PURE ESSENTIALS - San Francisco, California

Lisa B.

Lina is an experienced and outstanding esthetician. She customizes facials to her client's particular needs. During my first visit, she asked me to complete an extensive questionnaire to assess not only my skin's health but my overall health to inform how she proceeded with my facial.

I began appointments with Lina during the pandemic. She is ultra-cautious about health considerations: wears a mask and face shield while the client is present, takes the client's temperature, and insists on the client washing hands and gargling with an antibacterial mouthwash prior to the service. Her salon is bright and welcoming.

My skin has invariably felt many times better following an appointment with Lina. She uses products that work well with my skin to tone down the redness and increase moisture, and she "excavates" when extractions are necessary. During a recent appointment, she offered me a complimentary LED anti-aging treatment.

Highest recommendation! I will miss Lina's caring treatments after I relocate.

I have been going to Lina for about 10 years for lash extensions. She is a warm, welcoming person and her professional manner and quality of work are outstanding.
Her salon is quiet, simple and scrupulously clean. Plus, parking is not an issue.
I often receive compliments on my lashes and many do not realize that they are extensions - even at department store beauty counters!
The session is sooo relaxing and the finished effect is like having an eye lift - couldn’t be better!
Give her a try you will be pleased you did!

Lina is a highly qualified esthetician and is a magician with my lash extensions which look so natural. I’ve been going to Lina for over 10 years. Support your local business and try Pure Essentials!

Given I've been going to Lina for many years now, this review is long overdue. Lina is my secret weapon to looking (therefore feeling) my best. I have been getting lash extensions for several years now and Lina always does an amazing job- the extensions are always the right length, the lashes are always expertly applied and never clumpy, and the whole experience is always very zen. (Admittedly, so zen that I sometimes fall asleep) I also get regular facials done with Lina and my skin always looks amazing afterward. Lina is always so professional, kind, friendly, and executes each service with clear talent and experience. Highly recommend!

This review is seriously overdue! I've been getting eyelash extensions here religiously (every 3 weeks) for a little over a year now and Lina is the absolute BEST.

The location itself is very clean and I'm always super comfortable and relaxed throughout the service. Love the music! Time flies too because we're always chatting away.

Lina is gentle, meticulous but efficient, and always so nice. I get a lot of compliments on my lashes and sometimes people think they're naturally mine. 😉 On top of that, she has never been late for an appointment and is very responsive via text. I highly recommend Lina- I will never go anywhere else!

Lina is so awesome!!! Best eyelash service ever! I see her regularly, she is flexible with scheduling and is a great person to talk to. I get compliments all the time about my lashes. Or sometimes people think those are naturally mine! I have had really bad experiences with eyelashes, but NEVER with Lina. She's always my go-to girl for facials and lashes!

Lina is great! I have been seeing her for monthly facials since the beginning of the year, and my skin has seen great improvements. She's friendly, professional, and never tries to upsell you. Lina is very thorough, and takes the time to learn your skin type/concerns and provide feedback and advice. She definitely deserves all the five star ratings, highly recommended!

I got facials from Lina last year and got lash extensions for the first time for my bridal shower and continued getting them until my wedding. I got so many compliments on my lashes! She is extremely professional and I highly recommend her services.
