Short Version: Beautiful, calm, and incredibly clean space! Michelle is an amazing sugaring technician who worked quickly and efficiently while keeping me distracted and comfortable throughout the appointment. I would absolutely recommend J'amie Skin Spa for sugaring services! Long Version: I found J'amie Skin Spa after another salon unexpectedly canceled my appointment just hours before I was set to leave for vacation. Hoping for a last-minute miracle, I called and spoke with Michelle, who was so kind and accommodating in fitting me in that same evening. From the moment I arrived, the space felt welcoming, calming, and impeccably clean. Michelle was professional, efficient, and made the entire experience far more comfortable than expected by keeping the conversation flowing and helping me relax throughout the appointment. The aftercare guidance was thoughtful and thorough, and overall the experience exceeded my expectations. I'm so grateful they were able to help me out last minute, and I'll absolutely be returning! read more

I can't recommend Michelle enough. Her facials are exceptional, thoughtful, deeply restorative, and unlike anything I've experienced elsewhere. The facial massage alone is reason to return. Her space is calm and beautifully grounding, her product recommendations are consistently spot-on. read more

WOW. JUST WOW. I decided to treat myself to a facial when I found Michelle through the axxess card. Needless to say it was such an incredible experience my skin felt so fresh and cleansed I was so relaxed after I did not want to leave! Super clean space right in the middle of downtown with easy parking, very relaxing environment. I have pretty sensitive skin and Michelle took the time to ask me what products I was using as well as my skin type, etc. all the products felt really great on my skin and she really took the effort to make it such an incredible experience. The only downside to this is that I now want to go back every week! Oh, and she offers facial packages too read more

I had the most relaxing, lovely facial at J'aime! The salon is fabulous, Michelle was so sweet, and the facial itself was wonderful. I highly recommend! read more

Michelle is great and easy to talk to if you want to chat during your service... or she will let you relax. I came to her spa for a facial and brow wax. I highly recommend her. I have sensitive skin and have had reactions at other places, but she did everything right, my skin looked and felt amazing after. Thank you Michelle!! read more

I tried this spa after seeing they had a locals 50% off deal (Axxess). I got the facial and it was amazing so I now buy three packs of the facial and have been getting a facial once per month for the past several months. My skin looks and feels amazing and the photos of me prove it, even when I don't have makeup on. The spa is beautiful, has great natural lighting and has such a relaxing ambiance. I highly recommend this spa! read more

Nothing but great things to say about Michelle and her salon. I booked the appointment for my wife and allowed her to pick the treatment. She really enjoyed the experience and custom care given to her by Michelle. Says she'll definitely return! read more

I took my step daughter for facials here for the first time and we were both so happy we chose this spot. I got the Revtipen while my step daughter got the luxe facial. Both were super relaxing and our faces felt amazing after. Michelle does a great job in bringing that full relaxation to the whole process so that you almost feel like you are floating. Ahhhhh. She is also super knowledgeable and helpful with any skin problems you may have. They have a lot of different products you can purchase, but I love that they don't push them at you. Michelle is just there to help and it was a pleasant experience! read more

Fantastic experience with Michelle, looking forward to my next service. Her shop is adorable and inviting, which is a added bonus to her fantastic personality and expertise. read more

Michelle is the best! I've had many amazing facials with her as well as sugaring. Her facials are so relaxing and my skin always looks amazing when we're done. Her technique with sugaring is the least painful experience I've ever had. She's quick, thorough and so fun to catch up with. read more

Perfect waxing experience! I needed some waxing for a revealing costume and Michelle was superb. I was terrified and from start to finish she put me at ease with her engaging conversation and quick, light touch. I initially thought I'd be a once only wax, but after my experience I will definitely be back! read more

The absolute best facial in the game! Not only is she located in the cutest town in California but definitely comes to the table with endless knowledge of what your skin is in desperate need of. She has literally changed my skin entirely and is worth the drive up from LA once a month. Plus her sugaring is something I haven't experienced anywhere else!!! Find some time to check out this adorable boutique, high class feeling facial! read more

Got sugared and hurt so good. I was laughing so hard at how quickly the sugaring was happening! 15 mins of pain for not having to shave- I'm happy read more

Michelle was the best!! She was so friendly and kept me talking through the pain throughout the whole process. She made sure I felt safe and comfortable and helped me feel not insecure about the sugaring in more delicate areas! I think for a beginner going into sugaring for the first time you will want to go back even if it hurts! Lol thank you so much for making the "hairy nightmares" go away!! read more

Michelle has been extremely amazing amazing during the past three years with all services provided! Specifically I would love to commend Michelle and her strict adherence to covid guidelines even though I don't agree with some of the restrictions Michelle has gone above and beyond to make sure I feel safe during all of my visits. I'm unsure what Clarissa is referring to in her review as any questions I have had have been answered with understanding and patience even if it's a question that might be uneasy to answer. 100/10 would recommend her services always ! read more

I've been going to Michelle for my brazilian waxes for over a year now and I am always happy with the results! Shes super nice and makes you feel comfortable the entire time.

Very fast and professional service. Their experience shows, would highly recommend this spa for waxing.

Just had my first experience with J'aime Skin Spa, the moment you walk in the door you are hit with a clean and bright atmosphere. I chose the luxe facial(60 min). Michelle genuinely excels in her delivery and goes that extra mile in sourcing high quality products/ingredients to bring to your skin. I can't wait to experience other treatments. Also if you love candles, there is a great selection to chose from. read more

She made me feel super comfortable and laugh even while ripping all my hairs out! I didn't leave feel sticky and sensitive like I usually feel after getting a Brazilian. Will be going to Michelle from here on out! read more

Michelle is amazing! I have followed her and will always follow her. She is definitely the only person I trust with my skin. From sugaring to facials. She's a great person to talk to and has the funniest stories! And I remember my first sugaring experience I was so nervous and she totally made it quick and almost painless. Sugaring is way better then wax for sure. And Michelle is definitely the expert on it. Would never see anyone else read more

Michelle is just as amazing as the reviews say. I called and booked a last minute facial for a friend and I and she blew us away. The 60 minute facial was the perfect mix- she addressed our complexion concerns (goodbye maskne!) and followed up with an incredibly relaxing facial massage, incorporating products that felt and smelled amazing. It's been several days since my facial and my face looks so clear and feels so soft. 12/10 would recommend read more

I normally get my Brazilian, half legs and underarms done with her. I highly recommend her. read more

This place is amazing! I recently wanted to get a facial for my birthday, and turned to yelp for a good suggestion. With plenty of 5 star reviews I booked my service on yelp, which was quick and easy. Upon arrival the studio is clean and adorable! Michelle the owner is so sweet and easy to talk to, she has no hesitation answering questions and truly cares about her clients needs- not product or service pushing. I'm already looking forward to booking my next service as well as recommending this spa to all my friends! Thanks again Michelle! read more

Michelle is absolutely amazing. I started seeing her for her sugaring a couple of years ago and instantly became a loyal client. She is very professional and ensures that you understand the process and what to expect each visit. Each time I go in and see her, it's literally sugar on, sugar off and I am on my way (yes, she makes it that quick and easy!). She is super friendly and easy to talk to (and schedule with) which makes the entire process a breeze! I HIGHLY recommend Michelle to anyone who is looking to try or switch to sugaring.

I have been seeing Michelle for bikini waxes for 3 years! She is awesome! I love that she uses sugaring instead of hard or soft wax because it's so much better for my skin and helps me not get ingrown hairs. Michelle is super nice, friendly and professional. Even though bikini waxing hurts she makes you feel comfortable and is able to keep a conversation! Her new salon is very nice, and clean! I highly recommend her! read more

This is a new skin spa and it has simple chic decor. I saw Tammy for a facial twice and I loved how my skin felt. I was able to go bare face the rest of the week when necessary and felt my skin was cleaner and glowing. She was gentle with myself and also took care of my mom. Tammy is sweet and genuinely cares about her clients and their needs. I also saw Michelle for sugaring and thank goodness because finding someone locally for a good Brazilian is not easy. Michelle is quick, painless and has the method of distraction locked down. My mom also booked her microblading session with Courtney in June, so we'll be back! read more

I thoroughly enjoyed myself at J'aime Spa! Michelle runs a beautiful, clean, calming place and I absolutely recommend it. My facial was with Tammy - she was excellent! She took such care with each step and I left glowing. I can't wait to try something else from their menu of services! read more
