I highly recommend Chakra Esthetics it's not only a great experience but an awesome facial Thanks Angela :) read more

Hmm, well after meditating for 15 years and getting 2/3 through the "intake form" ...the honest reads here are "extremely regimented", "stifling in approach" and "exquisite need to control my environment and outcome". The intake form ultimately tapped me out, turned me off -- sent the dinero in another direction. Ask me about my skin ? Sun and cleansing practices ? Sure. Allergies ? Yeah, to a certain extent. But H to the E to the L to the no I'm not listing every single allergy I have. And as an intuitive / energetic offering...this is a bit much. If you're intuitive enough to disallow cell phones for crystal health -- listing every single allergy is unnecessary overkill. Never been asked before, never had a reaction in 30 years of facials...and allergic to tons. You know what a client's got going on if you're reading energy, and it's hard to believe any offending products are even used at this joint. For instance, should I really sit here and list every opioid I've ever had an allergic reaction to, even if it's completely irrelevant...or just pass up this maze and get that uber relaxing facial I'm after ? "Would you agree that consistency is key" ? Sure -- and so is self-love, self-care, nurturance and r&r. The summary of this paragraph is essentially "I'm really not for travelers, one-offs or a rejuvenating day at the spa excursions. I want and need you to be committed to myself and my business -- and I'm strongly urging you to agree to come every 4 weeks." Honestly, maybe a subscribers only site would be the best approach for you. "Please take a photo of your skincare" ...Um, okay...But on the real, I don't think an energy healer needs all this clutter around. No, you don't "need" to see it regimented by text message. You think you need to see it, but eliminate the thinking part and true achievement will occur. "Please indicate your understanding"...of my elongated voice. I'm sorry -- wait in my car for 15 minutes in the desert, and text you to come in ? For real ? Don't you think desert life feels oppressed by all that engine idling ? Or have the humans transitioned everyone to EMF overload from electric cars ? Wowzers. I'm sympathetic to covid victims, but state that you are if that's what this paragraph's about. Because post-pandemic it's wayyyy controlling, unless you yourself are immune compromised or you're actively crafting a space for those who are. Schedule a 15 minute appointment to re-up the products I should never stray from, after committing to you ?? And you'll see if you can fit me in to pick them up ??! Good lord girl. I'm about to pay YOU -- are you trying to pay me for those 15 in MY schedule ? Ahem...if your life made you a rich kid on El Paseo -- maybe just install a foyer with an atm and a product vending machine, so as not to be interrupted. Or there's this handy thing called a receptionist... "Required reading" ? Um, okay... "Late arrival policy". Ok...hold up, 10 minutes late auto-cancels the sesh and you get all my skrill and I get nada ? Whaaaaat ? For rill ? In one of the most populous regions of the u.s. this is a little hanal...unforeseen traffic occurrences and fluid shifts in matter are laws of physics. How bout you improvise there magic actress, and give me those remaining 50 minutes I paid for ? "15 minutes before" Um..okay. But do you pay me for those 15 minutes of mine ? Cough it up girl. "Duty to Inform" Hmmm...kind of you. But heads up : "respects your privacy" and "requests full disclosure" is an oxymoronic juxtaposition of polarities, bordering on mutually exclusive phenomena. What about this -- trim the fat and just ask for esthetics-relevant allergies ? Simple...It's a straight up facial already free of oppressive ingredients to its atmosphere. "Cancellation Policy" Mmm, okay. But I'm curious -- why does your life necessitate doubled importance than 98% of other service providers, who require 24 hours ? "Service Upkeep Policy" Yikes, omit this one. You can't control a person's life and fluid / flowing circumstances to this extent... it's just icky, and yes -- leaves an air of exclusivity all over. As if to say : Come to me and only me and if something changes, give me the comprehensive download immediately. Heads up...lots and lots of people come to get a facial just to RELAX. "Children & Guests" ...Ok -- you sure you don't want me to drop off that firstborn ? "Photos" Hmm...like you take my photo before and after with or without choice ? It doesn't specify, except to decline social media. As a photo sensitive -- I would decline all photos. They're a privacy red flag and encroachment on personal property and consciousness boundaries. "Please look for email AND text message"... Hm. So you get to unplug me -- but how about I unplug you ? The intake form maxed the thinking mind, tensed all muscles in the neck, and made me send her to laughter yoga. read more

While the owner called me back after I left a voice mail requesting an appointment , I was asked to fill out a extensive 10 minute questionnaire to see if I was a "fit" For her program. I only wanted a facial. Then she left me a face video explaining the next steps to make a apt . It was so ridiculous all the hoops you have ti jump through . read more

Angela was amazing. The chakra element was really cool. Thanks for a great experience!

Thank you Chakra Esthetics for always making me feel and look better. I always enjoy my experience coming in to see Angela. The services are wonderful and truly unique. I appreciate how above and beyond Angela goes to make me feel welcome and taken care of. :) read more

It is a wonderful experience. Angela is very knowledgable and knows her products and what is best for your skin. It is one of the most relaxing places I have ever done skin treatments at. Best in the desert read more

I've been going to Angela for over two years now, and I can unequivocally tell you that she is the best. The best facial is the best acknowledge the best at answering questions, teaching you to take care of your own skin. She's a one-man show one woman show and she's got it going on. If you need some skin healing and some soul healing she's the one to go see read more

Angela is such a beautiful soul! I was recently looking to switch estheticians and get myself on cleaner, but still medical grade, product for my face. I had a 4 pm appointment and even though there's a lot of preparation for the appointment everything went smoothly and she greeted me with such love! The knowledge she has to help me form a plan for my skin was out of this world. She is so informative but doesn't talk 'at' you so you can ask questions. She has all the top of the line innovative tools and devices - meaning she's doing her homework!! The best part was the environment. She used crystals/stones and sounds healing during the treatment which I had never done before. It was incredibly peaceful and I felt so light after coming out. One last thing - the products she got me set up with (hydropeptide line) are absolutely amazing. She is truly one of a kind and I cannot wait to keep working with her!! read more

Found this place randomly a few months ago while visiting my parents and was blown away! Angela is so knowledgeable about her products and helped my skin clear up! The facial was relaxing and she used products that would work with my skin. She also recommended a line of products that I ended up buying, which I normally wouldn't. A month or so ago I started using the products since my normal stuff ran out. I am so glad I did because my skin looks incredible thanks to the products she found would work with my skin. HIGHLY recommend this place over the big spas in the area! read more

What a great experience today...Thank you to my daughter in law for gifting me a facial.ANGELA IS MULTI DEGREED AND MULTI TALENTED IN ESTHETICS AND KNOWS HER PRODUCTS.She personalizes the service after an in depth skin survey asking all types of health concerns and questions. The product line is all natural scents are fabulously yummy. Especially the cucumber toner and pomegranate deep scrub left my skin healthy and invigorated.She has earned my business....I believe it's the BEST facial I have ever had! KUDOS, read more

During covid19, when everything was closed, I saw that Chakra was offering boxed facials for $50. I was very impressed at how quickly they rolled this service out and at such an amazing value. I needed a gift for a co-worker since we were also closed and I missed her birthday so I ordered her a kit. Immediately I received emails and text messages from Angela to make sure she could assist with home application. I told her it was a gift and she requested that I give her number to the recipient. I'm just blown away at the personal service and the loving attention. She added some extras in the box for my friend and me too! I can't wait to give my friend her gift and as soon as they open I'm booking an appointment! Thank you so much Angela! read more

I've had facials done before. I'm not a regular, but I can say the Angela turned me into a regular. Never once at any other facial has anyone performed a skin analysis. It seems like common sense. Angela is the first person to do one on me, and her facial followed a plan of action. I love that! Not just slather my face with things that I may or may not need, like at other places. For my first visit with her, she told me exactly what was going on my skin and why. It was an amazing experience! I love her attention to detail, her positivity, and her skill. Let's not forget...she ends every session with a sound session that resets your mind, body and soul. It cant be explained. You have to go in and feel it for yourself. read more

If your looking for a great VIP TREATMENT this is the spa!!! It's apparent with every finger stroke through her process that there is knowledge and intention behind it. read more

My massage today with Angela helped my sore neck and shoulders to relax. Ahhhh...I loved her gentle and caring touch. From the moment I entered the door, Angela's thoughtful approach was appreciated and helped me to be completely at ease. Angela offered one of the most amazing massages I have ever received and loved all the extra special ways she incorporated healing vibration, sound, and more into our session. She also carries a wide variety of amazing products, including Body Bliss. Thank you Angela!!! read more

Angela is amazing!!! Friendly, calm and great with her hands. She keeps you feeling very comfortable and SO relaxed. I've known Angela for years now, I live far from Palm Springs but anytime I'm in the area I will be getting in touch with her for an appointment. Worth the drive!!!! Amazing!!!! Love her!!! read more

I just love Angela! We just moved to Palm Springs and I needed a facial. She has changed my face to ageless! I now love to wash my face! I do recommend getting the facial Series - it's exciting to come in for a new experience each time. I work a lot so this is my treat to myself to give me balance in life. read more

I have gone to many estheticians over the past 20 years and have experienced wonderful treatments with great results. However, none compare to Angela at Chakra Esthetics. She has a profound knowledge and understanding for skin. She listens and asks the right questions before her sessions with each client. Her energy is calm, healing & loving. Sessions with Angela are more than skin deep. I highly recommend her services and feel so fortunate to have found her. read more

I just had the most extraordinary experience with my first visit to Chakra Esthetics. Angela (owner) Is an absolute professional who was not only warm and welcoming but extremely knowledgeable about her Craft. I had a complete and thorough facial. Angela explained everything she was doing and why during the facial. Talk about complete and total relaxation, it was like being swept off on a cloud. The aesthetic features of the entire office and choice of music give a sense of complete calm and surrender. My favorite was the tone bath at the end. I didn't want to leave. read more

Love, Love Love my massage & facial with Angela on Halloween! A recent evacuee from the fires in Brentwood/Pacific Palisades, I escaped from the smoke & retardant toxin to the refuge of hiking in Indian Canyon Hiking Trails. During my break from my artist management duties via computer, I turned on local NBC channel and saw an interview with Angela as she describe her Chakra massages and inspirations for them. Booked a session as soon as I could. I had a lovely massage and then facial....and walked away with a bottle Retinaldehyde Serum..described as the same delightful yellow color that accented Angela's lovely day spa. My only gripe was that the spa was not so easy to find. My GPS kept asking me to make a u-turn and didn't realize that it was on the SW corner building. I blame it also from not being a local and soon forgot about it and got into all the magic and service I got from the lovely Angela...She is a competent, highly educated esthetician with a sweet soul and a heart of gold and maybe even amethyst. :) Nancy (Momfoo) read more

This was the BEST FACIAL ever! KUDOS and a big shutout to the owner/operator Angela Rafferty. Multi degrees and multi talented she completes a full profile of each client. The products are amazing and scrumptious and delightfully scented all natural. The cucumber toner is refreshing and the cranberry scrub left my skin nourishedI am a huge fan and will continue recommending her spa services. read more

I can't say enough about Angela. I get my monthly facial from her because she pampers you beyond and the results are truly wonderful! She has a way of putting you at ease and making your hour feel like a true SPA experience! Also my Reiki session was truly healing... I felt relaxed, centered and refreshed after my session. Angela guides you thru the process and lets you know where your imbalance is coming from when you've finished the session. She was spot on! Thank you Angela!!!!!! read more
