I meant to write this review a while back but time kept getting away from me, so here it is now . Denise gave me her signature facial and it was amazing! It was definitely one of the best facials I have gotten. I would highly recommend this facial especially if it's your first time. Asha read more

I always struggled with skin problems. I just so happened contacted Denise through yelp. She answered in a timely manner. It is very clean and neat. I loved how she took her time to take of you. She is amazing. She has cleared up my complexion. Even my husband has noticed the difference. I niw have been going to her about a year. I have tried so many different places and never had the redults I have had with her. For the amount of work she does it is well worth it. She ought get 10 stars read more

This is a delightful and relaxing locale in the Cedros District of coastal Solana Beach. Denise, the owner, is fantastic: friendly, thoughtful, experienced, professional. She makes you feel at home, and the services are great. I had one of their 'super facials' (Signature Facial with Microdermabrasion and Peel). The massage was wonderful, relaxing. My skin is so much better after just one treatment, so I definitely signed up for a series. After a treatment, one can walk around the neighborhood, filled with charming coffee shops and local stores. read more

Denise is a dream come true! I had been looking for a new esthetician and was blown away with her clients reviews. I knew I had to book! She took the time to get to know both me and my skin, adjusted services along the way, and customized our time together to be the perfect facial for my skin. Her massages are so relaxing and the products are just fabulous - I feel so refreshed and pampered, definitely did not want the services to ever end! Denise is very warm hearted, passionate, meticulous, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her clients. Not to mention her home salon is absolutely beautiful and it's so convenient! Can't wait for my next appointment with Denise! read more

I have been such a fan of complexions for the past five years! Denise (owner) does amazing work! A truly wonderful soul with healing hands and a vibrant personality that makes you feel at ease, warm and welcomed. Every visit to Complexions has been fabulous. Her prices are reasonable (less than many of the over-priced spas in the Del Mar neighborhood), the locale is gorgeous and the salon itself is beautifully decorated. I highly recommend her signature facial - I travel all the way from Mission Valley every few months for it - well worth the price and gas money! And once you're finished with your relaxing day under Denise's care, roam the downtown street of Cedros avenue to check out some cool locally/family owned shops from hardware, clothes, art to coffee in this design district. Great San Diego find! read more

If you are looking for an incredibly relaxing experience and improved skin, you need to come to Complexions. The salon is clean, calm, and comfortable. Denise is warm, personable and professional. There is no push to add on services or products. The prices are incredible compared to other salons in the area. The Signature Facial was the ultimate deal. I enjoyed a great facial and a relaxing massage. This was my first facial so I had lots of questions. Denise took the time to answer all of my questions to help me care for my skin better. I left feeling like I had given myself a great gift and treated myself with some much needed care and compassion. I will be back! In fact, I already scheduled my next Signature Facial :) read more

I highly recommend Complexions Inc on Cedros in Solana Beach to anyone who wants the best facial in north county San Diego. It was my first time and I tried her Signature Facial with Microdermabrasion and Custom Peel. My skin looks amazing! Denise is very good at what she does and her massage that she gives you is very good. She has an amazing touch thats very soothing. I will definitely go back. read more

In this economy, it's all about getting the most bang for your buck without sacrificing quality. Denise gives you just that. Her prices are better than most spas and she spends more time with you, getting to know your needs. Denise works out of the guest house on her property which at first could be off-putting but she has done an excellent job of creating a calming, spa-like at mosphere in the open space. I have not had any sort of professional skin care since I was 19 due to a terrible acutane-worthy breakout after my first facial. I told Denise about this(and showed her the picture). She understood my hesitation and was very sympathetic and reassured me she wouldn't let anything like that happen again. I couldn't tell you what she did to my face, but it was magical. I went to see her for microdermabrasion but on top of that I got a face, shoulder, neck and back massage. Um, yes please! I saw results right away. My face looked clearer, less blotchy. I will be visiting Denise for more treatments to help with my acne scars, and probably continue even after I'm done with the microderm. She's so caring, and sincerely wants to see you satisfied with how you look. Thank you!!! read more

Complexions is the only place I recommended for a real facial. I recently did a 2 hour Signature Facial and it was amazing! Denise does a really great job at accessing your skin and seeing what it best for you. Throughout the facial she told me what she was doing or using and why, which made me feel at ease. Her studio is located in Torrey Hills conveniently close to the freeway. Denise is a wonderful woman and is the best at what she does! Thank you so much Complexions! read more

This review is LONG overdue. Back in August Denise tinted my eye lashes and she did an AMAZING job! The tint lasted for over a month! First of all, Denise is a wonderful and sweet person. Secondly, she is very type A about her work - she takes great pride in doing to the best of her ability and isn't concerned with how much she is making or how much time she spends with you - she works until it's perfect and she does the best job I have ever had. She even called the next day to make sure I was 100% happy with the tint. And I was ... And I continued to be for over a month. Now, I just need to find the time to get back for an update :-) I will definitely be back to Complexions soon and hope to experience all of her wonderful services!!!! Thanks Denise :-) read more

I've been to other chain salons, and small shops that were nice, but DENISE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST! You always get personalized attention, and so much more than you pay for. I've tried several different services, all of which were FIVE STAR. She's not satisfied until you are more than happy and your skin is beautiful! The salon is immaculant with personal touches of beauty and elegance. It's peaceful, and the best getaway ever for an hour or two. read more

I have to admit, I hadn't had a facial in a while and my skin was angry. Denise took time to customize the facial to exactly what I needed. My skin was absolutely glowing after. This was definitely the best facial I have ever had. She was amazing and just a lovely person. I already booked my next appointment. You will not be sorry. read more

I've been to literally 50 estheticians and none of them compare to Denise. I started going to her about a year ago and will never go to another person again! On each session, she always gives bonus treatments and really works with your skin to get it healthy looking. She's also one of the sweetest human beings on this earth. You can't go wrong by going here. read more

Let me tell you- I am not a huge yelp person and I have never written a review before- but this lady needs to be talked about. She the most kind awesome caring esthetician I have ever come across. Every time I am on there she is always offering skin/product advice and letting me try samples. I have been battling with skin issues for a decade now and I was desperate to find someone who really knows what they are doing and she definitely get its. What a blessing she is and how amazing my skin looks after each facial. She pays attention to what she's doing and and I am truly glad I have someone to go to and trust with my skin. My skin and I are very thankful. Affordable facials and the experience with her is always soothing and delightful. read more

Denise is AMAZING! Professionally, she knows what she is doing and takes a great deal of time to get to know you and your skin, so that she can give you a customized facial, that suits your specific skin needs. As well, if your skin is going through changes, she will always notice and adjust her facial as needed. Denise uses the best products the industry has to offer and always keeps her clients in mind when trying new ones. I look and feel 10 years younger when I leave her! Personally, I cannot say enough about the heart of this sweet woman! She makes you feel like family when you are with her, and sends you on your way with the warmest of wishes. I found her 2 years ago when I moved here and I felt as though we had known each other for our wholes lives when we first met. My heart is fuller after seeing her:) Whether you are near or far from her, she is worth the visit, and the services she provides! read more

Denise, the owner, is just as nice as can be. I set up an appointment for a men's facial and even though she was quite busy, she was able to fit me in. It was a very relaxing experience, and Denise is a very knowledgeable professional and master of her craft! Thanks Denise! read more

I have gone to the same spa in La Jolla for almost 5 years. At the insistence of a friend I detoured from habit and went to Complexions.Denise is uplifting, kind and talented. What a joyous and relaxing afternoon this was.I left her salon feeling as though I just been on a mini vacation. Go just once and you will be forever hooked. I promise! read more

I was visiting San Diego and needed a really GOOD facial because was my skin was acting all strange. Breakouts, spotty redness, dry skin - awful. Generally having good clear skin, I was perplexed. Asked around and was recommended to Denise. Best decision ever! Loved her Signature Facial! It was thorough, she diagnosed my skin, gave me some spot treatments, hydrated, moisturized, exfoliated, massaged, extracted - you name it, she did it. Left with beautiful and glowing skin! It was a dream. I am a finicky person and quite particular about my skin care. Denise rocked it. Her treatment was spot in. Wish I could go every week! read more

I highly recommend Denise. She helped my skin look radiant In just 3 visits. I had not been to a facialist in 8 years due to a very bad experience. Coming to Denise, I was a bit nervous. Not only did she put me at ease, She listened to every concern and tailor made a program for my Skin type (Greek) You will feel at ease immediately as Denise is not only highly skilled, but also a very lovely soul. See you soon Denise :) read more

If you, like me, are a woman of a certain age who once had perfect, blemish free skin, and recent hormonal changes have wreaked havoc, you must go to Denise, my miracle worker! For nearly 4 years since starting to go through the lovely hormonal changes of menopause, my skin has been ravaged with hormonal eczema. I have tried every over the counter and numerous prescription remedies and a number of peels from a prominent La Jolla cosmetic dermatologist, with little or no improvement. With a series of 3 peels, Denise rejuvenated my skin with a very noticeable radiance which brought so many compliments! Denise is a so professional, takes time to examine your skin after discussing your skin concerns and reviews her recommendations and discusses the advantages of each and the key ingredients and their functions. She has the gentlest touch and explains as she proceeds, and always checks to make sure you are comfortable and how your skin is feeling every step of the way. More importantly, Denise has a light that shines from within, a way of lifting your spirits, a real gift. She makes you feel so relaxed and positive! Complexions is so fastidiously clean, uncluttered and extremely calming and serene without feeling cloyingly sterile and at the same time not overdone. Plush spa robe and slippers, wonderful, very subtle scents and calming music. If you are still not convinced, just check out Denise herself -- she is a walking billboard for skincare because she looks at least 15 years younger than her age (the photo above does not do her justice)! And then check out my before and after pictures at the Complexions' website: http://www.complexionsinc.com Denise is amazing at what she does and loves her work and helping her clients look their best! She has a full range of treatments for every type of skin and takes much more time and care than any aesthetician I have worked with bar none. I am a very loyal client and fan! read more

Denise has changed my skin's life. Seriously. What she has done for my skin in just the few treatments I've had, is nothing short of amazing. My acne started in my early 20s and I got used to wearing make-up to cover my blemishes. I later had cystic acne on my cheeks that left deep scars. I had tried everything under the sun, but to no avail. She's made my skin so much healthier and now I refuse to wear make-up. She always pays attention to how my skin works with different products and customizes my entire experience. I love her new San Marcos location! It's in a beautiful neighborhood with an easy drive! I highly recommend a facial with Denise! read more

Denise did a wonderful job with my facial! I purchased one of her specials ( I mean good deal). She had an awesome personality and loves what she does. The passion she has for her service is incredible. The atmosphere is relaxing and beautiful. I highly recommend her. Just try her just once and I guarantee you will fall inlove. read more

Complexions is not only incredibly clean and relaxing, but also the best facials I have ever had. Denise provides personal services according to your specific skin type. My skin has never looked or felt better. Denise is also a warm, caring, and wonderful person. Going to Complexions is not only relaxing and beneficial, but also affordable. read more

Truly customized facials for every kind of skin issue. Nice range of exquisite products and finest technologies. Spotlessly clean. Never rushed. I have gone to Denise for 6 years a minimum of monthly....sometimes weekly...it is my indulgence and keeps me looking my best so that I feel I can "face " every challenge of day to day busy professional and family life!!!! read more

If i could give Complexions ten stars instead of five I would!!! Denise is extremely knowledgeable, sweet, gentle and professional. Her number one prority is making sure you are comfortable. Her salon is very nicely done and provides a very relaxing enviornment. Denise has been taking care of my wife and I for a long time and I would never go anywhere else. Put Denise up against the most well reviewed esthetician and I bet Denise will come out on top everytime. Forget Beverly Hills, La Jolla and Rancho Santa Fe, what she does in her salon in Del Mar will not only give you more for your money but will have you leaving feeling so much better not only from how you look, but how you feel!! Denise Davies and Complexions is good for the soul. read more

I am a few months away from 50 years of age, and have skin concerns including fine lines, discoloration, blackheads, rough texture, large pores, and uneven tone. To date, I have had a Complexions Signature Facial, and a Mid-Depth Peel. In both cases, Denise tailored the treatment to address my skin's needs. My skin looks noticeably (way) better and feels healthier. Denise is very sweet and knows her stuff. She is attentive and caring towards her clients. read more

Denise is one of the best in her trade! I am incredibly particular when it comes to the body and will only ever trust the best. Denise has an unparalleled skill at assessing YOUR skin & treats exactly what you need. I leave every time glowing, radiant and fresh. I highly recommend this talented esthetician read more

Denise Davies gives an AMAZING facial! I highly recommend her. She does it all so well . . . she throws on little extras here and there and doesn't charge you more for them. The experience is worth every penny! Her facial massage is the best face massage I've ever had . . . she loves what she does, and her passion for her work shines through the session. She has a super sweet personality . . . you'll want to come back for more! read more

Denise is as good as it gets...and that's the truth! She is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to skin care. I went to her in desperate need of some help. My skin had been peeling, breaking out extremely bad due to the weather conditions I was in the week prior (i.e. from 30 degree weather outdoors to 75 degree heated indoors)...anyway....my skin does not do well with drastic temperature changes. My skin was so dehydrated and needed major TLC. Denise was the perfect person to go to. I found her through Yelp and so glad that I did because she is my "go-to gal" for skincare. Although she mentioned she had never seen anything like this before...when she saw my skin under the ultra-violet light...she worked her magic and worked like a pro to restore the moisture back into my skin and get rid of the impurities. She knew exactly what to do and what products to use! I am forever thankful and I look forward to my next visit with Denise! Big hugs :) read more

Truly one of the best facials I have ever had. It's sort of like a precision facial. She takes her time and ensures she understands your skin and any issues. Then she uses several differnt layers of treatments, so it feels very therapeutic. She also does a lot of fun extras that I didn't expect like a really good foot and hand massage. Also a long head and shoulders massage. Not only did my skin look and feel 5 years younger, but I also felt relaxed and refreshed. Worth every penny! read more

I cannot speak highly enough about Denise and the quality of her work! I have very sensitive, fair skin, prone to break outs, and Denise has done an amazing job customizing her treatments to meet my skin's exact needs. I have had two Signature facials with her now, and both times I have left with my skin feeling unbelievably fresh, healthy and re-invigorated. Definitely some of the most relaxing hours of my life have been spent at Complexions! To top it all off, Denise demonstrates the highest of integrity with her work, and she is so sweet and kind! I trust her completely with my skin, and I will never see anyone else for a facial! She's won a life-long customer! read more

WOW! I seriously can't say enough WONDERFUL things about Denise and her business! She is truly gifted, beyond talented, and a natural healer. Not only does she give the BEST facial I have ever received (and I have had them all over the world), she is so passionate about her clients and her work. Her treatments are cutting-edge, relaxing, therapeutic, and truly heal the mind, body, and soul. She does this thing called "Chinese Face Mapping" that is quite possibly the coolest thing I have ever experienced. She can tell EVERYTHING that is going on INSIDE of your body, simply by looking at your face and neck. She could tell so much that it genuinely freaked me out the first time. It was amazing! By following the advice she gave me and switching to the skin care treatment and regimen she recommended, my skin has never looked better, and I have never felt better. Just yesterday, I had a "light therapy" facial, using a red light mask for acne and a blue light mask for inflammation. It was so cutting-edge and unique, and most importantly, it worked! She also does the BEST eyebrow and lip wax I have ever received. She is never pushy to add on different services or buy products either, her genuine sincerity comes through in everything she does. I think the fact she is a Registered Nurse is what truly sets her apart and makes her treatments unique. She has a totally different way of approaching health and skincare. My skin has seriously never looked better! I drive all the way from Pacific Beach, and every time I leave feeling amazing! My husband gets facials from her as well, and since he surfs daily, his skin used to really show it. Most men aren't comfortable getting treatments like this, and my husband definitely wasn't when I forced him to go, but now he goes monthly as well. We are hooked! When I have friends and family visit from out of town, no matter what, I take them to Denise for a facial. She is truly that special! Her treatments have been one of the highlights of my friend and families San Diego visits. They even call her to order product from across the country, and plan their visits to her before I even know they are coming in town. Seriously, I am not exaggerating. She is truly gifted. Her hands are magical, and she understands skin and the human body better than many doctors I know. She is truly, truly more than just an Aesthetician! I know I sound like an infomercial, but I honestly just can't say enough great things about Complexions! And NO, I am not related to her in anyway. She has just made my life and my skin THAT much better! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars... read more

This review is long overdue, but better late than never :). I have been Denise's client for about 4 years now. She is really one of the best estheticians out there. On our first booking she took the time and she called me over the phone to go over my skin concerns and goals. This is always extremely important! She is very knowledgable when it comes to various skin conditions and a great resource. Denise really does care about her clients and their satisfaction. She would always follow up with me after the treatment to make sure all is well. She customizes the treatment specifically for client's condition and preference. It is a never a "cookie cutter" facial. Denise assess the skin each time and recommends the appropriate facial/peel accordingly. To me - it is priceless! Her studio has a very spa like feel to it and she uses only high quality products. Most importantly- I have seen a huge improvement in my skin since I started to do her facials. Can't get better than this. Five stars all the way! read more
