  I got my facial done here and they were a very professional and good establishment.

  Excruciating but worth it if you need a lot of extractions. They will examine every pore! I have been here twice and after a week, my skin is near flawless. Don't expect a spa-like experience and feel pampered. This is a bare bones operation, so if you want relaxation, research other places.

  I'm so glad I gave Beauty Legend a try for a particularly troublesome spot on my face. I was a little skeptical at first since this was my first experience here, but I have to applaud KK for her service and expertise. I think the thing with facial is you're not really sure whether or not your troubles can be addressed until they see (or feel) what's going on on your skin. There's some places that offers consulting services, but with the pandemic, some places only do this online or over the phone, which may or may not even help. I gave Beauty Legend a call to book an appointment after reading about all the extraction experiences over on Yelp and Google and it seemed like a solid place to try. Originally, my appointment with KK was going to next Saturday, but I had let her know if any spots open up over this weekend, let me know. And thankfully, KK did fit me into her schedule for Sunday! Woohoo! Thank you so much, KK! As for service, I wasn't exactly sure which service package I needed. I wasn't even sure what the heck was going on with my skin at that particular spot. Thankfully, when KK felt it, she was able to easily pinpoint what I needed. It really was just a two minute treatment sort of thing, but I ended up going for the Super Hydrating Treatment experience since my facial was long overdue. Plus, my skin was a bit dry anyways. I was apprehensive going in to Beauty Legend because of the pandemic and all, but I feel Beauty Legend has their sanitation really down. Plexiglass was installed at the front desk. Service provided by appointment only so that they can limit the amount of people going in and out. My appointment was the first slot of the day, so it was just me and KK there. I felt safe, clean, and comfortable! The facial experience was great, relaxing, and much needed (except of course, the whiteheads, blackheads, and pimple extractions). She was really thorough with the extractions, moreso that any other place I went to. KK also informed me of some things I didn't know about my own skin, like how it scars easily. I may have been semi-aware of it, but was never outrightly told. Glad for the information! Also had great time just chit chatting with KK even though it was my first time here. She's really friendly, easy to talk to and relatable. After my Super Hydrating Treatment, she used a laser to treat the troublesome spot and told me what to expect, and how to treat it at home. All in all, a wonderful experience! I'll be coming back for a visit when I need another facial!

  I have been here for months for acne treatment. It's not easy at first for me to continue going but KK and CC are so encouraged and their skills are very good. I have severe acne and redness, but now with self control on diet, my face stop having inflamed acne and my face is smooth even after one month not doing extraction. Their product also fit me really well that my skills healed very fast and smooth outcome after extraction. Thank you for all of your services and support. I would recommend this place to whoever suffering acne problems like me.

  Last year 2020, my face was nasty and full of tiny whiteheads I couldn't get rid of no matter what products I used. I was referred to CeCe by a friend and when I say it was the best decision I could had made using beauty legends service, hands down I'm overly satisfied. My skin is so much healthier and everyday I wake up I'm glowing. I haven't seen a whitehead in months. Thank you CeCe!!

  This place takes appointments only, and door is always locked since Oakland is a bit of a battle zone right now. When you walk in it feels relaxing and calm though. The first appointment takes about two hours, so be prepared. However, these ladies know what they're doing, and I appreciate how they don't pressure you into buying products there and they're reasonably priced. They even gave me a sample moisturizer to use to keep up the clear skin they gave me. If you have problem acne/blackheads you should make an appointment with them now!

  As someone who has had horrible cystic acne growing up and still struggles with breakouts around that time of the month, I decided to give beauty legend a try. Beauty legend is the perfect combination of harsh and effective yet relaxing. I have found that for my particular skin needs a simple relaxing facial where the aesthetician just applies a variety of face masks does not cut it. I am someone who needs extractions and I must say that KK and CC are by far some of the most skilled and talented aestheticians! The acne facials can usually take an hour and a half or more, and usually start with cleansing the face, steaming, applying a face mask, washing off the face mask, extractions, two more face masks, a small shoulder massage, and face lotions to finish everything off. I must say however, that this facial is not for the faint of heart. The extractions are excruciatingly painful and will cause tears and a swollen face for at least 1-2 days. However, the painfulness of the extractions is the worst the first time you go and get less painful with more sessions. That being said, KK and CC make sure to get every last bit of dirt and clogged pores completely clean and even show you an unsightly tissue of all the extractions afterwards. Expect your face to scab a bit in the following day and be sore a tad, but don't worry because by the end of the week the scabs fall off and your face will be glowing!

  Was referred by a friend and KK helped me to do my facial. It is painful for the first time to clean my face but haven't done it for long time even before COVID 19. She spent almost 2 hours for my face and really care and listen to what my concern and apply appropriate treatment. Thanks!

  I was referred by a friend and KK sure did deliver! The salon is no-frills and unassuming, but you can tell this is high quality. I picked Beauty Legend because I needed a ton of extractions. I had gotten a lot of comedonal acne due to hormone changes and while the inflammed pimples had gone away, there was a lot of gunk under the skin. KK spent 2+ hours on the facial, at least an hour 1.5 hours were just extractions. She cleansed, exfoliated, extracted, and applied 2 different masks with an LED light. The reviews are right, these extractions are not for the faint of hearted. They were bearable though (didn't cry at all!) and extremely thorough. KK showed me what she extracted after and it was 4 toilet paper sheets worth of gunk....which was awesome. My face was a little swollen for 1.5-2 days and I had a bunch of spots that scabbed over. I looked crazy so don't get this facial done if you have important places to go that week. The scabs came off gradually over a few days and my skin looked GLOWING, despite the hyperpigmentation I had already had from previous breakouts. No purging, no nothing. Just clear pores and smooth skin. I will be back!

  I have had pretty severe acne problem from a young age and have been to multiple dermatologists/ beauticians in the past. KK is by far the one of the most and skilled aesthetician I have ever met. My face has improved tremendously from the first day I started doing facial with KK. I'm currently on my second package now and have been going pretty consistently. I would totally recommend KK and her team to anyone who wants a clear skin!

  I see results! When I get a facial, I want it to be relaxing but most importantly, I want to see results. And Beauty Legend delivers all of that. Both KK and CC are experienced estheticians will amazingly skilled hands, although I cannot see how their hands move during the process, I can feel it and I see results. As for the extractions, it's painful, very very painful. So, first timers, beware. You have been warned! If you're looking for a gentle facial with extractions, this is not the place for you. KK and CC do not play around when they're trying to get the gunk out of your face. I was amazed by how much gunk they extracted the first time. I've had many facials done in the past, but they do not come close to the amount they extract. My face usually gets slightly pink after the extractions and I see maximum results after 2-3 days. I've been here 10 times already and I just renewed my package with Beauty Legend.

  I wanted to start the new decade off right for me and my boo so I sought a deep cleanse facial with extractions service that had an excellent reputation. Beauty Legend is an unassuming spot nestled in Oakland Chinatown and the ladies were clearly experts in what they did. Unfortunately I didn't ask for names before we disrobed and assumed our positions, but we were able to get our facials done in adjacent beds at the same time which was very cool and nice of them to arrange. I won't go into too many details on the whole procedure, but it's definitely worth the money. For $100 each we did the whitening facial as that was the most basic facial they offered with extractions, and it was continuous rounds of masques, serums, massages, and cleanings that left my face feeling super renewed. Two things of note I especially enjoyed was the facial massage techniques - the lady working on me was firmly stroking my cheek with the left hand while rubbing around my eye with the other hand - which requires some good ambidexterity! - and the warm smooth wand they used to massage the whitening cream into my face. They used high quality, great smelling ingredients, and used perfect pressure. We did this on a Saturday morning and it was an excellent start to the weekend for us. I wish them a prosperous year with plenty of business, I'd love to come back when the time is right for my next deep cleansing!

  OMG!!!!!! Awesome awesome awesome!! Got the deep cleaning with CC and my skin has never glowed like this.. Extractions weren't as bad as I thought they would be. I do exfoliate and keep my skin moisturized so I believe that's what helped. Looking forward to a facial with KK next time. Try this place!

  MY SKIN IS SOOOOOO SMOOTH. CC did an amazing job with the extraction. Let me just tell you it hurt like a m****** f****** and tattoos don't hurt me so that should say a lot. If the mess is deep in your pores it'll probably hurt more. She doesn't mess around doesn't care about your pain because she's in it to take it ALL out. So suck it up and deal with it because it's all worth it in the end! Can't wait to go back for other services!

  I started coming here often since last year and I'm sure that I will still come here regularly in the future. Most places don't extract but they do! Which is helpful for my skin and I do see it gets better after every visit. I appreciate the service from both KK and CC. They are very responsible and caring. They do their best for their customers. Just one thing though, if it's your first visit, choose CC lol It would be less painful for you.
