Nice clean spa. Stephanie is a great esthetician. I highly recommend her! She is very accommodating for busy schedules and the results on my skin speak for itself! Location is convenient and it's a small spa so you aren't waiting around for your service. In and out looking and feeling better. read more

First off, I want to thank Wendy and Kim for honoring the rest of my gift card from a past agreement (the old massage lady moved and her prices were different). Kim is wonderful! I haven't found a massage therapist to make me that relaxed in a looooong time. She hit every point with perfect pressure and was very professional. She even have me a little take home gift! How awesome is that?! I took her card and will be back in the future for myself and I'll be referring! :) read more

This is a review for Justine for eyelashes! I've had three great appointments with her. The first visit was for a groupon voucher. After her great minx lashes, I wanted to come back for more! I bought a package of refills and booked an appointment for a full set! She is amazing at what she does, and she works so quickly, I felt like I wasn't lying down too long, and time went quickly because she's great to talk to. You MUST go see her. She rocks. read more

Krista Rocks! I just moved to the area (actually, right across the street from XO) and I called her up and she got me in right away. It's cozy and clean, and you get a perfect dose of "girl talk" as you relax in a private salon environment. I do NOT have an easy haircut, it's a Pink-inspired fauxhawk that I want to look punky but still feminine and she NAILED it. I'm a client for life! Five stars for Krista at XO! read more

This is a review for the massage therapist, Mary at XO Day Spa. Mary is a wonderful massage therapist! This was my very first massage, and I'll admit to being a bit nervous. I have frequent lower back pain and neck tension so I thought I would try a massage therapist. I told Mary where my problem spots were and that this was my first massage. She was really sweet listening to me and put me at ease right away by explaining her process to me. By the end of the hour I felt so good and relaxed it was amazing! I can't wait to go back to have a massage done by Mary. I highly recommend the experience. read more

Shari is the absolute best in the biz!! She knows how to make you feel comfortable while getting a colonic! She's personable, affordable, available and flexible! I love her!! I'll never see anyone else for Colonics and I'll follow her anywhere she goes! Xo read more

I've come here to eyelash extensions done by Justine a couple times now and they are amazing! She made them look perfect-- I've gotten so many compliments on them! Justine is super sweet and she knows what she's doing. Very professional and laid back atmosphere :) I got a groupon initially, and then after my first set of eyelash extensions, I purchased a set of 3 refill appointments for groupon price. It was a super good deal, and I love not having to put eye makeup on every day! read more

I have been in the search of a nail technician who listens to my preferences, when it comes to the many tools used, as a sensitive client. Michelle Martinez is a great listener who made me feel relaxed, while maintaining a professional atmosphere. She considered my requests for length left on my nails, bc of the extra cushion of flesh at my fingertips. I really appreciated the accommodation. Her basic pedicure included an Epsom salt scrub, infused with lavender, eucalyptus, & spearmint. OMG, my feet are still tingling from the circulation! I enjoyed her little foot bath with a textured basin and bubbles. I was secured w seeing how she fully washed and sanitized it before & after its use(I'm nvr sure about those built in tubs). She set up her disposable exfoliating pads in front of me, & packaged all other materials used, in a take-home bag for me. Usually, when I get a pedi, the massage is something that feels like it's part of the protocol. When Michelle grabs my feet, I become aware of tension signaling throughout my body. There is something intuitive about the way she knows how much pressure to apply to any point, as a release felt inside the body. I can still feel the deep relaxation instilled. When it came to my nail art, I told her I was doing a photoshoot, & she gave me an example of styles she could offer. I chose a swirly variation of 3 colors and a fine glitter to accent a metallic vibe. Michelle took the time to give clean edges & set a proper drying time. I am so pleased with the outcome. I asked her questions about XO spa, & the services the many solo practitioners offered. Michelle spoke highly of her coworkers, and gave me a little tour of their facility & offered cards & info. It was a great experience! read more

See all

I was contacted by the owner Wendy after she read my review. She was awesome and helpful. She seemed genuinely concerned about my business. She explained to me that Justine no longer worked at her salon and was an independent contractor. She gave me the new contact information for Justine and even offered to give me a free eyelash appointment to make up for my negative experience with Justine. Now That is true customer service! THANK YOU WENDY. read more

I went to XO Day Spa when it was still in PB for a few microdermabrasions with Wendy and was thrilled by the results!!! Wendy was really easy to talk to and you could tell that she really knew what she was doing. My face felt and looked amazing! I would highly recommend Wendy at XO! read more

I drive down from Vista be Wendy the owner is the best Esthetician that I have ever had. She does a great Micro Dermabrasion Pumpkin Peel. My skin always feels incredible after. The store is clean, quite and professional. I always feel welcome and relaxed when I come there. They even have parties to showcase their products. You should check them out and give Wendy a try for sure. You won't regret it! They are very affordable. They also carry the Clayton Shagal product!! read more

I went a got my haircut today by Marie. She was VERY sweet and did an excellent job at cutting my hair exactly the way I wanted it. Everyone in the salon was nice and chatty. I am definitely going back. read more

Shari who is the colon hydro therapist is absolutely amazing! I don't go to any of the other services there but Shari is great. It's in a great location and she is very flexible with her scheduling. I've seen so many colon hydrotherapists but she by far the best I will follow her wherever she goes. read more

This review is only for their mani/pedi service. Wendy, the owner, is very friendly. The mani/pedi lady is also friendly and nice. However, if you are looking for a high-end nail service, this place is not your typical nail salon. No massage chairs (they only use those portable foot spa basins). They have limited nail polish colors. They only have one manicure table. They only have one UV light equipment and the lady squished my two gigantic hands in there (even though i told her that's not ideal). No sunblock to use for the UV light (which is OK since only a few salons I know would have this for their customers). Gel manicure products is probably cheap as my nails was not smooth and pretty at the end. Therefore, we had to re-do my manicure all over again. I didn't like that becausemy time was wasted and my nails are already thin and yet i didn't get the results i wanted. The foot/hand massage was not something i would consider massage. It took me a while to write this review because the ladies that work there are real nice. However, i'd like to warn other customers looking for a great mani/pedi service as this is not the place for it. I felt like it was a waste of money and time. My nails weren't even pretty. There is a nail salon that i found near XO Day Spa that is truly worth my money. I would probably try the facial service with Wendy though because i heard it is relaxing. read more

I have been going to Wendy for a while now and I love her. She is so sweet, attentive and caring. She is also very flexible and accommodating about her schedule. I have had to change my appointment several times and it is never an issue for her. Now about her facials, the results are amazing! My skin has never looked better and it is thanks to her. When I have skipped or gone long periods without a treatment, it shows. I never skip a treatment now. Go see Wendy. She is phenomenal! read more

Went in for my first colonics ever and Shari was fantastic! One of the nicest people I've ever met! Made me feel super comfortable throughout the process, she earned my business for sure! read more

I just got my lash extensions done by Justine and I'm in love! I used a Groupon for the haute mink lashes and I've officially converted from synthetic lashes to mink. She did a great job on my lashes. She was super friendly it was like talking to an old friend. If you want great lashes and a good convo go see Justine! read more

I highly recommend the hair stylist, Marie. She is great at color and gives a great hair cut. I have been seeing Marie since a friend recommended her and have been pleased every time. I get lots of compliments on my hair since I have seen Marie. read more

This is a long overdue review for Justine. She did an amazing job on my eyelash extensions and is very sweet. I didn't realize how far the shop was when I purchased the groupon though, or I'd definitely be a regular. read more

I first visited XO day spa about 3 weeks ago to use an eye lash extension groupon that Justine was running. I had never had them done before but was very happy with the outcome! My eyelashes look amazing and Justine was phenomenal. I would highly recommend making the drive out this way to get great service in a lovely little spa. read more

I definitely WAS NOT a fan! On the website this salon is made out to be a high end salon, but when I walked in there were 2 ladies and a customer sitting there gossiping and only 2 nail stations. I went in to get the hydration pedicure and since they don't have a spa pedicure chair I was stuck in an uncomfortable office desk chair for the duration of my pedicure and had to strain my legs to keep them where she needed them. She used a foot bath identical to the ones you can get at walmart for $15-25 so no jets and the water was cold after about 5 minutes. She only had about 20 nail polishes to choose from so I ended up with a color that I don't even like. Online it showed the pedicure I chose as a 75 minute pedicure with a sea salt scrub, callus treatment with warming mittens, a deep tissue calf and foot massage, and the shaping cleaning and painting of toenails. All I got was a 30-45 minutes long pedicure that felt like I were doing it at home by myself. No sea salt scrub, and all the shea butter treatment was was her slathering my legs with lotion then laying a dry cold towel on my legs for 5 minutes while she gossiped more. SUCH a waste of money. I wanted something relaxing to treat myself but all I got was cramps from holding up my legs, got to soak my feet in cold water, and got an average paint job that I could have done. Definitely would not see me at this place ever again. So disappointed. I could have gone to a cheap nail salon and gotten a way better pedicure for half the price! read more

Tonya is the best. I have gone to quite a few salons in my time and none of them compare to this place. She took the time to educate me about the process and also gave me tips on maintenance. The wax was almost painless (she offered numbing gel before we got started which I refused, but should have accepted). It was a good experience and I will definitely be coming back regularly. read more

I got a massage from Stacey and I keep dreaming of the next massage! I bought a groupon and I was delighted that she was able to give me an appointment right away. I've had previous experiences (with groupons) where I had to wait almost 3 months, and the massage wasn't even worth the wait! I will definitely skip the deals and spend the extra money because the massage is worth every penny! read more

I have followed Michelle Martinez to three different day Spa's and her new home at XO is great. I have had pedicures at various spa's when traveling and Michelle is just the best.I always regret wasting my money elsewhere. When she is done my feet are soft and the polish is perfect and lasts. She is very careful about cleansing the tubs and her supplies which is a must and she really takes time to massage my feet and legs while caring for the toes. I don't do Manicures, but I am sure she is just as good with them. Need a new place in the La Mesa area for Pedicures...look Michelle Martinez up at the XO Day Spa. read more
