I just had my first facial with Yvonne and I am truly at a loss of words for the experience I had. Yvonne is so knowledgeable in her field and truly caters to the individuals need. I was having a hectic morning and as soon as she started, my entire body relaxed. I've had several facials in the past and this was just far the best I've ever had. It was the products, the essential oils and all the mini massages that she snuck in for me. I look forward to coming back for so many more and am kinda mad at myself that I waited so long. Thank you, Yvonne. I'm on a little facial cloud nine right now. read more

Still going here, still love it! After almost 12 years of seeing Yvonne religiously every four-five weeks, I finally got a facial today. I was completely mindblown. Don't know why I waited so long! Seriously the most relaxing experience I've had. Try it at least once, you won't regret it. read more

Went to see Yvonne for the first time yesterday afternoon. First, I have to give her recognition for being so patient after I circled the block twice and came in a few minutes late. I know none of us here are going to claim to have skin of steel and that everyone is 'sensitive' but my skin is usually very reactive to waxing and shaving. I scar easily and heal slowly. I was stunned by how easy Yvonne's Brazilian is and will definitely be coming back for more. Just walking into the spa is immediately disarming. The room is warmly lit without brightness and there are dressings about to make one feel very cozy and off-guard. Another great mark for Yvonne is that she does not rush you to get into the room or get ready. She showed me where the the things I would need were and let me take the time I needed without even being a presence. Also, she recommended a product for me to prevent ingrown hairs or rash as I am prone to them and I have to say I am very happy with it on my second day of using it. Kudos! read more

I decided last year for my trip to Argentina I was going to get my first Brazilian (haha). I had never been waxed down there before (except for one very painful aborted attempt by myself). I was very nervous and anxious, anticipating this horrible experience. She immediately put me at ease on the phone and when I arrived at Dwell Sanctuary. One cannot help but feel incredibly comfortable with her. No matter how you go about it, there is going to be some discomfort associated with this procedure, however Yvonne is incredibly adept and efficient at it, and successfully distracted me by keeping me engaged in conversation the whole time. Before I knew it, she was done. I have continued to see her (also for wonderful relaxing facials) for over a year now and have referred many close friends and my sister to her as well. read more

It's common knowledge that a girl knows when she's found The One, and ladies and gentlemen, I've found Yvonne. She will be the only woman allowed to inspect my cooch for strays. Upon the recommendation of Ger C., I went to her for my first brazilian, she was as kind and gentle as you could expect considering what she's doing down there. With her comfortable and friendly manner, Yvonne makes you feel at ease given the awkward situation of being naked from the waist down. In addition to her soothing demeanor, Yvonne is just plain good at what she does. She is thorough and efficient, and you're out of that room in fifteen minutes. I can't say it's pain free... (recall again what she's doing) but she makes it as painless as possible. I've been going to Yvonne ever since. Not only is she good, her prices are more than reasonable. I'll be going back to her again and again. read more

Read some great reviews, all 5 stars for Yvonne at Luna Skin and she is just a hop skip and jump from my casa. I got to give it to her, it was the least painful Brazilian I've ever had. I was surprised she was even done, I was waiting for the shock of pain, but it never happened, Yay! Yes, she has another returning client in me =) read more

I found Yvonne through Yelp and was happy to find all the good reviews were true! She's friendly and works with my schedule which can be pretty unpredictable. Most importantly though, my eyebrows which have long been a source of frustration for me look BEAUTIFUL each time I leave. I'm back every 2-3 weeks to keep them looking nicely trimmed and perfectly angled. I was one of those kids with the big bushy eyebrows who was blessed to have a sister introduce her to the concept of waxing. Ever since those teenage years though I haven't stuck with any one waxer for more than a few months because there would always be a hit and miss experience that would cause me to look elsewhere. Especially when they make them too thin! That's the worst! Yvonne knew how to enhance what I had without taking too much off, she just gives them the right shape to frame my face best. When I'm preparing for a night out where I have to look my best, I'm always sure to stop by and visit with Yvonne for some upkeep! :) She's a real keeper! read more

I followed Yvonne from Beauty and Body Lounge to Dwell. The location is set up in a very quiet little craftsman house in the heart of Hillcrest. The location is between Robinson and Pennsylvania with plenty of street parking and also parking in the back alley. Yvonne does a great job and provides not only waxing services but also facials and skincare. She is Anastacia trained and does amazing eyebrows. She has transformed my eyebrows after a previous blunder by another professional. Her prices are very reasonable. I stopped going to the Anastacia studio once I found Yvonne. read more

I have been seeing Yvonne religiously for almost a year now. She is hands down the best!! The brazilians are as pain free as they can get. She is such a nice person and makes you feel comfortable. I also get my eyebrows waxed every 2 weeks and she does a fabulous job. Dwell Sanctuary is a relaxing place to come to and parking is easy--on the street or behind the building. I recommend Yvonne to EVERYONE! She is truly the best and has VERY good prices. read more

I have tried many waxers in San Diego and no one beats Yvonne. NO ONE. I found her when she was working at Beauty and Body Lounge back in 2006 and I have been her customer ever since. Thats SEVEN years and counting.....I refuse to go to anyone else that I even went to her house and got a wax during the time she was waiting on her new shop. She has great bedside manner and does a very thorough job. She not only does amazing waxes, but she also does awesome facials. I have recommended all of my girlfriends to her, paid for suprise first time brazillian wax birthday presents, and ALL OF THEM have become regular customers of hers and referred their friends to her as well. We all love her and are happy that she is the only one with the honor of seeing our collective female parts on a regular basis. Once you go to Yvonne, you never go back. Real talk. read more

Yep, Yvonne is as good as they say! I went for a Brazilian - 1st time and she was professional, thorough, and (god bless her) quick. She also offers 10% off your next appointment if you rebook after the service. (BTW I did rebook) Thanks Yelpers - you helped me find Yvonne. I can't imagine how it could be better except if it were painless. Painless is 6 stars... read more

Yvonne is the BEST waxer, in life! I've been going to Yvonne for over 2 years now. I met her when she was at Beauty & Body Lounge and I followed her when she decided to part ways with them. I'll follow her wherever she goes! I'm sure you can agree that waxing is not the most comfortable thing in the world but Yvonne will make you feel at ease. If you want clean, thorough, and beautiful.. Yvonne is your girl!! read more

Best waxer EVER!!!!!!! There is no doubt in my mind that Yvonne Luna has some magic formula that makes Brazilian waxing a non-painful, even pleasant experience! She is a great girl, super friendly and happy, she works in the best place ever - The Dwell Sanctuary - her prices are extremely fair, and she does the cleanest wax you will find. Not a stray hair in sight! Your search is over, you have found the girl you need! read more

I have been going to see Yvonne for about 6-7 years now, and I couldn't imagine going anywhere else! Her schedule always works with mine perfectly! My eyebrows always look amazing because of her! I always feel so comfortable with Yvonne! She is the best! read more

I have been going to Yvonne for about 4 years now and I have nothing but good things to say about her! I love her! She is my "Go To" person for all of my waxing needs and my eyebrows have never looked so good! She is very professional and makes you feel very comfortable. She works quickly and efficiently with her brazillian waxes. The week before my wedding I was so stressed out and she went out of her way to see if any of the massage therapists at Dwell Sanctuary had an opening for me. (they were all booked, but it's nice that she put forth the effort!). I always recommend her to all of my co-workers and friends and they always come back satisfied. In the past 3 years I have even had 2 friends move up to the Bay Area and they both complain to me that they cannot find a waxer as good as Yvonne. She is just great at what she does and I would definitely recommend her for all the ladies that need to get cleaned up for bikini season!! read more

Yvonne is wonderful! She's as nice as can be and great at what she does. Her business is very pretty, quaint and an overall soothing place to be in. I prefer a smaller business for skin care and waxing rather than a large, busy spa environment - I like seeing only Yvonne, it feels more personal and comfortable. I highly recommend her and am so happy she was recommended to me! read more

OK so this is my long over due review for Yvonne. I forget how long I have been visiting her but I am another one of those people who followed her from B&B lounge. Yvonne is not only professional but she really knows what she is doing. I regularly get Brazilians, eyebrows, and facial. She is an expert at her craft! Her rate is very very fair. It is actually way less expensive than most places ($35 for Brazilian). The place is Carlsbad charges up to $75! ridiculous! Her clients are super loyal to her for a reason. I commute 30-40 minutes every 5 weeks to visit her. SOO worth it! Some of her clients from Texas and Arizona also visit her when they're in town. crazyyy I think she works every day on the weekdays except Wednesday. highly recommend Yvonne. read more

So So Happy that I found Yvonne! She's the best. I was in search of a eyebrow & bikini waxer for years. I tried a few others & was going to Pretty Kitty for a while. No real complaints on pretty kitty but they are no match for Yvonne. Yvonne has great bedside manner & totally puts you at ease...it's not the most comfortable procedure! & my eyebrows...UH-Maze-Ing...I have this one crazy eyebrow that has a spot where the hair doesn't grow...I don't know what she does but when I leave there I have celebrity eyebrows...Beautiful!! read more

Yvonne is great at what she does! She's been taking care of my brows and skin for years now. Plus her space is super cute, I highly recommend! read more

I've been going to Yvonne for waxing for the past 10 years! She's THE BEST!!!!! I refuse to let anyone else touch my eyebrows! She re-shaped mine and I get so many compliments! read more

It's very simple, Yvonne is the best. I've been to numerous places for waxing, brows and brazilians, and Yvonne is the by far the best. She's meticulous and really knows what she's doing. She's also very nice, easy to talk to, and has a good sense of humor :) I moved to LA last summer and have been missing her ever since. I recently went back to SD for a visit and was lucky enough to see her again! She will be a must-see whenever I'm in San Diego. :) read more

Yvonne is FABULOUS! I have been a going to Yvonne for years now. She is sweet, friendly, professional, puts you at ease, takes her time, and has wonderful attention to detail. Her Banker's Hill office is open days, nights, and weekends - to accommodate all schedules - with plenty of metered and free parking spots nearby. I highly, highly recommend Yvonne for waxing and facials (which come with shoulder and feet massages). read more

Yvonne is professional and her space is cute. She does the little extras that make the difference between a bikini wax and a good bikini wax. Highly recommended read more

I love Yvonne!!! I've been seeing her for the last 5 years for all my waxing needs. I have been to others for waxing, but Yvonne is the best! She's super skilled and gentle, and takes her time paying attention to detail. Her new office is also lovely! Super cute and very peaceful. And Yvonne is such a warm, caring, down to earth person. I always look forward to seeing her and our conversations as much as getting my services. I highly recommend Yvonnee Luna Skin!! read more

Yvonne is the best in San Diego! Professional, clean, very detailed, and works well with my schedule! Have been a faithful customer for almost 3 years! read more

Been going to Yvonne for about 5 years now and can't even imagine going to anyone else. She is professional, friendly, fast, and has an exceptional bedside manner that totally takes the sting off a normally super-painful bikini wax. Her facials are also wonderful; she is thorough and gives the best foot rubs while the masks are drying on your face. read more

I'm very particular about how I like things done and this includes a little design which requires a bit of artistic ability, nothing crazy but an eye to make things as even as possible and aesthetic to the eye, after all what I walk out of there with I'm pretty much committed to for the next 4 weeks. Yvonne took her time, checking in with me regularly to make sure we were both on the same page and I got what I wanted. She even went as far as to use tweezers on those stubborn hairs that aren't quite long enough to get pulled by wax and she trimmed up the chosen strands that were to remain. The spa was clean and had a really great energy to it. I felt relaxed immediately upon arrival. Yvonne stepped out and gave me a moment to get situated and then got started. I left feeling all shiny and new and smooth (my favorite part)! I will definitely be back. She also give a 10% off her already very reasonable pricing if you book your next appointment that day! I'm so glad to have found my San Diego waxer! read more

I have been seeing Yvonne for many years now. I've followed her from previous locations because she's the best. Super clean. Super fast. Super friendly. She's always got the best prices too. I would recommend anyone looking for a wax to visit. read more

I also found Yvonne when she was at Beauty & Body Lounge. And have been going to her for years now. Her business space is clean and gorgeous and so tasteful. She is meticulous and professional. I feel so comfortable with her. She is always doing something to improve her space or her service. She is really wonderful. I highly recommend her!!!! read more

I've been a loyal client of Yvonne's for the past 3 years and counting. She is professional, personable and knowledgeable in her trade. I regularly get Brazilians, and am most satisfied with her flexible schedule, comforting atmosphere, and appropriate rate. Whether you're a first-timer or long-timer, Yvonne's the one to call. read more

Just had the best facial ever! Extremely relaxing. Yvonne has a wealth of knowledge about skin care. I have very oily and acne prone skin. She knew the best products to use. Looking forward to seeing how my skin reacts to my new regimen. I would highly recommend Yvonne for facials. read more

If you want a down to earth, super professional and talented esthetician, look no further!! Yvonne has studied under Anastasia in LA and has made my sorry thin eyebrows into runway brows!! I have been seeing her over the past 3 years and have been thrilled with my results each and every time!! She is kind, SUPER clean, reliable and works me into her schedule always. Her NEW salon is located conveniently to down town SD, Hillcrest, Bankers hill and CORONADO where I live! Give her a call....you will be so pleased!! read more

Yvonne has been shaping my brows for going on three years and I can honestly say she is the best esthetician I have ever been to! When i first met Yvonne my eye brows were sparse and misshaped. In a matter of months she transformed my face by reshaping my brows and taught me how to keep my skin healthy to promote proper brow growth. Now I am constantly getting compliments on my eyebrows, something I NEVER dreamed of before I started seeing Yvonne. I have been seeing Yvonne religiously over the years, and despite my recent move to Orange County I still commute to San Diego every two to three weeks to see her. Yvonne has an amazing eye for symmetry and balance, she is truly an artist! I also see Yvonne for brazilians, where she puts you at complete ease and gets the job done quickly without leaving one stray behind. Not only is she a miracle worker with a pair of tweezers and wax she gives an amazing facial that leaves you purified and glowing. Finally, she is such a sweet and kind person, a joy to be around. I truly look forward to my visits with her. read more
