I've been looking for a place close to home for facials, and my friend referred me to Lina at 818 Skincare. I booked two treatments: the Signature Facial and Warm Algae Wrap. I enjoyed the body wrap, but it was the facial that did it for me--I absolutely loved it! She spent a good amount of time massaging my face...it was so nice that I almost dozed off. Lina took the time to analyze and assess my skin condition, then explain things to me. I really liked her attention to detail. She recommended a couple of products, but there was no pressure to buy...she even gave me free samples. I ended up buying the moisturizer she recommended (Dermalogica Active Moist), and I'm glad I got it.
818 Skincare is located inside E.T. Beauty Supply. It's a simple place without some of the spa amenities of the bigger spas. If you're looking for a facial done with quality products at a reasonable price without all the frills of a fancy day spa, then I recommend this place.
Another plus is that they accept SpaFinder gift certificates!
Pros: Excellent esthetician
Cons: Doesn't have full spa amenities
