CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“Ingrid has changed my life and the way I look at my face every morning! I was introduced to Ingrid around the beginning of 2017. Ever since, my life has changed drastically for the better. I’ve never struggled with acne until I turned 30 last year and got sober. I tried other places and methods (Skin Laundry, ProActiv, dermatologists, prescription medications, etc) and none of them even come close to the magic Ingrid has done for my skin. I’ve trusted in her process implicitly and it has paid off just as she said it would. I see Ingrid every two weeks for a Silk Peel (and an eyebrow wax because she does everything so well) with a small chemical peel booster. I only use the products she carries (which she only sells after trying herself) and follow the regimen she made specifically for my skin. I contact her at least twice a week to remind her how grateful I am for her and her amazing skills. Ingrid genuinely has a compassion for what she does. Helping people feel better about themselves is her lifes work. I recommend her all the time to friends and now to you as well!”

“Ingrid is a godsend – if you care about your skin and want the best possible facial in Los Angeles, book an appointment with her ASAP. When I moved to LA from the east coast, my skin took a nasty turn. Acne that I had never ever had before suddenly appeared on my early 30s skin…NOT cute. I had tried other estheticians that claimed to be able to get rid of acne and they left me with a lot of pain but no better skin than when I went in. I was desperate and very upset. I didn’t want to go on antibiotics (as a dermatologist recommended), but I felt like I was running into a wall when it came to effective ways to handle my now terrible skin. Enter Ingrid. Recommended to me by a friend, I went in for a consult and explained my concerns as well as my fear that I was a helpless cause. Ingrid immediately put me at ease and explained how she would handle my skin issues. Fast forward to four years later and I continue to see her regularly. She completely transformed my skin and it’s clear as ever!! I often receive compliments on my “glow” and I know it’s all due to her. Ingrid has also helped me get a handle on my sun damage and is a pro when it comes to staving off signs of aging. She is a consummate professional and is always on the cutting edge of skin treatments which I really appreciate. On top of it all, she’s lovely and kind and very caring. I always feel well taken care of and I recommend her constantly. Thank you Ingrid I would be lost without you!!”

“I cannot speak highly enough about how wonderful my journey with Ingrid at High Vibration Skincare has been! Over the years, she has completely transformed my skin and immensely improved my self confidence. Five years ago, I suffered from moderately severe acne and very congested skin. Nothing I did affected change and I was unaware of how to properly care for my skin, until I met Ingrid. From the very beginning, I felt so well taken care of and nurtured under her care. Her sessions are not just a facial, but a complete wellness experience that is tailored to your unique skin pattern. She uses the most advanced treatment technology and I appreciate that all of her products are clean and organic. Ingrid has extensively studied the science of skin care and is always so generous in sharing her knowledge. She will educate you on the root cause of your skin concern and provide you the appropriate facial products and nutrition recommendations to help heal. Not only does is she a skilled esthetician but also a brilliant chemist who makes high quality organic facial products. I love knowing what is in my products and how healthy my skin looks since completely switching over to Ingrid’s line. Ingrid puts her heart and soul into what she does and it comes through in her work. I highly recommend High Vibration Skincare to anyone who would like to improve the health and beauty of their skin.”

“Ingrid is truly amazing. I have had problem skin since around 26 (I’m now 34) it is a combination of dry, sensitive, and acne prone. I haven’t had any luck getting rid of my acne at all…but it is finally going away thanks to Ingrid and her Power Peel Series. She is the best at extractions, everything is really gone once she works on you. We are doing a series of peels right now, modified Jessner and TCA and while my skin is going through the normal peel process it still has never looked better. She has great product recommendations and really addresses the situation holistically, with diet and lifestyle tips as well. I can’t believe that for the first time in 8 years I am becoming acne free! NO other facialist or dermatologist has even come close to this. I am not even done with my peel series and I have utmost faith that my skin will finally be normal again when we are done…it’s already worlds better. If you trust Ingrid implicitly like I do and give it time and patience, she will certainly banish any skin woes you may have. It is SO WORTH IT! My only regret is that I didn’t find her sooner!!!”

“Sometimes it is hard to write a review for someone or thing that is just so incredible and wonderful. Words hardly seem to do it justice. That is how I feel about Ingrid’s High Vibration facials. I found Ingrid by searching for a facialist who would work externally and also holistically to understand and solve my acne problems. Along with her knowledge and skills when it came to discerning my facial acne woes, she also prescribed some great ideas to determine what was causing my acne inflammation through diet. I also appreciate that she values high quality natural and organic products that are free of intense chemicals and parabens. If I could post a before and after pic–just after 3-4 months and about 4 visits this would help describe it all. Incredible results. My boyfriend continues to compliment me on how much my skin has improved!! Simply put she is so sweet and attentive–and her facials (microdermabrasions, serums, and chemical peels) have honestly been life changing. I feel so happy about my how much my skin has progressed without ever going under a laser (which can be super harmful). Ingrid is a real-life fairy godmother. So lucky to have found her— and it’s what keeps me coming back. I highly recommend her.”

“Ingrid is incredibly gifted when it comes to skin care. She has successfully changed and drastically improved my skin through a series of ‘transformative peels’. I have always felt a bit lost in the realm of skin care.. it’s so overwhelming. Ingrid is both gentle and aggressive, a great quality in an esthetician. She tailors her treatments to fit my skin’s needs, and my skin hasn’t looked better. I’m no longer totally confused.. I have Ingrid. I love talking to Ingrid about nutrition and health because she is so knowledgeable and laid back about it. She is definitely serious about wellness and beauty but she isn’t intense and preachy about it. Ingrid will never make you feel like a jerk for not juicing 24/7.. She’s pleasant and knowledgeable. I am so thankful that I found Ingrid!”

“I started seeing Ingrid over ten years ago when I had severe cystic acne. She not only cured my skin, she transformed it. Now that I’m older and starting the aging process, Ingrid continues to modify her facials to target specific problems- fine lines, sagging skin and uneven skin tones. Her knowledge is only surpassed by her attentiveness and understanding of your expectations. She will also help you with a regimen for lasting results between facials. If you are looking to transform your skin- Ingrid is the person to see. Hands down the best facialist in LA.”

“When I moved to Los Angeles a little over a year ago my skin was in a bad state. I was breaking out more than I had in years and developed rash like small bumps on my forehead and chin. I was hesitant to go to yet another dermatologist just to be put on more medication that takes months to work. A friend in Los Angeles who had had trouble skin in the past was looking fabulous so I asked what it was and she told me it was her facials with Ingrid! I jumped on that band Wagon real quick and haven’t looked back. My skin improved immediately after my first visit. If you’ve ever had acne you know that every day waiting for it to clear up is miserable so actually finding someone/something that can help immediately is like a miracle. My skin since has never gone back to the way it was. When my skin starts to look drab or a couple more pimples than I care to see appear, I make an appointment with Ingrid right away. FYI, I recommend the light peel. It really makes my skin look fresh and renewed.”
Management
“Ingrid has saved my skin. I had been suffering with a case of the worst cystic acne I had ever experienced for almost a year before I met Ingrid. From the start she has shown patience, understanding, and a deep knowledge of healing acne from its root cause. She took her time in really hearing me and inquiring about my diet, current skincare routine, and other lifestyle factors to identify the reasons why my skin was breaking out, something that was definitely missing from my previous experience with a different esthetician. During my treatments, she immediately put me at ease and showed great care in the entire facial process, including extractions, while doing it in a soothing way that was tuned into my comfort. She has a way about her that is both nurturing and honest. Her product recommendations are totally on point, she follows up after appointments, and thoroughly replies to my multitudes of questions and concerns. I really couldn’t ask for more, and would wholeheartedly recommend Ingrid to anyone looking to cure their acne or simple rediscover what it feels like to be confident in their skin.”

“You are gonna LOVE the skin you are in, I guarantee.. Ingrid has been my esthetician for over 3 years now. I met Ingrid in early 2011 after experimenting for several years with different spas and treatments all over Los Angeles and surroundings. After being repeatedly disappointed by the lack of knowledge of so-called spa “professionals” of the basic skin needs, products on the market, or a total lack of care for their clients, I had decided to go solo, and tackle the issue myself (or so I thought)… eventually I managed to make my skin worse… Luckily I got introduced to Ingrid by a friend of mine. I will follow Ingrid to any spa she moves to, I refuse to let anyone touch my face. I cannot stop telling everyone I know how Ingrid has dramatically improved and literally saved my skin. Not only are her facials exceptional and customized, she recommends an entire skin regiment, taking all the guess work out of your daily skin needs. Ingrid is very friendly, down to earth, warm and incredibly knowledgeable. She makes one feel welcomed and cared for. She will examine your skin and ask about your care routine, make recommendations and educate you about skin care, all the while developing and applying a personalized treatment for your skin. Like most gifted and knowledgeable professionals she is not pushy nor condescending, but what she does during the facial, and what she encourages you to do every day definitely works. Pros: The most knowledgeable skin care professional I’ve been to. Highly skilled esthetician, warm friendly relaxing atmosphere, great product suggestions Cons: None.”

“Ingrid is a healer. CYSTIC ACNE GONE! I have been her client for over 5 years now and she has transformed my skin to a level I never thought I could reach. I have taken so many of her tips and taken the time to work on things to help my complexion outside of just getting her facial services (which is something she always teaches me) you can go to as many facials as you want but if don’t put in the work with your skincare routine and what you eat, the results won’t be sustainable. This is where Ingrid has helped me create lasting habits that other facialist never worked with me on. She customizes every facial based on my needs and I am forever grateful for her incredible skills. Not to mention she has introduced me to PCA, Osmosis and her very own skincare line she has tirelessly worked on for over a decade. I’m a fan of it all. If you’re looking for a facialist she is the one for you. STOP SEARCHING SHE IS THE REAL DEAL. Just look at my before post facial to now. Over a course of a few years she has healed my skin fully. She also helped me prepare for my wedding with her Bridal Bootcamp Regimen and I didn’t have a worry in the world the week leading up to my wedding. My face was clear and ready for the makeup artist. I am forever indebted to Ingrid.”
