Hi, I'm Elżbieta — most clients call me Ela. I'm a California Licensed Esthetician with over 15 years of experience in skincare and aesthetics. Originally from Poland, I developed my passion for skincare through years of training and work with some of Europe's most respected methods and products.
Since founding my practice in 2012, I've built it around results-driven, personalized care — helping clients address aging skin, dehydration, sensitivity, acne, and overall skin wellness. I work with high-quality European and Polish skincare lines, chosen for their botanical extracts, peptides, vitamins, and active ingredients, and I continue advanced training throughout Europe to stay current with the latest in anti-aging, hydration, and rejuvenation techniques. Every treatment plan is built around your skin, not a one-size-fits-all routine.
Every facial below includes a thorough cleanse, exfoliation, extractions, a custom mask, and a face & shoulder massage.
The full experience — an extended, fully customized facial built around what your skin needs that day. Includes oxygen infusion or radio frequency for deep hydration, enzyme and gentle peels, a cooling algae mask, and a relaxing massage on the face and shoulders.

"I am a 62-year-old woman who is obsessed with proper skincare and quality products. I have had numerous facials and medical treatments through the years, but nothing compares to the talented hands of Ela. I have been going to Ela for over a year now and I have seen consistent improvement in my skin. Her products are from Europe and I swear they are the best! Ela's prices are affordable and not over-the-top expensive like other salons. Ela is also one of the nicest people you'll ever meet!"
— Debra B."Ela is by far a true professional. Her level of expertise is second to none. She offers her clients a relaxing, comfortable atmosphere and her personal integrity is at the forefront of all she does. European Skin Care by Ela is a diamond in the rough. Once you experience her facial there is no need to look any farther. And believe this...the price is beyond reasonable!"
— JoDee S."Ela gives the best facial in South OC!! Years ago I was going to Georgette Klinger in Beverly Hills and in NY, and I've tried to find a true Euro esthetician for soooo many years. She does the best extractions!! Her massage during the mask is amazing! She's truly the best!!"
