I've always had problematic and very sensitive skin. Now that I'm aging, I realized that I needed to take better care of it. My friend referred me to Aby and I'm so glad I followed her recommendation! Aby is very skilled and knowledgeable with skincare. She knows exactly what my skin needs and she always delivers! Unlike the others, Aby never pressures her clients to buy products and is always willing to give skincare advice. I always come out of her studio looking refreshed and glowing. On top of that, she's also very nice and friendly. I usually get intimidated when I go to aesthetic salons/spas but, the moment I met Aby, I felt so comfortable and at ease right away. She also does promos from time to time. I feel like her services are all reasonably priced. I highly recommend! read more

You will leave feeling refreshed! Abby has been in the business for a long time and only uses organic products. She is very gentle and listens to her clients. She can customize your facial based on your skins needs. Wil definitely return for more facials. read more

Aby is my go to girl when it comes to my skin care. After a few initial questions to determine what my issues were she started working on my face. I got a custom facial, tailored specifically to my dry and sensitive skin. Throughout the service she was explaining each step of the process and the benefits of the products she used. It was such a lovely experience. Thanks Aby! read more

Aby is amazing I had the best Korean facial with her and my skin looked so good. Aby genuinely cares about her clients she took her time to find out about my concerns . Aby also helped my daughter with her acne and I'd definitely recommend to everyone read more

Aby is very personable and professional. I felt not only satisfied with her performance but also relaxed and reassured that she would take the utmost care of my skincare needs. read more

I had an appointment with Aby at the end of March to get one of her facials she was advertising on instagram and decided why not pamper myself when I go to San Diego to visit and I also told my best friend to come with me as well. I have known Aby and her brother Chris(who owns Advanced Brow Design) since high school which is 10+ years now and had to pleasure to see both when I arrived and it was like a mini high school reunion. Aby knew right away that I had dry skin by looking at my face and was able to determine what was a good treatment and facial for my dry skin and sun spots. She first had me change and lay down and put a steamer on my face, where she continued to examine my skin and remove any Whitehead and black heads , she the. put a pumpkin mask on my face which she did advise would burn a little and if it was too much she can take it off. She then asked me if I claustrophobic and I told her No and then stated she wanted to do a green tea mask which would help moisturize my skin and lips. I was down with it. She started putting the mask on which was very cool on my skin and it was soft when she put it on and began to harden while I laid there. While I waited for time to elapsed she then pulled the mask off my face very carefully it now became like a puddy it was weird and cool. After my facial she told me to wear sunscreen everyday and gave me a sample so my sun spots wouldn't get bigger. I haven't got a chance to go back to San Diego but when I do I will most definitely be getting another facial read more

I wanted my 17yo daughter's first facial to be an amazing experience. My daughter loves skincare and my main reasons for her facial was to not just give her a little pampering, but to also become educated. We were excited to meet Aby in person. What a pleasure! My daughter loved her treatment and she loved Aby more! She is professional, provides a warm and welcoming environment, she listens, she customizes and assures her clients needs are being met. I am thankful Aby has taught my daughter how to take care of her skin using the right products, with the right ingredients. Thank you, Aby! You are the best!! read more

I haven't had a facial in years and finally booked my appointment with Aby. Aby is amazing. The shop has limited parking but it's all worth it because it's beautifully decorated and clean. The experience was amazing from beginning to end. I already booked my next appointment. I had a HyperPigmentation/Melasma Lactic Peel and my skin felt refreshed and I could clearly see a difference in my skin. Thank you Aby for an amazing experience. I highly recommend Aby. Prepare for parking & text or call her when you arrive because your appointment is a private session and the door maybe locked for safety reasons. read more

I had my very first facial experience with Ms.Aby and I am so glad I chose Elevated Beauty and Wellness! Ms.Aby is the sweetest - she was happy to answer my skincare questions and she made me feel very comfortable. Her treatment room is also very cozy and clean. I will definitely be back. read more

Let me start off by saying that this review is long overdue. I started going to Aby 6 months before my wedding. I knew I had never invested in my skin care before and knew nothing about my skins needs. Really, I only knew how my skin reacted to things and what I didn't like about it. My goal was to feel confident during my honeymoon going bare faced. Right away at my first appointment, Aby was able to tell I had very sensitive skin and created a plan in order for me to reach my skin goals in that 6 month time. Within a matter of the first few weeks and using the correct products (not guessing based off of marketing ) I started to see results. Each time I saw Aby she would provide a custom treatment and made me feel so relaxed. I am so happy that on my wedding day and during my honeymoon that I had reached the skin goals I had aimed for the 6 months prior. Not only is Aby talented and knowledge esthetcian, but she is also so incredibly kind and warm to be around. She runs a sound business with integrity, her pricing is fair and she'll be upfront with you. So blessed to have found her!! read more

I was introduced to Aby through a close friend. I was looking for someone who would do Gua Sha facials and my first time impression was great! She is extremely personable, passionate about skincare, and really cares for her clients. I also really love the simple and cute space she has. Aby recommended a green power facial for my next appointment and I wasn't sure what I was getting into but went with it trusting her judgment. It is a little funky treatment going on and it has some lingering tingles a couple of days after, but wow my skin was feeling great a week later. After two years of no facial love, I felt that it made a big difference. I've been so insecure with my skin as of late and I'm really grateful to have met Aby cause now I feel like I'm in good hands and finally made some progress! read more

She did wonders to my skin! Sent my husband a week later . Can't recommend her more! She's so sweet!

This review is longer over due- Aby and her services deserve more than just 5 STARS.... Aby is always a pleasure to be with, she understands what I want and never up-sells me on anything. She provides a comfortable environment with POSITIVE VIBES. - She listens to what I want, and provides me with her knowledge on what's best as a specialist. She makes me feel beautiful at the end of all my treatments. With my monthly visits- I noticed that my skin glows and feels/looks smoother which was "MAJOR" for ME post pregnancy. My goal was to have/ or be as close to pre pregnancy look. Aby goes above and beyond to satisfy me. I will FOREVER be her client. I travel 50mins 1 way to see her and she is worth every minute.

Was introduced to Aby by her sister and ever since then I have been coming to Aby for all my skin care needs for 3 years now. She is so professional and thorough when providing treatment, I know she does not cut any corners to achieve the best possible results. Aby also has the sweetest personality and is able to make anybody feel so comfortable whether it's your first time seeing her or been a regular! Nothing but great things to say about Aby and the services she provides. read more

There's no words to describe my experience with Aby. I have been receiving facials from her for almost 2 years now and she has helped to clear my skin tremendously. Her customer service is impeccable and she pays great attention to detail when customizing her treatments. It's been hard finding a esthetician in SoCal who's familiar and proficient in treating darker skin tones. Aby is a pro when it comes to ALL skin tones, which is rare. Please, if your thinking of improving your skin, go and see Aby. read more

I came to Aby with a face with acne, scars and dark spots. Wearing a mask due to the pandemic has made my skin not so pleasant. I got a recommendation from a friend and made my appointment. I was so so happy I did. After one appointment my skin looked smoother and less inflamed. And even got my dark spots looking less. What made Aby stand out from the rest is how she took the time to inform you about the product line and made sure that she would work with your budget to get the results you want. Other estheticians in the past made me buy all the products from a particular line and was told nothing else to use, along with a strict diet. Aby was different. Ability to work with your budget and no diet requirements just a healthier approach. So happy I made that first appointment. My skin is beautiful and im loving it. read more

Aby is the quintessential professional when it comes to your skin! I booked my first appointment with Aby in October 2020 as a way to treat myself for my birthday and I didn't have any intention of keeping up with facials as part of my regimen, but Aby's skill, amazing personality, and the results she gave me have kept me coming back each month. I will forever be a client of Aby, and all of you should be, too! From the products she uses, to the soothing atmosphere of her treatment room, to the different techniques she employs, I am constantly amazed at Aby's innovation and look forward to my appointments every month. Thank you Aby! read more

Today was my first facial session with the lovely Ms Aby! I've been trying to schedule with her for over a year due to the pandemic but today was the day. Honestly, it was totally worth the wait!!! I felt like she truly knows her craft and really takes pride in her work! I got the geisha facial which is AMAZING!!! The whole experience was very relaxing and the conversation between the two us was genuine. I felt like I was in the company of a longtime friend. I love the difference in how my face looks and feels just after one session. I notice more plumpness in my cheeks and the laugh lines have dimishef as well. My face is looking youthful and had a lovely natural glow!!! I will definitely be scheduling frequent appointments with Aby!! read more

A recently had a signature facial with Aby and I absolutely loved it! She's very knowledgeable about skin care and made me feel comfortable the entire process. My appointment started off with a consultation. I've had facials before, but she's the first to actually take the time to examine my skin and let me know exactly why I'm having issues and what I need. After the consultation, we go into her very clean, cute room. She set up the steam for me to go under. One thing I have to mention and I took notice of was the fact that she left the room to wash her hands. She came back holding a paper towel to open and close the door with. Again, first person I've seen do that. It's the attention to detail that I appreciate!!! The facial itself was very relaxing and I left feeling refreshed and skin feeling clean! I saw immediate results following the treatment! I can't wait for my next facial with Aby! Highly recommend seeing Aby for your skin care needs! read more

I have melasma that has been worsening over time. I researched aestheticians who deal with this skin issue and found Aby on Yelp. I'm so happy to have her as my aesthetician. She is beautiful inside and out, and is very knowledgeable about your skincare needs. Aby's spa is clean and relaxing, and she is so personable. I've had two appointments with her, and I already see a difference in the lightening of my melasma. I look forward to having another treatment next week. read more

My first appointment with Aby was with a friend of mine. I'd been talking about needing a facial so a friend booked both of us appointments during a special she was running. I've now been a client of Aby's for just under 6 months now, and couldn't be anymore excited about my results. You can tell how passionate Aby is about her craft, and I'm so happy I got connected with her. If you want a licensed esthetician that can deliver amazing results and great customer service to match, she's your girl. Thank you so much for all you do! read more

It has been almost a year now that I have been seeing Aby for my acne prone skin. I just recently viewed my pictures from when I first started her facial treatments until now and I am so happy to see how my skin has drastically improved. I mean drastically! I didn't want her to post my before and after pictures on her social media because it still makes me uncomfortable to see how I looked before but I'm leaving this review to let you know that her treatments work. She is a big part of my improvement with my self-esteem and I will be forever grateful for her and her services. read more

I highly recommend Aby if you are looking for an amazing facial/treatment!!!! Aby's technology & expertise in the field of facials is outstanding. I just had a "Custom Anti-Aging Treatment". The focus was on my face & neck lifting. I feel & look 10 years younger Thank you, Aby read more

i found a true gem (and she's near my house ). have had two custom facials with Aby and already booked my third. She explains why she selects treatments and what they do for your skin, i come out relaxed and my face is glowing. She is familiar with the side effects of chemo and radiation, and was able to work with my skin to give me recommendations and custom facials. I love our conversations too, from skin care, crystals, healing and being a mom, always a pleasure. So happy I found her. read more

I had my second treatment with Aby earlier this week and can already see and feel a difference in my face. My forehead is clear of any spots and my old scars are slowly fading. Aby made recommendations based on my skincare goals and how well I could tolerate the procedures. So far I've only had minimal peeling after my green peel. The products she used were effective and appropriate for my needs. In fact, I liked them so much I invested in some of my own when she offered a monthly product special. Aby provides a comfortable environment. The treatment room is clean and private. Prices are reasonable, especially for the quality of the work and products used. read more

So thankful I found Abby, she's works with all skin types. I'm a woman of Native American and black decent and it's important to work with someone who understands that different ethnicities require different treatments. Definitely coming back and I told all of my friends that I found a jewel in our neighborhood! God bless you & your business read more

Aby is absolutely amazing!!! Brought my daughter to get her first teen facial and she LOVED IT. I was searching for a solution for my daughters skin acne problem because no product seemed to help clear her skin My daughters skin cleared up after just one session with Aby and using her recommended cleansing skin product line. Aby is wonderful and recommend her to everyone!Especially to the moms out there with teens who don't have perfect skin and searching for a solution to help their kids clear their skin and gain not only confidence but also be more knowledgeable on how to create a proper skin routine that will help them as they grow.That being said... Aby.. we thank you!!! read more

Aby is very personable and easy to work with. She customizes different treatments to your specific skincare issues and needs. She is very accommodating and truly cares about her clients. Her location is very clean and beautiful! I would definitely recommend her! read more

After trying every acne clinic in San Diego and unsuccessfully getting rid of my acne I found Aby. She is not only welcoming and kind but know her stuff. I have never had better results from a esthetician with such a simple regime. Her location is clean and organized and she is very punctual. After going to aeveral acne clinics and not getting the results I was looking for, I decided to give Aby at Advanced Beauty a try. This is my new go to spot! read more

Aby is amazing! She has a genuine heart and really cares for her clients. She listens and really gives all of her knowledge to help with the problems that bothers us about our skin. After going to her for most of my skin needs, I've been looking better as ever. I've got so many compliments about my skin and that I'm glowing. Aby, is a true professional. She provides a waiver that explains risks, if's, what "could" happen, and what to expect. So basically, if you read the waiver, you are clearly stating that you understand what "could" happen as far as reactions. Aby goes above and beyond for her clients and wants all of us to be happy. You won't be disappointed in seeing her. I'm so happy with everything that she has done for me. Thank you so much Aby!!!! read more

Advanced skin and beauty is amazing. I was referred to Abigail for a skin treatment. I emailed Abigail and she was so sweet and scheduled me right away. I came for my appointment and Abigail greeted me at the door. The place was so beautiful and clean. Abigail made sure I was comfortable and relax. Abigail told all the treatments she was doing and I would definitely recommend advanced skin and beauty. Thank you Abigail read more

Aby is so sweet, nice and knowledgeable. Made me feel like a million bucks after the facial. Gave me advice and tips for my skin. The place was clean and cute. Tip park across the street in the lot. Waisted time trying to find parking in front of studio. read more

I just had my first appointment with Aby and already I'm seeing a difference in my skin. I came in because I'm starting to get some very mild hyper pigmentation. This is something that will usually take multiple sessions to complete but I'm already seeing them beginning to lighten. BUT! On top of that my skin is looking more lifted almost immediately! I never thought I'd see dramatic differences this quickly! read more

It's been years since I've had a facial and Aby and I go way back so I couldn't wait to book an appointment with her. I went with her signature facial and I must say, my face hasn't felt so good in such a long time! I love that Aby really takes the time to get to know what your daily routine is for the face. I expressed to her that the winter weather has taken a toll on my skin and I have been suffering from so many dry areas. She thoroughly explained what she would be doing during my appointment and answered any questions I had. I enjoyed my appointment so much. I've never felt so relaxed and just stress free during my appointment. Afterwards, she recommended a few of her Lira products and I told her I'd be back for those. Four days in using the Lira serum and SPF she recommended and I have nothing but praise for the products. Not only does the serum smell amazing, but it just leaves a wonderful glow. Even the SPF is amazing! I love how lightweight the product feels. She made a few other recommendations and I'll need to pick those items up next. I don't feel guilty at all investing in products for my skin especially since I'm seeing great results. The best part is when I'm feeling like going fresh face, I have such a dewey look that glows all day. Thank you, Aby!! Can't wait to book my next appointment. read more

Aby's underarm brightening treatment is AMAAAAAAAZING! I switched over to natural deoderant and I noticed that my underarms started to darken, apparently this is a common side effect. After ONE treatment, I saw immediate results. She recommended I use the follow up serum at home as well but I didn't feel it was necessary. Big mistake.. I noticed that they began to darken again and had to go back for another brightening session. I then bought the serum and sure enough, they didn't darken again. Moral of the story, LISTEN to your esthetician. Aby is genuinely committed to improving any of your beauty goals and is very knowledgeable on what products work and how to achieve those goals. read more

Long overdue review but I can't say enough good things about Aby. I found her on Instagram and was immediately impressed by her knowledge, passion behind being an esthetician and her client before and after pictures! Booking an appointment on her website is easy and informative. Before Aby, I had textured and dry skin full of clogged pores. I wanted my skin to be flawless for my wedding in May of 2019 so I started seeing her in December of 2018. This was one of the best choices I've made. Her custom and one of a kind services truly transformed my skin. I also changed my skin routine and switched to the Lira products she highly recommended. To this day, I am a firm believer that her Lira products are my holy grail. Aby is the sweetest person ever! Her communication is fast, and you can truly tell she cares about the skin of her clients. A couple days after getting a peel, my skin was purging (totally normal) and she gave a complimentary cream to help with the peeling process. She personally met up after hours just to give it to me. I highly recommend Aby for all of your skin needs! read more

I love coming to Aby for my monthly self care!! Aby is such a knowledgeable esthetician, and I started seeing her 5 months before my wedding. I started seeing her monthly for peels and facials to ensure I felt confident by the time my wedding came, and Aby went above and beyond with every treatment we did. She had great recommendations for my at home care that has changed my skin routine in the best way. By the time my wedding came I felt amazing in my own skin and I can't see myself going a month without seeing her!! read more
