Absolute Miracle cream fixed my skin! It's one of the best face care products I've ever seen, if not #1. I can only compare this product with the top-notch boutique labs that charge much more for an equally amazing product. Absolute Miracle intensive skin repair cream is top-notch!!!! read more

I was a client of Michelle's in the 90's my career, family obligations and life got in my way of continuing to get my facials and massages, what a huge mistake. I just went back and she is just as fabulous as I recall, the very best facial available. I had tried a few places over the years after I lost contact with Michelle and always yearned for her magic. Luckily she got me in when I recently called and I am so grateful! If you haven't tried her you probably have never had a real facial! Her massage work is equally fabulous. I am looking forward to regular visits! read more

She made my skin issues go away! And its been two weeks, and I still have beautiful skin. Aside from her knowledge of skin, she is a nice person to be around and spend an hour with. Found her on a Facebook live South Park Small business walkabout. I called & made an easy appointment. Free parking, right in front! By the way, I have 42 year old San Diego Skin. Can't wait to see what her own skin care line can do for me. read more

I also buy Michelle's absolute miracle cream is the BEST!!!!!! I am so happy to let everyone know what a Great place Absolute Skin and Body is, my foutain of youth! read more

Such a great experience! I've been dealing with a bout of adult onset acne that has not been clearing up on its own. I finally decided to go get a facial and I'm so happy I did. Michelle worked wonders in getting me cleared up and while that part can be bit uncomfortable (anywhere you go) to counter any discomfort i may have felt while getting my blackheads and pimples eradicated, I received a shoulder massage, a foot rub, an incredible head and face massage, a sound bath healing and a chakra clearing. As if that wasn't awesome enough, after we were done Michele offered me an optional angel card reading...which I of course took her up on. Not only did I receive amazing help with getting the acne I've been dealing with cleared up, I also received an experience that made me feel incredibly cared for, relaxed and rejuvenated. I feel like going to Absolute Skin gave me a total mind-soul-body healing experience. I left feeling great about my skin and in a great head space. On top of all of my great experience with the facial services, Absolute Skin also carries an extensive selection of dermalogica products for every skin type and has really cute jewelry in shop that has been hand selected from gem shows across the country. read more

My husband and I stumbled upon this spa a few years back at a South Park Walkabout. We were greeted by some friends of the owner who drew us in and up the stairs to the spa. My husband bought me a facial certificate and soon after, I was hooked! The facials are fabulous! Michelle is pure magic and has such amazing energy. Every birthday, Christmas, and Mother's Day I ask for a gift certificate to see Michelle. The signature facial is the best and you won't regret it! read more

I went here for a Signature Facial the first time a few weeks ago, and I'll be back for more. Love it...Michelle was fantastic. Extractions are painful to begin with but she was soothing as she popped, prodded and poked. The mask and peel were great and overall my experience was relaxing. Honestly, I have been getting facials for years and enjoy the spa atmosphere. The atmosphere here is quite different than what I am used to but once in the back room and getting an incredible massage, everything just melted. I booked an appointment right after my facial and plan to be a regular. I recommended my roommate and she had Chrissy, who she said was fantastic as well. They used Dermologica, which I love and will give samples of any product they recommend. read more

Michelle makes everyone welcome when you walk in the door to Absolute Skin. And although I have not had a facial from her (yet), I go to Absolute Skin for laser hair removal. Yes! She has registered doctors and nurses come twice a month if you need that Botox lift or hair removal. For 6 treatment sessions in which they let you pay per visit (and not lump sum), you too can be hairless. No more ten o'clock shadows in the pits from shaving daily. I noticed hair loss after three treatments. I can now sunbathe with my arms up. I'm ready for my next round of treatments... read more

I waited for my appointment for a month only to be sent off on the day as they have double booked. Not so much as an apology, just told me they don't have time to treat me. I came all the way from London. Unprofessional. read more

I had a lovely experience with Michelle getting the signature facial. I will definitely be back. Very relaxing & my skin has not looked better. Fast forward 1 week after my facial I am putting on makeup in the gym locker room and a random lady stops me and says "wow- your skin is so beautiful- i thought you had makeup on already".... Thank you Michelle! read more

Can't say enough wonderful things about Michelle!! Her skin care is incredible, but her waxing skills are what I have to praise the most!! I am not an easy client, well may hair isnt ;-) Thank you for keeping me "clean" all these years Michelle!! read more

I had a lovely rejuvenating facial with Michelle. She gave the best treatment with massage and some energy work too. The product lines are great and she knows them very well so you'll be sure to find the right product for your skin. If you're into taking care of yourself and treating yourself right go see her for a signature facial. read more

What a wonderful new experience for me. I started my series of laser removal treatments today and walked away pleasantly surprised and happy. Very warm and friendly service. I was a bit apprehensive when I entered and I was quickly put at ease by Michelle. A very cozy and relaxing atmosphere with very personal service...couldn't ask for more. Will definitely be returning for more pampering:) read more

Michelle's work is excellent! She's a true professional and a warm, encouraging personality. The difference and improvement in my 52 yr old face is amazing. I had never taken skin care seriously, and the neglect showed.. I had my first facial with MIchelle 1 1\2 years ago. I love my skin now!. It's soft and healthy looking. Michelle listened to my concerns and corrected my skin problems. She never pushed products or services. I asked. She advised. The products deliver as promised. Excellent results! I look forward to my facials with Michelle. This is the only pampering I permit myself, and it's worth it! The relaxation is awesome, too. Very healing. Ann L. read more

I used to go to Michelle for waxing and facials religiously eons ago back in the day when she was still in Banker's Hill. I was in South Park recently and saw her salon which prompted me to write a review, which is way overdue. Michelle is such a great person with a good energy. She would always make sure I was comfortable (despite getting my hairs ripped out). I remember always feeling tranquil and relaxed when I would be in her place. I ended up getting laser hair removal so didn't need the waxing anymore, but am thinking of coming back in for a facial. read more

Absolute Skin is by far the best kept secret of South Park, if not all of San Diego. Please don't let the smallness of the location scare you. Michelle is absolutely amazing. Her services are way above most, truly remarkable! read more

I booked a facial with Michelle based on the reviews I read here and was not disappointed. Fantastic facial, relaxing, calming, soothing, it was all the pampering I was looking for. And it included what was probably the best face massage I've ever had. read more

Michelle is a one stop for skin rejuvenation. She develpoed some of he products she use under the name brand "Absolute Miracle". I'm repeatedly told that I look 5 years younger since I've been seeing Michelle occasionally. She also uses some European lines and overall has a passion and understanding that goes well with her intuitive healing spirit. Last but not least she is generous with her time and you never feel rushed. On the contrary, you feel nurtured and ready to face the day (no pun intended). read more
