Review from Amy W.
San Francisco, CA
5/21/2012 Purchased a Yelp Deal
My friend recommended Andrea Total Skincare when I was panicked about my skin leading up to my recent wedding. It was a bad cycle where I would stress about my skin, which would only make my skin worse... From the first appointment with Andrea, I knew I was in good hands. She recommended incredible products that were gentle and left my skin feeling healthier instead of drying my skin like most acne products. After monthly facials for about five months, I celebrated my wedding with glowing, healthy, clear skin and have her gentle touch, kind words, and talent to thank.
I plan to continue to see Andrea as I realize now how important a good routine is for healthy skin care - and mental health too! If you need a total overhaul of your skin or even just a relaxing facial, I highly recommend Andrea.
Thanks so much! -

I don't know what I can say that hasn't been said! Andrea is really amazing. I can say that she is a perfect esthetician to see during pregnancy. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, but she has an automatic folding bed so you're not lying flat on your back the whole time (a no-no during pregnancy). two thumbs way up!

I am totally sold on Andrea's services and the products she has studied and uses. After too many years of sun tanning and the inevitable aging process, Andrea has given my skin new life. My skin tone is brighter and my skin texture is smoother. I recently went to a dermatologist run cosmetic center for an injectable skin filler consult (something Andrea doesn't do). Although I was satisfied with the consult, that office approached skin care in a very cookie cutter fashion. I am sold on Andrea!

I am 41, and because of Andrea's talent and products, my skin looks better now than when I was 30.
If you are considering getting a facial, do not bother with anyone else. Andrea is, by far, the best. (And, she is a lovely and interesting person to be around.) -

Andrea has a beautiful studio in the Mission. As soon as you enter, you feel the stress melt away. She is very friendly, knowledgeable and experienced.
I had moderate/severe cystic acne when I started seeing her and my face has returned to a healthier, glowing state. I have been seeing Andrea for a year now and I look forward to each appointment, knowing that I'll be in good hands and have a wonderful experience. She will work with you on determining what products and treatments will help heal your skin.
Whether you want help managing your acne or just to treat yourself to a relaxing facial, Andrea is your girl! -

Andrea has saved my skin! I have suffered from cystic acne for years and been on every type of medication to solve the problem, including accutane twice. I got regular facials in LA that would help for a time but never really improved the texture of my skin. When I moved to SF a few years ago, I wandered from facialist to facialist, never finding one that could take care of my skin. My skin felt congested, clogged, and unhealthy despite having used every product that was supposed to help. I went to the dermatologist, who again wanted to put me on accutane. That was it, I found Andrea on-line and she saved my skin.
She confirmed that my skin was congested and very tough (not a good thing for a girl!). She started me on weekly treatments of dermasound (total of four) and my skin went through an amazing transformation! I've been seeing her now for well over a year (monthly) and for the first time in my live I have received compliments on my skin. The glycolic peels are helping with the scars, and I no longer feel self-conscious about my skin.
If you've ever suffered from cystic acne, have not received any relief from accutane, and have tried every skin care line without success, then see Andrea. -

So my girlfriends bday is coming up and I was wondering what to get a girl that wants and needs everything. Then right as she was falling asleep last night she muttered "a facial would be nice". I swear she can read my mind.
Andrea came to mind right away. I have been going to Andrea on and off again for about 3 years. She's not only amazingly calming and pleasant to be around she also always remembers what I am up to.
I know that Andrea will take the time to talk to her and figure out exactly what she wants. As we know everyone expects something different.
BTW her office has moved she is now located at

I love Andrea so so so much! I have been seeing her for about five months. My skin has made a huge leap towards that perfect skin tone I want. She is on top of it and knows how to tailor her remedies just for you. She uses a fabulous line called Osmosis which I have for my at home treatment. When that bright light shines in your eyes and you are ready for extractions Andrea makes you feel right at home. She has that motherly touch!
Everyone should make that appointment and treat yourself to lovely and soft skin! -

Lately I have been letting Yelp lead the way to undiscovered treasures to brighten my life, and it certainly did exactly that when it led me to Andrea. I prefer to invest my hard earned money in local small businesses over big corporate chains (especially when it comes to my skincare), and Andrea is top- notch. The space is great inside, and she is a true pro at her craft. I will be back!

Andrea is amazing! My skin was a wreck when I went to see her, and she saved it! I've tried so many different products on my acne but it didn't get any better until Andrea worked her magic on me. Now I only put Andrea-approved products on my face. I use her cleanser and moisturizer and makeup. And I love it. Not only is she great at her job, but she is also a lovely person. I feel very comfortable with her and we talk like old friends. And she really cares about her clients. She goes above and beyond to keep her clients happy. My skin is so much better thanks to Andrea. Thank you, Andrea!
Go see Andrea, whatever your skin issues are! -

Going to Total Skincare by Andrea will make you want to smile more, just so you can feel how cool your face feels when you move it. It'll make you feel better looking, and you will be.
I went to Andrea primarily because (I must be one of those men that thinks he has to justify getting a facial) I am an acupuncturist and I was looking for a good non-dermatologist skin professional to recommend to my patients who could benefit from careful cleansing and conditioning of the skin.
I found what I was looking for, but not before Andrea transformed my face, which, with all my facial hair, is not an easy face to transform. Walking out with glowing, smooth skin, I realized how greasy my face had been--gross!--and how stealthy Andrea is in her ability to make dermal therapy feel so good.
I am impressed with Andrea's knowledge of skin conditions like acne, dermatitis, and eczema, and I feel confident suggesting her to patients, knowing that they will be grateful to me for it. -

I have been getting facials at Total Skin Care by Andrea for several years now. Try the Dermo-sound it is awesome! My face always feels so great afterward. Plus, you leave feeling totally relaxed. Andrea knows skin and she will find the best way to treat your skin. When dermatology care didn't work for me and I wanted to get off Proactiv, Andrea came through. My face has never looked or felt better. Thank you Andrea.

I got my 5th or 6th facial from Andrea today. It was great. She did a lovely face massage - activating my glands to expel their toxins. The last time I went in, I had a pimple....Well she very nicely pointed out "they're twins!" She worked so hard at getting to the roots. She ended up putting some acid on them and the next day I woke up with what looked like a new layer of skin over the pimples. It was insane!! I cleaned it up one last time and now there is hardly a trace of it. It was nice to go in today and have fewer extractions and more time for a lovely face and arm massage!
I recommend Andrea. She is knowledgeable and caring. She always asks me if I am comfortable. And man, she has some great products. They smell yummy and feel fantastic. -

I had a facial from Andrea yesterday and I feel compelled to write a glowing review to match the glowing skin I have today! I am so glad I went to Andrea. She is now going to be my regular esthetician. Not only is she down to earth and friendly, she is super-knowledgeable and professional. I felt in very capable hands. She cleansed my skin, then applied an enzyme treatment to break-up the oil build-up that had been causing break-outs. Then she applied a delicious hot towel that relaxed me, and apparently my skin relaxed as well: the extraction process was painless. She did a peel, then a delightful treatment to cool the skin. I was so sad when the treatment was all over. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. All my life I've cursed my oily skin, but I am so thankful for it now, as I need facials every 8 weeks!! I can't wait to go back to Andrea.

I've visited a number of aestheticians over the years, but none like Andrea. She cares so much for her clients - how they feel and whether they're enjoying the experience. It's clear that Andrea takes her craft seriously - from the setup of her space, to the quality of the products she uses, through to her bedside manner. And her chair! It's the best (just try it, and you'll see what I mean). Most of my prior experiences with aestheticians left my face feeling ouchy, but with Andrea it felt great. I'd recommend her to anyone interested in getting quality skin care from someone who knows what she's doing.

Andrea is one of the most professional skin practitioners in the city. She is awesome in every aspect. Great space, great services (with excellent results) and she is really, really nice to be around.
As an added bonus (and as another reviewer mentioned) you won't leave with hundreds of dollars in products that you don't really need.
I should go more often. In fact, I'm calling now. :) -

I've been "sampling" various estheticians for years now, trying to find the best waxing experience.
I am delighted to recommend Andrea Total Skincare as one of the very best I've experienced.
Andrea's treatment suite is modern, immaculate, comfortable and peaceful. She personally greeted me with warmth and attention.
My waxing procedure (I tried lip, chin and brow) was less painful yet more detailed than any I've experienced to date.
Andrea's location is very convenient by BART and adjacent to a whole day's worth of interesting diversions in the Mission.
Overall, I was highly satisfied and would absolutely recommend Andrea to others. -

I"m in Love. With Andrea and my skin. My skin looks so good since I been going to Andrea. Here space is relaxing and her treatments are great. I travel a lot for work but always find time to see her for my skin every 4 weeks. You should try it your skin will love it. She is better then a face lift.

My facial with Andrea was by far the best facial I've ever had. Her style is very European and the products she uses are wonderful-- all resulting in refreshed and renewed skin for me! I especially appreciated how knowledgeable she is about her practice and the products she uses. Plus, she is very thorough with extractions, which I think made a huge difference.
I left feeling and looking great... Andrea is the way to go! -

Andrea takes such great care of my skin. A facial with her is a real treat from door to door. Her office is beautiful and calming. Her chair is so comfortable your whole body relaxes the second you lie down. Andrea has taught me how to care for my skin in ways that are easy to incorporate into my daily routine. I love to buy gift certificates for friends or associates to go see Andrea because I know she will take excellent care of anyone I send her way. Thanks for making me look good in more ways than one, Andrea!

Andrea is the bomb when it comes to aestheticians - and I've been to a few, given that I've received monthly facials for several years now. Andrea owns and operates an independent business, which means that she is able to carefully hand-select her own product lines and recommend products for each individual client, instead of being forced to push a specific line due to a salon contract or franchise. She's got an incredible touch, knows how to give 'tough love' (i.e. telling me my skin is congested because of a recent smoking habit...), always squeezes in a short massage while a mask is working magic on my skin, and attends to my eyebrows with some crazy attention to detail. The salon is a clean, relaxing space - there is easy, unrestricted street parking, and a lovely back garden area where you can relax if you happen to arrive early. All around, a very professional, individual, attentive experience that results in glowing, younger-looking skin. She also runs some very economical specials frequently. Highly recommended!

Before retirement I did not "indulge" in facials but Andrea has turned me around. Her touch is so gentle I actually use her regularly for facial waxing - and the need is less frequent as we go on. If you need pampering or an attitude adjustment I recommend Andrea.

Andrea is amazing. I would never let anyone else touch my eyebrows. Additionally, she is a lovely person, and great company, which makes any service provided even better.
