I am not one to usually write reviews, but when I have consistently experienced such superb service, without exception, from an establishment for over 17 years, I feel I cannot let that go unmentioned. I am somewhat of a ?spa junkie? and have been to spas all around the world ? some of the most famous & respected, in fact ? but the Day Spa/Wellness Center that Marion Simms and her staff at Skin Sense have created is like none I have ever experienced ? and they have done that by their expertise, as well as by their personal care & attention toward me each time I walk through their door. They have truly managed that difficult task of melding professionalism, warmth and generosity, which are the intangibles that contribute so much to my spa-going experience. First of all, I trust Marion implicitly in knowing how to treat my skin. I have had difficult skin all of my life and, as a commercial actor, my livelihood has depended to a big extent on how my skin looks. Marion has not only been able to ?calm down? my skin, but has also taught me how to care for it in a really easy & manageable way ? and that?s great for me, because I don?t like fussing with products or time-consuming ?skin care? routines. And the irony now is that people often comment on what great skin I have! Who would?ve thunk it ? for a guy who was known as ?acne face.? And, Marion?s technical brilliance aside, just getting pampered and being in Skin Sense?s clean, aesthetically-pleasing & calming environment is reason enough to keep coming back. All of these elements, as well as Marion and her staff, make it so easy for me to ?check my problems at the door,? so that I always leave Skin Sense feeling relaxed and rejuvenated ? and I know that that relaxed feeling has contributed so greatly to the success I have had living in Los Angeles.

I get the feeling that people who rate this place highly have not been anywhere else. Honestly it is not impressive, from the lack of curb appeal to the outdated, cheesy interior, there are so many better places out there that give the full experience. I feel they don't put forth the effort to keep up with current ingredients and treatments, instead they rely on "European techniques" which really means heavy facial massage, old-school gadgets, and perfumey products. I did not get anything here that I could not have gotten at home, and did not feel radically relaxed or transformed when I left, which I DO get from a great place. You can see my other reviews for details. Sorry, I find this place unimpressive and they need to update into the new century!! Pros: none that i found, sorry Cons: outdated, pretty cheesy, old-school
