      Great facial & first waxing experience on legs and underarms. She took her time to get a good understanding of my skin & needs. Entire facility was very clean....almost clinical in nature. For some reason they do not always abide by their hours posted which is irritating but they do good work.

      The underarm waxing hurt a bit but well worth it. The legs were almost painless. She took her time with the facial which included a neck, shoulder, & foot massage which I thoroughly enjoyed. Will be back in 5 weeks as suggested. Was offered a couple products to try but only opted for the body scrub & facial exfoliating gel. Got some aloe gel, tea tree oil, & all-natural deodorant for aftercare. Be patient & follow directions to avoid any mishaps.

      They didn't mention the deodorant but after researching online it's best because it doesn't contain aluminum which can cause irritation/rash to newly waxed skin. Getting adventurous next time with a French bikini ;) but got a lidocaine prescription from my doctor to ensure minimal pain. Maybe a full Brazilian next time. Cross your fingers!

      I've visited Rescue a few times now for a brazillian and eyebrow waxing, and was always extremely pleased. Val is amazing - congenial and fantastic.

      However, yesterday I had a terrible experience at Rescue with one of the newer estheticians. I think her name was Sarah. This was without a doubt the WORST brazillian I've ever had done. Not only was it extra long and tedious, it was extra painful (and I have a high pain tolerance and waxing is typically no big deal!). The wax was not complete, and I'm sad to say I have quite a bit of remaining hair left in very obvious places. She did not use enough wax, and was quite literally scrapping it onto my skin. My brows were waxed shorter than my natural length. Altogether, I hate leaving bad reviews for a place that is normally SO great, but I'm quite literally in pain and not happy today!

      I've found my waxing place in OC! Or did I finally find an esthetician?! Came here with groupon for a Brazilian wax and I walked out with no pain, stickiness or redness. Vanessa was wonderful and she does not double dip! She's a cool down to earth chick who enjoys her job! I was in and out in 30 minutes.

      This place is located in Ladera Ranch, all the way up Crown Valley almost to the mtn inside Pavillions mkt. They have another location in Dana Point. Place is clean, considering it just opened.

      I went to Rescue Skin Care for the second time tonight, and it was just a great as the first time. Val did my facial, and it was such a great facial. You can tell that she really wants you to de stress. She also takes the time to offer advice and talk to you about your skin concerns. The prices are super reasonable. Her massage during the facial was superb! My skin feels wonderful too. I would highly recommend Rescue Skin Care. Even the products they sell are very well priced. I am looking forward to my next facial!

      Valerie is the best waxer I've had! She does an amazing job & is fast and minimizes pain during the Brazilian. Rescue Skin is clean and the prices are reasonable. I wish they had one in North OC

      I bought the Endermologie service through Groupon, 5 sessions for 139.00 a couple of months ago. This actually was not the deal they stated.There is a list of the prices on the wall that says that the price for the 5 sessions is 140.00.

      I felt from the 1st visit that the person doing my sessions was rushed. I noticed that some times they were shorter than the amount of time that was suppose to be.
      On the 3rd visit I had to wait 25 minutes for the esthetician to finish her previous appointment. I didn't have a problem with that except that my was about 10 minutes short again. I found out on my 4th session when I was 10 minutes late that they are on a very strict on time policy and that they would only be able to do a short session.
      This was interesting because I had been always on time before and had either to wait or had my time shortened.
      I called a couple of times to speak to the owner, who is the lady there with dark hair. they never bothered to call me back.

      I think their ontime policy only applies to customers but not them. This explained why the estheticians seem to always be looking at the clock and rushed, causing them to be more concerned about schedule and not customer satisfaction.
      The job is poorely done.

      Valeria is an amazing esthetician. Many of my friends had facials at her salon. Everybody was happy. I couldn't resist. She has European training, and her technique is the best. I would highly recommend Valeria. Office staff is very friendly and accommodating. Love this place!

      I have been going to Rescue Skin Care and Waxing Studio for about 6 months. There are so many things I love about this place. The moment you walk in your acknowledged and greeted with a big smile. They are always running on time. I work in the dental field, which means I am VERY critical about cleanliness and sanitation. Rescue Skin Care passes with flying colors (A++)!! I go to Val for my waxing. She is so sweet and friendly! I get lost in great conversation with her and I forget I'm getting waxed. She uses quality products, my skin never feels irritated and have yet to have an ingrown hair. The prices are very reasonable and I never feel like there is an up-sale to purchase other products or treatments. I feel very taken care of here and I feel they are truly appreciative of my business. This place is a must try! Check it out!

      I LOVE this place! I was in town for a week and decided to get my eyebrows waxed. I called at 1:00pm and got an appointment on the same day for 2:45. When I got there everything was clean and very neat. My eyebrow lady was so fun, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to (Valerie). I have fair skin so my skin tends to get very red when I get any waxing done but she knew what she was doing! Overall great experience and very affordable!
