I've been enjoying facials under Meghan's caring hand's for many years. My skin is ecstatic. I always come away so totally relaxed. it's worth the driv all the way from La Jolla. read more

I have been going to Meghan for about a year now, and while she's currently closed for COVID, when she is open, she does a phenomenal job. She transformed my skin from swollen, compromised and irritated to strong and resilient. Her practice is incredibly clean and she takes great care with your skin and comfort. Meghan provides EXTREMELY comprehensive, reasonably priced skincare. She is super fun to talk to and is always open to answering questions about any sort of skincare fad or procedure. Sleep through your facial or chat through it, you'll enjoy it either way! 100% recommend, go to Lumos before anywhere else! -My review isn't compensated by any means, its from the heart! read more

I've had nothing but pleasant experiences when visiting LSS! Meghan is truly passionate about skincare. Not only do you receive the best skincare, but great advice, tips, and products. In this cute suite, you'll meet with Meghan and chat briefly about any concerns or target areas. Meghan will then allow you to privately get situated on the table. You can choose from a few different oils that will be used for your facial and you can even grab a chocolate prior to. Once you're on the table, relax as the music plays & Meghan gets to it! Upon the completion of your service, you can chat with Meghan again and purchase products if you like. I advise using what's suggested as it's made a huge difference in my skin. Be sure to book your next facial at LSS! I don't let anyone else perform my facials. I live by Meghan!! Visit her, you won't regret it! read more

I visited Lumos last week, in my quest to find a highly skilled aesthetician in San Diego. I had a Rezenerate and LED light facial. I have had a ton of treatments in the past, up in the Bay Area (and a few in San Diego), but had not tried either the Rezerate or LED yet. I was super impressed with the results -- and have been glowing now, for a week since my visit. I was also impressed by how thorough Meghan is -- she explained everything to me before hand, which I thought was wonderful. She certainly knows her stuff and individualizes her approach to each client. Meghan was very generous to me with her time and energy -- I asked a lot of question and she gave me solid professional advice. The other thing I really appreciate about Meghan was that she is not trying to 'upsell.' Sometimes when I try a new place they start me out on a super mild spa like 'relaxing facial' which is not an actual treatment, in their effort to get you to come back again. That was not the case here -- she went right to an actual treatment because I made it clear that I have had a ton of peels, use active products etc., already. She did not try to sell me any products -- instead she gave me several samples that I have been enjoying since my treatment. I highly recommend Lumos and Meghan. I will be back! read more

Let me start by saying... Meghan is AMAZING!!! My son has severe acne, I have taken him to dermatologists, he's been put in antibiotics and creams, but that didn't help. Thanks to Groupon I found Meghan. She's treating my son's acne and after only two weeks I can see huge improvement. Her knowledge about acne is stunning. She explained very detail everything about acne, how it forms, how to treat it, the process, I mean everything! The products she uses are the BEST! Her office/place is so calming and relaxing... it's like aromatherapy!!! Everything in this place is just perfect! Her knowledge goes beyond acne, any skin problem or concern, or just to feel rejuvenated and fresh she's the person to go to. Meghan, Thank you so very much for helping my son feel confident again. read more

Meghan is magical. I have sensitive skin, acne and winkles, so I'm pretty picky about who works on me. The studio is cozy, warm and smells amazing. I left feeling relaxed, pampered and my skin is glowing. She knew exactly what to use on my skin and I left with noticeable results. read more

I am a new client and yesterday was my first facial after about 2 years of not having one. It was WONDERFUL! Meghan was very professional and fun to talk to. I was very comfortable. The room is so relaxing and peaceful, you seriously just have to try out this place. Just an overall perfect experience. read more

I visited Meghan for the first time this past Saturday for a Vitality facial. It was such a great experience. Meghan is very professional and knowledgeable. She took the time to sit with me before she started my service to ask me questions about how I care for my skin and to figure out my skin goals. An actual consultation! What a concept! Other estheticians should take note. I can't tell you how many times I've filled out forms when getting a facial and it's a waste of my time because most of the estheticians don't even look at them. I also appreciate that Meghan takes the time to explain what she is doing during the service and why. She made some product recommendations, but wasn't pushy about it. The environment is relaxing, very clean and smells nice! I've already booked my next appointment and will tell everyone I know to go see Meghan. read more

I have been seeing Meghan for the past ~1.5 years and am so sad I am moving to find another acne specialist. Meghan is very professional and kind. She practices very safe, sanitary practices, and listens to your needs. I have oily, combination skin and she has helped me manage my acne and keep it under control. We have discussed other aspects that could be contributing to my acne from skincare, makeup, diet, etc. The visit is very relaxing as well which includes relaxing sounds throughout, and aromatherapy with a quick little head massage at the end (Meghan you are the best for this). Her extractions are very tolerable compared to other extractions I've gotten from different estheticians in the past (which were painful and super uncomfortable). I am so lucky I got to see her again after the first reopening, and am so sad her business has closed again. So sad for those in the beauty industry right now with reclosures during COVID, but when her business opens again, she will no doubt do a great job in treating your acne/other skincare needs and promote relaxation all while maintaining sanitary practices (which is what she has always done even before COVID). Thanks Meghan . read more

Meghan is my go to girl for my skin and my lashes! I am super picky about my facials because I am prone to acne, but her acne clinic services are perfect for me to keep my skin beautiful and clear. Plus she's able to make them a very relaxing and rejuvenating experience with steam, massage and a super comfy facial bed. My lashes always look amazing thanks to her, I can rock a "natural" beauty look all the time! Thank you Meghan for being such a wonderful esthi and lash artist! I couldn't ask for someone better to help me achieve my beauty goals! read more

Such a beautiful skincare studio! Very neat, clean and relaxing. I would 100% recommend Meghan to everyone. She is very thorough and takes her time during the service. And she is very knowledgeable about skin/skincare! read more

I recently had the Glow and Go facial with Meghan and it left my skin looking amazing. I can't remember the last time it looked so great! She did extractions and it was less painful than any place I have ever gone to. Two weeks later my skin still looks and feels great. I will definitely be back for another. Meghan also recommended a face wash, moisturizer, and sunscreen. I have seen great results from ditching my old products and using the ones from Lumos. I get my eyebrows waxed by Meghan and they look amazing every time! Best service, prices, and atmosphere -- you won't be disappointed! read more

I've gone to Meghan twice so far. Both times were awesome! When I first arrived, she did an assessment of my skincare regime. I was able to tell her my concerns and what I want improved. After the facial, she provided me with a bunch of samples to help me achieve my skincare goals. The next visit, I ended up purchasing the products because they are so gentle yet effective. I also bought her spring time package of 6 vitality facials at a discounted price. My experiences were also relaxing. The second time, I even fell asleep! If you need an esthetician, see Meghan, she will take care of you. read more

Meghan is the cream of the crop when it comes to skincare. Due to stress and other reasons, I had a terrible cystic acne outbreak along my jawline (which also resulted in heavy scarring). I decided to take advantage of Meghan's Microdermabrasion special to give it a try and I was extremely impressed. My skin has since cleared up after one of her facials. It was relaxing, the location is perfect and private, extremely clean and you just feel so comfortable around Meghan. Further, she is beyond affordable w/some great prices. She really has a passion for just giving you great skin care - she really is the bomb dot com :) She is phenomenal and I will be a life long customer! Thank you Meg you worked your magic! read more

I have been going to Meghan for about 2 years now and absolutely love her customer service and the way she does facials. She does thorough facials, does not rush and its a real relaxing experience! I usually get the microderm facial but would be open to any of the services she offers. I will continue to go to her because I am a very satisfied and happy customer! read more

My, what a little gem hidden here in La Mesa! Meghan takes great care of her clients and is extremely knowledgable and skilled at her craft. She takes her time to explain things and will even email you a list of helpful products to try for acne prone skin. Highly recommend her for all your facial needs. read more

Meghan is awesome! I got a microderm & it was a great experience, very relaxing & comfortable. She's so informative & easy to talk to. She doesn't just do the service & sends you on your way she gets to know your skin & advises what's best for you & explains everything perfectly! Im excited to come back! read more

Meghan is amazing! I found her on Groupon last year and I have been going monthly for a microdermabrasion and facial. I trust her judgement based on what my skin is doing and she applies the appropriate facial mask after cleansing, extractions and the microdermabrasion. I'm oily/ acne prone and dry with the cold weather. she emailed me a list of products to avoid. She's always improving her business with upgraded products and education. read more

Thank you Meghan, had a very relaxing and great facial. I also got a little more motivated in taking better care of my face and skin.

I love my sweet n simple facial. Meghan made me feel like a new person. She even gave me a great arm massage. I felt like I was in a cloud while I was getting spoil. Meghan took time before facial to get to know my skin needs. She personalized everything from the essential oils that were put in a diffuser to the mask that she apply. I highly recommend her. read more

I purchased the Groupon microderm with pumpkin peel and let me start by telling you don't let the outside if the complex fo you as you enter the door of this quaint beautiful spa retreat you feel tranquil and relaxed. It's beautifully decorated and open inviting. Meghan welcomes you sits with you goes over what you now with your skin. Any concerns and what you would like your skin condition to be. Now she takes you into the spa room what a cute and relaxing room. The treatments were awesome way above and beyond what I expected. My skin feels awesome and looks fantastic I'm excited to go back . Thank you for an amazing job Meghan. read more

I purchased a Groupon for microdermabrasion and an enzyme mask and was not disappointed! Meghan took the time to speak with me about my concerns and was able to give advice on how to get my skin looking the best it could. The treatment was AMAZING and so so relaxing. It was like being at a spa while also getting some serious help for my skin. I can't wait to go back! read more

Meghan is fantastic! I am a repeat customer and I am so pleased I found her. The initial consultation was informative and detailed, after having my consult I better understand the purpose of a facial and the benefits. I have been getting facials for many years and nobody previously had taken the time to explain this to me. The services are provided in a very calm and relaxing atmosphere, you never feel rushed she takes time to listen to what you are looking for. Meghan offers a variety of wonderful services, easy to schedule and she is prompt in replies. If your due for some "me time" try Lumo's you won't be disappointed! read more

I found Lumos skincare studio based on Yelp reviews because yes, I trust the yelp community. I was looking for someone to treat my teenage daughter that is dealing with a case of very stubborn blackheads on her nose. After reading the reviews on several studios, I came across Meghan's and two others but Meghan was the first to return my call. I booked an appointment and was very impressed from the moment we walked in. The studio is small but very nicely decorated with a calming feeling: so cute!!! Smells amazing!!! Our first appointment included an extensive interview about my daughter which helped her to have a better insight on her skin issues. Very reasonable priced; friendly demeanor; calm and soft spoken. We plan on going there on a monthly basis. read more

I love Meghan! She has taught me so much about my skin I didn't know about. She's got me on the guide to clear skin and seeing her every couple weeks makes me more excited to go back every time. I love her studio, her work, the way my skin feels afterwards and all her recommendations to me. I am so happy to have found her and will continue to get my facials here! Thank you Meghan for making my treatments not only amazing but ALWAYS relaxing read more

Meghan is awesome. I have received many facials over the years and none better than the facials and other treatments I have received at Lumos Skincare Studio. Meghan is professional and knowledgeable. They also have a great line of skincare products, but what I love is that Meghan doesn't push them on you. She also runs great specials. I'm looking forward to my next treatment. read more

Meghan is wonderful. I bought a couple of packages for myself, gave a couple of people facials as gifts, and everyone, including myself loved them. I always felt like this was my little piece of heaven every time I went. The atmosphere is relaxing, the treatment I received was outstanding, and my skin looked and felt so nice. I would recommend Lumos to anyone who wants a great experience. Jen read more

I just had my first facial ever and Meghan was AMAZING! She explained everything to me so I knew what was happening, she was very gentle, and she provided an extremely relaxing experience! I loved the coconut and papaya enzyme treatment and all of the massages! I highly recommend Lumos to everyone and I will definitely come back each time I am in the area! read more

I absolutely loved my experience at Lumos Skincare! Walking in you immediately feel a sense of relaxation, between the beautiful decor to the aromas, you really do get a great feeling right off bat. The esthetician Meghan is superb at what she does. She really does go out of her way to make your time with her well spent. She's extremely knowledgeable when it comes to skincare and your particular needs. I loved the products that she used during my facial so much that I went home with a whole new regiment for my skin! I can't wait to book my next appointment, I can't recommend this spa enough! read more

To note: This post is not a direct reflection on Meghan as she was kind, patient, and responsive to my concerning emails. I am writing this post because I would have wanted to read this type of review while I was searching for someone to assist with my adult acne. As a teenager I suffered from mild to moderate acne and it didn't fully clear until I started to take medication when I was 24 years old. At the beginning of this year I had to go off the medication due to wanting to have a baby. One to two months after stopping the acne medication I started breaking out and began the search for local estheticians who were skilled at treating adult acne. In the middle of June I had my first appointment at Lumos Skincare Studio with Meghan and she told me about a skin product called Face Reality (which I use currently and really like). She also told me she could help clear my adult acne and when I expressed skepticism, she specially said, "this is not my first rodeo." Given Meghan's response, I trusted her and started facials and LED treatments approximately every 2-3 weeks. Unfortunately, after starting the treatments my skin immediately worsened and by July I was emailing Meghan with my concerns regarding her approach. Meghan reported in the email that the process would take at least 3 months for my skin to begin clearing. I was very worried and frustrated but trusted her as I had no other options. At the end of July Meghan emailed me before/after pictures comparing my skin to when I started treatment with her to the present. When looking at the pictures it was clear that my skin had not improved and had gotten worse. I again emailed my concerns and she stated I needed to be dedicated and patient. Given my continued frustration and unhappiness Meghan also suggested I find another Face Reality esthetician. At the time, I felt invested in Meghan and felt lost as to what to do since I didn't have any other options. I did one more treatment with Meghan right before I left on a trip to San Francisco in the beginning of August. After that session my face broke out so badly that my San Francisco trip was ruined. I couldn't take pictures or be around other people because I was so embarrassed about how my face looked. I was so frustrated and lost. I decided while on my trip in San Francisco to contact another Face Reality esthetician, as Meghan had suggested, to explore my options. It was truly the best decision I could have made for my face. I saw another Face Reality esthetician the week I returned from San Francisco and it was during this appointment everything changed. The Face Reality esthetician realized that the following products/regime were likely contributing to my acne: 1) my makeup primer, 2) my Vitamin D supplement, and 3) my Face Reality regime. After the initial session with this new Face Reality esthetician my skin improved dramatically. The esthetician told me I would see results with the new regime within 2-4 weeks (not months as Meghan had indicated) and she was correct. My face had cleared and looks amazing. I wanted to be completely transparent with Meghan so I emailed her this story to inform her that I would not be returning to her and why. When she replied to my email, she was kind and stated that she was glad I found someone to help me with my skin and glad that I took her suggestion of finding another Face Reality esthetician. I would be lying if I said I wasn't frustrated with Meghan given everything I went through (I truly think anyone would be). But, the best thing Meghan did for me was to introduce me to Face Reality products and to suggest that I seek services elsewhere. I am so happy I did not continue with Meghan as I am terrified to think where my face would be today. With all of that being said, I also have no doubt that she has helped other people with her services, she has multiple Yelp reviews to prove it. But, I truly question her ability to help adult acne suffers and wanted to write this detailed post for other people who might be in a similar situation. read more

Meghan is a true professional. I had the best facial of my life! Great advice,amazing product... I plan on making a monthly visit:)

I have been receiving treatments at Lumos Skincare with Meghan for almost a year now. I love the results I get. I am now using products and have noticed a significant difference between using the products and consistent treatments. The ambience at Lumos is so calm and inviting and Meghan is very knowledgeable about skincare treatments. I look forward to all of my appointments! read more

I was very disappointed with my last treatment at Lumos Skincare. I had 2 gift certificates for a complete package of facial, mask, and arm massage, about 45-50 minutes of pampering. When I had been to Meghan before, she was very good and this was what I had purchased again. However, I had been in the hospital, and could not use these in a timely manner. When I went yesterday, I got only 30 minutes of facial, with no mask or arm massage. Then she told me that my certificates had expired and I owed her money, which she hadn't told me when I booked my appointment. There was NO EXPIRATION DATE on my gift certificates. I thought this was a shabby way to treat an old customer.. read more

Just had the most amazing facial with Meghan. My skin was so dry and rough and by the end of my treatment she had my skin hydrated and glowing! I decided to do a back peel after talking with Meghan about some breakouts I had gotten over the summer. I'm looking forward to my next treatment! read more

Megan is absolutely amazing, she's honest and straightforward. She definitely cares about her clients best interest, and she's always available to answer any questions regarding my concerns. Best of all, her prices are affordable, I'm so glad I found her. read more

I absolutely love this studio. and Meghan is the best! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing facial.

First time there to get a microdermabrasion and Meghan was so great! She really took the time to get to know what I wanted/needed for my skin and explained everything in detail. It's clear to see she loves what she does and is passionate and eager to grow :) read more

I've been to Lumos a few times now and each experience has been exceptional. It always smells fantastic and I feel instantly relaxed just by walking through the front door. Meghan is extremely professional while being very friendly and attentive. Since I have very sensitive skin, she makes sure that products weren't irritating my skin and provides a fan when my skin gets too tingly. I highly recommend Lumos Skincare Studio to anyone wishing to experience a relaxing spa experience with a quality esthetician. read more

Came here today for the first time for the simple and sweet facial. My skin feels amazing and the aroma therapy scalp massage at the end left me so relaxed! Her studio is super cute and clean, and she locks the door when your session starts so there's no distractions and you can completely relax. The thing I was most impressed with was how knowledgeable Megan is about skin care! She answered all of my questions, even ones about services she doesn't provide. I could tell she researches what's going on in her field and is very up to date on the latest in skin care, which is super important for someone who your trusting with your skin! She took the time to suggest the best routine for my skin type and what my skin care goal are (wrinkle prevention!!) and suggested treatments for the future as well as products she thought would be best for me with out being pushy about purchasing them and sent me with several samples to try out. I will definitely be back and will suggest her to my friends as well read more

This was one of the best treatments I have ever received. Meghan was beyond amazing at what she does and gave a substantial amount of information before even starting the treatment. It only has been one day and I already see a difference in the texture and tone of my skin. read more
