Primadona

Does anyone know where fabrezia works now? I got my mom her first facial which she loved with fabrezia and she wants another! Please help!

If you were a past client of Carlos at Primadona, he has opened his own salon down the street!

I was really excited to use my Unilocal deal yesterday, but to my surprise this place is CLOSED… OUT OF BUSINESS. Why didn’t anyone at Unilocal contact their customers that purchased this deal? Someone at Unilocal took the time to update this web page to note that it was CLOSED? I’m not upset that they went out of business (very sad — my old roommate used to work there), but Unilocal should have some customer service. I emailed Unilocal,so we’ll see if I get a refund. I’ll repost if I do.
UPDATE****I emailed Unilocal Customer Service and they gladly refunded my $ 40. Now I need to find another spot to get a great facial :)

This place is SUCH A JOKE. Hey Unilocal,maybe you should vet the businesses you choose to feature on your Unilocal deals before sending out offers. I bought an alpha beta for this place, pre-​paid $ 40, and the day of my appointment the owner called me and said they were closing and that he wouldn’t be able to honor my appointment. I want my money back. Seriously, someone, how do I get my money back?

Very cute and homey little spa in the Marina. I’ve been here twice for massages (once after running a half marathon) and once for a haircut with Diana. I was very pleased with all of my experiences here — especially the haircut. I have thick, very straight hair, and Diana managed to cut it into a short, layered, graduated bob very nicely.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!
I live in Seattle and my girlfriend who lives in SF bought me the living social deal for a facial. She planned it perfectly because I was going to visit. I went for my appointment and they couldn’t take me because the facialist was sick. No phone call, nothing.
I wasn’t really upset over that, although a phone call would have been nice. But I have been trying to schedule an appointment with them for the last two weeks!!!
Every single time I call it’s a recording. I have left about 7 messages and NOTHING. What the hell kind of place is this?

Went there for an instant glow micro dermabrasion facial today, a deal that i got from living social. it was a fantastic facial. my face feels so nice, clean and pampered. The staff was great and my therapist was just fabulous. she had such a pleasant personality and made me very comfortable during the facial. I would love to go back again.

If I could give Fabrezia 10 stars, I would! I went today for a massage and left feeling more relaxed than I have in months. Fabrezia was so sweet and so concerned with my comfort.
Thanks, Fabrezia!

I bought the Unilocal deal and it was for a Alpha Beta Facial. I had not had one of these types of facials before but I love adventure so I was excited when the day came for me to use this deal (which happened to be yesterday!). I was 30 minutes early (don’t ask, I have this thing about time) and was first greeted by Carlos. Then minutes later by Enzo (the owner). Enzo was very nice and made sure I was okay. Then I was taken upstairs for my facial with Gabriella.
She was sooooo nice! Very calming and friendly presence. As she was starting the facial, she was very good at (and I appreciate a lot) telling me the steps of what she would be doing. She also told me when some stinging would occur (it wasn’t too bad – it just meant the peel is working it’s magic). While waiting for the peel to dry, she gave a very nice and soothing shoulder massage which was what I needed!
I didn’t know that the facial would only be 25 minutes but actually, it is just what I needed. Sometimes, all the extra stuff like extractions and steam is not needed. This facial was great because it definitely perked me up and made my skin more alive… I would definitely go back and see Gabriella again. She’s very good at what she does! :)

I paid for a facial here, and it lasted 20 minutes. It wasn’t really a massage either, but more like lotion slathering. Not worth the money.

My sister gave me groupon for microdermabrasion facial which was going to expire on Jan 27^th, I believe. So I called to make an appointment about few weeks before it expired. When I called, person who was taking an appointment basically said that it is all booked all the way to 27^th. She asked me why I waited so long to make appointment. And said I should have made an appointment 6 month before, not few weeks before expiration day. When I asked her if they can’t take me in for the treatment, then I would like refund. She said no. She said it is not their problem. How rude was that?
As long as I called them before the expiration date, I should be able to use the coupon, and it is not her business why I did not make appointment 6 month ago!
Anyway, she called few days later and said they decided to open up few more days for those people who didn’t get appointment time.
I gave 4 starts just for the facial part! Before I was not so much fan of facial in general (I don’t like people messing with my face), but the facial I received at Primadona was awsome! I really enjoyed it and truely can recommend it to anybody (except watch out if you have groupon and expiration is getting closer).
My aesthetician told me after care, and gave me some samples!

Got a $ 70 groupon for my first microdermabrasion facial valued at $ 160.
I love a good facial (it’s how I keep my youthful good looks. haha) and this was perhaps one of the best facials I’ve ever had. I was initially scheduled for a date that needed to be changed because the aestheticism was ill. For the inconvenience I received a free eyebrow waxing to boot. Very cool. I feel horrible for not remembering the name of the person that did my facial. I want to say Michelle but she was gentle and thorough.
It helped that she praised my skin (flawless. That sets a tone). and got to work. The microdermabrasion itself didn’t hurt. It was like a very gentle sander that passed over the skin in different direction. Then different cleaning and massaging and unclogging happened over the hour and she advised me on what products I can use and the aftercare for the micro. She gave me a few free samples upon leaving and I was pretty happy.
The space is one of those fancy spas with a receptionist downstairs and products for sale. The spa is upstairs with moody lighting and cushioned seating area. I was happy with the money that I paid for the groupon.

Great facial! One of the best I have had here in Sf.

I went to Primadona for an instant glow facial that i’ve bought on Groupon. I must admit i have been slightly disappointed.
The place is vey nice and the staff is friendly but i felt it did not worth the $ 160 it was advertised for (though i boughtnit for $ 70). Main reason is that the facial hardly lasted for 50 min, after a 10 min wait for the esthetician after she brought me to the room for change…
Overall, facial was nice and worth the discounted price, NOT full price.

I bought a Groupon for a Microdermabrasion Facial with Primadona and after 3 months of sitting on it, I finally went. I have to say it exceeded my expectation.
The spa is cute, clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. My 60 minute facial was executed perfectly leaving my face clean, supple, all my blackheads unclogged, and glowing with radiance. It was the best $ 90 I’ve ever spent. The aesthetician has 15 years experience and she did a great job!
It’s been more than 10 days now since I got my facial and I can still see the lasting effects of it. My skin is still glowing and clean. The best thing I love about this spa is they use very high end skin care products from France on me. The other thing I really appreicate is that they never once push the sales on any products and instead my aesthician gave me a handful of samples products after I told her I was going to do some traveling soon. Now! That’s going above and beyond good services. I will definitely return to Primadona for another facial and I highly recommend this spa!

Expect compleeeeeete relaxation @Primadona. Ask for Sharon. She is awesome!!!
This cute & cozy little spa sits comfortably on the corner of Union & Webster. My gf Carm J. & I didn’t come in on an instant whim. Instead, we booked our appointment a few weeks in advance after finding a cool deal on Living Social. A 60-​minute deep tissue massage for $ 55. What an absolute steal!
The facial & massage services are done upstairs. The ambiance is restfully peaceful– dim lighting, soft music, & comfy lounge seats. The spa was decorated very simple and cute. Staff was extremely personable & attentive. Thank you, Jack & Sharon.
My massage was heavenly. My questionnaire noted my sensitive spot, back issues, sore shoulders & thighs, and the need to de-​stress from a tough past few weeks. Sharon catered to my every need w/​perfection– working minor kinks & using the right amount of firm pressure everywhere. Absolutely wonderful!
Bottom line: What a way to end the work week. I think I may have found my regular masseuse. Sharon, you are it!!!

I used my groupon coupon for a massage with a therapist by the name of Sharon. It was suppose to be a one hour deep tissue massage. Instead I was rubbed and lightly stroked for about 60 minutes (10 minutes was spent rubbing my scalp and hair). I left agitated that I spent good money for a such a disappointing massage.
I too am baffled by the high marks by fellow Unilocalers for this place.

Carlos is the BEST! I travel 50 miles each time to have him work his magic! He is truly a gifted hairdresser who masters perfection. Take a picture for him and he will make it happen. Try him… you will not be sorry!

The hands down best spa I’ve ever been to. I decided for my partner’s birthday to treat him and I to massages. Visiting in San Francisco, I tried finding a good spa, I had called around to a couple for pricing and everything was high. When I called here to ask a couple of questions, I actually got disconnected, but to my surprise, Enzo actually called me back. I had wanted to do a couples massage, but because it was the same day, he wasn’t able to accommodate so we went ahead and did back to back which was just as good. First seeing this location, had I not know the prices already, I would have thought this spa was too expensive for me. They have a lovely quaint little location, that only adds to it’s charm.
Our masseuse was Christopher, who gave me one of the best massages I’ve ever had. And while my boyfriend was getting his massage I was downstairs talking to Enzo, who was so friendly and helpful with information about the city, and seemed like a truly genuine guy.
Whenever I’m in San Francisco, I will make time to return to partake in their services, I’ve already told friends that they must visit here next time they’re in San Francisco, and will spread the word to anyone I know going to visit. This is a must for anyone looking for a massage in the City.
Thanks to Enzo and Christopher for this awesome experience. Best of luck and I’ll see you next time!

Carlos is great. He’s talented, very sweet and will soon be likely impossible to get time with! Get in while you still can…
