Unique Beauty Skin Care

LOVE IT…(^^!)
Ivy is good, she’s gentle on my face yet powerful when massaging my shoulders.
A very pleasant environment, clean and tidy. Highly recommended.
I’ll definitely go again!

I have had 3 wonderful facials by Ivy here. She is very thorough and also includes a great shoulder and neck massage. Prices are really reasonable, parking is easy and location is central for the Sunset. I highly recommend Unique Beauty Skin Care.

Ivy is the best! I’ve tried many different facial places ever since my mom’s friend retired. All the ones prior did a decent job. But then I found Ivy and I’m done searching! Ivy is warm, friendly, and takes her job seriously. She spends a good amount of time doing extractions and is very meticulous about it. She tries to make it as painless as possible which is very important if you’ve ever had a facial where the lady is just squeezing the crap out of your face. Her technique is A+. She always puts me to sleep and I wake up from my own snoring :) My face always feels super smooth and refreshed afterward! She also gives a great back massage. The bed is super comfortable as well as the blanket. The whole set-​up is very clean and relaxing. Lastly, she never tries to make me try to buy her products, which most facialists do in my experience. Book an appointment with Ivy! You won’t be disappointed.

I’ve been coming here for over two years now. The studio is clean and comfortable and both Zoe and Ivy are really great. I usually see Zoe now and she’s very thorough and always has me leaving with clear and clean skin. I recommend Zoe to all my friends.

I have gone to Unique Beauty Skin Care on two occasions now and have been very happy with the results. On the visit, I chose the microdermabrasion and the eye treatment and was quite pleased with the results. My friends said the skin looked much smoother after the microdermabrasion. Ivy advised that my skin would benefit more from the Therma Radiofrequency treatment which heats the deep layers of the skin to promote new growth.
I was happy with results. My skin feels tighter and plumper. Ivy is a wonderful clinician. I appreciate that she takes the time to educate me on my skin care. Ivy also give the best neck massage. She has wonderful hands. I felt like a new woman when I left today.
I will continue to go to Ivy at Unique Beauty!

Bought a Groupon microdermabrasion and was promptly booked an appointment with Ivy. Of course, I read the Unilocal reviews before buying and I wasn’t disappointed. My 90 minute session was incredibly thorough and Ivy is extremely skilled. She even touched up my eyebrows. My pores were successfully minimized and my husband immediately commented about my new glow — no make-​up needed! Ivy offered many useful tips and never once pushed a product. Best facial ever. In fact, I immediately booked an «anti-​aging» facial with Ivy for next month. High end quality with reasonable cost — can’t beat this combo!

Love this place for facials!!! I’ve been to Zoe a handful of times now and she does an excellent job each time! This lady works hard for your skin! She is constantly applying products to your skin and/​or massaging your body. I love that she doesn’t just leave you alone when you’re waiting for your mask to set, she’ll be hard at work massaging your hands, arms, neck, even back while you’re lying down. She’ll do extractions on your skin if you want too (and unless you have extremely sensitive skin, I would always recommend you have her clean out your dirty pores). Just be warned that pore extraction is extremely painful no matter how you cut it. She uses mostly Skinceuticals products I believe so they’re high quality. Other people I know who patronize Unique Beauty also rave about Zoe and have been going to her for years (someone I know has followed her from her old skin clinic as well)! The pricing is also very reasonable so I can say it’s an excellent value. Definitely give this place a try if you haven’t already. I get regular facials and this is my #1 spot in SF for quality and value.

Loved it! The best treatment ever — I feel like every square millimeter of my face and neck was meticulously cleansed, exfoliated, and pampered. She even touched up my eyebrows. Best part is that the spa is just blocks from my house and she takes Sunday appts. My husband found a great deal on groupon for the crystal microdermabrasion/​oxygen treatment that is still being offered. Ask for Zoe. I’m thinking of buying her discounted package of 5 facials. Did I mention how much I loved it?

Had my first microdermabrasion treatment in SF here with Zoe, and overall it was a good experience that I would recommend to others. A total of 90 minutes went by quickly, as Zoe was engaging and knowledgeable throughout. You probably know what is included in the treatment, but I will highlight the shoulder massage and the cleaning/​extraction as it felt like being in the hands of an expert (which was the case). It’s too bad I live in SOMA, because I would be here every month. Anyone living in the West half of San Francisco should check this place out — there are some good spots to eat right nearby after your session. Also, it’s very accessible from public transit — take the light rail from Embarcadero towards the SF Zoo.
Good value, good service, and i was happy with the result.

I’ve lived near this place for years and have always walked pass it coming home from school. Who knew this place was such a hidden gem in my own neighborhood?!
First of all, Zoe is the best! I called and left a message to make an appointment but she got back to me super fast! So don’t let the «appointment only» scare you away from this place. I promise you that you won’t regret! You get the full time that you pay for and the best care! Zoe is super detailed and makes sure you skin gets the best care that it deserves. During the facial/​treatment, she gives a lot of helpful suggestions on how you should care for your skin afterwards. And also, the massage she gave was just delightful!
The treatment I got was 80 $ but she gave me a discount for 59 $! Apparently you can buy a set amount of facials/​treatments and it would make each visit cheaper than the listed price. I don’t come home to San Francisco often so I declined it, but if you’re in the city, it’s a great deal! My loss I guess.):
I go back and forth between Seattle and San Francisco a lot, but I’m definitely going to make this place a must-​go every time I’m back in the city!

Ivy did an amazing job and was very thorough but also gentle. She explained what she was doing and why and my skin’s never looked better. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Just had my facial done by Zoe and I am so happy with my results ! Not only is she really experience and educated about skin but I love how she takes her time and talks to you like a friend. She is super funny which makes the extraction much less painful and pleasurable. In addition, she also gave me the best shoulder massage .ever! Which surprisingly is better than a lot of the professional massage places that I have been to in the past. $ 60 for 90 mins & every penny was worth it. 5 stars for results, service, price, massage, environment and overall experience.
I think, wait no. I know I have just found my new to go place for facials!
Ps: if you try this place out, make sure to ask for Zoe!!!

This is a really nice find by the Unilocal reviews, thanks everyone!
Ivy is just amazing. She gives wonderful facial massages. The best I’ve ever gotten… She beats many other higher end facial places.
Highly recommend to give her a try! You ll like it!

OH the long long lovely face massage. OH the long long lovely chest massage! Yes I get my pimples popped but what really draws me to a place is the face and chest massage. I introduced my sisters to this place and one says after trying Ivy’s facial, she can no longer go back to the place that she used to go to, and the other one, a very persnickety one, made her next appointment right away. Zoe is really good too; it’s nice to have a choice and to have both choices be good choices. Plus, there’s PARKING!

I’ve been going to Ivy since I first found out about this place! she’s great, knowledgable, and makes you feel relaxed! I haven’t had a facial in 2 years, after going to her for a few sessions, my skin feels more hydrated & i wear less foundation than I did before. I would definitely refer them to anybody!

cozy bed，soft music， Zoe is very nice and my face is much better than last year. It’s a perfect place for me.

Zoe has been my esthetician for years. She takes very good care of all her customers that is her top priority. This is the main reason why I’m a repeat client. Whenever my face needs extra TLC, she comes to my rescue to recommend the best products catering specifically to my face. Obviously, her 90 mins facial & massage are out of this world. I often fall asleep since it’s so relaxing. This place is cozy, clean, comfortable, & makes me feel at ease. Bonus, there is parking space. You need to come & check it out for yourself!

Any new mother would know that once your baby comes along, you don’t get anymore attention from your husband or even from yourself. As a mother of a two year old, a facial was long overdue. When my husband took my daughter to visit the grandparents, I bit the bullet and pampered myself instead of cleaning.
Made an appointment with Zoe and was able to get an appointment the same day.
Zoe greeted me and showed me to the room as soon as I walked in. I immediately connected with Zoe and thought she was very easy to get along with. None of that silent moment during my hour and half treatment — probably because we were the same age and we both had kids? Looking at my face, she knew I had neglected it for a long time. She added a mini peel just to get rid of any dead skin and then did the extractions. She doesn’t use the extraction tool, using only her fingers and kleenex, which IMO is less harsh on the skin. She worked on me the whole hour and half, even massaging my arms and neck during the mask, which others have left the room in past experiences.
I think because this was my first time, Zoe gave me 10% off, but you can buy packages for a better price.
When my husband returned home four days later, he mentioned that my face looked «brighter» — in female terms I think he meant my face glowed.

Zoe is so prompt, attentive, and a very sweet lady. Great customer service she is always on time and this place is so clean and cozy. I’ve been there three times and each experience was great! The 90 minutes facial and massage was very relaxing. She never pushes me to buy any products which is another reason I love it there. Parking is never a problem since they have a parking lot! A big plus not to worry about the meter!!!

Ivy is the best! I’ve been seeing her for months now and have been meaning to write a review.
She gives such great service! She’s prompt, nice, always giving me feedback on my skin (whether good or bad) and advising what products/​kinds of products I should use that are specific for my skin type or simple tips on how to keep my pores clean (example: changing my pillow case twice a week instead of just once — simple tip — major difference). I’ve gone to other places before and while they do a good job, they’re always trying to sell me their products — not Ivy, she seems to just really care. Not just that she even trims and shapes my eyebrows and gives me a MASSAGE while the mask is drying! I couldn’t ask for more! Ivy’s service has made me a regular. I highly recommend her!
PS. They have parking spots in front so you never have to worry about parking. :)
