Betty Rajabi

Hair Stylist and Color Specialist, Owner

Styling and coloring hair has always been one of my passions. I have 15 years of experience in the hair industry and I am licensed to work in Europe and America with Cuts-Colors-Perms and styling skills. I have received my education in  hair cutting and styling from the Ecole Internationale de coiffure des Evelines in France, Jacque Dessange Salon Training in Lille, Vidal Sassoon in San Francisco. I have also been trained in Redkeen, Aveda, and the Framessi coloring technique. I speak three languages and enjoy my profession. I have always planned to have my own salon and that dream has come true. La Nana now includes extensive spa services, which makes me very happy to provide for our clients.

I enjoy working with people and connecting to their beauty. It makes me happy to see how customers feel with their new look after leaving my salon and how relaxed and healthy they feel when they are getting a body massage or skin care treatment in my spa.

We hope La Nana will become your salon for all your needs. Our staff at La Nana is made up of highly trained professionals in their field

Lori Sparks

CMT (Massage Therapist)

I was credentialed in Swedish massage at the McKinnon Institute in Oakland, CA in 1983. The styles of massage I offer include Swedish, Deep Tissue, Shiatsu, Prenatal and Reflexology. 

As a massage therapist it is rewarding to see the client who initially arrived feeling stressed or fatigued, leave looking calm and refreshed after their massage. La Nana offers a beautiful and relaxing environment to achieve this goal. I look forward to helping you connect with your own sense of serenity and renewal through massage.

Julia Kesel

Aesthetician

My journey in the beauty and skincare fields began more than 17 years ago, upon graduating from the International School of Cosmetology, Moscow, Russia. In the US, I was personally hand-picked and trained by R.N. Polina Gerardo and Nona Daron, who have two generations of European skincare experience, and are the co-founders of Flying Beauticians and Acne Center in San Francisco and Mill Valley – one of the top 20 salons in the country. While at Flying Beauticians, and being part of a team of highly skilled estheticians, I was invited to work for private events at Neiman Marcus.

My vast experience has enabled me to offer the fi nest skincare treatments. I combine European techniques and use only the best products available. Upon meeting with you, I will recommend the right facial for your skin as well as a product regimen that you can follow at home (please note that deep pore cleansing extractions is a large part of my facials, unless otherwise specified).

Eyebrow design and bikini waxes have also long been one of my specialties. With a gentle touch, I will make sure that every treatment is smooth, quick, and easy for you.

Please feel free to schedule a free consultation with me. I look forward to working and sharing my journey with you at La Nana.

My approach to a massage session is with you in mind. Do you want full-body pure relaxation, or invigorating therapeutic to help address specific muscle areas? Do you want an entire session on your back, or just the legs? I integrates Swedish, Deep Tissue and Trigger Point techniques into each session to meet your specific needs.I was trained at McKinnon Institute of Massage in Oakland.
