I had such an incredible experience at La Di Da Sugaring! I booked a facial with Azure, and I…read morehonestly can't recommend her enough. Azure is one of those rare people who is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. She made me feel completely comfortable from the moment I walked in, took the time to assess my skin, and explained everything she was doing throughout the treatment. My skin looks brilliant, radiant, refreshed, and healthier than it has in a long time (early 40s takes its toll!) One of the biggest wins was that she was able to remove a ton of stubborn blackheads that had been bothering me, and my skin feels so much smoother because of it. She also gave me thoughtful, personalized recommendations for my skincare routine going forward without ever making me feel pressured to buy products. The space itself is clean, modern, calming, and with a beautiful view overlooking Balboa Park, which made the entire experience feel even more relaxing. If you're looking for an esthetician who is knowledgeable, genuinely caring, and delivers amazing results, I highly recommend booking with Azure. I'll absolutely be back and will be recommending her to my friends and family!

My experience with LaserAway was extremely disappointing. The sales process felt much more like…read moredealing with a used-car salesperson than a medical aesthetics business. Don't assume the first price they give you is their best price. There always a better deal available if you push back. In fact, their overall prices are not competitive at all. There are way better spas with better pricing. I was particularly disappointed with the injectable services. The injectors are straight out of school. GREEN. In fact, LaserAway advertises as a training spa. Overall, LaserAway felt more like a high-volume training environment than a boutique medical aesthetics practice focused on individualized care and quality results.

I plan to continue my laser treatments with Lyssa & definitely recommend coming here!

TLDR: Do NOT have the tech Lyssa work on you! She is…read moreextremely rude, dismissive, unprofessional, and sloppy. Full version: I've been coming to this location for laser hair removal for years. I've treated two previous areas and I'm currently working on my 3rd. I've always had consistent, thorough treatments, until last night. My most recent session with Lyssa was the complete opposite and honestly was a complete waste of money. I had gotten off work at 4 from north county and traffic was bad so I was about 10 minutes late for a 5:15 appointment. However, the clinic was not busy and I didn't see anyone after me so there was absolutely no reason for the session to be so rude and rushed the way it was. The first thing Lyssa said/asked upon us meeting for the first time was if I was there to treat my lower-face treatment. I told her I had never done that before and that maybe she was looking at another Jessica's chart since my name is so common it happens often. When Lyssa starts the laser, she asks if it was painful and I say yes, so she asks if I want to turn it down and I say no, just turn the air up higher. She said it was already at the max setting which it wasn't (I know exactly what that setting feels like after multiple past sessions), but she insisted it was without checking. The entire treatment took under TWO minutes, and she did not go over any area twice, which is the standard every other technician here has followed. That's a $70 per MINUTE session. She asked if I needed aloe and then left the room. Cold. Abrupt. Dismissive. Such a disgusting attitude. I walked out feeling like I she ripped me off and treated me like trash. I should not have to pay full price for a session that was rushed, incomplete, and performed with dismissive attitude and zero care. Instead, she gave me a horrible experience. In my way to the receptionist, I see Lyssa in the hall and she quickly turns into an EMPTY room then closes the door behind her. When I get to the receptionist, I ask for the managers info, which I only do in extreme cases. The receptionist asks me, did you not get the treatment? And I said, "Exactly... That's how short it was!" If the clinic wants to maintain its reputation, there needs to be consistency in training and expectations. What I experienced with Lyssa was unprofessional and below the standard of this location. Sometimes employees get an entitled and rude attitude when they've been somewhere for a while. The manager was supposed to call me back today and has not done so yet.

I saw this laser place was advertising a free first session so I booked with low expectations. I saw that it was a beautiful little shop so I thought, what could go wrong? Everything else. I made an appointment after struggling with their website to make a payment. Then, I was able to fit an appointment into my busy day. Not even 24 hours before my appointment, SEV messages me that there was an issue with my appointment and that they needed to reschedule me. None of the time slots they offered would work. I work 12 hour night shifts that end at 7am so when they proposed 1010, I made an exception and said that I would stay awake to make the appointment. No confirmation. It's extremely unprofessional to not only cancel less than 24 hours before the appointment, which is against their policy, but to also offer an appointment time right when they open and to not confirm it before closing for the day. I stayed in the downtown area after my shift for 3 hours to wait for this appointment after being given the impression that the appointment time would be saved for me but they informed me that they would not be able to accommodate me until 6pm. I was exhausted and flabbergasted. When I asked if they could do anything to make the situation better, they just told me that I should make an appointment for another day. No coupon for compensation, nothing. The place is in a very inconvenient area, located right next to petco park with no good parking and I definitely did not feel safe walking around by myself. So I will not be returning again to be met with inconsistency and subpar service. After reading the other reviews, this is not an isolated situation. It is a pattern. Do not trust a business like this with your body. Laser treatments are expensive but there is a reason why.

I was assured that if I completed less than 10% of the treatment, I would be eligible for a full refund. I ended up doing barely one pass and simply could not tolerate the pain. When I requested a refund, I was told they would not issue one because I had apparently been given "misinformation" by their own staff. So now I'm stuck with nearly $3,000 in credit for services I don't want or need. That is completely unacceptable. I ended up using some of the credit on Clear + Brilliant, which was essentially pointless for me, and Botox with injectors that were inexperienced and horrible. The biggest issue here is that I made a major purchase based on information their employee gave me, and when that information turned out to be wrong, LaserAway refused to take responsibility for it.

I had just moved here from Florida and went months without getting my eyebrows waxed because I was so scared of horrible past experiences and places that ruined my eyebrows. I had the best eyebrow stylist in Florida and I am extremely picky to let anyone else touch them, however, when I found Beverly at HighBrow, all my fears and concerns went away. She did a fantastic job, better than I could have hoped and listened to exactly what I wanted and what I was looking for. She made sure to really listen to me and give me exactly what I wanted. I couldnt be more happy and I am so glad I found someone in the San Diego area that I can trust with my brows! Trust me, you will not regret it! Thank you Beverly, my eyebrows wouldn't be the same without you! read more

Eva is an eyelash extraordinaire! I've had eyelash extensions before but since they were not properly placed they became uncomfortable and I had to pretty much pull 'em off. When Eva put my eyelash extensions on they look fabulous! People were asking me all the time if they were my natural lashes which makes me very happy because it means they never looked fake (I hate when you can tell a mile away that lashes are fake). So if you want fabulous lashes, at a super nice and relaxing spa, you most def need to come see Eva! read more

Hella expensive for brow waxing, but they really know what they're doing. I get my brows tinted here since I have super blonde brows. First visit was $55 for wax and tinting. The second time was $45 since I rebooked within 6 weeks. For the quality of my brows, the price is worth it. Launa is the best! Super friendly and even took her time mixing two shades to find the best color for my brows and it's lasted longer than the color another girl did my first visit. read more
