Reviews of Skin Essence a Day Spa (Spa)

Brittani Peedin

I would give Skin Essence A Day Spa a Five-Star rating a million times over. I myself have been here for Skin Treatments close to ten times now and have always been very happy with my results. Prior to coming here, I had tried many other places in hopes that someone could heal my skin. I saw muliple high-end dermatologists, went to Sona MedSpa, and many more. All I really did was waste thousands of dollars for little to no result. After I found this place, I never looked back. The owner, Lina, is incredibly talented at what she does and works magic in transforming the skin. She has become a great friend of mine, and truly cares deep down about each & every patient she sees. Definitely go here, book today. I promise you’ll be glad you did!!!

This was my first time getting a chemical peel . I have to say it was the best experience ever !!! Let me start off by telling you how friendly and easy going they were , great atmosphere and most importantly they helped me understand what was best for my skin. I walked in not knowing anything about chemical peels or microdermabrasions . They explained everything and showed me what was going to happen step by step . The owner Lina the absolute sweetest lady . My skin has never looked or felt better , definitely going back again . My new favorite place

I love being there! Lina is fabulous and it's always peaceful and professional.

First and for most I would not call this place a spa. I have been to legitimate spas where atmosphere and massage quality could not be put in the same category with this place. Room was cold and felt like a bathroom with a massage table, not a relaxing environment you would expect from a spa. Massage was not bad but compare to other places felt very ammature and sloppy. For headrest they used a towel wrapped around in the circle...if you never been to a good massage place you might think it's ok. I would recommend to spend extra 20 dollars and go to a real spa.

Went to get a massage. The massage was amazing Kenya? Took great care of me and explained what she was doing and after offered suggestions for what I could do to loosen muscles in the future. When I was leaving I decided to see if the had any openings for a last min microdermabrasion. They were able to fit me in which was awesome. Then things went down hill. Lina pulled me in a room and without giving me a second to think begans taking pictures of my skin and blowing them up to show me my problem areas. Saying that I should get some treatment to laser off some freckleish spots that I have. I tell her I like them no thanks. Well after a few minutes of overwhelming me with that we picked a treatment. Microdermabrasion and a enzyme peel. One of the ladies starts the process and after she puts the stuff on she leaves to go talk to Lina. She comes back and recommends a chemical peel I decline. ( I am already having a microdermabrasion and different peel) and then asked why I didn't want to get the laser treatment. I tell them again. I like them. Lina then comes back in and tells me I have 21 layers of skin and that it's absolutely necessary for me to get a chemical peel because me skin doesn't look good because it's still oily and that the spots on my face are going to get worst of I don't take them off. So you mean to tell me that after almost 250 dollars spent I need over 300 dollars of more treatments. Pass. I finished up and left. The icing of the cake. When I got home and looked I still have residual makeup on. So they couldn't even clean my face enough to get the makeup off but you want me to pay you 550 for skin treatments. NEVER AGAIN!!

Skin Essence Day Spa in Raleigh, NC is fantastic! The owner was very helpful and after an evaluation of my skin she provided valuable feedback and I started on a regimen using the Vivant product line. In less than a month, the condition of my skin greatly improved - so much that everyone noticed! I live a couple of hours away from Skin Essence-Raleigh, but when I ran out of my Vivant products I called the owner to have them shipped to me. I did check in my area and no other spa carried this line. My products were shipped via regular mail and I received them within 2 business days. Not only will I return to Skin Essence-Raleigh, NC for all of my facial/spa needs, I have and will continue to recommend this salon to everyone. I've used so many products (including prescription products) on my face and none of them compare to this wonderful Vivant product line or the level of service you will receive at Skin Essence-Raleigh. I use the green tea antioxidant cleanser and the mandelic acid 3-in-1 exfoliating cleanser. My skin is blemish-free, soft, fine lines have disappeared (although I am not sure how, but these 2 products have done this) and redness has completely disappeared. Thank you!!

Great spa!

Robyn Sanders

I have been a client of Lina's for over a year now. When I first came to Lina I had always had great skin, but a life crisis left me with hyper pigmentation on my forehead that I wanted to get rid of but managed to not find anything that worked for my skin. I have very sensitive skin, so I was skeptical to try anything else. Fortunately, Lina administered my first chemical peel. After a series of about 3-4 peels over the next few months my skin was back to its perfect condition and now looks flawless. I have also utilized the red and blue light treatments as well as microdermabrasion services in order to continue promoting healthy, clear and glowing skin. In addition to the services offered by Lina, the products have also allowed me to promote healthy skin while I am on the go, or in the comfort of my own home. Everywhere I go I am told how much younger I look than my true age and I am always asked what I use on my skin. Lina truly cares about your interests and needs and she will not complete any service or recommend any treatment unless she feels it is absolutely the best for your skin. She is kind, patient, and thorough in each appointment and I can't thank her enough for her services. The other staff at the spa are very welcoming, friendly, and helpful as well. It is a great atmosphere to recieve any of the services they offer. I recommend this spa and it skin services without any reservations to all who are searching for a place to call home.

Nothing else has ever worked on my skin. I felt I had ran out of options until a friend that already comes here recommended me to check it out.... it's been 2 weeks & I can see a huge difference the compliments ive been getting are just amazing definitely worth my money... I don't see myself going anywhere else. Thanks to Lina & her staff for doing such an outstanding job they're AMAZING!!!!!!!! My confidence level has gone all the way up!

I had an excellent experience here. Lina is so kind and makes you feel extremely comfortable.

Vanessa Williams

I've had the pleasure of being a client at Skin Essence for the past five years. I started out purchasing the Vivant line and quickly gained confidence in Lina's knowledge about skincare. As a result, I decided to allow her to perform her recommended treatment plan to address the acne and hyper pigmentation on my face. As an African American women, I am very cautious about what is applied to my skin, as not to cause further discoloration. Lina explained which treatments and topical products would work best and I've experienced tremendous improvement since being a client. I love that I can visit occasionally to get a really good facial or schedule a series of visits, if I notice my skin going though a challenging phase. As an African American woman in my 40's, that's benefited from Lina's guidance, treatment and excellent products/service, I highly recommend Skin Essence!! My 22 year old daughter is also a client!!!

Dayanna Azccuy

I originally went to Lina back in 2015 with help because my face was breaking out all the time to the point I didn't know what else to do. I tried all kinds of different products and none seem to solve my problem. The moment Lina started treating my skin I can definitely say that she was my miracle sent from god. The products work AMAZING. Vivant is the best thing I could ever use on my face to treat and get rid of acne and skin pigmentation. I wouldn't go anywhere else but to her for anything that has to do with my face. I also tried out the spray tanning last summer and loved the results. Lasted a long time. Thank you Lina for all you have done for me.

Vicki B

I love Skin Essence. Lina knows so much about skin and what works for different skin types. A family member had acne and her treatment for it worked, she got to the root when even prescriptive creams would not. My skin looks wonderful after her invisible face lift treatments, she takes her time with me, I've never felt rushed. I recommend her to anyone looking for quality skincare.

Summer Barton

I went to skin essence because I had been struggling with acne for a few years without any help from over the counter washes. Lina is very knowledgable and relatable. She performed a acne treatment on my face and told me that I should use ice for two minutes a day and sold me a face wash that works amazing! She also always works thoroughly and never rushes through the treatments. Also you can tell that they use quality products and don't cut corners as some skin spas I have experienced. I will keep returning!

Julia McNamara

Did a great job tinting my lashes

m bree

Skin Essence a Day of Spa is the best solution after having struggled 6 years with acne. My face transformed and become smooth and flawless and now i get compliments everyday. Since i have a dark skin ,I was already giving up until i went to skin essence. I trusted Lina and the process. the result is remarkable. It was the best decision i ever made in my life. Even flying from Germany to the USA for this treatment was definitely worth it. I not only got the best treatment but also the skin care education. that is so valuable for my skin. I definitely recommend it to the whole world and people who want a youthful, pigmentation- and acne free skin.

Noiney S.

Monti is the best for waxing!

Danielle Villanueva

Great service

Mr. Keever

Infrared sauna is great. 50+ minutes of sweat therapy. Wife loves the foot ion cleanse. She recently received a facial treatment and it was awesome. Great little spot for holistic health!

Tiphany Collier

I went here to get a facial. I wanted the most simplest facial just to give my skin a little pampering for an event I had coming up for the weekend. Lina talked me into getting microdermabrasion. Undergoing the service seemed rough, harsh, and rushed. I told her that my face felt RAW and her response was that it was fine and my skin would be beautiful. The next day, I had 3 new scars on my face from the procedure. A co-worker of mine even asked "what happened to your face?" It was horrible and I'll never go here again. When I usually get facials, the aesthetician doesn't leave the room. Lina left the room a couple of times and I was left there alone with my face burning for 10 minutes or more each time. She's very knowledgeable in her field, however, the customer service was a let down for me. My appointment was for 1:30pm, I didn't leave until around 3:30pm (I wasn't seen until a little after 2pm). I wouldn't recommend a facial here at all, try somewhere that tends to their customers better and actually listens to what their customers tell them. I hope my scars fade soon. :-(

Candice McMillan

I had the best experience and I'm continuing to have the best experience treating and healing my skin. I love the results so far and gave come such a long way. Lina is so helpful and has blessed me in so many ways. I used to be scared to go out without makeup bc of the breakouts and dark marks, now I go out everyday without makeup. I love my skin. And I recommend any and everybody that is in need of skin treatment to go to her. It's worth it and you will not regret it .

Karla Palacios

I got a bikini wax here and the service was amazing. The owner really knows what she is doing and she personally trains all of the girls. They were super professional and made me feel as comfortable as you can get during a bikini wax! The pain was minimal and I did not have any in grown hair, itchiness or bumps. They only downside is they are pretty pricey but it is worth it for knowledgeable service and lasting results. They usually have Groupons as well. The room I was in was ok. It needed a little updating and TLC but over all everything was very clean. I did not see the rest of the spa but from what I can see, a lot of happy clients were coming in and out getting different services done. They have a wide range of knowledge on skin care. Appointment only.

kim jansen

Everytime I make an appointment for a service they make me wait 20-30 minutes before coming up to front - then I have to wait more til they are ready. . It’s very rude and inconsiderate and a waste my time

Abby Wilson

Visited this spa for the first time and definitely looking forward to returning! Had made an appt for the infrared sauna, but thanks to the helpfulness of Victoria, was able to do the foot detox too. Whoa. A must try treatment.

Robert Ramsey

If you have any skin issues from age spots to acme this is the only place I would recommend. I have been going to Skin Essence for a couple of years now and I have been told that I look 10 years younger. When I show people that I meet pictures of me before I started my spa treatments at Skin Essence they do not believe it is me in those pictures. That you Lina and Skin Essence for making this wonderful transformation possible.

Lina Yang

Great for treating specific skin care needs and wants. We give 100% effort to achieve the skin care goals you want

Brooke T

Absolutely awful experience. They don't use the vinchy showers like they on the website and when asked if I needed to use the bathroom they gave me a tissue box and said they didn't have toilet paper. They can't answer any questions. It was by far the worst experience I've ever had! They also don't give the 30% off like they say on the website either for first time customers.

Melissa Lawrence

The owner and staff at Skin Essence a Day Spa will take great care of you...whether you go for a facial, waxing, sauna treatment, nail care, massage...you name it! Lina and her professionally trained staff are consummate health and skin care specialists, and I would highly recommend this spa for anyone wanting to look and feel more beautiful! : )

Caitlin Wagoner

Great massage, one hour on groupon for around $35, awesome customer service, super relaxing environment, love the music and atmonsphere in the massage room. Just waiting for another groupon so I can go get another one!

Jennie Feliz

This is truly the best place to go!!! The staff is amazing they are very knowledgeable. Highly recommended.. Best brazilian I have ever received!! Even my son enjoyed a massage!!

Ellen Strazis

I had a wonderful experience here. My esthetician was so kind and thoughtful. I had came for a wax and left feeling great about myself mentally and physically.

Hugues Thevenin Jr.

Great services, decent prices. Friendly and professional staff.

Angela Corey

Skin Essence and Lina have been taking care of my skin for almost a decade now, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Always attention to detail and tailors each treatment to fit my needs. With a variety of services, I can always find what I’m looking for and the products are excellent!

Lynlee Maddren

Monti is great and so friendly! She made me feel very relaxed and comfortable throughout the process. The spa is tranquil and clean- highly recommend!

rachel bailey

Gorgeous, relaxing environment and kind staff. I spent a little more to update the Groupon chemical peel and I'm glad I did, because the effects were much stronger than the last, less mild peel I had elsewhere. I had the jessner here. Subtle pressure to buy expensive products though. I just used aquaphor at home, my usual gentle cleanser and elta md or cerave sunscreen. The peeling was mostly controlled well with aquaphor but admittedly there were times I wanted to hide my face. Going for another treatment next month, and probably one after that to reduce red scarring.

Darla Masters

Amazing care, thoughtful and genuine staff have your very best in mind

Scott Kleist

As a guy, historically lets be honest, not really much of a face washer. But after seeing Lina and following her super simple protocol my forehead has finally cleared up. Lina Y. the proprietor, is always the highlight of my visit. I come as often as I could when I find myself in north Raleigh and always find at least one gift for myself from facials (yes...i know...admitting it..only bc Lina says so) to one of my favorites, the ionic foot bath. I would definitely say call, make an appt and go treat yourself because yes you and I...we totally deserve it.

Nicole Labbato

AMAZING...this a wonderful spa!!! Lina is great and really cares about her clients. I've never had Microdermabrasion before, and she recommended it...after coming in for a pedicure through Groupon. I've been there three times since. My skin has been looking better, love the products she recommended and will be seeing her again and again. Oh and my favorite was my spa pedicure, with Pronee...she is amazing!!! Massaged my feet and was in bliss.... You must go see her!!! Enjoy

Aaron L.

Lina runs this gemstone of a spa in affluent north Raleigh where she offers high quality services that fit the schedule and the budget. I highly recommend her eyelash tinting for folks with medium-colored hair to make the eyes pop. It is like waking up with mascara already on for weeks but is subtle enough for women and men. Best of all, Lina genuinely cares about her patients and takes care of us as if we were relatives.

Punkiepi 85

Staff is very nice. Lena (owner) and Victoria are awesome.

Mariya Berezhnova

Excellent service and staff. Also, very clean facility. I feel pampered and appreciated when I leave the spa. I recently moved to NY and I wish I could move skin essence with me. You can put your trust into Lina (owner) cause she will do her absolute best to make your skin look the way you always wanted it to.

Matt Wagner

Saw Lina for some hyper-pigmentation issues, she recommended a microderm and chemical peel. Said my skin would be great afterwards.That was not the case. At. All. Procedures were way to aggressive and now I have scars and mottled skin on face. Went back shortly afterwards to ask her what happened but she wouldn't try to resolve the issue. Played dumb more or less. Going to Lina is one of the biggest mistakes I've made. You've been warned. I can't stress this enough: Lina butchered my face. Saw her twice post-butchering to see if she could something to repair the damage she did but she offered nothing - not even an apology. Don't push your luck... STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!

minnie love

Thus far, I have had one microdermabrasion, one chemical peel and two LED eye treatments (I think that's what they're called)... All because I went for a Brazilian! And I keep coming back for my Brazilians because Lina is the BEST, hands down. I've been getting waxed since I lived in Los Angeles in 2000 and no one has EVER been as quick or as thorough as Lina. I never have to go home and tweeze and, ladies, you know what I mean. The rest I've done at Lina's recommendation and EVERYONE noticed a difference in my skin! My skin STILL looks amazing 2 months later! And, she peeled some very noticeable scars on my legs and they faded to nearly nothing! I am getting microdermabrasion and a peel for the keratosis pilaris on my arms and, afterward, I will probably write another review, expounding on the wealth of skin care knowledge Lina has because I am sure, VERY sure if Lina says it will work, IT WILL WORK, and 40 years of an embarrassing skin will finally be gone...

Velina Killmeyer

Lina and her staff do a wonderful job at educating clients on skin care and the latest non invasive skin treatments and technology to improve the tone, clarity, and quality of your skin. My skin hasn’t looked better in twenty years and l am very happy with the improvements already!

Casey Cooper

I had an amazing experience at Skin Essence! I had a microdermabrasion, chemical peel, and also had my eyebrows waxed. Lena was so great through the whole process. She explained everything as she treated me. She seems to know everything when it comes to skin! I can't imagine going anywhere else! She shaped my eyebrows perfectly and after the peel, I noticed an obvious difference in my skin! Thank you to everyone at Skin Essence for the wonderful experience!! - Casey

Tanisha Layne

I absolutely love Skin Essense, Lina does a fantastic job with my eyebrows. My face lovessss her.

E J

Great staff and great care. I've been here 8 times and keep going back.

April Bell

Lena is perfect! Excellent customer service. Great attention to detail. She goes above and beyond each time with no half stepping. I've been seeking her for 5 years plus

Toya Brown

This place makes your day so relaxed after a stressful day at work. I know when i get back to North Carolina after dealing with my stepsisters I'm going to need it.

Christine Carik

I would fly cross-country to get one of Mary’s chemical peels. Like no other!!

Ryenne Ogburn

My mom and I each had an appointment for a facial and a body scrub a couple weeks ago. I should preface this review by saying I am a regular spa-goer and know good customer service and quality spa treatments. Upon entering the spa I was worried right away. There is so much advertisement in the waiting area for skincare product lines and treatments that it is ridiculous. The woman that owns the spa tries to push costly treatments and products onto you even when it is apparent you aren't interested. She started off the facial by being 45 minutes late and then wanted to 'show me how to wash my face'. I am a skincare guru. I don't need to be shown how to wash my face. No I don't want to wash my face with abrasive gauze. I was curious when she wanted me to put my face in a machine that supposedly shows light damage and oily skin etc. According to the color chart my skin contained the right amount of oil. Following this the owner tried to convince me to get a chemical peel by misrepresenting my skin type provided by her own equipment. I didn't go ahead with the facial. I do not trust her with my face. I did get a body scrub. I only moved forward with the scrub because my mom had already had hers and said it was good. It was with another woman, not the owner. The scrub was mediocre at best. The customer service provided by the employee was good. However, I have gotten quite a few body scrubs and this one was the shortest and the least thorough and least relaxing. This spa just isn't worth going to.

windywoo woo

Had a 90 min massage and loved it. Staff was excellent.

Marlaya Ross

Ms. Lina did my friend and I's first Brazilian waxes and she was such a treat. She made our first wax experience very comfortable, gave us advice on how to prevent certain skin issues, and explained every step of her process. We were happy with the results and will be going back to Skin Essence.

sherri garrett

I travel 3 hours just to have Lina do my Jessner chemical peels. Lina is very professional and the best I have found thus far. I've never met someone who truly cares about the skin of her customers like Lina does. I highly recommend Skin Essence!

RaeLynn Carr

Excellent skin care!!! I have been going to Lina for approximately eight years and would never go anywhere else. I have had gift certificates to other places over the years and they just don't compare to the quality of skin care treatments I receive with Lina or Monica (her daughter). Lina has such much knowledge about skin and procedures. I trust her recommendations and know that I am in great hands. I constantly get compliments on my skin and know I have Lina to thank for that.

Attic Man

Called to schedule couple massage and price quoted on phone was $290 and website states $200. Fix your prices. Moving on...

jonna artisan

Not a med spa, they do great facials

Terilyn Demarsi

If you are ready for a caring and one of the most highly advanced professionally trained skin care experts to meet with you and acknowledge your personal skin care areas of needing attention...you owe it to yourself to seek that qualifying expert. In this case, I would highly recommend Lina Yang with Skin Essence. The bottom line is everyones' skin constantly changes, the skin cells need to renew, breath, and rejuvinate. We all need that extra help to ensure that special glow, smooth skin, clear complexion and any way to keep those unwanted crow lines at bay. The sun can damage our skin among smoking, smog, the toxins, foods we eat and lets forget about stress. Unless you eliminate stress, the sun, toxins, don't eat or if even if you don't that can cause damage, don't smoke and little in a bubble....don't worry about protecting your largest organ. If you live in the real world and DON'T have time with less experienced overprriced, bottom lined, count you as just another appointment type "spas'....I IMPLORE you to get serious and visit Lina and let her use her hands on and educational experience to turn back the clocks of time to beautify your delicate skin. Lets face it when you feel good and look in the mirrow and see a glowing clear clomplexion, you will smile more and look beautiful. After all you owe it yourself to feel and look your best. Lina will work with you on your journey. Lina has sncerely been workihng with my skin and helping me feel my best for over 10 years. I would NEVER push a review unless it was real, sincere and it could help someone else enjoy the experience I have. I love Lina and her advice and so does my hubby! I feel like a million bucks. I saw an ole friend from high school a month ago and she could not get over how young and radient my complexion looked compared to hers....I just said, "GO VISIT LINA with Skin Essence....today!" Lina is a remarkable trustworthy skin expert. If ANY one on here had any negative reviews...it is only because of their lack of true understanding and appreciation for a Skin Care Expert going the extra mile to assit our community one body at a time the right way...on a journey. Be prepared to be glowing with beauty, confidence and a smile to welcome anyone. Thank you Lina...you ROCK!~

Danielle Taleas

The owner is very knowledgable and gentle! I have had a wonderful experience with every visit. It is clear that Lina really wants to make a difference for people and their skin. My chemical peels always come out perfect and my pores are smaller and skin softer. I don't trust anyone else to do my treatments! I highly recommend their products as well. I get so many compliments on my skin now! Thank you Lina and the Skin Essence staff!

Monica Guerrero

The only good thing about this place was the tea

Netasha Phillips

Great service!

Jackie Barnes

Spray tans are wonderful! Staff is kind and makes you feel comfortable. checking out more services! Thank you.

Duy-Tan Ngo

I highly recommend Skin Essence for its effective treatments of removing facial scars, moles, acne, and massages.I have had all these services done there and the results are fantastic. Lina, the owner is expert at what she does and she truly cares about her clients. The staff is very friendly and professional also. One of my favorite is the ion cleanse, which does an excellent job at clearing your lymphatic system of toxin build-up, from work stress or diet. A+

Cathy Thomas

State of the art services and Zen like atmosphere!

Elizabeth Jemison

I have been to a wide variety of day spas and I must say that Lina has been the most knowledgeable, effective and thorough. I have had acne my whole life and as a result, have scarring, uneven skin tones and large pores. In addition, due to extreme cold exposure, I had visible broken capillaries on my nose. I received dermabrasion treatment along with a chemical peel; those two alone have reduced scarring and minimized my pores. I also had a skin growth treatment which removed completely and immediately the broken capillaries on my nose,( I'm so thrilled about that one would, definitely recommend!!!). The red and blue light treatments are painless, effective, affordable and very safe for the skin. I liked the red and blue lights as preventative steps against future breakouts. Lastly, Lina colored my eyelashes and eyebrows, which were a perfect match to my hair color. I would STRONGLY recommend Skin Essence's services and am very happy with my results. Lina is a gem and has helped me tremendously with my acne problems. I am a VERY, satisfied customer.

Valerie Kern

This is not a review on their facials. I've never had a facial here but I received 3 waxes and each time, the area I got waxed broke out in what looked like dozens of tiny pimples. Not very attractive. It took a few days of exfoliating, cleaning and antibacterial ointment for them to go away. I've had dozens of waxes and many other facilities and never had this happen. However the service was good, facilities were clean and the staff was friendly.

Stacy Suggs

I had the best experience at Skin Essence Day Spa. The staff is extremely friendly and Lina (the owner) is so kind and provides the best service. My first visit to the spa was because of a GroupOn voucher for a wax service and once I visited the spa, I discovered much more. Lina had a consultation with me about the skin growth removal service she provides that will remove the spots/freckles-like moles on my face. I don't know the proper term for them but that's what they look like. :-) ...I went through with the service in which she uses a laser-like tool to remove them and I'm extremely happy with the results. I never knew a service like that was available until I started going to Lina. I'm so happy with the results that I have proceeded to get the procedure done around areas of my neck. Skin Essence, A Day Spa is my "go-to" for all of my skin care needs.

Ashley McLeod

Fantastic all around. The spa was very clean and the staff was super kind. They really care about your experience. Kenya did my message which was by far the best message I have ever had. She really took her time to address my shoulder pain and gave me my full hour. Someone else did my body scrub and facial (I feel silly because I can remember her name and I spent the most time with her). She was amazing also. My skin was glowing when I left and it still looks great days later. Next time I go back I will be sure to book with these two ladies. Very professional top notch service!

Krystle

Great place! Found it via Groupon and it was a very pleasant experience. The owner is friendly, accommodating, patient and knowledgeable about her services and products. Would def recommend this place for all kinds of beautification needs

Christine Steffes

I went in for a Brazillian after purchasing a groupon. I absolutely LOVED the woman who waxed me. I don't remember her name but she was amazing. This was my first ever wax, other than a leg wax years ago, and she made me feel really comfortable. She also kept me laughing through most of it and made the pain more bearable simply by being patient and understanding. I will definitely be going back!!

Imani DeLoatch

I had my first wax at Skin Essence and Lina Yang did an excellent job! She made my first experience very comfortable and wasn't scary like the experiences friends of mine had. I wanted to make sure I was ready for the beach and everything was perfect for me thanks to her!!!! I would recommend to everyone to see Lina at Skin Essence!!!!!!

Kelly Thornton

At the beginning of the summer, I had lots of acne and inflammation. Now that I've started going to Lina at Skin Essence, my skin is clear and radiant. Everyone has noticed a major difference. I've gotten facials before and they were a total waste of money. I saw a difference after one treatment. Just remember it is an investment and it takes time for your skin to completely clear up. As someone who has tried different treatments and different products, I'm relieved to work with someone who knows what they are doing and has gotten real results.

Holley Carpenter

I had microblading done back in November by Lina...I was a bit nervous about it ,as it’s on my face but Lina calmed me and walked me through the process ,reassuring me along the way ...and low and behold...beautiful! I love it!!!

Kim Taleas

I have always had acne but it has always been under my skin. It always bothered me but I never really did anything about it. I thought about getting Proactive but my friends were always running around like chickens with their heads cut off when the ran out of product. Then I met Lina. She taught me to properly cleanse every inch of my face so i was toning my muscles and preventing saggy skin on top of getting clean. She gave me an acne treatment and I bought some products that Lina recommended for me to keep up with me skin at home. After one treatment I noticed my skin was clearer and smoother. Even my friends can tell the difference. Lina is always asking me about my skin and checking on it to make sure I am still washing my face and keeping it acne free. I get compliments on my skin all the time now. If it were not for Lina I would still be the cheerleader with acne. Now I'm the rugby player with beautiful skin. Lina is amazing and pays attention to every detail of what I want and what my skin needs. I will not go to anyone else because I know Lina puts 100% of her heart and effort into making my skin beautiful. I worked as a part of the Skin Essence a day spa team for three years. In that time I had many life changing experiences. While working there, I had come to know and love each of our clients. Along the way I really enjoyed witnessing each of the clients skin transformations. Being a part of this team is like having a second family. Lina has taught me a tremendous amount about skin care and customer service. Her knowledge, expertise, and her commitment to our clients is unlike any other. I will always cherish the time I had here working with Skin Essence and all the work we have done to provide our clients with the confident skin they've always wanted. It has truly been an honor and privilege. Thank you for letting me be a part of your lives, the experiences and memories here I will never forget.

I went because I had a gift certificate for a spa package and won't be going back. It doesn't have the relaxing atmosphere I look for in a spa and I wasn't given an option when booking to choose between a male or female massage therapist. I felt uncomfortable a few times with his techniques as they are never to reach under the blanket. He was unprofessional. The facial room is like a closet and has harsh fluorescent lighting as does the ionic foot cleanse room. Luckily, after a false start of what kind of facial is included in the gift certificate (which the technician should have known before trying to up-sell me), I got a great facial and my skin looked great afterwards. I don't know if the ion cleanse is worth it, but it was a new experience. I've had better massages and facials at Massage Envy. Not the place to go for relaxation but rather if you have a specific skin issue you want help with.

I ABSOLUTELY would recommend Skin Essence to any and everyone!!! I began seeing Lina 3 years ago at the age of 18, to help clear up the hyper-pigmentation (dark spots) on my face. She recommended microdermabrasion, chemical peel treatment and the Vivant skincare line. As an African American female, I was using products that weren't the safest for my skin type. However, Lina educated my mother and me on the right products to keep our skin healthy and clear. I am very grateful for Lina and all she's done! I'm less insecure about my skin and have seen a big difference, which is why Skin Essence will always be my skin care spa! Thank you Lina and the Skin Essence staff!!! :)

I have had the absolute pleasure of having Lina Yang care for my skin for the past six months. She has introduced me to microdermabrasion and peels and my face cannot thank her enough! Her recommendations for skin products and supplements have also really worked extremely well for me. But the most exciting new treatment she gave me is the addition of permanent eyebrows!! I love, love, love them and they look so incredibly natural; even when my friends examine them up close they have a hard time telling that they are not mine....except they look a lot nicer than the eyebrows I used to apply daily myself. No more daily eyebrow application or getting out of the water after swimming without eyebrows! If you have ever considered having permanent eyebrows, I cannot recommend Lina enough. Her skill is amazing and she took really good care of me through the healing process! Thank you Lina!!

I had a great experience at Skin Essence. The staff is great and the skin treatments and creams really works. I look at least 10 years younger. My wrinkles faded away and my facial muscles are firm. My husband was impressed of the results in such a short time. Lina solved all my skin problems that were on my face and neck area. She is professional and very experienced. I am certainly going back. I will strongly recommend Skin Essence to anybody who wants to look younger, relaxed and confident with their appearance. I would like to give 10 stars. They are the best in the area.

Lina has waxed my eyebrows for several years. She is focused & pays attention to detail, so I decided to get Microblading and I love it!! Lina talked to me about color, care & made sure I was happy with my eyebrows before I left her spa. Microblading has taken time off my daily routine & I feel like I look 10 years younger. I would do it again & definitely recommend Lina for Microblading

I have been going to Skin Essence Day Spa for over a year now and have had a wonderful experience each and every time. Lina and her staff are not only very knowledgeable, but really care about making sure that you get the best results possible. With continued use of her recommended products and routine treatments, I have noticed a dramatic difference in my skins appearance and texture. I would highly recommend Skin Essence Day Spa. You will love it!!
