Where do I start? Probably from the front door. From the moment I walked by (yesterday) it was an experience like no other. The whole team went above all things to explain the products in such detail and also took the time to test the products on me. Such care, kindness, professionalism and eduction. I'm middle aged and have all the insecurities of aging skin - I'm truly grateful to have met the team here. Rose is next level experienced, warm and so knowledgeable (and intuitive to know what I wanted and needed). 5 stars. Go here if you're in La Jolla or San Diego in general -- especially if you care and are interested in skin care. Very happy with the experience and the products are amazing. Thank you again to Rose and the team. read more

There are 3 women here who do the actual skincare, and they are all professional. Ilia, Lexi and Elizabeth all do facials. Every one of these woman is great at what they do. The products are all wonderful as well. You'll have much better skin after using the products or booking a facial. A+ service every time. read more

I can't say enough amazing things about my esthetician! Ilia, She truly has the most amazing hands -- so gentle, precise, and relaxing. From the moment I walk in, I feel completely comfortable and cared for. My skin has never looked or felt better. You can tell she's passionate about what she does, and it shows in her work. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-tier skincare and a relaxing experience! read more

Do not let them put the awful cream on your eyes. It will turn into a crusty disaster. They give a sample on the streets, put some nasty cream on your eyes that turns crusty, do a compliment, then criticize your appearance, and then go for high-pressure sales. Spas that offer a good service do not have to haul victims in from the streets. read more

I heard about Aurarius from a friend of mine, I am suffering from a skin issue for the past 10 years and from the first facial I noticed the difference. My skin is calm, hydrated and even. I have been doing four facials so far and very happy with the results. I have also started using some of their line of products that seem to work pretty well. Will keep on coming to the spa. read more

I have been doing the collagen treatments at the Coronado spa and have had great experiences. My skin looks amazing and the staff are all very professional and friendly. read more

Rose at the Coronado location was truly amazing to work with. She sat me in her chair and treated me like a queen while we talked about my skincare concerns. Starting with the Non Surgical Eye Lift Solution, the results were instant and the product is worth every penny! When I arrived a week later for the Signature Truffles Facial she asked if anyone had complimented my skin yet and assured me that it was forthcoming. She was right! Two days after my facial and a week of using the Advanced Truffles line, a friend asked if I got botox on my forehead (never have done botox) and my skin really is radiant and looking better than it ever has. I highly recommend! read more

AMAZING! Okay, full disclosure, first time facial and oh my God I had no idea what I've been missing out on. The smells, the messages, the hot towels and my skin! Ilia is a goddess and made magic happen on my skin. Could not recommend her enough! Thank you Iliad and Aurarius. read more

The La Jolla location is wonderful. An oasis of calming self care, in the heart of La Jolla. Ilia takes her time and with the facial. She caters to the needs of your skin, no matter which facial you choose. You will leave with smooth, moisturized and vibrant skin. I highly recommend Spa by Aurarius. read more

The three stars are for Hiroko because her facial massages are truly amazing. She also massaged my hands and forearms and I've never had that done with a facial, it was amazing. Minus 2 stars for the aggressive sales tactics, I told them I had a burning sensation which I believed to be from the fragrance in the product. I wasn't trying to get a refund or complain, just suggesting they have unscented options for those of us with sensitive skin but I was just pressured to buy products. Like, hello, I just spent 325 + 20tip + sales tax on a facial...just thank me for my business and let me be on my merry way. If the sales were not so aggressive, I'd return for another facial because my skin feels and looks great but I don't want to fight for my life by saying no to purchasing product just to leave a store after spending 100's. read more

Phenomenal service. Love to have the spotlight & a place to relax after a long week. Always leaving better than I came. Champagne, youthful energy, fantastic views of the ocean, & an amazing spa... the only thing they are missing is competition. Their team is so thoughtful & assuring. A clear reflection of the management. 10/10 read more

ILLUSIONAL YOUTH SERUM (3 stars) It was like a magic trick until you discover that magic is just an illusion. While walking my dog I was approached by the front sales person enticing bystanders with free samples - similar to those inside malls selling stuff at the kiosks. I normally don't stop but I felt bad because all other people walking by were ignoring her yet she continued to be pleasant. She really was very pleasant. So I stopped just to stop but I know all about what's to come. "Where are you from" (clearly she's mistaken me from a tourist than a local) "Your hair looks amazing" (I get this alot by a lot of people even though I literally just rolled out of bed. I'm blessed. At the same time I wasn't sure if she was truthful or lying through her teeth) "Since I like you.. let me give you a sample" (hands me a sample but then quickly slides in for another sales move" "Lift up your sunglasses let me put something on your eye" (lol I play oblivious and roll with it because I have nowhere else to be) Some eye serum was applied to one eye. I was told to come back in a few minutes so I could see the difference and fix my other eye. Few minutes later I took a glance and saw my dark eye circle smooth out. Did I return to fix the other eye? No. Because that would be the draw to bring me inside and sell me more (unwanted) products. I know about these products - it's just an "illusion". Give it 2hrs it will be back to dark circles. Wash off the serum it will be back to dark circles. I wanted to prove my own theory true. The serum "felt" tightening when applied. But later it's a very thin layer over the skin. It does crust up and gets a little flaky. I washed the serum off and my dark circle was back. Don't fall for this and spend hundreds (if not, thousands) on this illusional eye serum. Honestly, this is great if you have a photo ops or somewhere where you need your eyes to look depuffed and smooth for less than 2hrs. It's one of those quick fixes that wear right off. If you really want permanent results, spend your money on laser treatment or blepharoplasty. The latter would be the best of choice over any serum. read more

I have never experienced such appalling, high-pressure sales tactics in my life. This place is worse than a shady used car lot trying to sell snake oil. They prey on people, luring them into the store with false promises, only to push outrageously overpriced creams that do absolutely nothing. The sales staff is aggressive and downright rude the moment you decide not to buy. It's clear they're only interested in making a quick buck, not in providing quality products or genuine customer service. I honestly have no idea where all the glowing reviews are coming from not from these sales people don't be fooled. This place is a complete scam. I will be crossing the street just to avoid ever having to deal with these despicable, high-pressure salespeople again. Steer clear. read more

Ilia and Hiroko gave us the best facials. They make us feel comfortable, relaxed, and pampered. My face looks 5 years younger. Can't wait until my next facial! read more

My facial was amazing! The products, Hiroko , the atmosphere, all were beautiful. I feel like a lucky person getting to be pampered at this spa. I highly recommend Aurarius Spa! Enjoy! read more

My husband and I were approached while walking past the store in La Jolla.I was offered a free sample which led to being invited into the store. I usually turn down "free" samples but on this particular day, I decided to throw caution to the wind. The young lady who showed me the eye serum was sweet but very sales oriented and aggressive. I liked the eye serum and mask I tried but was not open to spending the quoted price. We ended up getting both products at half the initial price . My husband gifted me with the products otherwise I probably wouldn't have purchased anything. I did not like the fact that they started trying to cross sell us on something else before we had a chance to leave the store. Overall, the products are okay but I haven't used them long enough to see a noticeable difference. read more

I just finished the truffle facial with Lexia in the Coronado store and spa. it was amazing !!! I recommend the truffle facial it was great experience and I enjoyed the treatment my skin feels amazing 5 stars read more

RUN! Don't walk away, run AWAY as fast as you can! 1st star was removed because of the extreme HIGH PRESSURE SALES tactics which began on the sidewalk with a seductive little sample! 2nd star was removed because of the shameless PREYING ON THE ELDERLY (ok I am a senior citizen who does not process as fast as their wiley gimmicks) 3rd star was removed because of complete DISREGARD FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE as soon as the multiple slick forms were signed guaranteeing there would be no chance in hell of honoring buyers remorse or return of unopened goods even from closing time in the evening to opening time the next morning. This is NOT Nordstrom. 4th star was removed because of NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE for gold in products as anti-aging or improving wrinkles in humans. I personally felt scammed and foolish for succumbing to the pressures. NEVER AGAIN! PLEASE, PLEASE learn from my mistake. All that glitters is not gold or golden. read more

Rose the manager and the staff treat me like royals. I have been going to that spa for about two years. My husband as well... I bought the in home laser and the products... I am 62 and look around 40-45 read more

Facial was great. Hiroko's hands were so gentle and soothing. I was so relaxed I fell asleep. Face felt so hydrated and soft afterwards.

I was sucked in and they were pouring champagne even after I had said no a few times they poured another glass and in the end when I pulled out my card, they ran to the register without taking a breath and charged my card and didn't mention there were no refunds and both sides of my face broke out because the serums are too thick! BEWARE!!! I wish I would have checked the reviews beforehand, but I was too tipsy from the champagne they kept pouring 4 glasses of champagne, to finally get me to agree to the purchase. I have a feeling I will need to get my lawyer involved. No one will ever make a good decision drunk or high and such a large amount of money involved $4900k I was never told at any time that this is a final sale and the product cannot be returned. Very deceptive sales practices. I was served (4) six ounce glasses of champagne to finally get me to agree to the purchase after saying NO repeatedly. California law has clearly stated only one 6 ounce glass of wine can be served to a client. (See California Law Below) CALIFORNIA LAW Assembly Bill 1322: SECTION 1. Section 23399.5 of the Business and Professions Code is amended to read: (3) No more than 12 ounces of beer or six ounces of wine by the glass is offered to a client. This place was sued back in 2017 and 10 NEWS did a report on this business!!! read more

Well... I didn't plan to put this review but when a place deserves it you have to shout it. I walked around and a guy name Daniel approached me, he was so polite and welcoming. I asked him a lot of questions and was worried about the process but he made everything so easy and relaxing. Its the 3rd time for me here and I just can't complain about anything. If you go there make sure to ask for Daniel! read more

Thank you Olivia and Nir for your hospitality, knowledge and kindness. I celebrated my birthday there (mid April) and you all made it perfect, as I just wanted to shop and be pampered. My husband and I love all the products purchased and see a significant change in our skin. No more Botox! The facials we had the next day made us feel so relaxed for our flight home. Fantastic vibes all around! read more

I have been a patron of Aurarius for over five years now. The service and genuine dedication at this place is second to none in the San Diego area. I have frequented spas around the world and up and down the California coast and have found that this is truly a one of a kind gem. Since the first time I stopped to chat with Shoval at the Prospect street location I have been a regular visitor. Specifically, as a long time surfer who is exposed to the sun often my main interest was in UV protection and mitigating the damage caused by my surf bum lifestyle. I genuinely look 6 years younger than my chronological age, so we will either give the credit to Aurarius or to genetics! Whatever that case may be I am a big fan of this place and love their family like approach to business. Five stars all around hands down. read more

Great Service very patience. We're more than happy to help. Explain to me What treatments would go good with my skin

The staff at Aurarius in Coronado are all consistently gracious, pleasant & professional. And friendly - they're all really nice! I went there for what turned out to be an *AMAZING* facial from Hiroko. Not only was my skin *glowing* afterwards, but she includes an *incredible* massage of my hands & the base of my neck that practically leaves me in a trance. She has a magic touch. Seriously. It's unbelievable. So - if you want beautiful, glowing skin and an incredible spa experience, go to Aurarius in Coronado and ask for Hiroko! I cannot recommend her more highly or enthusiastically! She is GREAT! read more

We loved our couples facial today! It was so soothing, luxurious, classy and fantastic! So relaxing, with champagne kisses too! Thank you so much!! read more

Treat yourself! read more

I absolutely Love coming to Aurarius for all my skin care products and services. The staff there are so nice and informative about every product.

One of my favorite products is the Gold Element Crystal Foaming Cleanser. It makes my skin feel so fresh and clean with such a small amount of product. I highly recommend this product! read more

My wife and I have been using their products for at least 3-4 years. They take the time to analyze your skin. They prescribe a specific regimen. They follow up and re-evaluate your treatment as needed. The storefront in La Jolla is where they introduce and sell the products. They also have a location in Coronado. There is also a spa at both locations. There are sales persons, skin experts and estheticians at both locations. The sales people have great product knowledge and they can arrange a meeting with one of the skin experts (at no extra cost). Here is one thing I really like. The first product recommendation for my wife's skin type did not deliver the expected results. They took the time to re-evaluate and adjust her treatments and since then the results have been outstanding. My wife and I utilize their spa services for facials once per month. There are several esthetician's at each location but for us the licensed estheticians Lexi and Hiroko are amazing. They are both very professional, kind, and self educating - learning new techniques and applying them as needed. read more

The management in Spa by Aurarius were so caring and keen in details when it comes to my concerns. They were so kind and provide all the details that needed. They provide me the best skin care product and I was so satisfied and planning to go back in La Jolla.
