I am writing to share my wonderful experience with Natasha at Bare Skin Beauty. Although I first visited through a Groupon promotion, I have returned numerous times because of the exceptional quality of her work. Natasha's attention to detail is incredible, and she always ensures I am comfortable. She is consistently patient and informative, taking the time to answer all of my questions during my appointments. Even though I have a one-hour commute and many other options nearby, I continue to make the trip because she truly is the best. I highly recommend her services. read more

I purchased a Groupon deal for microneedling. I called and scheduled an appointment for today June 22nd at 9am. I arrived at 8:45 am and was welcomed by receptionist and informed her that this was my first time ever having microneedling. She reassured me that I made a great decision. I was then taken into a room for pictures of my skin. After the pictures I was taken to the procedure room and did my medical assessment by zoom with the physician assistant. After being cleared the receptionist brought me a bottle water and advised me that Perla had just arrived and she would be in momentarily to go over everything. I waited less than 5 minutes and Perla came in and we had a great conversation about what I wanted to achieve with my skin and my problem areas. Perla then put numbing cream on my face and advised that she would leave it on for 15 minutes. I was really impressed because every question I had about the process she answered and explained everything step by step. After the numbing cream she cleaned my face and put on an astringent and began microneedling. I thought it was going to be painful and that I was going to bleed. It actually tickles in some areas of the face and neck but I did have a little discomfort on the forehead and nose area. After it was over Perla did show me the areas that I had some redness but stated that would go away within a few days. Perla also advised me to use tinted sunscreen and gave me her recommendations on how to care for my skin. I immediately seen a difference and will be scheduling another appointment in 6 weeks for another session. I was really satisfied and highly impressed! Oh! I almost forgot after my service was over I was trying to redeem my Groupon deal and the Groupon site was having problems. I tried to access it several times and the receptionist tried on her end to access the site and nothing was happening. After 20 minutes the receptionist inquired if I would allow her to stay logged into my Groupon and she would take care of it and call me once the payment cleared. I felt bad for leaving unsure about the payment because I had never used Groupon and wanted to make sure that the business was paid for my services. About 10 minutes after I left I received a call from the receptionist that the website was up and running and she was able to redeem the Groupon payment. This was a bonus for me that I patronized an excellent business! I will definitely be back for future services! Thank you Bare Skin Beauty! You're wonderful! read more

Bare Skin Beauty - Cooling my face down after the microneedling session - Skin Care Near Me - La Mesa, California

See all

Found this gem on Groupon. I usually only get my 11's done and use about 20 units, which is what this Groupon was for. They honored the price of the Groupon and I was able to pay directly at their office. Their injector, Natasha, was very personable, made sure I was comfortable with the plan and had a very soft hand. I just had it done yesterday and I am already starting to see the results! This will definitely be my go-to location for Botox! read more

I had Botox with Natasha on Friday 9/20. She is so kind! Very clean place, wonderful service and *almost* pain free. 10/10- I'll see ya in a few months! read more

I can't say enough good things about Natasha. She is kind, attentive, and incredibly skilled. The whole experience was top-notch, and I left feeling great. Highly recommend! read more

Perla is absolutely amazing. She made my first laser experience so comfortable and easy. Office was clean and everyone that works there is so sweet and welcoming. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for laser hair removal!!! read more

Love this place, Perla is amazing! I am on my 4th session of microneedling with her and the results and service have been exceptional every single time! 10/10!!! read more

Loved the experience going to the office and getting Botox with Natasha (sp?) this afternoon! She was fantastic, informative and didn't go overboard with how many units she put into my face. She was efficient, really gentle and I felt extremely minimal discomfort ( it's needles- you're going to feel at least a little pinch- but she was super gentle with her approach!). Had a great experience, will be bringing my partner in soon (who she even let watch because he is curious about getting some Botox) for his own appointment. Overall great experience- even the Front Desk Support was very sweet, very friendly and they really were mindful of everyone's time. We definitely found our new med spa here in SD! read more

I have experienced a lotttttt of beauty shops over the past 20 years and this is one of the best I have been to. I have only received electrolysis services here although I know there is a more expansive menu. I drive out of my way to come here even though there are services much closer to where I live because of the quality of service. My list of notable qualities: -Easy parking -Gentle and mindful services -Stella patiently explains all services to make sure clients are fully informed of procedures and their choices -Stella's electrolysis has results and I have not had scarring or burns -Comfortable office -Excellent playlists -Uses online booking forum. Booking, rescheduling, cancelling is easy. Sends reminder the day before. -Professional: punctual and has never cancelled -Excellent prices for services -Accommodating: Accepts multiple forms of payment -I do not feel judged or evaluated. Just worth mentioning because I have had a lot of other places make unnecessary comments on my body. If that's a concern for you I don't think you will have to worry here read more

My favorite med spa the staff is very knowledgeable, attentive, kind, and has great communication. The clinic is clean, parking is easily accessible. I had filler done by Natasha I'm blown away by the results. Perla made me feel very comfortable being a first timer with bikini laser hair removal she took her time and walked me through it making sure I wasn't experiencing too much discomfort. I left this clinic feeling confident and in love with my results. read more

Very personable, and caring, a friendly staff and a great array of services. Let them explain the different services they provide. That's exactly what they do. They don't push any services on you but give you the opportunity to see what fits your needs. read more

Just had my second Potenza RF microneedling procedure. Dr. Alan & Perla (RN) are professional, know what they're doing - and above all, I trust them. The spa is pristine & welcoming. This little gem of a med-spa is a San Diego best in class. Highly recommend! read more

I saw Stella today for electrolysis and it was a nice experience. Her location is easy to find with a lot of available parking. These days, I've been finding myself waiting past my appt time for other services with other businesses, and it was nice to walk in like 5 minutes early and find that Stella wasn't still with another client. I usually get electrolysis done, but we ended up doing thermolysis since my hairs were coming out well. She explained to me that it takes less time for thermolysis and we ended up being able to zap all the hairs I wanted to, which was rare with my last electrologist. She finished the session off with applying aloe to the areas and sent me on my way. It's a little bit of a drive from where I live, but I plan to continue to see Stella. Her online booking is easy peasy, she's nice, the location is handy if you have other errands to run, and her rates are reasonable. read more

Super Friendly Stella and Super Effective Treatments I went to Stella for electrolysis and it has been great. It was my first time trying electrolysis and I was worried it would hurt. Its weird, but not painful at all imo. I highly recommend Stella for her empathy and professionalism. Call her and make an appt--you wont regret it. read more

Stella is amazing! I contemplated electrolysis for years, and finally went to Stella for a free consultation after seeing her ad and reading her reviews... she is so knowledgeable, but most importantly put me at ease when I felt really embarrassed and vulnerable with how my face looked. I had been tweezing my hairs daily for about 15years, oh the damage I did!!! And now, the results I have are AMAZING! Stella is highly skilled which is exactly what I wanted when I decided to finally take the plunge and start paying for this very personal service. Prior to Stella I wouldn't let anyone near my face, let alone touch it, and now I show it off to everyone I see! I no longer feel the need to touch my face 50x a day to check for new hairs because there are none! For me finding Stella has been life changing for my mental health!!! I've also started to do microdermabrasion facials with her and wow! From the robes, to the lighting, the products, sooo relaxing! I wish I had found Stella years ago! The location is also super convenient, right off the freeway, plenty of free parking, lush gardens, clean, inviting and she's open Saturdays, all a huge bonus. read more

What a great experience! After 5 years of lash extensions at another salon I thought I'd branch out and try another with hopes of finding a more natural look. I went to the right place... they had several options, and services. The spa was beautiful and peaceful. The owner Stella is fantastic, and Kim was so great I fell asleep and woke up with great lashes! I also appreciate the convenient location with easy parking. You can count on me to be a loyal customer going forward read more

Bare Skin Beauty - Skin Care Near Me - La Mesa, California

I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Stella is knowledgeable and experienced (more than 20 years!) and she's also friendly and as gentle as possible (for the service). I've been getting electrolysis from her since February. It is a slow process, and she tried her best to explain that, which is much appreciated. I will update when we are finished with our sessions, but I am confident that I will be happy and hair free within a couple more months. The location is in a quiet but accessible part of La Mesa. And the medical offices have a lot of parking. Her office is very clean and calming, and the staff are all very friendly. They also offer massage, waxing, microblading for eye brows, and eye lash extensions. read more

I get electrolysis from Stella every month. She is an absolute sweetheart! I appreciate how professional and understanding she is. The environment that she's created in her office is very comfortable and welcoming. I would definitely recommend Stella to anyone that's looking for hair removal! read more

I came to Stella a few years ago for electrolysis treatments. She tends to over-promise and under-deliver. She looked at the area I told her I wanted completely cleared of hair and she told me it would just take 10 sessions, so I started going to her for treatments because I figured it was reasonable to go here for just 10 sessions and have all the hair permanently removed. However, I went to her for multiple sessions, we went past 10 sessions and the area was nowhere close to being cleared. I still had a ton of hair in the area. She just lied to me and promised me it would be clear because she wanted to get more customers and wanted to take my money. She had just opened the store and told me she didn't have that many clients since it was a new location. I should have known better but I was new to all of this and she took advantage of that. I was also very young so I didn't know any better. I have wasted hundreds of dollars here. I've gone to other aestheticians that also do electrolysis after Stella and they told me the work she did was not good and the method she used was deliberately slow which just takes much longer than it should and takes out less hair. I do not recommend this place at all. I've gone to aestheticians that do electrolysis way better than Stella, so I personally don't recommend her. Huge waste of money. I feel that I was basically scammed. read more

Stella is amazing! She makes you feel like you've known here for years. Everything is super clean and you feel super at ease and comfortable in your treatments. I highly recommend Stella! I've been having electrolysis treatments and have seen major improvements! read more

Stella is simply amazing - I followed her from another location because I've never had someone who is so attentive, personable, and professional. I have very blond hair which a lot of people miss - not Stella! If you are looking for a great experience check out her amazing new space, I promise you won't regret it no matter what service you choose! read more

I used a groupon for a brazilian wax once and I don't think I'll ever go anywhere else again. Stella was so kind, gentle and welcoming. I was extremely overgrown and she took the time to trim, wax in small sections and clean up missed spots. She explained the uses of different waxes with different hair types and she was very careful in her work. I've never experienced such a detailed and careful wax. Going from chain wax places, to someone who actually cares about her work, makes the world of a difference. I highly recommend Stella for any hair removal services. read more

I've been going to Stella for electrolysis for a while now (it takes time to get all those hairs) and she's wonderful! I just got eyelash extensions here from Kim Thuy and she was great too. She answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable despite my fears due to having sensitive eyes. read more

Stella at Bare Skin Beauty is amazing! I am always very self-conscious because I have coarse hair on my chin and a ton of peach fuzz. I never wear makeup and I was getting to the point that I hated to be up close to a person. I went to Stella, almost in tears. Stella takes the time to explain the treatment and is very sweet and professional. I am so thankful to have Stella in my life! read more

I went into the Bare skin spa for a Brazilian wax and half leg wax and I have never been happier with a service. The atmosphere of the spa is so pretty and tranquil. All the staff is welcoming and kind. My service was amazing, I've never had smoother skin! Their wax was gentle and smelled really nice! My wax expert was so knowledgeable and introduced me to different services she offered. I will definitely be back! read more

this place is the best! I had a great experience here. When I first arrived, they took me in right away with no wait at all. Amanda was the one that did my eyelash extensions & they came out amazing. Every time I go, she makes me feel really comfortable & the lashes always come out great! I will definitely be going back to Amanda for more eyelash extensions. Everyone here is really friendly & they take care of you really well. read more

Stella is hands down the best!!! Love her! I went to Stella for some electrolysis. Her place is quaint, cute, clean, and comfortable. She greeted me such a warm smile. We had spoken over the phone prior to my appointment. Once at her salon Stella educated me on the ugly truth of hair follicles. The electrolysis it self wasn't bad. I was a bit concerned about the pain associated with electrolysis but surprisingly enough for ME it wasn't bad. I had no numbing cream, and took no pain meds. Although this wasn't painful for me another person my find it uncomfortable. I've booked my next appointment already. Please try not to use any groupon coupons because Stella doesn't reap the monetary benefits from them. Thank you Stella !! See you in two. read more

This is my third time here. I am a guy and new to waxing . Stella is great. She is patient and through. She takes her time and always checks to see how I am doing. I never feel rushed. As a guy it could be uncomfortable but Stella's great personality puts you at ease. The place and the room is clean too. ( Or I would not have gone back) . She is the owner so customer satisfaction is important. Highly recommend the place. read more

I can't emphasize how dirty this place was the environment is nice however the floors were filthy, No customer service skills it seemed like a one man shop. Maybe I should've read reviews first. Definitely wouldn't recommend. Lastly, it was very difficult to find! read more

I come to see Amanda for my lash extensions, she's the only person I trust with my lashes! So much so that I followed her from a different lash studio and Bare Skin Beauty has treated me even better than the previous studio. The facility is clean, I never have to wait, and everyone is so friendly! I pre-book all my appointments with Amanda because she's simply the best! read more

Stella is wonderful. Starting with a no cost 30 minute consult. Previous experience with electrolysis was painful. Not with Stella!
