Love Notes
I have known Pilar for 10+ years, she is and has always been a pioneer in the world of clean skincare and organic facials... I leave her feeling like I have had a mini-vacation, and like my skin is clean, refreshed, glowing, and stimulated all at the same time. And yes, I leave without a trace of makeup and am complimented on my skin all day long. Thank you, Pilar!

—Ada Polla, CEO of Alchimie Forever

"What can you say about the perfection that is Pilar. Out of five stars, she gets a 10. When I first feel her fingers on my face I remember what an exquisite treatment I'm about to receive. And I never want to end. If I listed specifics I would run out of space."
– Joni H.
​
"A facial with Pilar is like no other — her attention to the details of the condition of your skin and to your overall well-being is extraordinary. She also uses non-toxic, non-chemical, plant-based products that nourish your skin like a healthy diet. She's the best I have found in the DC area and I've been getting facials for decades."
