Stork’s Skin Therapy

I highly recommend Stork’s for all your skin care needs. I see Shannon, and she is absolutely incredible. She is caring, kind, meticulous, detail-​oriented, and she really knows her stuff when it comes to skin care. I see her for waxing and she keeps my skin soft and hairless and pays close attention to every detail. She has also helped me re-​grow my eyebrows after my well-​intended self-​plucking got out of hand. My brows are beautiful now. Go see Shannon. Turn your grooming over to her and she will take great care of you.

Was in town for business where I had to be in front of a lot of people and Madeleine helped me out in a last minute skin emergency. She was so kind and helpful and most importantly, zapped that pesky zit away with a laser treatment and mask. In 2 days it was completely gone. Also love all their beauty products in there. Highly recommended. Thank you Madeleine!

I recently moved cross-​country and a big concern was finding a good waxing place. Stork’s – and particularly Madeleine – has blown me away with her outstanding level of service, skill, and friendliness. She made what is normally kind of an uncomfortable experience into a pleasant and quick one :) The price is very reasonable, the store is clean and easy to get to, and there is a lovely little skincare boutique at the front that makes the whole thing awesome. Thanks Stork’s and Madeleine!

Had the most wonderful experience here with Madeleine. I have been meaning to go for a while as it has been recommended by some of my friends, and I’m so glad I finally did! I suffered from acne for many years which has left me with scarring and discoloration that I’ve been working a long time to get rid of. I have had a number of facials and peels, but this is by far the best I’ve ever had.
The type of peel she used on my skin did not sting/​burn/​or cause redness like other peels I’ve had, yet the benefit for my skin feels no less. My skin felt smooth, hydrated and less red even just the next morning. She walked me through each step of the process, and was very friendly and easy to talk to. Gave great advice for follow up care and reasonable product suggestions without making me feel like I was being forced to buy anything. So glad I finally made it here!

Yes just got a Brazilian wax bye madeleine she is great I would recommend this play parking not so great but it’s worth it when you get in there vary relaxing and I feel smoother than ever thank for anther great place in mission

I have had 2 treatments at Stork’s — one each by Madeleine and Caroline. With each visit I was professionally greeted, given realistic expectations, detailed explanations of every step of my treatments and products used, and received excellent service. I initially started out with an Oxygen facial + LED treatment. This was an amazing facial! I expressed my desire to work on hyper-​pigmentation and was offered a regimen that would not break the bank, yet has already yielded noticeable results! While with each visit I was offered supplemental products, I did not feel pressured to purchase. In fact, I have really enjoyed my treatments so far, and will definitely return!

Best waxing studio in the Mission!

Caroline is detail oriented, gentle, and incredibly sweet. I’ve never really enjoyed facials and I think she has just officially converted me! She thoroughly explained everything she was doing along the way and somehow, her (self-​identified!) meticulous extractions weren’t even all that uncomfortable. Caroline is probably single-​handedly responsible for my first ever actual skincare routine, and I’m nearly thirty. Even though she offers a wide array of natural and botanical products, she’s also just as quick to recommend and give information about more affordable options.

3 stars for a nice facial. Madeleine was thorough in explaning what she was doing and everything felt great.
Minus 2 stars for losing my personal property. I was instructed to put my brand new necklace (a birthday gift I had received that from my sister) into the bowl on the side table. After the facial, my contacts were really bothering me so I forgot to put it back on. Upon driving home, I realized it and when I got home, I emailed them asking for it to be put to the side and I’d come get it the next day. I didn’t receive an email or call back and had to call them two days later to ask when I could come pick it up. They said they didn’t have it and that it may have found its way into the laundry. I received another call after I emailed for a follow-​up and was told that my aesthetician did a sweep of the room after my facial and didn’t see it. I just can’t wrap my head around how the necklace would have even ended up in the laundry and/​or straight up disappeared. The girl on the phone apologized, but I didn’t feel it was enough. If you do go in for a facial, keep your belongings in your bag, otherwise they’ll «end up in the laundry».

SHANNON IS MY SHIT!!! :)
I came here this week after work for my very first full brazilian wax. I made the mistake of coming when I was on ‘shark week’ and Shannon made me feel super comfortable and did a ton to ease the pain even with the extra sensitivity due to bad timing on my part.
I am completely converted to the Brazilian and am really looking forward to trying our their other skin and waxing services. This place is really cool and well-​run. Go Stork’s!

Went with the Esthetician’s Recommendation with Caroline because of the positive Unilocal reviews.
Admin — Online booking system made it very efficient. When I got there, I had to ring the door to be let in. I was scheduled for 11:45 but didn’t start until 12. Caroline is very thorough (keep reading) so she doesn’t rush her appointments. I was fine with it, but something to keep in mind for others who are used to packing their days. Parking is not terrible but not easy – maybe factor in ¹⁵⁄₂₀ min.
Facial itself — Caroline is so thorough! Starts by asking about my routine and what my main concerns were – which were mild acne and light scarring. She then gives you an overview of what she’s going to do, to see if you’re ok with it all. I had a bevy of things – enzyme peel, dermaplaning, steaming, extractions, moisturizing mask, serum, etc etc. She takes her time with each step, to explain the use/​benefits. I also feel asleep a few times (whoops), except for the extractions of course. And throughout the facial, she gave great massages – including arm and hand. So relaxed.
Another great thing is that she does not push products or services! If you want to learn more, which I did (keep reading) then she will share knowledge. Otherwise, no pressure at all! So nice.
Since I asked Caroline how to really address my acne scarring, she recommended and I am going back for a 5 part LED series to really tackle that. Will update for that once done!

Best place to get waxed ever!
If you have sensitive skin there is no other place to go for waxing. Ask for Madeleine and you will not be disappointed. Clean, professional, and always willing to use the best wax, take breaks, whatever you need. Hands down, I will not cheat on her, ever. PS, ask for an eye brow tint or a massage too-​loved it.

I have been going to Shannon for my eyebrows for years, so when she told me she had moved to Stork’s I knew I was moving too. The storefront is nice, relaxing, and adorable (bonus points for the chocolate and citrus water!), plus I loved the look and feel of the handmade soaps so much that I bought four. Shannon was perfection as usual and I am looking forward to my next appointment in a month!

Excellent waxing experience with Chloe. She is super personable and did a great job! I’ll be back for sure.

Chloe is THE esthetician and I Iove her new location at the fabulous Stork’s Skin Therapy! She is not only an expert at her craft but is so personable and warm you immediately feel at home. I go to her for all of my waxing and facial needs and wouldn’t dare go anywhere else! She is not only knowledgeable in skincare products but knows everything from hair to make-​up! If you are looking for an esthetician look no further Chloe is your girl!!!

I’ve recently had the pleasure of getting a facial from Chloe. She was really attentive and took extra precautions in regards to my sensitive skin. I was very happy with my facial (and very much needed waxing). Definitely a great place for facials.

This place is less than a block from my house yet I found it on Unilocal and am so glad I tried it out. I had fantastic service from Chloe this afternoon! Careful, thorough, good attention to detail: all important attributes in a bikini wax. Plus it is in a cute independent shop in the Mission. Chloe tells me they sometimes have parties and bring in vintage clothes and free beer. I’ll have to check these out.

Beautiful ambiance. It was very inviting, calming, and welcoming. The team is great! Friendly staff, and they took great care of me. I came in for a facial and felt very pampered and refreshed. The Stork’s product line is of great quality with healthy and yummy ingredients to take care of my skin.
I also loved the selection of handcrafted soaps. I will be back to purchase some for holiday gifts.

I moved to the neighborhood a few months ago and nosed around for a new waxing spot. Stork’s is as good as I’ve had in the city or elsewhere.
Prices are incredibly reasonable, but the real reason to go is that the staff is wonderful.
I’ve been in a few times and everyone I have interacted with, from the girl at the front desk to the one actually ripping hair off my body, has been fantastic. Everyone is incredibly accommodating and welcoming and I haven’t had a better Brazilian in recent memory.
If you’re in the Mission and you need defuzzing, Stork’s is the way to go.

My daughter (who has perfect looking skin) turned me on to Caroline Stork. I am one of the lucky old ladies who also has acne.
She is amazing. I love the products she uses, the little treats to eat in the office etc. But the reason I go back each month is that she looks at my skin carefully each time and creates my treatment as needed. She also has a gift which is that of therapeutic touch. I am a nurse and I know that you can teach a lot but a healing hand is a gift!
