ALONA IS THE BEST. Had my eyelashes done and they are still holding up, makes me look great. Also, had a wonderful facial. Alona is so geniune and really knows what she is doing. She always has good advice for keeping my skin healthy and it makes sense. The location is very nice, everyone greets you when you walk in. Highly Recommend booking an appointment with her.

I had such a calming and refreshing facial experience! Alona is very professional, knowledgable, and shared helpful skincare advice personalized to my skin. The Korean skincare products left my skin feeling hydrated, smooth, and glowing. I left feeling completely refreshed and pampered. What a treat! Highly recommend and look forward on coming back.

Thank you sooooo much!!! I came in for a facial after a long day at work and it was exactly what I needed. I have rosacea, redness and some congestion, and after the treatment my skin just felt so clean and fresh, like it could finally breathe. It looked brighter, my pores were less noticeable, and I had such a nice natural glow. I usually wear foundation or try to cover something up every day, but after the facial I didn’t even want to put makeup on — I actually really liked how my skin looked without it. And the chest and neck massage was sooo relaxing. I left feeling lighter and refreshed. It’s been about two months and today I realized I really need to come back! 🤍

I've been seeing Alona to clear up my acne, and she has truly delivered. I always tried different products to help my acne, but nothing really worked until I met her. Not only did she help me achieve clear skin, but she also restored my confidence. She's incredibly kind and caring, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for effective and supportive skincare help.

As a busy mom, taking time for myself doesn’t happen often — but this facial at Face Essence Studio was so worth it. The experience felt calm, professional, and genuinely caring from start to finish. My skin was glowing, and I walked out feeling lighter and more like myself again. Highly recommend.

I've been to Alona’s studio number of times. I usually get facials, and I tried lash lift and brow lamination. Alona has truly magical touch. And I'm always happy to recommend her!

Alona is absolutely amazing — I’ve been her regular client for a while now, and every facial she’s done has been exceptional. She makes me feel completely comfortable and confident, which means a lot since my skin is very sensitive. She’s incredibly attentive and always goes above and beyond to make sure I’m happy with the results. I truly trust her expertise and care. Simply put, she’s the best in Marin!

I've been seeing Alona for anti-aging facials and she always makes my skin look refreshed and glowing. I brought my granddaughter to her for acne treatments, and in a few months her skin has improved so much. We are both very happy. Highly recommended.

Alona is amazing and so sweet she makes you feel very comfortable at your appointment ! After just a few months of acne treatments and following her home care plan, my skin looks so much calmer and clearer. The redness is down, breakouts are minimal, and I finally feel confident without makeup. Highly recommend booking with Face Essence Studio!

I had my very first facial with Alona recently and it was a really positive experience. I went in hoping to improve my skin tone and address some dark spots, knowing of course that results take time, but even after just one session my skin felt noticeably more refreshed and balanced. Alona was thoughtful and knowledgeable throughout which made the whole process comfortable and reassuring. I’m looking forward to coming back for a more comprehensive treatment plan and seeing how things progress from here. Grateful to have started my skincare journey in such good hands!

If you want a facial and done by someone who knows what they are doing then go visit Alona. She is very gentle with her hands and makes you feel extremely relaxed and comfortable. I had never had a facial before and I booked her for a couples facial and both my husband and I loved it. She is very easy going and explains everything if you have any questions. Needless to say I will be booking with her again.

One of the most relaxing facials I’ve ever had! From the moment I walked into Face Essence Studio, I felt calm and cared for. Alona’s touch is so gentle, and every product felt soothing and perfect for my sensitive skin. I left with my face glowing and my whole body relaxed.

I did an acne treatment with Alona, and it was such a great experience. She helped me understand the root of my acne and explained exactly what I needed to keep it under control. The skincare she recommended worked so well for my skin, and I’m genuinely so happy with the results. Highly recommend!

I got a lash lift with Alona at Face Essence Studio and loved it! My lashes stayed lifted for weeks, until my new ones grew in. The conversation flow was effortless, Alona explained everything about the procedure, and even did extra to consult me on the face care routines. She was caring and gentle, and my tiime spent in studio was relaxing and rejuvenating. I would highly recommend!

I’ve been coming here regularly for facials, lash lamination, brow lamination, and most recently a Green Sea skin peel — and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results. The service is always top-notch, professional, and incredibly personalized. I struggled with post-acne scarring for a long time, and after just one Green Sea peel, my scars became hardly visible. I was amazed. My skin looks smoother and brighter than it has in years. My brows and lashes also look fantastic every time — lifted, shaped, and natural, just the way I like them. I’m so grateful to have found an esthetician who truly knows what she’s doing and cares about her clients. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for high-quality skincare and beauty treatments!

Alona, the owner of Face Essence Studio is absolutely amazing! She is very welcoming and professional. Her space is very clean and tidy, and she makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. The service I received was an eyebrow lamination, tint, and wax. It was the best service ever! She was very precise and detailed. My eyebrows have never looked so good! She is the best!!!

I had my facial done at the Face Essence Studio by Alona. Alona provides very nice services and relaxing atmosphere. Needless to say, my face has decreased pores and a healthy glow every one notices and complements on. I can’t wait to go back for my lash laminating appointment. I recommend the Face Essence Studio to all my friends.

I recently had a facial and a face massage at this salon, and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience! Alona, my facial specialist, provided exceptional care and attention. She took the time to understand my skin's needs and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. The results were fantastic—my skin feels refreshed, rejuvenated, and glowing. Alona’s professionalism, expertise, and warm demeanor truly stood out, making every visit enjoyable. The salon itself has a wonderful atmosphere—friendly, relaxing, and very professional. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and well cared for. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for top-notch beauty treatments and outstanding customer service!

I had an amazing facial experience here! The service was incredibly relaxing, and my skin felt so refreshed and glowing afterward. The esthetician was gentle, knowledgeable, and explained every step clearly. The products used felt high-quality and soothing. Definitely coming back again ,highly recommended for anyone looking to pamper their skin!

Highly recommend you visit this salon for the stellar service that is provided. Alona was extremely professional. She helped me to understand each step of the process and added recommendations for continued self care of my skin. I received a face-lift facial which was absolutely amazing. Alona was meticulous in checking whether I had any health issues, allergies or medications in order to pair the correct products for my skin type. The treatment was pure bliss. I also had a lash lift and brow lamination which made me feel ten years younger. The studio is pristine and such a tranquil environment. I literally could have fallen asleep. I feel like I floated out of there with my glowing, hydrated, fabulous complexion. Feeling rejuvenated and feeling amazing! Don’t miss out on the 25% Special in December. Treat yourself - you won’t be disappointed!

I did facial and eye-lushes lamination in Face Essence studio. I am very happy with. both services. The owner uses high quality products. She recommended great facial products for my type of skin for daily use. I still use them . The studio is clean, and equipment is new. She uses all safety and sanitary precaution to keep the studio and equipment clean.

Thanks to Alona’s support and facial treatments, I finally have my acne under control and got rid of the dark spots on my face I highly recommend her !!! :)

Had another wonderful visit to Face Essence Salon. The most relaxing and rejuvenating facial experience I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!

She’s got magic touch, you won’t regret it! Give yourself or loved ones a holiday gift by visiting her studio

Does the best work! Very clean and precise !

Last summer my skin became damaged and broke out in terrible acne. I had never dealt with acne before and felt very embarrassed and emotional about it. I never thought that I would see that my face would recover from the damage, until I met Alona and her magical hands! In just a few months, I’ve seen a huge difference and improvement in my skin. I’m so grateful and happy that I have gained back my confidence.

Alona, it's always a pleasure to come to you for the treatment! Best skincare, professional and real care with what really has to be done to improve the quality of skin! Love it! And happy to comeback!

I had such a wonderful experience at the studio! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, with calming music, soft lighting, and a peaceful environment that made it so easy to unwind. My custom facial with Alona was amazing. Before we started, she carefully examined my skin, explained what she noticed, and walked me through the entire treatment. She was so gentle throughout the facial, and the face massage was just amazing! It was super relaxing, and my skin felt so refreshed, clean, and glowing afterward. I also really appreciated that she took the time to explain a skincare routine tailored to my skin, including what products to use in the morning and at night. I left feeling like I had learned so much about how to better care for my skin. I also had a lash lift and tint. Love the results! It made my eyes pop. It was such a great experience, and I can't wait to come back for my next facial!
