I've got facials from Vicky from 2021-2023. She has a private studio that is very cute. No guests are allowed though so keep that in mind. Her prices are very affordable in my opinion and her facials are very informative and relaxing (minus the extractions part bc those definitely hurt lol). She walks you through every step which is appreciated. The only reason I stopped going to her is because I moved and it's not as convenient for me to see her anymore. If you're looking for a good facial at an affordable price it's, definitely give avocado beauty bar a shot! read more

I have nothing but AMAZING & positive things to say about Avocado Beauty Bar! Vicky is the absolute sweetest and amazing aesthetician. She listens to your concerns, applies the needed treatments & makes you feel your absolute best after every visit! Thank you, Vicky, for reminding your clients the importance of self-care! read more

Avocado Beauty Bar - Estheticians Near Me

Such amazing service! I got a facial and head massage and my skin felt glowing after! Vicky is great at listening to your current skin care routine and giving you some tips based off of your problem areas and what you want to improve on. She doesn't force any specific product or anything expensive and focuses on how you can improve your skin regimen with the products you are currently using and gives advice on small changes you can make so that it is easy to stay consistent and see results by sticking to an easy regimen. She did a great extraction of my clogged pores and used a tool to clean the bacteria before putting on a cooling mask and the head massage was to die for. My skin felt revived and moisturized after. A great value for your money and a great treat yourself without breaking the bank read more

Belated review, but I can attest that the perfect ratings are absolutely true. Vicky was the first esthetician I had that I adored through and through, and her expertise was an absolute game-changer for my skin. I was recommended her through one of my good friends back in 2021, and I still try to see her whenever I'm back in town. I also used to drive ~4 hours round trip in a day to see her, because she's genuinely that good. Vicky built her own cute little spa space, and it's so therapeutic to be there. It's a pristine space, and she takes all health cautionary measures very seriously. She's incredibly professional and knowledgeable. You know she's 10000/10 when you need to start booking her out months in advance. Let's talk about her work -- Vicky has an impressive clinical background working with dermatologists, so she has a command of skincare beyond cosmetology. As a researcher myself, I really appreciated that she keeps up with papers on the latest skincare research. Her work is backed up with scientific findings, and it makes me feel good trusting my skin with her. I just have her do whatever she feels is best for my skin, and it feels amazing every time. Vicky uses dermatology-backed products that she doesn't actually push on you (but I would definitely recommend that you take her up on recommendations). I had a really simple routine after seeing her, so it actually felt a bit more economical. I've also never had anyone be more gentle yet effective with extractions (I usually cry so, so much, but I don't with Vicky). My skin feels like it can really breathe after every single session, and I don't have much redness/swelling issues afterwards (another thing that usually happens for me elsewhere). I can't stress how much of a difference Vicky has made for my skin. Let's talk about Vicky as a person -- she's an amazing human being who ends up doubling as your therapist (not saying you should treat her like a therapist, but being around her is so therapeutic). She's such a warm, empathetic soul, and the highlight of my sessions with her are just getting to talk to her. You can tell how hard she works and how much she cares about helping her clients and connecting with them. It honestly feels like you're hanging out with a friend and getting your best skin yet out of it. I'm forever rooting for her success because she deserves it so much. I can't gush about Vicky enough and recommend her to everyone in OC. Her prices are very fair, and I would trust her with my life in general TBH. Can't wait to be back in OC to see her again soon! read more

I've been to 2 sessions with Vicky and I can already see a tremendous improvement with my skin. I was looking for an esthetician when I stumbled on Vicky's instagram page (with the cutest logo and branding)! My skin at the time was very congested and had a weak skin barrier due to using harsh actives on my dry skin. I also struggle with post-acne redness and hyperpigmentation and occasional breakouts. After the first session, I could tell my skin felt a lot smoother and less congested. My skincare was actually absorbing into my skin instead of sitting on top of all the dead skin. The occassional breakouts reduced tremendously as well. Vicky is the sweetest person that genuinely cares for your skin journey. She doesn't try to sell you any products and encourages you to use what you already have to maintain a consistent routine that works for your skin so you don't continue coming back with the same issues. She also reviews your current routine for you! Vicky listened to my concerns and reccomended treatments I wouldn't be able to do myself at home. I can tell she is very knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. Everyone's skin reaction will be different, but I can say with confidence that you should take a chance in booking with Vicky! At an affordable price as well ;) read more

LOVE this place! I found her via IG and decided to treat a friend (and myself hehe) for her birthday. We just got the basic facial to kind've figure out what we specifically need. It is in a singular room at someone's home, but it was private and decorated nicely. Vicky is the esthetician and is incredibly professional. The bed is comfortably and everything looks and feels clean. The sessions last about an hour, and the first time I went with a facial Vicky talked about skin in general, what she felt my skin needed, recommended products, and what she was doing. She has a soft voice that's relaxing with the ambience of everything. She also gave the BEST head massage ever. She'll answer any question you have, follows up via IG, and is overall just a wonderful experience! Definitely treat yourself!! read more

Thank you Yelp for another great recommendation! Vicky is an awesome esthetician. She is very personable and definitely loves what she does. After reading the reviews on Yelp and looking for a trustworthy esthetician without all the unnecessary upcharge, I'm glad I found Avocado Beauty Bar through Yelp. Upon finding Vicky's page, I saw it was best to message her via Instagram, so I located her page and reached out for an appointment. Prior to the appointment, Vicky will send all the details in advance of what not to do before your appointment with her. Upon arrival (her home), we walked to a cute little back house where it was nice and tidy. Talk about creativity and cleanliness! (: Before starting, Vicky made me feel extremely comfortable with going over the process and closely examining my skin to educate me on the processes. I was very comfortable and relaxed during the facial and even more so during the head massage! The whole first visit was about an hour and $55(Avocado Signature Facial) + tip (don't forget to tip!) for the basic Avocado facial. This included double cleansing, extractions, electrical bacteria killing, mask and awesome head massage. Prices might vary on your skin, so don't expect it to be the same for everyone. I would definitely recommend everyone to get their skin taken a look at Vicky as she truly is charismatic, friendly, and energetic with working with you on your skin care journey. From my experience, Vicky isn't like other estheticians that try to upsell any products which I appreciate as that was always my anxiety with going to get facials. I already have my next appointment scheduled and am happy to have found my new esthetician! Thanks again, Vicky! read more

Just got done with another facial with Vicky today. Outstanding. That's what I've gotta say. Been seeing her monthly now for just over a yr. She's as caring as ever. In her own little personal spa, located at a residence. Don't let that fool you. Its ooooone of the most thorough skin care regimens you can at this kind of price in this days!! Knowledgeable. Kind, warm and attentive. Concierge style skin care. A true talent with her skin care product, touch and application (face/scalp massage technique that is phenomenal!) If you haven't tried her, give her a chance. She will win your heart. Vicky is truly a provider of the self care arts! read more

Avocado Beauty Bar - Facial day!! Thank you Vicky! - Estheticians Near Me

I've been seeing Vicky every 4-6 weeks for 8 months now and have noticeably more radiant skin. She has been such a huge help in curating a unique skincare routine out of the products I already own to best suit my skin and keep up with a home regimen that compliments my monthly facials. I look forward to our appointments together for such a nice treat, as her head massages are EVERYTHING. From start to finish her business and service is a 5/5. She's on-time, communicative, professional, warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful but not 'sales-y'. Her space is private, clean, temp-controlled, and cute. Her products, treatments, and gadgets are high-quality and the service is well worth the affordable price with extractions, a bacteria killing device, O2 infusion for the hydrating facial, a scalp massage, aromatherapy, spa music, SPF, lip balm, you name it! read more

When I first went to Vicky, I had never gotten a facial before and I was a bit nervous. I was interested in skincare, but I didn't know where to start and there were too many things to learn that I got overwhelmed. Vicky was so kind from the minute I met her and I felt comfortable instantly. She started asking me about my skincare routine + what I had issues with and she was able to customize my facial from there. She was so gentle and the detailed, and I loved how knowledgable she was. And her products smelt AMAZING! The second time I went, she was even more knowledgable with EVERYTHING and recommended the ingredients that my skin needed + some options for products to use. I think it's incredible how she can look at my skin and tell what I do (and what I don't do ) just by looking at it. She is definitely my skincare fairy godmother because she has made my skin SO much better. I always leave feeling super refreshed and my skin feels amazing. I love feeling confident in my own skin and it's all thanks to Avocado Beauty Bar! I definitely recommend her to everyone because she's so detailed, knowledgable, helpful, and passionate about skincare! Bonus points bc her aesthetic is so pretty! read more

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE! I have been going to Avocado Beauty Bar for over a year now, and I have noticed significant improvements to my skin texture and acne scars. Consistency is key, so I try to schedule an appointment every month! After every session, I felt as though my skin was revived and glowing. Vicky is so gentle and the facial treatments she provide are all so effective. I personally enjoy doing "The Pit Remover" for blemish/acne-prone skin - which also includes this awesome high frequency tool. The newest treatment I have done with her was dermaplaning, and my skin has never felt so soft and smooth. There are plenty of different add-ons you can select, like hydrojelly masks (my favorite) or microdermabrasion, and even a EUROPEAN MASSAGE! Every session is such a relaxing treat for myself. Vicky is my one and only trusted esthetician. I promise she will take care of of you. I will definitely continue to come back and highly recommend visiting her! read more

Avocado Beauty Bar - Avocado Beauty Bar Room - Estheticians Near Me

Honestly, if I could give more than five stars I would. Vicky is super professional but also human!! Most facials I've gotten feel super transactional and just get me in and get me out. BUT this was not the case. Vicky and I talked and she gave great advice, not just for my skin, BUT FOR LIFE TOO. She let me know what I good be doing more of and what I should be doing less of. She was a recommendation from a very good friend of mine and I will be recommending her too. I loved every moment, she told me what she was doing, and how it was beneficial for my skin, which was really informative and calming. Anyways, this was amazing and I can't wait until my next appt. read more

I've been going to Vicky since August 2020, and let me tell you what a journey it has been! I first started with very dehydrated skin, lots of texture, and common breakouts. Now that it's been about 2 years going to see her every month, I have never been so confident in my skin before. I used to be so insecure, but Vicky is super knowledgable and really showed me how to really take care of my skin. You won't see a straight difference after one appointment, but the key to your skin goal is CONSISTENCY at home everyday until your next appointment. It took a while for me to get where I am now, but I can't thank Vicky enough for making me feel so beautiful in my bare face. I hardly want to ever wear make up anymore! I highly recommend Vicky for any facial needs, you will love her as much I do! read more

It was my first facial experience and I absolutely adored Vicky and my time with her. :) She's the best and everything you could want in an esthetician: friendly, passionate, honest, sweet, thoughtful, intelligent, hardworking.....the list goes on. :D I'm also in awe of the way she explains things, whether it's about the steps of the facial, or about life experiences. My skin was glowing after our session and I feel amazing. :) Thank you so much, Vicky. read more

Vicky is amazing! I will drive from SD to get spoiled by her! My face deserves nothing but the best! So Avocado Beauty Bar does it for me. Clean, relaxing, and just a wonderful experience. Extremely reasonably price and she genuinely cares! Highly recommend and I will definitely be back. She is a vibe and I'm here for it. read more

Vicky is THE BEST. I've been going to her for the last 6-7 months and I can confidently say my skin has never looked better! After my first appointment, Vicky helped me start tweaking my routine with the products I already use/had on hand, and I began to see results almost immediately. She has a wide range of knowledge when it comes to high end skincare products to drugstore brands, so everything she has recommended for me has worked wonders on my skin (without breaking the bank)! Not only is she knowledgeable about all things skin & skincare, but she is also an incredibly kind human being. I am so sad to be moving out of state because I will miss Vicky's expertise and conversation, although she assured me I can always use her as a resource and to contact her with any questions I might have tldr; Vicky is an incredibly talented esthetician with a wide range of knowledge about skin and skincare products. My skin has changed drastically in the last 6 months of seeing her. BOOK WITH WITH THIS SWEET GIRL ASAP! read more

Vicky is extremely professional, clean, organized, knowledgeable, and kind! This was my first time getting a facial treatment ever and I'm so glad I scheduled it with Vicky. She offers high quality services at an affordable price. I truly felt relaxed. I opted for the Signature Avocado. I would highly recommend this service if it's your first time. I have sensitive skin, but the products used on me were great. I definitely felt and saw a difference after we were finished. I'm looking forward to seeing Vicky again soon :) read more

No visible change in skin texture or glow that I could see. Not going again. Sorry about that! read more

So happy I found Vicky's Avocado Beauty Bar! Originally I was going to seek a dermatologist to help my skin, but I wanted to cleanse my face too. It was my first time here and got the signature avocado facial. Vicky is knowledgeable, honest, and sweet! She explained what seemed to be going on with my skin and cleansed it to have a good foundation. For me, this facial included cleansers, extractions, and high frequency. She was so thorough with the cleansing, and educated me on each product she was using and what it should do for the skin. I also had the hydrojelly mask with LED light to help calm my skin afterwards and fight bacteria. It was a great experience! She also tweaked my skincare routine after I sent photos of the products I have. She reminded me to be consistent with my skincare routine as skin products take a couple of months to really see a difference. Will definitely be seeing her again! read more

I have now been seeing Vicky for over a year and my opinion of her has not changed. Personable, knowledgeable, caring and amazing. I still see her once a month and look forward to seeing her because it feels more like two friends catching up. I really wish I had taken a before photo when I first went to see her, but my skin is so much better than it was when I first sought her out and I know it's because of her guidance and of course the monthly facials. You get all you need and more in your session, it is well worth the cost. read more

Vicky is amazing!! I've been here 3 times now & she always is so precise and gentle with my skin! Today I got the Hydrating Facial because my skin has been extremely dry lately. I also added on the Hydro Jelly Mask as well! After the facial my skin was revived again! I also got dermaplanning done for the first time & it made a huge difference on my skin texture, it's completely different from "dermaplanning" at home! If you've been wanting to do this the right way, definitely do it here!! read more

Avocado Beauty Bar - Estheticians Near Me

I am so happy that I get to make this review! I won an Instagram giveaway which allowed me to try Vicky's services, and it was such a joy to experience. First Impressions: Vicky was so kind and communicative! She readily worked with my schedule and was super flexible. I explained my skincare concerns to her and she helped me select a package that worked for my skin. Overall Experience: 5/5 I'll admit, I was having a little bit of anxiety on the day that I went because I've never had a facial before! I've had some skin troubles before so I'm always a little nervous to let others interact with my skin, but Vicky melted those worries right away. She was bubbly and easy to talk to, and gave plenty of good advice regarding skincare and next steps. She explained what she was doing as she was doing it and made my skin feel so great! Service: 5/5 Vicky was professional and knowledgeable. She was also very interesting to talk to, and I really enjoyed learning about her professional journey which got her to where she is today! She definitely has older sister vibes which I love Atmosphere: 5/5 Her space was small, but clean and nice to be inside! Everything seemed pretty tidy and the bed was comfortable to lie on. As soon as my appointment was over, I told my boyfriend what a great time I had! He said he's definitely interested in trying his first facial with her too sometime My skin has been super clear and I have noticed reduced acne scars since my time here. I can't wait to schedule my next appointment! read more

First time getting Vicky's signature facial a few days ago and I loved it. Vicky was very welcoming, warm and made me feel incredibly comfortable. The space was cozy, clean and super cute. She was very professional and extremely knowledgeable. My face felt great after and I left inspired to commit to a better skin care routine . Will definitely go back and highly recommended! read more

There's a reason why appointments fill up so quickly! Vicky is super sweet, knowledgeable, and gentle with all the services she provides! Like most of her clients, I've been going to her for about a year (she's just that good!) and I consider it one of the few things I look forward to each month. It's a facial and therapy all in one; I always leave feeling refreshed, replenished, and satisfied! I always give Vicky full control of my skin whenever I come and my skin looks better every time. I've gotten so many compliments on how radiant my skin has been and I have Vicky to thank for! I love how I don't feel rushed and how intimate my experiences have always been because skin is so important for women. The calming music always puts me to sleep and the head massage at the end is to die for. Please do your skin a favor and try Vicky's services! read more

A healthy skin oasis I've been coming to Vicky for about a year and it has been the best experience and investment. She is so consistent, informative, and is happy to answer any skin care questions. I look forward to my facials filled with great care, music, and conversation. 100/10 recommend read more

I love Vicky!! She's so sweet and really takes her time to treat your skin. She's also very knowledgeable about what she does so you can definitely trust her! Most of her services can be found on her instagram so definitely check for her rates on there and she responds quickly if you have any questions. 10/10! read more

It was my first time and she made me feel super comfortable and at ease. Would go again!

New favorite spot! I have been looking to get a facial for a very long time but I didn't know where or how to begin. I also didn't want to be spending bank on a facial either because of maintenance. Fortunately, I found this place on Yelp! The facials are so affordable and there is a type for each skin type. Although the hours say weekend only, you can find Vicky on instagram and she can give you more times that she is available throughout the week! She replies pretty fast so you will get a fast response. Her little studio is at her personal home and she has a little area in the back that is specialized for her facials. Vicky is extremely nice and friendly. She is very informative and cares for each of her clients throughout the process so don't be scared! She is very gentle and kind. I really enjoyed my first facial and I came out of my visit more knowledgeable about my skin! I would definitely try her out! read more

My experience with Vicky wasn't my first facial, but it was the first time I ever felt so comfortable with someone touching my face. I truly believe in the first five to fen minutes, you can intuitively tell when the experience is going to be good. Vicky was honestly professional amazing during my facial.As someone who doesn't know much about skincare, she really gave in depth explanations throughout the session and her hands may it be during the extractions, head massage, or application of products were gentle from beginning to end. To be honest, I was so relaxed that I may or may not have been paying attention only because I was so so zoned out (in the best way LOL). However, I can absolutely testify that she knows what she is doing. read more

Not only is she the most sweetest, genuine soul, Vicky is extremely knowledgeable in her work. She has the passion for skincare and will customize skin treatments specifically to you. When I first came to her, my skin was dull, pigmented and acne prone. Per her suggestions and treatment plan, my face is now glowing and even toned! Do yourself a huge favor and book a relaxing session at the Avocado Beauty Bar! read more

Had an amazing facial here a few weeks ago and had a really lovely experience. Learned a lot about my skin and products that I should be using. Cannot wait to come back for my next treatment! read more

If you're looking for an amazing facial, this is the place to go! Vicky really takes care of you and makes sure you're comfortable & relaxed during the session. A good friend of mine recommended going to her over a year ago & I've been going to Vicky ever since. I honestly really can't picture going to anyone else. Not only does her facials make my skin glowing, she also gives helpful tips on how to take care of your skin and what products to use, etc.! I like getting the Avo Hydrator facial treatment which is ideal for dry or dehydrated skin. I also added dermaplaning and an European massage to my last session for the first time & it did not disappoint! Ever since finding her, I definitely noticed significant improvements to my skin & I feel so much more confident! THANK YOU VICKY FOR THE INCREDIBLE SERVICE! read more

Vicky is amazing! She's incredibly thorough and helps answer any questions you have. I felt so refreshed after my facial. Would definitely recommend! read more

I have gotten facials from quite a few people and I really like how she does hers. My face felt the softest it has felt in years, just by going one time. The price is very affordable compared to a lot of other estheticians/spas, and she didn't try to sell me anything (even though I still bought an SPF moisturizer), and any recommendations she made were things I could get from a drugstore or not have to totally change my routine for. Personable, knew what she was talking about, and kept me comfortable the whole time. Can't wait to make this a monthly thing. read more

I'm a very high functioning guy, but i never have time to take care of myself. That's the best thing about Avocado Beauty Bar. With ABB I don't need to worry about all the face services and face products that's out there. They take care of my face, so I can worry about other areas of my life. I come here once a month, and I highly recommend it! read more

If I could rate this more starts I totally would!!! Vicky is hands down the BEST esthetician out there (and I'm not exaggerating hehe)! She walks you through everything she does and does an amazing job while doing so. From the beginning all the way until the end her work is consistent and great, doesn't rush you at all and answers all the questions you have. Def will be returning & recommending! read more

I would recommend anyone to go to Vicky! Her quality of work is defined in so many ways. I came to Vicky because I knew I had to start young with skin care to avoid the difficulties later on. Every session I went to, she explained to me what she was doing clearly and is most knowledgeable in her work. She showed me different types of products to try out that could possibly work for my skin as well as being able to treat my acne spots that I always had a problem with. Coming out in every session I feel so refreshing and therapeutic with her work. Highly recommend anyone looking to replenish their skin and start feeling young again with Vicky! read more

This was my first time doing a facial witch Vicky, and I have to say the experience was the best! She truly knows how to treat her clients with respect and care. The facials were nice and soothing, I'm excited to see the results of my skin care journey with her. She is very knowledgeable about the skin. I learned so much. Thank you Vicky! read more

I don't even know where to begin but first, let me say this: Avocado Beauty Bar is SOOOO CLEAN!!! I am a clean FREAK and I always pay close attention to cross contamination when it comes to facial bars. If you are a germaphobe like me, or won't let anything touch your face unless it's yourself, then this is the place for you. Second, Vicky actually CARES about my skin, I don't feel like another dollar sign, and she makes my experience feel like a full self-care luxury treatment!! She doesn't rush when doing my facials, and she's SUPER GENTLE and CAREFUL. A lot of my past experiences have been rough handed. Lastly, Vicky takes time out to educate and inform me about my skin, what I must do and what's best for it, since everyone is different. This is very important to me on a personal level, because developing and improving a relationship with my skin is required for longevity and self-care. Pricing: The affordable pricing makes it possible for me to go every 2 weeks. I am extremely strict when it comes to my skincare schedule. I used to spend about $500 a month for 30 minute facials at a dermatology center. At ABB, I spend a little less than $200 a month for 1 hour facials with the best care and high attention to detail! My skin type: I have dry skin & the pit remover along with the hydro jelly mask + high frequency add-ons are my go-to. My face gets smooth and hydrated, like I went through a deep-cleaning. I honestly feel like I have celebrity Bella Hadid skin when I apply make up to my face the next day lol!!! My experience: I've been seeing Vicky for over a year and I've noticed incredible changes. Looking back at old photos in comparison, my skin has never looked so good, and I had no clue it could get to where it is today! Although I don't have acne and my skin was initially clear/smooth (so I had thought), getting routine facials not only cleansed my face, but it also changed my life by boosting my overall confidence. After being informed and educated by Vicky throughout my facials, I am no longer neglecting my skin! I'm so glad she is my esthetician because she made me realize the importance of self-care, skin maintenance, and SUNSCREEN!!!! Thanks to her, I picked up long term healthy habits that are beneficial to my skin and overall health. 10/10 read more

Book your appointments now before it gets full each month! Vicky does an amazing job! She's very passionate about skin care and gives really good advices for skin treatment. Vicky has helped me a lot with my skin problem and now my face feels more refreshed and healthier! During your session, she will provide a steamer to your face which helps opens up your pores and loosen all the dirt on your skin, and applies facial/exfoliation on your face. You will also be given a jelly face mask and a really nice massage! Vicky I can't thank you enough, I'll be sure to come back again for healthier skin! read more
