About

First Class BR is led by Kim Pham, who previously founded and ran Spa Elysee in Burlingame, CA, as owner and principal esthetician for 30 years. The salon states that it has treated thousands of clients over more than 40 years, and it is now based at its San Jose studio on North 4th Street. The studio is open by appointment, Monday through Sunday. Clients can book by calling or texting (408) 515-0765 or through the booking button on the website.

Visits begin with a detailed skin assessment, called a bilan cutane, before any products are recommended. The salon describes its approach as treating every skin as individual. Biologique Recherche products are formulated at concentrations used under the guidance of a trained professional, according to the salon.

The signature Biologique Recherche Facial lifts, hydrates, oxygenates and brightens skin and comes in 50-minute ($200) and 80-minute ($300) versions. Other facials include the Deep Pore Cleansing Facial, which includes extractions for acne-prone or blemished skin with clogged pores, and BR Soin Lissant, an anti-redness facial with manual lifting and lymphatic drainage. Toleskin facials address redness linked to rosacea, eczema, psoriasis and compromised skin barriers, and the BR Fruit Acid Clarifying Facial exfoliates and clears clogged pores without a machine.

For lifting, firming and texture, the studio offers the BR Lift C.V.S Firming Facial, which uses radio frequency pulses, the BR Remodeling Triple-Lift Luxury with customized serums and masks, the BR MC110 Treatment for devitalized skin with fine lines, and the MBR Superlift Facial, a customized 60-minute treatment at $500. The MBR Superlift is offered at 10 percent off with a same-day product purchase. Microneedling is available through the BR Micropuncture Lab for wrinkles, fine lines and scar repair, and the CoolJet Cold Plasma Signature Facial uses low-temperature plasma; the salon describes that facial as improving elasticity, collagen production, pore size and brightness. Scalp care includes a head spa treatment with or without micro-needles. The salon describes the micro-needle version as stimulating hair growth, and scalp hair must be shampooed at home beforehand.

Each skin is assessed before products are recommended, and Biologique Recherche products are used at professional-strength concentrations under trained guidance, according to the salon.
