Smooth Skin Bar

07/17/2008 Posted by roknchik

Today I had my first facial ever and I'm so glad I chose Linda! She impressed me with her professionalism and helpful insight- she even told me things I had no idea could be determined from just looking at someone's skin! Since it was my first, we had a heavy extraction process to go through but the products she used afterwards really calmed down the irritation and my skin looks almost perfect right after the facial! She also recommended some products that would get my skin in good shape and explained a detailed regimen specifically formulated for me. If you're looking for personalized, dedicated treatment and a comfy atmosphere Smooth Skin Bar will be your haven. Like another reviewer said, pricey but worth every penny. In this industry you get what you pay for and I don't think I'd trust just anyone else with my face even if I do have to shell out a few more bucks for quality. Thank you Linda!

Pros: 20+ years experience really shows! personalized treatments

Cons: a little pricey

Linda really is an extraordinary facialist. I've had mild acne since my early 20s that mostly cycled with my hormones. Linda did an extraction that cleared up my most stubborn problem area, and it has stayed clear for 4 months and counting. She sent me home with some sample products that felt different from anything I'd ever used. I felt no pressure to buy anything. Linda let the products speak for themselves. I sent my husband in for his birthday and he loved it too! Highly recommended.

Pros: one-on-one service, no hard sell, great products

I've had many, many facials - different varieties everywhere from day spas to resorts and beyond. I was not born with great skin - I have to work at it and Linda is a master at extractions (got things i had felt under my skin for sometime that no one else had dared to try in addition to the obvious things on my nose, etc). She spent a full 90 minutes on my skin and customized the facial to be exactly what I needed (vs. my choosing from a pre-set menu). I am so excited to be working with her - $130 and worth every penney. Her salon is impeccably clean and decorated so beautifully (lovely Asian garden, too).

Pros: Truly experienced facialist, customization, pharmaceutical grade products

My first facial so I have not comparison, but I was very pleased with the service I recieved. Linda was not only extremely nice and knowledgable, she stayed late to give my problem skin the attention it needed at no additional charge. UPDATE: i have now been back two more times and now my skin is clear!! For the first time in years!! I feel and look great. I am not one to spend a lot of money on fancy spas, but I got every penny worth from Linda. If you have acne and have not had success with other treatments, you must see Linda.

Pros: immaculate, personalized, hip

Cons: none

Totally addicted! Smooth Skin Bar is divine & Linda Robles is remarkable. The best facials which are designed specifically for what you need at the moment (definitely not a generic, run of the mill facial or spa). I always leave felling relaxed & wonderful. My skin has never looked better. Linda is incredibly professional, knowledgeable & delightful. The peels are age defying, body wraps are terrific & the product lines she carries are top grade. Definitely the best & worth every penny!

Pros: Individually tailored, great environment, serene & relaxing

Linda Robles at Smooth Skin Bar is absolutely wonderful. The hour and a half facial is by far the best I've ever had. Linda pays such close attention to every little detail and uses top of the line products. She also made some specific recommendations to me on what products would work best for my skin. Definitely the best facial in Houston and well worth the money!

Pros: attention to detail, relaxing, great atmosphere
