Editorial Review for Prima Facie Skincare Salon – by Lorraine Sanders
In Short
The vibe here is upbeat (think early Madonna tracks instead of earthy ocean sounds) and far from the stuffy serenity found at many spas. Located inside the Notorious for Hair salon, this Castro day spa is well known for its extensive waxing menu, which includes just-for-guys options like the Boyzilian. Facials, peels, massage therapy and eyebrow and eyelash tinting are also available. The friendly estheticians are happy to offer advice on at-home skin regimens.

I started going to Donna after she gave me a consultation about my skin. Basically, I had deep, embarrassing scars all over my face and felt like I had no one to turn to for help. I went to two different dermatologists who were useless and gave me no hope. Donna was honest and said she would help me find a solution to my problem. After a few facial sessions, I started noticing that my scars were fading and were becoming smaller. I finished my 6th facial with Donna and my scars are BARELY visible! I cannot believe it! She truly is a miracle worker and on top of it all, she is genuine and sincere! I HIGHLY recommend Donna - you will be amazed! Ask her to tell you about my story. Thank you Donna!
Pros: Friendly, professional atmosphere. Very knowledgable.

My best friend (male) and I (female) were cruising through the Castro district in San Francisco and noticed a sandwich board outside of an open door. The board offered $20 off a first time facial and I really needed one. We went up the stairs into this really fun salon and spa. The salon is called Notorious for Hair and the Spa is called Prima Facie. Anyway, My skin was a wreck and I thought I'd take advantage of the intro deal. I was so glad that they were able to fit me in that day. Meanwhile, while my friend was waiting for me, he read that the spa provides men's brazillian waxing. He had never tried it, partly because he was worried about the pain and partly because he was embarrassed to have a woman wax him. What a treat to find Evan working there. Prima Facie has this new male esthetician (Evan) and he is amazing!!!! He gave me one of the most relaxing facials I have ever experienced. My skin looked and felt gorgeous and I felt like I was floating on a cloud. When my facial was done, my friend told me that he wanted to try the male brazillian, so we asked Evan if there was time. He did and off my friend went into the treatment room. After his service was over, my friend couldn't stop talking about how comfortable Evan made him feel and that his technique was almost pain free. Evan is one smooth guy....and so is my face, and my friend's....well my friend is happy!!!
Pros: Comfortable environment, Professional Staff, Affordable prices
Cons: Parking isn't perfect, but pleanty of transportation nearby
