Have been getting monthly facials here for 5 months. My skin looks great and the service itself is lovely. I came in for my latest facial with a severe headache and Kalani went above and beyond to help ease it, giving me a longer message than usual and using the light therapy mask on the aches & pains setting. A truly caring aesthetician! read more

I guess my experience here was...fine? But for the price, I would expect better than fine, so I don't think I'll be back. My skin looked glowy for the rest of the day, but I woke up to no discernible difference. I'm not looking for miracles, but facials I've had in the past I can see the after effects of for at least a few weeks. Some turn-offs: -I could hear someone having a word-for-word, extremely loud conversation nearby the entire time -the neck/shoulder massage portion felt rough. I wasn't asked how the pressure felt once. -after the facial, I was immediately upsold to purchase skincare. I had to ask about the prices. I was also gently pressured to sign up for a monthly membership immediately, which is kind of wild for a first-time experience. I'm definitely looking for an aesthetician to form a regular relationship with, but I don't think this place will be it. read more

I booked a facial at Cheeks + Co Pasadena after a friend recommended it, and wow, what a gem! From the moment I walked in, the vibe was clean, modern, and so relaxing. It even smelled amazing. Even the bathroom felt luxe and thoughtful, which says a lot about the care they put into the space. My esthetician was wonderful. The whole experience felt pampering and soothing, even the extractions (yes, you read that right!). My one teeny tiny wish is that I would have loved more explanation as she went along about the products and steps being used. I would have happily splurged on skincare to take home if I had known what was on my face. That said, my skin was absolutely glowing when I left. It felt refreshed, hydrated, and just happy. Dehydration is usually my main issue, and this facial hit the reset button. Other little details I appreciated were the super convenient parking structure across the street. That's always a plus especially in Old Town Pasadena. Bottom line: if you are into self-care and skincare, this is your spot. I will definitely be back for another facial, maybe even to try a different treatment next time. read more

Maria helped me - I had an active breakout and she was great about gentle extractions. The shoulder massage was very relaxing and helpful given that I sit at a desk all day. Getting an appointment online was easy and the process for checking in was seamless. read more

Wow! Yesterday was my first time at Cheeks + Co and I was very impressed with both the service and the ease of checking in. I booked the Smooth Operator 90-minute facial with Emily, and she was amazing! She not only gave me an excellent facial but was also very knowledgeable and helpful in recommending a product to reduce my sun spots.I woke up this morning and my skin looked absolutely fabulous...brighter, smoother, and I could already notice fewer sun spots! Thank you, Emily! I will definitely be back! Parking: Super convenient with 2-hour validation at the lot across the street. read more

Wonderful experience! Took my mom here for her birthday and it was heavenly. Such a luxury!

I booked an appt with Jennifer after seeing the glowing reviews on yelp. It was my very first time getting a facial from an esthecian and Jennifer made the experience so comfortable. I was undecided on which facial service to get and she recommended I try the cleanser. She extracted some clogged pores but made sure to note to me that some are not going to be possible because it's not ready to be popped and avoided them so I didn't get hyperpigmentation. I loved that she was able to keep that in mind and never once damaged my skin!! After the appt, Jennifer gave me some product recs at the store as well as some other suggestions outside of it. She really made sure to show that she genuinely cares about the customer. My face was red for a few hours but within a few days, most of my breakouts disappeared. It's been almost 2 weeks and I've gotten so many compliments on my skin with the facial and Jennifer's suggested regimen This place is definitely a treat yourself type of experience read more

I love Cheeks + Co. I work all over town and it's wonderful to have two locations I can visit for my facials. I always have a fabulous experience no matter which location. Tina, the owner is incredibly professional, gentle, and very experienced at what she does. Her and her team are all wonderful. Highly recommend Cheeks if you're looking for a A+ experience! read more

Been going to Cheeks & Co. for several years. Their membership program is great. I've had 3 different estheticians over the years. Each one was great. I have Maria now, I love her and I have suggested friends to her who also love her. The facial choices are exceptional, I've tried several. My fav is their Gua Sha facial. Everyone at Cheeks & Co gets an A+ from me. Great location also. I can walk there!! read more

Everyone here is so so nice! I came here with my mom because we had received a gift card for a facial. When booking the appointment, I chose the option for them to see what my skin needed. I let them know my skin concerns and they got to work. It was super relaxing and they also did extractions. Not many places do extractions so I was pleasantly surprised! They removed a good amount of blackheads from my nose as well as a small pimple on my upper lip that I was too scared to touch. They also did light therapy and a plethora of face masks and oils. By the end of the facial, I was a huge grease ball but I know it would be so good for my skin. Unfortunately, my chin started breaking out following the facial and I reached out to them for help and they were super understanding. I just think my skin may be too sensitive at times for the oils and enzyme masks. They offered me an LED light facial where I can come in and lay under the LED to help clear some of the cystic pimples that popped up on my chin. Overall, service was super nice and the vibes are so relaxing. There are metered parking right in front but they also validate for 2 hours at the parking structure across the street. read more

Had a quick eyebrow touch-up with Emma--she's an absolute darling and did a fabulous job.

Cheeks definitely met my standards for skincare. I recently had a facial done by Jennifer. Her service was excellent and very professional. She was gentle on my skin and explained her process and each product she applied on my face. Her massage techniques were also a beneficial to my experience. I was need of extra pampering. Thank you Jennifer & Cheeks! I will be referring my friends and family!! read more

Maria gave me the best facial I've ever had. She explained every step and was so gentle and soothing that I fell asleep in the middle. I woke up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Highly recommend! read more

Jennifer is an amazing esthetician! She takes her time with each treatment and is very knowledgeable about the products she uses. Thank you, Jennifer! This was my second visit to the spa, and I've already signed up for the monthly membership--so far, it's been totally worth it! The atmosphere is super comfortable and aesthetically pleasing, and the customer service is always top-notch. Everyone is kind, welcoming, and professional. read more

I love this woman owned, independent business! Canceled my membership at heyday and got a membership here because this place does facials so much better! 1. They have options for 60 and 90 min. 2. The aestheticians are simply better. Extractions are thorough, each session is personalized, and everyone is truly kind. In one 90 min session I may get microdermabrasion and microcurrent with a bit of gua sha at the end. They'll use whatever they have available to do what's best for your skin. Everyone is knowledgeable, my faves are Jesse, Tina, and AJ but I have never had a bad facial. 3. They have dermaplaning! 4. Massage is divine and products are clean! I treated my friend from nyc to a facial here and she complains she can't find anything that matches the experience in ny. Love love cheeks and co! read more

Had a facial with Jennifer, she was very professional & friendly! During the service she was very attentive to my needs, adjusting things as necessary. The whole experience was very relaxing & my skin looks and feels great afterwards. Would 10/10 reccomend l! read more

I had the most incredible facial 4 days ago from Bella and I am still seeing the benefits! I initially went because i was taking new work pics and wanted to look more refreshed (ie less old) and Bella delivered by giving me the most gentle yet thorough treatment. I opted for the Smooth Operator and it was perfect. This was the first time I indulged in the 90 min treatment and can't ever imaging going back to 60. I was so relaxed, the vibes and aesthetics are all incredible there: smells, music, fabrics and Bella has the most gentle touch and voice... I was transported! Thank you, Bella and everyone at Cheeks & Co! read more

After reading so many positive reviews, I finally decided to book a facial with Cheeks + Co for a little self-care. I was grateful to find that there was same day availability when I booked, which was convenient. When I arrived there was a young woman working at the front desk assisting another customer. She did not greet me, which I thought was odd but attributed to her being busy. However, once the customer left she still proceeded to say nothing or even acknowledge my existence, which I thought was really bizarre and not very good customer service. My esthetician was timely and came out to get me from the lobby. I wasn't sure what I wanted, so I let her choose what to do. Unfortunately, there wasn't much about the experience that was relaxing as I had hoped for. She decided on the Smooth Operator for me, which is a microdermabrasion facial. The microdermabrasion itself was fine, but I was not prepared for the extractions that she did. She mentioned she may do a few light extractions if she noticed anything, but there was nothing light about it. She said there wasn't much to extract just some excess oil but whatever she did to remove said oil was legitimately painful. The products used on my face were just okay. The scents were a bit aggressive and I found my skin having a slight burning sensation from some of them, which was uncomfortable, but thankfully I did not show any rashes or reactions. Another aspect that was really disappointing was the music they play and how loud it is. They were loudly playing some sort of folk/ acoustic sounding music, which is fine, but not exactly what I'm looking for when I'm trying to relax. The singing was really distracting and I found myself unable to fully unwind. All together the facial itself was okay. I didn't notice any profound results or feel like the overall experience was worth it at all. I was pretty disappointed in my experience. I was hoping I would find a new regular, local spot for self-care and facials, but this is not the place for me. read more

Stop what you're doing and book an appt here! The mood is wonderful; clean, thoughtful and stylish. The staff is kind, supportive and knowledgeable. In an overwhelming market this spot simplifies, while leaving you feeling and looking your best. Anna and Elizabeth are my favs! read more

Maria is THAT girl!!! I've been coming to cheeks since I started my membership 6 months ago and the difference in my skin has been incredible. I've tried the majority of the facials here as a member and have always stuck to the "Undecided" because I've always trusted Maria to work her magic each appointment. Extractions with her are super gentle and I've never left with my skin scarred or irritated. I'm a very introverted person and she's always made me feel super comfy even though I'm not very talkative! lol This is one of those places that radiates coziness and I've never once felt pressured to buy a product, or felt guilty about the condition of my skin coming in. I've consistently have received great care from both the front desk to the estheticians. It's been a long journey to get comfortable in my skin but coming here has been one of the best investments i've done for myself. If you struggle with rosacea, acne, or breakouts I highly recommend coming here! read more

I love my new facial mist! It's called Desert Rain. It makes my skin bouncy (really!), keeps my skin hydrated and not at all greasy or sticky. It's a little mini spa experience to apply it! I had to get three bottles; one at home,one on the go and one in my office. Thank you, Susanne, for this suggestion! read more

I went there for a facial a couple of weeks ago. My facial was amazing, she was gentle and sweet. Although the rooms need a bit of an improvement because it looked a bit run down. I'm giving a one star because the manager was extremely unprofessional. I said hello and she completely ignored me. I've been to so many other places to get facials and all of the manager are kind and wanted to know how my facial went but not her. It seemed that she had an Attitude and didn't even spoke to me once. If you're a manager, I believe you need to have some people skills. She didn't at all. Once again, my facial was amazing, but I would never go back there because of the unprofessional manager that they have. Oh and forgot to mentioned, she did the same thing to my mom and my mom went there a different time than me. Manager needs to improve her attitude and people skills or they need to get a new manager!! read more

This review is for eyebrow wax only. First time here and was really interested in the facials but didn't have time to scheduled one. But I needed an eyebrow wax so scheduled that to check out the facility. For eyebrow wax I would definitely go elsewhere. It was only $35 but my brows came out uneven and my tech trimmed before waxing and I'm not sure if that made a difference but patchy. I will still try out the facials but can not recommend the eyebrow wax. Skip it! read more

Got a birthday facial today with Judy and it was my favorite facial of all time. All the products used on me were exquisite and the facial its self was so relaxing. Highly recommend! Their studio is also beautiful and comforting. 10/10 read more

My first time here and I loved every moment. From the moment you walk in the space exudes relaxation and calmness. I was serviced by Sofia who was professional and walked me through my service since I haven't had a wax since pre- pandemic and it was a great experience coming back to it again. I will be back!!! read more

My skin feels as smooth, moisturized, clean and soft as a baby's after my facial with Jennifer. Once I apply my makeup, wow ... the difference before and after the facial is so noticeable and amazing. I feel incredibly relaxed, even dozing off at one point; thanks to the amazing shoulder and neck massage and the calm, cozy atmosphere of the place. I've decided to make facials with Jennifer a regular part of my routine. read more

Bella was the best! I left glowing, and with recommendations for my skincare routine. She was so nice and it was a great first facial experience :)) read more

Really lovely experience with Judy and the Gua Sha facial. My appointment was on a Tuesday in the early afternoon, so this probably biases my experience heavily in that street parking was easy to find, it wasn't crowded, and my appointment wasn't rushed. Judy was friendly and warm, chatty when we were chatting, calming quiet during the rest of the appointment, and didn't upsell me on a ton of services or products. Just asked simply if I wanted this or that done during my appointment and I walked out with GLOWING and refreshed skin. Fantastic massage too. The aesthetics at Cheeks & Co are really lovely too. Not sparse, not "you're in a spa - NOW RELAX" - they hit a nice balance of decor and comfort. I like the clean products used (which are for sale, but not pressured upon you to purchase). Overall, really happy with my experience and will be a returning customer. Highly recommended! read more

Sadly we trusted this was a professional operation and booked an appointment for two 90 min services. It was a hot mess from start to finish. We got conflicting information in our booking confirmations and then on what was to be our service day received two calls with requests to adjust appts due to staffing issues only a couple hrs before service. If this was only trying to get service, cannot imagine service would get better. No confidence in ever trying this place again. Prices do not equal level of service either. read more

After a subpar facial a year or so ago, Tina had personally reached out to remedy the situation. I took her up on her offer and had a great gua sha facial recently. Basically, a wonderful face massage that revitalized my tired mom-ish skin and gave me a solid glow. No sticky lotion pilling on my face afterwards, no excessive extractions, no pushy buy-this and buy-that monologues, and most importantly I was very happy with how my skin looked for the next few days. Really appreciated this improved facial, and even more so the customer service! read more

Anna is amazing!! Great dermaplane facial right before my wedding. This place is always cozy vibes and I leave feeling so relaxed and taken care of. read more

Got the guasha facial with Anjanette and I was blown away! It was super relaxing and felt like an asmr experience. the guasha and the shoulder/neck massage were my favorite parts. she was thorough and explained everything to me along the way. what a gem! will definitely be back, thank you! read more

I heard about Cheeks + Co from a neighborhood friend and found them on ClassPass to check out. From the moment I walked in the spa I fell in love! The decor, staff and vibe are so relaxing and welcoming. The service itself was so professional, thorough, enjoyable, relaxing and left me wanting more. I have seen Anna twice now and her service is amazing and consistent. I loved it so much I sent my husband and he RAVED about it! Now we both go together and send each other for a relaxing, pampering treat. I couldn't recommend this spa enough! read more

I had the ideal experience here today getting my brows taken care of (and boy did they need it). The staff are so sweet and the ambiance is great! I was greeted warmly by the receptionist and the staff member who took care of my brows Elva was great. I like how she communicated exactly what she thought would look good for me and made the experience relaxing (I actually fell asleep lol!) She was gentle and you could tell she is a true artist and cares about her client's brows. Thanks Cheeks & Co team!! I will 100% return and look forward to more visits like today. Thanks for taking good care of me! ** The only concern I have is about their cancellation policy. I read online that clients who have been exposed/become Covid positive and cancel their appointment still are obligated to pay. I worry this may put their talented staff and other clients in jeopardy and ultimately does not protect them against Covid. Other than that, this is a very good place and I highly recommend checking it out read more

I wanted to check out a new place to get a facial for Mother's Day weekend and stumbled by this page on Yelp. Saw the high rated reviews and decided to give it a try. A lot of people recommended Anjanette so I booked with her. She's really sweet and the facial was "ok" but when I asked her suggestions on what brands she recommended for budget friendly products, she basically suggested I buy products in the salon. I've been to many places and they go above and beyond to give me rec's and not try to sell me only their products. Even at hair salons, they don't even try to sell me what it's in the salon and even give product rec's anywhere from Target to Sephora. Was really hoping this would be my go-to place but still on the search... read more

Very clean studio, friendly and professional customer service. Got a Brazilian wax and very happy with the results.

My first facial since January, and this has truly been one of my favorite experiences. The products used here are quality, and the experience itself from check-in all the way through departure was seamless and relaxing. Definitely recommend the facials here if you're looking to unwind and treat your skin to some TLC! read more

Beautiful location and calming atmosphere, the staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. Sophia takes her time with waxing and is amazing!

My favorite place to be, every esthetician and waxer is wonderful. I love the products, my skin has done a 180 since coming to get facials here read more
