Not sure what your skin needs? Aida starts every new client relationship with a free 30-minute consultation. She analyzes your skin in person, explains what she sees, and gives you a written treatment plan with pricing. No pressure, no commitment.
In-person review of your skin type, concerns, and history. Aida looks at texture, tone, hydration, breakouts, sensitivity, and signs of aging.
Aida explains which treatments are appropriate for your skin and why - facials, peels, microcurrent, LED, or electrolysis.
You leave with a clear written plan: what Aida recommends, in what order, how often, and what it costs. No surprises.
30 minutes is yours. Ask anything about your skin, the treatments, the ingredients, or the process.
Your free skin consultation is a 30-minute in-person appointment at Aida's studio in Irvine. It is not a sales conversation - it is a genuine clinical assessment of your skin conducted by a licensed cosmetologist who specializes in treating real skin concerns, not selling product packages.
Aida uses professional magnification to assess your skin type - oily, dry, combination, or sensitive - and identifies specific conditions: dehydration levels, pigmentation patterns (uneven tone, dark spots, sun damage), visible aging signs (fine lines, textural changes, loss of firmness), rosacea and persistent redness, acne tendency, and barrier damage. Many clients are surprised to learn that their skin is doing something different from what they assumed - oily skin, for instance, is often severely dehydrated underneath its surface oil layer.
She reviews your current products one by one: cleanser, toner, serums, moisturizer, SPF, treatments. She identifies what is working, what is likely neutral, and what may be actively causing problems - irritation, stripping, congestion, or sensitization. This product audit alone is valuable because most clients are unknowingly undermining their skin with mismatched formulas.
At the end of the consultation, Aida provides a written skincare protocol and treatment plan. The protocol covers home care: exactly what to use, in what order, and what to stop. The treatment plan covers professional services: which facials, peels, LED, or electrolysis sessions she recommends, in what order, and at what frequency. Pricing is included for every step so there are no surprises. No obligation to book at the appointment - but most clients do, because the plan is clear and they feel confident in it.
Acne is not a single condition - it includes comedonal congestion, inflammatory papules, hormonal breakouts, and post-acne dark marks. Aida identifies your specific acne pattern and the underlying drivers before recommending any treatment. The wrong treatment for the wrong acne type produces no results, or makes things worse.
Pigmentation from sun damage, hormonal shifts (melasma), post-acne marks, and aging all respond differently to treatment. Identifying the type of pigmentation is essential because the wrong approach - using strong exfoliation on melasma, for example - can worsen discoloration. Aida assesses the cause before recommending any brightening or resurfacing treatment.
Visible signs of aging - fine lines, textural changes, loss of firmness, crepe-like skin - respond to a range of professional treatments from chemical peels and microcurrent to collagen-stimulating facials. Aida assesses where your skin currently is and what it needs to produce visible improvement without being destabilized by treatments that are too aggressive for your skin's current condition.
Rosacea requires a completely different approach than standard esthetician work. Heat-based treatments, aggressive exfoliation, and many common skincare actives can trigger severe flares. Aida has experience with rosacea-prone skin and selects only calming, barrier-supporting treatments and products that manage symptoms without aggravating the condition.
Dehydration is among the most commonly misidentified skin conditions. It is not the same as dry skin - oily and combination skin types can be severely dehydrated. Signs include tight feeling after cleansing, dull or grey tone, fine surface lines that appear when skin is pressed, and makeup that sits unevenly. Proper hydration restoration transforms skin tone and texture faster than almost any other intervention.
Sensitive or reactive skin that stings, flushes, or breaks out in response to products requires careful selection of every ingredient in every product used. Many clients with "sensitive" skin are actually experiencing barrier dysfunction from over-exfoliation or incompatible product combinations. Aida identifies whether sensitivity is genuine or product-induced, and rebuilds the routine accordingly.
No package commitment required. Book one facial, one peel, or one electrolysis session and see how your skin responds before deciding on a series. This is the most common path for new clients who want to experience a treatment before committing to multiple sessions. Facials start from $105, peels from $95, electrolysis from $40.
For a specific goal - clearing acne, fading pigmentation, reducing fine lines, or permanent hair removal - a series of treatments spaced appropriately produces far better results than single sessions. Aida maps out a treatment sequence at the consultation and explains what progress to expect at each stage so you can track your results objectively rather than guessing.
Some clients leave the consultation with a revised home-care protocol and prefer to start there before booking any professional treatment. That is a completely valid choice. Aida's written skincare recommendations reflect your specific skin condition, not generic advice. For many clients, correcting their home routine alone produces significant improvement within weeks before any professional treatment begins.
Consultation is free. Facials from $105. Peels from $95. Electrolysis from $40. No packages required to get started.
