I had never considered having a facial; I thought it was something only for women and especially…read morenot for Black men. After overcoming this limiting belief, I reached out to Brandi bc her own skin is pretty flawless. (Self-care is the best advertisement, right?!) I made an appointment and from start to finish I felt like I belonged and was treated with so much care. My untreated skin looked and felt better than it has in my 36 years of living. She explained everything she was doing and why it was important throughout the treatment. The bonus was the conversation! We talked about everything from vanilla lattes to spiritual healing! Maybe it was that comfortable chair that really opened me up! Thanks Brandie. I'm definitely coming back!

I went to Body Alchemy and saw Kimberly for my VERY FIRST facial…read more The spa is very calming and serene. I felt immediately as if I had stepped foot away from the day-to-day in SD and might as well have been in some exotic vacation spot in the Caribbean or Mexico. I'm a regular at spas for massages, and Kimberly is a true professional that knows her craft. She was communicative with me the entire time on what she was doing and what to expect (with the facial). If you're looking to receive any sort of spa treatment but not sure where to go, give her a call and make an appointment. You won't be disappointed.

I received a gift certificate from my girlfriend to get a facial at Body Alchemy spa so I went to…read morecheck it out. The owner, Kimberly is great and gave me one of the best facials that i've ever received. The biggest win for me was that she turned me on to this product called PCA skin and I've gotta tell you, it is the best thing that I have ever used. I don't have bad skin but I get occasional break outs. Ever since I started using PCA Skin, my skin has never been healthier. I use the daily cleanser, the scrub, the SPF 25 moisturizer and an acne break out serum for those pesty little zits that show their ugly faces at the most inopportune time. I've since turned my sisters and many friends on to using the product and they also agree. Forget ProActive..this is so much better. Overall, Kimberly is a very knowledgeable esthetician and I'm glad I found her. I actually have one that I see regularly but Kimberly is my back up when Denise is not available. This review says that she's located in Encinitas (which is her 2nd office) but she also has a store front in Solana Beach on Cedros, 312 S Cedros Ave, Solana Beach, CA 92075. 858-345-1661. P.S. No walk-ins so call Kimberly to schedule an appointment. You wont be disappointed.

I was introduced to this aesthetic center after doing a series of injectables with a mobile medspa…read morethat used this location. I wasn't particularly looking for any services but ended up talking to Laura about her work in eyebrow microblading. It was really impressive. Laura has been doing different forms of "permanent makeup" -eyebrows, lips, eyeliner, etc. She creates a very natural effect- not overdone and it's not noticeable that it's been done at all. I had my eyebrows filled in a bit with natural-looking strokes that look like individual brow hairs. She took the time to look at my face and measure out the exact proportions that would be flattering for my face shape. I appreciated the extra time that she took to explain the process and what to expect. She has a take-home packet that explains each stage of the healing process so I got reassurance along the way and knew that everything is on track. Her attention to detail is great.

WOW! it was one of the most unique and nourishing experiences. Ashley was very nice, professional and kind. Her facial massage left me feeling mesmerized. I loved how intentional the facial massage was, an amazing lymphatic drainage, and she helped release tension in my face. Also She massaged the inside of my mouth - first ever in my life! She released my jaw muscles that were very tense that I didn't even know I had. As someone who frequently experiences bloat and puffiness on my face, my face felt lifted and sculpted afterward. The aesthetic is beautiful and the ambiance is soothing and relaxing - just how a facial should be! I cannot wait to come back next year! Thank you Ashley!
