Oh my gahhhh!!! I love the facial I had with Jada! She was so kind and worked wonders on my face. The facial glow was real after leaving the spa. I got the eminence organic facial and it felt so refreshing. I was worried about it smelling too floral and Jada assured me that it wasn't at all. It was truly a facial for my senses too! Is it on the pricey side yes, but for someone who has done the cheaper vs pricer massages and facials this was worth it. This spa is not one that has amenities so that's the only thing that lacked for me because other spas would have that for the price. Could it be a few dollars cheaper because of that reason yes. But I'm intrigued to see how other local spas match to the this spot.

Results of one year of consistent diamond glow facials and a co2 lift mask (ok and Botox).

This review is for the 60 min diamond glow treatments with Megan. I got married earlier this year, so I started seeing Megan about one year before the wedding to start prepping my skin. I have dry, sensitive, acne prone skin. I was interested in trying the diamond glow because i didn't see results with previous hydrafacials and my skin is too sensitive to handle chemical peels (or any actives). Megan is amazing. She started me off with a gentle tip and she's gradually been able to get my skin to handle more assertive sessions. My skin is so glowy after, and I see a big improvement with texture. Hard to say if acne improved from the treatments since I also take an oral medication that helps clear my skin, but I love that Megan isn't afraid of extractions. Megan is the one who introduced me to the co2 lift masks that are truly life changing for someone with such dry skin - they heal my eczema patches quickly and I used one the morning of my wedding so I was plump and hydrated. The whole experience is so relaxing and I can feel myself getting anxious when I know we are towards the end of a session because I never want it to end! Megan is so sweet and easy to talk to and never in a rush. Attaching a pic from getting ready for the wedding. My brows are filled in but other than that I just have moisturizer on. Thank you Megan!!

Express Facial GLOW!

Had an amazing Express facial! Perfect when you are on the go and still want to treat yourself!

3 days after Oxygen Facial - still glowing

With all this mask wearing my skin was craving a good facial. It's been awhile, actually so long I forgot how awesome they are. And how madatory they are to get on the regular. When Sanctuary Spa opened backup after COVID restrictions lifted I booked an appointment with Emma. I've heard this is the place to go to in Long Beach! And is sertainly was! Emma was amazing and has the softest hands I've ever felt! The treatment was so relaxing and I have no idea what she used on me but my skin has been glowing for days after. And I sweat a lot. My skin has never felt so smooth and hydrated. She gave me some sample products to test after and helped educate me on what I should be doing to keep my skin looking healthy and young. I'm so unaware of this stuff. She had all the newest technology in the room which was cool, plus it smelt amazing. The spa was so clean. They heat the beds so your nice and cozy. I think I almost fell asleep I was so relaxed. Can't wait to go back and try more of her skin care services. Ask for Emma if your booking an appointment. She is a doll and worth the wait.

### Facial Review: A Truly Rejuvenating Experience with Mindy…read more I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a facial with Mindy, and I cannot recommend her services highly enough! From the moment I arrived, Mindy's warm and welcoming demeanor put me at ease. The atmosphere of her treatment room was serene and calming, which added to the overall experience. Mindy took the time to discuss my skincare needs and preferences, ensuring that the treatment was tailored specifically to me. Her attention to detail is truly impressive. During the facial, Mindy used high-quality products that felt luxurious on my skin. I especially appreciated her expertise in using techniques that not only cleansed my skin but also provided a relaxing massage that melted away the stress of the day. After the treatment, my skin felt incredibly refreshed, hydrated, and glowing. Mindy even provided me with helpful tips for maintaining my skin's health at home, showing her genuine commitment to her clients' wellbeing. If you're looking for a top-notch facial experience, I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Mindy. Her skills and dedication to her craft make her services stand out. I can't wait for my next visit!

The wax technicians are absolutely amazing; they're skilled and make the entire experience as comfortable as possible. In terms of services, I always opt for the playboy bikini wax. I've been waxed by just about every gal in the shop and I would honestly recommend any one of them. The service is relatively quick (about 30 minutes). Time seems to fly by because the conversations are always a high point of the service. The gals at TAOW could teach gynecologists a thing or two about making a girl feel comfortable while being exposed. On top of that, the pricing is affordable, especially considering the high quality of the service. It's rare to find a business that offers both great value and such a personal touch. If you're looking for a waxing spot that truly cares about its clients and delivers outstanding results, this is the place to go! Don't forget to tip your waxer. After all, any service at The Art of Waxing is cheaper than therapy with results of instant gratification!

Waxer was nice, but you could tell she didn't want to be there and that the early morning appointment was an inconvenience to her. Constant yawning and saying it's too early to be here. Lacks professionalism. I left with wax, baby powder, and still portions of my leg with hair on it (like literally missed my whole inner thigh and outer thigh). I walked out of the room and told her I still had wax on me and she just apologized and didn't take me back into the room to remove it. Wax all over the trash bins, floors dirty, and baseboards with who knows what all over. To add onto that, when it was time for me to turn over on my stomach, there was still wax on my leg which ripped the paper lining I was laying on & I could see old blood stains on the cloth under. At that moment, I seriously should have walked out and left. I still left a tip but needs serious improvement as I expected more from a service that has 4.8 stars on Yelp. Avoid if you value cleanliness, etiquette, and overall have high expectations. Will be returning back to my previous waxer.

In other words, she takes her time, knows how your skin grows, and just doesn't just wax you in 3 strips and sends you out the door with a burn (speaking from experience about other unnamed professional wax places, that just wax). Of all those years, I've never had a facial from her and I have to say, it was awesome. Again, she already knows my skin knows what is needed. I left refreshed and she also let me know what I should see and what to do after I left. There are very few people who I trust with my skin and Nat is one of those trusted few. My skin is very sensitive and the product she used didn't irritate my skin or my eczema. The room itself is very welcoming and clean. Overall, I would definitely recommend Natalie for your de-hairing and skin needs. She's located upstairs in a quaint building off PCH and 5th. There's enough parking for the businesses and the spaces are normal size. Despite the busy road and eateries surrounding the location, it's still a calm and peaceful space to relax and just have a great chat with Nat.

I got waxed for the first time with my friend Kiki but she was unavailable because she had to have surgery and I wanted to wait but I couldn't. I tried waxing myself and took some skin off a few months ago... never waxing myself again! I called them and the woman sounded nice and booked me for an early evening spot. I was nannying PLUS I had my son for the week. So taking care of 3 boys was a handful! So thankfully, they worked with my appt and were able to push it back by an hr. The boys came in and waited in the lobby and the girls were patient while I rushed in and got taken care of by Bri. She was so nice and communicative and fast. I got a good deal as a first timer so I tipped her well. Definitely recommend this place and I might be back! Unless I get lasered. Thank you!

I buy the passes because I expect quality service, I came in to get my eyebrows done the other day, not by leslie... big mistake!! I told the waxer i had never seen before repeated times to just clean my brows, and she mentioned back to me "okay just to clean up" which is what I wanted.. often times you leave from a service and think you look fine. Just to realize half of your hair from the top of your eyebrow has been ripped out. Once again, it's not to bash a waxer but just to give the heads up to stick to your normal girl if you have one.. wax passes are pricey and it's disappointing to get shorted with the quality
