Vanessa is wonderful! She is gentle and skilled. I feel pampered and my skin feels and looks amazing. In addition to being knowledgeable she has an incredible touch that takes the normal facial experience to another level. read more

The experience: I've been to Skin Diversity twice now, and both times have left me with that overwhelming sense of "yep, I picked the right place". I had never had a Brazilian Wax and was quite nervous about the whole experience. I mean wax, down there? I just knew I'd cry. But I didn't. In fact, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, thanks to Vanessa. I told her it was my first time and she walked me through the whole process, step by step always letting me know what was going on before proceeding. It was great, I didn't feel anxious or rushed at all. I was super pleased with the results, and honestly the second one was even easier than the first! You really end up just chatting through your session to the point of almost not noticing the wax coming off. Plus they use a hard wax which doesn't require strips, and therefore doesn't pull your skin, just the hair. Huge plus!! The rest: In terms of decor, they've got a chic boutique feel going on. Everything is super clean and nicely lit. There are little samples in the waiting area if you are curious about some of their scrubs. It's very easy to make appointments, and I love that I get confirmations for booking in a text and email. Can't wait to try the other services! read more

I came here twice for Brazilian waxes and was very pleased both times. The woman who waxed me was easy to talk to and thorough. I believe they use a cold wax on the more sensitive areas, so the worst part goes by quickly and less painfully. The process seemed to hurt less and go by faster the second time. Both times left me with super-smooth results and minimal ingrown hairs. There was always a place to park and the building was very clean, quiet, and soothing. After getting such a good wax I could finally wear those super-tiny bikinis without any fear or a stray hair or shaving irritation! read more

I made an appointment here for a wax because it's within walking distance and the place has 5 stars. The girl on the phone sounded really nice and super sweet. I get to the place for my appointment, the girl that does waxing wasn't there yet. Another girl wrote down her phone number so I could text her to see where she was. Um, what? The place was hotter inside than it was outside. I waited 15 minutes, then just left. read more

hands down, BEST day spa in Long Beach! it's tastefully decorated, quiet (even for being on Pine!), comfortable, relaxing, and the massages are BLISSFUL! I can't remember the name of the gal who I get massages from there. I think it might be Makeda based on other reviews? anyway, I picked up an Amazon Local deal for 3 massages, and LOVED her SO MUCH! so when the same deal popped up again, I jumped on it! Unfortunately, my budget doesn't allow for me to pay full price here :( but if it did, I'd be here at least once a month! I LOVE THIS PLACE! it's super lux! and Makeda is SUPERB! Super professional, always warm and welcoming, and gives a REALLY wonderful massage. I ALWAYS leave completely relaxed, wishing I could have stayed for longer, and longing for my next visit. read more

Came here for my 1st facial at the age of 30 (shame on me) a few days ago and I will definitely be back. I bought a Groupon deal for a microdermabrasion and mini facial and I am so glad I did. My skin needs alot of work and she was up for the task. She was very gentle and let me know step by step what she was doing next. I was talked to about over exfoliating and using useless products and now I don't use to much of anything. I am leaving my skin in her hands from now on. It's been about 4 days and I haven't had any new breakouts and my skin is way less oily which I just can't believe. Usually it looks like I dipped my face in oil lol. Definitely recommend. read more

Skin Diversity - Clean, tranquil and neat - Day Spas Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

Came across Skin Diversity Day Spa. The only true spa in downtown Long Beach. The owner, Vanessa was very gracious to give us a tour. My partner and I booked two services, a massage for her and a facial for me. Kathleen's massage was great. The masseuse , Sally, did a fantastic job getting out all of the knots and leaving fully rejuvenated. My facial was fantastic!!! No up selling. ( I hate that). I left feeling relaxed and looking 20 years younger.( according to Kathleen) We will be back. I give them 5 Stars because they earned it. Great job ladies!!!! read more

Vanessa is awesome!!! Went in for a Brazilian super scared because they always hurt. First time trying her place and absolutely loved it. It hurt a tiny bit, but totally worth the little pain. She talks to you throughout the procedure and makes you feel really comfortable. I will definitely be returning and would recommend you do too. read more

I bought a living social deal for two bikini waxes and am so glad that I did because the methods that the owner uses to do the waxing are non-conventional and much better than a traditional wax strip method. She is so easy to talk to and makes you feel at ease during the treatment (which took about 45 minutes in total.) The best perks are the sounds of trickling water that percolates throughout the entire space, alkaline water in clear goblets offered at the door, and the free 2-hour parking a mere block away. I love this little gem! read more

Had an amazing facial! Peaceful, relaxing and my skin is glowing. I love the skincare products, I will definately return. read more

I've been coming to her for 3 years now and Vanessa is the absolute best! I can't say enough about her but she's incredible and so great. Especially perfect if it's your first time!! read more

I've been going to Vanessa since I wrote this review! Wow! Has it been over two years already? Vanessa is awesome and always uses the best products for your skin! read more

THE best spa I've been too in Long Beach. Everyone is nice and the atmosphere is clean And pleasant. But the biggest review I can give the Amazing work they do here! Seriously ! I already booked 2 additional appointment because of the professionalism and great job Vanessa did. read more

Vanessa is such a sweetheart. I had been going to another place for waxing and was looking for a place closer to home. So glad I found her. She is very personable, gentle, and did a very thorough job! read more

The Hot Tamale body wrap is amazing. It starts out warm and cozy and then gets perfectly Hot. I am fairly toned but have that stubborn layer of fat that likes to collect between my skin and muscle. This treatment sweats it off and brakes it down. I can see the difference after just one treatment! I'm going back for more before I hit the beach or pool this summer. Very pretty space, nice girls, this is my new favorite day spa. Thank you Skin Diversity for coming downtown. read more

I love this place!! The ladies are all so awesome!! I regularly visit for all sorts if spa treatments! I would highly recommend this spa :) read more

I first came to Skin Diversity Day Spa back in June thanks to a Living Social voucher for a Brazilian Wax. It was my first one so I was really nervous, but Vanessa made it such a comfortable and (nearly) painless experience both of the times I went to her! I recently decided to try somewhere new for a Brazilian because I live in Orange County and the drive to LB is inconvenient and I seriously regret it. After my recent experience, I know that Vanessa is the only one I will be allowing to wax down there from now on. I also had Tracois do a brow shaping for me. She was so nice and explained what she was doing the entire time and my brows looked amazing! I highly recommend Skin Diversity to everyone! Clean, professional, and comfortable. My only wish is that they were open later and/or did waxing on Saturdays! read more

I've been going to Vanessa for almost 4 years I think. She's awesome and accommodates to my schedule especially with my dad being in the hospital.. I love how she is very flexible. I found her through Groupon a few years ago and been going to her since then. I've tried European Wax Center for my waxing needs and honestly even though their closer to where I live id rather still go to Vanessa because her work. read more

I was looking to get a Brazilian Wax on yelp and Skin Diversity was not only close to my current location but also had great reviews. I texted the number and was able to make an appointment when I was available. When I arrived I was a little lost because Skin Diversity is located inside of Sheer Maddness. Other than that, her location is clean and comfortable. Vanessa was very nice and made my experience wonderful! Brazilian Waxes hurt overall but Vanessa understands your pain tolerance and tries to do her best to get you in and out quick! read more

This review is a litte bit overdue:) First time brazilian wax and boy was I nervouse, but the experience was not as painful as I thought it would be. The lady who did my waxing was very professional and least to say, she made me feel comfortable despite it being my first time. In the end I loved my results and the service that was given to me! Can't wait to go again soon! I totally recommend this place!! read more

Skin Diversity Day Spa is a top notch spa. I went to them because of their 5 star rating and am glad I chose them. Vanessa, the owner, is friendly and a customer service professional. Her facial left me feeling so relaxed and refreshed. I look at my skin in the mirror and and exteremely satisfied with the results. Just one tip for all first timers getting facials...never mix facials and brow waxing in the same day! Your skin is far too sensitive to do both. Best to come back after your skin heals to get your brows cleaned up. Thank you Skin Care Diversity Spa! -M read more

In case you forgot, id like to remind my followers that I am a total spa snob. I won a gift certificate for this place and i have to say, that i took FULL advantage of this and got the works! The Skin Diversity Spa (great name, it's like skin UNIversity, except for diverse skin types-LOVE IT!) is not a full spa, so don't expect hot tubs and towel maids, but it's perfect for a facial, wax, or wrap, (i forget if they did massage or not) at an affordable price. I booked myself for a wax, facial, hot tamale wrap, AND body scrub. The wax was the LEAST painful wax i've ever had and I had the most amazing facial ever! Before we started though She used this computerized scanner to show me what my skin looked like on the inside. I had seen this once before a long time ago, but not as high tech as this. It showed my levels of dehydration, so I knew exactly how much water I needed to drink AND it showed my sun damage. This way I knew exactly what kind of facial i needed, i knew she wasn't trying to give me extra stuff i didn't need bc the computer clearly showed what I needed. Very cool. I loved that my treatment room was dark and relaxing with soft music with a heavenly soft and fluffy WARM bed. Anyways, my facial was done by the owner, named Vanessa, and she was by far the MOST knowledgable Esthetician I've ever met! Her voice was soft and soothing, and I definitely fell asleep at one point, especially during the body wrap-which I SWEAR made me lose like 2 inches of fat in one sitting! Anyways, my FAVORITE part was the Vichy shower. Yes there is a Vichy Shower! Do you know how hard it is to find a Vichy shower anymore? (As a bi-coastal person in the spa biz, I can tell you that even the most elite spas in NYC do NOT have Vichy showers, they're too "hard to install" or whatever.) It was this final touch that made me appreciate this place even more! I can tell that they take pride in their services and went the extra mile to ensure that their guests had the most comfortable and relaxing experience. If I still lived in Long Beach, I'd go here for all my beauty services, but I don't, so I hope the locals take my advice and check out this little gem! read more

Bought a living social deal and am so glad I did! Had my first wax tonight and Vanessa was awesome! It took a few attempts to get an appointment but once I did, it was easy! Vanessa took her time, very meticulous, and explained everything. She used so many oils and lotions, I can't remember them. :) Some coconut oil etc....It was not painful at all...usually there's a bit of pain expected but this time it was so minimal...very happy about that! I have a second visit, I hope the second visit will be just as fabulous! Can't wait for my next "facial"...lol read more

I keep forgetting to leave a review! Georgina is amazing and will take care of your skin and help you develop a skin system. This is a step above a regular esthetician. I highly suggest it for people who need a skin care plan. read more

Vanessa is the best!! Very friendly. I love the atmosphere. Clean, quiet, quaint. I highly recommend this spa.

Amazing place. Relaxation engulfs you the moment you walk in. The interior design and welcoming staff cures any anxiety you may have from the start. Makeda was my masseuse, and her firm, consistent technique chased out the kinks and renewed the positive energy throughout my body. 5 stars is not enough for this place. Highly recommend. Thank you, Skin Diversity! read more

Awesome facial from Vanessa and massage from Makita- and I'm pretty snobby! Don't have to miss my SF Valley people anymore! Great atmosphere, wonderful products, very reasonable pricing, fantastic specials, within walking distance, free parking close by - AND a Vichy Shower! What more could you want Downtown Long Beach?! Thanks for the nice surprise honey - a great end to a tough week! read more

I've been to Skin Diversity three times now and Devin has done an amazing job with my facial and microdermabrasion treatment. I feel so relaxed when she's done that I feel like I'm walking on air. I not only get a facial, but a mini back, head and arm massage too! Can't wait to get back for my next treatment! read more

Vanessa is 1 in a million. From my first facial to the one I just had today, Vanessa is the best of the best with her knowledge of skin and her expert hands a magical combination. I love my skin and how it's turned around with her skills!! Thank you Vanessa from the bottom of my heart you're the best see you in five weeks!! read more

I purchased a massage deal through Amazon. Like most online deals, I did not know quite what to expect. Makeda did a fantastic job massaging my sore neck and shoulder muscles. She really put a lot of effort towards getting to the problem areas and fixing whatever is wrong. Its a very attractive and large business on the inside. Situated along Pine Ave., however, you might miss it if you walked by). Very happy with the overall experience. read more

The infrared body wraps are really cool! You lay down on a facial chair and get wrapped in large silicone flaps that are hooked up to a machine. At first the heat is subtle but after 50 minutes you're a hot little burrito! Vanessa takes extra care to make sure you're very comfy. Excellent experience at the spa. Will definitely be back for more! read more

I LOVE getting wax jobs here, I love this place! I can't recommend them highly enough! I went full Brazilian for a guy last fall, and I was soooooo timid and scared to have it done! Vanessa made me completely comfortable and is a total professional. She let me know when it might hurt more and the whole thing was a total breeze because of her. I'd do it again in a second - and I had 3 sessions. She is gentle in demeanor but quick, efficient, and flawless at waxing. The guy wasn't worth it. But Vanessa totally is! 5 stars all around. read more

Evelyn is the best deep tissue clinical massage and Vanessa gives the best wax I've ever had. Both super generous caring thorough. Wax was pretty much pain free. Madsage: I got more out if 1 hour than I've gotten out of 2 hours eksewhere. read more

tried their facial as well as their brow services, and both were great! they use awesome products and vanessa does a great job shaping and grooming my eyebrows... the place may seem a bit pricey, but if you wait for some deals and packages, you get most value for your buck! my local nail place charges $9 for eyebrow waxing, this place charges $15-- but the service is waaay better... quality vs. quantity... vanessa does not stop until your brows are perfectly groomed, tweezing each stubborn hair to perfection! i love this place! read more

I am simply blown away by the great job Vanessa did!.. When I first walked in i was greeted by Makita, who was very helpful and offered a beverage. My first impression was a clean atmosphere, very relaxing. I felt like I was at a high end spa! To top it off, the prices were very reasonable! Vanessa made me feel at ease (and the zen music might have helped as well) she explained why she would use the wax she used and the steps of the procedure. This is the first time I've left from a Brazilian wax and could actually walk normal lol. I didn't have any pain, swelling or redness afterwards, and best of all she wasn't messy! Usually you walk out sticky, not here. I would definitely recommend this place to the "sensitive" people, like myself, or first timers who would like to get a Brazilian. I can't wait to go back to try to European facial!! read more

Best spa/facial location in downtown long beach. Amy is very attentive and super nice!

Best Brazilian wax of my life, and the most inexpensive. Who would have thought. Also got my brows done and it was so relaxing I started dozing off. I didn't know brows could look so good. The staff is unbelievably kind and sincere. The location is great and the spa is a very relaxing environment. read more

After hunting and reading numerous yelp reviews of nearby day spas.....I had to try this one. I was not disappointed. I found the facility very clean and quite cute with positive energy flowing around the spa. My Brazilian wax was done by Vanessa who made me very comfortable and had me complete a pre-questionnaire that gave her the knowledge to complete my wax. I was very happy with the completed work. Everything took about 45 mins. Vanessa talked and educated me on what products she was using and what the benefits were. I liked that they have a great online reservation system that automatically adds the next appt to my calender on my iphone. I am recommending this day spa to my friends and family. read more

I bought a groupon for 4 sessions of microdermabrasions. Ever since I have been going I notice a dramatic difference in my face. So much that i even bought another 2 sessions. Vanessa is amazing and I definitely plan on visiting again for more. read more

Gone to see Vanessa twice already, amazing customer service compared to corporate waxing places. Really easy to talk to and takes her time with her work and doesn't rush and ensure you're always getting the best quality care for you needs. Bonus she's has affordable services!! read more
