I came in today for a Brazilian and underarm laser hair removal. I was really nervous about the Brazilian, but Tara made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire appointment. She was kind, professional, and helped ease my nerves. The front desk staff on 7/31/26 were also incredibly friendly and welcoming. Overall, I had a great experience, and I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! read more

I had a great experience at South Bay Med Spa. Alejandra was kind and helpful. Nurse Lisset was amazing. Super sweet, friendly and made me feel great. She knows what she is doing. I will be back!!! read more

Highly recommend coming here for facials, I received a treatment from Alejandra and it was one of the best experiences I've had. I will follow up with more treatments and the front desk staff is very professional. read more

I came here for my Morpheus8 treatment with nurse Lisset. I had an amazing experience. The best numbing cream. No discomfort at all. Clean place and the staff is very friendly. Definitely coming back. read more

I went in for my usual 60 units of Botox for frown lines, forehead, and crow's feet. After the main treatment, the nurse mentioned she had "leftover product" and asked where I wanted it. I wasn't sure, so she suggested a lip flip and DAO injections. Two weeks later, I called for a touch-up because I didn't see any results on my forehead. When I returned, I was told I didn't actually receive the full dose initially, which explains why it didn't work, and I ended up being charged extra to add more. It's very disappointing to experience such a lack of professionalism and a clear unwillingness to fix the issue. The "leftover" product vs. missing dose situation feels misleading, and I expected the full treatment I paid for. I left feeling frustrated and let down. read more

came here for laser and all the ladies here have been amazing! the ones at the front desk have always been warm and inviting, my nurse Liz has been the best! super professional and super friendly! and the results are great, she made sure to never miss a spot! i'm hairless! lol. i couldn't recommend this place enough for laser, and their prices are hard to beat! read more

Very nice staff however I don't like that every laser hair removal I get someone different and different levels. I don't mind the pain and they always lower it. More hair would be gone by now. read more

Very good very professional, I definitely recommend and will be coming back! Liz is very sweet and did a great job with my laser appointment. read more

I've been a happy client here for about 2 - 2.5 years. Once I reached that "certain age" where a little help and maintenance is needed, I took advantage of a special they were having on botox. The space is very clean, staff are friendly and welcoming, and most importantly, they listen to what you're trying to improve. I moved away from Whittier to TX and then came back to work in San Diego. The 224 mile round trip drive from San Diego is well worth knowing I will leave happy with my results. I completely recommend them and will continue to return. read more

So this is another experience had with these people. The response from Sean B. to my review seems disingenuous and suspicious. He says to reach out directly to work out a resolution but leaves no contact information. When calling the main numbers no one ever answers the phone. Probably for good reason. What is going on there? Your guess is as good as mine. I have already left voicemail messages which no one bothers to return as previously mentioned. Sean B seemed to be answering most of the new inquiries on their Yelp page, so I thought that might be a way to reach him. However, when I tried asking a question in this app under the 'question' format to let him know I was trying to reach out, they made all effort necessary to flag my question to get it removed, but not one finger to reach out to me -the person they owe money to; the person they wronged. How? I purchased 2 services. The first one was botched. And they never paid me back for the second one that was never performed! I guess they thought it was free money. Seems Mr Sean B. response is in line with the performance I saw at their office. All lip service, nothing to show. Don't be fooled, this place uses unsupervised assistants to perform their work which is how I got hurt. They will put a smile on, and tell you anything. But they won't help you, only hurt you. Unethical people. They don't care about offering good service -only taking your money to the bank. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this shady business. read more

Purchased an under arm laser treatment where it must be paid in full for all sessions. The session takes less than 10 or 5 minutes. Sessions were fine results were ok. However, not great customer experience. This Spa has a strict 24hr policy where they will not work with you even if you call 22 hours before the appointment you will still lose out on your already paid for session that's takes them less than 5 minutes to complete. Even if you explained that you have a family emergency and out of state. NOT WORTH the grief on getting a reschedule on something that was already paid for on a spa that is already overpriced compared to other laser hair removal spas. @SeanB Thank you for your response. However, you should know I have not once had a "no show". I had one instance where I got a flat tire an hour before my appointment and I notified the office this was kindly waived. Todays incident, I called 22 hours before my appointment and your employee was rude stating that multiple exceptions had been done before which is incorrect. Nor did I ever curse nor did I threat. I did state that I will post my experience and that is what I did. read more

Not good experience. Purchased a Botox Groupon in the first place, I was 'advised' by the physician to take more units when I arrived and was informed that even though I can't purchase another Groupon (which is not consistent with the Groupon website, the website said I could purchase the deal one more time) I could still get the same price for the same product as on Groupon. Ok so I agreed not to purchase another Groupon but paid them directly. The receptionist changed their story afterwards and I was charged doubled the original price. I paid whatsoever just be aware this kind of Deception Also, the staff being very careless about the sanitizing before the injection. They didn't wipe the full injection face area . I'm just glad I didn't wear any makeup that day read more

I would like to acknowledge their nurses Lizette and Nicole...and also front desk Stephanie for helping me redeemed my daughter's groupon that about to expire. Stephanie is very considerate knowing that I already paid for that groupon and my schedule is so busy to redeemed it on time. Thank you Stephanie read more

Clean and great staff. Found Botox on Groupon and I don't usually buy cosmetics on Groupon but they had good reviews so I thought I'd try for a simple area. I got my forehead and brow lift , 20 units. Nurse was nice. Let's see the results :) read more

This review is for Morpheus 8 I pre-paid for 3 Morpheus 8 sessions. For my first appointment I was greeted and walked to a treatment room to apply numbing cream. Waited for the 30min prior to be taken to another room where I waited another 20 min After waiting, I asked the young lady if she was going to perform the procedure and she acknowledged she was. I asked if she was a clinician to which she said no. She was an AESTHETICIAN. She asked if I was ok to proceed and was clearly not. As I have never had a NON-CLINICAL person perform this procedure on me. She respectfully understood and told me to reschedule with a nurse for another day. This was ridiculous!! After waiting with numbing cream you want me to reschedule!!! As a clinician myself. I do not believe and support that an aesthetician is the appropriate person to perform this procedure on any patient. There are many factors when using this laser and a non licensed person has not gone to school to fully learn and understand anatomy. A few hours of a course on how to use this machine is not adequate. This should be performed by a trained RN, NP, PA or MD. The cost of this treatment is pricey($1k/ session) as one is paying for the skilled Licensed Professional's time and expertise on using such lasers. Ladies I encourage you to educate yourself and refer to an aesthetician' when needing a facial. In the end I had to fuss with the front office to demand and obtain a refund. I spoke with Sally who offered me complimentary treatments to which i declined. Given the lack of professionalism with the front office staff and lack of transparency of staff performing the procedure overall it's safe to assume this is not a business I intend to return to. read more

The nurses are very friendly but they are always running late and never answer the phone .

I love the South Bay Med Spa services and the staff are very friendly. Stephanie is amazing and totally works with my busy schedule. Totally recommend to everyone! read more

Very friendly very clean and professional always a good atmosphere Never have to wait Always feel comfortable and welcome read more

I called to make an appointment after purchasing a Groupon deal, they told me the first appointment will have to be a consultation because they need to see if I'm a good candidate. The whole process took less than 5 mins but I was waiting there for 10 mins and drove for 20 mins, all of that just to sign some paperwork, which could've been done through email. Other than that, the customer service here is super disappointing. Stephany didn't even bother to sit down to have a conversation with me, she went through everything so quickly like she's got somewhere to be. My first actual appointment is next week, hopefully the session goes smoothly to make up the disappointing "consultation". Will update after few sessions! :) read more

I found South Bay Med Spa on Groupon and they had an amazing deal going on for small area (which I chose lower face). It was also convenient as I work literally down the street! They were also telling me that they had a deal going on for underarms (which was extra but wanted to try so I paid the extra). In total I have 6 sessions for both areas. I already did my first appointment a few weeks ago and the technician was super sweet, very informative, and also made sure I was comfortable! (I will edit later with her name as it is escaping me at the moment). There was however, a small wait in the beginning and they were backed up, but apologized and offered water to us 3 women in the waiting room as it was an extremely hot day, but the room was cooled with the AC. I go back for my 2nd session on May 13 and I am excited as I have seen almost immediate results on my lower face and armpits! Seriously such a great investment I am so excited to continue this laser journey! *UPDATE! My technician's name is Kristen! She's the best! read more

Update: Sean the regional manger personally reached out to me. I went in for another session and I feel so much better about my progress. I still haven't reached the standard two weeks to see the full results. But I'm already feeling confident with areas I'm usually insecure about. So I guess that says something. Thanks, Sean. Changed from 2 to 4 stars. read more

Finally found a place that I trust and feel comfortable. I always have my toddler and they made me feel very welcomed bringing him. All I got was a lip flip but the results are great that I'd trust her with anything else. Nicole seems very knowledgeable of her work (which is very appreciated) first time patients get $50 off the lip flip which is awesomeee. Thank you all so much!! read more

Overall my experience with Med Spa was pleasant as the staffs were polite and funny, but the procedure in itself was not useful. I paid for full legs and arms hair removal laser and after two months of finishing my treatments (tx) my hair grew as long and thick as before the treatment. I would recommend/suggest to do the treatment with other RNs rather than Vanessa - she goes fast and only does one round of laser. You may see better results. I only saw results with my under arms and half face. Do not refer before trearments are done. I recommended a friend in good faith and also didn't get any discounts or free treatments. Also keep in mind that my tx didn't provide results. read more

Just had my first (Brazilian) laser hair appointment today and I am so happy! First, the gals in the front of the office are so friendly and knowledgeable. I was so nervous, being this is my first time ever getting laser. Vanessa was so nice and explained everything to me. She made me feel so comfortable and we talked through the entire process which made me forget all my nervousness! It was super quick about 15 minutes. I have heard how much laser hair removal hurts, this DID NOT hurt one bit! I was expecting something totally different and am extremely satisfied and can't wait for my next appointment! read more

Staff is professional, warm, and accommodating. I was greeted with great enthusiasm when I walked in. It was also nice to see how accommodating the staff was with every interaction I witnessed - even the delivery people dropping of packages! Office is clean and sleek. My treatment was well executed and RNs Bonnie and Marina were attentive and made me feel comfortable and confident. They know their stuff! I look forward to my treatment taking effect and returning in the future! read more

Great facial - very relaxing! Took the time for extractions, massage, good special happening now on the microdermabrasion. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because the bed wasn't that comfortable and my face was fairly red afterwards but less dry! This place can be my regular go to facial place if the specials exist. Thank you for a great facial! read more

Yesterday was my first time at South Bay med Spa Whittier. I went in for Botox. It's only a day but I already see results. I sleep on my left side and have a really defined crows feet line. One line that bothers me every time I look in the mirror. It's almost gone in a few hours!!! Thank you Nadine I love my results. read more

I spent $3500 to get laser and lip filler. My lips are crooked more on one side, not enough on the other. Nadine is nice but results are horrific, procedure was extremely painful. I went back so they can fix it, but only if I PAY MOREHaven't finished my laser yet so I don't know how it's going to end up. My lips are in agony, lumpy and crooked. PLEASE HELP read more

Love it here! Everyone at South Bay Med spa is very friendly and makes you feel comfortable, also very clean and follow all covid-19 guidelines. Second session for laser hair removal, painless and fast. The growth was very minimal after the first session. I love it, no more razor bumps even when I shave between sessions. I highly recommend SBMS, looking forward to fillers and Botox here read more

I love this place! First time laser customer and I'm loving my results. Very clean facility and the staff is very knowledgeable and super nice! read more

LOVES it! I had my first laser hair removal here and it was such a great experience! The gentleman in the front desk and Stephany were so welcoming. It was a hot day out and I was offered a nice, cold water *love those kind gestures*! COVID protocols were enforced and the facility was super clean. Vanessa did my hair removal and was amazinggg. I was nervous and she made me feel super relaxed and comfortable. I got my underarms done and it was a quick process! It felt like a hot rubber band slapping on my skin, but she made sure to take the appropriate cooling breaks to make sure I was not in any pain. Once I knew what to expect when she finished the first underarm, the second one was a breeze! Found them on Groupon and I can't wait to see the final results after all my treatments are done. Love the referral cards and the in-house flash sales! Can't wait to be back! read more

Decided to try a place closer to my house but it was a fail. Had an appointment at 11:20. 11:40 still had me waiting so I decided to leave. The excuse was " it's because we had a filler appt ". Then why schedule me at 11:20? If you value your time skip this place. read more

I bought a six session package through group on. Just had my first session. I had a great experience . The consultation was professional and informative. The staff was amazing. As I came out of my session the manager came out to ask how did it go! I felt safe and taken care of. I've never had laser hair removal before and I'm glad my first experience was with such a great place. It is local for me because I live in Whittier. I'm glad to support a local business. I encourage anyone to give this place a try. I have extreme hair growth I did medium area which is lower face area cheek down , so chin , and upper lip. I have noticed a difference just with the first session and I am looking forward to coming here to maintain and get more services . I've done it all to remove hair such as waxing all types, the No No, epilators of all types (electronic tweezers), threading, you name it iIve done it. the only thing I haven't done was shaving because I have so much hair that I would have a shadow. So my point is that I noticed the difference 1st session this is incredible I'm on day three after and it's amazing. Oh and I know some of you are like if you stayed consistent with the threading no that's the problem I did and I still would have to go back in very two to three days max. I got so tired of stressing to get back to my threader my hair just grew too much and too fast. I gave up and I would struggle Daily by 5 pm have new hair growth and daily have to use epilator with terrible results. Just in this one session better than anything I've ever done excited about the next sessions. read more

I had an excellent experience yesterday at South Bay Med Spa! The facility was super clean and sterile. The staff was so friendly and most importantly they were following all COVID protocols so I felt safe. One of my best experiences with Botox! Nurse Eunice was gentle and diligent. Thank you for an amazing experience! I'll be back for sure. read more

Absolutely best laser experience ever! I had Nadine do it for me, it was my first time and she made my time there easy going, and pain free. I was nervous at first but the staff and the overall experience there was incredible. read more

Staff is beyond amazing. Made me feel absolutely comfortable while doing my peels. Very accommodating when I had to reschedule an appointment last minute. Never did I feel uneasy while being here. read more

I purchased the Brazilian laser package while they were still at their old location. But by the time I started going they had moved to their new and current location. The parking lot is small but I've never had an issue with parking. I can get from my car to their check in desk easily and quickly. The receptionist is always friendly upon checking me in and scheduling future appointments. I can't remember my nurses name, I'll update later, I believe her name is Nicole. She's very friendly and always makes sure I'm comfortable during the laser. South Bay med spa has been asking me to review them since I first signed up and I always declined. I always wait until I go a few times to ensure I'm satisfied and I'm being treated with respect as a customer. They have my stamp of approval. read more

Wow, this place is awesome! Eunice was a real professional! Really knowledge too! I got a couple different things done and it went super smooth. The place is also super clean and modern. I really recommend this place! read more

Finally got to visit this beautiful new location! What I loved the most was the staff. Angie was so welcoming and sweet. I have to say, I was initially nervous about getting Botox but the staff just made the entire visit so wonderful! I appreciated Bonnie and Eunice so much for thoroughly explaining the placement of where they'd be injecting and what I should expect. Throughout the procedure they also made sure to ask how I was doing and if I was comfortable. I felt zero pain, and guess what? No bruising! Yay! Finalmente puedo despedirme de mis arrugas haha Yes, the spa is aesthetically GORGEOUS, but in my opinion it's ultimately the staff that'll really shape your experience. Can't wait to go back and try something new! read more

One of my good friends recently recommended South Bay Med Spa to me for laser hair removal which has turned out absolutely fabulous! The building is off painter in Whittier with its own small parking in the back. The office itself is impressively spotless with a small seating area and a nice clean restroom. The staff is always sparking discussion and offering beverages to me and others when I come in. I was provided treatment by Nicole who walked me through the laser process and took care of me in a timely fashion. I had many questions concerning hyperpigmentation from the laser, and she remained very patient with me every step of the way. Safe to say I've confidently gotten over my fear of lasers and am obsessed! read more
