I have been a client of Spa By Nikki since 2023 for eyebrow waxing services, but unfortunately the scheduling reliability has become a recurring issue. Out of the nine appointments I have booked, four have been moved or rescheduled on the day of the appointment. One appointment was rescheduled twice, and another was rescheduled three separate times. The reasons given have included a flat tire, a migraine, and oversleeping. My most recent experience was especially disappointing. I intentionally booked the appointment less than 24 hours in advance, thinking that since the appointment had to be confirmed, there would be a better chance it would be honored as scheduled. Nikki confirmed the appointment at 4:00 PM the day before, but then contacted me the morning of the appointment asking to move it to a different time. Looking back, it seems that morning appointments were the ones most frequently canceled or rescheduled. While I understand that emergencies and unexpected situations can happen, the repeated pattern of same-day schedule changes over multiple years has made it difficult to rely on appointments and plan my own schedule. The quality of the eyebrow waxing service itself has been good, but professionalism also includes respecting clients' time and maintaining reliable scheduling. Unfortunately, the frequent last-minute changes have left me frustrated and unable to confidently book future appointments. read more

I have been coming to Nikki for eyebrow waxing on and off for the past 10 years & yesterday, I finally made the " splurge" to get microblading done.. so glad I did it with Nikki!! My brows turned out perfectly, the way I wanted & just love it! She was so gentle & explained everything to me, before, during, & after the process. She followed the most hygienic protocols, the music, "French Cafe", was very relaxing, and Nikki is just the masterful artist that she is! Do not hesitate to get your brows, specifically microblading, done with Nikki. You will not regret it, & it is sooo worth it!!! Thank you, Nikki! See the before & after photos! read more

Wow, what a difference. I had Nikki do powder brows on me and OMG! They are fabulous. For reference, I'm 66 yrs old and my brows were looking a bit sparse and faded, so Nikki worked her magic and now they are full and dark again. I highly recommend getting your brows done. It gives you a much more youthful appearence. read more

I've been going to Nikki for my eyebrows for over 4 years now and she's still the BEST! Not only is she very professional but she's also an amazing person! I enjoy the time we spend catching up as she makes my eyebrows look beautiful! I travel back to San Diego once a year for a touch up because I like my brows dark and defined. Nikki does a wonderful job! I can't say enough good things about her and the quality of her work. I get tons of compliments about my brows even way past the time of my touch up. You are in great hands with Nikki! Go see her you won't regret it! Thank you Nikki :) read more

Nikki is lovely and a total magician. She listened to my concerns about my brows and did a fantastic job. She also gave me a little kit to take home to make sure I didn't get my brows wet when I showered. It was a super nice touch and very much appreciated. It was so calm and relaxing in her space I almost fell asleep. Will definitely rebook. read more

Nikki is truly the best. I used to see her years ago for all my facial and face-waxing needs, and after moving away and recently coming back, she was the first/service I searched for as I was settling in.

I'm so happy to be back in her care and wouldn't trust my face with anyone else. read more

Finding someone this good once is rare... staying with them for nearly two decades says it all. read more

I recently experienced my first real facial service and Spa By Nikki went above and beyond my expectation. From the fancy technology to help determine what is needed to improve my personal skin care, to the proper lighting, heated table with the most soft and luxurious linens, to the soothing music that made me feel like I was transported to another land in the clouds. Her attention to detail and her skills and knowledge around the entire Elemis product line was true perfection. She even provides a take home kit with step by step instructions, to continue using the same products used in your facial so you know what works for you going forward. What a wonderful experience! I already can't wait for my next facial! Spa by Nikki is where everyone should get their facials! read more

First facial in decades and I'm so happy I chose Nikki! The vibes of the space are super cute and relaxing, and Nikki was great!

Nikki is always great. I have been a brow customer here for years but just started getting chemical peels. She didn't try to upsell me and these were completely my idea.

Her space always smells amazing and she is a true professional. read more

Nikki is such a wonderful soul and so talented! The facial I received from her was the best facial I have ever had in my life. She recommended every 2-3 months but I already wanted to come back next week! I love how clean, calm, and positive her space is. It just makes you feel calm and relaxed prior to the treatment. I was so impressed with the face scanner, educating me with what is going on with my skin. I did not know I had dry to normal skin! I know for sure now! The whole facial was magical. Her massages, the products, the techniques, etc. all made me feel amazing. The R & R I needed and deserved! I am so excited for my next visit! Thank you Nikki! I am so happy to have met you. read more

Spa by Nikki - I got my eyebrows done recently and I am so happy and pleased with the results. - Skin Care Near Me - San Diego, California

Updated review. My brows lasted two months, so much longer than threading and I loved her so much I came back. Definitely got my $24 worth and the shape so was so amazing it was easy to maintain myself in the in between time. Love that she has an easy to book online system. Google brows by Nikki online and book your apt today. You do have to put a credit card down to avoid people bailing last minute and you will be charged if you do not give notice before canceling. But let's be real, that's professional courtesy. Check out my pictures to see adorable salon photos. She's a former Anastasia Beverly Hills Professional and uses Anastasia products. She measures your brows so they come out evenly before waxing. She asks you what shape you want before taking anything off. And she totally fills your brows in afterwards for a total salon experience! read more

As a first time client, I am very happy with my brows! I was a bit scared at first that my eyebrows would get messed up. I showed a pic to Nikki of how I like to keep my brows. She definitely listened and did not thin them out. Whew! They were shaped perfectly and kept the fullness. Thank you so much! Plus factor that her location is so close to me is awesome. Til next time Nikki! read more

I tried really hard to not be upset about my eyebrows. I got a lamination in preparation for a wedding and Nikki accidently dropped wax onto my right brow while working on my left. She knew that this was a mess up, apologized, and tried to scrape it off with her nails. Instead of washing it out, she ripped off 1/3 of my eyebrow before I could say anything. I get that warm water/soap would potentially wash out lamination treatment but I'd rather have no treatment than this. Normally I don't have my eyebrows waxed out of fear of overdoing it but there is no option for just lamination. I hoped for a fluffy brow look and my worst fears have come true. It really sucks to have to fill it in my eyebrow for the next 3 months while I pray it grows back. I gave 2 stars because I understand this is a small business. Nikki was polite and the office had a good ambiance. However, I will not be returning and do not recommend. read more
