Very good hospitality and customer service. Prices are very reasonable and the product is working very good with my skin.

I see they have someone removed my picture but not my post !! Again did not want to Bash a black business but they need to learn from this , and I hope you all learn as well what my experience was . customer service was 100 but the lack of knowledge dismisses all of that if you are a license esthetician you should not let UN licenses staff dictate what products to use on your patient skin , the products began to visible brighten my skin which my hyper pigmentation noticeable and they begin to get worse as in i had more of hyperpigmentation then what i started with , after following my GUT and my heart something told me stop using their products when i broke out in a rash ! here are the pics of what happen to my skin , I kindly asked the owner and the staff to help me and they left me on read and stop responding to me , little did they know they caused me more pain mentally , i already was going through a lot and to have to wake up with my skin like that set me more back ! Thank the lord for kaiser giving me a basis routine that saves my skin!! read more

Got my first upper lip & chin wax here. It went pretty smoothly, there was barely any pain. The wax lady was knowledgeable and gentle with me. My only gripe was my appt was at 10 am & my service didn't start till around 10:45 am. The wax lady did apologize for the wait & gave me a free rose water toner, so that makes up for it. Anyways, I'd recommend Skin Essence by Pam for their waxing services. read more

I use to love this place and I never remember why I stopped going and I went for mother's day and remembered instantly. They booked me for a time once I got there I learned that everyone there had the same time and was mostly booked for the same person. My facial was rushed therefore was not a relaxing experience. Im positive that the facial I booked was not the facial she gave me. Alot of the other people were booked for Pam While in the room under the steam I heard the staff saying that Pam was not even coming in that day. The ladies sat for a while before they were notified. The fact that they only has 2 people doing facial ls but booked everyone for the same time was insane on top of that the lady kept scraping my face with some kind of tool I asked her what it was she said she was doing extractions I never had extractions done that way. When Ingot to my car after the facial my pores were still clogged. This place has gone all the way down in my opinion. read more

Came in for a full body polish with Mari. It's started with a body Enzyme that had to activate for 10 min then I rinsed off with a body wash, exfoliate, body oil, and topped off with body butter! My skin is 2 shades lighter and I'm glowing. I highly recommend this service. My only issue was when checking out. I was told a certain promo over the phone and when I checked out it was something different. Seemed like everyone wasn't on the same page about the promotion! Over all the spa was clean, had good vibes and parking was easy! read more

Love their products been using them since 2014. Pam is an amazing person and esthetician. She will definitely get you together with her fabulous facials while giving you a story of her life lol read more

From the moment you walk into this little gem, the ambiance, interior design and soft r & b mix captivates your essence. Pam is a once in a lifetime personality, smart, funny, charismatic and deeply spiritual. Her transparency is symbolic of a woman who had to overcome great odds to get to where she is today. Her team is professional, warm and friendly. The young lady that did my facial and derma-abrasion is D.D. She's young, fit ambitious and easy to talk to. Once I was done, I had a quick consultation with Sandra about weight loss, b-12 for energy and her amazing journey. These ladies are truly a blessing to the world! read more

My amazing facial by Pam. I had an appointment at 11:00 am. I arrived at 11:05 am and before I could sit down, I was placed in a room. I had a gown and a hair wrap to put on. I was immediately put on the steamer( whatever it's called). Pam came in the room to say hello and check on me. After the steamer, Pam started my facial. The music playing old school, ( It just soothed my soul) the politeness of the staff & Pam made it so soothing. The facial itself made my face glow and beautiful as my neightor told me. I agree with her. The cleanness of the place inside and its bathroom. The outside of it has inspirational wordings I give this business a 5 Star rating. read more

If the owner is there. It is professional. I went on a Wednesday and she was not there. The employees were loud, unprofessional, and unorganized. It was truly a trip from hell. They were loud for the time that I was there but went silent as I entered the lobby. The joke was on me. How unprofessional. Diamond was the person who was supposed to do my facial. She ran in and out of the room, giggling and was very unorganized. I have never been there and encountered this behavior. The people that were there have created an unprofessional environment for a business that has made an excellent reputation for itself. I can't believe that this is allowed. Maybe Diamond is a relative and is allowed to run customers off. The audacity! read more

I have been going here for about 4 years now and I see a huge difference in my skin. Gwyn has been my esthetician for the most part. A couple of times I have had Mari and she is just as great. I highly recommend these 2 ladies. read more

I have been coming here for years since high school and I'm 30 now and still love this place and the results I see after my facials and after using the products. read more

I really wanted to love this place especially because it is a black owned business but I wouldn't recommend anyone to go there. I went for the teens facial and for the free follow up and both times I ended up staying there from 3-4 hours for a facial that should've taken less time. The response I got was they over booked the 2 times I came and it was a "sad inconvenience". There were several moments where the esthetician left me in the room for more than 20 minutes just for her to realize the steamer was not working. Even when I came for a follow up appointment there were several time she would leave and come back several minutes later. Thankfully, I've had facials in the past and know such behaviors is not normal. I got there at 1 and left at 4 twice which is why you must pay me to go back. Since then I've found another place for facials and unfortunately it is not a black owned business. read more

I have not tried one of their services but I'm sure they are great. I just have a problem with their products. I just bought their face wash and bump serum and I would have expected that they at least would fill the bottles up. The bump serum is already a tiny bottle and they only filled it half way. I just feel like I was ripped off for paying $36 for only half a bottle! read more

The facial that I received was absolutely great. Pam did an excellent job! I decided to go back today to purchase products and as I opened the door, a very rude employee ran to the door and said "we're not open, I have to mop" and closed the door back. I was completely shocked and left away from there quickly. I'm not sure if I want to go back with that type of treatment. read more

Unacceptable Let me start by saying I am being generous giving this place 2 stars, its only because I like the products. Facial service gets a -1. I visited this place on January 5, 2019 for a facial, I arrived on time and was shown right in. My appointment was with Gwen but another person showed me to my room and put the steamer on my face. After 20 minutes of that Gwen comes in, looks at my face and talks to me for about 5 minutes and left. 30 minutes later she comes in, does a few extractions, puts a mask on my face (that took all of 8 minutes) and leaves again. 15 mins later the person that initially shows me in, removes the mask and puts some other cream on my face (that took 5 minutes) and says I'm done. I was there for an hour and half and they spent a total of 15 minutes on my face. Gwen couldn't even be bothered to come in and see how the facial went! I never like to give a negative review without giving the company a chance to address the issue, so I called and left a total of 4 messages for the owner over the last 2 months and never got a reply. I pre-purchased 3 facials at their annual Customer Appreciation and I have 1 more left. I would rather lose the money and the last facial then to waste my time at this place ever again. I'll find somewhere else to purchase my products as well. Do yourself a favor, go down the street to Massage Envy for a facial; it may cost a little more but you get in on time, the esthetician never leaves the room, and you get great customer service from a knowledgeable esthetician. I know I said I was going to give it 2 stars, after typing all of that, I'm angry again. read more

I had the pleasure of having a facial done by JOY!!! It was awesome and I will be coming back as a faithful customer! I had the facial starter package and it was much needed because I haven't had a facial in over 10 years. The facial started with a steam and a scrub and then into a mask and then onto the facial extractions and then back to the soothing masks which I got a pumpkin and vitamin C mask and I came out GLOWING! If you get a chance ask for Joy on Saturdays and she will hook you up! I also loved the front desk ladies as they helped me with products and check out! read more

Pam did an amazing job today on my facial. She did a great job treating and giving me a diagnosis during my treatment. Suite was very clean and created a very relaxing environment. Will definitely be returning! read more

I've been to this location a few times before. Today I called last minute to take advantage of the Friday special. I was happy to be able to go in at the desired time. Ms Gwen who is always a pleasure to see started for Ms Kathy so I didn't have to wait. My facial was nice and I left a happy camper as usual. Last week my experience was a disaster at the LB location so I'll never ever go there again and will just continue to come to Carson. I've never been disappointed here. Thanks Ms Gwen & Kathy for the excellent service! read more

I love results from facials, staff wonderful, I travel 1.5 hrs for these results anytime

I'm 53 years old I use the products and get facials when time permits, good genes help to, I'm told all the time I don't look my age. Black men especially should try the services and products, trust me if you use the products get your beard are treated from time to time your skin going to be looking good. That's important when you in the business world that's the first thing people notice is how good your skin looks. My mom and and sister both go and get facials as well. Plus everyone at the shop is helpful and always telling you what you should be doing and not doing. Lastly I always have a nice call or in person chat with the owners mom when I order my products or pick it up, with everything going on she'll definitely put a smile on your face. read more
