Perricone MD

Nico was the best person that worked at this place and I just found out that they fired her. I will no longer be going into Perricone MD because I refuse to support a company that would fire a women first and foremost while she is pregnant. All her customers loved her and she was always completely honest with me and just wanted to help. She never steered me in the wrong direction and I trusted her fully. Sorry Perricone but you lost a customer because you got rid of an amazing employee. I will follow Nico wherever she goes.

Bad management in this store.
I scheduled an appointment for me and a friend. It should have been a surprise for my friend who did allot for me and was in town for a day. She is a pilot therefore she stays only one day in town before flying back to Europe.
I went in to schedule an appointment for the same week but the women said she has no appointment were we can come in both at the same time. So I said I will wait a few weeks and schedule an appointment when my friend would be in town next. What I did. They promised me we can have the treatment together.
I got a message the day before to confirm my app. I went into the store to pay in advance.
When we arrived early morning the next day, all smiling, because I had this great surprise for my friend they told us we can’t have the treatment at the same time after all. I waited weeks to make it happen and now this. The women told us in a voice of «its not a big deal for you» to wait 30 min for each other. Who are you to put a value on our time together?
I planed this weeks ago and now we didn’t want to stand around and wait — we wanted to do things together! There were 6 – 8 people from an apparent staff meeting in the store but only one person who can work on a face! Sales staff seems so much more important.
I even wanted to try the facial a week before my appointment and called on a Saturday. They seem to have lots of staff walking out on them then there was no facial person available even on a Saturday…
Took my money back and left without treatment. A shame my friend didn’t get her surprise.
All in all they lost 3 facials I wanted to do plus products we would have bought afterwards…

Too bad they’re gone! My wife loved the place and I loved visiting the watch store next door!

I was looking for a facial salon in Berkeley and couldn’t find one that sounded good.
Then I came across this place and made an appointment… reluctantly .
I read up on Unilocal and decided to make an appointment with Nico.
OMG did I hit the jackpot !
She knew the product, what my skin needed, and delivered the perfect experience I was looking for.
No more searching, this is the place because Nico delivers the best spa experience.

I absolutely LOVE Perricone MD, from their skin care products to the in-​store experience, facial services and email updates. Even though 4^th street is full of the hustle and bustle, the store itself provides a sanctuary and peacefulness, it’s like a really great time out for your skin. There are 5 must have things! (1) Nico! She is the best. She is excellent at looking into your pores and figuring out the kind of nurturing treatment they need in order to be plump, full, glowing little skin cells. (2) Chia serum! This stuff is magic in a bottle it leaves the skin feeling silky, radiant and so well moisturized, especially during dry weather. (3) Nutritive Cleanser. It is the best face wash. Light but thorough. And it doesn’t leave a soapy film on the ace. Your face actually feels really REALLY clean after. (4) Formula 15! If you want to keep the little crinkles and blemishes at bay you MUST get this. It is worth every penny. It evens out the skin tone, the little lines disappear and within a week you will see healthy glowing skin (5) Express Brightening Facial. This is the best 45 min of your time! AND the best $ 50 you will have ever spent. Afterwards you feel like every pore on your face has been individually cleaned, loved, pampered and moisturized. The LED light therapy stimulates collagen and cellular growth. If you have a big event coming up, do this treatment 2 days before and your skin will be absolutely radiant.
My only con to Perricone MD is their «no makeup» makeup line of products. Honestly, I really do not care for a single one. They feel heavy and sticky. After going through such wonderful lengths to get a clean fresh beautiful face, why cove it up?
Hope you enjoy Perricone! And remember to ask for Nico! She is truly excellent at getting your skin on the right regimen, giving you the best facial and not just pushing a bunch of products on you. Do yourself and your skin a favor, stop in to Perricone MD.

I’m in my 70’s and have tried MANY products over the years that never lived up to their claims. Finally, I have found in all Dr. Perricone’s products — including make up products that EXCEED expectations and advertising. Here’s the great part. If you’re lucky enough to be near the 4^th street store, you can get a fantastic facial by the nicest most knowledgeable women I hav met anywhere. I’m a fan for life!

Nico! She’s saved my skin! Earlier this year a friend referred me to the Berkeley location and I got my first facial from Nico, loved the experience and how my skin felt. I felt sorry she had to work so hard on my darn blackheads! She gave me advice on which products would work well for my skin, and I have to tell I’ve gotten so many compliments!, what else can a girl ask for? I keep coming, as I absolutely love the package deals for the facials, how could you not? Products are amazing!
Plus, Nico is the coolest, sweetest gal. She’s also done the wax treatments for eyebrow and lips. No one I rather trust my skin to. She’s the best!

Nico ! Nico! Nico! Not only is her skin flawless and she’s always in a cheery mood you will be too when she is thru!!! She really understands me and my skin and always hooks yA girl up with the correct procedure and products — she won’t sell you something she doesn’t like and or that you don’t need. I always leave flawless… I woke up like this… And really downright happy. You can generally get a deal on packages around holidays. Scoop one up and go see Nico. She may spell it Niko. Not sure but one thing I am sure of … How I look when I leave. Amazing.

Leila. That’s who you should get a facial from! She’s amazing!!!
I went in to check out what they are about (based on all the great Unilocal reviews) and ended up getting a facial the same day. It’s free for first time customers who purchase three or more products. And then it’s only $ 50 after that.
The facial left my skin feeling so soft and really nice. They use all this fancy equipment after applying a mask. While I was waiting I was watching a woman get a facial and her skin was glowing. Mine is too now.
I’m super sensitive to smell and their products don’t bother me. I’m also super sensitive to who gives me massages and Leila completely won me over. She doesn’t talk much, which is nice. And she is not rough. I felt sooo relaxed, seriously relaxed (which if you know me is not that easy for me to do) that I couldn’t speak.
I highly recommend their facial (with Leila if possible) and their day & night moisturizer. And if you are really feeling like shopping, get their mask too!
To our ageless skin.

Nico gave me my first Perricone facial. She is absolutely amazing. My skin looked flawless afterwards and in addition, she applied makeup and made me into a beauty. Thanks so much Nico! I plan on seeing you soon!

I’m reviewing Leila! I had been to Perricon for facials, but I took a break. I went back sort of on a whim. I had an event this last weekend and wanted to look my best. I went for the luncheon lift with Leila, and have been receiving compliments on my skin ever since. She is amazing and a combo of her technique and those machines — wowie! I will be back again on a regular basis because it’s very simple — Leila is the best and this works. It’s an easy, affordable way to take care of my skin and look and feel great.

After a few months of using the «no foundation, foundation» I noticed that it was applying super light and made me look pasty. I had been traveling and in the humidity the product worked decently. Even though I used moisturizer to help the situation it did not help the texture/​look of the foundation. I tried to call in and explain the situation, but instead I was told that I needed a facial and then to try to change the product or get something else. #1 I will not pay to get a facial when your product does not work #2 this type of advice is pretty ridiculous and it feels like the customer has to take the blame for their product being subpar…
I recommend you stick to Sephora, Nordstrom, Aveda, etc. or other places that have better customer service and don’t try to blame the customer when their product doesn’t work it’s so laughable…

I was hesitant at first about their express facials since I’m used to the regular European facials where I’m lying in a bed behind closed doors with an aesthetician getting steamed n popped n extracted n whatnot on my face for an hour. Here, you sit up at the back of the store/​salon while they use their entire line of products (which are ah-​mazingggg) and this heavy duty scraper machine-​tool thing to dig at your pores, followed by a mask then a light-​wand and other essentials n necessities. You’re in and out in about half hour, and altho I miss the whole pampered feeling/​experience n I don’t feel like my skin is divinely baby soft after butttt it is good at maintaining my skin, overall. They also have great package deals, which has made me a regular!

Best facial in town.

Going to school has been horrible for my skin. Let’s just start at that. My skin has been prone to breakouts ever since I began college, but the products and facials I have been buying here are saving me and my skin from embarrassment. I’ve gone to the multiple estheticians here for facials and have left with my skin perfectly clean and dewy.
All of their products have worked wonderful for me. My skin is fairly sensitive from retin-​a (and other prescriptions I’m on from my dermatologist) and their hypoallergenic line of face cleansers and moisturizers work perfectly for me. They leave my skin feeling quenched but not like I’m walking around with a layer of say Eucerin on my face.
The facials are the bomb digity. Retin-​a sunburns are the worst but the estheticians have been wonderful in using the light therapy to help calm down my lobster red face. They’ve also recommended products that have saved my skin such as the photo plasma SPF 30 moisturizer and the chia serum. I do agree that it is a bit awkward to sit there and have them work on your face open to the public but it’s a nice relaxing time.
My favorite products are: The hypoallergenic moisturizer, the photoplasma moisturizer, hypoallergenic face cleanser, citrus face cleanser, and the pore minimizer.

Absolutely LOVE this place! The staff is very friendly and knowledgable on all Dr. Perricone’s products. I highly recommend coming in and getting a facial and investing in the products!

I’ve been coming here for about a year now. I always get facials from Myeshia or Elaine. Both are wonderful esthetician. Myeshia really gets those stubborn oil clogged pores clean! Elaine’s approach is more gentle. Both ladies are awesome.
All their products have work well on my skin, my skin has never been better. I think it’s a combination of using the right products that they recommended and getting monthly facials. They have a combo pack. 6 facials for $ 250 (express brightening).
It can get a little awkward when people look into the windows as you get your facial done, but you learn to zone out and really enjoy the deep cleaning.
Favorite products: face finishing moisturizer, photo plasma, citris face wash, vitamin c ester, and pore minimizer toner!

they’re using great technology in their facials but…
I want to love this… I do love the facials. The 2 things that make this a consistently frustrating experience:
1) each visit is about the ‘upsell’. I’ve come for the facial. If I’m interested in any of the products they’ve used I’ll let them know. Instead, from the minute you sit down, the chit chat is about discovering what you use and the type of person you are to figure out if they should try and sell you the full suite or spin how they’re product or two will nicely supplement what you already use. Each time. If I came once a month that’s a lot of product they’re trying to sell.
2) super uncomfortable chairs, if you’re on the shorter side you can’t even reach the foot ledge so your feet dangle for the 30 – 45 minutes. This is not a spa facial which is fine. You sit straight up in public. However, because the facial requires mild pressure against the face it can be hard on an unsupported neck. I once asked if we could move the chair closer to the wall and they said no and I was told that Perricone HQ has been told about customer complaints but the aesthetic of the site is more important to them.

I love this place! I have been suffering from some bad hormonal acne since going off of birth control and the early part of my pregnancy. There is very little treatment you can use when you are trying to get pregnant (and even less once you do get pregnant). But the brightening facials are Perricone MD are perfect — gentle and safe, but totally effective. I have been working with Myeshia and she is amazing! She understands my skin, and spends extra time with me to make sure she gives me the best treatment possible.
My results were so great, that I even hooked my husband on the brightening facials. He comes with me sometimes and sees Isis or August, and he loves both of them too. They do everything they can to customize the facials to our skin type.
Also, Christina has been so helpful getting receipts and letters together for me to submit to my insurance company to help me get these facials covered! She drafted several letters and always did it with a smile.
Huge recommendation, and a HUGE thanks to all the ladies at Perricone.

Never had a facial before and since I’ve been suffering from allergies since I’ve moved to San Francisco I decided to give it a try. Wow, what a difference, I immediately felt decongested, and so relaxed!
Thank you Myeshia for pampering me so well :)))
I highly recommend it!
Very nice shop, professional and caring staff, and manager Christina!
