Ok, here’s my story…I have “mature skin”, am 63 years old, blonde with fair, very sensitive skin and decades of unprotected sun bathing at the beach. The perfect storm. I had all but given up being, literally, comfortable in my skin. I spent years and a small fortune trying to sort this out. Enter, Liz. I’m no longer fighting daily inflammation and irritation. Her recommendations for products have been excellent. Finally I don’t have to worry about a rash or burn from a moisturizer or sunscreen. Her facials always give me the jump start with the deep cleaning that I need to stay on top of my sensitivity. And, let’s face it, having someone examine my face under lights is not something I looked forward to. That is, until I met Liz. I’ve made my share of skin blunders but that is not important. What is important is she wants only the best for me and is there to help me achieve that. Liz understands the importance of my “outside” but never forgets the person inside. If there were more stars, I would give them to her.

Liz is truly magical!! I can’t say enough about her professionalism, expertise and knowledge when it comes to skin care. I broke out with cystic acne outrageously a few months ago. A good friend of mine recommended Liz as she and her siblings have been going to skin deep beauty for years. After trying everything and I mean everything under the sun, I finally made an appointment with her. She worked with me patiently and had more faith in me than I did. Within 8 weeks, most of the cysts has gone and amazingly I am not left with much scars either. Liz hasn’t just changed my skin care routine but my entire lifestyle for better!! She is like a personal coach and is always available to guide you whenever in need.

Liz,
Geez – I cannot get over how amazing Ecksteins Hamamelis lotion is; I used it on some problem areas & they clear within a day. Great stuff! Thanks for stocking this. – Ken S.
Dear Liz,
I first want to thank you for a “hard work” facial. It is a huge relief to feel clean and rejuvenated. I actually could see a difference in the mirror this morning-a brighter appearance, although prefer not to have my glasses on to observe increasing wrinkles these last few years. The security to know that people aren’t feeling sorry for me for hairs on my face and neck creates confidence. The massage to my arthritic feet and neck was marvelous; you have strong hands for a little lady ! How gifted and talented you are and I am so glad that I found you!

After envying my friend’s beautiful complexion for years, I finally took the plunge (and her recommendation) and went to see Liz. Rosacea has been the bane of my existence for many years but with Liz’ help it is under control now and I’ve never looked better. Now I am the one my other friends envy!

I highly recommend Liz at Skin Deep! She is very knowledgeable, honest and a true professional! I have been going to Liz for my facials, waxing and product needs for over 20 years. I always know I’m going to feel good after I leave! Liz has high quality standards and manages her business well. She is very responsive to calls, confirms appointments prior and is usually always on time. Her new place is very welcoming and cozy. I appreciate her sick policy which basically asks you to reschedule if you aren’t feeling well. Thanks, Liz-you’re the best!
– A R., San Jose, CA
Hi Liz,
I just wanted to thank you for substituting product when the product I ordered was not available and to let you know that I really appreciate your personal hand written notes! I’m very happy with all of the products and will continue to order from your website in the future.
Thanks again,
– Kelley
Yelp Testimonial
If there were 6 stars available for this fabulously talented esthetician, I would certainly award them. Basically, I started seeing Liz for facials a little over a year ago, after being diagnosed with Rosacea. As a result, I didn’t want to go by way of the RX approach for this, but chose to deal with this problem naturally.
Upon first visiting Liz, not only did she provide a wonderfully soothing & relaxing facial, but she also backed this up with suggesting helpful dietary changes as well as really educating me about good skincare; in following this advice, along with the soothingly effective facials, and use of great products at home, I now sport a super-clear complexion along with a renewed smile on my face!
And even though I have moved to the East Bay area recently, I still travel to SJ to see Liz. She’s that good!
Yelp Testimonial
I have been a client of Skin Deep for almost 6 years. Liz is truly amazing. She has absolutely transformed my skin. When I first started seeing her I was prone to regular and cystic acne, had minor scarring and had never had my brows or any waxing done. The scarring from the cystic acne is now nearly invisible and barely visible even up close. And NO ONE but Liz is entrusted with my brows and/or any other waxing needs.
I receive so many compliments on my skin. People are often shocked to learn my age. Without fail, I recommend Liz, her wonderful services and products. Even my mom is now a convert, not too long ago she commented that my skin looked so good and asked which makeup/products I was using. I said “Mom, I don’t wear foundation, that’s my skin!” She was stunned and immediately switched over to Liz’s extensive product line. Within a day she couldn’t believe the changes in the condition of her own skin. Over the years several friends I’ve introduced to Skin Deep now SWEAR by Liz for all their skin care and waxing needs.
It is rare to find someone so knowledgeable, professional and passionate about what they do. Liz is one of a kind! If you have any issues with your skin do not hesitate to try Skin Deep, you won’t regret it!
I have known Liz Wist since the early 1990’s and can say from personal experience that she is one of the most experienced Estheticians around.
She has a knack for making a person feel special, working one on one in a serene private setting. My skin always looks and feels wonderful.
The treatments are restorative, relaxing, and healing. I highly recommend her services and products to anyone who seeks better skin!
– Sharon
Liz is most certainly a true shaman of the skin! I found out about MEWIST about a year ago upon first finding out that I had Rosacea. For some strange reason, most Aesthetician’s I spoke with had little experience in working with Rosacea clients. But upon finding Liz, I knew I had discovered a wellspring of help and information with regard to Rosacea. Liz will really go the extra mile with you when it comes to educating you on good skincare, as well as making other lifestyle changes which may benefit your skin condition. In the short time I have spent coming to Liz for facials and products, I have already noticed a marked improvement with my complexion, especially the size of the pores on my nose which have tightened and reduced noticeably in size. I also wanted to mention that I absolutely LOVE the products I am using and will never purchase another drugstore over the counter product (which never worked) again! Thank you, liz!!!
– Ken Souza
“I just wanted to say thank you. You have been my faithful Aesthetician for many years now . . . since 1994 I believe. I remember the date because it was my plastic surgeon who recommended your makeup after surgery. If it covered bruises from surgery . . . it would cover everything. You are a true professional! Thanks Again!”
– Pam Brown (your KY client)
OMG you wouldn’t believe how well my skin is doing with the new wax. I love it!!
I just wanted to let everyone know that Liz has a new green wax from Australia that is absolutely amazing. My skin tends to turn pretty red after I get waxed but this new stuff kept me from getting blotchy. If you are looking for a wax that is gentle on the skin, then you should try this. I highly advise you make an appointment with Liz and try her new wax!!
Thanks Liz!!!
– Krista, a regular Skin Deep customer
I’m getting very good result from the treatment last weekend. At the beginning it doesn’t appear to be effective, but by now most of my acne is gone and new ones haven’t started yet. I’d like to have more!
– Chun Zhang
I started going to Liz almost a year ago and at first I was pretty nervous. You never know what you are going to get these days when you ask for a Brazilian wax. Well, Liz was making sure I was comfortable the whole time. She was so precise and confident. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to get a waxing service. She is pleasant to be around and always makes you feel safe and welcome. I will definitely continue going to Liz for as long as she is around. It is hard to find someone you can trust and do the job right and I am fortunate enough to have found her!!! Thanks Liz!!
– Krista, a regular Skin Deep customer
I have been visiting Liz for acne facials for several months. Acne has been a problem for me for over 10 years. Liz’s series of acne facials are able to put the problem under control. It is joyful to visit Liz every time. She clearly loves her work, and is dedicated to her clients. Her holistic approach of treating acne combined with her care for clients is something I didn’t find in the treatments that I experienced before. Through the facial series, we can experiment with various ways/products that would work best for me. I’m looking forward to continuing to improve my acne.
– Chun
I have known Liz for about 15 years as both a client and a friend. Liz is a true professional, with her over 32 years of experience and education in skin care she has seen it all and knows how to deal with almost any type of skin problem. Her many years of hands on experience is very evident in the way that she approaches helping people with all of their skin problems. Thanks Liz for your very real desire to help people!
– Sharon
After knowing Liz over 10 years, from the perspective of an employee to now a client, I would say that I know a great deal about the Skin Deep business practices. As my manager, Liz was the most memorable supervisor I have ever had. The standards that Skin Deep holds are of the top level in the industry. I am a repeat client of almost all of her esthetic services from waxing (brow, lip, arm, underarm, leg, bikini) to the wide range of Fantastic Facials she offers.
I am a 28 year old professional woman involved in high-end, graphic design consulting. My appearance means a great deal to me, both personally and professionally. I have oily skin and have suffered from acne, scars, and hormone/stress induced breakouts ever since junior high. Liz always gave me 110% of her focus when I had a question and made me feel “purified” after each and every appointment. Her level of expertise, product knowledge and professionalism are something that people rarely find in businesses these days. She has all of her processes streamlined and done for specific reasons: to offer the best products and one of kind attention through her hands-on service approach. I LOVE IT! She is the most organized, intuitive, intelligent, anti-bacterial person I have ever met. I feel lucky to have worked with her behind the scenes at Skin Deep and now on the other end as one of her clients.
For many more years to come!!

“I am an RN in an Open Heart Unit and find that this make-up (Cinema Secrets) stays on for my twelve hour shifts!”
– A Satisfied Customer
I’m a long-time client of Liz – gosh, it’s been 17 years now! – and I can’t say enough about her skill as an aesthetician. From acne control facials to bikini waxes to custom-formulated makeup, all my experiences at Skin Deep have been exceptional. Even bikini waxes involve an absolute minimum of discomfort and are quick and very well done.
Keep up the good work and thanks for all the great service!
I am really impressed with how quickly my rosacea skin condition has improved. After only one treatment from Liz, the difference is very visible. When I first decided to address my long term skin condition, I called several places in the yellow pages. Liz was the only one who could speak to me intelligently about rosacea. I’m really looking forward to the progress I’m going to make in the coming six months with Liz’s monthly treatments.
– Danita Bratcher
Dear Liz,
I so needed this facial today…I am so relaxed and I enjoyed it more then I ever have. Thank you! You are one of the reasons WHY I don’t want to move to Oregon . . . the others (doc, dentist) can be replace . . . you can’t. Even though I’d consider you my friend and will always be in contact – it would just be different and I would so miss these monthly appointments.
You’ve not only become my friend, confidant, but also one that have performed miracles to make me longer then my 44 years.
Thank You!
– Cathy
Dear Mary Elizabeth,
Thank you for your prompt attention to the order for Brenda Christian brow pencils . . . they just arrived.
While I have been involved in the Cosmetics business for many tears as a retailer and manufacturer, and have know men who personally used woman’s cosmetic and treatment products, these pencils are for my wife who has been using this brand of pencil for years. She was like the lady in the Dallas article. She was down to a tiny stub and couldn’t find them anywhere. So I was happy to find your site and order from you.
Best wishes,
– A Satisfied Customer
First I wanted to tell you how happy and great I felt after having my first facial ever! It was wonderful . . .
I was so excited for the evening to come and to begin my new regime and the same for this AM . . .
No more HOT water for me! My face feels better already.
Thanks again!
– Lisa
I have traveled from Santa Cruz to San Jose to see Liz for eyebrow design and maintenance for over three years now. I make the trip every THREE weeks! I had the worst eyebrows. They were over -plucked, tweezed, crooked, too short, too thin . . . need I say more? I couldn’t believe what happened when I started to see Liz. I am literally a new person. I had never realized what a huge difference the way your eyebrows were shaped, colored, etc. could make in the way you look, and feel about yourself!
I was instructed to leave my brows alone, and let her do the work. It was really hard to stop my daily habit of over tweezing my eyebrows. I was obsessed! But through her careful guidance, I broke the habit, and they started to grow. Hair by hair they slowly came back in. Liz waxed, tweezed, trimmed, and colored them in order to give them a new life.
I am truly a different person because of the experience! I’ve changed my hair, lost weight, and started to take a closer look at the condition of my skin. I get compliments on a regular basis on my face. People say “you look great!’ What are you doing?” Little do they know, it all started with an eyebrow appointment 3 years ago that changed my life!
Thank-you, Liz !
Sincerely,
– Suzanne
P. S. I’ve referred several friends who also thought there was no hope for their brows!
For 15 years I have had a skin condition where I have scaly, bumpy protrusions on my face that last from 3 to 15 years each and look like I have leprosy. I began using Azulen Paste, manufactured by Dr. R.A. Eckstein, that is only sold in the U.S. by Liz (I was chasing around Europe trying to find it as I knew it was made in Germany, when I found that she had it right here in California). Using the cream has been an absolute miracle for me as I had tried dozens of things without success and the medical doctors had no help other than cortisone. The clearing works slowly and steadily and the spots dry up. Wonderful!
– Frances Strassman
My roommate has been going to Liz for years and I always complimented her on how good her skin looks. She referred me to Liz about 6 months ago and I haven’t turned back. My skin has improved dramatically and every time I go to see her it only gets better. My mother is so amazed by what Liz has done with my skin that she now wants to go and see Liz too.
Thank you Liz for being so wonderful!
– Jennifer Winger
Liz makes her expertise and experience available to me via consult, as I live on the east coast. She has helped me obtain truly amazing results in my skin over the past year that she’s worked with me. Her recommendations are spot on 🙂 and the products she offers are luxurious and really work. When I contacted Liz, my rosacea had gotten so severe that I was even afraid to wash my face because it was so dry, red, flaky, and broken out. The products I’d used for years were just no longer working. Amazingly, my rosacea was well controlled within just a few weeks of following her recommended regime. Within 3 months my skin looked better than it had in years. The products she offers are luxurious and really work. She goes over how to use each one and how they work together. Also always fun are the gifts and free samples she slips into my orders so getting my beautifully wrapped products is even more fun! Thanks Liz, for being there for me. – Susan Saxon

I was first referred to Liz in 1995, when I was fourteen. Her knowledge of the skin helped my dry, sensitive, blemished skin immensely. Every time I leave from a facial my skin feels fresh and rejuvenated. Her services have been a wonderful alternative to dermatology as a way to relieve my teen age skin problems.
– Beth Arms
I have experienced acne since I was eleven years old. At the age of 25 it progressed into full-blown cystic acne. I suffered through my twenties and into my mid-thirties with the problem. I tried over-the-counter preparations and professional services and products, antibiotics and other medications from the dermatologist and facials and skin care from estheticians. Nothing seemed to help. This year my skin was so bad I was in constant pain. My nail lady referred me to Liz Wist at Skin Deep. She had heard of her success with acne and knew of her result-oriented skin care practice in downtown Campbell. I decided to give it a try – a last resort. Was I surprised?! Liz took a holistic approach to the condition, and through a combination of facials, incredible professional custom blended skin-care products that address my personal needs – from cleansers to masks to foundation and a serious home care regime I have seen incredible results. After only one facial I saw an un! ! believable improvement. I hope that other people who suffer with acne will read this and have hope that they too can have healthy skin and feel much better about themselves in a really fast time – if they commit to a program and stay with it.
I now see Liz at her Park Avenue office in San Jose and I am able to come once a month a follow a simple home care program.

Not only have my pores already become visibly smaller, but the redness is decreasing as well. Liz has put me on a skin regimen that is very easy to follow and has been wonderful! I also go to Liz for my waxing needs as well. What I love most about the waxing is that she makes my eyebrows look so natural. I get compliments from so many people that my eyebrows look great! I love the fact that I can compliment Liz for my skin and my eyebrows! Thank you Liz for being so wonderful!
All the best,

They were over -plucked, tweezed, crooked, too short, too thin . . . need I say more? I couldn’t believe what happened when I started to see Liz. I am literally a new person. I had never realized what a huge difference the way your eyebrows were shaped, colored, etc. could make in the way you look, and feel about yourself!
I was instructed to leave my brows alone, and let her do the work. It was really hard to stop my daily habit of over tweezing my eyebrows. I was obsessed! But through her careful guidance, I broke the habit, and they started to grow. Hair by hair they slowly came back in. Liz waxed, tweezed, trimmed, and colored them in order to give them a new life.
I am truly a different person because of the experience! I’ve changed my hair, lost weight, and started to take a closer look at the condition of my skin. I get compliments on a regular basis on my face. People say “you look great!’ What are you doing?” Little do they know, it all started with an eyebrow appointment 3 years ago that changed my life!
Thank-you, Liz !
Sincerely,
– Suzanne
P. S. I’ve referred several friends who also thought there was no hope for their brows!
My roommate has been going to Liz for years and I always complimented her on how good her skin looks. She referred me to Liz about 6 months ago and I haven’t turned back. My skin has improved dramatically and every time I go to see her it only gets better. My mother is so amazed by what Liz has done with my skin that she now wants to go and see Liz too. Not only have my pores already become visibly smaller, but the redness is decreasing as well. Liz has put me on a skin regimen that is very easy to follow and has been wonderful! I also go to Liz for my waxing needs as well. What I love most about the waxing is that she makes my eyebrows look so natural. I get compliments from so many people that my eyebrows look great! I love the fact that I can compliment Liz for my skin and my eyebrows! Thank you Liz for being so wonderful!
All the best,
– Jennifer Winger
I found Liz through the Yellow Pages by chance 2 years ago after watching a spot on The View about professional eyebrow shaping. I loved my new eye brows after having bushy, shapeless brows for 30 years! I’ve since brought my teenage son in for his brows and acne skin care treatments and products. We now both come in every few weeks. We both just love Liz. She is such a warm and friendly person. I highly recommend her. We will be coming back for years to come!

I began seeing Elizabeth Wist in 1991 for facials. In 1994 I was transferred to a new division my company started in Cupertino. I decided since Campbell was a little awkward to get to from Cupertino, I’d drive right down the road to a well-known established day spa in Saratoga for my facials. After spending over $2000, I realized I had made a huge mistake. The aestheticians I saw were not interested in helping me establish a skin care program. I soon returned to Elizabeth Wist.
Liz has taken an active role in the progress of my skin. I see her once or twice a month for facials and follow a regime she has put together for me. When I first returned to her, my skin was a mess and she actually recommended I see an acupuncturist in conjunction with her facials. She put my need before her profit and wanted to see my skin healed. I saw the results rather quickly by seeing the acupuncturist three times a week and Liz twice a month. With all her experience, training, and traveling the world in her constant search for new and better products, Liz is solely responsible for the great skin I have today. I have gone on holiday to many spas around the world and Liz is a premier aesthetician.
I also use Liz for my leg waxing needs. The wax she imports is incredible and I wouldn’t have anyone else perform this service. She is the most knowledgeable person I have ever known in the area of skin care. One thing always comes to mind when thinking of Elizabeth Wist; I know I am in the hands of an expert when I’m under her care.

I’ve been coming to Liz for years for facials and brow waxing. When Liz shapes my brows, people always notice and compliment me on them. The foot massage is also awesome.
Thanks Liz!

Liz makes her expertise and experience available to me via consult, as I live on the east coast. She has helped me obtain truly amazing results in my skin over the past year that she’s worked with me. Her recommendations are spot on 🙂 and the products she offers are luxurious and really work. When I contacted Liz, my rosacea had gotten so severe that I was even afraid to wash my face because it was so dry, red, flaky, and broken out. The products I’d used for years were just no longer working. Amazingly, my rosacea was well controlled within just a few weeks of following her recommended regime. Within 3 months my skin looked better than it had in years. The products she offers are luxurious and really work. She goes over how to use each one and how they work together. Also always fun are the gifts and free samples she slips into my orders so getting my beautifully wrapped products is even more fun! Thanks Liz, for being there for me. – Susan Saxon

Ok, here’s my story…I have “mature skin”, am 63 years old, blonde with fair, very sensitive skin and decades of unprotected sun bathing at the beach. The perfect storm. I had all but given up being, literally, comfortable in my skin. I spent years and a small fortune trying to sort this out. Enter, Liz. I’m no longer fighting daily inflammation and irritation. Her recommendations for products have been excellent. Finally I don’t have to worry about a rash or burn from a moisturizer or sunscreen. Her facials always give me the jump start with the deep cleaning that I need to stay on top of my sensitivity. And, let’s face it, having someone examine my face under lights is not something I looked forward to. That is, until I met Liz. I’ve made my share of skin blunders but that is not important. What is important is she wants only the best for me and is there to help me achieve that. Liz understands the importance of my “outside” but never forgets the person inside. If there were more stars, I would give them to her. – Donna B., San Jose, CA
I found Liz by way of my husband. After I had my first son 5 years ago, I developed brown spots from the pregnancy and I was desperate for help. The first time I went to Skin Deep I felt like I found a new home. Liz was caring, comforting, and made me feel right at home. The best part was her healing hands and her knowledge of products. She does not push her products, but merely is trying to help her clients better their overall appearance. I would highly recommend her and in all my travels have never found anyone close to matching her expertise.
Thanks Liz

Liz,
Geez – I cannot get over how amazing Ecksteins Hamamelis lotion is; I used it on some problem areas & they clear within a day. Great stuff! Thanks for stocking this. – Ken S.

If there were 6 stars available for this fabulously talented esthetician, I would certainly award them. Basically, I started seeing Liz for facials a little over a year ago, after being diagnosed with Rosacea. As a result, I didn’t want to go by way of the RX approach for this, but chose to deal with this problem naturally.
Upon first visiting Liz, not only did she provide a wonderfully soothing & relaxing facial, but she also backed this up with suggesting helpful dietary changes as well as really educating me about good skincare; in following this advice, along with the soothingly effective facials, and use of great products at home, I now sport a super-clear complexion along with a renewed smile on my face!
And even though I have moved to the East Bay area recently, I still travel to SJ to see Liz. She’s that good !
“Liz is most certainly a true shaman of the skin! I found out about MEWIST about a year ago upon first finding out that I had Rosacea. For some strange reason, most Aesthetician’s I spoke with had little experience in working with Rosacea clients. But upon finding Liz, I knew I had discovered a wellspring of help and information with regard to Rosacea. Liz will really go the extra mile with you when it comes to educating you on good skincare, as well as making other lifestyle changes which may benefit your skin condition. In the short time I have spent coming to Liz for facials and products, I have already noticed a marked improvement with my complexion, especially the size of the pores on my nose which have tightened and reduced noticeably in size. I also wanted to mention that I absolutely LOVE the products I am using and will never purchase another drugstore over the counter product (which never worked) again! Thank you, liz!!!” – Ken Souza
Dear Liz,
I just wanted to thank you again and put in writing what I expressed to you during my last visit.
Being a male, it is difficult for us to openly research and discuss skin care products. This is an area that most of us don’t have much interest or expertise. As we grow older, proper skin care becomes important to maintaining our appearance and our health. Given that I grew up with acne I had some experience and education about skin care and skin care products. Over the past 15 ears I have tried a number of different manufactures’ products that ranged from exclusive high end brand names to those that are sold through independent sales consultants. After years of trials, nothing seemed to work.
I decided to seek professional assistance through licensed esthetician. I think it is important to note that my skin is not bad, in fact it is much better than most, I just wanted to rid myself of some minor imperfections caused from my acne years and to develop a skin care routine that is simple and effective. I experimented with weeks of Glycolic Acid Peels and a year of schedules visits that resulted in very little improvement. After this, I could not relate to why women thought that facials were so critical to maintaining a good complexion or such a relaxing and satisfying experience. It appeared to me as a waste of money.
Everything changed after meeting you. After experiencing one of your facials I was a changed man. In a single visit you corrected the blemishes that I had so desperately tried to remove for the past years. You introduced me to products that I could instantly tell complimented the chemistry of my skin and were easy-to-use. More importantly I finally experienced the “event” that women so fondly speak of. It’s difficult to point to the highlight of your facial, was it the facial or the upper body massage or the final result. I have concluded that it’s the total package that makes your experience so satisfying. The amazing thing is I came in expecting a standard facial.
Liz, your knowledge of skin care and your choice of products are far superior to all others. Your attention to details and the overall experience that you provide is something I would highly recommend to anyone that was interested in a healthier complexion or those that just want to spend an hour relaxing.
It is absolutely my pleasure to recommend you to anyone interested in a life enriching experience.
Sincerely,
– Robert N. Gunn

Writing a testimonial for Liz’s work is not easy because I have so many good things to say about her and her work that I don’t know where to begin. I met Liz last December when I was looking for a place to get facials to prep my skin for my upcoming wedding in October. I looked around on the web, and saw Liz’s name, because it was close to where I worked, I picked up the phone and called her. She was very nice over the phone and knowing that she’s in charge and will be doing the facial herself, I gave it a try. My first visit, Liz did a skin analysis for me and recommended some at home products to use along with the in-between facial visits. Now you would think the at home products will be very tedious, but Liz and I were able to get a 3-step routine (less than 3 minutes) that was suitable for me. For the next 3 months, with the combination of home products and monthly facial visits, my acne and blemishes clear up drastically.
Now, this is where Liz is good at, she first recommended products that worked with the blemish problem then she gradually helped me switch to products that will nourish my skin. Yet, I was able to continue using the old products, which is important to me because the product’s shelf life is longer. During each facial visit, she would first evaluate my skin and then preps the masks and her routine according to my current skin condition. This is because of Liz’s years of experience, each client is different and the client’s facial visit is different each time. By purchasing a series of 8 facials, I was able to experience the difference that Liz made for my skin. It’s been about 6 months of home routines and 7 facials, needless to say, my skin looks very healthy and I am very happy with the progress. It’s so easy to wear makeup now, I just need a little bit of foundation to even out the skin tone, and some lipstick, and I am ready to go out. Of course, with nice healthy glowing skin, I have the freedom to try different makeup style. Having good skin is not a mystery; you just need a good coach to help you get there. Thank you so much Liz for sharing your knowledge with me!

“I just wanted to say thank you. You have been my faithful Aesthetician for many years now . . . since 1994 I believe. I remember the date because it was my plastic surgeon who recommended your makeup after surgery. If it covered bruises from surgery . . . it would cover everything. You are a true professional! Thanks Again!”
– Pam Brown (your KY client)
OMG you wouldn’t believe how well my skin is doing with the new wax. I love it!!
I just wanted to let everyone know that Liz has a new green wax from Australia that is absolutely amazing. My skin tends to turn pretty red after I get waxed but this new stuff kept me from getting blotchy. If you are looking for a wax that is gentle on the skin, then you should try this. I highly advise you make an appointment with Liz and try her new wax!!
Thanks Liz!!!
– Krista, a regular Skin Deep customer
I’m getting very good result from the treatment last weekend. At the beginning it doesn’t appear to be effective, but by now most of my acne is gone and new ones haven’t started yet. I’d like to have more!
– Chun Zhang
I started going to Liz almost a year ago and at first I was pretty nervous. You never know what you are going to get these days when you ask for a Brazilian wax. Well, Liz was making sure I was comfortable the whole time. She was so precise and confident. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to get a waxing service. She is pleasant to be around and always makes you feel safe and welcome. I will definitely continue going to Liz for as long as she is around. It is hard to find someone you can trust and do the job right and I am fortunate enough to have found her!!! Thanks Liz!!
– Krista, a regular Skin Deep customer
I have known Liz for about 15 years as both a client and a friend. Liz is a true professional, with her over 32 years of experience and education in skin care she has seen it all and knows how to deal with almost any type of skin problem. Her many years of hands on experience is very evident in the way that she approaches helping people with all of their skin problems. Thanks Liz for your very real desire to help people!
– Sharon
After knowing Liz over 10 years, from the perspective of an employee to now a client, I would say that I know a great deal about the Skin Deep business practices. As my manager, Liz was the most memorable supervisor I have ever had. The standards that Skin Deep holds are of the top level in the industry. I am a repeat client of almost all of her esthetic services from waxing (brow, lip, arm, underarm, leg, bikini) to the wide range of Fantastic Facials she offers.
I am a 28 year old professional woman involved in high-end, graphic design consulting. My appearance means a great deal to me, both personally and professionally. I have oily skin and have suffered from acne, scars, and hormone/stress induced breakouts ever since junior high. Liz always gave me 110% of her focus when I had a question and made me feel “purified” after each and every appointment. Her level of expertise, product knowledge and professionalism are something that people rarely find in businesses these days. She has all of her processes streamlined and done for specific reasons: to offer the best products and one of kind attention through her hands-on service approach. I LOVE IT! She is the most organized, intuitive, intelligent, anti-bacterial person I have ever met. I feel lucky to have worked with her behind the scenes at Skin Deep and now on the other end as one of her clients.
For many more years to come!!

Dear Mary Elizabeth,
Thank you for your prompt attention to the order for Brenda Christian brow pencils…they just arrived.
While I have been involved in the Cosmetics business for many tears as a retailer and manufacturer, and have know men who personally used women’s cosmetic and treatment products, these pencils are for my wife who has been using this brand of pencil for years. She was like the lady in the Dallas article. She was down to a tiny stub and couldn’t find them anywhere. So I was happy to find your site and order from you.
Best wishes,
– A Satisfied Customer

I found Liz through a friend/client of Liz. I knew this woman went for the best care and treatment for herself so I asked her to recommend someone I could go to for skin care. Liz is an ardent student of skin care – she is my authority on the subject. She is truly interested in me as a client and we have developed a friendship as well. I am grateful to have found such a person to respect, admire, and receive the benefits of her vast knowledge.
– Mary Smith
I worked for Liz-Skin Deep in 94. Since then I’ve been a client because of Liz’s quality of work. The care and attention she devotes to each client is almost as appreciated as her extensive experience in skin care.

Skin Deep is the best kept secret in the Bay Area. Liz’s attention to service and her never ending supply of knowledge keep her at the forefront of the skin health industry. Her Dr. Hauschka facial will have you hooked for life.
