Venus is changing my life!

by erinaleta

I started seeing Venus in early 2009 after my skin had keratinized (was rough and rashy-looking) and nothing I tried would work. In a matter of months, my skin noticeably improved, and continues to improve with my daily regimine and my monthly visits. Not only has Venus helped my skin, she helped me to become gluten-free (which has not only helped my skin but my total well-being - I feel great!!), and helped me to discover I have hypothyroidism, for which I am now being treated. Her concern for my overall well-being is truly appreciated, and I am in awe of how much she has helped me in the short time I have known her. Love you Venus!!

• Pros: Awesome products! Great personality!
• Cons: Wish I lived closer!

I'm Not a Snake Anymore

by yas2009

I am 25 years old and have been dealing with acne problems since I was 14. At first I thought I just had pimples, but soon enough I realized this was more than your regular teenage growth. I went to my first dermatologist. I was prescribed some acne medicine that had to be refrigerated. I couldn't use dirty hands to apply it, I wasn't told how to remove it, and it eventually became too much work for a growing kid. I couldn’t be in the sun much, but luckily, I was going through an awkward goth phase where the sun wasn’t necessary. I kept it under control for a while after I quit, but eventually it hit me again, stronger and more resilient than the first. I went to another dermatologist who gave me a bunch of stuff, he was a nice doctor, cleared the acne. The problem was, I wasn’t told how to make my face feel normal. I felt scaly and dry. We even joked I was a snake. I went through a chemical peel that was painful and when I looked at myself in photographs, my face looked a different shade than the rest of my body.

I was in college and I visited some other dermatologist that isn’t even worth mentioning. It was this final so-called dermatologist that pushed me over to the anti-chemical side. It was less than a year ago in January, when I started searching for other options on the Internet. I found Venus. Ever since then, my face feels normal. I don’t feel dry and greasy anymore. My skin feels soft. I know how to wash my face properly and know how to maintain it day and night. I am so happy now. I am still working hard, but I am almost there. I know what foods can help irritate my face and what liquids may be better than others. It started out that the “pimple removal” part of the facial was the majority of the time. Now, I get to enjoy the calm soothing facial from Venus. Thank you Venus for everything.

• Pros: everything

Venus knows

by buffbeauty

I started to have monthly appointments with Venus DeMarco last June. Its been 10 months now and i continue to see improvement with my skin's health.

When i walked in I had large pores, sun damage, and I was very prone to blemishes. My face is 100% better now, for the first time in my life I have a skin care routine that i stick to, even when i go on vacation.

Venus told me what i had to do to get results, and is often the case, being consistent gets results. I'm very happy with my complexion now.

• Pros:  Great personal service
• Cons: expensive

Venus! They named a planet after her because she is so awesome!

by dancerjojo

I write this at the risk of telling too many people about how awesome Venus is and then making my appointment more difficult to schedule. Here's the deal, I moved from the west coast to Austin and my face EXPLODED. I had never had such teenage awful acne, even as a teen. Enter Venus. After giving me an incredibly deep facial (yes, extractions are a drag but just get over it because they make your skin glow) I started going to see Venus monthly. Now I rarely break out, can actually wear makeup (before I had just given it up but Venus turned me on the the awesomeness that is Jane Iredale), and people now stop me to tell my my skin looks great. Totally worth it, and you will have fun while you are there because she is just one of those fun, open people who likes her clients and really cares.

Truly the Best Facial in Austin

by MamaTia

I have been a client for at least a year now. The results are phenomenal! My once acne prone skin has been transformed into oh-so-soft silky smooth skin. I never thought it could be done, however, Venus has proved me wrong. I go once a month to keep on track with everything and discuss my routine with Venus to see if it needs any tweaking. The steps are so simply that it only adds a few minutes to my morning routine. Venus is such a warm-caring person and you can tell it is a labor of love. Go for your first facial with her and you'll never regret it!

I really love the location of her business. You are close to so many shops and restaurants. After your amazing trip down Facial Ln. you can go relax with a good book and yummy sandwich at the Cental Market Cafe just down the road or go perusing the shops on the drag which is just a hop skip and a jump away.

• Pros: Friendly, Great location, Variety of services, Products available
• Cons: NONE!

Amazing Results

by zeldagurl

I've been to numerous dermatologists and aestheticians over the last 10 plus years and none of them provided the results I received after just one visit with Venus; my skin looked and felt amazing! I've now had 3 facials with Venus and my complexion continues to improve. Her Phytomer products help me to maintain a soft, dewy complexion between visits, especially the anti-ageing line Vie. I'm looking forward to my next facial with her as each one leaves my skin looking more radiant. Venus' extensive knowledgeable about skin care coupled with her sincere care for her clients makes her the best in her field. I highly recommend her to anyone serious about skincare!

• Pros: Expertise, Comfortable atmosphere, Excellent Care

Thank you VENUS

by carterman

My wife purchased a G.C. to see Venus.

I was apprehensive at first because I am such a manly man.

However once I arrived and had the incredible experience of meeting her she made me feel at ease and welcome just as if I was a guest in her home. Her line of skincare for men is the best I?ve ever had and the entire facial from start to finish left me with a feeling of calmness and increased energy.

The BEST facial in town

by janelly

I just left Venus' office & I feel like a new woman. Having the furnace on & off the past few weeks has wreaked havoc on my skin. I had dry patches that my regular facial scrub didn't take care of. She gave me tips on how to prevent that (besides drinking more water since I already drink a gallon a day) without adding a lot of steps to my minimalist skin care routine.

Venus is knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and the best esthetician I've ever been to. You can't go wrong with a facial from her-she's highly recommended!!

Excellent Treatment by a Thorough Professional

by aditijoshi

I heard about Venus through her loyal friend and equally loyal client. She said that," once you go to Venus, you don't go anywhere else" . Although it seemed more like a dialogue out of The GodFather than a recommendation, I decided to book an appointment.

D-I-V-I-N-E to say the least is my experience of her treatment.

Venus KNOWS skincare!!! And she doesn?t brag about it. Her indepth knowledge paired with her decades of experience result in a thorough scientific approach and feel like the best stress reducing and peaceful facial.

Within five minutes of meeting Venus, she knew what my problems were and suggested a course of action with various options.

There was no sales talk about buying products but I gleaned a lot of information on how to maintain my skin.

Another aspect which I liked about her treatment was that it was personal and she prefers to have a small operation so that she can give her best to every client.

My hour long Purifying Acne Facial flew by like 5 minutes as she cleaned and gently treated my skin.

At the end of the shortest one hour ever, my skin felt relaxed and hydrated and was glowing.

Since then I have returned for the Lymphatic Drainage Facial which has helped to detox my skin a lot and a few other facials to maintain the appearance of my skin.

Now I know why ?once you go to Venus, you don't go anywhere else?

• Pros: service, value
• Cons: none
