Beauty & Spas in San Gabriel

All the laser-centric treatments at Fix Laser Skin Center are performed by either a board-certified physician or registered nurses. Backed by years of education and experience, staff members wield the GentleLase and GentleMax lasers to eradicate persistent acne or purge unwanted hair from bodies. Licensed massage therapists draw on a variety of modalities to soothe muscles after tough workouts at the gym or stressful days of wheeling around a meat cart. Skin-tightening treatments supplement newly hair- or acne-free bodies by reducing the appearance of cellulite with the GentleYAG laser.

Sonja Sadi, a certified and licensed nail technician, draws on more than 22 years of experience when shaping, filing, and polishing nails using products from Zoya, Qtica, Minx, and CND Shellac. When scheduling appointments, clients can opt to relax at her station in Refuge Salon and Spa, covering nails with intricate designs and patterns from Minx, including stripes and animal prints.

Internationally trained beauty expert Gohar Thomas, owner of Carole Franck Beaute Clinique & Spa, boasts 28 years of industry experience including a two-decade stint as head aesthetician at Harrods of London. From within a brightly colored cottage, Gohar integrates European spa products she’s accrued through years of international training into an array of cosmetic services performed amid fresh flowers and streams of natural light. She supervises licensed aestheticians as they perform facials with Carole Franck products, etch color onto lips and around eyes with permanent makeup, and target cellulite with aesthetic technology. The bodily cosseting continues in a private massage room, which shelters a massage table and a bathtub surrounded by candles that allows clients to relax before or after their treatment with a soak attuned to the temperature of a bubbling spring or a pot of freshly boiled hot-dog water.

Dr. Saul Lahijani draws upon extensive experience and education as he works to help clients achieve their aesthetic dreams. He began his education at USC, where he earned his undergraduate degree before obtaining a doctorate of medicine at Ross University School of Medicine, finishing at the top of his class. He next performed several residencies at Yale and Vanderbilt, before staying an international fellowship in Barcelona. Today, he welcomes patients into his clinic for non-invasive and surgical treatments, wielding lasers and scalpels to sculpt bodies with the precision of a bionic Michelangelo.

The aestheticians at Orchid Skin Care keep clients at their most beautiful with personalized services for the whole body. Using exclusively Yon-Ka skincare products, the staffers regenerate faces with facials, peels, and microdermabrasion treatments backed by nourishing botanicals. Meanwhile, eyelash extensions and permanent makeup enhance facial features without the hassle of morning cosmetics routines. The experts also melt tension through aroma-infused massages and wraps, and spray tanning imbues skin with a UV-free bronze glow to help prepare for trips to the beach or attempts to infiltrate the Olympics as a third-place medal.

Though V MedSpa’s clients will feel soothed by a trickling fountain, natural fragrant oils, and a peaceful soundtrack, they may never see the spa’s most comforting facet. A doctor is always onsite, overseeing licensed and well-trained therapists and spa technicians as they perform an expansive list of cosmetic services. Manning lasers, high-tech hand pieces, and pulsed light, medical staff flatten unwanted curves, smooth cellulite, and erase skin imperfections. Because they want each and every client to feel confident and in control of their treatment, the team members also take the time to present patients with a list or a choreographed song-and-dance number that illustrates their options and to answer any questions they may have about their expected results.
