UPDATE: Ronald Aleteanu, one of the owners, reached out to me via comment on here. He said "reach…read moreout directly so it can be resolved at the level it should have been", which is odd, because he was the one that initially sent me the business' refund policy when I asked for a refund and rejected my refund in the first place. It just feels like he is wanting to publicly look like he is addressing the situation properly. I did end up reaching out again today, per his request, and Elena Aleteanu, the other owner, has not changed her stance. She is telling me that they can't do anything on their end and that I need to reach out to Square. Square is telling me that they can't do anything on their end and that the business needs to initiate the refund. So, I reached out to Ronald again directly, and he did not respond. In addition, he got my Google review deleted and is trying to get this one deleted as well, but thankfully Yelp is a lot better about keeping honest reviews. I also forgot to note that the service was booked for two hours total, as a side by side massage. Elena tried to SCAM my sister and her partner by offering each a 1 hour service, one at a time (because of being understaffed), even though it is a two hour service. I paid $400 for the massages, so she's was trying to tell my sister that each service (which included a full massage and facial) of $200 was for one hour only, which is a lie. ORIGINAL POST: AVOID California Skin Care & Day Spa in Newark I prepaid for a service (it was a gift), received a confirmation reminder the day before, and made arrangements for my sister and her partner who are visiting from out of town. I even paid for an Uber to get them there. They arrived on time and the place was closed. No staff, no setup, nothing. They waited about 40 minutes, while I tried calling and messaging every available number. Eventually Ronald Aleteanu, one of the owners, responded on WhatsApp , but that did not change the situation and the service still was not provided. Between the Uber and waiting, this ended up wasting about 2 hours of their time (& money for the Uber), and they left with nothing. After all of that, Elena Aleteanu (who eventually came) claimed she had called and left a message (and at one point claimed that she talked to someone - a complete lie). I never received any call or voicemail, and I confirmed that the number I entered was correct. Their explanation just does not add up, especially since they had no problem sending a reminder the day before. What is most frustrating is that they still refused to issue a refund for a service they never provided. Instead, they only offered store credit, which is completely unreasonable. I would strongly recommend avoiding this place. I also posted this on NextDoor and numerous people replied noting that the same thing happened to them. So this is not an isolated incident. I've posted those screenshots here.

I figured I would book for facial with Jassi and call to let them know I wanted a chemical peel. Day before my appointment, they called and confirmed my appointment and confirmed my chemical peel and I was so excited! I came in the next day extra early just incase there was any forms to fill out but they just asked for my name and let me know they will be with me shortly. Soon after Jassi came and got me and took me to the room and she was so warm and welcoming!! She explained the entire process of the chemical peel and even told me about Diamond Glow which would only enhance my chemical peel and explained that process and benefits as well. After thinking about it ( for about 30 seconds) I decided to add the Diamond Glow to my Chemical peel. I'm so glad I did because it was so relaxing and I could just feel myself falling asleep because Jassi was so gentle and would always make sure I was doing okay. The chemical peel process was as expected, it burned but that had nothing to do with Jassi, she gave me the fan before the process and turned it on the highest setting. Overall, I will be back for another treatment and I'll bring my family with me!

My brows were cleaned up but they had no shape and were thinner than I'd like. This felt like a very basic wax place and I was disappointed with the results. I won't be returning

Christine is an absolute pleasure to work with for facials! I have been getting facials here for…read moreseveral months now ahead of my wedding this year, and I have family who have been coming to Christine's for years. Overall it has been a very positive experience. Her office is a clean, quiet, and soothing environment, and I appreciate that the appointments always start on-time. Christine is easy to communicate with and is fluent in english, mandarin, and cantonese. She is very receptive to feedback, and each facial session is tailored to address any specific concerns (e.g. unexpected acne, calming skin before photoshoot). In addition to the typical facial products (cleanser, serum, moisturizer, mask etc) I appreciate how she makes use of safe and effective skincare technology such as high frequency wands and blue LED light to deliver results. Christine takes her time for each client without rushing, and pays attention to detail. She also gives excellent practical advice about skincare at home. Christine alternates each week between the Newark and Campbell offices, so she is easily accessible no matter where you are in the bay area. My skin complexion has improved greatly over the past few months, and I would highly recommend Christine for facial services!

Wow, I just realized that it's been almost 10 years to the day since my first review!…read more I can honestly say this is the only beauty center I have returned to consistently. Just went last week - Christine is still amazing (especially with the way she gently does extractions, which is no easy feat), the space is still gorgeous and despite rising prices, theirs is still extremely reasonable (highly recommend their offered combination services). What I really appreciate is that the owner ensures the ladies performing the services (they have four working there now - so proud of them!) have access to an ever-evolving line of products, machinery and techniques. Bit of a background on me: I am a woman of color with oily skin and pores on the larger side. Christine's expert services help me keep this at bay, especially what I began going for - microdermabrasion. Cannot recommend their version enough - the new machine they have is both thorough and soothing. Bonus: plenty of parking! The plaza they are in is thoughtfully designed, despite there being quite a few businesses. Second bonus: they are around the corner from the World Gourmet Buffet and a couple of tea shops, so if you are hungry or want to grab boba/Bubble Tea, you can do both!

Nurse Kalee and the front desk staff are incredibly welcoming, professional, and knowledgeable, making me feel comfortable every time. Over the years, 8 years to be exact I've had Botox, hydrafacials and microneedling. All of my experience has been fantastic. The providers take the time to explain each procedure, answer all my questions, and ensure I feel completely at ease. My results have always been amazing. What keeps me coming back is their attention to detail and commitment to client satisfaction. They use top-of-the-line products and technology, and I love that they tailor treatments to my individual needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Also with my complicated work schedule, they always finds a way to work around it so I am very thankful. If you're looking for a high-quality med spa with skilled professionals. I highly recommend Ariba Med Spa. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my skincare and aesthetic needs.

I had my not regular enough facial with her last Friday and when I was actually conscious it dawned on my why I love her so. Her facials are more than just a facial, they're a facassage or facialssage. I fall asleep every time and walk out there relaxed and looking amazing. Promila also has services that you won't find at your typical skincare day spa - shiro dara, candling, and many other Ayurvedic treatments. The Shiro dara experience is one I will never forget. She drizzles warm oil over your forehead (your third eye) and it's so relaxing I ended up falling asleep and dreaming about being on some cliff overlooking the beach. Get thee to Hercules (I know, I know...it's a hike, but well worth the drive).
