I would highly recommend Charles and his spa. He is a super knowledgeable and sweet person, and after two sessions, he managed to calm my acne-prone & dehydrated skin significantly. I was quite sceptical about having monthly facials and if it would truly benefit my skin, but after seeing Charles' magic on my skin I keep coming back! read more

Charles McKnight Skin Spa - I have struggled with acne for about 10 years, but Charles' facials made such a huge difference on my skin! - Skin Care Near Me - Monrovia, California

I was recommended here by a friend for a facial and it surely did not disappoint. I was a bit hesitant at first since I haven't had the best experiences in the past with facials, but Charles restored my faith in them for sure. It was so relaxing that I even almost fell asleep a few times. I walked out feeling refreshed and renewed. I already can't wait to go back. read more

I had the most wonderful and relaxing facial with Charles last week. My skin was literally glowing afterwards and I even received a compliment on my complexion from a coworker the following day. Charles followed up a couple days later with a thoughtful email detailing recommendations for maintaining my skin and links to affordable products to use (hello Amazon Prime!). I can't wait to go back. read more

CHARLES WAS WONDERFUL! He is so professional + knowledgeable about his craft. He has an amazing bedside manner and gave me a wonderful facial. I'll be returning for future treatments because I'm confident he'll be able to take excellent care of my skin! He has experience with all skin tones and his equipment/setup are perfect and relaxing. Can not recommend enough! read more

This was the best facial I've ever had! Charles was incredibly knowledgeable and caring. My skin hasn't looked this good since I was a little kid. Will definitely be back and recommend it to friends :) read more

Where do I even begin?! Charles' SPA is so fantastic in so many ways, so I would try to cover all the points. First and foremost, Charles is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about skin and all skin issues and procedures. You can tell he is very passionate about what he does and also about helping you achieve your skin goals. He listens attentively and makes sure you feel heard, comfortable and leave satisfied. The SPA room itself is SO cozy. He managed to set it up in a very luxurious way, everything looks and feels clean. I've gotten facials around the world and his SPA bed is the most comfortable I have even experienced. I never fall asleep during massage or facials, but I did with Charles! The lighting is just right, the music is relaxing and Charles touch is perfect- it's a whole experience! As for the facial results - my skin is pretty healthy but it is dehydrated, and I usually get facials for extractions, both of which were successfully achieved with Hydradermabrasion and the (divinely smelling) mask and products Charles used on me. My skin was left so glowy and clean! In addition, Charles left with me skincare adjustment recommendations to try at home (no pushy selling of any of his products), which have made a significant difference after I'd implemented them. I've gone to see him twice and will continue going and referring people! read more

I came here in January for a facial after a friend of mine recommended charles to me. The space is super cozy and seclusive, I felt like I was in his home which I liked, way more relaxing than a typical spa room. The bed was so comfy I fell asleep a few times. But for the service- the important part, I was blown away! We decided to focus on hydration and stimulation. Charles uses all of his own products which are super calming and great for sensitive skin. He did a lot of micro-currency as well which felt amazing and had me so plump when I left. I'm usually a bit red after a facial but my skin was hydrated, smooth, and flawless. I got so many compliments the next two days on how plump my skin looked which is the main reason I'll be back. read more

Amazing facial with an amazing esthetician!! I've had many many facials before and I've never had one quite like this. I was shocked at how many different treatments Charles did on me during my visit. He jam packed so many treatments that my skin was extra glowy by the end of our session. It was my first time getting a micro current treatment and I was really pleased with the results. I was afraid it would hurt but Charles was extremely thorough and always made sure I was comfortable the whole time. He communicated throughout the entire facial! Most importantly, Charles was more knowledgeable than any other esthetician I've met! He was able to give a reason and solution for any issue I had with my skin! I was just able to trust him 100%. This is the most fun I've had while receiving a facial! I'm going back for another facial in a few days. Try out a facial with Charles! You won't regret it :) read more

Charles is a LIFE SAVER!!!! I deal with extremely sensitive skin that is often times triggered by allergens. So I get flare ups and look like a complete mess. Charles is so amazing at treating every aspect of my face. He knows what to use to calm down the inflammation and redness. Next level expertise! I've been seeing Charles for 2 months now and I've never seen my face look this good. I feel so confident without makeup. Which I would usually use to cover up the redness. The personal touch and customization that comes with his facials is otherworldly. I will never let anyone else touch my face. I owe Charles so much. Thank you for keeping my sensitive skin looking normal, radiant and plump! read more

I went to see Charles for the first time for a 90-minute facial, and I was so impressed that I am now going to do a monthly skin regimen with him. Not only is he the nicest, but he also knows what he's doing (he teaches skin care classes).My skin is glowing and smooth, and he uses microdermabrasion and LED lights and microcurrents and more for wrinkles, etc. It truly is an amazing difference, and I feel like I am in expert hands. Thank you Charles! read more

Charles is so good !!! My experience was amazing! I can tell my skin looks much better, even my friends asked me , what did I do for this result!!! I'll definitely come back there !!! read more

CHARLES IS A WONDER. I cannot express how phenomenal this message was.... first of all- Charles knew so much about the science of the skin and gave me so many great inside tips to help my skin type.... he went way over my appointment time because he wanted to keep working on me and believe me if he asks you to keep going... DO IT! It was the most relaxed I have felt in a long time- he's super kind and warm and made me feel so comfortable and relaxed I left thinking of when is the soonest I can return! If you want an amazing facial with someone who will make you feel totally at home and like you're a queen this is your place! Thank your Charles!! Three days later and my face still feels amazing!! read more

I had seen a special for a facial at Charles' spa and decided to try it out. I didn't know what to expect but it totally exceeded every expectation. Charles started by discussing my skin issues. He's extremely knowledgeable and could explain in great detail how why I had issues with dry patchy skin and how to take care of my aging skin/sun spots. I later learned he's teaching at a beauty school so that explains a lot. The room is extremely comfortable, the bed is luxurious and he uses all 5 star products. He ended up doing an exfoliation and hydro dermabrasian that left my skin as clean as it's ever been. He also gave me a micro current treatment to tighten my skin. This was a first for me but I could feel the energy and definitely can see the results. It didn't hurt but I would say it wakened up my face in a relaxing way. I left the spa refreshed with beautiful hydrated tighter skin. Charles is a very kind, nice man, who has this calming aura around him. I can tel he really enjoys bringing out the best skin in his clients. If you're on the fence in trying out this spa, do it! read more

Wow! My facial felt amazing, and Charles was so kind and really knowledgeable about his products, procedures and the effects they will have on this skin. Very welcoming, and you can tell he really cares about his clients. Can't wait to schedule my next appointment!! read more

This was an exceptional experience! Charles was a total delight. He was professional and considerate and pampered me. He took the time to get to know my skin so he could personalize the treatment. And is such a sweet person. I highly highly recommend! read more

i don't often write reviews, but charles made quite an impression. he is amazing. from the start you feel how much he loves what he does which is reflected in your facial and makes a huge difference in the way you are treated. instead of someone going through the motions, charles individualizes the treatment to your needs. he uses many different modalities. whatever he feels is needed will be used. he strives to give you the ultimate treatment for your skin. the room is relaxing and the table is quite comfy. he truly knows how to make you feel special in everyway. there is no upselling, no pressure, no negative attitude about you skin. this is just a nice facial that makes your skin look fabulous from a talented, thoughtful, caring person. read more

The proof is in the pudding and the "Gellee Mask" used at Charles Mcknight is poignant to highlight, It's thick creamy chilled consistency will lay over your entire face and eyes ( yes that is correct! ) for about fifteen minutes but the results will last for weeks!! Upon application it has a dynamic calming affect producing a moment where R & R and Beauty meet harmoniously when it is removed you will feel instantly refreshed and physiologically rested even comparable to that of an hour, hour and a half oxygen treatment but even so here the heaviness of the mask and it's effects go on last up to three days later when you will continue to notice the substantial increase in collagen production and radiance of the complexion due to his mixture of galvanized iontophoresis and hydrodermabrasion with aloe water solution all this and You will be greeted with the personable attributes of his southern charm, warmth and knowlegdeable skill set. He works predominately with the professional spa line Cosmedix in his private studio in Beverly Hills / Wilshire district. I highly recommend visiting him!
