I did not want to have to write this. I've been a loyal client of Therapy since 2014 and was…read moreunderstanding when prices went up a few times, especially since everything else has gotten more expensive. I believed the new owners were using the extra funds to upgrade the spa, buy new equipment and pay employees better, at least according to their emails. Sadly, there's been a rapid decline in the business. The spa now looks dingy and neglected, and there's a foul odor throughout. The quality of facial and massage services dropped so much due to the constant turnover that I had to stop coming altogether. I had been seeing Chelsea Bowman and the master facialist Ami Sheneman for years. Both left, and no one contacted me to let me know I wouldn't be seeing them for my next appointment. I only found out when I showed up and discovered I'd be seeing someone else. The new girl Kendall, bless her heart--she tried her best, but it just wasn't the same. On top of it when I asked the girls at the desk where Chelsea and Ami went, each time they looked scared and uncomfortable answering. For anyone wondering where Ami went: I found her! She's now at Pier to Point down the street at the other end of Voltaire. I've already been there and signed up for multiple memberships. I highly recommend you do the same. It's such a shame about this spa since it's been part of the community for so long. Edit in response to the owner's comment: Thank you for your response. I want to clarify that my review was written in good faith based solely on my personal experience as a long-time client of your spa. I did not create my account with any intention of coordinating negative reviews or promoting a competitor. I have never had a Yelp account prior to this, which is why it is new. I've also never left a Google review prior to this either. My intention was to share my honest disappointment about the recent changes and lack of transparency when my preferred practitioners left, which significantly impacted my experience. I understand privacy policies, but as a loyal client, I felt it would have been more considerate to inform me prior to my appointment that my practitioners would no longer be there, enabling me to make the decision if I wanted to see someone new or not. This would have allowed me to cancel, so I could continue my services with the professionals I had established trust with. I stand by my original review and hope future communication with clients will be handled with greater openness and respect. Thank you.

It's a very relaxing environment, soothing music, and everyone is very warm and welcoming. I was gifted a massage for my birthday. I got a massage today by Gwen and she was absolutely amazing. She massaged me from head to toe and her hands are magical. I told her my problem areas and she really honed in on them with just the right amount of pressure. Honestly, the combo of the comfy warm bed and Gwen made me nod off for a while, it was so relaxing. I definitely recommend giving this place a try. The massages and other services are quite pricey, but they offer an affordable monthly membership which offers a free service monthly!

I've had a lot of massages over the years, and this was easily one of the top three I've ever experienced! Marian was absolutely amazing. She worked through all the tension in my upper back and neck with the perfect balance of pressure, effective but never painful, while still keeping the entire experience incredibly relaxing. What really stood out to me was how thorough she was. She didn't just focus on one area; she spent meaningful time on my arms, legs, hands, and feet, which often get overlooked. The hot stones on my back felt incredible, and I loved the added touches like the scalp treatment and facial massage, details that truly elevated the whole experience. It honestly felt like she intuitively knew exactly what my body needed. Another thing I really appreciated: she used the full 60 minutes. No rushing, no cutting corners, just a complete, unhurried experience from start to finish. At $110, I found it to be very reasonably priced, especially given how above-and-beyond the service was. I've already made a note to come back the next time I'm in town. Highly recommend Marian if you're looking for an exceptional massage in San Diego!

This was my first visit to Honest Skin in and I could not have asked for a better experience. Abri was so sweet and easy to talk to -- I felt completely comfortable from the moment I walked in. She truly knows esthetics inside and out. She took the time to educate me on my skin and walk me through which products would actually work for my specific needs, which I appreciated so much more than a generic routine. Abri was just genuinely fantastic; knowledgeable, warm, and super easy to vibe with. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a facialist who actually cares. I'll definitely be back!

I had my first facial here about a month ago. I was super excited because I had read the reviews…read morebeforehand and every one was amazing! I'll just share a few things about my experience here: 1. I firstly want to say that my facial was nice! It was relaxing, my skin didn't have any weird reactions, the studio was clean, everyone was super nice, and my skin looked great afterward. This is my first facial so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I would say I had a good experience. 2. Something I didn't love, however, was that I felt like I was being advertised to throughout my facial. I understand that they want to sell their products, but I didn't love that when I asked about alternatives that I could purchase from other places, I was told that nothing else was good enough and everything else had lesser quality ingredients, which I know isn't true. I didn't like feeling like I was being told their lines were the only "good" options. 3. Along the same lines, at the end of my treatment I was immediately asked to schedule my next facial. I felt put on the spot so I scheduled it, but didn't feel entirely comfortable with how pushy that part was. I ended up canceling it later. 4. I also wish each step of the facial had been explained to me as it happed, since this was my first facial and I didn't know what to expect. I did ask for that at the beginning but I think they forgot. It isn't a big deal, but without a heads up, some steps were a little jarring sometimes. My bottom line is that I think the facial was nice and I think my skin looks better because of it, but because of the other parts of the experience that felt a little uncomfortable, I'm going to try out another place for my next facial before returning.

Okay... where do I even start…read more I just had a facial at Kiwi Spa with Lisa and WOW. My skin has never felt this clean, fresh, and literally glowing. You know that feeling when your face just feels like it can breathe again? That's exactly it. Lisa is AMAZING. She didn't just rush through the service -- she really took her time, explained everything she was doing, and gave me so much helpful skincare advice that actually made sense. I left feeling like I not only got a facial, but a whole skincare education. We actually went for a bachelorette and they went ALL out for us The setup was so beautiful -- they had a charcuterie board, champagne, and the cutest little space that made it feel so special and fun. It honestly made the whole experience feel elevated and memorable. And the spa itself?? So clean, peaceful, and relaxing. The kind of place where you instantly feel calm the second you walk in. No joke... my skin looks so good right now I don't even want to wear makeup for weeks ! If you're thinking about booking -- DO IT. Highly, highly recommend Lisa at Kiwi Spa. You will leave glowing

Anyway, I found a convenient appointment in the late afternoon. Parking was easy, as there is a lot of free street parking nearby. When I entered, there was only one person working, as it was a small but cute space. They had a lot of skin care products displayed, and the waiting area looked comfortable. I was a few minutes early, but she was able to get me started right away. I thought the person who provided my service was very nice and acted professionally. Unfortunately, I thought the quality of the service was a bit lacking. She looked at my skin and said that I needed an enzyme mask, which was fine. I go to get facials so that someone else can take care of me and use their expertise. Anyway, she first did extractions. I counted and she did four... only four. I thought is was strange for a spa that states that they specialize in acne, and I had said that I wanted help with oily skin. Then she put the enzyme mask on and left for about 20 minutes. After that, she returned and did an arm and shoulder massage. It was very relaxing However, I really didn't want to come for a massage, I came for a facial. All in all, I felt that the hour -long service did not include a lot of skin treatment. The place was cute and comfortable, the experience was relaxing, but I don't feel I got much in return for the $115 price tag. I was hoping for more of a skin care experience.

Clinique Comforting Cold Cream…read more Ladies with sensitive and delicate skin - listen up! This rich cream is fragrance free and emoillient, yet it won't clog pores or cause blemishes. It's gentle, yet effective in removing even the heaviest makeup (stage or runway). You can even use on those peepers to remove waterproof mascara. The cream feels so soothing that you will not want to wash it off. Apply and remove with cold water or by patting down your skin with a damp washcloth. I use it when I travel for photo shoots because it's compact and serves the dual-purpose of removing face makeup and mascara. It's an all-around great multi-use product that does moisturize without adding oil.
