Now that's a professional

by eilleenthequeen

This was my first Brazilian wax and Rose was excellent! She did a high quality job while keeping me at ease. I actually had a good time (as much fun as you can have while yanking out hair). She was very professional and the whoe experience was great.

Also, I like that she sells jewelry made by local artists in her lobby. Yeah; help out the little man!

• Pros: Personalable service, private environment
• Cons: none come to mind

Brilliant and yet personable professional service

by qstar888

I have been going to Rose for a little under a year now and she is nothing short of brilliant. She has mastered her trade and has a wealth of knowledge that she is so open about sharing. Any skin-related question she can answer or she'll research it and get back to you. It is this sort of personalized service that is so rare and that puts her head and shoulders above any others!

I have asked her about psoriasis for friends and she's helped. I have pampered my mom with her facials that leave you glowing when you leave. And my mom absolutely loved the experience and can't wait to go back!

Before she ever touched my skin she examined it and we talked at length about the history of my skin and the products I've used, when do I get flare ups, etc. Rose explained every detail and answered every question. I was apprehensive about letting go of my salycilic and glycolic-based products that controlled my acne, but left my skin looking worn out. The 302 products were in the same price range and required a less intensive regimen, but I wasn't completely sold. I opted to try it figuring I could always go back to my old regimen if this didn't work out.

Now after all these months, I can literally just put on some lip gloss on and walk out the door without makeup. No acne and the old scars are wearing out well! My sister has the same acne issues and is already looking forward to getting on a 302 regimen to calm her skin.

Then there are the waxes that are just meticulous. :)

Anyone who is lucky enough to be Rose's client is fortunate!

• Pros: the service!!

An Esthetician Worth a million Bucks!

by AseniaB

In a few short words, Rose's skin care treatments provide real, visible results after just a few treatments. (She provides authentic before & after polaroid pictures for proof) Now, I can honestly say I'm a skin care junkie.

So it started like this.

Last year I was on Pele Fina's skin care waiting list for 2 months before I got to see Rose. For a long minute, I was under the impression that my name was lost in the trenches. Finally, I received a call from Rose and all went up hill from there.

Her studio is eclectic and ethnic with a modern twist. The receptionist desk is made of material from a local Habitat for Humanity Store. I thought that was very cool! Her place is so relaxing, just thinking about it makes me want to go back as I type!

She is very articulate, precise and beauty industry savvy. She was able to answer all of my questions without fumbling through books, or pretending like she had all the answers. (like some other estheticians in Modesto who are nice to you because they want to sell you tons products).

Rose never once pressured me into buying anything from her shelf. She simply said in kind words, "This is what I can do for you, this is what i will use, follow my instructions and you'll get satisfying results."

Curious as to which service I love the most?

Try her 302 LED photo facial. It's a great start for women who need a jump start to really good looking skin. Each time I get this facial (once per month...shhh....I also alternate with another one of her services called 302 Ultrasound) I feel and look 10 years younger. Ok maybe not 10 years but definitely 5-7 years younger. (So my husband says!)

Ask to see her collection of before and after pictures, you might come across my mug shots!

Thank you so much Rose,

My husband loves what you do for me!

• Pros: Provides Facials with visual results, very relaxing, San Francisco Style Service.
