Skin and Brows By Tina

⁰¹⁷⁄₁₀₀ — 2016 Unilocal 100 CHALLENGE.
I was looking for a new place that was closer to me and provided hydrafacials at a great rate. I poked around Unilocal for a bit and found Tina, who offers mini-​hydrafacials at $ 60/​ea. As my skin is pretty decent/​clear to begin with (just have some cystic acne that crops up once a month), having a mini-​hydrafacial would be more than enough.
Please be sure to book early!!! Tina is a very busy lady! She was out of town when my cystic acne originally flared up and because she had her weekends filled up, we weren’t able to schedule an appointment for 2 – 3 weeks later. Even though Tina was out of town, she was VERY quick to respond via e-​mail and we set up an appointment for Feb 6^th the same day I had contacted her online. Awesome!
Her studio is very nice and very clean. My only problem is that there are 1 – 2 other businesses that share that building space and no one works front desk, so it was kind of awkward to try and find out where she was and what I was supposed to do (wait? let her know I was here somehow??) lol. Eek.
Thankfully (I guess) I had a new cystic pimple cropping up on my chin so it was a good opportunity to see how effective the hydrafacial was. The process only took about 30min before we finished, I paid, and went on my merry little way. The cyst stayed there for about another day, but by today (Wednesday) it’s completely gone. YAY!!!
Definitely recommend Tina for her hydrafacials. She’s great at what she does and makes everything incredibly comfortable for her clients — super easy to talk to and such a nice woman.

Tina is a real godsend. My son came to Tina with a severe case of acne. After just 4 acne facials his skin looked amazingly better. He was thrilled with the quick results. She is very professional and she really knows her «stuff». He regularly uses her products and the products have definitely helped him manage his acne. What we really love about Tina is that she truly cares about her clients.

I’d like to preface this review by saying Tina will make your skin look amazing, plump and smooth… I went here for a facial. I cannot speak on her brow shaping, but I’m sure it’s lovely. She was friendly enough and uses all sorts of innovative products and techniques. I enjoyed how my skin looked for weeks after my appointment with her. The salon doesn’t have a front-​desk person, and when you arrive to her suite, you should just wait at the chairs. If you walk into her space, you will walk in on another client. I learned that the hard way. Since I’d never been there before, I had no idea and there were no signs or warnings or anything, so don’t be a dummy like me. This isn’t a frilly, relaxing type facial. You will be in the clothes and shoes you showed up in and in bright lights the entire time. She explained every step of her process and even mentioned the ingredients she was using, so that was good. I mentioned that I try to only use natural products and she recommended an herbal supplement that I am very happy with. I am extremely confident you will love going here if you don’t want a fru-​fru facial, and just want glowing skin!

I suffered with acne for many years, and was finally at the point of going on accutane. Luckily right before I found Tina! Her product is absolutely amazing, and if used with her microdermabrasion facials, the results are magic. I have been going to Tina for 2 years now and am amazed with the results of my skin. I never thought my skin could be so clear. Just recently, I also started using her eyebrow waxing services which are also great! Tina is amazing, and I would recommend her to anyone for her great services. She is very knowledgable and really cares about her customers and seeing their skin improve!

I’m very impressed with my experience at Skin and Brows by Tina.
Tina is an amazing esthetician. She is very knowledgeable about skin and skin care. For the first time my skin looks great!
Tina is professional, honest and will make your face glow!

I found Tina about 4 years ago. If I could bottle her skills and take it with me for the rest of my life I would! And my brows would be extremely happy! lol
I’ve had my fair share of eyebrow terrorist encounters. With horrible, horrible, horrible, eyebrow nightmares to follow while waking up and looking in the mirror the next morning to see that it actually happened. And it’s on my face. LoL
Tina is a brow Godess! lol She is always so pleasant and nice when I see her, even if I’m late! She’s absolutely the best! Very flexible, and very personable! Her set up is so glam, and clean, it’s always a pleasant experience all around.
I move around a lot, but every time I’m in San Diego, I stop by to see her, and my brows get right back on track after seeing her.
She is very Very veryyyyy Good at what she does! I Love her, and my brows Love her! lol
I highly Recommend any woman or man out there to stop by and see her for any brow fixes, or brow upkeep! But I warn you! Once you go to Tina, YOU WILL NEVER WANT TO GO TO ANYONE ELSE… Yeah! She’s That Good! lol
I’ve posted a picture after having my brows done by Tina. (Wearing hot pink shirt)
I also have a posting on a very bad eyebrow review at a place in San Antonio TX. Don’t confuse the brow work. Not that you could…
If I could give Tina TEN STARS! I Would!
I haven’t had any facial treatments done by her yet, but I will soon!

I have been seeing Tina for a good year and a half for my brows and HydraFacial, and she’s a perfectionist at both with years of experience. Her attention to detail always leaves my skin with the best results, and my brows looking perfect. Probably because she trained years with only the best brow guru to the stars, Anastasia Soare, and has worked with the best!
The HydraFacial is really amazing. It’s non-​invasive with no downtime, and I have very sensitive skin. When she combines this with Microderm, you can’t go wrong. I feel like my skin is so squeaky clean after I see Tina, like my skin was vacuummed clean! The HydraFacial just deep cleans my pores, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates all at the same time. I’m sold.
After I get it done, my skin looks hydrated, smooth, and plump! Pores are smaller, my face is hydrated, and my makeup goes on amazing. Coming from a fellow Esthetician myself, Tina is one of the best! :)

I had a hydrafacial done by Tina and it was amazing! I didn’t think I would get immediate results but I did. I had hyperpigmentation from a previous chemical peel, and the hydrafacial instantly lightened it. She recommended this lightening cream and I am getting immediate results. It’s not even been a week and alreay I see a difference from my chemical peel gone bad. Thanks Tina!

Tina Assi is absolutely amazing!!! I go to Tina for everything, including eyebrow shaping/​waxing and facials, and I have never had anything but positive experiences and great results with her! Tina is very professional, courteous and absolutely wonderful at what she does! I have recommended her to all of my friends and they have been extremely happy with her services! I always get compliments on my skin after every facial that I get from Tina, and my skin feels so good! I highly recommend that you schedule your next appointment for a facial, eyebrow waxing, dermaplane, etc… with Tina, you won’t be disappointed!
