2 weeks before my wedding - I decided that I wanted a facial, derma-planing, and sideburn sugaring. That was so silly of me, I should have done it months in advance to prep my skin but let me tell you - everything turned out perfectly, thanks to Alysha. I went in the two weeks before and she assessed my skin. She recommended products and did a mini facial to get the skin prepped so I could go in the week of my wedding so that everything would be as fresh as possible. This scared me but I trusted her. I bought and used the products right away and let me tell you, they truly did a world of wonder. At first my skin reacted and brought on blemishes here and there as I've never really had a true skin care routine and then because of all my anxiety and stress from wedding planning - I developed eczema on my face. I was honestly so sad and dreading my wedding day because I knew my makeup would look patchy except the week of my wedding - I had seen Alysha again and she gave me tips and tricks to help the eczema and guess what? On my wedding day, my face was completely cleared and smooth! There wasn't a blemish in sight and my eczema had cleared completely up. I wish I could say I was kidding but I was truly shook. She's like a skincare magician. I'm blown away by her knowledge and her eagerness to help. She's also one of the sweetest gals I've ever met and I felt beyond relaxed during my facial. I can't wait to continue going to her and nurturing my skin. read more

I would 100% recommend you check out this spot for a facial in Costa Mesa/Newport. I came here for dermaplaning service as my usual facial girl didn't offer that service. I wanted my face to be smooth like a baby's butt because I was getting professional makeup done soon after. It was just as expected, super smooth and literally fresh faced! Last minute, I asked if we could add a red light therapy and she was able to accomodate. I got a text after my appointment letting me know she forgot to provide my first time patient discount (which I didn't even know existed). I greatly appreciate her reaching out to refund me that. I feel that she goes above and beyond customer service-wise. Located inside the Phenix Salon Suites and parking is easy. read more

I had the Perfect Derma Peel done two weeks before my wedding with Alysha and it transformed skin! I really peeled, but it was so worth it. I knew what to expect and she was very informative and supportive throughout. I then had a hydrating facial with Alysha 2 days before the wedding and my makeup went on FLAWLESSLY. My skin was glowing! I definitely recommend seeing Alysha! read more

See all

Absolutely love going to Alysha! Been going for sugaring since Feb 2018 and will go wherever she goes. The first time going, I was very nervous but she is amazing and made me feel very comfortable not awkward at all and is always the sweetest, will explain everything! Very comfortable, neat, super clean and relaxing! I highly recommend Alysha! read more

Been going to Alysha for years!! I recently just got married and regular facials were a non negotiable for me in my wedding prep process. Alysha was able to give me the glowy, dewy, clear wedding skin of my dreams. We tackled my skin concerns about 6 months prior to my wedding and continued to follow a routine leading up to the big day. As any bride, I was extremely stressed and really worried my skin would show for it. However, with the routine facials, not only did I have perfect skin on my big day, I barely wore any make on my honey moon as well. Highly recommend seeing her for facials! read more

I have been getting Brazilian sugars with Alysha for 9 years. She's amazing at what she does. Shes super nice and makes you feel comfortable everytime. She's also very knowledgeable in all the services she's does here at fresh faces. You won't regret coming with her. read more

Love Alysha and all the beauty services that she offers! We've been going to her for sugar waxing for many years and the quality of her products and skills is unparalleled. Her studio is always clean and relaxing and she is always so warm and welcoming. We feel so blessed --especially with something so intimate and personal. Highly recommend!! A+++++!!! read more

I've been going to Alysha for the last 7 years. Although I only see her 1-2 times a year I can always count on her to replenish and refresh my skin when the time comes. What I like so much about Alysha is she is never pushy or asking you to book again after a service. She has a consistent clientele because she's great at what she does and stays up to date on the best brands and products. She's a joy to work with and provides a very relaxing and positive environment. Her studio suite is always clean and calming. I appreciate that she sends her clients off with little samples of newer products she's been using to get feedback and conduct research. I highly recommend booking your next facial or skin service with her. read more

Alysha with Fresh Faces is absolutley amazing! I first went to her for a relaxing facial and now she is my go-to for all my skincare needs. She listens to my concerns and tailors the treatment accordingly, always giving me excellent results. I completely trust her expertise, as my skin has never looked better! The studio is a clean, beautiful, relaxing space and her products are top quality. I prefer a facial from Alysha to any fancy spa, they are truly luxurious. Ive been going to Fresh Faces for a few years now and have no intention of going anywhere else. read more

I LOVE facials and there's nobody I trust with my face then Alysha. Been going to her since October 2020, and I literally will follow her wherever she goes. Alysha goes above and beyond knowing your skin and treating it, which is the best thing about customized facials. Sometimes Alysha will do dermaplaning, other times she's done microderm, and she'll also incorporate other things as needed for your skin. I love that she always explains what she's doing and for what purpose. I appreciate those small gestures. Extractions are painless and done well. I've been to others that only extract a little or it's so painful it makes me cry. I go monthly, and its nice because Alysha will use organic, pregnancy friendly products on my skin only. My husband always tells me I'm glowing after my facials (and he doesn't know when I go). My skin is in its best shape from Alysha's facials. Ladies, do not skimp out on skin care! I highly recommend Alysha, she's seriously the best. read more

Alysha was my first introduction into sugaring, and my first ever general waxing experience too, and she made me feel so at ease and comfortable. I come back periodically, every couple months and she never disappoints, especially if you're worried about waxing sensitive areas/regions. Even my friends know who I'm talking about when I say I'm going for my waxing appointment, that's how much I love it here. read more

I was in town from Arizona and wanted to try the Perfect Derma Peel as I had heard good things about this peel. Alysha was amazing! Her studio was so clean and the atmosphere was relaxing. Her calm and sweet manner made the peel even more comfortable than usual. I have had many chemical peels in the past, and this was the most comfortable, painless, and EFFECTIVE of any I have ever had. During the application, there was a numbing effect which made the peel so much more comfortable. The aftercare and notes Alysha gave me were perfect. I started peeling exactly as she predicted, and there was really only 2 days when it was too severe to be seen in public. I can't believe how my skin improved day by day during the peeling process, and I had finished peeling by day 7. I had previously done a Cosmelan peel, which was pure torture and the results didn't last. This is so much cheaper, and the results were so much more immediate. I'm sure that if I continued with this peel every couple months my skin would look 20 years younger (and it already took 5 years off my skin with the one application). Also, Alysha was great at recommending dermaplaning before the peel so that my skin would be perfectly prepped for the procedure. I had never had that done before, and that alone was great! My skin was bright, glowy, and smooth. I will definitely continue those too. If you haven't seen Alysha yet, you must see her! I wish I lived closer or I would see her every month. She has a steady and loyal client base for a reason. read more

Best facial I have ever had. I am here right now to set up a monthly appointment because this is a gift to myself. So relaxing, so thorough and I'm very happy. Thank you Alysha! read more

Alysha explained what she was doing as she was completing my customized facial! Recommended types of products that would work best for my skin! Definitely will be back read more

I found Alysha through a Groupon offer and I'm so happy that I did! I was on the search for a new aesthetician and popped in here for an all-natural facial. It was thorough, professional, and my skin already feels a lot happier after only 40 minutes. It was super easy to schedule an appointment through the website; I will definitely be back in January! Fresh Faces is located inside of Phenix Salon Suites just off Harbor in Costa Mesa. Ample parking. read more

Alysha is the sweetest! Based on yelp reviews I trusted her to get me wedding ready the week of, with a hydration facial and my first dermaplaning. She was super welcoming, friendly, and very informative. The whole experience was super relaxing and she did all the appropriate extractions needed with not much pain at all. For both services it took about an hour. Her studio is very clean and relaxing with serenity music playing. Would highly recommend and would come back for more facials ! read more

Located in the Porcelain luxury salon suites. When you enter, go all the way down and make a left. Found Fresh Faces through Groupon for sugaring services and I'm glad I did! One of my quicker and least painful experience to date. Alysha has great technique and was awesome to talk to to keep me distracted. She also offer other services including facials. However, if you're looking for somewhere to go for your hair removal needs, I highly recommend going to Alysha! read more

I was really nervous to try dermaplaning for the first time but Alysha was super informative in my millions of questions that I asked. She truly took the time to explain every step and even show me exactly what she was doing to my skin throughout the process. We were able to get an early start and she gave me the true hour that I paid for. The best part about the facial was that I didn't look crazy after the extraction process and I was able to go to work! It was very relaxing and I loved the massage that came with the facial! I cannot waaaait for my next facial! Alysha was super sweet and extremely hardworking and I hope everybody supports her business! She truly deserves it. read more

It's time to review after having my fourth facial here. I've tried facials at several different places to see which one is best and have decided Fresh Faces will be my forever place for facials! I get the anti-aging facial and the next mornings, my skin is glowing and looks so refreshed! Alys sha is nice and she is gentle with her hands. Even the way she methodically wipes off each application adds to the quality of her facials. Cute and clean space. Always smells good and good music to relax to. Alysha didn't sell me on products, but after seeing the difference her facials do for my skin, I plan on asking her to sell me products! read more

Been going to Alysha for my sugaring needs for a couple of years and started taking my daughter to remove her arm pit hair ...it lasts for a couple months which is great. I've been referring her little friends and moms. Alysha is very sweet and talented. read more

Getting sugared? Alicia for the win! So professional and a super sweet personality. Not at all awkward. Very reasonably priced!!

I had her do some waxing for my wedding for my nose hairs. I also had a facial done as well. She is very knowledgeable and came highly recommended. Would definitely recommend her to others. read more

I have been going to Alysha for over a year now and my skin has never looked better! Alysha is professional and super kind! Most importantly, she is always keeping herself up to date on the best treatments for her clients! I confidently do not wear make up anymore and am just so grateful I found fresh faces! My favorite treatments are the microdermabrasion and the hydration mask with dermaplaning! Overall Alysha is a very gifted at what she does and I highly recommend her services! read more

I experienced sugaring for m first time and Fresh Faces was an amazing one. Alysha explained everything that was going on and provided a good explanation of what to expect. I had my eyebrows, lip, chin, and underarms done ... I now prefer sugar to wax, but there was still some uncomfortable experiences - mainly my underarms because it was the first time doing anything but shaving them. The appointment was extraordinary and I spent the next few hours with minor pain under my arms ... I went to put Aloe Vera on them, bad idea . I ended up using warm cloths to soothe my skin and by morning was good as new. Will definitely do this again ... Let's see if I can make the necessary wait time (4 weeks). Check it out ... She sometimes has specials on her website which worked out to be better than the Groupon deal. read more

I came here for the first time recently for a NATURAL FACIAL for 40mins. I used a GROUPON and she gladly honored it. I love the way Alysha did my facial with no harsh chemicals for my ultra sensitive skin. I had blackheads, whiteheads and minor acne breakout that she meticulously worked on. My skin felt great, I didn't even want to put make up on the next day. I had a quick mini facial before at other spas where the esthetician wore gloves. Alysha also wore gloves. I wonder if that's a new protocol for estheticians. Sanitation? Just something I am not used to. Only thing I would suggest is little bit more tension on the massage. Her massage was good but very light. She recommended products that is in my price range and cannot wait to try them! Her choice of music is relaxing. During my facial, she had instrumental music of latest hit music. Her set up of her business inside Phenix Salon Suites in Costa Mesa was well built, love the decor, relaxing bed, and the aroma inside is satisfying. She also has mini water bottles for her clients, which is nice because staying hydrated is highly beneficial to the skin. read more

Today I has the pleasure of going to Fresh Faces in Costa Mesa for a long-awaited facial from Alysha. After lacking in the self-care department for the past few months, my face really needed some love. Alysha was very comforting, professional, kind and made me feel immediately at ease. The best part was that I tried micro-planing for the first time today. WOW... I can't believe the difference! My skin was immediately brighter, smoother and very soft and translucent. I highly recommend Fresh Faces for a stellar facial experience! Five Stars All The Way! read more

I love getting my facials here alysha is the best, before I started doing lasering I would get sugared here and once I stopped I started doing my facials here .. prices are sooo reasonable and the experience is super nice and relaxing she has the air diffuser running and a great relaxing atmosphere .. very professional I def recommend this place for lash lifts, waxing, and facials and super clean read more

I went to see Alysha first on a Groupon. Her studio is cute and very clean. I got a Brazilian sugaring and she did a great job. For my second appointment I texted her (as instructed for making appointments) on a Thursday. I didn't hear back from her until Sunday and had, in the meantime gotten a wax at a different studio. She apologized and so I did schedule my following appointment with her. She did a decent job again, but left bruising. On this visit she let me know she had a new scheduling system on her site and I shouldn't have any more issues. I scheduled my third visit through the site, got confirmation and even got a reminder. My appointment was at 5:30. When I arrived to it 5 minutes early I waited in the hallway as the Do Not Disturb sign was up on her studio door. I planned to be done by 5:45, which is about the amount of time it took on my 2 previous visits as well as having seen that the next available appointment time was 5:45. During my wait I texted the phone number I'd previously used for her as well as texting the number I received the reminder from. I know she was in session and may not be able to answer but hoped for some update or an indication that we needed to reschedule. By 5:45 the door was still closed and I'd heard nothing. I sent an email via the contact form on her website and left. Never heard back the evening of my appointment. Overall, the studio is cute and clean. Alysha does a decent job for the Groupon pricing she charged. Terribly unorganized otherwise and needless to say I'll have to find yet another studio. read more

Found and used Alysha through a Groupon and she was amazing!!! Professional and sweet as can be....I enjoyed my cleansing facial very much. She was gentle and her products were fresh, clean and smelt amazing. Her business is located in the Phenix Suites of Harbor Blvd & 19th street. I found out she does sugaring too....gonna book her for that service next. :) read more

Let me start by saying that I am extremely critical of anyone that provides skincare. Alysha was an absolute professional and very good at what she does. Anyone who has had a facial knows that often times you go in, tell them what you want and the esthetician goes to work. While that sounds reasonable, the key thing they are missing is the communication. Alysha was very good at asking me questions and finding out important information about me before she started anything. She also was very good at explaining the procedure, the benefits, and why she recommends a particular procedure. At no time did I feel I was being upsold on anything. Her demeanor is very inviting and makes you feel extremely comfortable. Aside from her professionalism and great communication, she also is a very good practitioner. I've had many facials and she was right up there with the big name spas. I can't say enough about how comfortable I was with her and I encourage anyone to step outside the big name spas and give Alysha a chance to demonstrate her abilities. read more

I was referred by a friend because of random breakouts the treatment helped and I saw a considerable difference in my skin. thank You. read more

This review is a bit overdue. But I knew I needed to get it in, later rather than never :) I had my first session with Alysha about 1 week and a half ago. I found her on a groupon special that I was able to use during my spring break upon returning to Cali. Booking was so easy on her website. So glad it worked out, she was amazing! Overall Alysha was super considerate throughout the entire experience-from scheduling to the actual day of appointment. I loved her attention to detail and professionalism. She had great communication, texting me to confirm and the possibility of rescheduling my apt a little later, which I was more than happy to accommodate. The day of my apt I was running a little late due to another appointment running over. I text Alysha and explained my situation. She was able to squeeze me in and was very understanding. The session itself was as good as a Brazilian sugaring gets. They're always going to be painful ;) yet she took her time making sure I was comfortable and tolerating it well. I hope to be back upon returning to California! read more

Absolutely loved my facial with Alysha today! I felt super relaxed inside her suite. Alysha probably delivered one of the best facials I've gotten to date. She is very thorough and honest which I highly appreciated. I also appreciated the fact that she did not pressure me on buying any (products/services). I will definitely be going back. read more

Found Alysha on Groupon... Glad I did! She has been a gem. I have had facials from other places before, including laser treatments from Skin Laundry. However, I must say that I haven't seen such a difference in complexion with the other treatments as I have with Fresh Faces. First off the place is inside the Phoenix Salon which was a bit confusing at first. But she clarified the location through text message, which is very personable. The room she does her treatments in is nice and cozy, Alysha puts on very relaxing music and dims the light which calms you before the facial. All the products she uses are top notch and her methods show that she really cares. Alysha always walks me through each process. She talks about the benefits and what to expect, every step of the way. I feel like every time I go the whole experience is complete and I honestly leave feeling like I have a fresh face. :D To top it all off her pricing is extremely reasonable for the five-star treatment she gives. I mean she even throws in a little neck massage! read more

Monthly extractions and microdermabrasion with Alysha, a solid skincare routine, lots of patience = amazing results! I don't wear full coverage foundation anymore because I have never been this confident about my skin! read more

Fresh Faces - November 2017 - June 2018 - Skin Care Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

This review is long overdue. I saw Alysha regularly for monthly facials until I moved away. I haven't had a better facial for the price she offers. She is very detail oriented and would tailor the facial to what your skin needs. She took the time to take care of my skin even if that meant our sessions went overtime. The atmosphere is also really nice and relaxing. She's set such a high standard that it took me a while to find someone like her in my new area. She also won't try to sell you products like some aestheticians do, which is great. Thank you so much Alysha! I wish I could still see you regularly. read more

I have been going to Alysha for the past 7months and am so impressed with the results. I get compliments about my skin regularly, and have recommended her to several friends who also see her regularly. I highly recommend her!!! read more

Oh my goodness, I went here yesterday and tried the sugaring hair removal for the first time on my face, and I was blown away! It is so apparent that Alysha is so skilled at what she does. She was so particular and detailed just as a artist would be on a painting, and the results were amazing. I was in and out within 15 minutes and my face has never felt smoother or looked better. Everyone was clean, serene, and extremely comfy and relaxing. Thank you so much, Alysha! I will see you in 4 weeks. :) If anyone is wanting to try this or looking for a great place in this area, I can assure you, try it out -- you will not be sorry! read more

One of the best lady I've been going to for my facial session. What I like about her the most is that she doesn't push you to buy the products.. I love it about her. I have to tell you guys, I've going to like almost all the facial places in OC and did a lot of research, other places failed big time. All they want is your money. This place, she explains to me about every procedures and do not push me to come back every month. And she's switching to the new place soon. I love love it. read more

I found Alycia through Groupon. I called to make an appointment and she returned my call within 5 minutes. I booked a pumpkin peel with her and my experience was beyond what I had anticipated. Alycia has a super cute studio space and was very friendly and professional. I went in expecting a quick facial/ peel and she did much more than that. I am currently struggling with a breakout and she performed extractions for at least 10 minutes. My skin is now glowing and my inflammation has gone down significantly!! Alycia is a very talented esthetician with a special touch. I HIGHLY recommend booking with her. read more
