Clevenate (does great back and face facial, and scalp facial - so fun!!), and Facial by Kim (she's very OG in offering skin care service that is hydration and acne treatments - love her even if she's a bit critical abt ur skin), and Cure to Dence Skin - they have newcomer promotion, so take advantage of it!! take your money that costs about $100 and are excellent in service and quality. Clevenate and Facial by Kim and CuretoDenceSkin At this place Aura Skin N Beauty I find the facial service on the back was not even the bare minimum. Not really treatment for my back. We talked a lot and I preferred it to be quiet. She gossiped later that all I did was talk about myself. But girl, you kept asking. It left a bad taste in my mouth. Also at the end before it was over she just opened up the towel and exposed my back and she left afterwards for a few minutes. What is the reason to leave product on my skin and the cold air?

I recently got the Diamond Facial at Renew MD, and I honestly loved the experience. From the moment…read moreI walked in, the staff made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. The facial itself was incredibly relaxing yet effective. My skin felt deeply cleansed, smooth, and noticeably brighter right after the session. The diamond exfoliation was gentle but thorough--no irritation at all, just that fresh, glowing skin feeling. What I really appreciated was how knowledgeable and attentive the provider was. They explained each step, customized the treatment based on my skin, and made sure I was comfortable throughout. If you're looking for a facial that gives instant glow, improves texture, and still feels luxurious and calming, I highly recommend the Diamond Facial at Renew MD. I'll definitely be back!

Every product they have recommended has worked shockingly well for my skin. I was skeptical about it all at first but that has been proven otherwise. I've gone through a complete transformation and I was once one of those people who used Nivea and a soap bar for my face. It worked while it did but after 30, not so much. I looked in the mirror and my face was so dry and my budding cracks so... prominent? Obviously no longer good enough. I did research on many places in the east bay and chose here because of its boutique-like charm and upfront prices. I wanted a personalized experience and that's exactly what these ladies delivered! My goal was to preventively restore the skin under my chin to delay my growing jowls and smile lines. Since joining RenewMDs Beauty Society, I have had Ultherapy on my lower face/neck, 4 months of Trizep, Potenza and Picosure, and a lot of Skin by Dr Sethi! I actually look better now than before I had my son having lost the extra lbs and taking more care of my skin. I get stares in public and complements again my coworkers ask me for my beauty "secrets" (lol no secrets). My husband is handsier too! All this was by no means painless - beauty is pain! And expensive! But if you are looking for a transformation/ restoration project like I was, this is the place to achieve that! Thank you Dr Sethi, Ruby, Syenna, Stephanie, and Ms Joy

From the moment I stepped into the cozy and inviting space, I was greeted by Jasmine and I felt welcomed and at ease. Jasmine was extremely professional, and her passion for skincare truly shines through in every aspect of her work. She took the time to attentively listen to my specific skin concerns and preferences, ensuring that she could tailor the facial to suit my individual needs perfectly. Throughout the session, I was amazed at how informative and knowledgeable the owner was. She not only explained each step of the facial process but also provided valuable insights into how to care for my skin properly at home. Her expertise was evident, and I felt confident in her hands throughout the entire session. The attention and care I received during the facial were unparalleled. Jasmine's delicate touch and meticulous approach left my skin feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and glowing. I could see and feel the difference immediately, and I couldn't be happier! BTW: try the gold mask! It's weird at first but you get used to it and it's SO relaxing. I highly recommend Jasmine and LYS to anyone seeking a top-notch facial experience. I will undoubtedly be returning for future treatments, I already booked my next appointment and I am already looking forward to it! Wish I could go in every day if I could!!! If you're looking for a remarkable facial experience that goes above and beyond, don't hesitate to visit this small business. Trust me, your skin will thank you! Five stars just don't seem enough to express my satisfaction and gratitude for the outstanding service I received. Thank you, Jasmine!!!

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 don't do much reviews but Ariba Med Spa deserves it so here it is…read more I have been a loyal client of Ariba Med Spa for years, and they never fail to exceed my expectations! 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.

Extremely Disappointed - Poor Service, Lack of Accountability, and Questionable Practices…read moreI'm not usually one to leave negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share my recent experience with Arrive Med Spa. I've been receiving Botox for years and typically need only 30-35 units for my face (forehead, eyes, etc.). I had 79 units banked at Arrive, and because they're closing for renovations in December, I was strongly encouraged to use all remaining units in one visit -- even though I expressed that I never need that much. Trusting their expertise, I went along with their recommendation. To my disappointment, all 79 units were injected, yet entire areas were completely missed, including the right side of my forehead and part of the left. The result was lopsided and underwhelming -- I still had visible forehead movement, which should not have been the case with that dosage. When I returned to have their mistake corrected, I was told I had to pay for half of the additional units needed to fix it. I ended up paying nearly $1,000 total -- for something that usually costs me $300-$400 -- and still had to cover part of the correction for an error I did not cause. I pleaded my case to Jackie, hoping for some accountability, but she wasn't convinced they had done anything wrong. I was told management reviewed it and stood by the decision that I should still pay for part of the follow-up. What's more concerning is that, unlike most reputable med spas, Arrive rarely shows you the product being used before injection. You never see the vial or how it's being prepared. At other places I've been, they always show the Botox label and draw it up in front of you -- a simple but important step that builds trust. At Arrive, that transparency is missing, and it left me wondering whether I even received authentic Botox. I trusted this business with my care and feel completely let down -- not just by the poor administration of the Botox, but by the lack of transparency and unwillingness to take responsibility for a clear mistake. I deeply regret pre-purchasing units, and I highly doubt I will return. I wouldn't recommend this place based on my experience. Be cautious. Ask to see the product. Question recommendations that deviate from your norm. And don't assume that pre-purchasing units guarantees a good experience -- in my case, it cost me more in money, trust, and time.

The $99 special came with cleaning, extraction, head/shoulder/neck massage, and more. The hour went by fast and wished it lasted longer. My specialist recommended I upgrade to something that has more moisturizer techniques since my face was a little dry, for $139. I passed and would probably come back next time to try it. Jessie made sure I didn't feel pain and checked in on me throughout the process to make sure I was okay. My face felt so smooth and clean afterwards. My favorite part was the cleaning of the dead skin with the suction. It helped my face feel smooth. Jessie recommended I put on more M3 and B5 serum on my face, which she did during the session. Now I'll be doing research onto products that would help my face! My only feedback is have a wedge pillow to put under the legs. My back started hurting after awhile.
