Chris Tam Esthetics

Had an appt with Chris Tam for microdermabrasions. First one was done by Chris and I loved it. She was thorough and I felt that I received a great service. Second appt., not sure if she was busy, they had Hollie Schell and WHAT THE HELL. is she a trainee, receptionist? What a waste of my time and money. If you are a trainee Hollie, get your training elsewhere but NOT WITH MY FACE! EVERYONE STAY AWAY FROM HOLLIE SCHELL

I had a great experience here. The facial was well priced since it was my first time. Chris listened to my concerns about my skin, it is quite sensitive. It was very relaxing. My previous experience with a facial in Alameda was ok. I realized the other business overcharged. I was able to treat myself at Rise Day Spa with Chris Tam and not break the bank. I will go back. My face looked and felt great after my facial with microdermabrasion.

It was my first time today and it was a great experience. Chris was very thorough, experienced and very welcoming. My facial lady which i loved retired and I’m looking for someone to continue to help me look fabulous. I’ve been to others but not happy with them. I am very picking especially being in the customer service business (hairstylist). She did awesome. Will be back in 5 weeks…

Had microderm today in Chris’s new day spa, which is a lovely welcoming space. The facial with steam (love the steam!) and shoulder/​neck massages are wonderful and so relaxing. Chris really listens to your concerns and thoroughly examines your skin and personalizes the treatment accordingly. Excellent experience.

I’ve completed 2 microderm sessions with Hollie and am extremely satisfied. Hollie is thorough in doing the treatment and a calming presence besides – highly recommend the treatments. She paid special attention to a problem area, and the improvement was visible right away. I am so impressed with the results that I signed up for a series!

Experienced, professional and she adds lots of extra touches. Excellent experience! I would highly recommend Chris. Great products and her attention to detail was spot on. I felt pampered when I left!

Chris was great! I saw her after reading reviews on Unilocal and she was just as nice and cool and thorough as could be! I got microdermabrasion and was extremely satisfied. Her space was very zen and the whole treatment was extremely relaxing. I would recommend her to anyone.

Great Facial! I will return. I look awesome! Thanks Chris! You are a gem!

This is my first appt. after finishing my groupon deal, the prices are higher, I opted for a six microdermabrasion plan which was the same as the groupon…
Sometimes when we finish using our great deals, we are kind of skeptical about paying the original prices but this place is well worth it…
Chris really took an hour and half and cleaned my neck so well, that all my coworkers said my skin looks radiant…
The microdermabrasion is that special machine that spits out crystals to the dead layer of skin and then sucks all of it up into this little tiny vacuum…
The process of all the creams and cleansers she uses is just fantastic, everything smells so fragrantly sweet…
I am so happy after leaving her office, feeling refreshed and cleansed…

I just finished my second microdermabrasion appointment with Chris and I definitely plan to go back the next chance that I get! She is such a sincere person and I trust her completely with my skin. She even had an emergency today and rushed back for mine and my mom’s appointments in the afternoon.
I’ve had skin problems for years now, and I felt more improvement in my skin from my first treatment with Chris than I did with $ 500 laser treatments a few years back. She clearly knows her stuff… and it’s obvious that she cares about her clients and their results. I 100% recommend Chris for your skin care needs =)

Chris is fantastic. I’ve had many facials and she is one of the best.

I can’t say enough about my experiences with Chris Tam. She is a wonderful person who really knows her trade. I have seen her twice for microdermabrasion which I was nervous about, but she really put me at ease and took good care with the process. I can see a noticeable difference and feel much more confident about the treatment. I had questions about certain skin care products I had purchased and Chris invited me to bring them in for her consultation. I really appreciated her taking the time to do this as it went above and beyond. I highly recommend Chris for your skincare needs.

Chris is brilliant at what she does. I always look so much better leaving than I did coming in to see her. She waxes and shapes my eyebrows and now I get lots of compliments on them. She has also done facials and microdermabrasion on me and the results are unlike (better) any that I’ve had before. I have been going to her for about 4 years and can’t imagine entrusting my eyebrows and skin to anyone else. She is as wonderful a person as she is an esthetician. I am always glad to see her. She has such a bright and beautiful spirit that not only is my skin better, but so is my mood when I leave.
Thank you Chris for being so amazing!

Chris is AMAZING! She comes to LA about every 6 weeks and I always book my next visit when I’m leaving my treatmeant! Plenty of planning time and I can ensure a spot… like I said she’s amazing so can book up quickly!
Visiting Chris is the most relaxing experience and you leave looking great! I see a noticeable difference since beginning her microdermabrasion treatments about a year ago! It’s not an overnight drastic difference, but after instituting her tratments for a few months you WILL SEE RESULTS.
Chris is a pleasure and you’ll leave ready for more and happy you’re doing good things for yourself!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Chris’s facials are as pampering as they are thorough, but what I love is her microdermabrasion treatments. The first time I tried it was at a pricey, well-​known spa. Painful as hell, so of course when Chris suggested it years later, I resisted… and resisted. Eventually I caved in after she assured me that it was the best treatment for my hyperpigmentation. Her approach was completely different from that swanky spa and it was downright relaxing. And she was right – not only does my skin look brighter and feel smoother, but her prices allow me to keep it as part of «my treatments» on her regular trips down to LA. Thanks, Chris!

First let me say that I’m super bummed that I’m writing this from Los Angeles where Chris used to live, because now I’m only able to see her when she makes infrequent trips to LA to take care of her old customers!
Anyway, my loss is your gain. Chris rocks. I started out as a client and now now she is a good friend. Aside from her personality, she is a dream aesthetician; I totally feel at ease with her, and my skin looks great for weeks if not months after one of her facials.
I cannot stress how important facials are for your overall skin health and age prevention. I’m a man with oily skin and a receding hairline and I used to have a lot of blackheads on my nose and hairline, and by going to her regularily, my skin has totally improved. Pore size has reduced, my skin is super smooth, toned, and vibrant, and well, i look younger than I am… I just turned 39 and people always tell me they’re surprised, saying I look at least 5 – 7 years younger. Anyway, I attribute much of this to Chris and her talents. You’ll be so happy you made the decision to see her.
Of course, this didn’t happen overnight, it took a number of sessions before my pore size decreased and skin smoothed out, probably 6 months, going once a month or so. But your face is the first thing people see! Why wouldn’t you make the investment to make sure it looks its best??? Let Chris help you make sure it does.

I’ve noticed that since seeing Chris my skin has been much less congested and more hydrated that when we first started regular facials.
My facials with her are very pleasant, spa-​like and VERY helpful. I have a lot of stress with work, family and the like and don’t want the end result to show on my face. I highly recommend he treatments and assure you that she will be sincere in her recommendations.

Chis is the best. I was a little relcutant to try microdermabrasion as I have heard some people have bad reactions. Chris did a super great job! She is a terrific person who relaxes you the minute you are in her presence. What a great experience. It felt great and my skin looked the best it has ever looked. She also has done microdermabraion and a peel and WOW it really does reduce the years off your face. She takes great care of your skin and under YOU! Often it is hard to trust someone with your skin and you have to be careful that your skin doesn’t react poorly (sometimes it looks better the next day). With Chris, it looks great when you walk out the door. You are worth spending time with Chris and looking great!
