pass any judgment nor scold me. I felt such an appreciation that she was there to help through tough times when I couldn’t even bear looking in the mirror. It’s been a few months, and my skin is looking tons better, so I reduced my treatments to once per month. This time around though, I decided that I will continue going to Stephanie not only for the treatments but her extremely supportive nature as well. Not only can she do wonders for your skin, she has such a warm, caring personality and is easy to talk to.
I look forward to the relaxing appointments with Stephanie every month. Nozawa is highly recommended if you want to improve the way your skin looks, and to be rejuvenated both physically and mentally after each session.

This review is long overdue! I have been going to Stephanie for almost 3 years now. From my very first consultation with Stephanie, I was hooked. I had never really liked going to get a facial because I didn’t feel or see a difference with my skin after the treatments. I found Stephanie online with her great reviews and thought I’d give her a try. Needless to say, I absolutely love my skin since seeing her. She is a true professional, she is very honest with providing the best experience for her clients and she never pushes into purchasing treatments or products. She will give you her expert advice and keeps up to date on latest technology. If you are looking for a skincare girl, Stephanie is the one!

I really think Stephanie is great at what she does. She introduced me to HIFU for weight loss. I have tried tons of diets and nothing works as well as this to remove stubborn fats. I fit better in my clothes and I’m more confident. Im hooked! Ask Stephanie about HIFU and she will tell you in details. It is like having an ultrasound. I don’t feel any pain but it is kinda hot sometimes. The next morning, I could not believe how much better my body looked… and the results just kept getting better within time. It is pricey, but it is worth it. I still can’t believe how awesome this is. I highly recommend giving it a try. This is the best thing I have done for myself.

Stephanie is awesome. Her treatments are so effective for my oily acne prone skin. I suffered form adult acne and hyperpigmentation after acne. The only regret for me was I did not meet Stephanie soon enough. I would give her 10 stars if I can.

I have been having microdermabrasion and other treatments with Stephanie for over a year and thrilled with the results. My skin is smoother, more radiant looking and younger looking. She is the sweetest, most pleasant person to ever work with me in such a personal way and a very skilled practitioner. Her professionalism is exceptional as well as her extensive experience in the industry. She invests in state of the art equipment and best treatments and products available. Stephanie is very knowledgeable and explains what she is doing and what to expect from the treatments. I leave her beautiful space feeling pampered, younger, and happy to have found this jewel in San Jose.
Stephanie also gave me permanent eyebrows, which I love. She truly knows how to make me look and feel more beautiful, which boosts my confidence in general. She is also very adept at eyelash extensions. She has a keen eye for what makes a woman look and feel good.
I highly recommend Nozawa International for your skincare and beauty needs.

In one word, amazing! Stephanie is wonderful at what she does! I left there feeling like a new woman :-) Hands down, 5 stars. My new go to on a lunch break ;-) Lovely.

I am giving 5 stars for Stephanie, who is truly an inspiring independent entrepreneur. I came in because I bought the online special $ 150 Combo facial treatment. When i got there, I realized that is was a house that was make-​shifted into a treatment facility. I also realized that she is her own boss and does everything herself from making reservations to doing the treatment. Shes a great conversation. Similarly to other clients, I was drawn to her services by Unilocal.She assessed my skin (congested and producing more oil than needed). The «combination treatment» was microdermabrasion followed by heat therapy. I felt like she was doing a lot to my skin and I actually expected it to be less uncomfortable. But, no pain no gain, right? The heat therapy was bearable and the microdermabrasion just felt like vacum cleaner scrub. In the end, I felt really relaxed and more knowledgeable about skin care. As for the results on of my pores, I only saw a slight if not at all improvement. Stephanie says pores will always be there, so maybe that is something I just need to accept about my skin. I did not have any noticeable differences and felt like my skin was just more soft right after. I would recommend treatment here for the great service, knowledge, and relaxation purposes. In my opinion, it is pretty pricey and I expected visible results. It may have to do with the need to maintain care of your skin though. It was a good experience overall.

Stephanie is a sweetheart. I have never met anyone, so polite and nice in the spa/​beauty business. I mean I have been to other high end spas, where they only try to sell you their beauty treatment packages, without listening to your needs and concerns. But, with Stephanie I am satisfied, she listened to me, looked at my skin, and spent over half an hour just to hear my concerns. She recommended Microdermabrasion and the heat therapy for my skin issues (acne and hyperpigmentation). She suggested that, I should get a series of these treatments in order to see results. However, she was honest enough to tell me that, I shouldn’t expect any miracles because these kind of treatments could take some time to work. I feel like she is not out there to trick people into buying treatments that they don’t need. She genuinely cares about her clients and try her best to help them. I have decided, that I will commit to the program that she has created for me and hope for the best.
If you are someone who is struggling with skin issues, go see her. You will like her!

A zillion stars for Stephanie’s treatment and service for many reasons! I have combination skin, which hadn’t been in the best condition from frugally using Target and Costco brand skincare for years. Since I’m getting married this year, I wanted to invest in skin care treatments to make my skin healthier and better looking, as well as products to maintain it. I choose to try Stephanie based off of other rave Unilocal reviews. She assessed my skin (congested, combination, some rosacea… She was all spot-​on in her diagnosis), and then recommended a «combination treatment» of microdermabrasion followed by (heat therapy?) to start. The microdermabrasion didn’t hurt at all– it’s like getting a really dry face scrub. The heat treatment was tolerable, but about the pain level of a bikini wax. You know you’ll survive, and you just sort of ensure the discomfort for sake of the results. It doesn’t take that long which is great. By the end of the treatment my skin was MUCH smoother all-​around, not just by touch but also by sight. My pores look smaller and the clogged, congested areas look SO much for improved! This type of treatment is best done in a series of at least 4, spaced closer together on the front-​end. Stephanie explains the science behind why and it all makes sense. I go back in less than 2 weeks and can’t wait!
On a separate note, I also bought some of her products to maintain my skin. It isn’t «branded” — she has a lab create products for her to compliment her treatments. I’ve been using them for 2 days and my skin is just loving them! I got the eye makeup remover (oil-​free), Arnica face wash, Vitamin C serum, Skin Recovery Crème and Eyebright Intensive Eye Crème. My combo skin has not felt dry or oily at all throughout the day over the past 2 days. It’s crazy to think my skin will get even better with more use of Stephanie’s products and treatments. I couldn’t be happier with linking up with Stephanie, all thanks to a successful Unilocal search!

I’ve been going to stephanie nozawa for a couple of months and it definitely has worked wonders on my skin. Stephanie provides quality service and really does taylor her services to fit your needs. She will analyze your skin and provide recommendations on what kind of services would work best for your skin type. I’ve gone to her for both microdermabrasian and collagen eraser as well as eyelash extensions. I’ve received a lot of compliments when i received the eyelash extensions ! (it’s something i definitely plan on doing again)

I have had such great results from treatments on my skin to the point where I don’t even wear make up anymore! I am hooked on the facial products too. The tinted moisturizer with SPF is my favorite. I have had eyelash extensions, microderm abrasian, Colagen eraser and photofacial treatments with Stephanie. She is professional, friendly with a very calming demeanor. I would highly recommend her services and expertise. I actually fall asleep on her table sometimes it’s so relaxing. Some people might be deterred because she works out of her home but as a business owner who works out of the home myself I know that it can equate to more savings and availability to the customer. 5 stars all the way!

I’ve been going to Stephanie Nozawa for a few years now. I hate to think what my complexion would look like without her fabulous services!
I have microderm abrasion about once a month with Stephanie and my skin feels and looks great! I’m +50 years old and people always comment on how wrinkle-​free my face is.
I also get eyelash extensions from Stephanie. If you want to WOW up your look for a special occasion, eyelash extensions are the way to go. Stephanie is a master on putting them and they always last longer than anticipated.
Stephanie is a really lovely person and skilled professional. I love going to see Stephanie because it is like going to a «Beauty Therapist». Her prices are also a really good deal too!

This is the second time I had a facial with Stephanie Nozawa. The first time I was a bit skeptical about a guy getting a facial. I must say the result was pretty amazing. Stephanie is the consummate professional. She is attentive, gentle, explains what she is going to do before she does it. She explained the best way to take care of my skin as I spend a lot of time outdoors all year round. I have already recommended her to 3 friends, 1 guy and 2 gals who called me after their treatments to thank me. One bought me lunch as a thank you. My son has an appointment for a treatment for his acne when he comes back from college over Thanksgiving. I heartily recommend Stephanie for facial treatments. I know she does other treatments, but I cannot personally speak about them. Thanks Stephanie, you did and do a great service.

I have been going to see Stephanie for a couple months now, and I love her!
I originally had scheduled an appointment for an eyelash perm, but when discussing my skin, she recommended that I do a 6-​treatment microdermabrasion/​eraser plan. I took the jump, even though I felt like I was going to be throwing away my money (I’ve tried a lot of different skin care routines). Slowly but surely, my skin began to clear up! The minute I stopped going, my skin started breaking out again… so I think I’ve found my solution.
As far as the eyelash perm — it’s great. I highly recommend it. It lasts for about 4 – 5 weeks, but my eyelashes have never looked better. It really saves me time, and I don’t have to put on a ton of makeup every morning.

I would recommend to any guys to get your microdermabrasion and collagen growth treatments with Stephanie at Nozawa Int. She is a professional and takes the time to educate you and is extremely knowledgeable. Guys should really do this, our skin is important and we need to take care of it. Don’t think that guys couldn’t benefit from it.
Now I know why Girls love to take care of their skin. Call Stephanie so she can do a treatment for you and educate you on how to take care of your skin.
I am a business man, and I am always meeting clients so It is important for me to look my best. And with her services and education, you can achieve it.

Stephanie is awesome.
As a guy, I would not think of getting a facial, but WOW fella’s you need to try it out! It was an amazing experience. She is super professional. She went thru face and told me about my skin and how to minimize the damage to my skin, because I am outside as much as possible, surfing and cycling. Then she taught me how to take care of my skin once and left her office, and sold me the correct lotion to protect my skin.
Definitely a 5 Star Experience.

Stephanie genuinely tries to get to the root of the problem and methodically develops a plan to address them. She involves me in the process and adjusts my plan as my skin condition improves.
So far I have been going to her for 6+months and I have been very satisfied with her service. I needed a way to reduce my acne scars with minimal downtime-​as well as take care of my skin. The services I have had so far: micro-​needling, micro-​dermabrasion, and collagen-​eraser.
Stephanie is the definition of customer service. She is very tentative and observant to my needs and reactions. She is always making sure I am comfortable and has a very positive and upbeat attitude.
