"I have been to the Bellagio, The Atlantis, Calistoga and The Red Door, but... I have absolutely never had a facial like Dawn's!  The quality of her service is hollywood and international spa level.  And, her organic skincare products are simply amazing. They smell good, feel good and I could see a difference in my skin immediately."  - Jen, San Diego

 

"There just is no-one like Dawn in all of Nevada County. She gives the best facial I have ever had, offers the purest and most amazing products I have ever tried and is the nicest person you will ever meet... I just love her and her products!"  - Rebecca, Colfax

 

"Dawn Lorraine products are simply delectable. The quality is more than any other product I have tried to date. I just love the Wild Berry Nutrient Creme and the Acai Firming Mist, and, I just adore Dawn.  I used to go to her for facials before I moved back to Austin, but, I still order my products from her...and... she does FREE shipping. Who could possibly ask for more?!  I cant wait to see her again when I visit for Christmas, such a treat" 

- Sara, Austin

 

"I can be a total skincare snob, having been in the "biz" in a previous career time. Now Im on to different things.  But, I can tell a fantastic product and knowledgable skincare practitioner when I see one!  Ive traveled extensively and lived in 3 different major metropolitan areas, including the Bay, LA and currently Manhattan.  I found Dawn Lorraine's little place while wandering around the quaint Sierra town of Nevada City while I was on vacation. I saw an "organic facials" sign and figured I would at least get some relaxation while I was here. Being the snob I am I fully expected the service to be mediocre and the products to be inferior. Was I ever wrong!!!  I was amazed at the attention to detail in every element of Dawn Lorraines service and was blown away by just how good her products are. When I learned that she actually makes them herself...by hand, I was even more impressed. I fell in love with this little gold-rush town, but I fell in love with Dawn even more. I stocked up on products and cant wait to see her the next time I visit. Dawn, you truly are a gem! " - Anne, NY 

 

"Looking for a great facial? Dawn Lorraine Skincare rocks! Great products, lovely space, amazingly comfortable table and the hot stones - almost Nirvana"  - Carla Bonetti, Nevada County Escapes -

" Dawns products are nothing short of amazing, and, she makes them herself. I was searching for a skincare line that was natural but also actually did something for my skin. After only 3 days I could see a difference, my skin already looked younger. Her Pomegranite Lift Creme is to die for as well as her Super Fruit Age Serum. Dawn is also one of the most conscientious people I have ever met. Her integrity level is beyond what most people even try for. She volunteers for the homeless, donates to the environment and rescues animals... I can't say enough about what a wonderful and kind person she is. When you spend your money with Dawn it goes far beyond just her own pocket!" - Stephanie, Reno

 

 "I have never met anyone with the breadth of knowledge and know how that Dawn Lorraine possesses. I have a Masters in Nutrition and can immediately tell when someone knows their stuff. Ive had several facials with Dawn, never one the same as she tailors the service to my skins needs at that time. If you want the best that Nevada County has to offer you only need see Dawn!" - Sarah, Penn Valley

 

"I have tried just about every product you could possibly imagine, from super expensive to super cheap, organic, chemical...everything!  Dawn's products are the best I have every used.  They smell super and really do what they say they will do.  Whats even more amazing is that Dawn makes the products right in her own small studio right here in Nevada County.  I am so grateful to have found a locally made skincare line that is organic and really gets results! I am sold for good. - Gina, Nevada City 

 

"I was having facials with another local skincare person who told me I could only get results with toxic products. I wanted a more natural approach. So I went looking and found Dawn Lorraine Conscious Skincare! Ive never been happier with my skin or my product choices" - Denae, Nevada City

 

"I had my first facial ever with Dawn. I've never felt so pampered! I have never been one to use skincare products, but Dawn has me inspired to give it a try. Dawn's products are soothing and make my skin feel soft and smooth. Thanks for showing me that skincare can be a good experience, Dawn!" - Rachelle, Sierra EEG-  http://www.sierraeeg.com

 

"I love the Tea Tree Toner! I immediately noticed a difference in my complexion after using it for only three days.  I combine this with the Fresh Citrus Cleansing Gel and Grapefruit Clearing Creme.  I have always had problem skin, and I can honestly say this is the first time in years my complexion has looked not only great, but glowing! Thanks Dawn!"  Amelia, Grass Valley

 

 "I have been to many Estheticians in the area over the years.  Dawn is absolutely the best I have ever been to; the best products, the best service, the best facial bed, the best environment, the best results...the best everything.  Dawn goes way beyond what other estheticians offer.  I tell everyone how wonderful she is and have referred many of my friends!"  - Donna H, Auburn

 

"I have been seeing Dawn for several years now. I have always loved her services. But, now, her products...Im even happier. I love the way they feel, the way they smell and they really work." - Mary, Grass Valley 

 "Dawn's facials are absolutely fabulous, she makes me feel divine.  Everything about it is top notch and luxurious. Her facial bed is the most comfortable thing Ive ever laid down on.  She also does the best eyebrow wax ever!  I look and feel 20 years younger...at least!"  - Rita, Nevada City"

 

"I took one look at Dawn's skin and new I was in the right place.  She barely looks 30! She has no wrinkles around her eyes and beautiful skin.  I was shocked when she told me she had acne in the past.  I almost fell off the chair when she told me she was 45!  Its impossible to tell.  She has truly given me hope that, after years of sun and acne, I can turn my skin around.  Dawn was also totally honest with me that it would be a process, but that if I was willing to take the time, she would work with me to find the best possible program for me.  She customizes everything, no two facials are the same.  It makes me feel like she is actually there for me and not just going through the motions or following some facial by numbers routine.  After my first facial, I went home and cried...tears of joy.  She has truly changed my life.  Dawn is a not just and Esthetician, she is a Skin Healer" - Mary M, Yuba City

 

"I really love that I can get high quality organic skincare products from a local small business woman with eco-conscious principals"  - Heather, North San Juan

 

 "Dawn's facial was the best facial I have ever had. My skin felt the best it ever has after any facial!" - Maxine, (Esthetician), Nevada City

 

"After my first facial, I went home and cried...tears of joy.  Dawn is a not just an Esthetician, she is a Skin Healer" - Mary, Yuba City

Dawn Lorraine is my first choice for skin care. I moved to Nevada City a year ago from Los Angeles and had the best to select from and was concerned that I may not find that same level of service. Dawn continues to surpass my expectations. I have seen her many times for facials and related services and I always look forward to her expertise and her wonderful luxury service and the calm beautiful environment she provides at the Serenity Zone. I always look forward to making an appointment with Dawn and I give her my highest recommendation. - Michelle, N, Nevada City

"The best facial I have had in the area...BY FAR!!!" - Michele R., Nevada City

I have been a client of several aestheticians in the Palo Alto area. Dawn is the most professional, caring and thorough I have ever experienced. On my first visit, she spent over an hour evaluating my skin (at no extra charge). I feel pampered in her serene spa setting"   - Suzanne G, Grass Valley

 

"Wow! If you havent tried Dawn Lorraine's organic products you are missing out. You must get some now!" Sara, Ny- Ny

 

"I have had facials all over the world. My facial with Dawn was the best facial I have EVER had" - Lisa, Nevada City

 

"I visited Dawn while I was in town taking a professional massage training. I am an Esthetician in Oregon and always make sure I get a facial when I travel. Dawn's facial was fantastic. If I lived in the area I would definately get regular facials from her. You have a gem in Dawn here in quaint Nevada City"  - Karen, Portland-Oregon  

 "I used to see Dawn in Mill Valley, then I went to see her in Sonoma and now, Ive followed her all the way to the Gold Country.  Ive tried other people in my area and its just not the same.  If she ever moves out of state, I will be in trouble, I will need miles from Delta, just to get there.  Thankfully, she has assured me she has found her permanent home. So, every 3 months, I have my mini-vacation at Serenity Zone and make a day of it, sometimes a weekend. Its so worth it.  I cant put my finger on it, but, shes just special...its beyond words. And my makeup looks fabulous too."  - Jenny A., San Francisco

"Dawn McGrath is a fabulous skin care specialist.  I had been looking for a place to go locally where I could get fabulous facials, great products and be treated with respect and kindness...this is Serenity Zone Skin Spa!   I was truly amazed at how relaxing and wonderful my first facial was.  Dawn even took the time to go through all my products with me.  I felt comfortable with everything. I will never go anywhere else!  I highly recommend Serenity Zone Skin Spa to all of my friends. Thank you Dawn for making my skin look fabulous"  - Devon, Grass Valley

"Im absolutely sure that Dawn's small one-room spa is contributing to world peace. The Serenity Zone...the place I go to find myself again. When I leave, I go home and hug my husband, sometimes for the first time that week. Im so relaxed and feel so beautiful that it has impacted my family, its just more peaceful on my Serenity Zone weekend. Even my 8 year old knows when Ive been to the "Facial Lady in the Mountains".  Its made such a difference in my mood that my husband, friends and coworkers buy me Gift Certificates with Dawn now instead of gifts for any special occasion. Dawn has such a big heart, a beautiful space and expert knowledge...who could ask for more? You MUST go!" - Sara, San Rafael

I have known Dawn for many years. She works in the most professional manner and gives delicious skin care service (as well as massage!). I have purchased gift certificates for friends. They say the best gift to give is something you would want yourself! -Bonita C, San Rafael

"I absolutely love coming to see Dawn. I feel so good afterwards. Its relaxing, I love it and I look forward to it!"   - Susan F, Nevada City

"Dawn doesn't just give standard facials...she is passionate about skin care, changing skin texture, and helping her clients to look and feel their best.  Since going to Dawn, my skin has never looked better.  I have that "healthy glow" that even the most expensive skin care products cannot achieve.  Besides giving my face a "lift", Dawn also has given my mood a much needed lift as well.  I look forward to every appointment I have with her...in fact...I count the days!"" - Kelly M., Grass Valley 

" I have had Brazilian waxing for years. Ive been to many different waxers, in many different states and... countries. Dawn's the best waxer on the planet...Im convinced. The most painless wax ever. Dawn really puts you at ease. So much so that I drive all the way from San Jose!" - Lisa M, San Jose                                   

 "I have always loved to have facials and managed to go maybe twice a year to Adrian Arpel at Macys in San Francisco.  Then they closed up.  When I received a Gift Certificate to have a special at the local best of Marin skincare spa, I was thrilled!  Since then I have had a great time following Dawn from Mill Valley, to Sonoma and now to Nevada City to continue enjoying the experience of having great facials in a relaxing and caring environment. The facilities are warm and welcoming and smell absolutely divine!!!  I look forward to many more get-a-ways to Serenity Zone in the future. Its a great place to relax and unwind while having a wonderful facial treatment " - Colleen G, Mill Valley

"I started seeing Dawn for skincare treatments because I had some wrinkles I was concerned about.  She was able to soften them so they are now far less noticable.  The overall experience is so relaxing and enjoyable that its something I will always do and will always be part of my budget.  It's my once a month pampering session!"  - Beverly W,  Alta Sierra

"I come down from Truckee just to get my waxing with Dawn, she's the best!" - Mary, Truckee  

"Dawn is the only Esthetician I will go to. She really knows how to work with my skin type. My skin really changed after seeing Dawn for regular Micro-Dermabrasion sessions. My skin doesnt break out anymore!"  - Andrea W, Auburn

"After only one session and with wonderfully effective products, I could already see improvement.  I was so impressed by Dawn's knowledge as well as her compassion.  Her help has elevated my skin and my self esteem to a whole new level"  - Lindsay L., Nevada City

 "I have struggled with my skin since my teens. I have gone to the dermatologist, and had no luck. I had regular facials at an extremely high-end salon and was unable to attain blemish free skin. Dawn understood my skin issues in a way that no one had before.  My skin is more beautiful then it has been in over a decade.  I have paid a small fortune at other places to try and have my skin look as good as it does since I have been going to Serenity Zone.  Thanks Dawn!"  - Brandy R., Nevada City
