Institut De Beaute

Nadya is a magician!!! I cannot say enough good things about her and the impact she has had on my self confidence and skin over the past couple of months.
I had been seriously struggling with my skin and had been receiving facials regularly at a couple of different places that only seemed to be making things worse. I went to Nadya when I moved to the bay area in the summer and was so impressed by her willingness to cater treatments to meet the exact needs of my skin. She is incredibly knowledgeable about skin types and her products and asks lots of questions to ensure that she understands each case. But even more importantly, she cares tremendously about each of her clients and is passionate about helping them. She would spend extra time on my facials because I needed the extra attention and would inform me on how to care for it in the hours after the facial and time in between sessions. She offers incredible products but never pushes them. Within a few visits, my skin was 100 times better. Because she is so reasonable, I can afford to see her monthly and her warm demeanor and light is always such a treat. I would recommend her to anyone!

Nadyas’ facials are the best! She is attentive, diligent and never rushes her clients. Nadya is very professional. She uses organic skin care products and ensures the products match perfectly with a skin type. Her office is immaculate and conveniently located. Can’t recommend her highly enough!

Nadya is a dream. I’ve been going to her for over a year and my skin is definitely happier (and prettier) for it. She has really helpful product suggestions — I’m finally using eye cream like I should be – but isn’t at all pushy about it. I asked her for suggestions on extra services or products to prepare for my wedding day (which was a huge opportunity for an upsell) and she told me to just keep doing exactly what I’m doing and didn’t try to sell me on a thing. Such a nice and talented person.

I’m sorry, Nadya, for taking so long to write this review!
I LOVE these facials… I don’t usually buy into beauty treatments, but if you want to get your skin back into a healthy state, go for a tune-​up with Nadya. She’s thorough, super friendly, yet professional.
I have acne prone skin, and after seeing her for a facial, people were stopping me in the street, complimenting me on my glowing skin. If that ain’t a testament to her magic with my complexion, I don’t know what is!
I suggest going in every 2 or 3 months for a deep cleansing facial. She does european-​style facials, so be ready for some intense extraction, but it’s SO worth it. After my initial session, she suggested an easy to follow skin care regimen that has saved me so much time fussing in front of the mirror!
I highly recommend her! I’ve been pointing my friends in her direction– feel like a clucking hen, the way I talk about Nayda :)
Thumbs up!

I’m not sure where to start with Nadya’s facials — they are the best! I moved back to the bay area a year ago and she was the first person I wanted to see. I went to here on a regular basis for years in the early 90’s and no other facial every compared to the detailed treatment she offers. I not only LOVE the caring and knowledge she has but her warmth — it’s like coming home.

I’m very particular about my skin. I’ve tried many different salons for facials (including MedSpa in SF). I’ve fallen in love with Nadya’s facial. She spends a lot of time on extractions and gives high-​frequency treatment. This ensures that you do not «break out» after a facial. Highly recommended!

I love a good facial, one that leaves my pores glowing for weeks to come and I think I’ve found a true San Francisco gem in Nadya! She is so thorough, explains everything she’s doing, is professional, courteous and has a warm presence.
Personally, I like a facial that gets down to business — no extra products, sales pitches or excessive energy work. If this sounds good to you too, Nadya is worth a try. She provides the perfect combination of relaxing and effective skin treatments along with realistic advice and recommendations.
I also found her to be extremely affordable in comparison to other salons, and she’s a one-​woman show to boot. Just $ 95 for a basic european facial! Highly recommended indeed.

If you are looking for the best facial in San Francisco, this is it. First of all, my whole family has been going to Nadya for years. She is the owner of the business, and the only aesthetician. You will not be disappointed with her work. Nadya is full of information about what to do with my skin, which has been very helpful as my skin has changed a lot over the years. She is so very thorough, and she uses excellent products, including Eminence Organic Skincare.
I have been to many aestheticians around the bay area, and Nadya is soooooooo much better. In comparison to other places, her prices are amazingly reasonable, and she really spends time with you. When I leave the Institut de Beaute, my skin looks beautiful. And the effects last throughout the week. My husband even notices!
I would also like to add that she is very conveniently located. It’s easy to get there via public transportation, or just park in the Sutter Stockton garage and walk half a block! If you value good skincare, Nadya is the one to go see!
