Vivian Williams Skincare sits on the second floor of a building in downtown San Rafael, with easy parking nearby. The salon is owned by Loretta Vivian Williams, who also operates Rosacea Clinic Marin, which offers rosacea-focused appointments and products. Services are by appointment only, and clients book by phone at 415-458-8739 or by email at loretta@vivianwilliams.com. Hours are Tuesday to Friday from 10 am to 7 pm and Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm.
The facial menu includes the Signature Facial at $165, a roughly 90-minute treatment. Sun Worshipper is a $195 Phyto-DNA facial aimed at photo-damaged skin, and it includes a vitamin C mask and an eye contour treatment. Runaway Weekend is a lighter roughly 90-minute facial that the salon suggests booking three to four days before an event. Take Your Vitamins is a $150 facial of about 90 minutes built on vitamins, antioxidants and exfoliation. Microdermabrasion costs $108, takes about 40 minutes and includes a lunchtime peel; the salon says the best results come from 6 to 12 treatments over time.
Permanent makeup covers eyebrows, eyeliner, lips and scar correction, priced from $150 to $700. The pigment is placed in the dermal layer, just below the surface of the skin, a method also called micropigmentation. Every procedure uses a new disposable needle. The salon describes its pigments as hypo-allergenic and its sterilization standards as the highest. A free consultation is the first step before any permanent makeup appointment.
Waxing is offered for eyebrows, face, arms, legs, underarms, back and chest, and Brazilian work. Perfect Eyebrows is priced from $18 to $45 and takes about 15 to 45 minutes, and Great Legs runs from $40 to $50. Brazilian options include The Runway from $45 to $85, about 40 to 60 minutes, and shaped designs such as heart, rock star and striped from $45 to $125. Desensitizing oils are used during waxing to help reduce discomfort.
Series packages are available in 4, 6 and 12 treatments at $560, $810 and $1,680. The 6 Series is priced 10% lower than the individual treatments it covers, and the 12 Series includes two complimentary treatments. Special treatments range from a $30 lash tint and $35 brow tint to a $197 brightening treatment, and include a Rosacea Dr. Pugliese Facial at $185, an acne treatment at $140, peels, body treatments and wraps. Products such as a brightening scrub, a serum, cleansers and an SPF 30 mineral sunscreen can be bought at the salon.
Treatment plans are built around each client's needs, with the skin considered as a whole. The salon favors natural solutions and products as the first choice, while also offering newer skin care innovations.
