European Facials by Dzialo

04/14/2008 Posted by BmrGrl4LF

I’m a thirty year old woman and have struggled with acne for about the last ten years. I have tried every expensive facial cleanser, toner and moisturizer sold at fine department stores including organic/natural products. Over the years to achieve beautiful skin I have not only spent a lot of money on products that irritated and dried my skin, but I have also seen an array of different estheticians, dermatologists and laser specialists. With extensive medication and creams I was able to get my acne under control, but my skin was still very red, dry and unhappy. Then about a year ago I met Sharon Dzialo, she is not only an amazing and talented esthetician, but has over twenty years of experience in the skin care industry. Sharon’s philosophy/methodology is completely different than anything I had ever experienced. She not only educated and exposed me to a completely different way of caring for my skin, but she genuinely and sincerely cares about her client’s and their skin. I have to confess it took me several months to understand her methodology because it was all “Greek” to me!!! During my first year, my skin experienced various degrees of healing, it wasn’t always pleasant. However, with patience and constant coaching my skin finally feels and looks fabulous. One tip I learned from Sharon is that touching your facial skin and picking is an absolute no, no!

Pros: knowledge, expertise, simplicity and great products

Cons: none

I have very sensitive skin, and had struggled with red, irriated and inflamed skin most of my life. Dermatologists had made fleeting improvements with topical medicines, but I never saw a sustained improvement. A friend suggested I try European Facials. Sharon tried a variety of approaches and ultimately came upon a solution that worked for my skin. Within a few months of my first visit, my skin changed dramatically. She has educated me in how to handle and take care of my skin, and I now get compliments on how beautiful my complexion is. I have been going to European Facials for over 7 years and am so thankful to Sharon for what she has done for me and my skin!

Pros: Service, knowledge

I was introduced to Sharon and European Facials thanks to the amazing reviews posted on City Search. My goal was to find someone who was down to earth and sincere in their approach to skincare, especially for someone over 50...like me. As with so many of the other reviewers, I had bought into the standard approach of washing your face, applying toner, serum, moisturizer, etc. What a breath of fresh air to have Sharon explain the real reason my skin was not at its peak, why I had battled blackheads on my nose since I was a teen. And I especially loved the fact that I no longer had to spend as much time and use so many products as I thought I had to. The Babor line that she uses and recommends is fantastic. Between the few products I use, and following Sharon's expert advice, I am now turning the corner and will in a few more months have stunning skin the way so many of Sharon's long-term, satisifed customers do. Believe the reviews you read about Sharon. Never has my skin looked this smooth and fresh and luscious. You will find no finer approach to skincare anywhere else. Don't wait any longer...call and schedule a facial today.

Pros: Experience, knowledge, approach.

Cons: None

I'm so thankful for the people who wrote these comments about Sharon Dzialo. I have problem with acne since I was 12 and blackheads since 10yr old. I'm 24 now. I tried TVmmercials acne treatments, went to a facialist for months put on gylcolic acid every week. "They" said going to a dermatologist was the only way. So i opened a credit card account just so I could go see a derm. After 4 months of going to a dermatologist and spending $2000 for a laser treatment, my skin went for the worst. My skin was red, hot, burned, flaky skin and definitely greasy--beyond oily. So i went on Citysearch to find another dermatologist (silly me), and was stumbled upon this page and read all the raving reviews and the website. Came in for a consultation (it's free, unlike other derms who demands $100+ for just an initial consultaion) and explained to me about the structure of cells in my skin and why my skin is reacting the way it is. Sharon was very sincere, passionate, and very compassionate about wanting to make my skin the way it was supposed to be; the beautiful, healthy skin i was born with. Sharon's approach is very different from what's out there. But if you have skin like mine, and desperate for answers, i was ready and willing to take the different approach. No facial wash, no water on my face, and moisturize moisturize moisturize...she held my hand and gave me courage to test her words. Now i'm still in the process of healing. It may take another 6 months for all the scars to disappear. But i don't have huge painful acne, i don't have any more massive clogged pores, my skin is not red and hot anymore, I feel good--and i haven't feel like this for a long long time...My friends are telling me my skin is looking good, and they ask where did those acnes & blackheads went?! She's not only my facialist, but she's like a friend and a family to me. I trust her completely and I will forever feel grateful to Sharon.

Pros: Absolute Relaxation, Excellent Care, and Miraculous Results

Cons: Feeling like a spoiled brat after session

I thought I had tried everything on the market. I had tried all of the expensive moisturizers and creams at the department stores, but nothing helped my skin. A family friend then referred me to Sharon, and the rest is history. The results speak for themselves! I have been a client of Sharon's for nearly a year and I can't believe the way my skin has changed. My face used to hurt with a burning pain everyday, not to mention it was dry, cracking and overall unhealthy. Her theories and practices don't buy into all of the marketing and hype of the lines department stores carry. I get compliments on my skin all the time. The best part of Sharon's theory is its simplicity. Her expertise is greatly appreciated!

Pros: Sharon's personality!, skill, expertise, Great Skin!

Cons: None!

If you are struggling with a skin issue and haven't found answers anywhere else, you owe it to yourself to visit Sharon and have a facial and listen to her advice. She is offering a method of skin care that you will not find elsewhere, from anyone else in the business, and it is simple and profound and very intuitive. I have dealt with acne, dehydration, inflamed and irritated skin since i was in jr. high, and it has vastly affected my life in so many ways, and have tried numerous things, seen many estheticians, tried many skin care lines, literally burned the skin on my face with acids and exfoliants and microderm, spent hundreds of dollars, and finally from Sharon i received advice that literally made me tear up with appreciation because it made so much sense. It has been just 6 days from my facial with her and i've been following her advice and already seeing vast improvement in my skin, that is ridiculously fast to be seeing results. My skin is healing because it is now able to do so. I cannot say enough about this amazing women and the amount of wisdom she possesses from her many years of working with people and their skin. Please go see her!!! -Anna Rose

Pros: lovely atmosphere, very relaxing, Sharon's wisdom and skill

Cons: absolutely nothing

It is actually the very first time I write reviews anywhere. But I thought that it is important that girls share their little secrets;-) The service and care that I got in the salon are simply unique. Sharon is involved in every detail of what she does, she is truly a professional. Sharon makes your skin glow, she really does that! And you can see the results in approximately two weeks! And then it's getting better and better! What is also unique is the service you get in the salon. One day I was 45 min late for my appointment, and Sharon didn't charge me anything for this time, although it was obviously my fault! It is just simply little things that give you a big picture

Pros: service, skills, atmosphere

Cons: none

I recently met Sharon while in Portland for work. I enjoyed my facial and the products I purchased. However, the actual facial, which was very nice, pales in comparison to Sharon's knowledge and advice. I have been getting facials for 20 years. In all this time, Sharon is the first skin care specialist to talk to me about the healing properties of my body and skin themselves Sharon discussed the abuse I have subjected my skin to over these years (all in good faith and with very expensive products), and how I could begin to reverse that damage with patience and time by tweaking my routine. The fact is that my new routine is much simpler, and I swear I have seen an almost immediate difference in the health of my skin. Sharon has been working with skin for a long time, has seen a lot of people, and her suggestions do not personally benefit her in any way, so one must conclude her recommendations are worth trying. I can't emphasize enough how impressed I am with her holisitic approach, focus on healing, and lack of product pushing. Sharon talks about how your skin can heal with the right treatment; she does not talk about how one must purchase 5 products from her to fix skin problems. Sharon is indeed unique in this field, and she should be respected for her approach and genuine concern for the health of others. I highly recommend booking a facial, which is very reasonably priced, especially given the advice you will get. Sharon is a gem.

Sharon at Dzialo European Facials will change your way of thinking about how you take care of your face. If you follow her approach to facial skin care, you will notice fast improvements that last a lifetime. She's smart, she's passionate about healthy skin and her atmosphere is totally relaxing and wonderful. She genuinely cares about each of her clients and solving each of their unique facial skin needs and/or challenges. What she can teach you about how to care for your face will sound different, but it works as I am certain all of her many loyal clients would testify to. And it will save you tons of $$$ that you are currently spending on over the counter at Nordstrom, Saks, Macys or where ever you purchase those items. Her methods will have your skin looking better than it ever has - really - and you will look forward to your daily skin care routines because they are simple and refreshing. Look at her - she's beautiful and doesn't even approach looking her age. She's fun, kind and generous. Go treat yourself as soon as possible!

Pros: Your renewed beauty and confidence in your appearance.

Cons: None

I have been coming to Sharon for facials for 21 years. Her knowledge is extensive and most definitely gets results. Through the years I have always received compliments on my skin because of Sharon's approach to skincare and her method. The atmosphere of the salon is relaxing and very calming. I make a point of having two facials every month with Sharon and it has become a wonderful regime that I look forward to. (And besides, she's a lot of fun).

Cons: None
