Elena is the best in her field! As an esthetician, she is professional, knowledgeable and makes you feel as if you are her only client. She keeps notes regarding your skin type, treatments and what is effective for you. We as women, take pride in our skin especially as we age. I wouldn't go to anyone else as I trust her emphatically with my skin! Sam R.

I came to Elena years ago & I am just now getting over the damage she left on my skin. I've gone to estheticians twice & both times left me traumatized. Elena was the last esthetician I ever went to. I went to Elena back in 2020, I found her through Yelp & she had very few reviews at the time, all five stars. The first time I went in, I met her, she did a facial to treat my acne and she squeezed my face so hard my eyes would water. She literally gave me a tissue so I could keep wiping my tears. I told her I have very sensitive skin & I don't like people squeezing my skin because it will scar. This happened with the first esthetician I went to, she assured me she would not leave scaring. I let her do her thing trusting she was a professional & trusting the five star reviews. When I saw my skin I noticed she was trying to extract freckles & little moles I had on my skin, the skin around my freckles & moles were pinched & red & burning. She left scars all along my cheeks, on my forehead, on my chin, and I feel like she even left my nose lumpy from how hard & how much she would squeeze my skin. When I smile, there is a scar from a "blackhead" she squeezed. She was pushy with her products that caused an allergic reaction & when I told her, she told me I needed to seek a professional because she couldn't help me, completely disregarding the inflammation started when I began to use her products. Because of the terrible experience I had with her, I went to go see a dermatologist & he fixed some of the scaring she caused me. I'm all about supporting small mom, pop, immigrant, businesses but just be careful because she will cause scaring with her extractions & I don't want someone else to go through what I went through being misled with 5 star reviews. It made me so self conscious & luckily, I'm able to afford a good dermatologist, but my scaring treatment is not cheap at all.

I've been going to Elena to treat my skin for over 5 years. I had severe melasma and hyperpigmentation. While other skin care specialists fed me fairytales promising permanent results after using their ridiculously expensive products and laser treatments, Elena was straightforward and taught me how to improve my skin condition and maintain it. My skin improved drastically, not just melasma with hyperpigmentation but also the texture, the tone, the feel. I had pregnancy acne a while ago that wasn't pleasant at all and she fixed that as well. She's never pushy, never rude or disrespectful. She always listens to your concerns and tries to offer or find the solution. She's highly professional and knowledgeable skin care specialist. On top of it, she has a very sweet personality and SHE REALLY CARES ABOUT YOU AND YOUR SKIN. The atmosphere in her office is always welcoming and relaxing. The staff is lovely, too! Recently I added facial massages to my routine and I'm absolutely loving the results! So, YES! I highly recommend Elena. In fact, majority of my friends already go to her and are very impressed with how their skin looks and feels after her care.

Elena is just the best. I get my VI peels and Hydrofacials and have seen such an improvement with the texture of my skin . I suffer from melasma as well and have seen it diminish overtime. When i am there , it's like I'm at a very expensive spa.. just the best !!

During these tough times I'm trying to take care of myself and thanks to Elena I feel like one area of my life is ok. I've always had problematic skin (acne, melasma, etc.) and wearing masks isn't helping, but thanks to Elena's hydra facials I've seen a great improvement. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable in skin care, she is caring and patient. I never feel rushed, it's peace and relaxation and for that any many other reasons I thank you Elena! See you in a few weeks

Elena is highly experienced and skillful specialist, knowledgeable and honest. She will never suggest you and never push you to do what you don't need. I came to Elena when my skin was in horrible condition, I had huge deep pimples on my cheeks and chin, and a lot of blackheads all over my forehead. I went to 4 different salons where I was ripped off for a facial without any result. I came to Elena in December 2018 and visit her every month since then. Now my skin is absolutely flawless. My confidence is back, I am so happy I found Elena. All the pimples are gone, and my skin is clean with healthy complexion. And btw, I drive all the way from orange county for my facial, so trust me she is a rare find.

I have been going to Elena for 10 years and she has completely transformed my skin!! I had first met Elena with horrible acne covered skin and she knew exactly what kind of treatments I would need to get my skin in better shape. Now my skin is crystal clear due to my religious visits with her (: Elena is a kind person and always makes me feel welcome and relaxed. She enjoys seeing improvement and always uses different products that work. Elena is the best and I highly recommend her to anyone that's looking for a professional/warm/effective esthetician. Thank you Elena!!

I have been going to Elena for over 10 years and she has truly transformed my skin. I look younger now than I did a decade ago. She is extremely knowledgeable, and is incredible at customizing her treatments to my specific skin care issues. She has a passion for helping her clients achieve the best results, and for making them look their best. Elena is unique. She cares more about the client's end result and their happiness than in the profits. Her prices are a steal for what she provides.

Elena is very knowledgeable, honest and an amazing esthetician!! I was referred to Elena by a friend and I have been going to Elena for almost 2 years and I will continue! I have been going to Elena to clear hyperpigmentation and even skin tone on my face and she has helped my skin tremendously! I am African American, therefore, my skin is unique but Elena is awesome and I trust her! One thing you should understand is you will see improvement with continuous visits! Her products really work! Whatever you are seeking to improve regarding skin care, Elena will direct you in the right direction and educate you as well! She will be very honest and she never sugar coats anything, which I truly appreciate! Most esthetician's will tell you what you want to hear and take your money but Elena is honest and humble!! She wants to help you and she takes pride in her work! I have referred several friends to her! If your looking for honesty and results, go see Elena she will take great care of you!! Thank you Elena for being the Angel to my skin care routine and improving my confidence:)
