I LOVE Natalie at Apotheke! I followed her from her previous location and I'm so glad that I did. This location has better parking and is more convenient for me anyways! She always offers a water or beer (if in stock ;-) which is so sweet! I actually look forward to getting waxed because I get to catch up with Natalie. Natalie and Erica even went to Las Vegas to attend a skin care expo to stay up to date. Natalie is passionate about skincare and will make recommendations that are truly personalized. For example, I get Brazilians every 4-5 weeks, and at one of my appointments, she said, let's wait one more week. I'm so glad I did, because the wax turned out amazing after the wait! I've seen Natalie for Brazilian & eyebrow waxes since summer 2013...she is a perfectionist & an amazing person! When my best friend moved to San Diego, I sent her to Natalie and she is now a loyal customer as well! :) P.S. - Buy the PFB Vanish for your brazilian wax to prevent ingrown hairs & discoloration! P.P.S. - I loooove the GlyMed Plus Mega Purifying Cleanser!!! read more

Erica is amazing and wonderful and super sweet. Makes you feel totally comfortable and the studio is so sweet and quietly tucked away. I love everything about this place. Going here forever until further notice!! She's full of knowledge and helpful tips to take care of your skin.(Brazilian in my case) but definitely going for facials in the future. The best secret spot in SD love it!! You should go, just sayin. And I'm sure they're both amazing cause they're friends! So you can't go wrong! Make an appointment! read more

I've been going to Natalie for my Brazilian waxes for about 2 years now. She's quick and professional. I've had to bring my toddler a few times and she's so accommodating and sweet to her. Definitely recommend her for waxing and facials! You'll love her! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. I went in on a recommendation from a friend because I needed a new facialist. Natalie was nothing short of absolutely amazing! She is really sweet and actually listens when you talk about your skin health and goals that you have. It also helps that the office is really nice and very clean which makes you feel like you are in a great place. I went in for a customized facial and after I left my skin continued to look better throughout the rest of the day. I will definitely be back! read more

Erica is the best!! She always makes me feel comfortable and now that I'm pregnant my skin is a lot more sensitive, she still manages to try to make it as comfortable for me as possible! I would recommend her to everyone! read more

I loved my custom facial from Natalie! She examined my skin and determined the best treatment to get me the results I wanted. She is incredibly knowledgeable on skin care and products. Not only was my experience comfortable and relaxing, my skin is now fresh and glowing! read more

I've never had so many compliments on my skin since I started seeing Natalie for my Esthetician needs. She is very knowledgeable about which products to use on my super sensitive skin during facials and recommends a proper home care regimen. I actually look forward to washing my face these days - it looks smooth, clear, brighter and feels so soft and squeaky clean. Natalie is always professional and follows up with me a few days after any treatments to see how my skin is doing. I look forward to my monthly treat with Natalie and highly recommend her services and products. To top it off, she's super sweet and genuine. read more

Natalie is amazing! So knowledgable in skin care and products. A very personalized approach in a calm and relaxing environment. Very Reasonable pricing for outstanding service and value!! read more

I was in a bit of a bind right before Halloween. I call and Erica was able to fit me in! I have really thick and bushy eyebrows. It usually hurts a lot when I get waxed. Erica was quick and gentle! The end result was amazing and I am glad I was able to find her! No breakouts either which usually happens to me. Erica knows how to make you feel comfortable and fun to talk to! read more

The business is a little hidden away but once you find it, it's an incredibly beautiful and professional establishment. Erica completed my service in a timely fashion while still paying great attention to detail and making me feel extremely comfortable. You can really see how Apotheke takes a lot of time to treat their clients with care, I look forward to coming back! read more

Erica is great. She's precise and gentle and reasonably priced. Plus, she's very friendly and relaxed. My brows look awesome!

Always a pleasure getting a wax with NATALIE!!! She very welcomed and try to make it painless as possible. Well recommended. I have send my grandmother, my mother and my niece to her. They are going to this day read more

This was by far the best waxing experience. I had a session with Erica, the wax temperature was good, clean room, no double dipping. It was so quick, I did Brazilian and underarm. I have been waxing for so many years and I have been to different waxing salons in different cities none compare to how comfortable this experience was and I didn't feel sore afterwards, usually my skin is left sore and super sensitive, not with this wax. I'm definitely going back. read more

Fantastic facial with Erica! The customized version was perfect and she was spot on with all of her recommendations. I always appreciate someone who truly listens and doesn't just try to sell you products you don't need. The location is super convenient and parking is easy. It is quiet and tranquil and you really feel well taken care of. Check them out! read more

What a relief to finally find a beautiful place to have beautiful work done in a professional, yet restful atmosphere. Erica is just amazing, both her level of perfection but also just how delightful she is. Love love her and this place!! read more

Natalie is a skin care genius. She's super knowledgable and down to earth. From the wax to the botanical-based facials, the products used are amazing. My husband commented that my skin was glowing and that I smelled soooo good - thank you oxygen facial. I thought I would miss a big spa experience, but I'm now sold on this little gem! read more

I have been coming here for a few years for my Brazilian wax. I just got my first facial from Natalie and I usually dislike having creams, cleansers and masks on my face but my skin feels and looks amazing, and doesn't feel overwhelmed with product!!! She Listens to her client and customized the facial to what makes you feel comfortable. On top of an amazing experience she's also the coolest person. read more

Erika is absolutely AMAZING!!! She has been doing my brows for years and I recently inquired about starting a facial regimen before my upcoming wedding. Per usual, she offers a free consultation where she meticulously reviews what product you are currently using to make sure you are using the right product for your skincare needs. I showed up to my appointment for my consultation and facial back to back, and she was eager to share with me she had found a solution for my red/flaky skin around my nose that I had been battling for 5 years. She urged me to avoid facials because it would further irritate my skin. Instead, she went above and beyond by spending over an hour with me going through my skincare/makeup products telling me what I should/should not be using. Afterwards, she sent me loads of information about the condition I have, along with skincare and makeup recommendations to cure it. Two months later, my skin has NEVER BEEN BETTER! Erika puts her patient's needs first and instead of gaining an incremental service from a client, she truly cares about her clients. read more

Apotheke is awesome, clean, and professional. Erica is a great esthetician, She is very professional, fast, and talented. Whatever service you are having, she puts you at ease and does an excellent job. Erica really cares about her work and her clients. I would recommend this place to everyone; you won't be disappointed. read more

Erica was amazing. It is not the most fun experience and she made me very calm during this process. It wasn't painful at all. She was by far the best waxer that I have been to. I enjoyed chatting with her while having the service done. The place is super cute, clean, and smells great. I would highly recommend this place for your next wax. read more
