I've been going to Monarch Cosmetics MD in Granite Bay for many years, and I've always had a…read morewonderful experience. The entire team is warm, professional, and welcoming. The front desk staff, the assistants, and especially Patty, RN, are all amazing. Over the years, I've had several treatments done, including laser treatments for acne and acne scars, laser hair removal, scar treatments, facials, and Botox. Every experience has been great. Patty is incredibly knowledgeable and always knows exactly what I need to achieve the results I want. I trust her completely and always feel like I'm in the best hands. I highly recommend Monarch Cosmetics MD to anyone looking for experienced providers, excellent service, and consistently beautiful results.

Stephanie gave me a wonderful facial and also taught me so much about my face. She answered every question I have and gave me the best product recommendations and tips for things I should change at home. I will forever go to her. Penny had hands from Heaven and her massage had me feeling extremely relaxed. She stretched me while massaging and her technique was unlike anyone else. I will recommend everyone to this spa!!!

Dolce Vita Luxury Day Spa was easy to find and practically surrounded by a beautiful Granite Bay…read moreneighborhood. When my daughter and I walked in, we noticed a beach scene painted on the walls. We sat on the couch while the receptionist finished a transaction with another customer. After a few minutes, we were called back and shown the changing room. We were able to change and safely store our clothes and purses in lockers that only we had the key to. We were given clean robes and slippers, then directed to the relaxation room to wait for our couples "Perfect Time Out for 2" spa package in a private suite. The package includes either a 30-minute aromatherapy sauna or a 30-minute hydrotherapy bath, followed by a 60-minute combination massage. The combination massage uses both light and medium pressure and is meant to ease muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote lasting relaxation. We only sat in the relaxation room for a few moments before our massage therapists told us that our private suite was ready. When we walked in, the room was dark and lit with battery-operated candles. It smelled wonderful, and soothing music was playing. There was also a television mounted in the corner, which I didn't feel was necessary in such a relaxing environment. We began with the hydrotherapy bath. The bath normally includes almond oil, but because one of us has a mild almond allergy, they substituted bath salts and other wonderfully scented oils instead. The tub had jets that we could turn on, and it was very relaxing. After 30 minutes, our massage therapists let us know it was time to move to the tables for our 60-minute massages. We got down to our birthday suits and slipped underneath the sheets. Penny was my massage therapist, and my daughter had Remni. Penny did massage my entire body, but it felt more like she was rubbing my skin rather than working the muscles underneath. Honestly, I have had better 30-minute massages at the mall and during pedicures. However, I did appreciate the stretches and the relaxing oil rubdown.... sort of. I really wanted my muscles to be rubbed, but we never got there. My daughter, on the other hand, said her massage was amazing. Ugh--that's what I wanted! I'm glad she enjoyed herself. She said she would definitely go back. I would consider returning too, but I would want a different massage therapist next time. Throughout our visit, we were offered complimentary beverages. After our massages, we sat in the relaxation room, where I enjoyed a glass of red wine. Once I finished, we returned to the changing room. There was also a shower available if we wanted to rinse off before getting dressed. My daughter and I changed and headed to the front to take care of the bill. I was able to use a gift card given to me by someone I used to know, so thanks, buddy! Overall, the private suite and hydrotherapy bath were relaxing, the atmosphere was soothing, and my daughter absolutely loved her massage. My experience was a little more mixed, but I would still be open to returning and trying someone else. I felt like the massage part of the package was a very important part, and it unfortunately fell short, so I did let the front desk know. And please, don't forget to tip!

This review is for the DaVinci Whitening service performed by their esthetician, April…read more Initially planned on a long detailed review, but decided to keep it brief and to the point. Feel free to reach out for an in depth review. Regret coming here. It was an obvious red flag when the esthetician wasn't able to answer most of my questions, specifically basic post procedure questions. Also refused to answer some questions twice, as though asking a question more than once was deemed unacceptable and non-billable. Said they only used "natural" products, and DO NOT use hydrogen peroxide, claiming "hydrogen peroxide isn't natural," but that is in fact the product they used. Lots of conflicting and contradictory information was provided. The esthetician seemed rushed and impatient. Applied the product so quickly and inadequately with her hair flopping around my mouth. Did not have good results. In fact, resulted in severe chemical damage due to lack of adequate gum protection applied. The before and after photos confirm chemical damage and gum recession. Save your teeth. DO NOT COME HERE. It's a business that's purely focused on making money. Their clinical practice questions their moral character.

I don't even know where to begin I have so many good things to say about Blake Charles Salon and…read morethe amazing stylists there. I started getting my hair done by both Melea and Victoria when the salon first reopened with a new owner and new name several years ago. Melea and Victoria are both amazing and helped me transform my hair from extremely damaged, thin, and ugly (from 20+ years of using supermarket boxed dye and using too high of heat on my blow dryer with no thermal protection) into beautiful, healthy hair that I absolutely love. I love how my hair feels now and am no longer embarrassed by how my hair looks. I am 43 and I thought that the changes I was seeing in my hair were caused by getting older, but they have shown me that my hair can still be as healthy as it was when I was in my 20s. I really look forward to getting my hair done and wouldn't think of going anywhere else. Thank you so much Melea and Victoria! They also have very high quality hair/skin products at several different price points that are great. I've tried the Iles Formula and liked it quite a bit. Then I fell in love with the Oribe products they carry and have been using that for a couple years. My husband started complaining about how much Oribe products are (they are expensive but worth every penny!) so I tried a new line they brought in called "VoCe" that is at a much lower price point and LOVE it. The stylists there know all the products very well and really help you find the product(s) that work best for you. I don't feel any kind of pressure to buy while browsing their products, yet someone is always there to answer any questions I may have. I have gotten to know some of the other stylists at the salon (Vika, Yelena and Korinne) as well as the esthetician (Lisa) and they are all very friendly, helpful and professional. While I have never had my hair (or facial) done by them, I would not hesitate to go to them if Melea or Victoria were not available. The salon itself is beyond gorgeous and always very clean. I've never had any kind of problem finding parking right by the salon and love to walk across the parking lot to Starbuck's to grab something to drink if I show up a little early. This is such a great salon and I am so glad I found it! Highly recommended!

I met Lisa at my first appointment for a facial treatment on 06/15/2018, my 28th birthday. A…read morefacial treatment was a glorious "happy birthday" gift and the rest is history. When I stated seeing Lisa I was using an acne specific cosmetic line, using 2 types of prescribed topical gels, and trying whatever magic potion or serum I could to get the painful bumps to go away. I would rarely be caught without makeup in public, constantly covering up painful blemishes, redness, and hyperpigmentation. *insert Lisa* I have confidence in my skin again! After a few treatments, listening to her recommendations for skincare and cosmetic option, and minimizing the consumption of inflammatory foods/beverages, I have lovely skin. I am no longer on any prescriptions to curb my painful acne or oil production and I have learned so much. Find yourself a great esthetics professional and find your confidence again! PICTURE: The before is WITH makeup trying to cover up the painful acne but quite unsuccessfully because you can still see the roughness of my skin and the breakouts on my forehead. The after is WITHOUT makeup and you can see smooth skin, a luminescence, and no breakouts.

I decided 55 years old was going to be my glow up and it started with a visit to Dr Lee. I'd never…read moredone any injections so I really wasn't sure where to start. He studied my face and recommended 1 syringe in my lips and 1 in each nasolabial fold. I'm so glad I did it! My deflated lips looked fuller and less sad-frowny-face, and my nasolabial folds were filled in making me look less droopy. He did all of this with significant impact but looked natural. People at work noticed right away and loved my outcome so much, they decided to go get injections for themselves. The cost was $850 total for the lips (1 syringe) and $1900 total for the nasolabial folds (2 syringes). He uses a different formula for the two areas which is the reason for the price per syringe difference. I had all of this done 16 months ago and things are still looking great. No migration no deflation, no lumps. I did have the normal swelling and bruising at first, but that all resolved in 2 weeks. Money well spent and I would do it all over again!

I've had these injections for 10 years and I know how the results should look, and some of Dr. Lees injections had desirable results others not so much. Dr. Lee said maybe I need a higher dose. I'm not an expert on the dosing but I can say that recently I had the same dose at a different clinic and the results are noticeably better even two months later.

Dr. Yamayata did an amazing job removing almost 20 pounds of loose skin from my abdomen. Before surgery I was wearing a size 12 in jeans, and now eight months later wearing size 4.

I've gained so much confidence I feel like a completely different woman. His team is outstanding and makes you feel comfortable every step of the way. I highly recommend him to anyone considering surgery.
