I was gifted a certificate for a service to Girl on the Go for my birthday. I finally decided to…read moremake an appointment, and I am SO glad that I did! I am always a bit nervous when getting a facial service, but when I walked into this adorable space, I felt reassured. You are greeted with that wonderful spa scent that calms your spirit, along with lovely snack treats and spa water. I waited a very short time before I was brought into the service room. In the room you are provided with additional special items that make your visit unique ( I won't spoil it). My facial was with Dana and she explained everything to me before, during and after the service and is super skillful, knowledgeable and kind. My skin looked so good when she was done! I can't wait to go back. I highly recommend Girl on Go, you will not be disappointed!

I leave every appointment with my skin feeling calmer, healthier, and so well cared for. Beyond being amazing at what she does, Jessica somehow turns every appointment into a complete sanctuary. It's genuinely one of the most relaxing parts of my month. And her neck and head massage is UNREAL -- truly worth the appointment alone. She's thoughtful, knowledgeable, and so talented, and you can tell how much care she puts into every detail. I completely trust her with my skin, which says a lot when you're dealing with acne and rosacea. I always leave with glowing skin and feeling completely relaxed. Cannot recommend Jessica enough!

My wife and I celebrated our 15th anniversary with a couples massage at the Pendry Spa -- our first…read morespa experience at a property we've stayed at and loved before. The staff is where this place shines. Every single person we interacted with was kind, genuine, and attentive in a way that felt personal rather than scripted. The relaxation room set a great tone with complimentary tea and a lovely granola offering. Our therapists paid close attention to our needs throughout the 60 minutes, and the massage itself was exactly what an anniversary afternoon should be. To top it off, they surprised us with glasses of prosecco as we said our goodbyes. My only critique here was the locker room. Compared to other luxury spa experiences, the locker area felt noticeably small including the lockers themselves. The amenity offerings were quite basic -- shampoo, conditioner, body wash, a nail kit, and spray deodorant. Missing were the details that elevate a spa stay: shave kits, body lotion, face/hair products and toothbrush/toothpaste. For a property at this level, these extras matter. Overall, a wonderful anniversary experience and a solid 3.5/4 out of 5 from us. With a few upgrades this could easily be one of San Diego's best spa destinations.

I had an amazing first experience with Sarah, the physician who saved me from my stubborn acne with a quick steroid injection. Honestly, it was so fast and painless I'm mad at mysef for not doing it sooner. Then there's Sam, the patient concierge. A geniunely sweet guy- super talkative, social, and instantly inviting. We bonded over K-pop (thanks to my K-pop themed hat!) and truly might go back just to chat wth him alone. LOL But hey..they also do tons of skincare services...so I definitely have to go back! Pros: * Friendly, knowledgeable staff who explain everything clearly * Quick and easy acne steroid injection (10/10 would let Sarah poke me again) * Sam - so pleasant and such a sunshine (Bonus points for being a K-pop lover) * Cute, inviting studio vibes * Plenty of parking (a rare luxury) * Fair pricing and no pressure to buy any products * Wide menu of skin services (I'll definitely have to make a consultation) Cons: * What cons? Other than it might be a future addiction! Overall: Highly recommend Radiance Wellness for a genuinely delightful spa/med experience. Great first impression!

I was really disappointed with my first experience at Radiance Wellness, especially because I was…read moregenuinely looking forward to learning more about lip filler. I booked a "New Patient - Filler" appointment through their online booking system, which showed $0 at booking. The description mentioned a comprehensive facial assessment and customized treatment plan but did not disclose a consultation fee. I was also asked to provide a credit card, and my confirmation email referenced a $100 cancellation credit for appointment changes made within 48 hours. When I arrived, I specifically asked the front desk whether my appointment was a consultation. The employee explained that I hadn't selected the consultation-only option but said he would update it. However, he never mentioned that this change would result in a $100 fee. The PA-C I met with was genuinely kind, knowledgeable, and informative, and I appreciated her taking the time to answer my questions. I was primarily interested in subtle lip filler and getting a quote, so I was a little surprised when chin filler was also recommended. While I understand that providers may suggest treatments based on facial balance, I wasn't looking to explore additional procedures and felt somewhat upsold. They also took photos for reference in case I decided to return, which I appreciated. It wasn't until after my consultation that I was informed of the $100 fee, which could be applied toward future services. To make matters worse, I was mistakenly charged $200 instead of $100. When I returned to the front desk, the staff apologized and explained that an employee had made an error. I was told the $200 would be refunded and that I would be charged the correct $100 separately, leaving me with $300 in charges on my card while awaiting the refund. Afterward, I reviewed their booking system and noticed a separate "Medical Aesthetics Consultation Without Treatment" option that explicitly disclosed the $100 fee. I recognize that I initially selected the filler appointment rather than the consultation-only option. However, I specifically clarified this at check-in, and the additional charge was never communicated before my consultation began. My frustration isn't about paying for a consultation. I understand that medical professionals deserve to be compensated for their time. It's about transparency and communication, especially when I made an effort to clarify my appointment beforehand. It's unfortunate because I genuinely appreciated the PA-C and had a positive experience speaking with her. However, the unexpected fee and billing error overshadowed what could have been a great first visit. I hope Radiance Wellness improves its communication around appointment types and consultation fees so future patients know exactly what to expect.

I am updating my review after my more recent experience, as my last review was two-and-a-half…read moreyears ago. My first experience, in 2016, had been excellent, and unfortunately, it just never was as good as the first time. The building is adorable. It is an old house that is quite beautiful in Banker's Hill with easy street parking. This time I walked in and was readily greeted. The people there are very nice and welcoming, especially the woman working the register that day. I was given some information to fill out and offered tea or water before my facial appointment. I was getting ready for a big event in my life, and therefore, wanted to pay some attention to skincare. My facial session was very comfortable and relaxing. My primary complaint (the same I had last time) was that at least half of the session was actually a head, shoulder, and arm massage. Yes, that was very nice, but I felt that very little of the session was directed to skincare. After all, I had booked a facial, not a massage. Also, they did some extractions, but when so little time (under two minutes) was devoted to extractions, I didn't understand the reason for doing it at all. I think my biggest issue was that I had some lotions that she was rubbing into my face before doing the scalp massage, and then she proceeded to rub so much greasy lotion into my hair. Unfortuantely, I had to go home and wash my hair instead of doing the errands I had intended to complete after my appointment. I really like the location and the relaxed feeling of this spa, but I just didn't end up very pleased with my service.

5Glorious Stars for Eliza, 0 Regretful Stars for Jen -- An Emotional Rollercoaster of Pores and…read morePressure Let me take you on a journey. A journey that begins with radiant joy and ends with me side-eyeing my own butt in a full-length mirror, wondering what just happened. I booked the 80-minute facial with diamond exfoliation and let me tell you -- this was no ordinary facial. This was the facial of the gods. Eliza is not just an esthetician, she is a skincare sorceress, a glow guru, a pore whisperer. I walked in looking like I hadn't slept since 2012 and walked out shining brighter than my ex's bald spot under club lighting. My face felt smoother than a baby dolphin doing Pilates. Decadent is an understatement. I felt RICH. I felt RENEWED. Eliza, you are an angel sent from the skincare heavens and I am sending my besties to you ASAP. Now... onto the tragic subplot of this tale: the massage. I got a 50-minute deep tissue massage from Jen, which turned out to be 50 minutes of confusion, irritation, and emotional upselling. Deep tissue? More like deep disappointment. I asked her to focus on my shoulders, but she seemed determined to explore every other region of my body except the one I mentioned. And then came the upsells. Oh Lord, the upsells. Jen tried to sell me on everything short of a full-blown spiritual cleanse. The highlight -- or lowlight? -- was when she suggested Lipo Cupping because she noticed some cellulite on my buttocks and legs. Ma'am. I came here to relax, not to be emotionally assaulted by the ghost of bikini seasons past. I didn't ask for this kind of honesty. I wanted essential oils and vague affirmations -- not cellulite diagnostics. In summary: Facial with Eliza: 11/10. Worth selling a kidney for. Massage with Jen: No stars. I left with tight shoulders and a bruised ego. Would I return? Yes, but only if Eliza promises to spiritually cleanse me with her magical diamond wand and pretend she sees nothing but smooth, untroubled skin on every inch of my body. You win some, you lose some -- but at least my face is thriving.

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!
