Not only does she have the knowledge , but the abundance of detail she curates, face framing and color placement I know you'll love your hair. Jarae is one of the best in the industry. From her years in LA, to back to the central coast. Ladies. She is top notch and worth booking! Also looking for gentle touch of facials treatments? She's fabulous. And have great technique and fluidity. I can't wait for my next service. I usually get my hair colored and trimmed. It's the best spa day I can book! read more

My wife has had many spa treatments over the years and often come back disappointed, but today was not one of those days! She had a wonderful treatment with Shakti, a masseuse who, she said, had wonderful hands, an intuitive sense of where to focus and a very kind manner. She recommends Shakti 100%, and trust me, that is a high bar to achieve. Signature would have gotten a five star rating if it had showers on site, but for a treatment like Shakti gives, it's a sacrifice worth making. read more

An adjustment to my Oct. 14th review: I've just heard back from Signature letting me know that Carmel-By-The-Sea does not allow them to have showers. So given how hard it is to fight city hall, I'm adding that fifth star, and maybe I'll start petitioning the powers that to allow this wonderful place to have showers. read more

Lovely little spa and the perfect sanctuary for your wellness. They have a long list of massage and treatments (see their website) but seems like massages and facials are their thing. My therapist was the famous Shatki and all the reviews did not exaggerate her magical touch. She was both strong and soft with her pressure, and knew exactly where I needed what. I combined a massage with reiki (my first time) and it was wonderful. I don't know what reiki is or supposed to do because I've heard different results for everyone so I can't speak to that part of my session. I left feeling rejuvenated! read more

It's always nice to find an esthetician who combines great technique with a genuinely relaxing experience. That's how I felt with Tamara at Signature Day Spa. I recently had a HydraFacial here and it was an excellent experience. From the start, Tamara was very thorough and professional. She asked thoughtful questions about my skin and explained the treatment so I knew what to expect. What stood out to me most was her technique and attention to detail. The exfoliation and extraction steps were done carefully and effectively, and she made sure my skin stayed comfortable throughout the entire treatment. My skin looked noticeably brighter and smoother right afterward, and it felt incredibly hydrated without any redness or irritation. You can tell she really cares about doing treatments properly and making sure clients get great results. The space itself was clean, relaxing, and very well run. Overall it felt like a high-quality service from someone who clearly takes pride in her work. I would absolutely recommend booking with her. read more

Signature Day Spa - Post-hydrafacial with Esthetician Tamara - Massage Therapy Near Me - Carmel, California

Had an incredible massage with Tanya and a hydrafacial with Tonya - one of the best massages I've ever gotten in my life and my skin is absolutely glowing even several days later, I feel great with no makeup on. This place is such a gem!! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a treatment in Carmel. read more

Booked a last minute prenatal massage at Signature Day Spa. It was very easy to call them to set up an appointment. You can go with the given time periods on their website (60, 90 min etc) but they can easily customize a session for you. Upon arrival, they offered water to you in the lobby. My masseuse brought me to a room and checked my belly size and asked if I had any physical sensitivities or areas to avoid massaging. She adjusted the pillow on the table to make sure I was comfortable. I went with a 60 minute massage and it was so relaxing! I also work at an office job and had her focus more on my upper back and shoulders. I definitely got a lot of knots out and my pregnancy aches eased up. This was a little splurge but it was worth the treat while I was baby mooning in the area. read more

Went to Signature Day Spa twice for a root touch up and was charged $150.00 for each appointment. It was a higher than neighboring salons but had open slots. I booked a 3rd appointment and was charged $180.00. I asked why I was charged $30.00 more than the previous appointment just 3 weeks prior? They said they increased their prices! Ridiculous pricing. read more

I treated myself to a Premium Vitamin C Facial and a Swedish Message with Body Scrub. Both were exceptional thanks to Shakti's extraordinary talents! Also above and beyond my expectations was Cameron's not just recommending, but actually calling a very popular Carmel restaurant to help us make dinner reservations that night! May I give ten stars please?! read more

My husband and I decided to drive to Carmel which is about an hour and a half drive to enjoy the day starting with massages then lunch and some retail therapy. From the moment we checked into the spa Tonya and her staff was warm, welcoming, professional and genuinely focused on providing an exceptional experience. The atmosphere was relaxing and the facility was spotless. My massage was exceptional and the hot stone therapy combination was the absolute best. The long drive was so worth it and I will definitely be returning very soon. If your looking for a top notch spa in the Carmel area I highly recommend this spa read more

Recently visited in celebration of my boyfriend's birthday. Unfortunately we were both left feeling dissatisfied with our experiences. I communicated with Tonya for booking and decided on the 90 minute premium couples massage, and Tonya noted ten minutes would be designated for scalp massage (since the moisturizing scalp massage was unable to be booked separately). This package notes the options to choose between vanilla coconut shea oil or Moroccan oil. I specifically chose this package for the Moroccan oil, to make the experience more luxurious for my boyfriend. When we spoke with our massage therapists I wanted to confirm the selected oil, the therapists then notified us that there are no such oils available and they use a standard vegan lotion for all massages. This immediately was disheartening and felt like false advertisement. Unfortunately, the massages themselves were also disappointing. Both of us felt our respective therapists did not dedicate time to the spots we requested, we both felt they carelessly massaged our legs / feet (barely using pressure), and they did not provide the 10 minute scalp massage (which is the only reason I selected the 90 minute massage as opposed to 80 minutes, because Tonya convinced me this was a good alternative). I do get bi-weekly massages so I am accustomed to what the experience SHOULD have been like. Sadly this was very disappointing and I would not return nor recommend. EDITED AFTER OWNER RESPONSE: Tonya, this is false advertising. Your website clearly states the oil options under the premium couples massage package. It is disappointing you are attempting to gaslight me and skew the situation. read more

I happened to be staying at La Playa Hotel and walked in on a whim. The spa itself is calm, beautiful, and inviting. I browsed around looking at what brands they carry and looking for hair clips because my bangs were curling in the rain. The lady at check in was super nice and had the perfect little clip. If this is how they treat someone walking in off the street, I can only imagine how great an actual service would be. I'll absolutely be back. read more

I've trusted Jarae with my curls for years.She does such a wonderful job working with my hair and recommending what works best for my curl pattern. She offers suggestions with her years of experience tohelp keep true to my idea/goal. She uses only the best products with clean and safe ingredients. I love the refreshments and inviting atmosphere. Cuts with her always feel like a treat. I often recommend others to her due to her soft touch and since she has such an extensive portfolio! read more

My friends and I had a terrible experience here. We booked foot massages, received foot massages, and then were charged for 70-minute deep tissue massages we never requested. When we questioned the bill, the gentleman at the counter was condescending and dismissive. We were also charged a "group rate" even though we were in separate rooms with different masseuses, which made no sense to us. On top of that, they automatically added a 20% gratuity simply because it was labeled a group rate. The ladies ahead of us were told they had to pay a 20% gratuity because they booked more than one treatment. From what we witnessed, it seems like they tack on a 20% gratuity no matter what you book, without being upfront about it. The masseuses were sweet and did a good job, but I don't think any of us would've paid a 20% gratuity generally The friend who was treating us felt overwhelmed and pressured, so she put the whole charge on her card -- and the total came to $792 for four foot massages. When she later called the owner to clarify the situation, the owner was rude, combative, and offered no apology or accountability. This was our experience, and we strongly suggest avoiding this place. Run to Happy Feet Day Spa instead -- they treat customers with respect and offer fair prices. read more

I booked the 110 minute hot stone massage with Tyana. It was transcendent. I was initially rubbed down with powerful hands in a basic shiatsu style massage. Then the magic of hot oiled rocks was skillfully applied to my body!!! If you've never had it done, please do so, you will not regret it. Very relaxing. The environment was peaceful and clean. Also, Cameron the owners son, helped us by securing a dinner reservation at a very trendy restaurant. Which we loved! read more

I have been here twice in a month. My mother joined me on my last visit and the service was top tier. Everyone is so nice and welcoming and our massages were INCREDIBLE. Will keep coming back for sure. read more

I am soooo happy to hear Tamara is now at Signature Day Spa!! She was amazing with my Hydrafacials at a different spa. I always felt like I had the best results with her. I highly recommend asking for her if you book a hydrafacial. She's the best! read more

Let me start by saying that this was in the top three massages I've EVER had and I've had ALOT. April was unbelievably fantastic! She's the best in the business. I can't wait to visit Carmel again just so I can see her! read more

Hands down the best spa you could ever go too! All of the staff were so welcoming, friendly, and helpful. They did an amazing job with a massage I got, I felt like I had a brand new body afterwards. I definitely recommend this spa to those who are looking for a calming and soothing healing. I went again recently and the service was just as good as last time. Both the staff and treatments were consistent in quality and service! read more

If I could give zero stars, I would, this place doesn't answer the phone, texts with you and schedules massages and then when you show up some other person is working at the front desk and says that you're not on the schedule. There's a woman named Tonya, who should be held accountable for losing business for this place and honestly if you're traveling to Carmel, stay away from here! read more

Amazing experience with Jarae. Years of experience and very caring. Will continue getting my haircuts from the best hair stylist on the Monterey peninsula! read more

April is just the most amazing massage therapist!!! I can't say enough good things about her. I go to her regularly and wish I could go see her more. And then the Himalayan salt room is amazing. It is so relaxing and I can feel the salts doing their job in my lungs with the lingering cold I've had. I can't wait to go again soon!! read more

Krystyne is an amazing stylist!! I have been a client of hers for over 3 years now and I never leave disappointed. Had another appointment today -my color looks fabulous and I walked out with another stylish cut. She takes her time and also explains the products she uses. I know it's great service when after several weeks, my hair is still so soft, color is good and the style looks great after I blow dry it. Love the new location in Carmel Plaza and the new "lounge" shampoo chair is fantastic....so relaxing. read more

So excited to book with Jarae again! Jarae has been doing my hair for years, and I will continue to make the drive to her every time! She has great energy that is calm and a gentle touch to match. I walk away with the best hair! I feel lighter because of the length she takes off, but also in spirit from the relaxing scalp massage and luxurious shampoos and styling products used. You will NOT regret booking with Jarae! read more

Just floated away from my 70 minute Yume head and scalp treatment. Should have gone with the 90. Why did I think saving a few dollars would be a good idea when I didn't want it to end? Christina was fantastic! Think of this like a facial for your scalp. My hair feels so silky and luxurious. I have volume without any product. My scalp is clean and detoxified. We take care of our face, why wouldn't we take care of our scalps too? read more

*GLOWING SKIN - GLOWING REVIEW* I try to get facials at least twice a year if not more. Not necessarily enough but works for me. As someone who's been blessed to have pretty clear skin, it's been particularly aggravating to have been dealing with adult acne for the past 5+ months. HydraFacials seemingly popped up on my radar out of nowhere around the same time I began experiencing acne issues. After a bit of research I decided it was something I wanted to try out, however, am always a bit skeptical about "the next best thing". A HydraFacial seemed to be what I needed, but, on top of being skeptical about actual results, I was hesitant to have the service completed at a larger spa or chain spa bc I just didn't feel like I'd get the same results as I may with someone who owned their own shop and had a little more rapport with their clients. Well, after months of breakout after breakout, my face is just starting to clear up but now I have dark spots and hyperpigmentation to deal with on top of the residual acne (if there's such a thing). I finally decided to pull the trigger and just give it a try. ANYTIME I'm looking for something, whether it's a service or a restaurant, Yelp is my go to. The Signature Day Spa came up towards the top when I searched for "HydraFacials" in my area and after reading the reviews I was basically sold - plus, it's in Carmel-By-The-Sea, who doesn't love it here?! So, I followed up my Yelp search with a Google search and the reviews matched what I saw on Yelp. After checking out the website I called and was able to get an appointment the next day (today) and I was hoping that I would get scheduled with Tonya bc all the reviewers kept commenting on how awesome she was...I later realized she's the owner. It's a quaint and cozy location with a very warm and inviting ambiance. Be sure to accept the complimentary glass of wine . My visit was great! It's typically readily apparent if someone "knows their stuff" or not and Tonya knows her stuff! Tonya even helped me to pinpoint the cause of my breakout - something that had been driving me crazy as I couldn't explain why I'd gone from clear skin to this speckled mess! She's got a very vibrant personality and you can tell she has a genuine passion and love for her line of work (to which she will tell you the same)! All in all a top notch visit. On top of breaking out, my skin has been dry and dull. She will tell you that over the next 24 hours, the results will become even more apparent which seems a bit counterintuitive at first but it's true! When I walked out my skin felt better and had a glow to it. About an hour later, as I was walking back to my car I stopped from my reflection because of how radiant my skin looked - after only one treatment! I booked a second appointment before I left and only wish I could clone her and bring her spa with me when I move! read more

Wow! My grown kids gave me a gift certificate for a treatment and when I called to schedule I was told that there was no proof via order # and therefore they wouldn't honor it. My daughter sent a screenshot of her credit card charge and the owner (Tanya) said there was no way to prove that it was valid! We were repeat clients, btw, and live locally. The charge was for $318. Tanya wanted me to know that they service over 30,000 clients a year which seems a bit exaggerated (82 people a day 365 days a year? in this town?) and that they don't need to deal with me. I was pretty shocked that they didn't offer any sort of solution, but even MORE shocked when I got on this website and saw that there were numerous complaints from other clients about the EXACT SAME THING! So apparently this place is taking money from people and then denying them service. Just avoid it at all costs. read more

Booked a spur of the moment deep tissue with Jose before some travel. I experienced a recent injury & I left feeling genuinely so well cared for. The massage was excellent, highly recommend gifting yourself the experience! read more

I was recovering from a surprise surgery and was referred to signature day spa by our hotel and was so happy that I was. I was able to receive the most relaxing facial and foot/hand massage from Christine. It really made my day. I felt so comfortable and relaxed after. It was just what I needed. read more

Denise and Jose did our couples massage and fully deserve 5/5 stars! They were very welcoming and kind. My husband also struggles to find someone that can actually do a deep massage- and Jose was the man! The massages themselves were amazing. In regards to overall experience, it was okay. The room itself needs some updating inside and the radio that was playing the ocean waves/calming music kept going on and off during our massage which was weird. There wasn't much for amenities, it was just the massage really. But Denise and Jose were awesome-props to them. read more

Just had a massage by José and it was FANTASTIC!!! Highly recommend him as your massage therapist. Thank you José & thank you SDS for the great facility. Looking forward to seeing the new space! read more

I recently visited Signature Day Spa for their hair services and left very impressed with the experience! Krystyn was personable, knowledgeable, and professional! I've been to several day spas in the area and this one hands down the best. You won't be disappointed by Tonya and her team! read more

I've been seeing Tonya at Signature Day Spa for about five years and she is truly the best. I can't say enough good things. I love her! She's warm, accommodating and genuinely just one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. Every visit I'm treated like royalty. My facials are personalized and relaxing and she never fails to go above and beyond to make sure I'm comfortable and well taken care of. I feel like family every time I visit. There's a reason I make the two hour drive from the SF Bay. Tonya is a gem--I don't trust anyone else! Not to mention, she is an expert!! In every sense. And her passion shows through. The entire staff honestly deserves praise for their professionalism and kindness and I have to give a special shout-out to Jose for his incredible massages. His hands are magic and he generally has wonderful energy. I always feel very comfortable. Signature Day Spa is my go-to for a reason: great people, great energy, always amazing service. Can't recommend enough! read more

Wow! What a great experience of a 90 minute deep tissue massage from Denise. Talk about magic fingers! From the warm, inviting atmosphere to great professionalism...I definitely recommend a trip, or two, or more! read more

Absolutely unprofessional and extremely rude! We tried booking an appointment and was almost bullied into booking a massage. Needing our credit card number right away because 2 spots were open and they had a bad phone connection we are on vacation an are 4 minutes from the spa and it's not storming. Do not go!!! read more
