Life-Changing Results -- But You Have to Do Your Part Too…read more I attached a few before-and-after photos below so you can see where I started versus where I am now. Working with Tatja was one of the best decisions I made for my skin. From day one, she was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and understanding. What stood out most was that she genuinely cared about my progress as a person, not just as a client. You can tell she wants people to succeed and feel confident in their skin, rather than simply treating it like a business transaction. That being said, I want to be honest with anyone reading this: you have to be willing to put in the work too. Tatja will give you the roadmap, but it's up to you to follow it consistently. For me, that meant: Following my skincare routine every day Managing stress, sleep, and recovery as best as possible Drinking plenty of water (lemon water became a staple for me) Cutting back on acne-triggering foods and habits Eating more whole foods like lean meats, salmon, avocado, sweet potatoes, and leafy greens (romaine lettuce was my favorite) Being more intentional about what I put into my body One thing I noticed was that cooking more of my own meals and eating out less made a huge difference because I knew exactly what was going into my body. As someone who lives a very demanding lifestyle between bodybuilding, sales, training, and the general stress that comes with pursuing big goals, my objective wasn't perfection--it was getting my skin as clear and healthy as possible while still moving my life forward. Thanks to Tatja's guidance, my skin is probably 95% clearer than when I started, and the difference in my confidence has been incredible. Honestly, if I had a less demanding lifestyle and could follow the routine perfectly every single day, my skin would probably be completely flawless. The fact that it's nearly flawless while still balancing everything else in life says a lot about how effective her guidance has been. If you're looking for someone who genuinely knows what they're doing, cares about their clients, and will help guide you through the process, I highly recommend Tatja. Thank you for everything! -- Tristan

I have struggled with acne my whole life and after seeing Tatja my skin is the clearest it has ever…read morebeen. I first got acne in middle school; it was mostly on my forehead and chin. I'm 22 now and mainly struggle with hormonal acne on my cheeks, jawline, and chin. Before seeing Tatja I had tried EVERYTHING. Antibiotics, birth control, retinol, curology, spironolactone.. just to name a few. She set me up with a personalized skin care routine and I go in every few weeks for in person treatments. She also has virtual appointments available which is super nice as well! Tatja has also given me such good advice on how to maintain my clear skin, like through my diet and lifestyle. I highly highly reccomend seeing Tatja if you are struggling with acne. She is the sweetest and my confidence has improved so much. Within just a few months of seeing her I was clear. I am so thankful for the work she does and so happy I found her here in Chico!

New to town and trying to find a good place for my monthly massage and facial. Decided to give…read moreRenew a try. Please note this review is not a reflection of the staff, just my personal opinion of the overall experience. The masseuse and esthetician were good however I had a few issues with the location. Located in a business park and very close to a main road right across from a high school. Upon entering the clean waiting room I was greeted and given paperwork to complete. There was a diffuser on, with a pleasant smell however the scent was extremely overwhelming...like hit you in the back of the throat, coughing overwhelming. While I waiting I noted there are two treatment rooms directly off of the waiting room, odd as I've always been to places where the check in/waiting area is separate from any treatment rooms. So close in-fact I could hear another guest talking to her masseuse. I was praying I wouldn't get the other room off the waiting area, but just my luck that was my room. My masseuse was very pleasant and did a good job. I had no issue with the service but the environment was so far from relaxing. Upon entering my room I noticed how bright it was. No overhead light but a lamp on and a large window with sheer drapes which let in a lot of light. This window also received direct sun which made the room very warm on a 100+ degree day. The massage started and I was trying to relax when there was conversation in the waiting room, a man was checking out and speaking very loud, he then excited the spa. There is a literal bell on the door handle which goes off every time someone enter or exits, if that wasn't enough there is an electronic chime that ALSO goes off every time the front door is used. I understand the purpose but it is far from relaxing hearing multiple chimes/bells when the front door is used. The bell/chimes went off multiple times during my service, very distracting. My treatment room shared the front wall of the business which has parking spots a sidewalks length away. I had the joy of hearing every car door open/close, honks from doors being locked and someone's very loud stereo, don't forget the motorcycle rev. The business is close to the road so you hear the traffic going by. I was there on a weekend so the traffic from the high school wasn't bad and most if not all businesses in the business park were closed. I can't imagine how loud it would be during the week. Following my service I was instructed to put on a robe and wait in the waiting area for my next service. I found it uncomfortable siting in my robe in a public waiting area while I held my clothes in my arms. I was then escorted to my next service, I was optimistic as I was taken back into the spa. Just my luck my next room was located with the main wall against the roadway. Thankfully I had a head wrap on and the facial steamer helped mask the sound of the passing traffic. But again, I could still hear the electronic chime every time someone used the from door. My service was good and the esthetician was pleasant and knowledgeable. I booked my appointment the night before and received multiple "reminder" texts the day of which was nice I'm on the fence if I will return or not, if I did it would only be for a facial as the environment is not relaxing for a massage in my opinion. .

I've only had one other experience with soft wax, as most of my other Brazilian wax sessions have been with hard wax, and I've had no problem with the soft wax. Her studio is located in the Garden Walk shopping strip in downtown Chico. The wax room itself is cozy and nicely decorated, and she provides wipes for before and a hot towel for after the session. She also sells items in front, but I haven't looked into what they are. Contrary to what the Yelp description says, Carrie had 20ish years of waxing experience--so you'll be in very good hands if you make an appointment with her!
