Golden Hour Skincare

I just had the most incredible facial at Golden Hour Skincare and I’m still glowing inside and out. From the moment you walk in, the space feels peaceful, intentional. It is an escape from the chaos of everyday life. Valerie took the time to understand my skin care needs and customized the facial to perfection. Every step felt purposeful, relaxing, and deeply rejuvenating. The products smelled amazing, the massage was beyond words. Her hands are healing!! I left with skin that felt clean, hydrated, and radiant. She pours so much love and knowledge into her work, and it shows. Book your appointment, you won’t regret it!

I've been seeing Katlyn for lash lifts and brow services for a bit now, and I can confidently say I’m never going anywhere else! She’s not only incredibly knowledgeable but also so personable, making every session enjoyable. I always look forward to my next visit- I’m excited to book a facial with her soon! From our conversations, it's clear she truly knows and loves her craft and it’s so refreshing to see someone so passionate about their work. 10/10, highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Golden Hour’s custom facial is the Best in Austin!!! I pair my facials with Aerolase Laser service to improve texture on my skin- and stimulate collagen on my face, chin and neck. Their services are so balanced - I come here for wax and lashes too.

Val is wonderful! You instantly will feel like you just made a new friend. She is easy going, kind, professional and extremely customer-oriented. I came for the first time for the eyebrows but cannot wait to come back for the facials. I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a self care (because it does not only feels like skincare)! Thank you so much Val!

I’ve been getting facials at this adorable spa in South Austin, and I can’t recommend it enough. The location is perfect—right in a fun, lively area with plenty to do nearby. Inside, the spa has the cutest decor that instantly puts you at ease. I’ve been seeing Katlyn and every time she delivers an incredible experience. She’s so skilled, attentive, and always makes me look and feel amazing. It’s become my go-to spot for skincare and self-care. Golden Hour is an absolute must!

Everything about my facial with Golden Hour Skincare exceeded my expectations!! The space is beautiful, clean, calm, and inviting. I was so lucky to have booked a facial with the founder, Val, who made the experience incredibly comfortable. She took the time to learn about me and tailor the experience to my skin's unique needs, and showed a deep knowledge of methods and techniques. Her goal is clearly to help people develop a sustainable skin-care practice, and not just to sell expensive products or services. My skin has never looked better, and I nearly floated back to my car! I recommend Golden Hour Skincare to any and everyone with a face!!!

Katlyn is the best! From lash or brow lifts to extensive facials and skincare routine planning- I’ve never looked better since working with her. She has a magic touch, gives the best recommendations, and the space is super comfy and relaxing. Go see her!!!

I have had facials before and hated them, but Val has changed my mind completely! She graciously gave of her time off to not only give me advice at the request of my daughter, who is a client of hers, but then was willing to do a cleanse and provide samples so I could try some of her products and services. I can't wait to visit Austin again and this time I hope to enjoy a full facial! I cannot recommend Golden Hour Skincare enough!

I love Golden hour so much!!! I've had facials with both Val and Morgan and they're always incredible. Morgan always does a great job personalizing the facial to my current needs and Val does a great job at making sure your experience is 10/10. She clearly loves her clients! Highly recommend Golden Hour, always!

The best facial I have ever had! My skin is glowing. It was the perfect balance of calm, massage, but most of all the best facial products I've felt. Not crazy but the most effective. Thank you!!!

Wow, where do I begin! Golden Hour Skincare has given me the best facial I've ever had in Austin, and possibly ever--and I'm a regular facial enthusiast. I booked a 75-minute customized facial with a brow tint and wax with Alyssa, and from the moment I sat down, I knew I was in great hands. Alyssa took the time to discuss all my skin concerns, asked about my facial preferences, and explained her plan for the session. She gave me the option to either relax quietly or be walked through each step, and I chose the latter. I'm so glad I did because her knowledge was impressive! The facial was perfectly tailored to my skin needs, and the massage element was incredibly relaxing. Alyssa's intentional and thorough massage included my upper back, shoulders, neck, arms, and hands, making the experience feel holistic and rejuvenating. The hot towel and LED light treatment added an extra layer of relaxation. Even after the facial, Alyssa didn't rush the process. She finished with a moisturizer and lip balm, then gave me a soothing scalp massage, and gently helped me transition back to reality with a warm towel on my back. She answered all my questions and set up a game plan for my next appointment. Having tried many places in Austin, Golden Hour Skincare has blown all others out of the water. I'm sure everyone there is fabulous, but if you get a chance, see Alyssa--she'll make your skin look amazing! Plus, I left with tons of free samples and never felt pressured to buy products. Their personalized care truly stands out.

HOLY SMOKES. So many stars for Val and Golden Hour. Wow wow wow. I'm in town for a couple days and I came in today for a customized facial. The first word that comes to mind is holistic. From the aromatic experience, to the deeply attentive and methodical facial portion, to the hot towels, to the neck and upper back massage... everything was perfect. Relaxing, tantric, and other worldly. She sent me home with products that she personally recommended for me. That are already making a difference. There are other cute products outside of skincare like Golden Hoir swag and amazing smelling incense to name a few! The shop is cute, queer owned, ADA compliant, and has a private all gender bathroom. Go see Val today!

If I could give Golden Hour 10 stars I would! I went for my first eyelash lift and tint ever with Valerie, the owner. She walked me through every step of the process and created an extremely comfortable environment. I immediately felt at ease and honestly like I was just hanging out with my girlfriends during a wine night. Not only is she kick ass at her job, but Valerie is just an all around stellar human. The space is so fun and warm too. Will definitely be back! yea

Went today and got my first ever hydrafacial. It was amazing. Valerie was so knowledgeable and she walked me through the process. I've already booked my next appointment!

My first facial on over 2 years. Super long over due but coming from LA, I'm used to a certain type of facial that not a lot of places offer. I was referred by a colleague to try this place and it did not disappoint. I went for a 75 minute facial and I loved every second of it. Valerie was able to get rid of the Milias on my face that have been bothering me for the longest time. I came out relaxed and with a glow on my face.

Everyone here is just phenomenal. As long as I live in Austin, no other ladies shall touch my precious skin!!! The difference is in the passion, the products and the holistic approach.

Sarah has been a lifesaver with my skincare routine. The custom facials she has given me, the products she has recommended, and the overall skincare advice she has given have made a huge difference...my skin looks brighter and younger! Highly recommend her services!

Val and the team at Golden Hour are fantastic, highly recommend!

I had a great facial with Sara yesterday. Am Looking forward to my next one and will explore some of the other services they offer here (eyebrows).

Kayla is so amazing! Shes getting my skin wedding ready. The last facial I went in for I swear I fell asleep for a minute. She does such a great job!

Golden hour, Golden Hour, Golden hour.. this is my new mantra as I stand in front of my mirror. Or honestly any mirror at this point. My skin is just SO good! Valerie is a true asset to the skincare community for ATX and the surrounding area. I live about 45 mins away from the spa and I would never second guess my appointment with her. She has striped me down to basics and has nurtured me and my skin into a glowing, hydrated, bouncy and resilient organ it is designed to be! I have the absolute fullest confidence that my skin will continue to look/feel decades younger and fuller for years to come. Do yourself the favor and book ASAP. You'll thank her, thank yourself, and the beauty gods for allowing Val's hands and expertise to be in your presence. Golden Hour, Golden Hour, Golden hour..

I had such an amazing experience getting my lash lift and tint with Ellie! The service was quick and relaxing and the spa itself is so adorable! My lashes have stayed looking amazing for weeks! It's such a great service for anyone who doesn't wear makeup every day but still wants to look fresh-faced. Highly recommend going to Golden Hour for lash services. Looking forward to going back for a facial soon!

Jen is amazing!! I have been to Golden Hour Skincare twice and will continue to come back even though I live out of town. Jen is so transparent, knowledgeable and friendly. She always does such an incredible job with her customized facials. Would recommend this spa to anyone looking to up their skin care game.

If I could add more stars I would. I have my facials with Val and she is amazing. Mind you I live and Florida and visit Val every chance I get. I highly recommend Golden Hour.

For waxing, Megan is the only person I trust! She's super patient, takes care of your skin, and always does a fantastic job! She's also a great person to chat with, very friendly, and is always happpy to see her clients! I cannot recommend Megan and Golden Hour enough!!

I couldn't recommend this place more. I booked a last minute facial with Valerie after realizing I (my skin) desperately needed some self care. Boy am I glad I found this place! Unlike many chain spas, their estheticians do customized facials according to what your skin needs, without trying to upsell you on treatments you don't.. It was a completely relaxing experience, adorable space, and a business led with heart and a passion for healing and helping others. So happy to spend my money with this budding small biz!

Not your average facial, to say the least! Val is an incredible human being- so much love and care goes into every single minute you spend with her. If you want a facial that is made for YOU and you're skin, you need to go see Val. She is up to date on the latest and greatest things for your skin and always has an interesting new instrument, technique or product that you would never get at your average spa or skincare appointment. Val cares so much about you, your skin and giving you the best experience possible. She takes the extra time to make sure you are super relaxed during your appointment and also takes time out to answer any questions you have about your skin and provides SUCH incredible advice on how to keep your skin glowing and looking amazing. I literally cannot say enough good things about Val. Golden Hour is the best facial you can get in Austin period!

Love coming here for my waxing with Megan, she's always on time, super friendly, does a great job and scheduling is super easy. I'm looking forward to getting other services here.

The facial was INCREDIBLE!! I will be coming back here soo much and telling all my friends to come too. Val is amazing and my skin has never looked better! Love love love all that she did. I was so relaxed the whole time that by then end of our 90 minute session, i felt like a little cloud. 100/10 recommend !!

I can't say enough great things about Valerie! I went in for my first ever lash lift and had told her how I was nervous because of how sensitive my skin was and the bad reactions I've had in the past. She was very understanding and sweet. She explained the process as she went and I didn't have any sort of reaction! The process was quick and painless! Now I'm loving my nice curly lashes and can't recommend her enough!

Valerie gave me the most relaxing facial! In addition to cleaning, detoxifying and hydrating my congested, dry skin, she then completely relaxed my face, scalp, shoulders, arms and feet with an awesome massage!! My face,skin and my being were restored to a peaceful glowing state. Valerie and Golden Hour is a nourishing experience.You can tell she loves what she does!

I have been DYING for someone to take care of me in the midst of COVID-19 so going in to have a facial + massage was truly incredible. First and foremost the safety precautions taken by the staff made me feel incredibly safe and cared for (all staff wore masks, gloves worn during the facial, etc). I think I should preface that I have never had a facial before so I was being a bit of a baby wondering if it would be uncomfortable and Val talked me through everything and gave me great advice for how to care for my skin moving forward, she is incredibly knowledgable and passionate about helping you get to your most confident self. The massage I had with Tarah was also hands down the best massage I have had in Austin -- I really don't have any more to say about it because it was just 10/10. Definitely recommend going in to Golden Hour the next time you need a day to pamper yourself, need help on your skin journey, or whatever your self-care needs are.

Hey Val! I came in for a facial last week with my skin begging for help. I have a lot of other things going on so went to the Drs a few days later and A little plot twist. . . Turns out I have an auto immune disease. This most likely caused the unprecedented break out and skin problems I have been having. With that being said after my facial and the products you suggested, my skin is on the mend! Everything you did was magic! And kept me from having to take prescription meds for my skin at this time. I can't say thank you enough for my experience and feeling heard and understood and how you thoughtfully and relentlessly worked to get my skin back on track! AND as an extra bonus it was probably the most calming and relaxing 75 minutes I've had in months!

Golden hour has incredible service and the owner is extremely knowledgeable in skin. Not only will you get a wonderful and relaxing facial, message or waxing but you will get a treatment tailored to your personal skin type and lifestyle. The owner places an emphasis on overall wellness of mind, body and spirit. I highly recommend visiting the Golden Hour.

I came in for my first Tint and Lift and Valerie was amazing!!! The salon is very cute and charming. Valerie and her staff follow COVID-19 protocols. The first time my lashes didn't pick up like I wanted and Valerie told me to come back few days later to adjust them! Everything was included in the service and my lashes are now wonderful !!! I will definitely come back!!! Thank you Valerie and her team!
