I made an appointment with Laurie for a waxing (chest, tummy and back). She was very thorough and easily waxed those areas with great attention and care. It is especially tender just below the throat area and I get very little discomfort. Laurie is very down to Earth and is a true conversationalist too. I appreciate her fitting me into her schedule at the last minute. The location was remodeled and very clean. She offers Dermatolica skin care products. Mahalo to Skin Care by Laurie!

I've been a client of Laurie's for almost 30 years. I've had waxing done at several establishments, but I have to confess that Laurie is the best when it comes to waxing. She get's the waxing done in a fast efficient manner and is very meticulous when it comes to appearance. Laurie also does an amazing job on eyebrows, legs, underarms. You won't be disappointed if you have Laurie do any waxing.

Just wanted to thank you for the fabulous facial experience. My wife thinks I look years younger now. The Daily Facial Scrub you recommended is working great. Definitely will be seeing me again!

I have been going to Laurie since I was in high school and she the greatest. I love the chemical peels because they help with my hyper pigmentation and acne. They have absolutely helped with lightening my dark spots and balancing out my skin tone overall. I have been to other esthetician's to get chemical peels and there is no comparison. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my face.

Her facials are also amazing. The entire experience is relaxing and the extractions are great for getting all the bacteria out from under the skin. After you're done your skin is like silk.

I was referred to Laurie by a friend who has been seeing Laurie for 15 years. The main reason I started going to Laurie is for her PCA peels. My friend swears by them. I have a lot of discoloration due to Acne scars and I also suffer from adult acne. After my initial facial Laurie set me up with my chemical peel appointment. I was nervous to say the least. It's been 4 weeks since my chemical peel and my skin has improved tremendously.

I haven't had 1 breakout since my peel and my skin is so much brighter. I can't wait to see what the results are from getting the rest of my peels. I just did my second one yesterday and plan on doing at least 1 or 2 more. Just depends on my results. I'm so excited that I met Laurie and she's always so enthusiastic to see my results. I love that I can text/call her at anytime with questions. She's amazing!

I believe that you should leave a facial feeling like you have been pampered and I definitely did not leave feeling that way. Her facial did not even include any massage. I really do not need much in the way of extractions, but I don't think she did a very thorough job on extractions. She talked way too much and she seemed so desperate to prove that she was an expert on skin care.

She spent the entire time telling me that everything I do is all wrong and all the products I use are all wrong, but if that were true then I would think that I would have skin problems, which I do not. She tried to push her products on me. She was just so generally negative: When I told her I use the Clarisonic skincare brush, she said really sarcastically/ negatively, "Well, I hope you are not dragging it across your face and tugging your skin with it." Just negative. Additionally, she told me that she was suffering financial difficulty because she has to take care of her sick husband.

I did not think it was appropriate for her to tell me about her personal problems. I mean, we all have problems, I have problems too, but that is what friends are for -- I don't dump my problems on people I don't even know. I will not go back and I would not recommend her. You can see that this is the first time I have ever written a negative Yelp review on anyone.

I could give 0 star if I can! this is the worst service I ever get, she gave me attitude after even hurt my eye brow for the waxing. Plus she is super hard sell on products! Don't come!

Tried to make appt, unfortunately it was last minute. Left a message and Laurie called me back herself. Although she was not available the day I requested, she was quite professional and her explanation was in a friendly manner. I would book with Laurie because she took the time to return my call and her customer service skill was, awesome, which is very much appreciated! Customer Service is #1.

First time getting a facial today and so glad my wife took me to Laurie. My wife has been going to Laurie for close to two years. What a great experience. I'll for sure be back.

Thank you for a great facial Laurie! Awesome extractions, left me looking clear without being painful or leaving my skin looking marked for days. Her place is clean and comfortable and she really gets down to what each individual needs for their facials. As someone who has suffered from acne too far into adulthood, I know facials! I loved my treatment and I am definitely going back!

Omg! I'm amazed.today was my very first time getting a facial and I can't imagine getting a facial anywhere else. I felt a little nervous because I have very sensitive skin and anything new I try makes me break out. But after I got there I knew Laurie knew what she was doing. She took the time and asked a lot of questions about what I use on my skin on a daily basis.

After that we got started on my facial and she explained everything step by step. This was THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! Laurie is one of the sweetest most passionate person I've ever met! I can't wait for my next facial!

Laurie is awesome! So I was referred to her from a loyal client who like the other yelpers, highly recommended her facials. I've seen Laurie 3 times now (twice for the chemical peel) and I'm loving the results. She explains every process in detail and spends the time to educate her clients on skincare which I think most people appreciate. I also love that she is so passionate about what she does.

I love getting facials and have been to many salons. I think Laurie is one of the if not the best esthetician that has worked on my skin. She is very knowledgeable, takes her time, and recommends products that will help improve your skin. I will def be going back

I'm having problems with adult acne before I met Laurie. I'm also under treatment with different dermatologists for over 3 years now.and almost always end up with unhappy results, even if I undergo facial treatments every month with different spas. I'm so glad I met her, because Laurie was able to make a personal regimen for me while under acne medications. She's been my aesthetician for almost a year now and I'm very happy with the results.

I love my skin now. Continuous maintenance is also a key to good skin. The first time I met Laurie, I'm instantly comfortable with her. She also has never-ending stories that also made me relax during treatment. I brought my husband to her for his first time facial treatment ever, and he loved it! He said that Laurie made him comfortable and he wants to come again for another treatment.that coming from a man who has never heard and experience extractions, is unbelievable. Try her and see for yourself =

Just a heads up, SKIN CARE BY LAURIE HAS MOVED! 23038 Crenshaw Blvd I have been seeing Laurie as my skin care specialist for the past few months and already I have seen great results! She not only gives you noticeable results, she educates you as well. I love the kind of loyalty and genuine relationship that I can have with someone who is a part of something so intimate, your body, face, and self image. I am looking forward to the long term results and friendship with her!

I've been going to Laurie for a few years now and will continue to see her. She is very thorough and I always leave refreshed and rejuvenated. She and Rob run a very professional business and they both always have your best interest at heart. I won't get a facial anywhere else.

Laurie and Rob are the best! I've been going there for years and I always leave feeling happier, and relaxed. I've visited many other spas and Laurie's is by far my favorite. The personalized attention they give all of their clients is what makes this place so wonderful. Laurie knows her stuff when it comes to skincare and she creates a soothing place to escape the stresses of the daily grind.

Both Robert and Laurie get to know their clients, and when my husband goes there for gift certs, Robert greets him by name and always asks how our daughters are. This kind of customer service surprised my husband, but is standard here (and my husband has never gone there as a client! Great memory Rob!) Try her out, you'll be hooked.

I went in to Laurie today after a friend referred me and I read reviews on Yelp. I've been to every day spa and esthetician in Southern California (almost) and she was by far the best. From the minute I walked in, she sat down with me and talked to me about skin (and my mild adult acne- Ugh). Her extractions work was the best. I've never had anyone extract like she does.

Not painful either. Had waxing done, was great at that too. She really cares. She's been in business 20+ years and knows her stuff. Very kind and knowledgeable. Large space that was not cluttered with a bunch of crap like some local places. Much attention to detail paid here. The place was clean, she didn't try to sell me products, in fact, she gave me lots of samples and recommendations. I already made my next appt. I left there GLOWING!

I went in for a facial and came out a new woman : Great spa treatment, great staff, ask for their South American Tea at the end. I love the products as well. I am going back for sure.
