If you follow me on Instagram you know that I’m a single girl 35-year-old in San Francisco with a small white dog who has a love for fantastic fashion, food, skincare, and BRAVO.

Now, I’ve had quite a few facials in my day and I can tell you with confidence that I know the difference between a good facial and a bad facial.

My love for all things BRAVO recently let me to Heather Gay’s spa, Beauty Lab + Laser in Salt Lake City, Utah. I should have known better than to have booked a $150 30-minute hydrafacial at a spot known for a mini lip plump owned by a BRAVOLEB, but I did it for the gram, and wow wow wow. This was NOT a good facial. I’d actually compare the entire experience to the haircut I got when I was 10 at Supercuts. The facial was fast, efficient, and in a room with FOUR other clients. I kept my clothes on, there was no massage (I always need a massage) and I was out of there in 30 minutes flat. Yes, I was glowing after the facial…but NOTHING like the glow I got at Isabelle McLeod Aesthetics in San Francisco.

Now, let’s chat about the facial I had in San Francisco at Isabelle McLeod Aesthetics

The BEST Facial in San Francisco

My entire experience at Isabelle McLeod Aesthetics. was a dream compared to Beauty Lab + Laser. If you are looking for the ultimate facial with medical-grade products and tools, just scroll down and book an appointment with my girl Isabelle right this minute. She’s a master esthetician with over 10 years of experience and does an amazing job of creating a soothing and relaxing experience while going to town on your skin.

For my first visit with Isabelle, I had the FRESH START RX PLUS TREATMENT (90 MIN) – $325 includes face, neck & chest

The popular FRESH START RX PLUS TREATMENT provides dramatic results in a single session. While they customize the products and strengths of active ingredients for each client individually, the treatments typically follow the same protocol unless you specify otherwise. Every time you visit, they determine what’s required and get to work. They feel strongly about educating their patients about their skin, no one leaves the office without a full understanding of what they need to keep their skin looking great and why!
