I was absolutely so pleased with skinGlow and with Viktoria. It was a very nice building very clean..when my daughter and I got into her salon it was so pretty and extremely relaxing. I brought my daughter age 17 in to see her and she explained everything she was going to do and why she was doing it. She was definitely extremely knowledgeable but explained everything so we could understand ..She was so thorough and so sweet. We were very impressed and loved how she took her time and was very personable. She was professional and made my daughter relax and enjoy. My daughter didn't want to get up when it was done. haha she loved her facial and on top of it her products are amazing and really have helped with my daughters skin and breakouts she was having. Would highly recommend skinGlow and we will be back and continue buying her clean and affordable products.

Absolutely amazing! Life-changing experience! Viktoria is a true world-class expert in her field. I’ve had a few facials before but nothing like this. Beautiful luxurious room, very high quality products and Viktoria’s touch is just… magical! The manual extractions she did were totally painless and left no red marks. The LED treatment was fantastic (a must). I came out literally glowing. Viktoria also took the time to educate me on how to take care of my particular skin and demonstrated how to use the products. I came out looking fantastic, feeling fantastic and I finally feel like I have control over my skin. (Got so many compliments afterwards). Definitely a customer for life !

I have been receiving facials from Viktoria for more than 10 years and I wish I could give her 10 stars! My skin is mixed and prone to both clogged pores and some sensitive red areas. Viktoria always takes time to examine my skin and then determine a facial that is individually tailored to the needs of my skin at the moment. I always need extractions and she is an expert at these; she patiently finds every pore that needs extracting and does it by hand. She explains each product as she cleanses, tones, exfoliates, applies soothing masks, and moisturizes my skin. She uses natural, high quality products that smell divine! Receiving a facial from Viktoria is a relaxing experience that I look forward to.

A life-changing experience. I never knew facials could be this good, and it is all thanks to Viktoria. She is truly a gem and just an absolute expert at what she does. From her communication skills to the cleanliness of her studio, her extensive knowledge on skincare/facials/products, her technique, conscientious mannerisms and overall kindness and warmth, Viktoria is someone you can trust. Believe me, it takes a lot for me to trust and invest in beauty/wellness businesses like this, and I was blown away after my first session with her. If it is your first time, I would recommend coming in with an open mind and letting her evaluate your skin and propose what she thinks would be best. That is what I did today, and I think she nailed it for me. I not only walked out with a personalized facial experience, but also I learned a lot from Viktoria. I am looking forward to continuing my skin care journey with her for years to come.

Viktoria is THE BEST!!! I have dry, sensitive, acneic rosacea prone skin (the trifecta of skin nightmares haha), and two months before my wedding, my skin had an absolute freak out in every possible way. Viktoria SAVED ME. She knew exactly what to do. It turns out all the harsh exfoliating products I was using was making everything worse. She really is an expert in all the skin problems one can get. Her products are incredible and her facials made my skin calm, hydrated, and glowy. I literally walked out looking better the very same day -- even after extractions! And my face continued to improve afterward! I'm headed to my wedding now and I am looking radiant, thanks to her facials. Never had a better facial in my whole life!!!!

I had my first facial with Viktoria and I was so impressed with her expertise. She knows her products, and clearly explained the synergistic science behind them. She took such time and care with my skin, including me in the process of what products she chose for the facial. Her extractions were effective and healed well. I was especially impressed with her LED light therapy. When my facial was done, my skin truly looked 10 years younger! She really cares about her clients and what's best for their skin. Thank you Viktoria for all of your time and incredible expertise. It was truly a luxury experience!

I typically am not a fan of facials, but boy has my mind been changed after THIS facial by Viktoria. I especially enjoyed the aromatherapy and the massage that Viktoria incorporated in to the session. I will definitely book another appt. with Viktoria. Her demeanor was absolutely lovely, and her space for the treatment was so soothing and beautiful. Viktoria took her time with me, and made me feel like I was her most important client. She treated me like a princess. Not only will I be back but I strongly recommend others book a session with Viktoria as well!

I have never been to an esthetician before, and Viktoria came highly recommended. I wasn't sure what to expect, but when I arrived, I was amazed by the lovely studio, which immediately provided such a calm and inviting atmosphere. Viktoria immediately put me at ease, answering my questions and discussing the process in a very compassionate way. She has an extensive knowledge about skin and skincare, and comes from a preventative perspective to help people have healthy skin. As for the procedure itself, Viktoria explained each step and it's benefits, as she applied cleanser, toner, moisturizer, steam, a face mask, extraction, warm towels, and a face massage in a very gentle and nurturing way. Already feeling blissful, she then applied red and blue light, and through my closed eyelids and goggles I saw what looking like a red-orange sunset, which became a bright white light like being at the beach. It was beautiful, and stimulated my imagination. It then turned a purple-blue hue before the lights came back on and Viktoria made sure I was comfortable. I was the most relaxed I'd been in quite a while. My skin looked so good, I looked like a different person! Viktoria's work speaks for itself--wow! Viktoria walked me through how to use some sample products, but I decided to give it a go with a month of products to keep up my skincare, and she showed me how to use those as well. Overall, 10/10 and recommend Viktoria to everyone I know! It's amazing how much we abuse our skin and take it for granted, when it's one of the most important organs of our body! We should all be keeping our skin healthy.

Wow! I came in with very red looking skin and large pore. I left with smooth, not red, glowing skin. Usually i have to wait days for the redness to go away on it's own. Viktoria is very caring and dedicated. I felt truly watched over and at ease in her hands. She has great attention to detail and a soothing demeanor. I left feeling more relaxed than i have felt in years when i left my appt. Do yourself a favor, and book yourself an appointment. I know i will be back again :)

I have been going to Viktoria for facials and for skincare products for about 10 years. I am so sad that she is moving out of the area! Besides being very knowledgeable about skin and skincare products, she is just a wonderful person - very down to earth, sweet and funny! I always enjoy seeing her. I had been to many estheticians in past years, but she really is the best, and I felt lucky to find her in Alameda. I always leave treatments feeling soooo relaxed, and my skin looks, smells and feels so good! Prior to covid (when I wasn't wearing a mask in public) people regularly told me how young I look once they found out my age, which is always nice to hear! I am bummed that I won't be able to go to Viktoria for her fabulous facial treatments, but at least I will still be able to purchase my Pevonia products from her. My skin and I will miss her!

Viktoria is a very talented, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful esthetician! I have had many facials over the years, and also have worked in many spas myself, however, Viktoria has exceeded any other facial treatments I have ever had. Her products are also amazing. She uses Pevonia and I have now been using them for years since she first introduced me. I have never had to get any botox treatments, like other women my age because of Viktoria's treatment regime, and I still literally have zero wrinkles! She also uses an anti-aging LED light therapy that makes my skin glow and shine when I leave. All I know is after receiving her treatments, you will feel younger and revitalized. I get compliments on my skin weekly, and I have to give all the credit to Viktoria. Thank you so much!!!

My experience at SkinGlow with Viktoria was wonderful. I'm so glad I went! I've never had a facial before and when I reached out with questions, she got back to me quickly with available appointment times and explained over the phone the benefits of the facials I was considering. When I finally came in, the experience was easy and so relaxing. After assessing my skin type, she recommended the LED facial. She was extremely friendly, and made sure to explain everything she was going to do during the facial thoroughly. It felt like heaven when she applied the various masks and treatments to my face. I never knew a face massage could be so relaxing either! I even got some samples of the products she used to try at home. I didn't know I actually have dry skin as well as rosacea, so it was great to learn that from her so I can find better products for my skin type. It's been almost a week now, and I am already noticing the difference. I have a really small broken capillary on the side of my nose that drives me nuts and makes me self conscious, and it already is less noticeable and my skin overall appears more even toned. I even had chapped lips before I came in, and when I left, they were soft again! I really want to come back - I highly recommend her.
