Arrived at 12:50, door is locked. Called and texted no answer.. it was hot so I waited in the car for another 30 minutes trying to reach the business for an answer. Left at 1:45 :((( Still no reply read more

I was looking for a new aesthetician and found Aura Skincare through Yelp. I have seen Helen about four times now and I can see why she has 100+ 5 star reviews. She is very passionate about what she does, makes you feel very comfortable, and is a super cool person. After her facials, my skin is always glowing, and feels so clean and refreshed. I would definitely recommend visiting her for your skin care needs. Thanks Helen! :) read more

I just want to start off by saying how AMAZING Helen is!!! From the start I called in the same day to book an appointment for a facial for myself, my sister and mom. Once we arrived our temperature was taken and we all sanitized our hands. Super clean and safe place.Everything looked spotless and They were followimg the CDC guidelines. Helen's mom was super friendly as well! Helen took her time to analyze my skin. She asked the right questions and left my skin flawless!! She recommended what my skin needed and gave me tips on how to maintain this flawless look. I 1000000% recommended her hands down!!! She is the BEST esthetician I have ever been too! I can't wait to come back to her. I definitely recommend her to everyone!! My mom and sister were both happy with their facials as well! Thank you Helen! read more

Aura Skincare - Before and after - Skin Care Near Me - Covina, California

I LOVE HELEN!!! Omg I can't praise this woman enough. She is the sweetest thing ever and is very honest about what she recommends for your skin. With her experience, she could tell by my forehead what kind of treatment I needed hahaha. I didn't even have to take of my mask. She recommended microdermabrasion since it's been years since my last facial and she really took her time to clean my face. I got so many compliments already and people asking where I went. With covid and wearing a mask all the time, my skin took a beating with small breakouts here and there on my chin/nose area. She cleaned all of it so throughly. I highly recommend Helen!!! I can't wait to go back and I will refer her to anyone who wants to look 21 again. I was literally glowing when I left. read more

Had my first ever facial done here with Helen , she's a nice and sweet lady and make sure you get the right treatment. my skin feel so smooth so I decided to try the microneedling . Can't wait to see the results. :)) read more

I had a really good facial. Atmosphere was quiet and clean. Prices were adequate. My aesthetician was very friendly.

5/5 experience coming into Aura to see Helen and her mom. I called for a same day appointment for me and a friend and Helen and her mom were able to accommodate last minute! Arrived in the afternoon and got the best hour facial experience with Helen while my friend had her mom. Helen was professional, funny and super fun to chat with the entire time I got a facial. She educated me on how to properly moisturize and take care of my skin and explained every bit to me as she was working on my face. My skin was super dry so I felt brand new coming out of there. Felt like I was chatting with an old friend the entire time. Facilities are beyond clean and there is plenty of parking in the plaza you don't have to stress about it. My friend said Helen's mom was also the sweetest. I plan on bringing snacks/food next time I come for them they are so nice. I am excited to come back before the end of the year to get a follow up! Thank you HELEN AND MOM! read more

Wow wow wow. Helen is the best. She's so knowledgeable and beyond friendly. My skin is so happy. Trust me you won't regret coming to her. Thank you Helen. I will keep coming back. read more

Aura Skincare - Glowing after my amazing facial. - Skin Care Near Me - Covina, California

Wow- BEST FACIAL EVER!! After going to overpriced skin care salons and spas for years a friend of mine recomendable Helen, the owner of Aura Skincare. I have gotten the best results with micro needling with stem cells, I started getting this years ago and all the sudden it just started getting very expensive. Upon entering this adorable salon, I was guided to the most comfortable chair I had ever laid in for anything - I asked " is this a foam memory bedding? She smiled said " yes" why wouldn't everybody do this? I then spent over an hour while she meticulously did the treatment. She ended with a lazer treatment that sealed my face ( why doesn't everybody do this?) by the way, I drove over an hour to get this, and I've already made an appointment for next month. If you want the best facial ever. at a very good price - book Helen at Aura - I can just say, thank you! See you next month! read more

Helen was amazing! I needed a facial and she accepted me last minute. The facial was not rushed and I felt rejuvenated after. Helen has a great personality and makes the experience both relaxing and fun. Will be back. read more

I've held off from getting a facial for yearsss due to past experiences causing me to break out. I decided to treat myself to a facial today and I'm sooo glad I did. Helen is very professional, informative, kind, gentle, funny& sweet! I received a custom facial with a detox mask as she recommended. She made the experience so calming& comfortable for me. The place was spotlessly clean &bed was comfortable as well. Helen left my skin feeling amazingggg. I even got a compliment on my skin the SAME DAY!! I definitely would recommend her to everyone. I can't wait to go back for my next facial, thank you Helen!! read more

I am a first time customer and I have to say, I WAS IMPRESSED. I absolutely love the fact that they are so knowledgeable and use organic products as much as possible. My History: I have had acne since I was 8. Now I am 20 with an oily skin. I have been to multiple Estheticians and dermatologists. I have tried everything ranging from antibiotics, topicals, injections, multi-varied facials, chemical peels AND laser surgeries. For the past 6 months, I have clear skin, but since temperatures have risen, my acne came back. Treatment: I had the Aura Acne Facial. Usually after a typical acne facial, my face feels clean, but painful and dry (even with hydrating products) after extractions. With Helen, my felt truly clean and refreshed. My face did not feel sore from the extractions. One of the products Helen applied was coconut oil and I could NOT stop smelling my face! Professionalism: There are two Helens, but they are both mother and daughter who owns the business. I did my facial with the daughter. Helen knows what she is doing and what she is talking about. Not only that, she gives good aura, kind and is very friendly. She is tough when it comes to extractions, but she effectively knows how to clean my face. Location: You would have to look closely. I used my iPhone's map app to locate it, but you would have to look closely because it is in the middle of a shopping area. Spa and Salon Ambience: In the main room, the room is bright lit because of the sunlight, but the setup is beautiful. The bathroom is VERY clean. I am absolutely in LOVE with the facial rooms. I absolutely love the dim-lit and calming music. I was very well-impressed of the decor, structure and ambience of the business. I felt very comfortable and at ease. Overall Experience: I love it and will definitely be coming back! :) read more

See all

This was my first visit to Aura. I went in for a facial and came out glowing and confident. Helen was awesome! I know my skin is a work in progress and so I already made my next appointment. I trust Helen to do the treatments and help me accomplish my skincare goals. I highly recommend Aura Skincare! read more

I cannot wait until I can see Helen again. Please tip your facial, nail ladies/gentlemen, massage therapists and hair stylists WELL when they re-open because they deserve it! Anyway, I was never a huge facial person but I am glad a girlfriend introduced me to Helen. My first visit with her was definitely one of the best 2 hrs spa experience I've ever had. Helen is super friendly and she took the time to examine my skin prior to the facial. She gave me the rundown of what she can do for my skin that day, and explained different regimens we can try in the future should I decide to start a routine. I struggled with acne in my 20s and have some mild acne scaring. Even I have only visited Helen less a handful of times, I have noticed a difference in my skin texture. I hope to return to my routine very soon when LA re-opens! read more

I'm a 65 year old guy and was looking for some advice on how to care for my aging skin. Well did I ever hit the lottery finding Aura and Helen. Her treatment was the most relaxing, enjoyable and healing experiences I have ever had. Her CBD oil treatment seemed to have restored much need moisture to my dry wrinkled skin. My skin is noticeably improved. Thanks Helen! read more

First time at Aura and I'm so excited I found a new spa for my facials. I had an amazing experience with Helen. She was very sweet and made me feel comfortable the entire time. I left feeling rejuvenated, exactly what my face needed. Thanks again Helen, I can't wait for my next visit. read more

Helen is the best esthetician ever! And on top of that, she is the best friend and mother/sister figure you can have! She is so fun to be around, and will make sure your skin is doing fine! Schedule an appointment with her today, you'll have trouble finding someone else as good as her! read more

What can I say, I'm hooked! I started coming to Aura almost 2 years ago. The friendly and professional service is top notch. The extra attention and care given to me as a customer is always appreciated. Let's face it, none of us are getting any younger. So taking care of our skin is important. Aura Skin care and Salon has helped me with my personal goals of taking better care of my skin, making me feel more confident with my appearance. I recommend Aura to anybody that cares about the overall health and appearance. Thank you Helen! You are an amazing person. read more

This review is LONG overdue. I found Aura on yelp (of course) many moons ago. I came in and was treated like royalty. I had the most amazing facial and I didn't want to leave. Helen is one of the sweetest people you will meet during your time on earth. The salon is so clean and cozy and once you slide into your bed for your facial you will have entered heaven! Your skin feels and looks so good when she's done but more than that your spirit is also satiated. Helen has a way with people and when you speak with her it feels as if she has known you for years. It's very soothing to speak with her and she just makes you feel at home. I cannot wait to return and my skin is counting the days too! read more

Absolutely fell in love with this place. Great facial experience, i have dry skin and now my skin is glowing and feels smooth. I'll be back next month. I totally recommend this place read more

I had such a great experience with my custom facial with microdermabrasion at Aura, all thanks to Helen. She was so sweet and so careful with everything she did with my face, letting me know what she was going to do with me before she actually did it and always making sure that I was comfortable, like asking whether or not I was claustrophobic, which I am not, because she warned me that the face mask would cover my eyes and lips. When I got there, I took a short survey about my skin type and daily/nightly care routine and she examined my face before we began to see how she would go about treating my face and she did an amazing job using organic products on my face that only she trusts and everything that she used smelled really nice. The place is nice and clean, by appointment only, so it was not noisy during my session, making it nice and calming. The room where I got my facial was a nice size and well-organized. I pointed out to Helen how comfortable the bed was because I sunk in and felt so relaxed. My skin tends to be really sensitive and dry and altogether a huge insecurity because of how cautious I need to be with what I use on my face because of uncertainty of a bad reaction, but this was not at all the case and as for my skin; my face felt so clean and hydrated right after and the next day, I received some compliments on how my skin looked noticeably better by a few of my friends and my confidence was completely boosted. The price for the service that I received was shockingly inexpensive (I got the custom facial with microdermabrasion and she massaged me and put these stones on my chest while the face mask was sitting). During the extractions, I was scared because I have a pretty low pain tolerance, especially when it comes to my face, so I expected there to be way more pain than there actually was; Helen's hands were so soft and gentle on my skin, again adding to the relaxation I was feeling. The microdermabrasion, which I was the most hesitant about because I did not know what to expect or how my skin would react, ended up being my favorite part of the whole facial; the suctioning feeling was indescribably satisfying. It was something that I had been really wanting to try for a while, but was too afraid to try again because I never know how my skin will react to something new, but I am happy with the results and it was very well worth my money. It was obvious that Helen was not just trying to get me to buy a bunch of products after my session, unlike a lot of salons and spas I have been to before who just service me and really push for me to buy products that I am unfamiliar with. She gave me free samples (a tinted face sunscreen and a night cream), which I have been using and loving and I have been taking her very detailed advice to maintain my healthy skin. I felt comfortable with her right when we started, she was so genuine and clearly loves what she does and it showed in her work and her vibrance with a new customer. I went home and went on and on about how great my experience was and my mom, who is not always so easily convinced to try the new things I try, was persuaded and she scheduled her appointment with Helen right away, and after her session, she had nothing but positive comments, similar to mine, and I noticed right away that her wrinkles were a lot more calmed down than before. Helen did not even have to recommend that I go in for more sessions before me asking to come back again because I already knew that I wanted to return for more(and the same with my mom). Overall, I am way more than satisfied with my experience and highly recommend for a relaxing day off at an reasonably priced, clean and relaxing spa like Aura. read more

Update. Just had a CBD facial from Helen. I have to say, WOW! Though my skin isn't stoned (sad,) I will say it's looking better than ever. If you're looking for this kind of CBD treatment in the SGV, I don't know why you'd go anywhere else. read more

this was my first facial treatment and helen was the perfect person to treat my skin. she was very open and friendly and she definitely knew what problems i had in my skin and gave me so much advice with treating my skin in the future. everything was clean and sanitatized and ready to go. not only i was excited to see the results, but she was excited as well. we had many conversations during the treatment and she was definitely a great person to talk to while having your facial treatment. the price was not bad at all. it feels like she's giving a $1,000 fancy facial treatment, but in reality it was cheap. she blew me away with they products she used and for that, i am definitely coming back. helen was so amazing and i'm so glad i came in there to get my first facial treatment! read more

I have going specifically to see Helen about my malasma, she has worked wonders. She is up to date on the latest esthetic care and goes above and beyond to get results. Strongly recommend. read more

HELEN IS THE BEST! I would totally recommend! Prices are reasonable and appointments are always on time! I found Aura Skincare on YELP 2 years ago. I went in because I had really bad skin clogged pores and cystic acne & Helen did her thing and wow was it a game changer! 10/10 recommend! You will not be disappointed read more

I've been looking for a place to get a facial, mostly for my acne/acne scars. I've tried everything from Proactive to Obagi, nothing has worked. So I decided to look up a spa that does good facials and Aura day spa and salon had just what I needed. I called and right away I was able to make an appointment that day. I was excited but still skeptical if it was really going to work. This place is kind of like hidden but not hard to find, I walked in the place is very clean and nice. I had the pleasure of meeting Helene the owner of the place and Helen (her daughter) who does the facials. She was very welcoming and she was interested in what I wanted to get out of the facial. I explained to her my frustrations of trying everything to clear up my acne and she totally understood me. The room for the procedure was very relaxing and comfortable. I was excited to get started and Helen just works wonders. She is a very KNOWLEDGEABLE esthetician. After just a couple of minutes of explanation about things she was going to do I totally trusted her! 2 hours later.... my face felt awesome, it felt soft and I felt rejuvenated. Its just my first treatment and I really enjoyed it, I can wait to go back for more! FYI: There's a lot of estheticians out there that have their license, but Helen has a lot of experience in the field and she probably has seen/treated just about anything and everything. She knows what she's talking about no BS at all. She also uses ORGANIC products only! So you wanna be treated right? make an appointment with her. :D read more

I absolutely love Helen, I went in on Friday looking to get some information on microdermabrasion because I have acne scars. I was however concerned about starting on Friday because I had a party on the the next day and knew I was going to spend time in the sun (research I did online said to stay out of the sun for 24 hours after). She said it wasnt a problem, she would give me some sunblock for face for the next day... I went ahead with the 1st session and my scars are already visibly lighter! Helen was awesome through the whole procedure, explaining what she was doing, what products she was using, how to care for my skin, etc.... I can't wait to go back for my next visit.... P.S. I did tons of research online before picking Aura, and this place was well worth the time to find. read more

I've been coming to Aura for a couple months so far to receive facial treatments on my face and back to clear up acne and problem spots. After a couple sessions, I finally feel like I've found a spa that I can trust going to. Helen, the esthetician, has done wonders to my skin. She gets down to the knitty gritty, literally, and gives 110% focus and attention to doing an awesome job and ensuring a satisfactory spa experience. Not only is she very knowledgable with the all-natural products and methods she is using, she really offers the best non-BS advice for improving your skin. I can't wait for my monthly facial treatments because of Helen! My skin has improved dramatically and I finally feel prepared to hit the beach or pool now that summer has arrived. Thank you Helen! read more

I cannot believe I have not written a review for Aura Salon yet! Let me just start by saying that Helen is a godsend and she literally uses magic! I have been going to Helen since I was in high school and actually found her through Yelp. I've always dealt with acne prone skin and have literally tried EVERYTHING you can think of and nothing has ever worked. Until meeting Helen! She uses the best of the best quality products that are actually meant for your skin to target any imperfections or anything that you want to work on. Although I did stop going to Helen for awhile just because I moved and couldn't finically do it as a broke college student. But when I moved back I started going to her to get my facials again because I was now starting to deal with hormonal cystic acne that was so painful and again nothing that I used seemed to work! But once I saw Helen, she worked her magic and has helped my skin tremendously. We worked on just calming my skin down and all of my blemishes first, and just a week ago we started on micro needling to help with scarring, and WOW I don't think I have ever felt more confident in my skin! Helen really has helped not only my skin but my confidence as well, and I'm so thankful for her! She gave me an easy skin care routine to follow at home that has helped keep my skin in check as well. 10/10 without a doubt would recommend Helen and her salon, love her! read more

My first facial session with them was back in February and I decided to go again in August. From both experiences, I definitely enjoyed my time there. Helen is very knowledgeable about the skin and how to take care of it. Also, she is such a sweet and kind person. When I was looking for a place that aligns with my beliefs of using an all cruelty-free skincare products, Aura Skin Care & Salon showed up! Helen is very passionate and shares her beliefs about using the best products for her customers. I am very impressed and satisfied with my results. I am going back soon for sure! read more

Only a month before my wedding and my skin (face and neck) were a disaster. Helen came to the rescue. A mix of organic treatments, microdermabrasion and many years of knowledge as an esthetician really made a difference. Helen is always learning about skin and new treatments. She helped me come up with a plan to calm breakouts and redness. I really can't thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone. read more

What a great place tucked away in West Covina! It's like a gem that you should try if you need an amazing facial. I've been coming here since its first location and am never disappointed! Helen the esthetician is such a professional, understanding, skillful and works with me every couple of months to refresh my skin. When I walk out I'm always glowing for a week! Currently we're working on anti-aging to repair years of sun damage on my neck. I can't wait to see even more results. The price is good for what you get. She's a pro and the store is super clean and nice. You'd pay 2x as much on the west side! Oh yea the products are amazing as well. They aren't cheap but they are very natural. This spa used mostly organic type products on the facials. (I'm not sure about the hair & nail products). If you're unsure just ask, they know their stuff. Happy facials! read more

I found this place a few years ago when it was located on Hollenbeck Avenue. I have one word, well a few, for Helen, but the most important is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. Helen is THE most wonderful lady I have ever met, and the service she provides is more than excellent. Is there something more than that? I don't have the opportunity to go there as often as I would like, but whenever I call or text Helen for an appointment, she never fails me. ME time with Helen is the best, she certainly knows how to pamper you, helps you relax, all the while cleaning those stubborn pores and what nots on your skin to leave you with a great clean, and bright feeling and look on your face. Both Helen and her daughter are very knowledgeable on all beauty stuff, and the rest of the staff is also great. I've also gotten a couple of the best pedicures there. read more

I had been looking for a place to get a facial as the person I was going to closed her shop. I bookmarked Aura based on their Yelp reviews and finally decided to make an appointment, I'm really glad I did! Right away I could tell I would be coming to see Helen on a regular basis. Helen is knowledgeable, took the time to ask questions about my skin & my goals, and tailored the facial based on my responses. All the products she used had a good clean smell! By the time I left my face had a nice glow to it and she sent me home with some samples. They are by appointment, and do accept debit card. read more

Completely recomend this place. Clean and only by. Appt. My face was glowing after wards.

I came across the spa through yelp. My sons senior prom is a week away and his skin needed some help. Helen was able to accommodate us as a last minute appointment. She was really patient and understanding. I was worried about the treatment since I didn't want any reactions to his skin prior to his prom. She reassured me and really made me feel comfortable. The products she uses are organic and great for sensitive skin. This was essential since my son has a combination of acne and dermatitis. He had a facial and microdermabrasion. It has been two days since his facial and his skin looks great! The extractions were a bit uncomfortable; however, they were needed and really worth it. I look forward to taking my son again and buying her products. Thank you Helen! read more

Always a pleasure to get my face hydrated, cleaned and have a chit chat with helen. Helen and her mom are very very good at there job. I always come back to them. They make you feel at home. Pay them a visit because you won't regret it. All my family comes to her because we love her service. I don't think I can ever go to another Esthetician. read more
