Love love love her!!! Had my first facial ever today and it was an amazing experience. Sara is not only an absolute expert at what she does, she is also one of the sweetest people I have ever met. Definitely going to be a regular client from now on. Highly recommend her!!!

Couldn’t recommend Sara or SKIN more. Sara is knowledgable, thorough, and kind. I always leave feeling rejuvenated and with glowing and clean skin. And unlike other facials I’ve had elsewhere, I can always go out after(no hibernation period necessary). And best of all, SKIN is very reasonable. What’s better than that?

As a returning client, I’m very grateful to have the opportunity to see Sara again… all for the benefits of healthy, glowing, clear skin and great company! In the absence of Sara, I had varying symptoms of acne, dryness, oilier t-zone, clogged pores, dehydration, blotchy and dark spots, all waging war against one another; severely imbalanced. At this point, she’s a necessity! She graciously welcomed me back and painlessly extracted what felt like 10 pounds of impurities off my face. The rest of the treatment was a whole lotta loving, as always! I admire, Sara, for her passion, knowledge and integrity for skin. She’s open to questions and truly helps me understand the cause and effects of skin dilemmas. She’s provided me with sensible suggestions, which leaves me feeling that she is out for my best interest. I cherish!

Sara is absolutely amazing — her facials are extremely thorough and rejuvenating and my skin has never looked better! She also has immense integrity and does not ever needlessly push products or extra services. And her online booking option is super efficient and very user friendly. Sara is always on time, kind and dependable and has a wonderful personality — It’s always a pleasure to see her and receive her expert care. I can’t recommend her highly enough– she is definitely one of the absolute best facialists in Los Angeles!

Sara is absolutely the best. I have been seeing Sara for many years(I maybe one of her first clients) and I am so grateful that I have met her. She is so incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. She knows everything about skin and skincare products and I love the products she recommends. Besides being one of the best aestheticians, she is one of the most genuine and kind hearted people I have ever met and I always look so much forward to my facials with her. I highly recommend Sara at «Skin» in Santa Monica for an amazing experience. Thank you Sara for your wonderful work. :)

My skin has always been a concern for me and finding Sara was such a gift as my skin has never looked better! Her skin is absolutely radiant so I knew I was in the right place. I love that she tailors her facials to each specific client and I trust what she believes is good for my skin each time I see her. I also love the products she sells, and use them morning and night. Often people can’t believe my age as my skin looks so good :) Thanks, Sara!

I found Sara 8 years ago when I was pregnant with my first child and had horrible pregnancy acne. She nursed me through the pregnancy acne and I never looked back. Sara is absolutely incredible. She knows everything about skin and skincare products. What I love the most is that she thinks about skin conditions in a holistic way and uses organic and natural product with the environment in mind. Love love love, I cannot recommend highly enough.

I’ve been seeing Sara for several years, and though I’ve gone a couple other places with a groupon or a gift certificate, I always end up back with Sara. She knows so much about skin care and products but never ever pushes product sales or extra services(which drives me crazy about most places I’ve gone) Moreover, Sara is a genuinely nice person who loves what she does.

Look no further. You have found the best aesthetician on the West Coast! Sara should have a PHD in skin care. She really knows her stuff and your skin will look amazing. She carries the best products and really cares about all her clients. Always such a pleasure to be with Sara.

If I could make this a 12 I would! SKIN is The Most FABULOUS facial experience I’ve ever had in my life! I’m so grateful I found out about Sara!!! I happened to see a woman with beautiful skin and when I commented about how pretty it was, she told me about SKIN and said she goes there religiously for her facials. I booked an appointment right away and had an incredible experience. From beginning to peaceful end the entire appointment was amazing. I can’t wait to go back; I’m booking my next appointment today! You won’t believe how good your skin can look!!! XOXO Sara!!!

Sara’s facials are the BEST!!! I always feel so refreshed when I leave after a facial with her. She knows all the latest skin health techniques and has really fabulous products too. She makes you feel comfortable and talks you through everything she will be doing to your skin. She also tells you how each product will affect your skin. I always leave feeling like my skin is changing for the better. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Sara is so knowledgeable and great. She takes her time to explain all of the treatments to you and is so informed about different products and their ingredients. I always leave my facials feeling great and have loved every product she’s ever recommended!

I love Unilocal, but I am not a frequent review writer. But I had to take a moment to review Sara Turbeville at SKIN in Santa Monica. Five stars, hands down, for the most effective facial ever. I’ve spent tons of money over the years on ineffective spa facials and products that never seemed to have a lasting impact on my skin. SKIN is the best value-for-effectiveness I have EVER come across. I read about Sara in Allure magazine and started going for facials about a year ago. At the time, I had pigmentation and breakout issues — I was self conscious about my complexion. A year later, I have seen dramatic improvements in the clarity and consistency of my complexion. The before/after is unbelievable. Sara is attentive and passionate about what she does; her facials are always custom and specific to my needs. I’ve recommended her to friends and family. She is worth checking out! Thanks, Sara, for your awesome work

I was referred to Sara a few years ago from a friend who knew I was battling a newly diagnosed Rosacea condition. I had literally tried everything under the sun, including visits to two separate dermatologists and more prescriptions than I can remember. Sara spent an hour and a half assessing my skin, educating me about the condition, and performing a facial specific to my condition which included a custom cocktail for my mask — which is something she specializes in. Each facial/treatment is customized to the client and their skin’s needs. I’ve never met anyone so incredibly knowledgeable! She also has a very sweet, kind and gentle demeanor which makes you feel immediately comfortable. She really took an interest in helping me figure out my Rosacea problem and the best plan of attack for treatment. Sara understands how skin problems can affect your self esteem. She believes that if you feel good about yourself on the outside, it helps bring out your inner beauty. To top it off, I was shocked that when I rose up out of the facial bed and looked in the mirror, there was very little redness considering the amount of extractions she did! She even applied a light foundation, so that I was able to run a few errands afterward. It’s been almost three years now and my Rosacea is completely under control. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve had a flare up(stress is always the culprit) and when I do, I call Sara immediately and she tames it. I’ve referred countless friends to Sara and they all sing her praises just like I do. Best aesthetician in Los Angeles, hands down!
