I've been going to Krista for 5 years now, and she's done wonders for my skin and helped me develop a genuine bond with it. Over the years, Krista has been there for me through thick and thin, helping me navigate the ups and downs of my skincare journey. Thanks to her, my skin is the happiest and healthiest it's ever been. Whenever I have a question or a concern, I know I can rely on Krista to come up with a strategy that works. If you're looking for a truly transformational experience, I can't recommend Krista enough! read more

I just went and had the most incredible facial service, and also waxing by Krista! She is definitely experienced in what she does, very professional, and her place is super clean and has such a relaxing ambiance. She uses high quality products, and they all smell amazing! I HIGHLY recommend Krista for all your skin care needs!! read more

I can't speak highly enough of Krista! I've been going to her over a year now for waxes and just did her 3-series facials to get ready for my wedding. I have sun damage on my forehead and beginning concerns for aging/forehead lines and nasolabial folds, but with the 3 series facial, she drastically reduced these areas of concern and I felt so confident the day my wedding came, thank you Krista!! read more

See all

Krista is the best! She is caring and knowledgeable and has improved my skin greatly. All of her products are top-notch as they feel good, smell good and improve my skin. 10/10 for me! Thank you Krista! read more

Krista is the best esthetician i have ever been to! She is very personable, knowledgeable and always customizes each of my facials to what my skin needs at the time of appt. She always goes above and beyond throwing in little extra steps and explaining what each step will do along the way. My skin always feels so hydrated and healthy when i leave. She has also found ways to support my daily skin routine that fits my budget, which i super appreciate not feeling like i am being upsold on products (which as been the case in the past for me). I cant recommend Krista enough! I drive a hour just to see her! read more

I've been going to Krista for years and the difference in my skin is amazing! My skin went from being super problematic and acne prone to clear, bright, and dewy (on good days lol). She's super knowledgeable and always has such great at-home care recommendations and tips. Her studio is cute and cozy. I always feel pampered and refreshed after an appointment. read more

I've been coming to Krista Skincare for several years and have always received excellent personalized individually tailored treatment for my skin type or what ever condition my face may be in during my visit. Krista has so many types of seasonal facials that it's always a wonderfully new experience. She also is very educational, with a wealth of knowledge that enables you to take care of your skin in between visits. I'm always learning something new every visit. She's taken years off the appearance and I would highly recommend trusting your face to Krista! read more

Krista is awesome, she's so sweet and kind and really knows her stuff. My skin looks and feels amazing since seeing her. Also she has the best rose water! read more

Krista is amazing, I found her via Groupon and have been going ever since. My face was in pretty bad shape however after a few treatments with Krista, I can see significant results. My skin tone is even with a brighter complexion. Every treatment is unique to fit the clients needs. She only has to look at your skin and can tell exactly what treatment is needed. I saw Krista yesterday and received a compliment from a coworker today. She said, "your face is glowing". I'm not sure if I want to give away my little secret. read more

Krista is the best! She is super smart and always knows exactly what my skin needs, plus she's just as sweet as be.

If you're looking for your new skincare guru, you've found her. Krista is the most talented and amazing esthetician I've ever used. About a year before my wedding I started trying out people around town for facials, knowing I wanted to see someone regularly before the big day. I went to about 6 different people before finding Krista, and now I've been seeing her consistently for two years. She is AMAZING and I hope I can keep seeing her forever (her retirement party someday will be VERY sad for me! Lol!) I refer everyone to her because 1) she knows EXACTLY what she's doing. She's like a skincare scientist. She's a lifelong learner and you can tell she continues to educate herself on the "why's" of skincare/products/treatments and is able to communicate that to you. 2) She has the best bedside manner -- whether you want to just be quiet and relax or if you want her to geek out and tell you every step of what she's doing, she will flow with whatever you want. 3) Your skin will seriously never look better. She treats each client like her own personal pet project. She knows exactly what she needs to do over the course of the treatments to get your skin looking fabulous. My skin was unbelievable for my wedding -- smooth, glowing, supple, moisturized, HEALTHY. And now, I'm pregnant and my skin and hormones are changing so much but Krista is on top of it and keeping my skin "in shape" throughout my pregnancy. This is such a long review, but I seriously just love her and know you will too! There is no one better in San Diego. read more

I found Krista's old salon through Groupon because I was getting really sick of going to one of those hyped up chain wax salons. Although I was a 6+ year regular, service kept getting worse. I started getting burned more, my ingrown hairs somehow got worse, and I hated that they consistently tried to up-sell me when I always went for the same appointment. I'm so glad I made the switch about a year ago because Krista is phenomenal! (I'm speaking on her waxing since I've never received any other services) She has truly perfected her trade and made it her own. She is knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and informs you when you have any questions or concerns. Waxing will always be painful but it's so much more bearable because I fully trust Krista. read more

I originally found Krista through Groupon when she was at a different location. My first facial was so great that I followed her once she moved to her own (very cute) suite! I have been getting facials with her pretty steadily for the last year. Krista is very knowledgeable about skincare and will eagerly tell you all about the procedures she is using. She is happy to provide recommendations, but is never pushy. Krista takes the time to listen to your concerns and adapt your experience. My skin has greatly improved since seeing Krista and I owe so much of it to her and her skills and knowledge! Not to mention, her skin looks great - so I trust her! If you're in need of a facial, I definitely recommend Krista!! read more

Stop your search and book with Krista! She'll give you the most naturally beautiful eyebrows. I have been consistently going to Krista for my eyebrows and skincare since 2010. I don't trust anyone else with my wild eyebrows! Krista is sensitive to my needs and gives the best facials. Now that I live in Imperial Beach I drive about 30 min for Krista, and she's worth every mile ;) I will not go anywhere else in San Diego. Krista made me beautiful for my wedding in 2013. I was planning on just doing hair, makeup, and nails elsewhere, and she gave me so many other suggestions for completing a perfect bridal look. Things I wouldn't have thought about. Krista knows her stuff! Thanks Krista! read more

I have been a client of Krista's for years, even before she moved to Sola. She has changed my skin and I seriously cannot live without this lady! Thank you Krista , for always making my visit a pleasant one. read more

I've been seeing Krista for over two decades. She helped me develop a skin care routine that is affordable and practical for my skin. Her facials are phenomenal. She works with amazing products that I feel very safe using, even while I was pregnant. I live out of state now and when I'm in San Diego, she is the first person I see. She has an incredible passion for providing the best experience and value for every client. read more

Krista is awesome at what she does. I have been going to her for waxing for 10+ years and have never had any issues. I would not trust anyone else to do my brows. She is reliable and easy to communicate with, very friendly and her shop is always very clean. Defiantly would recommend to anyone. read more

Excellent estitician and lovely person. My skin and brows are truly the healthiest and in best shape they have ever been. I prefer natural beauty/makeup and Krista helps me achieve that through her facials. I have been to many medi spas/estiticians, Krista is the best. read more

I would give Krista a million stars if I could!! She's the absolute best in SD! She's very knowledgeable about skincare/health and has amazing product lines that she uses. Krista's easy to talk to and is very passionate about her work. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for facials, waxing, products, etc read more

Krista is truly amazing at what she does. I have been to many estheticians over the years and I have never met someone who understands skin like she does (she has it down to a science). She doesn't take a "one size fits all" approach and really analyzes your skin and does what's best for you. I refer Krista to everyone I know looking for a facial and I go to her religiously. She doesn't try to upsell anything and is extremely honest and knowledgeable. I am so happy every time I leave her and my skin has never looked better. She is very sweet and easy to talk to which makes our time together fly by. I cannot recommend Krista enough. read more

I had an exceptional facial by Krista, I can't rave enough about her, she is professional, incredibly skilled, friendly, super sweet, Absolutely love Krista! She takes the time to truly evaluate your skin and let you know the most effective form or treatment that will lead you the best results. She explained what she was doing and why and had a great recommendations for how to take care of mu skin at each step which I really appreciated. Simply amazing and a result I never achieved with any other esthetician I have seen. I'm in beauty industry and I have tried so many esthetician and she is the BEST, hands-down! You couldn't be in better hands. Thank you Krista for taking a good care of my skin! Highly recommended! read more

This review is long overdue! I've been going to Krista consistently for facials for a year now. She's amazing! Seriously, my acne prone skin has completely changed in texture. I go every 8 weeks and rotate between her acid and enzyme facials. Her products are all natural but don't be fooled, they work and are just as intense as non natural remedies. After my facials I do look a bit rough for about a week, but the results after are worth it! I even use the Skinscripta skin care line she sells. Go see her, you won't regret it! read more

I have been going to Krista for facials since December 2014 and every 5-6 weeks since then. I've never been the person who needs to get a facial on a regular basis, I always thought of it as more of a luxury thing to do once a year and since I've always had good skin I really never thought I had to. I initially went to Krista on a referral because I had been going through a ton of hormonal changes that caused me to break out. I was very happy with the results and came back after 6 weeks like she suggested. Since then, my skin has cleared, pores have gotten smaller and I generally just feel like it looks more refreshed. I just had my engagement pictures done and got a facial the week prior knowing it would really make a difference in how smooth my makeup went on. She knows exactly what to use and not to use as far as peels and such for occasions such as pictures. I could not be happier and really enjoy the experience every time I go as much as I do the results. I've sent over 5 friends to her and they all lover her work! read more

Krista is the BEST! I am so thankful that I found Krista. I FINALLY have an esthetician that I LOVE in San Diego. She gives the best Bikini waxes, quick, basically painless and knows how to get ALL the hairs off- that is CRITICAL! I love my waxes from her. I recently got a coconut/Papaya enzyme treatment facial- AMAZING! Best facial I have ever had! Not one of those "let me wash your face for you with 6 different products" kind of facial. Krista gives great facials! My skin is looking great and I cannot wait to see what it looks like at my wedding in 6 months. Krista- You have a client for life! I will keep referring my friends to you! read more

I have been going to see Krista for over 6 years now and I, my friends & family, have seen dramatic improvement in my skin. Krista's knowledge and treatments are top notch and her true caring nature shines through. The daily skincare education Krista has shared with me is outstanding! Each session, and I go EVERY 5 weeks, is amazing, relaxing! If I could, I'd rate Krista Skin Care a solid 10! THE best! read more

Krista is an experienced, well trained esthetician! I've been in the industry for over 25 years, so I KNOW! I love the products she uses and their retail prices are very reasonable. She is knowledgeable and so very kind. My skin was radiant when I left!! Literally took 10 years off! I look forward to my regular facials with Krista and believe it's a wonderful investment in my self care. So happy I found her! read more

Krista is the best! I am so thankful for her. My skin is very sensitive so I was always hesitant about waxing, but after my experience with her I will never go back to shaving. She does incredible work, and is also so friendly which makes every one of my experiences with her amazing. read more

Krista is a master at her art. The difference between seeing Krista for your eyebrows and anyone else is extreme. Krista puts an extraordinary amount of time and effort into shaping and planning the perfect brow for your face. I will never go to anyone else. She also has a great personality and makes the overall experience feel like talking to a girlfriend. read more

I have been seeing Krista for about 2 years now and she is amazing!! After recently moving to Pacific Beach, I was searching for a new waxer and I found her on Groupon. I have not been anywhere else since!! She always does an excellent job and is great conversation! She knows more about my life than most people. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for Brazilian waxing (or any skin care service). read more

Bought facial and glycolic peel from groupon. I was impressed with the result even only after one treatment. I had some acne bumps and Krista was able to get rid of it! She uses natural peel from fruits and not harsh chemical. She is located in the Sola Salon in Clairemont. Looking forward for my next visit. read more

Krista is hands down the best skin expert! She has transformed my skin with each visit, minimizing my pores, reducing red spots, and giving affordable achievable skin goals between each visit. Wouldn't go anywhere else for a facial in San Diego :) read more

Krista has made my skin better than ever!! I was prepping for my wedding and she set me up with a plan including my waxing (I'm hairy.. It's embarrassing but the truth)! By the time my wedding came around (17 Oct 15) my skin was glowing!! My eyebrows were the best that anyone has ever seen.. Even my Dad noticed.. Kind of a big deal! Then we did the arm wax.. I won't play that did not feel relaxing! but I had the best arms ever, I may even be addicted to smooth arms. It is a much faster regular life prep after the shower because before it was a solid 3.5 minutes of smoothing arm hair down! Basically she's the best! Go to her especially if you have inappropriately hairy arms or skin stuff.. She handles it all with a smile! Love her! read more

Krista is the most knowledge person in the area when it comes to skincare! She can make your skin look better immediately and will assist you in continuing your skin care routine at home. Wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

I originally found Krista through a Groupon and I'm glad I did because she is awesome! Krista customizes the facial to meet your skins needs and she also gives recommendations for your skin care routine. She is very professional and knowledgeable in what she does. If you are looking for a new esthetician for facials look no further. read more

Krista is my girl for all waxing and skin services! Since the first time I discovered her (on groupon) I knew I would be back. She is extremely talented - my Brazilian waxes are always perfect plus she is quick, accommodating, and CLEAN! She offers a ton of valuable skin knowledge and info! Her peels and facials are incredibly relaxing as well! Highly recommend her!! read more

Krista is absolutely amazing! If you want someone meticulous to give you a Brazilian wax she is your woman! She makes sure there is never a hair left behind! I've never had a better wax! Plus she is super nice and fun to talk to! read more

I've been going to Krista for a few years for facials and waxes. I've only gotten a few facials at other places, but I've never seen results like I do with Krista's. She is my favorite:) I trust everything she recommends because she knows her products and her skin! read more

Absolutely the best facial I have ever had! You can actually FEEL it working in the chair and for the next several hours after! She is great at tailoring the mixture to your skin and is by far one of the more reasonably priced places I've ever seen! Not to mention, the Salon she works in is a one stop shop for every girls needs! I'll be back for sure =) thanks Krista! read more

I had purchased a groupon for a facial package and it was seriously the best facial I have ever experienced! She customized the facial to my exact needs and throughout the whole process she explained exactly what she was doing and why she was doing and how it benefits me and feeding my brain with knowledge on things I can do at home like supplements that encourage healthy skin and hormone balance *i have hormone issues* she didn't push any sales on me and frankly I don't think she would ever need to, with her tender approach and oozing passion for skin just makes you want to never leave and definitely come back! I had her do my eye brows which I was super nervous about because I haven't had any one new do them in over a year but it needed to be done Haha I expressed my concerns like how I hate that my eye brows always look different and one of them grows down but I assured her that I completely understand that they can't be the same and yadayada then she finished them and told me to take a look they looked good but I didn't really examine them till I got into the car and holy brows!!! They've never looked this symmetrical and just down right amazing!! I was seriously blown away. She gave a take home goodies to try which was so thoughtful and kind. If you're thinking about trying out a facial here or any of the many things she offers YES GO you will not regret it! She is so knowledgeable and just loves what she does and that shows. My skin looks flawless and now I'm hooked I don't ever what to leave my skin in anyone else's hands! read more

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE Krista! She ALWAYS does such a fantastic job on my facials. She listens to your concerns and addresses them. She is gentle and gives great advice for your skin care needs. She uses the best products on her clients and you leave feeling refreshed and amazing. I cannot say enough great things about Krista. I have been going to her for facials since 2005! I usually stick with the basic facial with the pumpkin enzyme add on but we tried the coconut mango moisturizing facial this time and Oh My Gosh! It was Amazing! Thank you Krista for another great facial! read more
