I had my first 90-minute massage with Julie at Peel last night, and it was absolutely perfect from…read morestart to finish. Starting with booking, so much care was taken to ensure I had the opportunity to communicate what I like and don't like, tailoring the session to make sure I got the exact experience I was looking for. Peel is boutique, calm, and incredibly relaxing, featuring one of the most comfortable massage tables I've ever experienced. Julie's massage is highly intuitive, striking the perfect balance between long, flowing strokes and targeted, expert attention where I needed it. Her pressure was perfect. Knowing she recently returned to San Diego from Esalen, I couldn't be more excited to welcome her back to the neighborhood. I've already booked my next appointment!

I live in North Park and found Peel Simply Skin after noticing their sidewalk sign. I figured I'd…read moregive it a shot, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made for my body. Julie is incredibly professional and takes the time to understand exactly what's bothering you before she even starts. We talked through the areas where I was dealing with chronic tension and pain, and she explained how she'd approach the session. The massage was exactly what I needed. She worked out knots and tight muscles that have been bothering me for a long time, but somehow managed to keep the entire experience relaxing from beginning to end. Great pressure, amazing technique, and a smooth flow that never felt choppy or clinical. I signed up for the monthly membership before I left because it honestly offers a lot for the price. The gratuity is already included, you get a complimentary enhancement every month, and seeing the same therapist regularly just makes sense if you're serious about feeling better. I also asked about using my HSA. While they're still looking into accepting HSA payments directly, they were more than happy to provide a detailed invoice for reimbursement, and I appreciated that the owner immediately started researching it after I asked. Julie only sees a handful of clients each day so she can give everyone her full attention. Do yourself a favor and book ahead because I don't think openings will last long. If you're a first time massage client, you'll also get 15% off your first appointment. Highly recommend.

I've been coming to Royal Skincare for over a year now, and it's honestly one of the best self-care…read moreinvestments I've made. My skin has come such a long way. My acne and hyperpigmentation have improved tremendously since I started. The products they use smell amazing, and every session feels like a true reset. I always leave feeling relaxed and my skin looking noticeably better. Consistency has been key, and having a monthly subscription makes it easy to stay on track with my skincare goals. Helen the owner is wonderful and Jayden is such a sweetheart. Can't recommend this place enough if you're looking for real, lasting results paired with a relaxing experience.

Most skin care places are closed on Sundays but Royal Skin Care was opened and I decided to give it a try after reading seeing their convenient hours and all the stellar Yelp reviews. From the very start, it was a great experience, I was easily able to book online and learn more about the different treatments they offer. I decided to go with the Basic Needs 50min facial - "This customized treatment begins with a deep cleanse, followed by manual or enzymatic exfoliation to resurface the skin and then light extractions. Custom vitamin masks based on your skin needs. Finish with red LED therapy to boost elasticity, collagen production, and product absorption." My esthetician was Valerie and she was wonderful. It was such a relaxing and comfortable experience. She was even able to remove a stubborn blackhead I've had for a while. After the 50 minutes, my skin was visibly more hydrated and smoother. The establishment is clean and it's located inside a small shopping center so parking wasn't a struggle (and it's free). One of my goals for this new year is to take better care of my skin and I'm so happy to have found a place that will help me accomplish that. Will definitely be returning!

I had such an incredible experience at La Di Da Sugaring! I booked a facial with Azure, and I…read morehonestly can't recommend her enough. Azure is one of those rare people who is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. She made me feel completely comfortable from the moment I walked in, took the time to assess my skin, and explained everything she was doing throughout the treatment. My skin looks brilliant, radiant, refreshed, and healthier than it has in a long time (early 40s takes its toll!) One of the biggest wins was that she was able to remove a ton of stubborn blackheads that had been bothering me, and my skin feels so much smoother because of it. She also gave me thoughtful, personalized recommendations for my skincare routine going forward without ever making me feel pressured to buy products. The space itself is clean, modern, calming, and with a beautiful view overlooking Balboa Park, which made the entire experience feel even more relaxing. If you're looking for an esthetician who is knowledgeable, genuinely caring, and delivers amazing results, I highly recommend booking with Azure. I'll absolutely be back and will be recommending her to my friends and family!

They address your concerns while giving you the facts (straight, with a little bit of a chaser), educating you about your skin and what it's going to take to achieve the desired results. They're passionate about skincare and their clients. My skin feels safe with them. They are truly the crème de la crème of skincare and kindness.

Mind you, I haven't used any of the packages yet and I just decided I'll just go through with the facials. He did not respond to any of my text or phone calls. This is very unprofessional of him. He could at least let me know his future plans instead of completely ignoring me.
