This is a very long overdue review for Nurse Gardenia.. she is AMAZING!! I've gone to her to her a couple of times and looking forward for the next one. All of the girls are always very friendly, welcoming and professional, I've never had a bad experience. I always recommending Beauty Cult when I get complimented on my lips. I have natural full lips but wanted a little bit more volume and Nurse Gardenia did an amazing job! I also love that she recommended I don't do it again anytime soon because I really don't need to! It's not about selling but about doing what's best for the client, and that's exactly how they work here! read more

First time ever getting microneedling and I'm so glad I came here. From the moment I walked in, the staff tended to my every need. From hydration to all information. Dr. Yu and Shane were so friendly and welcoming. Nurse Gardenia was amazing. She made sure I was comfortable through my entire treatment. She answered all my questions and was confident in all her knowledge. I will absolutely be coming back for another treatment and maybe expand on different skin care! I couldn't have asked for a better first experience. Photos are before treatment and just shortly after. read more

Going back to nurse Gardenia!!! Happy for my next treatment. She is so nice, welcoming, knowledgeable and never pushy with any procedures! Tender and so warm!!! This review is also way overdue! read more

Ok - I am 100% a believer now! I used to be skeptical and a little anxious of Botox and medspas in general, but after booking my first consultation and meeting with Dr. Clara l, I am so much more at ease. I felt comfortable that I proceeded with Botox at my consultation appointment. I'm loving the results and felt even more at ease at the follow up appointment. Everyone on the team is friendly! Would highly recommend. read more

Don't waste your money going to this place... customer service is good but the products are not if you want to see results this is not the place you want to go.. read more

Have been going here for my Botox and fillers for a couple of years. I love it - always a parking spot and the med spa is clean and cute. Nurse Gardena is the best she is always on top the latest and greatest injectables and will always give an honest opinion. I always leave there feeling 100% and looking great too! All the girls that work there are just the sweetest! Thanks for making me feel and look great! read more

Gardenia is the best. Always does an awesome job and doesn't try to upsell me unnecessary treatments. She is reliable, trustworthy and highly effective. I've been going to her for years and have had Botox and micro-needling treatments. read more

my experience is always incredible and you guys are just my happy place. I've never had to wait. I'm always letting everyone know with confidence they will have the same experience. read more

I had my very first Botox experience with Nurse Gardenia, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better introduction. From the moment I walked in, she made me feel incredibly comfortable and at ease--especially important for someone who was a little anxious about the whole process. Gardenia took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly and never once made me feel rushed or pressured. I told her I wanted a very light touch, and she absolutely delivered. She even walked me through the differences between the units listed on the package insert and the customized units she recommended for my specific facial features. It made me feel so confident in her expertise. She was super mindful of my age and went light, just as I asked. Now my forehead is smooth, taut, and has that lovely shine without looking frozen. My crow's feet are barely visible, and everything still looks incredibly natural--no one would ever know, just that I look super refreshed. I feel AMAZING, and I'm beyond happy with my results. I would 100% go to her again and will be recommending her to absolutely everyone I know. Gardenia is the absolute best! She's so sweet and genuine. All the stars for Beauty Cult and Nurse Gardenia! read more

I'm in my late 20s and have been getting preventative "baby botox" for the last 2-3 years on my forehead and 11s. "Baby Botox" means getting a lower dosage so I can still look natural with slight movement in my face. I don't like my face completely frozen, but some women do which is totally cool too! I've been going to Nurse Gardenia for the last year, and she's very gentle and doesn't pressure you. I get Dysport which is a different brand of Botox but it all works the same. Everyone I meet doesn't believe I get Botox because it looks more natural than a Khardasian. I love how smooth my forehead looks! Tip: You get a small discount if you book your next appointment at the time of your appointment. read more

Had the best first botox experience here at beauty cult! Dr yu, nurse gardenia, shane and all the staff made me feel so welcomed and safe under their care! Professional and clean/ aesthetic environment. They make sure you're well taken care of through the whole process. Would definitely recommend for first timers to come here! read more

Dr. Yu is amazing! I love that she's honest with what would be best for each client. I shared with her my concerns and we came up with a plan. She does amazing work and I always walk out so satisfied! The staff is so friendly. It's so nice to walk into an office where everyone has a smile on their face and is excited to be there. I highly recommend visiting Beauty Cult!! read more

I came to Beauty Cult about 5 months ago asking for a very natural Botox result and was clear that I didn't want too much product. Unfortunately, the results were the opposite--my eyes felt very heavy, I looked frozen and overdone, which made me uncomfortable. I brought this up respectfully and professionally, and while I appreciated that they refunded less than half of what I paid, I left feeling disappointed. After some time passed, about 3 months, and the Botox wore off, I actually liked how it looked. So I reached out again, thinking I'd give it another try considering Gardenia was very sweet--this time requesting half the original dosage and communicating clearly what I wanted. Surprisingly, I was told they didn't feel they could meet my expectations and was encouraged to go elsewhere. I find this response unprofessional and frankly, personal. I came in with reasonable expectations and was polite throughout. It seems that my earlier feedback--though kind and respectful--was taken the wrong way. At this point, I can't help but wonder if the refusal to treat me again has less to do with expectations and more to do with profitability. The more units used, the more money made--and perhaps a lighter, more conservative approach just isn't worth their time. I'm sharing this so others who prefer a subtle, natural look know what to expect in terms of both treatment and customer service and to make others aware of how feedback might be received. read more

I feel like this should be my 85th review of Dr. Yu! At least it should be! She is an artist. There are no other words. I am highly self- critical and have been on the Beauty train for decades. I've seen everyone including the crazy expensive doctors in Beverly Hills that you see all over Instagram. SHE IS BETTER. Her technique is subtle yet effective. She listens to every word you say and spends every minute necessary to make sure you look fantastic and feel fantastic. I just can't say enough. Love, someone who's not easily impressed. read more

The absolute best and extremely professional. Nurse Gardenia is such a sweetheart! She eased any anxiety I had about the process, really explained everything and any future procedures that I would want in depth. You do not feel rushed you really feel welcomed. The reviews do not lie. The staff is amazing! I look forward to coming back thank you all for making my first visit truly special. I appreciate all of you. Thank you! read more

I had my first appointment with Dr. Yu a few months back. She was very attentive to my areas of concern and provided clinical input. I left the office being very happy with my results. The office staff are very friendly and helpful too. Highly recommend! read more

If there was an option to rate beyond five stars.. this would be that moment. I've been to many med spas from BH to Calabasas- I have never felt more safe and personally acknowledged. Gardenia has the softest touch. Subtle, natural and builds self confidence. You won't feel a thing with the highest quality technique. You are in THE BEST HANDS. Shane and Clara thank you for offering the best experience and I will be back, from the moment I walked in to leaving feeling rejuvenated. Trust the process and you will never forget that feeling good sets the tone for both mental and physical health ... kinda crazy read more

I've been coming to Beauty Cult for a while now and I swear my experience keeps getting better and better. I've been seeing Nurse Gardenia and she's amazing. She listens to my concerns and always recommends the best service to meet my goals. She always makes sure that I look natural and not over done. I've never felt pressure to get something that I don't need or that I'm not comfortable getting done. The girls in the front are also amazing and are always very sweet and attentive. This is why I will keep coming back. Thank you Beauty Cult! read more

Cannot recommend this group of skilled ladies enough! Dr Yu did my Cosmelan treatment for my stubborn melasma, and RN Careese and RN Gardenia corrected my under eye hollows with filler and administered Botox for my crows feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles. They are friendly, listened to my concerns, were patient with my fear of needles lol, and overall wonderful. They took their time with each treatment and never rushed. They have made a lifelong customer out of me. Check out by before and afters! My melasma was so intense! read more

The whole ambience of this office is perfection, it's so cute and you can really see all intentions and thoughtfulness that goes into decorating the space and the snack/drinks station for clienteles. I always have such an amazing experience here and feel so well taken care of. The girls who work here are so sweet and welcoming - they make you feel at ease. I've had two services done by Nurse Caresse and also the owner Clara, herself! I can't say enough great things + recommend them enough! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Ive been going to Beauty Cult for about 5 years now and about 2 years with nurse Caresse. She is the fairy godmother of my skin!

Love coming here! All the doctors and nurses are exceptional. They take great care of their patients and I always leave so happy.

I was referred to Beauty Cult by my friend and I will definitely go back again. I booked the consultation with Dr. Yu online. Daisy from the front desk texted me the confirmation and communicated with me to make sure everything was all situated. Marlene assisted me with my check in paperwork and photos when I arrived. The consultation with Dr. Yu was simple, easy to understand, she gave me options & suggestions. My botox results are very natural and saw positive results pretty much the next day. I had a very positive experience here with everyone. The office is clean, very inviting and a warm atmosphere. Thanks for everything!!! read more

Got my lips done by Dr. Yu and I LOVE them . I'm 51 and requested a natural look with some plumpness. This photo was taken the day of so I am still waiting to see the final results. Dr. Yu is kind, friendly, honest and she takes her time to answer all questions. I have been getting Botox with her for some time and could not be happier . My Botox looks very natural and is exactly what I was looking for. read more

Beauty Cult - Lip filler - Medical Spas Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I've been going to Beauty Cult for seven years, and I can confidently say it's the absolute best in Southern California! The entire team is incredibly genuine, honest, and truly prioritizes your well-being and goals. (Nurse Gardenia, Dr. Clara, Shane, Marlyn & Daisy are phenomenal) They never try to upsell or take advantage of you--they genuinely care about making sure you feel comfortable, informed, and confident in every decision. My dad got Botox for the first time today, and I got filler, and once again, the experience was amazing. The environment is so positive, welcoming, and professional, and the results speak for themselves. This is such a special place & it's not very often you walk out of a medical spa feeling rejuvenated from all the positive energy. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my face! If you're looking for expert care with a team that actually has your best interests at heart, this is the place to go!!! read more

I called the office and was warmly greeted by Nicole, who patiently helped me find an appointment that fit my schedule and thoroughly explained all the details. During my visit, Caresse provided exceptional care, answering all my questions and concerns with professionalism. She was transparent about pricing and recommendations, making the experience seamless. I'll definitely be returning--thank you, Beauty Cult! read more

Such a beautiful and great clinic to come for all your beauty and wellness needs. Caresse was my provider and she went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and explained all procedures very thoroughly. Highly recommend! read more

LISTEN! I drove over an hour from the other side of yonder to visit Dr. Yu. Long story short, I had a few experiences that didn't turn out the greatest because of desperate attempts to restore my unique under eye trough area. Some doing and undoing left me feeling terrible and lacking confidence. Dr. Yu was an INCREDIBLE listener, she was not pushy, showed empathy, and very patient! She even went as far to explain things to me at least 7 times after I kept asking her to confirm we were on the same page and that I understood. I was IMMEDIATELY pleased with the difference when we both thought nothing could be done! But the alternative solution made a big difference! One side of my face which seemed deflated from previous dissolvent (and what I considered my "good side for photos") was restored! She was also able to reduce the MAJOR eye bag on the other side of my face. Dr. Yu took her time, used the filler (Restylane Lift/Lyft) very conservatively, little by little.. I left so happy! But then I went to my car and noticed some minor swelling... So I went back in about 5 minutes later to ask Dr. Yu about it and she was so patient! Even stepping away from a snack to let me know everything would be fine -- which it has! I think I have found my beauty consultant --- FINALLY! And her ENTIRE team is so professional! I can't wait to go back to her when it's time again. Thank you Dr. Yu! read more

Absolutely LOVE Beauty Cult!! 10/10 would recommend!!! Definitely hard trying to find someone you can truly trust with your face, look no further , Beauty Cult will take great care of you read more

Love Love Love! So far so good. I was looking for a place for beauty treatments close to my house in Redondo and with good reviews and where I liked the experience. Gardenia was my nurse both times so far and I love how she works, so knowledgeable and patient and listens to your goals! The staff are also so friendly, Daisy is so friendly and nice and I have never felt "sold" on anything which is refreshing! Everyone in here looks amazing so I'm just trying out things they recommend and I'm excited to see how great my skin can look P.S. I decide to try Botox for the first time here and Gardenia started me off slow so I could feel it out, which I loved and within a week I was already so happy with my results, what I feared has come true that I love it and will def be back. read more

The staff is very friendly, they were on time,They reviewed my medical history with a nurse practitioner answered all my questions, gave me treatment options, explained each one of them to me, gave me information about others they offer, In general, they were knowledgeable about what they offered. They also had different payment options. They met my needs. And, as a bonus, they have Spanish-speaking staff. read more

I initially visited Gardenia for a Botox treatment but I was also concerned with my lip filler that I had gotten done else where in North Carolina. I knew something wasn't right but I thought my lips looked better than they were prior so I didn't mention anything. However, Gardenia's keen observational skills and deep understanding of her field allowed her to identify the problem on her own. I listened to her advice, she administered a treatment, and I can honestly say, I see a significant difference after 6 hours. I'm now hopeful and looking forward to seeing my natural smile return. If you're in search of a specialist who's not only highly skilled but also detail-oriented and genuinely caring, look no further than Gardenia. Her knack for spotting and addressing issues that even the clients might miss is a clear indication of her expertise. read more

I have gone to see Dr. Yu to have PDO threads done and I absolutely love the results. As a returning patient (first time in late 2020 and second time in February 2023) I don't see myself going to anyone else. Dr. Yu answers all my questions and concerns, is delicate as can be during the process, and is patient with me if there are any issues. I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking to have PTO threads done. The threads give me the look that I want for my under chin area to tighten up some loose skin but more importantly, give me a more snatched look. This will definitely be my go to beauty secret for the next couple years until I have to go under the knife. Also, her staff is amazinggggg.... Daisy gets 5 stars as well read more
