I have thick brows that are easy to shape but this person who did mine -- Nahida, threaded my eyebrows too thin and uneven. Her hand also smelled of whatever food she was eating I'm guessing prior. I seriously didn't even want to comment about it but after my service and seeing how thin she did my eyebrows, I am so disappointed. The next day, I also woke up to wounds around my eyebrows :/ overall a bad experience. This was in the beginning of July. I went to a different salon for August and this lady, who saw me for the first time, also said whoever did my brows last made it too thin and unevenly shaped. Now I have to wait two months to grow it back. The salon is great, don't get me wrong. Almost always there is a line so it's not a quick visit. Price is pretty standard for SD. Just saying I hope this person does her job better.

My service was with Rhea, and I had a deep facial cleanse followed by a chemical peel. She did an…read moreexcellent job explaining each step of the process, which made me feel comfortable and informed throughout the treatment. Before starting, Rhea carefully assessed my skin and gave me honest recommendations about what my skin needed--and what it didn't. I really appreciated her personalized approach. The chemical peel was temporarily uncomfortable, but it was absolutely worth it. I've already been getting compliments on how great my skin looks! The recovery took about three days. During that time, it was important to stay out of the sun and keep my skin well-moisturized with Aquaphor. As I applied the Aquaphor, my skin gradually began to peel, the peeling was happening a lot faster on day 3. If you're considering a chemical peel, I recommend planning your schedule around the recovery period and following the aftercare instructions closely, since your skin will be very delicate. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend Rhea.

I've been coming to Avalon Laser for several years now, and as someone who's very picky and has…read morehigh standards when it comes to my skin, this is my go-to place. I originally found Avalon because I followed Nancy from another medical spa. She is absolutely amazing, and even after she moved to the Carlsbad location, I planned to keep following her. But then I won a laser treatment at Avalon's Christmas party, which is how I started seeing Raiza--and I'm so glad I did. What I love about Raiza is that she really listens. She's never pushy or trying to sell you treatments you don't need. She's incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to understand what you're looking for. At 53, less is definitely more for me. I want to look like the best version of myself, not like I've had work done, and she completely gets that. She's given me the best Botox I've ever had using the fewest units, and recently she did my lips. I was nervous because I wanted them to look natural, and she absolutely nailed it. The difference is subtle, but it brought so much balance to my face. I've gotten so many compliments, and no one can quite put their finger on what's different--which, to me, is exactly how great aesthetic work should be. I also have to say that everyone at Avalon Laser is kind, welcoming, and professional. They always have great specials, and one thing I've noticed over the years is that so many of the staff have been there for a long time. To me, that says a lot. Happy employees usually mean a well-run business, and that's something I really appreciate. I can't recommend Avalon Laser enough. If you're looking for honest advice, natural results, and people who truly care about their clients, this is the place.

Being almost eight months pregnant, getting a Brazilian required extra care and patience, as I needed to take a few breaks due to discomfort/pain. Ann was very understanding and accommodating, which made a significant difference. She also made the experience much less painful than expected. Her technique is smooth, precise, and clearly demonstrates her expertise. It's evident that she takes pride in her work and knows exactly what she's doing. In addition to her professionalism, Ann has a warm and welcoming demeanor that makes you feel comfortable right away. I was so impressed that I went ahead and booked my next two appointments with her before my due date. As someone new to San Diego, I can confidently say I've found my go-to wax specialist.

I always like to try a place that provides a service like this at least more than once before…read moregiving a review because different providers give different experiences. I'm glad I held off because what happened to me this time was unprofessional and I will not be returning. I will start off saying that my first time here was a lovely experience with Amy. I got my very first lash lift and tint ever. She was so sweet and the results came out fantastic. I was so pleased that around the 5 week mark I wanted to come back and get my lashes lifted again, the day before leaving for a vacation. Unfortunately I was not able to book with Amy again. I booked a few days in advance with the provider Desiree on Mother's day at 9am so I could get this done early and spend the rest of the day with my mom. On the day of my appointment, my provider texted me at 5 am (4 hours before the appointment) cancelling on me and asking to reschedule. I understand people get sick and things come up, but that's when you need to find a replacement when it's that short of notice. Whether her being sick was the truth or not, cancelling on Mothers day just give the impression you didn't want to come in on the holiday. I texted back and asked if there was anyone else who could do it because I am leaving the next day and I didn't hear anything back from her. I then had to scramble and spend double the amount I was going to in order to find a place that was 1. even open on Sundays and 2. had an appointment sometime during the day. It honestly ruined my whole schedule for the day and interrupted my time spent with my mom. Under normal circumstances and I wasn't leaving for a trip the next day this wouldn't be a really big deal to reschedule. It was just incredibly frustrating. After looking over several other reviews for this place it seems like attendance and being punctual from many employees is not this place's strong suit. If somewhere is charging cancellation fees for clients for last minute cancelling, the providers shouldn't be able to do it 4 hours before the appointment, or if they can't make it, find someone who can step in. I'm very disappointed and do not plan to return to this place even though I loved having Amy work on me my first visit.

I've had this place on my radar for a while and decided to give it a try since my microneedling…read moreperson was unavailable. For my first experience, this was horrendous. I am a Groupon girl and I've had several services from there including other microneedling and this was the worst. First, I was on my way and ensured I was 10 minutes and on my way Melissa texts me that she will be 15 MINUTES LATE. So I get there and I'm waiting, debating if I should leave but I'm already here so whatever I guess. Second, there is very minimal talk and she didn't seem to want to be there, simply "having to work Saturdays and every other Sunday soon because she needs money". Third, there is INSANE road closures and noise with the windows open, there is ZERO chance of relaxing. The service was 45min, yet it took 20 min to numb me and then 5-ish minutes of microneedling itself. The needle depth was set way too high. I should be on 0.5mm it seemed higher based on feeling so much when I was numbed already. The gliding and pressure was too much and yet, I'm almost 2 weeks in and I don't see much of a difference. Lastly, she was rushing through the service I'd assume because someone was late which delayed other services. The movement of the facial, needling and moving stuff around was obvious she was stressed, rushing and not attending to clients. Unfortunately, I will never return, and I'll wait for my microneedling person instead.
