Aesthetique

Theresa is so nice and very professional, but I don’t go there because of that. I go for results. The hydra facials I’ve had there are really effective. I feel that it’s cleared my face and made my pores smaller (and who doesn’t want smaller pores). I feel lucky to have found this place, it’s in the same office building as where I get my botox. Shhh, that’s a secret.

The best hydra-​facials ever!
Theresa is the best — so accommodating and thoughtful.
I highly recommend stopping in for a facial and some skinceutical products!

Theresa is AMAZING. Her microderm is by far the best I’ve ever had. She’s super-​gentle and thorough, and the results were stunning – far better than any I’ve gotten in the past. She is very sweet, caring, and really listens to her clients. I fell asleep during the post-​microderm facial, and woke up looking a decade younger.
Thank you, Theresa! I am so happy to have found you!

first off this going to be really mean, but the photo of the asian bovine is not a selling point. neither is the fact that there isn’t really cosmetic procedures, just surface crap that one could purchase at the local Walgrens. AVOID AVOID AVOID.
and get rid of the overly fed asian chick.

I visited on Saturday and had the nourishing facial with Teresa. It was a gift certificate, but she treated me like a paying client. She was wonderful! It was totally relaxing and I was worried that my skin was going to be a mess and breakout afterwards, but not so! My skin glows and looks perfect, and I am really impressed with how small my pores look. The massage was excellent, the products were great and I especiallly loved the steam and the scrub. Teresa herself was very professional and knowledgeable and comforting, and I was sort of depressed before the facial but left feeling rejuvinated. It was a great expereince and I will definitely be going back.

Tried Theresa via a bloomspot coupon. as everyone else here said, she had a lovely and nurturing manner, gave a very professional and thorough facial and was very sweet and accomodating, not pushy at all. Im coming back to see her at regular prices :-)

This woman knows what she is doing when it comes to skin. She is very knowledgable and helpful. She did a great job. The facial was so relaxing I fell asleep and when I woke up my skin felt replenished and soft like babyskin. Thank you Theresa

Theresa is FABULOUS!!! She’s the sweetest lady ever! I’ve been there close to every other week for the last few month and she continues to be great. She won’t push you to buy any of the products and it’s always a joy to see her. Sometimes she would even slip in a few samples for you to use ;)

I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a nice relaxing treatment. I had a nourishing facial with Theresa which was awesome! My skin felt super clean, refreshed, and well hydrated. Theresa is such a sweetheart. I love the skincare products and she has a gentle touch. She is very friendly and fun to talk to as well. I could tell she has lots of experience doing facials. This gal is a skincare expert. I was very happy after my relaxing facial here. So glad I found this place!

Great products for Acne prone skin
Teresa is very professional
She does great massages and my face looks amazing this is the 2^nd time I have been to her and def plan on going again.

Where do I start… hmmm how about Theresa is one of the most accommodating professionals i know. I was 30 mins late to my appt due to the silly public transportation in the east bay :(but to no avail theresa still saw me and even though she had to get to carpool she ensured she spent enough time on me. She got some stars just for her being awesome. But i don’t hand out 5 stars for someones disposition no sir-​ee. those 5 stars are well deserved! She did an AMAZING job, very attentive amazing massage, excellent products Microdermabrasion was done beautifully along with a vitamin c mask! omg i look 10 years younger! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! I will definitely be back for more!

Theresa did a great job with my facial! I was very relaxed, and my face came out super smooth, even days later! I love touching it lol. This was my first ever facial, and she was great about explaining everything that was going on. She did cleansing, an enzyme peel, mask, toning, shoulder/​neck/​head massage, extraction. She also wasn’t rushing to fit it into the time space — we went over and it didn’t even bother her (or me!!). The only part I did not like was the music, which was easy listening turned to muzak kind of stuff… I don’t know, it was just not good. But I’m music-​sensitive, so most people probably wont care. Everything seemed nice and clean and professional, just a regular doctor’s office type place. I would recommend going here.

I’ve met with Theresa for an initial consultation and have had two facials — the Nourishing Facial and Microdermabrasion as well as LED light therapy for hyperpigmentation. Theresa is really great to work with and I highly recommend her. My skin looked great after both treatments.
When there was an issue with her machine not working properly, she had other suggestions for treatments and still provided a high quality treatment.

I had the best microdermabrasion treatment last Saturday. My experience was splendid. During my treatment, I was relax and believe me I was actually in heaven. I had a neck & shoulder massages also and that when on that I didn’t even know I was actually snoring away. I would definitely go back again and have it done. I really recommend Theresa because her hands are very light on my face and she educated me on her products before applying. My experience with other clinics. oh my gosh. it’s not like this one. Thanks Theresa. that was a wonderful treatment… See you soon.

I have been doing a series of Microdermabrasian facials with Theresa since the beginning of the year and the experience on all of my visits has been exceptional!
First, visitors should know that this is skin care center — not a spa. If you want a spa experience, I recommend Zen Spa. However, if you simply want a great facial that is both relaxing and effective, this is the place to go. If the bright lights bother you, ask Theresa to turn them off. I did and she was happy to oblige. (I think she keeps them off as standard practice now anyway)
On my first visit, Theresa was careful to explain each step of the process to me so I knew exactly what to expect. She gave me some great samples to use and even called me later that evening to see how I was doing. Since then, she has listened to my concerns and requests and has always adjusted the facial for my needs. I really feel like Theresa and I are working together on a little skin project for my face.
About the facial: it involves the typical micorderm steps — cleansing, degreasing, and then the «sandblasting.» Theresa’s facial offers more, however. She follows up with a masque and then an application of anti-​aging serums. During the masque part, you get a great shoulder, neck, and head massage. Even though microderm can be uncomfortable, Theresa makes the whole experience very relaxing. On more than one occasion, I have actually fallen asleep!
About the $$: Most microderms in the city cost between $ 120-​$ 200 and last only 50 – 60 minutes — no masque, massage, or anti-​oxidants. With all that Theresa’s facial offers, this is definitely a great deal.
To top it all off, Theresa is very sweet and very accommodating. She remembers this one super soft blanket that I love and always makes sure to use that one when I go in. The level of service that Theresa provides is rare and truly exceptional. I am glad I selected Theresa for my microderm series.

This was very average.
I thought this experience was overly clinical feeling. The front desk was in no hurry to tell her I was in the waiting room, waiting for her. bad customer service on their part.
When I was shown to her room I was so surprised at how white and sterile it looked. so new. It was very pretty, but I felt like I was about to have my teeth cleaned. She also had me fill out a form to make sure I didnt have any crazy issues with my skin or health. I was, again, feeling more like a patient, and not a client.
The product she uses is great for anti-​aging or acne prone skin (skinceuticals), which I love. But the whole facial felt so clinical, like a procedure. The bright light was left on the whole time, even during the massage (which was very poor), the extraction portion was no where near what I am used to getting. She told me I have good skin…
It’s average. I get black heads. I need them gone. she got my nose but my whole jaw and cheek line was neglected. When my mask was on there was no hand or foot massage.
The whole time I was thinking. well, on Unilocal it only had 2 dollar signs so I was thinking maybe $ 75 or $ 80. It was $ 120! I was so bummed out. Definitely didn’t feel right about this.
In the end I was thinking maybe she is new to the industry as the whole procedure seemed so rehearsed and pre-​meditated… yet, she couldn’t recommend products till she knew what I had.
She was very sweet and warm, though., maybe she would do better with more mature skin types?

I joined Unilocal because of this business and one other!
Best find in the neighborhood! I’ve lived in Cow Hollow for 10 years and been to every spa/​skin care joint on Union/​Chestnut/​Fillmore and beyond. Aesthetique is a new «medical» skin care solution. Meaning, an MD is in the office FULL TIME (his degree isn’t just hanging on the wall so they can use the lasers!). The MD does not administer the cosmetic procedures (but trust me, he is a wizard with botox for migraine treatment).
Both Cheryl & Theresa do fabulous work. Cheryl did one round of Fraxel on me, and it has been a miracle for my discoloration. I have been going to the dermatologist who is supposed to be THE BEST with laser treatment (he works with the companies to develop & do the clinical trials), and I’ve been asking him for 3 yrs if we can try Fraxel. He said I wasn’t a good candidate, instead I’ve spent thousands of $$$ on IPL and some other laser with no results… then Cheryl suggested Fraxel at a very low setting! MIRACLE worker!
To maintain, Theresa gave me the BEST facial I’ve had without going to a spa (and trust me I’ve gone and spent weekends at many). The rejuvenating facial, should be called the rejuvenating massage & facial! Seriously, give it a try, the atmosphere is very relaxing while maintaining the clinical results you want for the cost of the service.
You can park in the lot in the building — HUGE for Union St. (not sure if they validate since I can walk). I also gave them a price range of «moderate» because of the quality of service. In general, they average pretty close to the rest of the folks on Union.
Call them and see if they can take a walk in. But it won’t be long before both are booked solid!

To be clear, I am not a pro at reviewing and comparing the quality of facials since I don’t get them often, if at all. This is why I give it 4 stars vs. 5. I recently won a nourishing facial with anti-​aging treatment and went to my appt today. I could tell this was no ordinary facial because a face and neck massage kicked off the hour! At the end of my treatment, I was SUPER relaxed… not what I was expecting at all from a facial. Theresa is really nice and strives to give her clients an A+ experience. If I was into facials, I’d definitely be back for more. But hopefully readers like yourself will give her a call.

I just had the most wonderful anti-​aging spa facial from Theresa today. Wow, what an excellent experience. I look 10 years younger after my treatment. On top of that, she gave me a really nice and relaxing neck and shoulder massage and scrub, much longer than any other facials I ever had. I would definitely recommend this.

Theresa gave me the best anti-​aging facial in my life. Yes, its about time I started thinking about anti-​aging treatments. This was not your run of the mill facial. It was an all inclusive 75 minute, anti-​aging, rejuvenating, and relaxing spa facial. It was about a seven step process which included a neck shoulder massage! She used top of the line products and I walked out of there so relaxed and excited about my results that I’m coming back to do a series, and regular maintenance. Thanks for giving me that youthful glow!
