I always see…read moreAlicia and she does an incredible job and really takes the time to assess my needs, my problem areas, and help focus on those and give excellent recommendations to alleviate some consistent pain. She has many years of experience and you can tell in the way she does the massage. I came in one time with a stiff neck that I couldn't move. I slept on it really wrong and was in an incredible amount of pain. She helped treat me and provided me so much relief. She is very accommodating and attentive to my needs and I always leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. They offer a discount on Mondays for locals and also a monthly subscription plan. Getting consistent massages is key and I highly recommend seeing Alicia. Parking can be tricky on a busy day and the spa is downstairs from International Cafe. The spa is small but cozy and clean. They also have a red light sauna which was amazing.

If you have acne, I highly recommend seeing Lauren! She is a miracle worker!…read more I just recently moved up to Monterey county from Orange County. With the stresses of a new location, work and school, my skin broke out worse than ever before. I have always had acne, but I hadn't broken out like this since I was 13. My boss recommended that I see Lauren and I am so glad I did! I first saw her for a light peel, then yesterday I went back for a full 2 hour facial. She started with steaming, cleansing and a mask and it was very relaxing. Then we moved on to the deep pore cleansing. Extractions are never fun, but she was as gentle as could be. Plus I've always heard that "beauty is pain". Lauren was very helpful and informative about the products she was using on my face. It's always fun to learn something new! She also gave me 2 samples products that she recommended I start using. Today (day after my facial) I woke up and my skin looks flawless! I can't even remember the last time my skin has looked this clear! I'm looking forward to going back to Lauren soon!

She literally gave me a face lift in about an hour. I thought it was even better than Botox. Another thing I REALLY enjoyed is that she started to massage my hands. By that point I was so relaxed, I didn't want to leave. I call her, "The quiet alternative". TELL YOU FRIENDS they will love you for the heads up about the wonderful place.

After my first initial consultation, she started me on her skin care products, as well as encouraged me to make minor changes to my diet & daily life.

I just finished my fourth facial with her today and can honestly say this is the best skincare advice & treatment I have ever received. There is no greater feeling in the world than waking up with a clear complexion each morning! Thank YOU, Dynese! 11/10 recommend The Skin Liaision!!!!

I told the front desk girls that I did not feel I got adequate treatment with the first provider( who, by the way, was mysteriously not working there anymore). I expected an explanation, may be some compensation for the first three treatments that I knew now were useless. My comment/complaint got no response. I was told the owner would call me, she did not. I feel the whole process was unprofessional and frankly a waste of my time and money.

Not only did Jessica correct the mess of the lash extensions I had previously, but she gave me the most flawless, set that compliments my eye shape!

The difference in comfort, appearance, and retention compared to the lash set I had from a previous artist is night and day. If you've ever had a bad lash experience, or just want to level up your lash game, this is the person to go to. This is the only place I'll trust with my lashes from now on!
