Ive been seeing Mahru for almost two years now and shes completely transformed my skin. She stays on top of the different facials that might work best for my concerns and makes sure that when we do product inventory im only purchasing what I need at the time. I never feel any pressure to buy and shes always incredibly knowledgeable on how to best treat my skin concerns.I originally went in for acne, texture and generally keeping a glow for dull skin and she has without a doubt helped me reach all my goals and helped me SUSTAIN them. Would 100% recommend going to her and getting a custom facial to evaluate your needs :)
A friend of mine recommended Spa Radiance 9 years ago after seeing how frustrated I was with the way my skin looked while being treated at another well know Spa in the city.I saw Angelina, and after experiencing my first facial treatment I knew I had found the right place! I received a detailed and customized lesson on my new skin care routine, with each step explained very clearly. It has been 9 years and I still cannot believe how much better my skin looked just within the first six months! To top it off people often comment that I look much younger than my age! Needless to say that feels like heaven to me.Besides the red carpet facial, with my all time favorite esthetician Angelina, I have tried many treatments they offer and know most of the amazing and experienced nurses that work there. For my monthly routine, I choose the super duper facial, followed by a non surgical mini-lift and brow maintenance. Four to five times a year, I go for treatments such as lasers, micro needling or photo facials which are fantastic to help increase collagen production as well as add a wonderful glow to my skin.Most recently, I discovered the benefits of the LED bed therapy which leaves the entire skin of my body soft and silky, and is the most relaxed twenty-minute experience that anyone can have. My college aged daughters are also clients and get their facials from Anastasia, who is very experienced, talented and caring. We all buy our customized skin products there especially our daily sunscreen!The Spa itself is gorgeous and their staff is very friendly. Everybody knows me by my first name and makes me feel as if I’m part of a big family. I give Spa Radiance five stars and so will you!
I’ve been a client of Spa Radiance since they opened in 1997. I’ve had the most amazing skin treatments over the years. The spa is always cutting edge—the owner, Angelina, is always researching new techniques and products. I now spend part of my time on the east coast but only come here for my skin care. Everyone there is truly an expert in all different types of skin conditions, and I’ve always walked out feeling as if my skin has truly benefited from whatever treatment I’ve had. I can’t recommend Spa Radiance enough!!
I almost never leave reviews, but this one of Spa Radiance far overdue. Simply put, I love this place! I have been getting facials, photo facials, massages and medical treatments for years here. Because of the busy schedule I normally just book with whomever is available - all their estheticians are top notch. For medical treatments I usually go to Judy. Always follow her advice and never feel pushed, because of her, people never believe my age.Last week I had a Super Duper facial with Angelina and it exceeded all of my expectations. She is a serious pro, has the best hands in town and truly cares about her clients.I often take my friends for a treat when they are in town visiting, and I m starting to think that now they come to visit me just to go to Spa Radiance! Thank you, Angelina, and Spa Radiance!
I absolutely love Spa Radiance! I recently got a facial with Holly and she was so good, she is very sweet and makes you feel comfortable with asking questions if you are not familiarized with professional skin care. She will leave your skin glowing and if you are a fan of hard wax shes your girl! On the medical side of the spa, I can honestly say their nurses are amazing, I do my laser hair removal here and I am so happy with the results.
This spa and Stephanie, who gave me my facial, are AMAZING! Right when you walk in you feel relaxed and are welcomed so nicely! Stephanie was extremely thorough, customized the treatment for me and gave me the best facial massage Ive ever received!!
Spa radiance was incredible. I had the most amazing experience in every aspect. I had an incredible facial with great results with ivy she was amazing!! my skin looked very smooth and with a glow! I have also used the LED bed cause I’m a Fitness instructor and I felt with great energy after words I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for great results staff is super nice and very polite.
Angelina is amazing! I’ve been going to her for years and she finally convinced me to get her special lifting facial series. I’m a woman of a certain age and I can honestly say my skin has never looked better. I wish I would’ve listened to her sooner! My teen girls also go to Spa Radiance and see Anatasia. She has helped clear up their hormonal acne. Their skin is literally glowing after her facials. I love Spa Radiance!
I started seeing Mahru a little under a year ago and she completely changed my skin. A combination of her helping me pick the right products, at the right cadence and with the right treatments, I can say ive never been happier.For context, Ive been to MANY spas / facialists over the past years. All of them helped my skin a little bit but no one really transformed it. My pores are smaller, I break out less, my texture is better, my skin is brighter. I transitioned over to all biologique recherche products (started slowly to actually see if they made a difference) and I will NEVER go back. I do microchanneling with Mahru every six weeks as well and that has been extremely helpful in fading dark spots / improving firmness and texture of my skin.Mahru is extremely knowledgeable, doesnt try to sell you and is overall really nice to visit with! She helped me understand which products would be best for my concerns, slowly added them to my routine, and only transitions me to something new once Ive finished the product. The entire Spa Radiance team is really accommodating and I cant recommend stopping by to visit Mahru enough.
Spa Radiance is my favorite place to visit.I have been a client for 25 years. I’m used to great facials, but today Angelina gave me one of my favorite treatments quadruple lift. I have ever had quadruple lift facial before. I literally look younger. I’m so happy. Thank you !!! Also, loved my foot massage at the same time as the facial 👏👍
I’ve been obsessed with facials and skincare for as long as I can remember, and have tried many different spas across the country. I have to say, Spa Radiance is the by far the best! I’ve had facials with several of the aestheticians here and each have been phenomenal. The products and technology are top notch, and the team helped get my skin wedding ready with frequent LED and oxygen facials. Even when times are tough during the current crisis, Spa Radiance still shines. I had a virtual consultation today with skin goddess Angelina who taught me new face washing & masque techniques. We actually masqued together! I am excited to try the products she recommended (everything Biologique Recerche makes is gold), and can’t wait for my next facial. Thanks to the whole Spa Radiance team! ✨✨
Walked in to the spa and was immediately greeted by a friendly receptionist who kindly showed me to the beautiful waiting lounge. I was promptly picked up by my esthetician, who took the time to understand my exact concerns and customize a facial that met my specific skin needs. I left with a glow Ive never seen before! My skin felt so well nourished and revitalized! Overall, a wonderful experience. And bonus points for the chocolate almonds!
I can’t say enough about the level of expertise and customized attention I have received over the 10 years that I have been a client at Spa Radiance. The owner, Angelina Umansky’s expertise has help me manage all kinds of skin issues that we all experience as we age and in 10 years there have been many changes to manage! Anytime I read of a new product or a new technology or technique I’m usually already familiar with the product thanks to the constant innovation driven by Angelina and her staff.I have tried spas in other parts of California, NY , Europe and the Caribbean and Spa Radiance remains at the top of the list. Whenever I go to a different location the Estheticians always compliment my skin and the treatments that I am receiving. The beds are heavenly, the ambiance is soothing and relaxing and most importantly, you can get almost any treatment you can imagine under the sun!It’s a testament to the quality of service offered when you see that the staff is extremely well informed and educated about the products and the treatments offered. There have been plenty of times where I’ve stopped in and asked the girls at the front desk about a product I needed to buy and if they could remind me how to use it- they know them all. I also appreciate that they have an incredible range of products which also come with a great range in price points.They are very busy but if you can get in, you will see that you are in the best of hands. The ambiance, the attention to detail and the expertise truly are the very top of the line. It’s a pleasure to be able to escape to this gem of a hideway.
My first facial here was great but my neck broke out in a rash the following day. They gave me a free LED treatment and sent me home with an amazing balm that helped. The rash went away after a couple days.I decided to give it another go because the part that wasnt a rash looked great. When I arrived they didnt have my appointment in their books, despite me confirming via email and text. The women at the front desk were very apologetic and offered me another free LED treatment.Unfortunately both my experiences with Spa Radiance have had issues despite them being highly recommended.
I love Spa Radiance. I came here for laser hair removal with Stephanie and shes the best. She is very knowledgeable and very professional. Probably a little more expensive than other places to get hair removal but If you are looking to be treated like a queen in a very clean spa this is definitely the place to visit.
This place is DIVINE!!! Hands down best spa in SF/Bay Area. The estheticians are extremely knowledgeable, the staff is catering and friendly and the owner is awesome! The spa is GORGEOUS and uber relaxing. The LED facial is a GAME CHANGER!I also had the pleasure of getting my makeup done by Ashley Frost for my roller disco themed birthday party. Ashley is by far the BEST makeup artist I have ever worked with. Professional, creative and just pure genius!! If you ever have a big event, clear your schedule prior and go see Ashley for your makeup. It will be worth every penny!!! :)ADORE THIS SPA!!!
My aesthetician Mahroo at Spa Radiance is my secret weapon! Most people mistake me for a much younger woman -- accomplished without a single needle -- and I owe a large part of that to Mahroos talents. She knows how to diagnose exactly what your skin needs, and tailors a facial treatment specifically for you. She will advise you about skincare products and the best way to take care of your particular skin needs. And, best of all, she’s an absolute delight to work with.Mahroo, and the entire staff at Spa Radiance are wonderful -- friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, courteous, and, quite frankly, feel like family. Ive been a loyal customer for 16+ years, and cant imagine ever going anywhere else for my skincare needs.
Mahroo was THE best esthetician I have ever had and I have had many facials in many different cities across the US and a handful abroad. She’s extremely knowledgeable, professional, and can pinpoint and understand exactly how to work with the skin you’ve been given. She’s also kind and puts you in a deep state of relaxation.
Number 1 skincare and massage treatment spa in the Bay Area. Being a spa conasouer I find myself being very picky and who doesnt want the best when it comes to your skin and body?! Medical treatments with Judy and Laura who are fonominal at what they do Ive only gotten the best results from their recommendations and treatments. Skin care Ive seen Christina and lindsey who have made all the difference in my skin. I have suffered from acne and acne scars for years, thanks to Christina I feel so much more confident in my skin! Make up Riss and Ashly are the best around! I find myself really trusting the spa radiance family and could not recommend them enough! You will be so happy!
My daughter treated me to a massage for my Birthday. This was the perfect place to be relaxed. My massage therapist Onaka was very attentive to my needs and took her time to focus on specific areas. I left there feeling like a million bucks. The ambiance and service is right up the there with the best spas in San Francisco.
Ive booked online on 12/23 an oxygen treatment facial - 60 min with Natalie, since she was the only one available. This was my 2nd facial at this spa.My first experience was with Yolanda (which Ive just heard that left the spa) for the same type of facial. Yolandas treatment was awesome and did exactly what the description on the web was, plus more, and explained even single step of the process, not only working with me the entire time but also spending few more min.First, Natalie asked if I want extractions. I was quite surprise since in the 60 min rejuvenating oxygen facial on the web is included the extraction step. Also when I had the facial with Yolanda this was included in 60 min. When I said yes, Natalie said that I need to go to DeLuxe option 75 min since the 60min does not included extractions. Very surprised of this but Ive agreed!Literately, Natalie spent with only 3 min doing extractions, even though Ive asked her if I need any. Before agreeing with DeLuxe option, I should have asked her then why its not included but I didnt feel going into an argument and wanted to have a relaxing feeling.The entire DeLuxe facial was only 62 min to be exact although I needed to pay for 75min. During this time also Natalie left for 10 min to take care of some stuff -:). Here are my points for the spa owners and the people who are reading this:1. If you charge someone for 75 min - then you should spend the entire time working on their facial other than leaving for 10 min and finishing earlier with ~10 min. Basically I was deprived of 20 min from my facial although I needed to pay for the DeLuxe option.2. Make sure that person provides the service which actually does what its explained on web. In my case the extractions were included but told they are not. If you opt for the Deluxe option, following cleansing and extractions, your skin will be treated to enzymes.3. My skin was very red after I left and felt even itchy. I came home and I could not believe that Ive spent $182 and my skin looked worse than before I came in - spotted and red.I was annoyed of spending $182, an having such a bad experience.4. It would be nice that person providing the service to also explain what they are doing and what products they are using but this is only after 1-3 are met. In case of Natalie I had no idea what she was doing only when she let for 10 min to take care of some stuffI would NOT recommend this service to anyone given that this spa is consider high-end.Im also NOT recommending Natalie for your service.I wont come here. This is for sure, unless things gets addressed.
Love this spa! Ive been going to spa radiance for over 10 years, and Ive always experienced nothing but the best service every time ....Maroo is my my all time favorite!! She always gives me the best facials and is very professional and caring. I always walk away with a beautiful glow.Thanks,BE
The receptionist is extremely rude, unprofessional and hangs up on customers that need to reschedule their appointments due to family emergencies. I got a facial as a gift for my girlfriend who ended up spraining her ankle on her birthday and I asked to reschedule. She made the process horrible and even went to so far to ask for a doctors note for validity. She said she would need to verify with her manager if they could change or charge me a cancellation fee. She never called me back to confirm either way. I was charged 75$ fee without being informed. When I called to ask why, she said her Manager authorized it so they just charged me. There are a several fancy spas in SF to spend your money that are better, more luxurious, and have incredible customer service - and, customer service is everything.
I struggled with very stubborn rosacea for years until Spa Radiances miracle workers laid hands on my skin! This spa is just unparalled in experienced staff and technical resources, boasting a wide range of medical and aesthetic services ready to be performed by skilled and experienced professionals whos primary goal is to deliver results. Not to mention the absolute candy store of products that would bring any skincare lover to their knees! Without a doubt, my go-to pick me up for all things skin related.
This place is so relaxing and welcoming from start to finish. Ive experienced both the medical & day spa treatments. Nurse Stephani was very informative and knowledgeable about the treatment I wanted and my facial from Holly left my skin glowing!!
Ive been going here for a few years now for my skin. Their facialists are very talented, and since renovating theyre rooms have been way nicer.The reason for my negative review - and the reason that I am looking for a new place - is two-fold: first, the staff at the front desk. When I first started going there, they were great (see reviews below from three years ago). Now, they are all new girls and are incredibly difficult to deal with (for example, this morning I had someone answer the phone yeah? instead of this is spa radiance, my name is ___, how can I help you?). It consistently feels when I call that they are doing me a favor by helping me to book an appointment. And they place people on hold for very long periods of time. Its not a club, its not a hot restaurant - its a place where people go to feel good, so I have no idea why they feel justified making the experience so unpleasant. With all of the wonderful places in SF, I just cant justify patronizing a place where, yes, the facialists are great, but the customer service is so out of control.The second reason isnt a deal-breaker, but I have never had an appointment here where they havent tried to both upsell my service and get me to buy expensive products (even when I explicitly say that Im not looking to purchase anything). I come in about one per month, and Ive even had the same facialist tell me that the moisturizer that I purchased from her (she had forgotten) was ineffective and I should purchase a different one from her.
$3000, fillers and botox - main issues not addressed, front desk lacks maturity and very basic knowledge of span of services, yet alone customer service, very poor internal communications. Partuculary if you are over 40 and sensitive to your aging issues you wont feel taken care of by the very young unprofessional unknowledgeable staff who schedule you for appointment to assess services rendered that you were unsatisfied with, then with scheduled appointment very awkwardly tell you no one is available...and subsequently schedule you for another appointment you are unaware of after youve told them how dissatisfied you are and that you are unhappy and not coming back...!!!? Ive never had a vendor not honor their appointment without notification, nor experienced such both stange behind the scene and treated with such awkwardness. Not the kind of treatment anyone should receive regardless of spending close to $3000 for an initial treatment medical. Shame on Spa Radiance Medical.
My skin has fundamentally changed since I discovered the magic that is Spa Radiance. Knowledgeable and always welcoming staff deliver expert guidance, treatment, and great recommendations for my skin.
If you want to go to a REAL professional esthetician, then go here. Angelina & Galina Umansky are pioneers in their industry. I used to work here when I was 25 and I couldnt believe how on point they were. Im not 35 and would still highly recommend their services. Parking sucks on Fillmore but you can find parking if you go early in the morning or park in the residential cuts of the surrounding neighborhoods. Yes, its in the Marina and the prices are high but your skin will look amazeballs.
Ashley is the bomb! For eyebrows and anything else you need. He is an amazing esthetician and person. Everyone else at Spa Radiance is great too but I loves me some Ashley brows!
This spa is first-rate. The quality of the service is unparalleled and the owner/lead aesthetician has amazing knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail. I have sent my friends and family here for gifts and they always rave over the experience.
Amazing, wonderful, warm, helpful people that really know their stuff. One of the best facials I have ever had and Angelinas product recommendations changed my skin and my life.
First class experience from start to finish. It is such a pleasure to be seen by real professionals who arent afraid to tackle tough, chronic issues like Rosacea, dry skin. The treatment regime worked wonders and I love my skin now. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
Thank you Julie for making feel brand new. You are always calming, attentive and professional. I trust you 110% with doing injections and appreciate your honesty and integrity.
Love the staff here. Everyone is super friendly and attentive. Very informative and honest. Didn’t try to oversell or talk me into anything I hadn’t had planned already but took their time to answer all my questions and discuss everything before starting. Would 100% recommend
Great place. Awesome massage and skin treatments. I highly recommend spa radiance for massages, facials, and spa treatment. Wonderful experience. Best spa in San francisco.
I’ve tried so hard to like this place but it is not worth the hype - especially compared to all the luxurious spas here in SF and the Bay Area that have incredible service and amenities. Not to mention, the staff is entitled and super rude. I would not recommend ladies!
I love Spa Radiance. Professional staff and so much knowledge. My skin is healed and glowing.
Amazing Facial! My face looked clean clear and glowing afterwards, and it was a very relaxing and enoyable experience! I would absolutely recommend it!
Wonderful massages, all the therapists are experienced and knowledgeable. Highly recommended
My friend went here and she ended up breaking out horribly because the idiots didnt bother to take her makeup off....WASTE OF MONEYUNSANITARY!
Theyre the best! I am 100% loyal to Spa Radiance.
Amazing staff and wonderful surroundings....their treatments are outstanding
Horrible customer service. Never coming back
The service at the spa is very good. From the moment I booked the service via Facebook, the staff responded and called immediately. The customer service staff is very good and polite, respecting customers. By the time I opened the door and entered the spa, the consultant came out to greet me by name, proving that they care very much about each individual customer.
Super organic looking facial
