My mom actually found her first when I was a teenager and I always kept her in mind for when I was ready for my own injections. I'm so glad I did! Nina is the perfect mix of personable and professional. She always makes you feel comfortable, takes the time to explain everything, and genuinely cares about giving natural, beautiful results. You never feel rushed, pressured, or overdone just confident and taken care of. If you're looking for an injector in San Diego who is skilled, honest, and truly invested in her clients, Nina is the one. I wouldn't go to anyone else! I also recommend their membership! It's nice to accumulate credits there.

I've lived in San Diego for 17 years and tried MANY salons in that time, and I can very confidently…read moresay that Santo Tomas Collective is the best salon I've been to. Michelle is the most talented stylist and is worth every penny. I just wish I would've found her years ago. I kept trying to go to the newest, hippest salon and giving my money to very nice, but possibly very green, stylists who just didn't have the depth of color and cut experience Michelle has. It's just so clear to me now what a difference a stylist's experience level can make. Michelle gets my color exactly right. Every. Single. Time. And then if I want to change it up, she's always up for it and always knows how to accomplish my biggest hair dreams. I always leave feeling sexy and like I got exactly what I wanted! The other thing is that Michelle and her husband, Enrique, who works at the salon as well, are just lovely people. And together, they've created a beautiful salon with great stylists and a focus on your safety during these Covid times, but without losing the friendliness or the care they put into their services. Sadly, I'll be moving out of state in a few months. I told Michelle the other day, in total seriousness, that I would need to make the 2 1/2 hour flight to San Diego every 6 weeks, just so she could keep working her magic on my hair!

My hair service with Tabie was 4 hours and $500. My usual stylist for 4+ years missed my…read moreappointment last minute and couldn't reschedule for 10 days so I was stuck with gray showing. Got referred to Tabie by a stylist I used pre-2021 before she moved away. I'd been to this Old Town salon pre-covid. When I arrived Tabie had another client with color on her hair so she wasn't even close to being done. She spent lots of time shampooing, massaging, cutting, and styling the other client while I waited and waited. To color (one color, no highlights) and cut my hair plus remove & replace 9 shoulder length tape extensions took 4 hours. I've never had a hair service take that long. And she cut my hair too short which I couldn't tell until it was dried. Now my 2 month old $400 extensions are also cut too short. When I complained she said she left my hair longer than I'd asked. Oh right - you know better than me how long I wanted my hair. Then she said it was $500 for the service! I was shocked. My fault for not asking beforehand but I had no idea it could be that much. I've been paying $300 + tip which I thought was a lot. And I could tell she just pulled that number out of her "back pocket" - literally made it up on the spot. I just wanted to get out of there so I paid and left. I texted after to ask why it took 4 hours. She said her other client was "only 15 minutes late" and it normally takes her 2-1/4 hours just to cut and color. I've never had a hair appointment take even that long even with extensions. And that doesn't explain the other 1.5 hours I was there! I can't remember a worse experience at a hair salon. It was after a long day at work and I was exhausted. I wanted a relaxing time and this was anything but. The other stylist's client had her child there screaming and running all over the salon. Then I found out Tabie trained my 2021 stylist, they've been friends for 20 years and almost bought that salon together. I feel I was set up and taken advantage of. My 4-year stylist was in on it too - they're all buddies. I'll never go there again and now must find a new stylist I can trust. If you think to go here better ask beforehand how much $ and how long it will take. And don't tell her to take off 2 inches because it will turn into 5!

I've had the pleasure of supporting this small business for almost a year, and they truly care…read moreabout their customers. The atmosphere is always calm, welcoming, and professional. While they are a small team, they are each experts in their art. Chelly (Facials): Chelly transformed my acne-prone skin! Her facials are relaxing, and effective. She is gentle, meticulous, and truly cares about results. I really appreciate the fact that she takes time to read your skin and provides a personal experience; rather than one recipe for all facials/skin types. Earl (Massages): Earl listens closely to your concerns and delivers exactly what you need. Whether you are looking to fully relax or need targeted work, Earl takes care of you. I've had two instances where just one massage session has extremely made a difference on a constant pain area; Including a constant tension pain on my shoulder from long hours of desk work. I've not had the opportunity to try their Ayurvedic treatments yet, however I am positive that Christianne and her team will deliver the same level of professionalism and quality as the treatments I have enjoyed. Overall, I truthfully recommend this place for anyone searching for a holistic personalize self care treatment. 10/10 would recommend!

I had a great experience with Ayurbida Wellness and Clinic. The GI-MAP test was absolutely worth…read moredoing because it helped clearly identify what was really going on and what needed to be addressed. The clinic did an excellent job explaining the results and connecting the findings to the symptoms I was experiencing. What impressed me most was how thorough and knowledgeable they were. They were able to pinpoint issues that had not been identified before and gave me a clear plan on what steps to take next. I felt listened to, supported, and confident that I was finally getting to the root of the problem instead of just treating symptoms. I highly recommend Ayurbida Wellness and Clinic to anyone considering a GI-MAP. It was one of the best investments I have made in my health.

I had a really upsetting and uncomfortable experience at this Walgreens. I went in to purchase a…read more10-pack of insulin syringes -- something Walgreens clearly states on their own website is allowed in California without a prescription, as long as you're purchasing 30 or fewer. I was simply picking them up for a family member. When I got to the staff at the pharmacy register, I greeted them and then stated if I can purchase a bag of insulin syringes for my family member. I was looked up and down by the employee, who then walked over to the pharmacist. He came back and told me they couldn't sell the syringes to me unless I had that family member's prescription. I wasn't there to debate policies -- I was doing a favor for a diabetic family member and felt completely judged and dismissed in the process. Feeling embarrassed and confused, I checked Walgreens' website outside, and sure enough -- it says in plain English that in California, syringes can be sold over the counter without a prescription, up to 30 units. I went back in and spoke to a manager, showed them the policy, and all they could do was point to the small print that says it's "ultimately up to the pharmacist's discretion." Here's the bigger issue: this location is surrounded by a large homeless population, and I understand the concern about selling syringes to individuals struggling with addiction. But even denying clean needles to addicts does more harm than good. A policy like this, when enforced without context or compassion, isn't protective -- it's dangerous. This pharmacist has either deprived a diabetic of life-saving medical supplies, or pushed a desperate addict closer to sharing a potentially disease-infected syringe just to survive another day. Either way, it's a failure in basic public health ethics. Denial doesn't stop drug use -- it just makes it riskier and more inhumane. If Walgreens wants to empower its pharmacists to make case-by-case decisions, fine -- but don't advertise clear and accessible over-the-counter availability if the actual in-store experience is entirely different. This experience was humiliating, harmful, and disappointing.
