Lisbon on Sep 2024

I recently had a facial at Pamela Wellness and I was really impressed with the cleanliness of the place. Pamela was punctual, and the products she used were not only good but she also gave me some really solid advice. She's incredibly gentle during treatments, offers great value for money, and pays close attention to what you need. The product she recommended after my session has been superb. She knows her stuff and you can tell she's got a lot of knowledge in skincare. Overall, my experience matched exactly what I was hoping for!

I've been going to Denise at Denise Ferrandini Clínica de Estética Avançada for my micro-needling and facials, and I can't recommend her enough. She's Brazilian but grew up in the States, so she speaks perfect English, which makes communication a breeze. The clinic has such a relaxing atmosphere, and Denise is incredibly friendly. What really sets her apart is how she treats you like an individual; she gives personalized advice on what treatments will work best for you. I appreciate that she sometimes suggests alternatives that are more affordable than what I initially ask for. I've tried the Ultraformer III treatment with her, and it's fantastic—it tightens your skin significantly. You feel totally in capable hands with Denise; plus, she has this wonderful little skincare line of her own creation. If you're looking for someone knowledgeable who truly cares about your skin's health, she's definitely the one to see.

I've been going to Denise Ferrandini Clínica de Estética Avançada for 4 years now and I must say, I'm very satisfied. As someone who's quite picky, I've never had a bad experience; Denise is super nurturing and really gets where I'm coming from. Every session feels personalized which is exactly what I needed, especially when life was hectic with my little daughter. It's such a relaxing escape for me! Just a heads-up, you should book at least two weeks in advance because she's pretty popular. Also, while I stick to my own skincare routine religiously, Denise is great at suggesting new things without pushing them on me. Plus, the products she uses are top-notch quality. Highly recommend her services!

I've been going to Pamela at Pamela Wellness for various facial treatments and I've always come away completely satisfied with the results. Her place is spotlessly clean, and she's very accommodating even if I show up a bit late. The products she uses are top-notch, and she takes the time to explain each one, which I really appreciate. After getting some fantastic advice from her on how to improve my morning skincare routine, I can see a noticeable difference in my skin. The environment is so relaxed; it never feels like she's rushing through the appointment. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality facials in a calming setting!

I've been getting my lymphatic facials from Lauren at Thula regularly, and she's fantastic. Her gentle touch and calming presence make every visit incredibly relaxing. Lauren is a pro at working around the face muscles, and I swear I look younger after each session with no puffiness in sight. My mom and friends also go to her when they're in town; we usually opt for the hour-long treatment. The salon itself is a haven of comfort, with a super cozy massage table, lovely scents, and spotless cleanliness. Scheduling is a breeze, Lauren is punctual every time, and honestly, given how great her service is, she could be charging more!

I had gotten a facial from Veronica every month for around 2 to 3 years until she moved to Portugal from the US, and I couldn't be happier with her services. She's incredibly knowledgeable about her products and techniques, making each session both relaxing and effective. She's always well-organized, so the appointment scheduling makes everything easy. She provides excellent advice on what products would work best for me and follows up to ensure everything is going well. Her approachable nature and constant smile make every visit enjoyable. I wish she hadn't moved to Portugal, I highly recommend her.

Why we created Locallista?

As expats, we understand how overwhelming it can be to settle into a new city, where even simple tasks become difficult without a network, complicated by language barriers and cultural differences. That’s why we created Locallista — a closed platform where expats connect with trusted service providers recommended by the community, ensuring clear communication in English or their native languages, making life easier.
