REFERRALS AND TESTIMONIALS
"I could no more live without Ivy's microdermabrasion treatments than I could live without water. They are an absolute must to keeping my skin smooth, glowing and wrinkle free. In the past four years since I began my bi-monthly treatments, I swear my face hasn't aged a day. It's also one of the few skin processes where you look wonderful, immediately afterwards. Friends always comment on how beautiful my skin looks hours after I've had microdermabrasion, and when I combine it with IPL photorejuvenation, the results are even better."

"Ivy is nonpareil! As a paramedical esthetician in the star-studded city of Los Angeles, she is the BEST, celebs & moms alike sing her praises. But more than being an outstanding esthetician, she is an amazing woman whose warmth, humor and down to earth charm are unforgettable and undeniable. A trip to Ivy's does wonders not only for my skin, but for my spirit as well. It’s like going home!! "

"I have known Ivy Halford for eight years and referred her many patients. She is one of the best aestheticians out there - from personality to ability. I was hoping she would remain nearby as all my patients love her, but sadly this is not the case. I would recommend (and do) my family and anyone seeking the best aesthetician services."

"It is my pleasure to write a letter of reference for Ivy Halford. I first met Ivy three years ago, when we were introduced by a mutual patient who was thrilled with the results of Ivy's treatments. I have since been impressed by the quality of care she provides to her skincare clients and the seriousness and thoughtfulness with which she treats the patients that I refer to her. As a cosmetic dermatologist, I feel confident referring my patients to Ivy because she has worked closely with physicians in the past, and is familiar with both over-the-counter as well as prescription-strength medications that patients may be taking. She is also familiar with the procedures that I perform in my office, and encourages her clients to schedule consultations with me to discuss treatments that may be beneficial to them. I respect Ivy's judgment, as she recognizes when it is appropriate or necessary to refer her clients to a physician. She has also been a valuable resource by providing microdermabrasion, acne facials, and extractions to patients in between their visits to my office."

"I now look forward to cleansing my face after a long hard day – and that takes an incredible line of products. Ivy's Transformational Skincare is a totally positive and beautiful sensory experience. They feel great, smell great, and best of all, work great. I have never been this pleased with a skincare line!"

"Ivy's Transformational Cream is unlike other moisturizers – it is rich with nutrients that truly feed the skin. It makes my skin feel silky smooth and soft. It's brilliant! I love that it is made of all natural and organic ingredients and the scent is so relaxing and therapeutic. Unlike most other creams, a little bit goes a long way and you can't beat the price!

Ivy's Sea Mineral Scrub & Mask is one of my favorite products! My skin glows after I use it. As soon as you apply it as a mask, you can feel the all-natural ingredients instantly working. As a scrub, it gently polishes away dead skin leaving my face silky soft. I love that it is both a mask and a scrub in one product!"

I am so happy to see that you're thriving in Texas although I miss you terribly here in Los Angeles. I have not found anyone to replace you in providing my skin with the great care that you did. My skin and I thank you.

I am loving your products! The misting moisturizer is my favorite. It is so easy for after yoga class when you can still be sweating a bit even after your shower. I am now putting on sunscreen religiously (something I didn't do before) thanks to your product...it feels good.

"Having moved to Santa Monica after years of living and modeling in New York and feeling secure and pleased with my skin regemen and professional 'team', I was dubious about finding the equivalent here. I had surrendered to leaving my microdermbrasion person and facialists behind.

Ivy is the angel that appeared as a reward for my surrender!

I was seduced by her genuine warmth and caring and after one visit to her office for a full treatment of microdermabrasion and light could not believe the glowing bouncy even toned-face that peered back at me. My skin had not looked this vibrant since my early twenties (which is 30 years ago!)

Ivy recommended a series of three treatments of light (this is the tool that seems to be the real magic wand...for me it lightened age spots and broken blood vessels) and microdermabrasion. I obeyed. At the end of each treatment Ivy slathers Transformational Cream all over....even arms and hands.

Simply incredible. Our faces are what we show the world; this is like rebirth....AND feels wonderful with no down time! After the initial three treatments, periodic freshen-ups are great but at your leisure. Those first three sessions are skin/life changing. "

"I am a practicing doctor in the Los Angeles area. I have known Ivy Halford professionally for the past eight years. During this period, I have referred countless patients to her. Among these patients are many high profile members of the Hollywood industry. Such patients are extremely selective and well researched in the field of dermatology. Most of my patients knew more about skin care than I did. In every case, patients that I referred to Ivy returned to me stating that Ivy was the best esthetician that they had ever been exposed to. With that kind of response I am confident that any person within her care will only be pleased with the results. In addition to being skilled, Ivy is a warm and compassionate individual. It has been a great pleasure to watch the positive impact she has had on my patients. While we are sorry to see her leave Los Angeles, Ivy will undoubtedly be an asset to any environment in which she chooses to practice."

"Hi Ivy, It's midnight on the day of my treatment with you. I'm SO excited that I just wanted to leave you a message. The treatment today was SO good for my face that there's SO much tightness and stiffness from my surgery that's now gone...I mean, it's a miracle! It's just wonderful! I'm SO thankful you had room to see me today. I can't wait to see you again next week for my next treatment! Thanks a lot-my face feels SO much better!"

"As a facial conessoir, I searched for the best facialist in L.A. for several years. Not until I found Ivy was I satisfied. More than an incredible facial, Ivy brings a spirit and love to her work that makes every trip a pleasure."

Not only is Ivy the best aesthetician in town, she’s a doll! She has been there for me and taken care of me over the years. She has all the newest equipment, including the diamond power peel wand! Your skin not only feels better and looks better immediately – you leave without having to wear any makeup and looking beautiful! She takes her job very seriously and is always on time.

Okay, I went to Ivy for a microdermabrasion facial today. She is unbelievable. My husband said I look ten years younger – she is amazing. She uses a diamond dermabrasion, high frequency lights, and all kinds of other things I had no idea about. All I know is I am hooked. She really knows what she is doing. I recommend it HIGHLY !!! I have never had a better facial. It was so much more. Run don't walk!!!

I suffered from acne for years and, sadly, it took its toll on my skin in the form of scarring and discoloration. Ivy has seriously given me back my youthful skin. It took time and persistence as I was a serious case, but now I can even go out without make-up on! Amazing!

When I go for my appointment with Ivy I know that I am entering an oasis that will nurture my skin and my soul. I look younger than many of my friends and I know in part it is because of the care and nurturing that Ivy puts into my treatment and teaching me how to better take care of my skin between times of seeing her. My skin loves her products. I spray the moisture mist all over my body after a shower before I moisturize and it loves it!

My first hint that Ivy did something unique to other estheticians was the evidence of material removed from my outer layer of skin: the dead skin cells and exfoliation of acne scaring had collected in the microdermabrasion "wand" looking like the remains of something accumulated in a vacuum cleaner bag. I was delighted to know the outer layer of skin – with all of its middle-aged wrinkling and discoloration of skin – was no longer part of my epidermis.

My husband, a physician, had made it clear that botox injections and chemical peels were not an option given the invasive nature of the treatment: he agreed the microdermabrasion and light treatment (photorejuvenation) was a natural-method to rejuvenate the skin. I wasn't looking for a miracle. I was looking for a realistic alternative to eliminate acne scaring, greatly reduce wrinkles and leave behind healthier-appearing skin. And I have found it.

So glad you are selling your products online since you moved to Texas and I can no longer visit your salon. Love the day and night creams; haven't found any others that moisturize so well.

Ivy's salon treatments and skincare products are truly superb; second to none! Over the past five years that I've been going to Ivy she has completely transformed my stressed out skin. Her all natural skin care products are fabulous (and they last forever) and her facials, using top of the line equipment, will shock and amaze you! Ivy's passion for beauty seeps in to everything she touches and you will walk away feeling like you've nurtured your mind, body and soul. There is nothing like it!

I'm so excited to have found Ivy's special care! I just caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror... I think you just took 10 years off! Camilla and I now call you our "skin muse"... think Sharon Stone in "The Muse".... Thank you, as always you get me psyched to “face” the world again!

I have known Ivy Halford for almost thirty years and one thing that has always been true is that Ivy knows skin. She is back from Hollywood, after making the movie crowd look great, to take on our sun-baked faces here in Dallas. Ivy was one of the first estheticians in the country to perform microdermabrasion treatments and uses the finest surgical grade equipment.

Without any exaggeration, this is truly the most wonderful cream, I ever had!

About 6 months ago, by a glorious bit of luck, I learned about Ivy’s skin care line. Her products are so extraordinarily pure and effective, my skin is recovering clarity and glow that I thought might be gone forever. Look no further for skin care because Ivy has captured the essences of cleansing, toning, and moisturizing naturally for the rest of us.
