Man Lai Beauty Center

I go to Jessica every 3 – 4 weeks and every time I leave with an awesome feeling about my skin. Jessica is gentle, careful, thorough and takes very good care of the skin. I especially enjoy the steam and massage before she does the extraction and the extraction isn’t painful at all when I am not breaking out. I like the mask too, feels very soothing and nourishing.

I’ve been going to Jessica for 3 years now and she’s awesome. It’s a no frills beauty center but if you want someone who genuinely cares about your skin– Jessica’s your pro!
She has various packages (some including massages and masks) and depending on your skin type, she’ll help recommend the best. She speaks 3 languages and is extremely accommodating if you need to reschedule or need something last minute. In addition, she also encourages you to take a look at your skincare. For example, if you have oily skin (like me) — she’ll encourage you to use products that help alleviate the problem. She’s shown me a lot of really interesting chemistry-​type experiments on some of my every day products.
I can’t say more good things about her — she always goes above and beyond and is truly the best!

Called around 10 AM and got an appointment at 3 PM on a Sat. I was pleasantly surprised.
Easy to find with big «MAN LAI BEAUTY CENTER» on the windows. Walk in and there is a waiting area with a desk. Don’t expect a full on spa or you’ll be disappointed.
For an extra $ 10 dollars, you get a 30 min massage. so my total was $ 50. Jessica is awesome with her hands. She first cleans your face then moves on the steaming. While she’s steaming your face, she’s massaging your face with a thick cream. Not sure what it was for but it felt good. Then she moves on to the extractions. I personally went in because I had A LOT of black heads and white heads popping out and wanted to get them taken out. BUT Jessica took about 3 mins and pulled out 3 blackheads and called it a day. She then moved on to the mask which was REALLY refreshing. After the mask, she asked me to turn around for the last 10 mins of my massage.
All together, it was an OK experience.

I was very pleased with my experience. Once I arrived I rang the doorbell and Jessica answered, behind me she locked the door. This was great, I felt safe and my belongings to, I could essentially leave my things wherever. My appointment started on time. The prices are amazingly affordable, its about half of your typical salon prices. I felt very comfortable, easily. The place is not fancy but you get what you need and Jessica is very thorough in her service. She will discuss your needs with and provides and 30 min massage with the facial. I even left with a couple samples! I will definitely be back.

Jessica knows a LOT about skin care. She will tell you which package will benefit your skin, and consult you on skincare products (if you need them). I’ve been there for 3 facials already, and got so hooked I bought the 10-​package deal to save $.
She’s very friendly and converses with me in Cantonese. She’s also very accomodating if you need to get in on a certain time, or outside her work hours. Always great to support local businesses!

I like to see Jessica once a month for facial and massage. She is very calm professional and takes good care of her clients. She knows a lot about skincare and the body. It is easy to schedule an appointment there and very good deal with a low price. i highly recommend man lai beauty center to everyone.

wow! I would move to San Fran for this treat of a place. facial was incredible and at such a great price. $ 40 for 90 min, I’m spoiled so much so that I can’t go back to my $ 100 /​hr place back home.

Amazing service, amazing deal!

After the 4^th facial, I decided to write a review.
My skin has never been «that» bad, but at a ripe old age of **, I still get the periodic acne that pops up wherever it wishes. The long-​term «problem areas» I have are on either side of my face right below my cheeks. Big, I mean HUGE, pimples pop up there about twice a year. Throughout the decades, I’ve popped it numerous times and the end result are scares and dark hidden spots. So during my first two times here, Jessica (it’s a one person show here) spent some time clearing/​extracting whatever gunk has been trapped in those areas. Today when I went, she didn’t have to do anything extra to that area. That area still has its minor residual scars, but it looks a lot darn better than it’s ever been. Thank you Jessica!
The 90-​minute facial includes about a 10 – 15 minute neck and shoulder massage (I HATE it when I fall asleep during a massage!), steam, mask, extraction, eyebrow trimming (if you want), among others. Since she is the only person, she will occasionally have to answer the door and/​or phone and I’m okay with that. It’s a no frills establishment and no pushy effort for you to buy any products.
Let’s face it, my skin will never be perfect (I blame it on my mom), but it sure looks better than it used to.

Delightful experience there. I wanted mostly facial massage and steam cleaning to treat travel fatigue, not so much the chi-​chi creams, lotions and high-​tech machines. And I got just what I wanted at about half the price of downtown spas. Jessica is very welcoming, and chats just enough to put you at ease, but not too much. I will go back. Call first, she has room for one customer at a time.

I am a fan of Jessica! I enjoy facials with her. J starts by cleansing your face really well, then she applies all types of creams and liquids on your face and they all smell really good. She tones your face and does a very thorough extraction (ouchie but good, and ends with a great mask and moisturizer. She also does a lovely massage on your shoulders. $ 40 for 90 minutes… that is such a deal. And Jessica is a super pleasant owner. i enjoy visiting her and giving her my business

Worth every penny.
Jessica: SUCH a sweet woman who knows her cosmetology!
Experience: Location is in a small store type salon. Typical massage bed with cozy blankets. Relaxation music. Dim lighting. Minimal talking.
Facial: Very thorough with several stages of creams, extractions and a mask.
Massage: Deep-​tissue pressure but relaxing on face, shoulders, neck, upper back, arms and hands.
Price: 90 minutes for $ 40??? Had to try it — and she’s great. Will be going back!

I have been going here for years! The environment has changed a lot in the past year. Its much nicer now. Jessica (owner) is very attentive and takes her time to get your face as clean as possible. She introduced me to a skincare line that works perfectly with my skin. She is always on the lookout for products that work and are inexpensive. One of the best things about her is that she does not believe you have to purchase super expensive beauty products just to have great skin. She never forces you to buy anything, like the other places. If you come here, expect to spend about 1.5 hours here. Most of the time, I become so relaxed, I fall asleep. She also massages your shoulders as well. Great place for a facial!

I passed by this place a few days ago and decided to try it out today. The facial was not bad. There was a lot of massage which was nice but she pressed too hard on my pressure points too many times. There were no hot towels but the whole facial lasted an hour and a half which is nice because most facials last only an hour. The price was cheap … only $ 40 !! You get what you pay for … don’t expect too much. She recommended me a skincare line and gave me samples of products to take home. I tried to tip her but she kindly declined.
