I have been seeing Julie for over a decade and I absolutely love her work! Most current and LED. My skin looked refreshed and hydrated! Inspired by the newer treatments being offered by Julie, and her ever present professionalism, I had the DMK enzyme facial done just recently, and all I can say is, I felt like it took ten years of my face. At 53, that's saying something! My pores were smaller, my skin was tighter and I really felt like I had a mini face lift. I immediately asked how soon I could do it again! To top off this trend of beautification I also had the brow lamination with hybrid dye, for those fuller darker brows. I am absolutely thrilled with all of it! If you are on the fence about seeing Julie, don't wait any longer, treat yourself to some of the most relaxing and luxurious facials and treatments you'll ever experience!! You are worth it! read more

I've had many facials in my life - been getting them since I was a teenager. I can truly say Jules is one of the best estheticians. She really gets to know and understand your skin type. The texture I left with after just one session with her was unmatched!! Thank you sooo much Jules. She's also the coolest & so sweet- so that's always a plus. read more

Before breaking down my experience, let me just jump in and say this was the best facial I've ever had and I've been getting facials for over 10 years! I went Julie because my face was severely dry from postpartum dehydration and winter weather. I literally feel like I aged 10 years in 1 season. My skin was flaky and fine lines were becoming more prominent. Like many women, I wanted Julie to work a miracle and fix my face in 1 visit . The crazy thing is that she actually did AMBIANCE: The room was dimly lit with that clean spa smell that just whispers "relax". The service bed was extremely comfortable. I actually fell asleep a few times during the service. PROCESS: Julie introduced me to a DMK facial that helps oxygen pump to the skin and helps with blood circulation and oxygen coming up just below the surface and helps promote my own collagen production exactly what I needed RESULTS: My face felt so smooth with no more dry scaliness on the surface. My face was glowing and I kept getting compliments for weeks after and I stopped wearing layers of makeup because I just loved my skin. ESTHETICIAN: Julie was just Amazing. She has such a welcoming and calming energy. And her touch was so soft I felt my tension melt away. This was a 5star facial experience and I'm excited to have this as my new self care ritual. Thank you so much Julie read more

Wow, what I find. Jules skin studio is the best. She really cares for her clients and the health of their skin. I've tried several spa's and other places over the years and Jules jis the best. I booked my the next 3 months of appointments and she offers cool packages that gets you a free facial. This is my very first yelp review ever but I felt that it was important to let others know that they should comfortably make appointment with Jules and will be more than satisfied. She's often there till 9 PM so she will work around anyones schedule to be accommodating. Go Jules !! +1 (617) 921-2438 Jeff read more

Jules is the most incredible human I have ever met. She makes you feel so comfortable during your wax appt. I go to her for my Brazilians and I will not be going anywhere else. She's thorough, personable, talented, and prices are so reasonable!! She's located in La Jolla. The studio is clean. There is usually plenty of street parking. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Just trust me and give this place a try. :) read more

I went to Julie for the first time last year to use a facial certificate I won and was so pleasantly surprised. I have only had two other facials and didn't find them to be good experiences. My skin is sensitive so after poking and prodding it looks like a sea of red blotches, but since I had the certificate I figured I'd give Julie a try. Julie was SO nice, offering me tea or wine when I got to her small studio. Then I laid down on a massage type table and she covered me with a blanket and put my hands in warm mitts while she proceeded to gently give me a papaya facial (I upgraded). The Elizabeth Grady products she used were amazing - smelled great and were very soothing to my sensitive skin. I could feel her clearing my pores and yet it didn't hurt! Julie made me a believer in facials again! I've never gone to her for waxing but after all the rave reviews will probably try that too! Definitely 5 stars! And Julie is so nice to boot you will feel good supporting her! read more

I would love to add to the wonderful reviews here! I was traveling thru San Diego, did some research here and found Julie. She lived up to all the wonderful comments on here. Not only did I love my facial, she was so pleasant and friendly. Julie puts you at ease immediately. I have had so many facials at home and when I travel- so very picky. She doesn't disappoint. Book it! read more

I have nothing but good things to say about Julie and her studio! First off, she really does her best to ensure that the proper precautions are taken to avoid anyone getting sick. Second, she is extremely kind and a great person to be around, the entire session was great! Third, I left her studio with glowing skin and even a couple days later my skin is continuing to look better and better. I was a little nervous about getting a facial since we've all heard horror stories, but she completely exceeded expectations and put me at ease! Can't wait to come back for my next facial, thanks so much Julie! read more

10 stars for the best facial of your life! Do yourself a favor and just book it. She is more than welcoming and accommodating and is a joy to talk to. Had a horrible first facial in the Bay Area before I found Jules Skin Studio and she has a new regular. You will leave with your skin glowing. She KNOWS her stuff! Just book it and your skin will thank you! read more

My review is from 2013! I had to update!! I'm still 100% devoted to Julie and have my neighbor going too. We love her! Waxing, facials, makeup, skin care regimes, acne care - we get it all. My mom even goes when she's in town from NYC and she has her pick of places for waxing and facials. Did I say we love her? We do! Julie is so kind and he work is amazing. You may have tried the rest, come get the best. Bird Rock has the real gem in La Jolla. read more

I was in town on holiday and used Yelp to find a good facial. Julie got back to me ASAP and accommodated my schedule. She was professional and knew skin very well, balanced with being very warm. I had an outstanding facial and would highly suggest her for anything skin related. Even though I went to her for the first time she knew what types of products would work well with my skin. read more

Jules saved my Coachella plans today! She is so professional and made me feel so comfortable at the same time! And all at the last minute!!! I had the very first, worst, and last experience with sugaring today (at CLEOs) and I turned to google for a waxing professional AKA Hail Mary!!! Enter Jules!!! Wow...she picked up the phone right away (area code 617 is not a typo ) and was soooo understanding. As luck would have it, she had a small opening and squeezed me in for a Brazilian! She was super clear about how to find her spot. It's super clean (emphasis on clean) and she did a phenomenal job! She was done super quick and not a hair in sight! She also threw in a pass at my upper lip, which was the victim of the aforementioned sugaring fiasco, with the electric wand thingy used for facials! I NEVER write reviews, but Jules was the penultimate professional! read more

I'm thrilled that I found Jules Skin Studio in LaJolla. I badly needed a facial and she gave me a great treatment that I look forward to going back on a regular basis. Julie is very knowledgeable and targeted the areas of my concern. I left with hydrated skin, my lines were minimized and my overall complexion was brighter. She did several steps and then ended with a LED light for a few minutes to brighten up my face. Very, very good value. I've been to many salons and this is the best facial I've had in years. read more

Jules was great! Super nice, and informative about the whole process. Treated me so special through the facial & just overall great customer service. I definitely saw an improvement with my skin as well and hoping to go back soon when I'm able to get into a more normal schedule! read more

Amazing amazing amazing!!! Literally the best wax I have ever gotten. Did not know it could be that easy. Jules is so sweet and does an amazing job. No need to go anywhere else! read more

Julie is awesome. I've been waxing & sugaring for years and this was honestly the least painful (and most enjoyable, dare I say) waxing experience! Would highly recommend, felt super comfortable, and highly appreciated her working me into the schedule last minute. read more

Jules is truly the best. I've been going to her for about 6 years and every time I go in to see her I have such a pleasant experience. Easy parking, her space is super relaxing and extremely clean (relaxing music,essential oils), and on top of this she is so sweet and fun to talk to. I usually go in for a Brazilian wax and each time I'm shocked by how little it hurts. She uses hard wax and has adopted techniques to ensure that her clients feel the least amount of pain as possible. She is quick, but efficient, is able to answer all questions I might have, her pricing is extremely fair, and she really cares that I leave happy each visit. I've moved out of San Diego for college and work, but each time I'm back in San Diego I make sure to schedule an appointment because it's been impossible to find somebody who even comes close to her. I find my self excited to come in because I always enjoy our conversation, she is the sweetest ever. I truly could not recommend her services enough! read more

Jules was amazing to my face! You know that you've been under the hands of a skilled professional facialist when days after a great facial your skin glows! Her Sola space is intimate and peaceful. She has quality equipment with quality products. Jules was very communicative and accommodating to my schedule. I will incorporate her services into a routine to achieve the consistency of having great skin. I know that with her, my skin is in the right hands. I recommend her only if you are looking for a wonderfully relaxing, reasonably priced, face spa experience! read more

Julie has been waxing my brows on the regular for several years now and I wouldn't go to anyone else. They're perfect every time and the redness is always minimal and doesn't last long, plus she's really sweet, accommodating and fun to talk to. She doesn't even gripe when I go *forever* between appointments and come in looking like a yeti has moved in on my face. Eventually, I'll have her wax something else so we can get to know each other even better. ha! Thanks, Jules! xo read more

Thanks to Yelp I have a new favorite esthetician. Jules was awesome! My face felt like it was on a wonderful and much needed vacation during her facial. She was thorough, informative, and just the perfect amount of chatting so I was able to totally relax. I loved that she used hot steam. Everything flowed very nicely. Her prices are reasonable. She has 5 stars for a reason. Would definitely recommend! read more

I'm new to SD and was looking for a good Brazilian wax. After reading the mixed reviews of Pretty Kitty/Undercarriage/Beauty and Body etc. on Yelp, I decided to call Jules Skin Studio - no reviews on Yelp but 24 bucks for a Brazilian (coupon in the Reader). Julie fit me in for the day after I called - she was awesome! Very professional and friendly! Her salon suite (it's in a salon suite building) is clean with relaxing music playing. She stepped out while I changed and did a thorough job, getting out the tweezers for the strays. For some reason, the Brazilian didn't hurt as much as usual. Completely comfortable experience for something that can kind of be awkward. I'd go again and I'd recommend her to others. read more

I love Jules, by far the best brazilian I have ever had done was from here. I've only done the hard wax, which I'm told is less painful, and not only is that true but I was shocked how long it lasted. It remained hairless much longer then any other wax job. I always get ingrown hairs, it's just part of waxing, but amazingly, not with Jules! Also, the atmosphere is great, I always feel every comfortable during the process. Of course, the complimentary wine does help! :) I would recommend this place to anyone. I drive all the way from escondido to see her and would travel even further if i had to. read more

Julie is awesome! She makes you feel comfortable and talks to you like a friend and not like you are just another client. The brazillian was close to painless because she distracted me with hilarious stories and also let me vent about my crazy life! :) I would recommend Jules to anyone 100%! read more

I live in New York City and own a salon in Bankers Hill. I come out about every 7 weeks and the first thing I do is schedule my appt with Julie. She is clean, professional, and makes it super comfortable. - oh and NEVER had an ingrown after a wax here. See ya in July! read more

I used Julie's brazilian special, 34 for first time customers, which in itself is a deal. This was also my first time ever getting waxed "down there" so I was pretty damn nervous!! Julie was super calm and patient with me, promising me it won't be as bad as I think and making me feel extremely comfortable, even though I was stark naked from the waist down, haha. After pouring me a glass of much-needed red wine, she got started!! Julie uses the cirepil brand wax, which is a stripless hard wax, and as I learned that day, much better and gentler on the skin, especially those who are sensititve, like me. She never double-dips her waxing sticks, which is great because I sure wouldn't want someone's double-dipped stick from a brazilian in the same wax she would use on my eye-brows. So after each application, she throws out the used stick and grabs a brand new one :) Her place is super clean and relaxing with calming music and wine as I mentioned before. We talked the whole wax and even laughed about how she needs to find super long straws so her clients can drink and get waxed at the same time, haha. By the time she was done, I went from being a little embarrassed about showing her my goods at first, to laughing about how soft my skin is now and how nice it will be not to have to shave for a couple weeks. I would recommend Julie to anyone and everyone. She has a great first-time price, and her expertise, energy and all-around down-to-earth personality will bring you back for more services... I promise. read more

Julie is amazing! I bought a Local Twist coupon for a facial having never heard of Jules Skin Studio before. The facial was super relaxing and enjoyable, and Julie is so nice and fun to talk to. After my great facial from Julie (and after reading Yelp reviews) I decided to go see her for a Brazilian. She is AWESOME at waxing. Her hard wax is great and she's very attentive and thorough. Your first wax is only $34, so I upgraded and got V-dazzled. Yup, a Swarovski crystal tattoo now adorns my nether regions. It's super cute! Also after 5 waxes ($45 normally) the 6th one is free. That's a fabulous deal. I have officially found myself a new go-to for waxing. As a plus, Julie also always seems to have great restaurant/bar recommendations for me, and is totally sociable and sweet. She always offers wine when you get to your appt. What's better than that?! read more

She was my first and will be my last haha! Jules is great! I have gone to her for months now for waxing. She makes you feel comfortable and has a great personality! Plus the glass a wine is always nice! Five stars! read more

Jules took my facial virginity and I'll definitely be back. Didn't really know what to expect going in, but after a brutal week at Mammoth during the last storm, I thought I could use a revival. Jules is professional, courteous and knows her stuff. Easy to chat with, her space is clean and cozy and I think I may have fallen asleep at the end. Her spot is a little tough to find if you're not looking, but it's right on LJB and there's ample parking. Just walk in, go right and you're there. Well worth it! read more

After ready all the comments I bought the coupon deal for facial with Julie. I made an appointment and specifically asked her to call me on my CELL and confirm the appointment prior to the scheduled time. However, she called me on my office phone (I normally am not there) and left a VM and mark my coupon USED!! Seriously???? So I called her up today to explain and sort it out. She was so mean & rude and basically told me NO!!! I mean how can you do this to people? I didn't get to use her services but with the attitude I got from her I would NOT recommend her to anyone. read more

Julie has done it again. She brought in a new organic line "Pure Fiji" it's absolutely amazing! The scents are incredible. I'm really sensitive to perfumes but these didn't bother me at all, they were so intoxicating I didn't want to shower ever again! I got a full body treatment with a sugar scrub that melted as she massaged it into my body, really neat, never experienced anything like it. Then she finished with a coconut oil scalp and hair treatment that left my scalp and hair so hydrated and shiny. Awesome and relaxing treatment for yourself or would be a great gift for that special someone. Great addition to all of her other services. read more

Wow, what I find. Jules skin studio is the best. She really cares for her clients and the health of their skin. I've tried several over the years and Jules jis the best.

I recently moved to San Diego And was looking for a new esthetician and found Julie!!! Seriously changed my life I def recommend her facials and brazilans (and vajazzle). The environment is very relexing and in upscale la jolla! Never seeing anyone else in sd read more

I wish there was an option to give a million stars because I definitely would. Jules is AH-MAZING! I will never go to anyone else for my skin care needs. She is so incredibly sweet, funny and not to mention knowledgable about everything skin related. I have been going to her for over 2 years now and every single visit is relaxing, entertaining and leaves me feeling completely rejuvenated. I wholeheartedly recommend her for all of the services she provides and I guarantee once you visit her, you will keep coming back! read more

I have always been a fan of getting facials but I have had a really hard time finding someone that gave quality facials and going the extra mile to make you feel pampered. I show up and Jules also offers me something to drink first. She is great at examining my skin and making peels to match. She goes the extra step and gives a hand and arm massage and sets your hands is a warm mitt to allow the lotion to absorb while she finishes. I love that she never cuts corners, always gives you your money's worth and is so friendly and warm. I suggest her to all my friends. read more

Where do I begin with Jules?? She's an INCREDIBLE aesthetician and an even more incredible person. It is a JOY to see her every time I visit! She does a wonderful job & is one of the most positive people I've ever met. She always has a smile on her face & KNOWS what she's doing! She is the ultimate professional. I had been living in San Diego for over a year & already had a steady aesthetician, but friends at the restaurant I worked at kept raving about Jules (as a person, her wax, & her prices). One day in 2010, my regular aesthetician decided to back down her hours to only every other Saturday (eek!) due to her deciding to go back into teaching as well. I was desperate for a Brazilian & an eyebrow wax & was unable to schedule a time/day that worked with my regular aesthetician, so I tried Julie instead. I never returned to my old aesthetician again. I have been getting my eyebrows waxed for over 14 years & I have been getting full Brazilian waxes in multiple states & countries I've lived in since 2006. Jules is by far the best when it comes to type of wax, talking to you to distract you, making sure to stop/absorb some of the pain directly after pulling any wax off, and operates her business out of private COMFORTABLE studio! Not to mention PRICE PRICE PRICE! Like I said, I've gotten Brazilians all over & all of my previous aestheticians cost a minimum of 30% more than what Jules charges. She's so good about throwing in any free sample goodies too of new products she likes AND she sometimes runs specials. I recommend her to all of my friends - everyone has left each visit very satisfied. Also, I bought a facial from Jules for my best friend for her birthday & she said it was A-MAZING! She's not the only person I've heard say that Jules facials are AWESOME! That's what I'll be buying for myself as my next treat. I can't believe I haven't Yelped Jules Skin Studio until now. I'm actually embarrassed because she deserves it. Julie takes pride in her job & will brighten your day the second you walk through her door. read more

Yet again another AMAZING facial from Julie! Recently I have been breaking out on my face due to working out and stress. I actually won a contest on fb for a free facial! I'm so glad I redeemed it within weeks of winning! My face feels clean and clear of breakout! If you're looking for the BEST facial in SD, this is the place! read more

Saying my experience with Julie was amazing is an understatement. For one, she was so kind to accommodate me last minute. Her place, decorated so mindfully and beautifully by her, is an experience in itself. It's ironic that I usually clamp up in spas that feel 'too' perfect, but it was the complete opposite with Julie. She made me feel so comfortable instantly, and our conversations felt like talking to an old friend (that's because I'm a talker, but you can always go for some quiet time). As for her service, Julie's spent years working on her craft and is constantly learning what's new in the skincare world, and invests in great products. And her work truly shows on your skin, not to mention she goes above and beyond with giving your skin the time it deserves. Its been two weeks and my skin is still GLOWING. I'm beyond happy with what's been my favorite facial experience in California so far. Thank you Julie! read more

Julie is awesome! In addition to being a way rad chick, she does exceptional waxing. I've been going to her for ages and she's fantastic. She uses hard or strip wax, whichever you prefer, and gives the least painful yet most effecgive brazilian I've had. I also got one facial from her and it's probably the best one I've ever gotten. I felt like I'd gotten 8 hours of sleep afterwards! * UPDATE * Dear Yelp, I don't know why you flagged and filtered my review - this is legit, people! Julie is awesome and fellow yelpers should know it! read more

I went to Julie for my first ever bikini wax, and she was awesome! For my birthday, my friends decided to get me a Brazilian and I'm so glad they took me to Julie. She's really cool and makes a girl feel comfortable, and she does a fantastic job as well. I definitely will keep going back for waxing, and I've gotta get a facial too! **What is up with the filtering here? I don't know what you're up to Yelp, but this is a real review! read more

I was recommended to Jules Skin Studio by a friend and went for my very first Brazilian wax. Julie made me feel very comfortable and relaxed from the minute I walked in the door. The room was spotless! Clean linens, pleasant fresh smell and very organized! She even offered me a glass of wine :) For my first time it was of course painful but Julie made it manageable. The results were incredible! Never had any issues with skin irritation and my hair grew back very fine. I have been going to Julie for the last 6 months now, about once a month, and definitely will never go anywhere else! I have recommended countless friends to go to her for their services and two have become regulars like myself. Oh and by the way, the cost is very competitive for this area and for what you get! Definitely a huge plus for me! read more
