Today, 6/25/2020 was Irina's reopening day for her services and I was stoked to get my facial. Before the quarantine, I bought a deal for $150.00 and that included 3 European Facials for 60 minutes each. I was able to use one of them today. This was my 2nd time in going to her and it's been 3 years since the last time I had her service. Let's just say, first impression lasts! If you've never been to her services, she is located inside a dental office. Her directions how to get there is precise since it's a little confusing with the navigation map. Once you find the dental office, you come in and with the new guidelines, you need to wear a mask and put some hand sanitizer. The dental office ladies are very welcoming as they let Irina know you're there. Since it's been awhile when I had my facial with her, I had to fill out a client form plus some forms about COVID. Then, it was time for the facial which Ali was allowed to have my mask off. The pictures here in Yelp is still exactly the same (her purple room). She even showed me today what wipes she used to sanitize in between the appointments today. Irina was wearing a mask, face shield and gloves. My appt was at 12:30pm and we got started at 12:40pm. As seen on her website, "Fabulously customized to suit your special needs, perfect for first time spa user . This complete facial includes a deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation, light extractions and ultrasonic skin spatula , high frequency. Followed by a custom masque and face, neck and shoulder massage. This is an enjoyble and relaxing facial with skin care benefits.", Irina followed exactly what she stated. I've been discouraged with my last facials as they were afraid of doing extractions on my face. Irina is the only one that does something after face extractions so your open pores won't get infected. We finished to the hour at 1:40pm. I can't wait to go back on my next appointment in August and hopefully I can pay the extra money so I could experience her back facial services. read more

Irina's expertise in giving facials is definitely top notch! I'm one who has received facials for decades and decades from many different people. When I moved to SanDiego, I also tried a few facialists and it wasn't until I received a recommendation for iAesthetics and used Irina, that I felt I never had to search further. She identified my needs, listened to my concerns and has now been my only facialist for at least five years. I'm not planning on going any place else! read more

This was the absolute best facial I've ever had and I've had about 30 in my life. She really worked to get my black and white heads out. I was so relaxed for the massage part I almost fell asleep. Amazing place would recommend read more

I just move so I was looking for a place for waxing. I ended up going to iAesthetics a little scared due to the covid but Irina make sure to take all the needed measures to keep everything clean and as she says she was a doctor so she is super aware of maintaining all the cleaning standards. The waxing was great and then I go back for a european facial (the massages were amazing!) and the facial was great. I am super happy with the service provided and going back for sure. read more

What an incredible service by a lovely, tender, caring woman. She is knowledgeable and has such gentlr touch. Her personality shines thru. Make an appointment soon and you will continue to go back again and again. read more

I had an amazing facial from Irina! I love that she uses organic products during the facial, and she explains what she is doing as she moves throughout the process. Definitely coming back for my next facial! read more

I've been seeing Irina for facials every 4 weeks for over a year. I wouldn't think of not going! I have very sensitive skin and I never have a problem with any of her products. It's hard to get an appointment unless you book in advance but you never feel rushed once you're there. Irina makes you feel like her only customer. She stays up to date in her practice and you get great results! read more

This is my 2nd time to see Irina in a year and only because she's solidly booked a month out in most cases. I love her specialized treatments. She asks just enough questions, and uses her own knowledge to assess your personal condition. I really appreciate how she spends a significant amount of time on extractions, which is what I need. She's very gently and professional. I feel very calm and relaxed in her beautifully decorated space. Headed back for a peel this Fall. Thanks Irina!! ~Sheila read more

I go to Irina for facials and eyebrow waxing - she's great! She customizes each facial to what your skin needs. She has also given me tips on what I can do to help my skin moving forward. Thanks Irina! read more

I visit Irina once per month for about one year, I tried others in Greater San Diego Area but I'm sure for 100% this aesthetics is one of the best! She knows what she is doing, she has a medical background and can advice depends on your skin type and preferences. Maybe she doesn't tell what exactly type of mask she is applying, but you can ask her and Irina will tell everything you want to know (I don't like citrus odors, so she found the same mask with another fragrance). Sometimes I'm asking her about masks I've read about and most of the times she has them! Irina is a wonderful and knowledgeable person, she attends different professional courses and seminars, always up to date; I've was never upset with what she was doing. read more

iAesthetics in Encinitas is the place to go if you want an excellent, relaxing and perfectly administered facial! The first facial Irina gave me was astonishing. I had a small bump, yes bump, on my face that no aesthetician had taken the time to remove and yes, gone forever! I totally recommend her if you need a splendid facial you can relax and know it's going to work for you. Satisfied client: Coty B. read more

Just had a facial today. She was amazing and did a great job! My skin felt amazing after leaving and I rebooked my next appointment. Her space is cozy and relaxing :) highly recommend! read more

Had a great facial from Irina! She uses all organic products that smell amazing, is gentle but thorough in her technique, and the massage is amazing as well. I had to bring my 3 month old with me and she rocked his seat too, so he would stay quiet and I could relax. She is super sweet and does an excellent job, and I would highly recommend. read more

Irina is a wonderful, talented Esthetician!!! She makes you feel pampered and taken care of! Your skin will glow after her facials. Wonderful personality and charisma for what she does. read more

I got a European facial today at iAesthetics and loved it! My face looks super clean from any blackheads/breakouts and moisturized, which was exactly what I was trying to achieve. Irina was very professional and she's a very pleasant person. She uses all organic products which was important for me. The room was very clean and nicely decorated. I would definitely recommend her and will be back again! read more

Irina is a skin goddess. Every time I leave my skin glows! Not at all irritated from harsh extractions or poor product. She manages to unclog every pore with gentle precision and uses PCA brand products. I have too often paid double for the price for half the facial. I'm a skin snob and Irina is the best. I'm ecstatic!!! read more

Great place for facials & peels- in a calming environment :) I am a fan!

I was looking for a new person to wax my brows as the gal I had been seeing was raising her prices. Irina does a wonderful job! She doesn't rush, is very thorough and the price is right. read more

Irina is the quintessential professional! She creates a calm, relaxing environment that feels like a visit to a spa. She is very thorough, gracious, gentle, and caring, all the while unclogging every pore. I leave her office with a sense of peace. I cannot recommend her highly enough! read more

Irina was totally sweet and calm. I got a Brazilian Wax, which can be a little nerve-wracking, but Irina was super empathetic. She was very thorough but the entire visit only took 15 minutes. I will definitely come back! read more

Absolutely fabulous facial at very reasonable price. Irina is knowldegable, caring and pays attention to details. I had a 90 min facial. The products that Irina selected worked well, and i was left with clear skin that was hydrated but was not greasy. Highly recommended!! read more

Wow !!!!! I love this place!!! I was looking for a very good aesthetician when I just moved to Encinitas, I found her from Yelp and I am very glad that I went there. She was very gentle when she did my facial and very calm atmosphere and nice soft music !! I slept the entire time...... my skin felt so soft when she finished. She has a lot of knowledge when I asked her some questions, I highly recommend her to every one. read more

I absolutely LOVE the services you get here. Every facial I have got with Irina, makes me feel like I'm on a mini relaxing vacation, getting pampered and spoiled. She goes above and beyond to give you the best service ever. You will not regret choosing her. read more

"Irina is a nice person and her office is very clean and relaxing, however, she told me nothing about the products she was using nor did she tell me anything she was doing or going to do on my face. When someone turns on something that sounds like a drill and tesla chord and puts it towards my face, I would like to know exactly what it is. I have no idea what cleansers, creams or solutions she used on me which would have been nice to know. But my face felt nice and smooth and fresh afterwards and her prices are reasonable." read more

I just recently visited this place and it exceeded all my expectations. The room feels like a piece of heaven on earth: airy curtains, sophisticated serene violets, elegant pillows, relaxing music. I was greeted by aesthetician Irina, she made me feel welcome right away. I really needed my eyebrows shaped and Irina did a wonderful job at it: it was almost painless, I love how my eyebrows look now, she really knows what shape works for my face. Also, Irina gave me a facial and an algae mask: her touch was very gentle, I cannot believe how soft my skin feels after the treatment. Also, my skin looks much clearer now, skin tone seems to have improved and even pores look smaller. I felt very relaxed and rejuvenated after the treatment, it definitely was the highlight of my day. Also, Irina gave me a few makeup tips that I found very useful. I asked Irina about her background and was amazed to find out that she has a medical degree from Russia and her specialty is plastic surgery!!! Irina's knowledge of one's face is more than skin deep. I will definitely come back for more treatments and will recommend Irina to all of my friends. Thank you, Irina! read more
