I received a facial from Lorraine a little over a month ago and my skin is still looking amazing! She is so knowledgeable and took a holistic approach to treating my skin. My acne has completely cleared up due to her facial and her daily skin care recommendations. Not only did she help with my skin, but provided such a relaxing, calm environment while doing so. Could not recommend her enough!! read more

Amazing she is so sweet and kind very gentle! Did an amazing job on my skin and I am Picky. She also has a very nice shop inside I loved it all with som amazing earrings by honeyandclay earrings I can't wait for my next appointment!!! Thank you so much I highly recommend her! She is a blessing read more

I can't even put into words how happy I am to have found such an amazing person to help me with my skin & confidence. I started going to Lorainne a little over a year ago. Every time I leave her, my skin is absolutely glowing a few days later! Her energy is unmatched and the service she provides is very genuine and organic. I am grateful to have met someone who cares so much about their clients! As they say- when you know, you know! read more

I seriously cannot say enough good things about Just Skin, I've been coming here for almost a year now for waxing, makeup, and eyelashes and have never had less than a perfect experience across the board! I'd give a million stars if I could. WAXING: Lorraine is absolutely fantastic, and has a crazy eye for detail. I remember the first time I went to her she noticed the little lopsidedness in my eyebrows that no one (but me) has ever noticed before- and she fixed it! and my brows look fantastic! And believe me when I say I am a tough critic when it comes to my brows- I'm Italian and Greek and naturally my brows are like caterpillars on steroids. I've left many an eyebrow appointment (in the past) frustrated and disappointed, but it's never been the case with Lorraine- she's spot-on every single time! MAKEUP: Lorraine also did my makeup for my wedding. She did a trial for the engagement shoot, and the day of my wedding she and Jodi made up my seven bridesmaids plus myself. She and Jodi were right on time and finished pretty much right when we wanted to be. They were super fun to have around, were chatting it up with all of my girls, and even taught a few tips and tricks about makeup and brows with some of them along the way! Everyone looked gorgeous and all of my girls loved their makeup. The ones that wanted natural got natural, and the ones that were comfortable with a bit more makeup got that too. One of my bridesmaids even had a grapefruit-sized dark bruise on her shin and Jodi covered it up with makeup to the point where it was barely even visible! EYELASH EXTENSIONS: Isabel does such a fantastic job with eyelash extensions! I am constantly getting compliments on my eyelashes about how full and natural they look. Isabel also makes me process painless. I get kind of claustrophobic with my eyes closed for so long but the most recent time I went in I told her I wanted to try to fall asleep so she put on calming music, rubbed some lavender oil on my temples, and gave me a comforting little shoulder rub and I was good to go! For the quality of the job she does you can NOT find a better price on lash extensions. OH! And Isabel is super accommodating when scheduling appointments, especially when she did my lashes the week of my wedding she came in at an obscenely early time because it was all that worked for me. read more

After a few months of searching for a reputable and afforable salon for eyelash extensions, I came across Just Skin on Yelp. I was impressed by the 5-star reviews and all of the great experiences that everyone else had shared. I was able to get an appointment with Isabel very quickly. Let me just say that Isabel is wonderful and incredibly talented at eyelash extensions! She told me that she has been doing extensions for eleven years, and it shows! She made me feel comfortable, and she answered all of my questions. My lashes look AMAZING. I went with a more natural eyelash, as opposed to a bold, dramatic lash. Although they have more of a natural look, they are very noticeable and I've received many compliments already. One of the best parts is being able to wear minimal makeup and still look fresh-faced. Long eyelashes make such a huge difference!! I would HIGHLY recommend Isabel to anyone who wants beautiful, quality eyelash extentions. I will definitely be seeing her again in four weeks for my fill-in. Thank you, Isabel!! read more

I moved to SD during Covid and was looking for a new salon for my eyebrows. I found Haven tucked between a grocery and laundromat on the first try! Lorraine was very professional and welcoming and asked how I like my brows. She gave me a tutorial to fill them in and also consulted about skin care and future services I am interested in. I'll be back! read more

Lorraine gives the best facial ever! She takes the time to know my skin needs and caters each facial to how my skin is that day, and now I am! If I need extra massage to relax or extra exfoliation, she knows! I am always so relaxed and taken care of at haven! Lorraine also does the most beautiful makeup and made me look amazing for my 40th! Highly recommend this spa for all your facial and massage needs! read more

Omicron apparently also causes neck and back pain and I unfortunately was infected by my son's school. My back hurt so badly that I couldn't even lay on my stomach. After Covid I had residual back pain and booked a massage with Rebecca. Absolutely the best massage I've ever had and she worked every thing out and saved me a trip to urgent care. I will definitely return. read more

I went in with Lorraine for the Full Microdermabrasion Hydroxy Cellular Combo Facial (1 hour 30 minutes). It was truly amazing!! You can feel her expertise and love for what she does with every touch. Her flow and energy harmonize with the relaxing music she has on. She follows strict guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID and makes sure her clients feel comfortable and stay healthy. You will leave Haven Collective feeling relaxed with glowing skin! read more

I have had terrible skin for the past few years and have been to a dermatologist, have had monthly facials and used only the best products; despite this, nothing seemed to work. For the past 10 months or so, I have been seeing Jodi at Just Skin for a glycolic peel and microdermabrasion on the reg. My face has cleared up beyond belief, and not only that but my skin actually glows thanks to her skills! The best part about Just Skin is the prices- they are so beyond reasonable!!! Just Skin just recently moved to a cute new location in South Park & despite it being even further away from me (30 miles each direction), I cannot imagine looking for another esthetician. Jodi is amazingly sweet and provides the ultimate sense of relaxation while working on your skin. 5 stars is not enough to describe Jodi and the entire Just Skin spa! read more

I am getting married within a month, and I had to take an engagement photo shoot, so I was looking for someone I can trust the service . My skin looked like crap (acne, thick skin, no glow, yucky!!), and I found Lorraine at Yelp. I love this place and I love Lorraine's service. She is the only and first one who made my skin look so good. I mean... I never ever liked my skin, but now I do! Let me tell you about my experience. I have done so many facials all over san diego. I have done micro/peel at least 5 times in my life at 5 different places. And none of them have done as good as Lorraine's service. They weren't bad, but there was no result there. I love Lorraine because I can see the result. My skin is thick and it looked dull and tired. There was no glow, but Lorraine made my skin look healthy and glow again! Not only she gives you Peel/Microdermabrasion 5 star service for really reasonable price, but also she gives you foot and hand massage while my skin is observing peel or whatever she puts on my skin. It feels so good and I just fall asleep right away :) Also when she gives me a massage on my face, it feels so good as well. She gives you right pressure. She is awesome. Last but not least, she is not one of those pushy sellers. Yes she carries some products, but she told me that products she had might not be the best for me, (because my skin is kinda oily) so she told me to go to a Sephora and buy certain products. Who would do that? She really cares about my skin. I bought 6-facial package from her and I can't wait to go back! read more

No longer a facial virgin!! I finally decided I was in need of some pampering, so I booked an appointment online. I have never had a facial, so I opted for the European + microdermabrasion. Katrina did wonders for my skin!! Since this was my first time, she was very helpful and kept me informed throughout the procedure. She is very knowledgeable and gave me several tips and recommendations based on my skin type and texture. This experience was awesome!! I didn't have many expectations, considering I had never had a facial before, but I am VERY pleased and happy. My skin looks great and feels so clean. Seriously, my skin has NEVER felt this good. I'm hooked and will definitely be going back to see Katrina. I am so impressed with the service and care, you bet I will be trying Just Skin's other services as well. read more

I went to Just Skin the week before my wedding to get a facial, back "facial", and to get my eyebrows waxed. It had been a while since I'd had any type of facial or had my eyebrows done so I was a little nervous. From the very beginning Lorraine was fabulous (including her communication prior to my appointment) and made me feel very comfortable. She was able to incorporate all 3 of my needs into one appointment and I swear I almost fell asleep because I was so relaxed. Lorraine is very gifted and the next time I need any of the services she offers I'll definitely be calling on her. Thanks Lorraine! read more

Lorraine is the answer to your skin prayers. I've had disaster skin my entire life passed through the genes and I've learned to just "live with it" until I met Lorraine. She's the nicest, gentlest, and most self-assuring person you would want to help fix skin that resembles the next great mountain range on your face. She doesn't make you feel like a science project or criticize what you have tried in the past. I have gone in for facials with her and after my first one she gave me a list of what I need to help repair my skin life and sent me on my merry way. She's amazing. Reasonably priced and she's great conversation in the midst of your treatments. She doesn't choose products that cost an arm and a leg or anything that is impossible to find at a regular store. I've noticed tremendous differences in my skin since coming to her and I owe it all to her. Three cheers for Lorraine! Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray! read more

Lorraine is the prime example of holistic health and healing. Just Skin the key element for your dermic rejuvenation and revitalization. -Taejung read more

I've been a loyal customer with Lorraine since the first day I went in. Instantly you can just tell she is a professional and a perfectionist. This means that I get excellent service and quality work done every time, she never disappoints! Lorraine does all my waxing, and compared to previous experiences, waxing with Lorraine is about as painless as it gets. I also get regular facials with her every 6 weeks. I have a skin type that breaks out all the time. (even though I'm not going through puberty anymore!) I finally decided to have Lorraine take care of my skin on a regular basis. The result is the clearest skin I've had my whole life! I love that I have smooth skin now, and without the use of crazy prescription acne medications. It makes such a huge difference having clear skin and it gives me more confidence. I can't help but give Lorraine the highest review because she impresses me every time I come in with her skill and knowledge. This girl knows her stuff! She is also an expert makeup artist. If you need your makeup done for a photo shoot, a wedding, or even just a fun night out, she knows exactly what to do to make you look fabulous. I also love her quaint little shop in North Park. It's got so much charm and character, it has a nice ambiance that relaxes you, and there is a ton of street parking. read more

After reading the reviews and a terrible eyebrow waxing experience last month, I knew that I needed to see Lorraine at Just Skin. She did an amazing job at reshaping my eyebrows and the experience was great. While she worked on my eyebrows we chatted about great places to visit in the North Park area and our families. I felt very comfortable, especially after learning that she has been at this for about 10 years! She took her time and worked carefully and it shows! I will definitely be returning to Just Skin for any future eyebrow maintenance! read more

I gave up on threading. Never got perfect arches like I did with wax and tweezing so I am back to that (well tweezing anyway since I am on Retin A). Prices are reasonable $20 for full own bushy brows (how I first came in) and $15 after. A bit cheaper than other English speaking salons. If I wasn't about to move back to LA I would get the 75 minute oxygen facials for $65. Usually I see those facials for 50 minutes and for $70 bucks, so it is a good deal. I hate how I didn't discover this place until like 3 months before my move back home. =( Maybe I will come back once a month just because I am to afraid to have anyone else touch my brows. read more

I have been to Jodi twice, and I love her. She is so sweet, and she gives excellent facials. I totally recommend the enzyme peel and microderm combo. The prices are very reasonable given the service you get. Thanks Jodi :-) read more

Nothing but AMAZING!! I have now had 2 facials from Loraine and I am absolutely never going anywhere else. My skin is glowing!! Before Loraine I was a facial skeptic. I'd had 2 prior facials on "girls spa days" at hot spot expensive spas. I never really thought anything was getting done and at the end of them both I wished I had opted for massages. It is so different with Loraine. This girl knows what she is doing and is super reasonably priced. I had her wax my sasquatch eyebrows too and was not disappointed. :) Thank you Loraine for opening my eyes to what a facial should be and what it can do! (And for making me a little less sasquatchy! haha.) I've been so impressed with Loraine's skills that I have officially asked her to do everyone's make-up at my wedding in July. So Excited!!! read more

I am one of those types that takes moderate kindness to my skin. Lorraine and Jodi moved into the space right next door to my salon. Lorraine had offered a free facial to me in honor of being next door and letting me see first hand how she worked. Me not really having the time/ making the time or wanting someone to look over my middle aged skin....I put off getting my free facial until last weekend.(fyi she gave it to me almost a year ago) All I have to say is that I am hooked. It was so relaxing in her room with soft zen music playing and the scent of lovely candles in the cozy space. I was so relaxed. I loved every minute of it. Lorraine explained most of the steps as for some I was in a deep relax mode. Well needless to say, my face had a soft wonderful feel and glow. I am now hooked. I only wish that I hadn't waited so long to have this done. She has gained another client :) Thank you so much! read more

After just one facial with Loraine my skin is glowing and I notice that my skin is smoother and over all more beautiful. After a series of facials with Loraine my skin looks absolutely incredible. My friends have made comments like wow your skin looks amazing and what have you been doing? I love getting facials from Loraine she gives the best facials and I look forward to visiting with her in quaint and relaxing shop. read more

Thank you Lo for allowing me to pin back my overgrown bangs and show off my killer brows! Lorraine fit me in first thing this a.m after i requested an appt last nite!! She did an amazing job-took the time to really give my brows a natural look-offered some helpful at home tips-and made sure i was really satisfied with the job she had done!! Her prices are very reasonable, and after some of the chop shops i've been to-i'd gladly pay more to have Lorraine on my side!!!thanks again!! read more

Super cute salon in South Park! I love going to Just Skin for my facials...I live in the area and it is convenient and relaxing. I have yet to try waxing and nails here - that's next on my list! Online booking is really convenient, but if you prefer to leave and message Lorraine gets back to her customers really quickly. I've had nothing but top notch experiences - go treat yourself to some pampering at Just Skin! read more

My husband and I came in for facials and had a wonderful experience from the minute we walked in the door. Jodi was our esthetician and she made us feel very comfortable and at home. I had The Deluxe facial which I highly recommend. The room was very relaxing! Jodi pays attention to the details and I really felt I received more than my moneys worth. While waiting for my husband I enjoyed chilling in the relaxation room. I was offered something to drink as well as told to make myself at home. Nice reading material and a bowl of candy were a nice touch. A large snifter filled with samples was also a nice touch with a sign that says ... enjoy a free sample. Beautiful relaxing music. What a treat it was. We will absolutely be back. P.S. Ample parking right in front of to the left of the shop. read more

I found Just Skin through my yelp search for wedding makeup artists. Since I've had problem skin all my life, and haven't gotten a facial in quite some time, I thought I would book a facial appointment first, to see how I like them, before deciding on a makeup artist for my wedding. I booked my appointment with Jodi. I had read her bio on their website and thought she would be a great fit for me. I decided to get the glycolic peel/microdermabrasion combo. I arrived to a very cozy, inviting and warm environment. Lorraine was the one who greeted me. She made me feel welcome. I am glad I booked my appointment with Jodi. She is so nice and never once made me feel uncomfortable. Throughout the 1.5 hours I was there, she let me know exactly what she was doing next. She made sure I was comfortable by asking if I was okay every now and then. She told me I was a trooper, after the dreadful extractions. While extractions hurt, she was very careful and took her time. The massage part was my favorite! I've never had my feet massaged before, and I must say, I can't wait for my next appointment. Jodi told me my skin will look amazing by my wedding, and I trust her. She didn't even push for a next appointment. She just wanted to make sure my first facial with her was a good experience in hopes that I book another appointment. I told her I loved every minute of it, and to see her react with such appreciation made me like her even more. I'll be sure to make my next appointment in six weeks!! read more

A few girlfriends and I decided to have a day of pampering and we all booked individual facials with Kristina at Just Skin. It has been almost a week now, and my skin is still looking great! We all agreed that Kristina's facial was one of the best! I was so relaxed that I just may have dozed off at the end! (That's a compliment, right?!) I loved that she also massaged my arms and hands! Ahh! You can tell she loves taking care of her customers - she took her time and was not pushy with trying to recommend products to buy. Thanks, I will definitely be back!! read more

I've been having some dark pigmentation on my face and its really driving me crazy. I decided to try a microdermabrasion, which seemed very scary to me. I made an easy appt with Jodi and she was awesome. She was very friendly and personable the moment I walked in, like a friend I've known forever. She answered every question I had about it, told me how it would feel during and after and told me how to take care of my skin while its healing and help get rid of the dark areas. Jodi's very cool and it wasn't scary at all. Very awesome prices too! read more

I'm not usually one to frequent spas or massage parlors, but I decided to visit Just Skin for help clearing my back blemishes and acne. It was the best decision I've ever made! You get a customized treatment for whatever issue you'd like to resolve. It truly feels like the service you're getting is exactly what your skin needs. Everyone at Just Skin is fantastic, especially Lorraine! She offers a wealth of information on taking care of your skin, and even acts as my occasional sounding board/therapist on days of extreme stress! The atmosphere is also really relaxing. You're ushered into a private room with dim, soft lighting. A robe or sarong are offered for comfort and convenience. There's also the occasional foot bath that is so relaxing. It's easy to feel pampered! The products they use are of high quality and renowned for troubleshooting problematic skin. The warm cup of honey vanilla chamomile tea right after your session is a nice touch as well and really brings the whole experience to a wonderful close. I always look forward to my appointments. These days, I don't trust anyone else with my skin. It's Just Skin or bust! Couldn't recommend this spa enough! read more

Wow, what an incredible experience. I recently got a facial here from Kristina and she was amazing. I have had three facials prior to this - and hands down it was the most comfortable relaxing experience to date. She pampered not only my face but also my feet, neck and arms. My skin glowed for days! I would 100% recommend this spa and 110% recommend Kristina. She was kind, educational and knew when to talk and when to let me just rest. ENJOY! read more

Cristina is amazing! My nails always come out looking perfect, and she uses the best scrubs for manicures/pedicures! The prices are very reasonable and she has her own room, so you aren't listening to the chatter of other people. I get the shellac manicure and my nails do not chip, fade, or break, even after a rough camping trip for two weeks! She does not use any drills, so you will never have to worry about losing the top layer of your nail! Polish take off leaves my nails just as healthy as they were before I got them done, if not better! If you want a relaxing experience ( I love it when she plays Erika Badu and Alicia Keys) and a great mani/pedi, this is the place! I will no longer go to one of those cheap nail salons that don't care about what I like ever again! read more

Loraine did wedding makeup for myself and my Mom and exceeded our every expectation! She listened to me and brought my vision to a new level. She understood my natural and laid back style and elevated it to polished and elegant while letting me still feel like myself. I couldn't have been happier on my most important day! Loraine is a true artist and an expert at her craft! Simply the best there is! read more

Just Skin is the undoubted turning point in what was an acne epidemic in my life. A 30 year old woman I didn't know what the heck was going on... it was so so bad! The worst was when I would be with my parents and see how much they hurt for me- i could try and cover it all day but my parents know me and could see past the paste straight to the throbbing pain going on on my face. One session- LITERALLY ONE- with Lorraine was the beginning to this getting to be a story from my past and not a group therapy "this is why I'm sad today" current events situation. She gave me amazing product recs, too. Nothing she was selling, but she was super specific about what to get- and she was very strict about several brands. I still can't get over about how right she was about those SPECIFIC BRANDS! I've (lazily) dabbled with other brands of the same product, but to no avail! This place is LEGIT read more

I started going to Lorraine last year as she was referred by a friend of mine to do my (and my bridal party's) wedding make-up. The trial was perfect and not only did she get a feel for what I wanted/didn't want, but I looked awesome for a nice night out (bonus!). Then the day of the wedding she came to the hotel, set up shop and got to work - everyone loved her and I loved that I could hear my friends and mom laughing and having a great time as we were getting ready. Since the big day I've been going back to maintain my eyebrows (turns out I've been doing them all wrong because when Lorraine works her magic, they look awesome). Long story short - Lorraine is talented, fun and all around amazing. read more

I got a facial last week from Taylor (I'm pretty sure). It was the best facial I've ever had. I haven't gotten one in at least a couple months so she spent extra time on extractions and she did a good job with the microderm. Included was a foot scrub and she also gave me an arm, leg, chest, and shoulder massage. She did a wonderful job with it all but I especially appreciate her attention to detail. She made sure to go over areas and not miss a spot. The facial was totally noticeable. My skin is glowing!I will mosdef be back in a month!!! read more

Just skin is Just Right! I love this little hidden gem in South Park! My esthetician Andreia left my skin glowing. She was so friendly and professional. She knew exactly what to do to bring my skin back to life! I would recommend the oxygen facial, my skin feels so amazing after. And the best part is the hand and foot massage, so relaxing! I can't wait to go back! Trust me, you won't find better service and quality then Andreia @ Just Skin. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Haven Collective! Taylor did an amazing job on my facial. I had problematic skin after just having a baby and she took the time to fully consult with me in order to solve these challenges. She was gentle and informative because she made sure to educate me about why my skin was being problematic and what I can do to change it. I also received an amazing massage by Yoli! It was super relaxing and I felt like a brand new woman after - all my tension was gone after my massage with her! Haven Collective also has a bunch of cute boutique like items that I really enjoyed shopping. I highly recommend taking a visit! read more

This review has been overdue for a while now. I just wanted to say thank you for the great service. Lorraine is awesome and her studio is so clean nice and relaxing. Special thank you to Taylor who did my facial. She did a fantastic job! Greatest beauty salon I've ever been to! Definitely coming back here again! read more

I called to Haven at the morning and they found the time to fix my eyebrows shape. Lorraine was super friendly and professional. She helped to balance my eyebrows and showed me how to use eyebrows shadow correctly. Definitely will come back! Theirs studio is so cute, a lot of interesting details! Highly recommended! read more
