I have been getting facials from Dina for about 2 years, and I have seen in a big difference in my skin. Her facials are the best! I highly recommend her you won't be disappointed. Linda B. read more

This is by far the best facial I've ever had. Dina goes above and beyond with every treatment. I'm turning 50 and she's an expert with aging skin. I also send me teenagers to her and she's completely turned their skin around. Dina genuinely cares and makes product recommendations that are spot on. She follows up to make sure your skin is responding well and also offers beyond good pricing for packages. I've gotten countless facials around the world and Dina is by far my favorite. read more

I have had facials from high end luxury spas to the hole in the wall places and Dina is by far the most caring and knowledgeable. She genuinely cared about the outcome want to improve my skin with recommendations and what not to do. The time I spent with her was well worth it and she ensured I was comfortable, walked me through the facial and the Microderm process. My skin felt so good afterwards. She is not pushy or try to upsale anything, a BIG plus for me, I hate pressure sales. Dina is not one of them. She is AWESOME!! read more

What can I say? Dina is truly a saint. I have never known an esthetician to be as passionate about their field as Dina. This woman goes above and beyond each and every time she treats you and always takes the time to go over your concerns and give you a thorough skin analysis. She will occasionally suggest additional treatments (if you have significant skin concerns) and/or product--but she's NEVER pushy, which I respect and appreciate. Dina has even texted me a few days/weeks after my treatment to check on how I feel about my skin and if I have any questions or concerns. I can go on and on and continue to sing Dina's praises, but hopefully you get the gist of this review and give Dina a chance to put her magic touch on your skin. Whether you want to maintain your skin, address problematic skin concerns, or just relax and enjoy an amazing facial-make sure you give Dina try, you'll thank me later ;) Thank you Dina! You're amazing! read more

When it comes to facials, Dina does amazing work. I have learned so much about my skin from going to see her. She uses the best, creme dela creme of facial products. Talk about being pampered! You MUST check it out if you want to treat yourself. My first facial with Dina, I realized that: 1.) You get a facial / massage 2.) She can get rid of your blackheads / whiteheads --it's awesome! 3.) Facials are sooooo relaxing!! 4.) When you walk into the facial salon (I don't know the name)--you are literally transported into a boutique/spa...on the outside, her business is in a business park (fyi). 5.) Dina is a beautiful woman inside and out. 6.) She has lovely boutique like things to buy (products, merchandise, misc. lovely things, etc.) --but I have never once felt pressured or overly suggested to buy things. I just get my facial-on, and go. In fact, when I told her that all I use on my skin is the Neutrogena bar, she didn't want to suggest anything else because she told me that what I was using was working wonderfully (and she knew it was inexpensive)--she also give my skin higher self-esteem. I can't say enough fabulous things about Dina. 7.) I love her so much, I want to keep her secret...well, except sharing here with Yelp peeps b/c I've gotta pay it forward!! 8.) Going to Dina is making me like facials more than the following other ways I like to treat myself: 5.) Manicures 4.) Pedicures 3.) Massages 2.) Frozen-Yogurt 1.) Sushi --seriously, I'd give up eating sushi two times to get a facial. I LOVE IT!! read more

I"m almost nervous to write this, because Dina's is my best kept skin care place to go! I've been going to Dina for just about 10 years now. She is amazing! She truly cares about her clients skin. She does an amazing eyebrow job. Having thick eyebrows, i can just trust anyone, because most people want to thin them out. She does awesome pumpkin peals, leg waxing and extreamly relaxing facials. If your in the kearny mesa area i highly suggest giving her a visit! oh...and i almost forgot to mention her microdermabrasions...they're amazing!! they clear your skin up so nicely, and honestly her's are the most affordable that i've seen in san diego. read more

Today marked the third time I visited Dina for treatment. The first being when I purchased a groupon for a $30 60min eminence facial of which I thought I had died and gone to heaven. What I love about Dina is that she thoroughly explains everything she is doing, and she listens and responds to me as a doctor would a patient. Every treatment she recommends or advises is a measure of careful analysis and theory. I am on the road to brighter and more youthful looking skin and it is all thanks to her! Not to mention she really knows how to pack on the pamper. I thin this might be an everlasting relationship! read more

I went to Dina about 4 or 5 times before I decided it was not a good fit. Her prices are cheap comparatively. It was $55 for a microderm appt but I began to notice she was would try to sell me on products even when I told her no in the first place and she would say, in my opinion, inappropriate comments about religion to customers. I also did not see a substantial improvement in my skin. I have gone to other facialist before moving here to SD that use two differ types of microderm heads. They usually start with a course head and then go over with a finer head. Dina only uses one microderm head and she has a weird way of performing the high frequency acne treatment that seemed reckless and caused me a lot of discomfort. read more

Had my first facial at Dina's today. It was a groupon deal, a microdermabrasion/oxygen facial combo. I am no stranger to spa treatments and must say that Dina is a very professional and experienced esthetician. I was thoroughly pleased with my results and she took extra time to perform extractions which was impressive considering that it was a groupon deal. (And btw... she used gloves!) I made sure to compensate her for that when I tipped her. My skin looks wonderful! I was a bit concerned because of some of the reviews regarding her tendency to talk about sensitive subjects..... such as religion and politics.I was forewarned because Dina did attempt to engage me in conversation about religion but thanks to getting a heads up from fellow yelpers I didn't give her any ammunition to continue on that subject. Once we got beyond that, she was wonderful. My advice is just to be assertive and tell her that you come to relax during a facial and not talk about anything. She will honor your request. Regarding the comments about being pressured to buy products, I have been to numerous spas and resorts over the years and EVERY one I have gone to makes an attempt to sell products. Dina evaluated my skin condition and made suggestions about which products would be beneficial. That's normal routine when you are getting a treatment.It is also helpful for anyone who has any skin problems to know what products are beneficial to their skin care routine. When you go to a hair stylist they usually suggest hair products to buy. I don't understand why some people get so upset about this. It,s the American way of doing business! Dina did not pressure me to buy any of her products once I told her what I use and that I was happy with my current skin care regime. I highly recommend her and will be sure to come back whenever I am back in San Diego. read more

I hadn't been able to see Dina for several years but recently had the opportunity to indulge in one of her fabulous facials. I'm happy to report she has NOT lost her touch. What a lovely experience. Be good to yourself...book a facial with Dina. read more

I should've known not to come back here after the first try. While Dina is clearly passionate about her career, it is safe to say there is some ulterior motives here. When first meeting Dina she was pretty nice. I got a groupon and she honored it. She then attempted to upsell me multiple times (both with product and another special kind of facial.) I said I would stick with what I got but scheduled another facial to see what it was like. she wanted me to buy product. If I bought product from every person peddling product I'd probably be 20 k in debt. Dina does not understand this. During the second facial she cleaned her room while I had a mask on. Dina does not like Muslim people. When I was speaking to her about my loved ones and family, I menationed one was Muslim. She acted very dissaprovingly and said they were trying to take over the world through marriage. My last scheduled facial, I arrived 1/2 hour early as per her request. She refused to do the facial on me b/c I would not buy her precious product. Again, if I were to buy every product from every person out there who claimed there's was the cure all I would be massively in debt or at least have a sh*t ton of product I do not use that sits in my bathroom and then gets put int he landfill and rots and pollutes the water. I do not find her professional. I do not find that she is non-judgemental. She wants to get the most money so she will not settle for just doing a facial with no products bought. I simply do not agree with this method of business. If it weren't for her intolerant remarks I would not have left this review. It's sad that in 2015 people still think and speak like this. I hope this is a lesson learned. read more

Absolutely wonderful treatment with a woman who genuinely cares about your skin and you as an individual. The products and treatments are reasonably priced and Dina is such a committed aesthetician that she will work with you to do what's best for your skin until you see a visible improvement. She is very well educated in the field and communicates how each product will target certain types of skin so that you aren't completely lost once you get back home. It is a very calming and welcoming environment. I heard of Dina through a colleague at work and I'm so glad to have met her as my skin has made significant improvements ever since I've seen her and the difference between this time and my previous skin treatments is that my skin has actually remained relatively clear. Dina worked with me to find different products in different combinations at different times of day for a month until we found the right mix of things and together with a few dietary restrictions, I've managed to keep the clusters of acne under control for months now. I would absolutely recommend This place for anyone looking to see some real improvement at a reasonable price! read more

I went in for a last minute underarm wax since I forgot to make an appointment. The lady was very nice and scheduled me last minute. Dina is very nice and polite, but the underarm wax was very painful. I'm not sure what wax she used but my skin was stinging all day.. She did a good job other than that. She seems very knowledgeable with skin care, but I don't think I'd go back for waxing.. read more

DINA IS THE BEST!!!! She gives the absolute best brow waxing in San Diego! I adore her and will not go anywhere else - ever. If you are looking for someone who is meticulous, gentle and listens to what you want Dina is perfect for you. I am PICKY and I love her. She is so sweet too!! She is also great with skin. I went in for my brows and was having some problems with certain ares of my face and she did a consultation. Her recommendations have been spot on! My face looks amazing . . . You can tell she loves it too. She gets so excited when a product works or she sees results - it is so cute. All of the reviews on here are great so I am sure it is clear she is amazing but I thought I would add one more. She deserves it! read more

I first found Dina through a groupon deal & have been to her ever since. Dina does a great job with her facials, even giving your hands, feet, neck and scalp a mini massage. It's convenient that I can text her to book appointments and she give text reminders. Dina is a very kind and warm individual who loves what she does & is very good at it. read more

Dina is the one and only person I trust to wax my eyebrows. I have large, bushy eyebrows that grow incredibly quickly. When Dina waxes my brows, she uses a magnifying light so she can see every single detail and really have you looking your best. She has also helped me with my skin and recommended products that have my skin looking the best it has in years. I feel she truly cares about me and about each of her clients and wants them to have the very best. Thank you Dina! read more

Dina is very caring and knowledgeable in problem skins. Her salon is very calm and peaceful, located in a quiet street with ample parking spots. I bought a Groupon voucher for microcurrent facial and so far have done 2 of 3 in the series. This v turned out to be the luckiest adventure through Groupon for me. I'd not have tried microcurrent otherwise! First time Dina combined nice pumpkin peel before the microcurrent treatment. The second time she treated me to brightening and whitening mask. Microcurrent itself was great and I could see the lifting and tightening of my 50+ skin right away. Dina is very thorough and attentive. She has been at the same location for a long time. I'm very happy with the results so far. read more

"Give Credit where credit is Due"....Especially when it comes to our face. I moved to SD a year ago having to look for a new place to get monthly facials. I had tried 3 other places but I felt for what I was paying they were in a hurry and it was a superficial cleansing of my skin and they mostly wanted to immediately recommend chemical peels etc.. I tried a few and didn't really see the benefits. I'm an RN as well as do a lot of public speaking so I take pride in trying to get my skin to look its best especially for speaking events. I found Dina via Groupon. I cannot express how immediately I noticed the difference. She was extremely professional and you can tell it was not about a business but she loved what she did. She spent so much Time not only on my face but making sure I felt pampered. Foot massage, hand massage. Something NONE of the other facial salons had done.. I truly felt as if I was at a Spa... And I've been to MANY. She takes the time to do extractions which many don't.. And she texts before and after treatments to follow up. She never tried to push her product. She encouraged me to save money and finish the products I had at home. After over a year of looking I found the PERFECT person I can trust with my face And see the difference. I TOTALLY recommend Dina's Salon. read more

Dina is by far the best facialist I've ever seen! I've been many places and had many facial treatments but Dina's is superior above all of them! Her facial bed is incredibly comfortable, and her knowledge and expertise about skin is above all the rest! I first saw her using a Groupon, but she was so amazing that I purchased a series of facials which is not something I usually do. The effect that her treatments have on my skin and the superior service and relaxation that happens during the facial is something that I want to keep experiencing. She is fantastic and so is every moment of the facial! Book an appointment and see for yourself! read more

What. The actual. F*CK!!!!???? Decided to treat myself to a facial for my birthday. Big mistake. I was the first client of the day. The owner introduced herself, "I'm Dina and I have a savior." Okay, weird, but the place is decorated with cherubs and to each her own, so I didn't say anything. Just gave an awkward smile in the hopes that we could get on with the facial in silence. She had for some reason blocked out an extra half hour on top of the hour I paid for, and she proceeded to spend the entire time harassing me about Jesus. Immediately I launched into the placating thing that is sometimes effective when a young woman feels threatened. Big eyes, nodding, silence, placid face - don't do anything that might give this person cause to harm you physically. Go along with everything until you're out of danger. "We are all serpents, we have the serpent, the seed of Satan inside us! We are all cheating on our husband Jesus. It truly is a marriage. Jesus is our husband, our father, our sister!" She asked me if my relationship with my roommate was physical (it's not), then went on to liken me to Eve, talking about sin, and then saying that my parents' marriages are going to end badly because it is forbidden in the bible to divorce and it is evil to remarry. Also, homosexuality is a sin, and mixing religions and races never works (I'm Asian and European). WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF Halfway through I began to have real concerns that she was going to sacrifice me on her table like a lamb. I made a concerted effort to relax, keep my mind clear, pay attention to what she was doing and not be distracted by the insane sh*t coming out of her mouth. She applied a pumpkin peel, "Tell me if the pain is too excruciating," and I was grateful for the distraction of physical burning from the warnings of eternal burning, which, to her, were obviously more than metaphorical. At this point she began to weep into the pumpkin peel and had to blow her nose (I was beyond caring much that she washed her hands for only three seconds after this - yes, I counted. I take hygiene seriously). "The earth is a new Sodom and Gomorrah and Judgement Day is coming! It really is coming! You must read the bible, you must take Jesus into your heart and know him, really know him!" Et cetera. Et cetera. Et cetera. The entire time. If this woman had approached me on the street, I would have called the police. I'm a bit concerned now that she has my phone number; I even created a "throwaway" Yelp account to post this, but my roommate wisely reasoned that our household has more firepower than even an Israeli is likely to have on hand. Anyway. Aside from being so very, very, unbelievably unprofessional and a complete raving lunatic, Dina was ... well meaning? She certainly seemed to have the best intentions. She also scares the living Jesus out of me (get it?). Hasn't anyone else had a similar experience with her?? read more

I had a similar experience to the other bad ratings. She ranted on and on about Jesus being the "only way". okay, okay, whatever. Then she proceeded to do my extractions with her bare fingers!!!! Anyone that knows anything about skincare would never do that. When I figured out what she was doing...I asked her to stop and told her how terrible that was! She apologized and begged my to come back for a free facial to make it right. Then I felt bad, because maybe she really didn't know? Ughhh, why did i second guess myself and giver her another chance? I went back. She did the EXACT same thing!!! I stopped her again. Again, she acted mortified. It is completely unprofessional and really BAD skincare to give extractions the ways she did. TWICE!!!! I mean she didn't have gloves on, or even wash her hands prior to starting the extractions. She even had the nerve to ask me to buy a product on my way out! I have gotten facials all over San Diego, and this was by far the worst experience yet. The most unprofessional and obviously has no idea what she is doing. read more

Dina is very knowledgeable about skin care. Best facial I've ever had. I will continue coming to her and follow her treatment plan as my skin already looks better after using products recommended by her for one month! Teresa read more

I found Dina because my mom had a gift certificate, and I'm so glad that I did! She was really amazing. I had my eyebrows, underarms, legs, and bikini area waxed yesterday to get ready for my upcoming wedding, and I look fantastic. I am very pleased with the quality of the service that she provides. Her shop isn't bare and hospital-like as some other spas can be. It's lovely and definitely reflects her personality. She's very kind and gentle. It was my first waxing, and she went out of her way to make it as painless as possible. (Of course, waxing is always painful, but her efforts definitely helped!) I will definitely be returning here. My eyebrows look great, and I've had no pain after my waxing - just a little redness. Also, Dina's prices are great. For the amazing service, I haven't seen a better price in San Diego - It cost me $100 for all of that, which easily would have been twice that in another spa. In addition to waxing, Dina also provides skin care and massages, and uses high quality products. Check her out, you won't regret it! read more

My skin was not beautiful but now that I have seen Dina, it IS beautiful! Dina is not just an esthetician, she is a practitioner. Dina really knows what she is doing and tailors a skin care regimen to the individual. Why waste $$$$ trying this and that only to find it doesn't work? Dina will recommend product specifically for your skin problem. Her products are REASONABLY priced, as are her services. Not to mention that Dina is a sweetheart and really cares about her clients. You can't go wrong. Do yourself a favor and call Dina. read more

I was so glad I purchased a Groupon for a facial by Dina. The location was easy to find with tons of parking. Her place was classy, decorated tastefully. Dina's touch & her style was done with talent & wisdom. It was a peaceful & enjoyable treatment. She was very informative with out pushing products for my dry skin. I was so empresses I bought a package of 3 more facials before I left. She even texted me the next day to see how I was & how my face felt. I highly recommend her!! Treat yourself! read more

I've never had a facial like Dina's! She is so caring and thorough; my skin was very dry and layered. Dina has totally repaired my skin, and she goes the 'extra mile' in her time and loving care. I recommend her highly! read more

Dina is such an amazing, caring and knowledgeable esthetician. My face is smooth, dark spots lightened and cystic acne free thanks to Dina. I see her monthly and trust her each time, definitely recommended her series package and choosing her services. read more

Dina's Skin Care - Skin Care Near Me - San Diego, California

Dina is really good at what she does. I Love the Dadashi facials and have not seen anyone else offer them. If you get a regular facial, or maybe it was the pumpkin peel I can't remember which, she massages your feet and legs while the treatment does its magic. Also, Dina always tries to accommodate my very hectic schedule. read more

This is a very late review! I started seeing Dina when I was pregnant last year. I highly recommend her. She is very attentive and makes sure that you are comfortable. She was also accommodating when I only wanted to use products that were safe during pregnancy. There was a product that she wanted to use on me but was unsure if it was safe so she called on the spot to verify. All the products she recommended helped my skin. I don't know if it was the hormones or/and a coincidence, but my face definitely cleared out. read more

Dina offers the best facial and brow wax in San Diego. I work in the beauty business and have been seeing her exclusively for 9 years and traveled from Los Angeles for 3 years for my brow wax. Even when I was out of state for 6 months, I never let anyone else touch my brows!! When I was 18, I suddenly went through some awful hormonal changes and my skin broke out in acne. I attribute the zero scarring to Dina's facials and years later, still get complimented on the tone and texture of my skin almost daily. especially by elderly women:-) Naturally, I've referred many people to Dina for a variety of concerns. My entire family goes to her as well as manyfriends and former co-workers. She is clearly the best kept beauty secret in San Diego! read more

Dina is such a sweet lady, she genuinely cares about her clients. I went in with a terrible breakout and she's been determined to help me. She gave me tons of samples for me to see what might work on my skin, she checks in with me often to get updates about my acne, even let me come in for free extractions. The acne facial helped a lot and I'm really happy about her genuine customer service. read more

I went to see Dina for an oxygen facial and a microdermabrasion. I was very happy with my experience. For one, I appreciated how Dina started the appointment with a discussion about my expectations. She went above and beyond in my treatment. She did extraction for me even though it was not technically included in my facial. She definitely gave my skin the individualized treatment it needed. I bought a vitamin c cleanser for just 20$ which I've been very happy with. She will text you to see how your skin is doing- what's better than that?! I will go back! read more

I had such a great experience here. I went in for a facial and it was my 1st one in literally years. She took great care of my skin. I ended up purchasing a pumpkin face exfoliate wash by Rhonda Allison from her before leaving. But the best part is - I wasn't pressured into purchasing this product! It was merely suggested because it was what she used on me during my visit. read more

It's been nearly four years since my first appointment with Dina, and I'm still just as pleased with her work and service. My eyebrows always look great after a waxing! She's a wiz when it comes to diagnosing just what my skin needs to feel and look more youthful with treatment and product. I never feel like she is too pushy recommending either. And, wow! She really helped my 14-year-old daughter when the teenage breakouts started up! I am so very grateful to know Dina. She's gentle, professional, and truly does have one's best interest at heart. read more

Dina was such a sweetheart! I tried her out through Groupon. I plan on purchasing facials from her. She was extremely thorough and knew exactly what my skin needed. She was so kind and made the experience as comfortable as possible. Highly recommend her :) read more

Dina has been waxing my eyebrows for 10 years. She is by far the best in SD. I have not always lived in her area and so I have tried others when I am in a pinch and I am always disappointed. I even lived in LA for 6 months and gave up on trying new spas. I decided it was better to just drive to San Diego and see Dina. I have sent friends to her who are used to spending 3 times what she charges and they were shocked by her skills. She is a perfectionist and a brow artist! She never does the too thin look. I am always happy when I leave. I forgot to mention that I have ridiculously sensitive skin! read more

I first went in to see Dina for a back massage and facial about 6 months ago & have been back numerous times since then. Each time I've been in to see her she has been very warm and welcoming. In the last few years, large dark spots have started appearing on my face, I believe from sun exposure and genes. The most prominent were one in the middle of my forehead (about 1.5 - 2" or so in diameter) and one on each side of my nose that looked like tears going down my cheeks. I did not think much could be done for them or, at least, nothing that would be effective in my price range. So, I figured I would continue to cover them up with makeup as best as I could. When Dina saw them, she mentioned she'd helped others with more severe pigmentation and, over a period of a few months, she was able to help lighten mine, as well. It is still a work in progress, but my dark spots are significantly lighter and now require less makeup coverage. I purchased a series of 6 microdermabrasion sessions, which got rid of the dead skin cells and made my skin feel soft and look more radiant. I am planning on doing another round soon. I don't know how the service compares because I have never had microdermabrasion done by anyone else, but the price seems low and Dina always made sure I was comfortable by placing a cushion under my knees and offering me a blanket when I was a bit chilly. She also plays wonderful, calming music, which is so relaxing after a stressful day at work. I was not familiar with the products Dina sells when I first started going to her, but she suggested a few that she thought might work for me & kindly offered me samples before I committed to buying full-size products. She did not want me to be stuck with a product that wasn't compatible with my sensitive skin. She has always shown concern about how the products were working out with my skin. For example, she asks questions (via text or follow-up appointment) like: How is your skin doing? Did the product help with breakouts? Did you notice a difference? Was the product drying? Was it working? Did you notice any lightening of the dark spots? Dina carefully considered if a product would work for me before recommending it. One of her first recommendations, which I use nightly, can be purchased from Target. When I found products elsewhere (foundation, BB cream, & sunscreen), she wanted to check the ingredients to make sure they would be okay for my skin and did not try whatsoever to get me to buy only the products on her shelves. Although, I do use some of those, as well, and I like them. When I went in for follow-ups after trying new products, Dina would examine my face & we would talk about the products I was using and how my skin was doing. Dina was very patient and persistent, as I tried a several products before we found a few that worked for me. I definitely recommend Dina! Her prices are very reasonable, and she is a lovely person. It is clear that she loves what she does & that she is sincerely interested in helping her clients. read more

Are you ready to have great skin??? Then you found the right place!!!!! Dina is extremely professional, highly educated and dedicated to making your skin look fabulous!!! The salon is clean, the bed is very comfortable and the decorations and music are soothing and the prices are affordable!!! I found Dina on Groupon a month ago and my skin is thanking me! I have been getting microderms and peels once a month for several years but my skin continued to have poor texture and breakouts. Once I took Dina's professional advice and bought her products, my face started looking better. I know products are expensive but I was so willing and ready to change my skin and it paid off! Dina did not pressure me to purchase anything she just made a suggestions according to what my skin needed. If you are looking for someone who is completey dedicated to you and your skin issues, you have found her! read more
