Lene’s Place

This review is long overdue. I’ve had issues with acne since my teens. I’ve tried numerous dermatologists, facialists, and various procedures, and nothing worked. (I was even given two rounds of Accutane in the 90’s!)
Lene is the first specialist to give me a facial with extractions that left my skin looking calmer afterwards, and didn’t make me break out more. I started going to Lene every 3 weeks to start, and then tapered down the visits to every month to month-​and-​a-​half. My skin is much more under control with regular sessions with Lene, and I can now get away with going every other month or so. (I’ve been going for about 5 years.)
Although Lene has great products for sale, she’s never made me feel pressured in any way to make a purchase. In fact, she only asked me if I wanted to pick up products during my first visit. When she puts something on my skin that feels extra good during the treatment (like a balm) is when I ask what it was and buy it.
The salon is super clean, and the environment is very calming. Lene even massages and wraps your hands and feet in a warm moisturizing treatment before your facial as part of the procedure! Going to Lene is a surprisingly affordable treat, and I highly recommend her services.

THE BEST! Lene is the only woman that my sister, mother and I let touch our skin. I am 25 my mother is 60 and Lene’s Place is the best for us both. I am never disappointment! Also, Lene’s products are innovative, effective, my go-​to.

I had never gotten electrolysis and was a bit scared. I had read great things about Mary on Unilocal and decided to finally go for it. Well… the rumors are true. Mary is one of the kindest, sweetest, most personable, gentlest people I have ever met. She actually made it pleasurable! Unbelievable! Couldn’t recommend her higher. Now I know why people come from out of state just to see her. Absolutely wonderful.

Service was fine, but I got kinda bad vibes from her. She just seemed really phony, I didn’t feel relaxed. Sorry if that sounds hippie-​dippy but for this kind of thing I need to be around someone who’s sincere.

im so glad I came to Lene for my first facial ever. she is an absolute goddess at what she does!!! she is so friendly & just a beautiful person allover. she made me feel so welcome & so relaxed. her aura is so pure and amazing. she used the absolute most amazing products on me & I could not be happier. I already booked my next appointment. she is so affordable, too. can’t wait to come back!

Perhaps I should wait with the review until I have tried Lene’s expertise, but I just love Mary and her electrolysis so much that I just want to rave about her!
I can’t wait ’til I try Lene’s services, as she is very kind, has great energy and is just as wonderful as a person can be that you would like to care for such an important thing as your face. Her place is clean, neat, well kept and I have bought one of her own brand body lotions that is not only filled with potent and natural ingredients, but smells good too!
Now to Mary. The most genuine and kind person I’ve met in this industry. I just clearly love the woman. She is quick with her machine, and she makes me comfortable enough to work on any area desired (think:intimate area). She is chatty and friendly enough to put you at ease, and let’s you rest and rejuvenate in silence when needed to. That is a social skill that is GOLD! Electrolysis is not very painful, but it’s not without pain either. I apply numbing cream prior to walking in, so I have no issues with her work at all.
I am hair free in the areas, no issues, and this is permanent. Mary is worth her prices and more in my opinion. If I was rich, I would tip her in the same amount as the whole price of services. She is just wonderful.

Very nice staff, an experienced esthetician, fair prices.

So happy I found this place! As a kinesiology student I had heard a lot about paraffin baths and Lene offers it in her spa. It left my skin feeling baby-​soft and loosed up my joints. I loved the whole experience. I like that the place is clean and well kept. My mom got the cleansing facial and she really liked the way it rejuvenated her face. Overall, this was a very good experience for both of us. Don’t get to do to many spa dates but this is our new spot.

So thanks to Unilocal I found the best facial place in the valley. Saw Lene last week– she was very friendly, professional, caring. I have my next appointment booked with her for next month. Been getting facials since my teen year which my lady was from Thailand and she moved back home. For the last ^ years I have tried many places and nothing good till now. I am a new client for ever. Thanks again Lene and my boss is very happy with your facials too.

Its very rare I get any type of skincare done on my face but after getting a Gentlemen’s Facial at Lene’s Place, I am so glad to have learned about their place and services.
My face really feels so fresh instantly and feels alot better. Her cleansing techniques are amazing. Also the prices are severely lower then Burke Williams. My next Appointment will be the hydrating facial due to my dry skin.
Thanks a million Lene!

Had my first facial ever today and it was wonderful. So relaxing and clean and now my face looks and feels great! I will definitely be coming back to Lene’s Place!

I love Lene and Mary the whole staff is amazing best facial and microdermabrasion you can get in town for a great price and the amount of care is unbelievable I love this place soooo much

Been coming to Lene since she used to work at Vera’s on Beverly Glen. She is by far the best in the business. She opened her own place on ventura a few years back. it is both clean and convenient. Lene CLEANS your face. If you love blackheads and pimples this is not your place. Haha.
She is very thorough. The spa only does facials. Her facials are not cheap but they are worth it.
Tell her grace johnston sent ya ;)

Hands down the BEST FACIAL of my life. And let’s just say that I’ve moved 21 times in my life and I’ve tried facials all over the world.
Lene’s extraction technique is amazing and her facial massage to make the products penetrate deserved an outstanding ovation. I would have applauded at the end but I had both of my hands wrapped in a delicious cream with some heated gloves. Did I mention the feet wrapping? I’m always cold so when she wrapped my feet too, I couldn’t stop giggling from pure bliss. Her products are extraordinaire and what can I say? Love her personality, a genuine generous person. Oh, and the place is so clean! So cozy! Her music choice is just perfect! I can’t wait to go back again!

I found this place in Unilocal and called to make an appointment just one day before and they got me in on a Saturday afternoon. It was for an electrolysis treatment. And I read some positive reviews so I decided to try Mary. She was very nice, professional and helped me with my problem areas. I will definitely go back as needed and would recommend to anyone after just one visit I am fully satisfied. There are also facials available by a couple other women there including the owner of the spa. Apparently she is excellent and the prices looked very reasonable. Thumbs up and thanks Mary

Hands down the best facial I have ever had! Lene is a pro, kind, warm, & takes pride in the services she provides. Everything was right — the scheduling process, convenient, free parking in the rear, the welcoming & spotless environment, & of course, Lena’s special touch. I visited her because I had a certificate from a silent auction — I did not know what to expect but she did not disappoint! She is #1 on my facialist list & I would also seek her out for other services she provides.

I got my first facial in years today at Lene’s, and it was WONDERFUL! Lene is such a sweet, kind woman. The facility was warm, clean, and inviting. It was relaxing, and my skin feels so soft and smooth now. I will definitely come back again in the future, and I recommend anyone who wants a great facial to go to her!

Lene is awesome. I so look forward to getting facials here. She is so nice and friendly. But more importantly. she really knows skin. I feel so taken care of every time I go in. And I always get random complements from strangers on my skin after I’ve been in. If I could, I would go for a facial every month!
I have given gift certificates for facials to many of my friends and it is one of their favorite gifts to receive. It’s also one of my favorite gifts to receive… if anyone reading this is feeling generous!

So you walk in and feel an Instant calmness, like I made the right decision choosing this place:) The room that I laid in was so clean and Serene. Just experiencing the mini facial my skin has already started to glow again! Before I left I purchased a facial cleanser and a toner that makes my face feel wonderful! Lene herself is so attentive and has so much knowledge on skin care. I have already pre booked my next appointment at the end of the month and can’t wait:)

Lene’s Place is THE place to go for your skin care needs. Along with Lene being one of the most amazing and kind women that I have had the pleasure of meeting, she provides the best facials. She has amazing treatments available and really puts you at ease while in her care.
She also is such an artist with eyebrow shaping. She advised me on the shape that would be most elegant and flattering for my face. She worked with me over multiple sessions to repair bad shaping from previous amateur waxers and my own overzealous plucking. I could not trust my eyebrows to anyone else again!
Lene has created this incredibly welcoming, refreshing, and relaxing environment. I would not hesitate to recommend her and sing the highest praises for what she does. Every time I leave her place I am walking on air! You always know you are in good hands. See her, you will not regret it!
