I’ve been working with Julia since September and am so happy to have found her. I started with new breakouts everyday all over my cheeks and chin. I was using so many different products before I decided to see an acne specialist. Julia was kind and attentive; she asked me in depth questions about my skin and lifestyle. She then started me on the Face Reality acne home routine along with a peel that we do just monthly now. My breakouts have almost completely stopped and now we’re just treating post acne inflammation. I HIGHLY recommend visiting Julia if you are struggling with acne. She’s truly amazing at what she does and the level of care she places in her profession is unmatched.

I am literally elated that I found Julia! She is hands down the best esthetician I have ever worked with. I finally found a facial that I WANT to maintain because of how excellent she is! Not only is she very knowledgeable and professional, detail oriented, and kind - but it's SO relaxing and she goes above and beyond to make it a completely enjoyable experience. For example, other places I've been will put the red-light mask on and then leave the room until the time is finished, but Julia gives a scalp massage during! It's the little light touches that take it to a truly fantastic experience.

I also appreciate how her services are more open, so she can use her expertise to recommend options but also allows for specific services.

I am now a happy repeat customer and can't wait for my next facial! Thank you, Julia!

My last appointment with Julia was almost a year ago. It might seem strange to write a review for a service that I received roughly 11 months ago, but I feel compelled to share that the reason why I haven't been back is because I haven't had a major breakout since completing Julia's acne bootcamp.

When I first came in, I was struggling with moderate acne and had tried everything - different skincare routines, going to the dermatologist, other facialists - and nothing worked. Julia listened to my concerns and came up with a treatment plan.

I was skeptical at first, because again, I had tried everything. But here I am, almost a year later, with zero major breakouts.

I don't write a lot of reviews, but Julia truly deserves all the praise. Thank you for rescuing my skin! I'll be back again to tackle any scarring I have left!

Julia is an exceptional and delightful specialist. Her excellent soft skills and expertise have literally saved my face. Due to the stress of moving between two countries, I struggled to find suitable skincare products. I tried various brands and segments, but nothing seemed to work, even though my tests were normal.

After my appointment with Julia, we gradually worked together to improve my situation. Step by step, we identified my allergies and intolerances in different formulations and eventually arrived at our own customized formula.

Thank you so much for your immense patience, hard work, and professionalism. We continue to improve our skin journey with each visit, but the transformation from how things were to how they are now is entirely your accomplishment. Julia, I applaud you standing!

I recently had my first appointment at Dermal Formula, and I can't say enough good things about it! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed. The space was super clean and comfortable, creating a very relaxing atmosphere.

But what truly made the experience exceptional was the service I received from Julia. She is an absolute gem! Gentle, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable, Julia took the time to understand my skin concerns and recommend the perfect facial for my needs. Throughout the entire treatment, she was very gentle, making sure I felt comfortable and relaxed.

The results? Amazing! My skin felt absolutely fantastic afterwards – glowing and refreshed. Julia's expertise and care were truly evident.

I'm already looking forward to returning to Julia for more treatments! She's established a personalized skincare plan for me, and I can't wait to see the continued benefits.

As I am a professional esthetician myself, I pay special attention to everything during the appointment – it 's occupational hazard)). I highly recommend Julia's services not only for her high-level expertise but also for the incredible experience in her salon. You'll be surrounded by her attentive care, enjoy well-selected music, lighting, and decor. It's an amazing experience! Additionally, you'll leave with skin satisfaction, feeling like queen. I recommend both Julia's services and the carefully curated beauty products she selects for the best results and the radiant health and beauty of your skin! I will definitely be back!

If you want an elevated facial experience, look no further. Julia is truly devoted to her craft. Not only is she beyond knowledgeable and personable, she is also very gentle and thorough with every touch she makes. Her studio space is in a convenient location and I appreciate how warm and welcoming it is. I couldn’t ask for a better specialist to trust with my skin and beauty needs.

My experience with Julia was such a relaxing and kind experience. From the moment I got in there the ambiance was so comfy and cozy. She took a look at my skin and asked me thoroughly about my skin care routine, my problems and the results. Julia’s attitude is such as delight to talk to and makes you feel comfortable. My face felt so refreshed and clean after my service. I was treated by Julia and plan to visit her more in the future!
