Honest Skin entrance

I had an amazing experience getting a facial at Honest Skin. Lauren at the front desk was super welcoming the minute I walked in. The waiting area is gorgeous! From outside the building you would know that the minute you step in you are transported to a comfy, peaceful space environment. Abri did my facial and I loved her calm demeanor. She explained to me what to expect and gave helpful recommendations for my skin. When I got here, I thought this would be a one time experience because it's not very close to where I live. But I had such an amazing experience that I will definitely be back to keep this skin glowing!! Do yourself a favor and visit Honest Skin.

Area to put your belongings, a towel to wear during your treatment

I came here for my first ever facial and had a great experience. Brandi did my facial for me and I was able to get a new client package of $75 for their Honest Essential facial including sample products to try (she gave me small to-go samples of the products she used on me during the session to see if I wanted to try them for myself at home). When I arrived, I was greeted immediately and was asked if I wanted a beverage. When I entered the room, there was a cute little welcome sign for me as well as 2 coasters that asked if I wanted to talk during my session or if I'd rather just "drift away" - loved that they had this so the session could be exactly how I wanted it to be. Brandi was super helpful as she talked me through the steps she did, why she was doing what she was doing/why it helped, and gave me a ton of tips to take with me. The treatment was relaxing, informative, and the price was reasonable compared to other places. There are add-ons that can be discussed as well. They are also having an October special where you can get 20% off their products if you bring in a skin product you don't use/want. My skin after the session also felt very good. Since it was my first treatment and I mentioned my skin was sensitive, Brandi tailored my treatment to my sensitive skin and went light to see if there were any adverse reactions. I have my second treatment booked and hoping to get more results from that!

I had the Honest Essential with Jordan. It was my first facial ever and she was very patient with my questions and gave me a detailed explanation with each step of the process. She customized a treatment for me after accessing my skin, and also sent me home with personalized skincare samples to continue treatment at home. It was such an awesome experience, I will be seeing her monthly to continue my facial treatments. After just one, I'm already seeing a difference in my skin texture! She really took her time with me, I unfortunately had a lot of congestion on my cheeks, nose and temples that required a lot of extractions. She's a perfectionist and got every single one even though it definitely took extra time to do so. Along with the necessary treatments, she included a scalp and shoulder message to help relax me after the extractions. Jordan is the best and I really enjoyed being pampered at Honest Skin. There is ample parking and it is right off the highway, so easy to find. Right by Liberty Station so you can make a day of treating yourself with a facial and dinner and drinks after!

My before and after with Tamar's help

I worked closely with Tamar for the past few months and she completely transformed my skin in the best way possible. Tamar is very kind and very helpful. She had a plan of treatment for my acne that I had been having trouble controlling for a year and a half, at a very reasonable monthly cost & I also really liked that the product maintenance was reasonable as well. Everyone at The Honest Skin is very kind and welcoming and salon space is super cozy as well. I highly recommend the honest skin for anyone wanting to reach their skin goals!

Do you treat melasma?

Hi Monica! Yes, we can definitely address melasma with a series of enzyme or chemical peel treatments. We would need to assess your skin to come up with a treatment plan and also make sure that your at-home care is supporting the treatments that you…

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 have long, thick Asian hair and Michelle did an amazing job styling and texturizing for a balanced look. I love how she had me move and tilt my head in all sorts of directions to make sure everything fell evenly from every angle. It's a small detail but really showed how much effort she puts into her work. You can tell Michelle cares about her clients and is committed to providing a great experience. I never felt rushed or uncomfortable speaking up, and she really took her time which I really appreciated. She walked me through her whole process and I left with lighter, healthier hair and face framing layers -- which is exactly what I was going for! Side note: Michelle has lived in San Diego for over 20 years so she knows the area well and gave me tons of great recommendations for places to check out. I love how connected, down to earth, experienced, and attentive she is... all the best qualities in a hair stylist! Thanks so much, Michelle

Michelle worked her magic and treated all of the above, which took some time. Do expect a longer appointment time than you're probably used to because she is very thoughtful about what your needs are and committed to having your hair look it's best. The time spent was so worth it! My daughter, quite the critic, loved my smooth new haircut, as did I. Michelle is the most amazing stylist I've ever had and I've been to many, so without hesitation submit this recommendation.

While they are a small team, they are each experts in their art. Chelly (Facials): Chelly transformed my acne-prone skin! Her facials are relaxing, and effective. She is gentle, meticulous, and truly cares about results. I really appreciate the fact that she takes time to read your skin and provides a personal experience; rather than one recipe for all facials/skin types. Earl (Massages): Earl listens closely to your concerns and delivers exactly what you need. Whether you are looking to fully relax or need targeted work, Earl takes care of you. I've had two instances where just one massage session has extremely made a difference on a constant pain area; Including a constant tension pain on my shoulder from long hours of desk work. I've not had the opportunity to try their Ayurvedic treatments yet, however I am positive that Christianne and her team will deliver the same level of professionalism and quality as the treatments I have enjoyed. Overall, I truthfully recommend this place for anyone searching for a holistic personalize self care treatment. 10/10 would recommend!

The clinic did an excellent job explaining the results and connecting the findings to the symptoms I was experiencing. What impressed me most was how thorough and knowledgeable they were. They were able to pinpoint issues that had not been identified before and gave me a clear plan on what steps to take next. I felt listened to, supported, and confident that I was finally getting to the root of the problem instead of just treating symptoms. I highly recommend Ayurbida Wellness and Clinic to anyone considering a GI-MAP. It was one of the best investments I have made in my health.
