If you have acne, I highly recommend seeing Lauren! She is a miracle worker!…read more I just recently moved up to Monterey county from Orange County. With the stresses of a new location, work and school, my skin broke out worse than ever before. I have always had acne, but I hadn't broken out like this since I was 13. My boss recommended that I see Lauren and I am so glad I did! I first saw her for a light peel, then yesterday I went back for a full 2 hour facial. She started with steaming, cleansing and a mask and it was very relaxing. Then we moved on to the deep pore cleansing. Extractions are never fun, but she was as gentle as could be. Plus I've always heard that "beauty is pain". Lauren was very helpful and informative about the products she was using on my face. It's always fun to learn something new! She also gave me 2 samples products that she recommended I start using. Today (day after my facial) I woke up and my skin looks flawless! I can't even remember the last time my skin has looked this clear! I'm looking forward to going back to Lauren soon!

She has always been accommodating with appointment changes and will always try to squeeze her clients in so they can walk away with a fresh wax. She is not only great at her job but she is quick and efficient at the same time. The vibe in her studio is clean and calming which is hard to accomplish while getting a Brazilian. She also is not pushy with products which is such a huge plus but at the same time she is willing to educate you on products that could help you if you are interested. I would recommend her to anyone and I have multiple times already! I just hope not all the appointments get taken!

Best! Massage! Ever!…read more My husband and I had an appointment and it had to be rescheduled due to an emergency with the massage therapist which was no worry and they were great about rescheduling when we were available. When we got there they'd given us an upgrade due to the "inconvenience" which I'd say it wasn't at all especially since everyone was so nice about it! The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and walked us through the whole process and even brought us water afterward. We'll definitely be returning next time we're in town!
