    I feel calm just looking at this photo.

    While in L.A. recently, I wanted to pamper myself and escape for an afternoon to de-stress from work. A colleague recommended SkinGuru Spa in Santa Monica, so I followed her advice. I am SO glad that I did. From the moment you walk in, you feel an instant sense of calm. The studio is serene, beautifully designed with a minimalist yet warm vibe that immediately helps you relax. I started to feel my stress melt away as I walked through the door. Michelle, the owner, is an absolute gem. She's incredibly professional yet so down-to-earth, and she has this magical way of making you feel completely at ease. I've been to a lot of spas over the years, but the personalized attention she offers is exceptional. She takes her time to really listen to your skincare needs, never rushes, and explains everything so clearly. Her deep knowledge of skincare is evident in every treatment she offers, but what I love most is how she combines that expertise with such a calming presence. Her facials are *so* good, but what is next level is the Japanese head spa treatment. IYKYK. Michelle has this way of making you feel like you're the most important client in the world. If you're looking for a place to unwind, be pampered, and leave glowing (inside and out), I can't recommend SkinGuru enough. It's truly a sanctuary for anyone who needs a little break from the chaos.

    I had the most amazing experience by Michelle doing the nirvana max - scalp and hair tx, and included fire and ice facial. I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated!! It was the perfect bday gift and I loved Michelle's energy and expertise. She gave some great recommendations to continue taking care of my hair needs. I will definitely be back one day!! Yay! :)

    Skin super clean

    I have been coming to SkinGuru spa to make my skin look it's best. They have different facial options that I love including HydraFacial and iS Clinical Fire and Ice facial. The treatments are really comprehensive and include through but gentle extractions and LED light. I always leave feeling really hydrated and my skin looks awesome. I'll be back again very soon.

    After iS Clinical Fire & Ice Facial

    I've been seeing Michelle for my skin for years now. She truly takes the time to assess your needs and have your skin at its best. I recently did the iS Clinical Fire and Ice Facial with her and it was amazing. My skin was so smooth and a stranger complimented how glowy my skin was. There are so many beauty products and treatments out there, and Michelle always figures out the best treatments and products and makes skin care simple with amazing results. Whether you are just starting your skin care journey or consider yourself an expert, you should definitely see her. She only uses the best medical grade, proven skin care products and will have your skin in its best health.

    EXTRORDINARY experience! Absolutely recommend going to see Michelle and her simply wonderful SkinGuru Spa in SaMo!! Beautiful room, savvy technology, amazing products, fantastic scalp/hair/facial care from such a caring expert! MUST go!

    I was looking to get botox from a local clinician in the area and I found Skin by Lovely. Went in…read morefor my appointment where I was treated excellently by the waiting staff and offered refreshments in the form of a Perrier seltzer. Once I filled out my form and handed back the ipad, I waited a total of 5 min before I was greeted by another staff member who took me take photos of my face before putting in a glass surround corner exam room, mind you on the 9th floor on Wilshire in Brentwood right before Santa Monica. The views were excellent the room was well decorated, organized, with breathtaking views and nothing like a hospital exam room. I was then introduced to Nikki H. my injector, who seemed very courteous and welcoming. She asked me specific questions regarding what were goals with tox and then asked if i'd make certain expressions with my face so she can make her analysis. Immediately after she had the NP Lovely come in and review the treatment we agreed on. Once she came, set up her kit, then proceeded to stick me while I was talking to the NP. Funny thing I didn't feel a thing and it was seemless. Once treatment was completed Nikki walked me to the reception to schedule a follow-up and was incredibly kind. This isn't my first rodeo so to have an injector handle the procedure so delicately for me not to notice while I was in mid discussion, was excellent. Happy to say due to the ambience, staff, an amazing injector Nikki and timely service. I will definitely be going back to them soon. Thanks Skin by Lovely and Nikki H. (Injector)

    I don't typically write reviews, but I felt this experience warranted one…read more I've actually been to this location before and used to really enjoy it. When my primary aesthetician wasn't available, this was a place I trusted and would come to as a backup. I booked a facial here recently specifically because I had an inflamed pimple on my chin that I was hoping could be treated before an important event. I drove about 40 minutes and paid $150 for the service. The aesthetician was very kind and professional, but the service itself did not meet expectations. There was no steam or warm compress used, the towels were cool, and no meaningful extractions were performed. The only area that seemed to be addressed was some oil around my nose. The primary concern I came in for was not treated or discussed, and I left with the same inflamed lesion I arrived with. I completely understand that not all breakouts are appropriate for extraction, but this was never communicated during the service. I followed up directly and through customer service. While they were responsive, I was told a refund was not possible and was instead offered a discount on a future service or a complimentary 30-minute facial. Unfortunately, that does not address the outcome of the original service. I was also told that an email had been sent to me, which I never received (including checking my spam folder), which added to the frustration. This experience unfortunately changed my perception of a place I used to trust, and I don't see myself returning. Sharing this so others can make an informed decision.

If you want to rail against this unalienable truth and stave off the inevitable a teensy bit, this place will gladly help you do it. I've only done botox here and it's easy to book and it's a professional outfit. I did botox in my neck and I don't think it did anything but it was worth a try I guess. I also tried in my upper lip to smooth out those lines, and I do not recommend trying it. You will not be able to it properly! The botox works! but you can't move your mouth, lol. Otherwise, I've tried it to smooth out my forehead and other areas, and it's worked fine, with no ill effects.
