Caman W.

This is my second time at this spa, and it's my regular place now. I did a lymphatic massage with Gua Sha and a body massage combination, and I really enjoyed it. The therapists did an amazing job and professional. I always feeling relaxed and cared for! I really like their Christmas decorations!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE Jessie !!! She's the best. I went in for a lash extension set and she did amazing . I couldn't be any happier w my set . I love this spa, they literally have everything you could ever ask for .

Always great massages and you are able to ask for a greater focus on one area than another. Hot stones are fantastic and vibe is calming. There's heated blankets on the beds to warm you up during the colder months. I will say I wish there were softer towels on the place where your face goes because the paper towels tend to irritate my skin towards the end. Super nice staff and you can select if you'd prefer to have a man or woman. The essential oils are nice but I wish it was a little more jazzed up like with a diffuser or rubbing their hands with the oil and placing it under our noses for a full experience.

Five stars aren't enough to reflect how wonderful Hibiscus is! I've been a client for at least four…read moreyears. Both my mother and my husband have also been and we all agree Andreea, Carlos and the rest of the staff are fantastic. (Side note, my mother and I rarely agree on anything!) In my experience, all of the team at Hibiscus are true healers. Body pain and stress, skin flare ups, even mental stress, they want to help heal where you need it. And, if you don't need healing but just want a massage to relax or a facial to look better, they do an excellent job there too! Andreea has done her research on the best ingredients for your skin. Everything is customized to your skin type and skin needs. I've probably had facials from 15 different people over the years and Andreea is the best. One thing I love about Andreea (and Delores too!) is they let you set the tone for how much you want to chat. There is always plenty of parking and their waiting room is a peaceful place to relax before or after treatments. After writing this review, I'm ready to book another appointment!

She has been slowly correcting that, and my stance and posture are coming back to the place where it should be. My body is slowly regaining the ease which it had when I was younger.

I've always been very happy with the treatments, but the 1-1 1/2-hour round trip was becoming a bit much, so I decided it was time to see if I could find someone closer to home. That led me to Samuel Khrapov, RN, MSN, at Drop of Paradise. I thought I'd give Samuel a try and see how it went. Well, the trial was a definite success! Samuel was warm, professional, knowledgeable, and very thorough. Just as importantly, I was extremely pleased with the HydraFacial itself and how my skin looked and felt afterward. I've had enough of these treatments by now to know when one is done well, and Samuel did an excellent job. I went in simply hoping to find a convenient alternative and came away having found my new regular provider. I plan to continue seeing Samuel every six weeks. The fact that he is much closer to home and charges a more reasonable price than I've been paying elsewhere makes the decision even easier. Very happy to have discovered Samuel and Drop of Paradise. Highly recommended!

He's the best, just the best! I would never go anywhere else. Thank you Sam, you're the man!…read moreJeuveau is by far the greatest product I've use on my face.

Visits to Francesca are like mini vacations. It's almost unreal how relaxing her space and…read moretreatments are, and we're so lucky to have her in El Cerrito. I've always left her care feeling perfectly refreshed and renewed. All her products are super high quality but I haven't ever felt pressured into buying anything like I often do elsewhere...although I now have a growing collection of Botnia and other amazing items she's introduced me to. From the moment you step inside this little oasis, you're enveloped in a blanket of serenity, comfort, and beauty. You can tell that everything has been carefully and lovingly curated for your ultimate experience. Francesca's methods and knowledge are well-practiced and very evident; she has spent a lot of time honing her craft and it's obvious why she's always booked out so far in advance. I wholeheartedly agree with another client who wrote that what she provides is more of a form of therapy than anything else. I just wish I could see her more often!

I was shocked that I was told I'd have to pay $70 to reschedule my appt because I was 15 minutes…read morelate. (I accidentally took Arlington, forgetting that it's Colusa that goes to Fairmont, not Arlington; so I had to backtrack. In addition, it was very difficult for me to get away from work, as I work in a deadline-driven industry. This is why I also find it extremely inconvenient that this business is not open on weekends.) A facial is not something I would have purchased for myself, but this was a gift from my mom, who wanted me to experience a facial. This is why I especially wanted to experience the facial, not so much even for me, but because it meant something to my mom that I experience it. This being a 65-minute appointment that cost a lot at $150, being 15 minutes late would have left 50 minutes. I asked if she could do a shortened facial. (In my mind, that would have been plenty because this was something I have never experienced and didn't even know if I would like it.) But she said she would only be able to "put some cream on my face." She would neither agree to a shortened facial nor to rescheduling my appt without the steep charge of $70. Well, this seemed outrageous to me, so I was very angry but I did not lunge at her, as she wrote in a previous reply to an earlier review. That simply isn't true. The most upsetting thing was that she acted like the Queen of No from the moment I walked into the shop. UPDATE (4/12/25): For Francesca to state that I lunged at her is a flat-out lie. In addition, in her reply she is putting words in my mouth in many cases. Just one example: She wrote that I said that I didn't want a facial. What I in fact said was that "I would not have scheduled a facial for myself." That is not the same thing. Further, she states in her reply that "shortening a 65 minute treatment by *more than 15 minutes* is not something [she] is comfortable doing." If that is the case, then had she agreed upon my arrival at 15 minutes late to do a shortened facial, she could have proceeded with that right away, and we would not have have gotten to the "11:37" that she refers to. But no, the "Queen of No" wouldn't hear of doing anything to accommodate me, even as a first-time customer. She mentions that she texted me at 10 minutes after my appointment time but that I didn't reply. Well, of course I couldn't reply. If she had read my review she would have understood that I was driving at that time. She would have read that I said I accidentally took Arlington instead of Colusa and had to backtrack. But of course no leeway can be given even to a first-time customer who is not familiar with her location. After all, she is the Queen of No. Prospective customers may also be interested to know something else that I bet Francesca would not want them to know. That is that she illegally posted my photo on her company Instagram page, a photo for which I own the copyright. I had to ask Instagram to take it down, which they promptly did. And I can prove it.

Coming from a healthcare setting myself, I am big on treating patients as people and not a box one has to check. Suffice to say, introduce yourself. I had to ask her "Who are you? Because you never introduced yourself." I believe that is basic etiquette. Second, I was quick to notice the lack of patience with which my call was handled hours after my visit, the one where I had a chemical peel. (There was a whole lot of information to remember before the visit and they don't all sink in until you're done and you get the kit.) Otherwise I had a pleasant experience getting my first peel with Sheila/Shiela. I'm now on my 4th day post-procedure and looking forward to the results. I also want to acknowledge the wonderful experience I had weeks before that with Joy, who did my Dermplaning Facial, although I wish I had known sooner that if I did both at the same time, I could've saved a lot more.

I was a little anxious walking into my appointment, but all of that melted away as soon as I was greeted by an incredibly kind concierge. She was warm, attentive, and welcoming, and I felt comfortable from the moment I walked in. The environment was relaxing, clean, and inviting. I didn't have to wait for my appointment and was escorted to a private room, where I met with a very kind physician assistant. She simply asked me what had brought me in. As I explained my concerns, she asked thoughtful follow-up questions about how I was feeling, what I was concerned about, and what I hoped to achieve, rather than trying to just sell me some "magic solution". She walked me through all of my options and provided a lot of helpful information that made me feel confident in my decisions. I had mentally prepared myself for a sales pitch, but it never came. Instead, she listened carefully, explained how she could help, and let me decide what would best fit my goals and lifestyle. I left feeling relieved, informed, and genuinely excited for my next appointment. Most importantly, I felt heard.

There appears to be a more comfortable bed that she uses but not for every treatment. I came in for a facial with extractions which is one of her more basic treatments. I hurt my ankle climbing onto her small cot because my foot made contact with the heavy metal frame (big bruises on my ankle after impact on metal frame). There's several blankets but no mattress pad on a hard metal frame and the blankets were lumpy and uncomfortable to lay on top. She should put a thick pad on top of the metal cot so people don't get hurt like I did. Be careful if you have to use her small cot or request to use her more professional bed which she has on display next to this uncomfortable and dangerous hard cot. I have never seen anyone use this kind of cheap and unsafe set-up for a facial bed. Sad. The treatment itself was 50 minutes and involved a lot of hot towels, steaming and chemicals. Since I use tretinon which is a prescription strength retinol, my skin is very sensitive. Everything Peggy put on my skin including aloe vera burnt. The experience was unpleasant. Peggy herself was coughing a lot in the beginning of the treatment. The prices have increased a little bit from the website. Peggy gave me the website price after I pointed it out and I tipped her too. Update: I told Peggy that I wanted one particular milia extracted and this morning I noticed that it was not completely gone. Very disappointed, especially after her cot hurt my ankle.
