A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease of the skin that particularly affects my nails. It is very difficult to maintain on my own and all of the big nail salons want to just make my nails look pretty with polish and shove me out the door. On the other hand, Kathy is VERY thorough (like a perfectionist) and cares about the health of my nails. My hands and feet haven't felt this good in YEARS, literally. Kathy is also very pleasant and fun to talk with. I felt very welcomed by her and comfortable in her presence. I feel lucky to have found her. read more

I highly recommend getting a facial by Kathy! She evaluated my skin and suggested the type of service that would give me the most noticeable results. She did microdermabrasion and extractions and used products that left my skin glowing and smooth. It's been a long time since my skin looked and felt this good. read more

Kathy is THE BEST! If you want a personalized, thorough facial, she's your person. If you want the best foot massage you can get with your pedicure, go to Kathy! She gives wonderful manicures too. I've been going to Kathy for 25 years and I feel pampered every time. I just got a facial from her and my sister told me my skin was "glowing". I can't way enough good things about her. You won't be disappointed. I should also mention that my mom recently moved here from Texas. When she used to visit, one of her "must do's" while she was here, was go to Kathy Do. Now that she lives here, she is one of Kathy's regular customers. She won't go anywhere else! read more

Skincare is very important, especially for us that are usually in the spotlight at work and love the Sun when not at work. When it's time for me to rejuvenate my skin to keep it looking fresh and flawless I visit Nails & Skin Care by Kathy. She customizes her treatments to meet your specific skin care needs. Her facials usually include a hand and neck massage that is so soothing and relaxing. I love her exfoliation and extraction process. It is so cleansing with minimal redness. Kathy uses the finest of skincare products and technology to give you the best facial experience. Every time I visit, I am always so happy with my skin results. She really cares for your skin in a genuine way. It's not a job for her, it's more like art. Kathy is conveniently located in the 17th Street Beauty Center in Costa Mesa. She also offers personalized nail, waxing and reflexology. I had my eyebrows waxed by Kathy and wow I was very impressed with how they looked and also how long they lasted! You get so much facial treatment for the price, it's totally worth it!!! read more

Kathy administers an outstanding facial - not the "fluffy all-frills variety" you receive at a high priced spa, but a serious, thoughtfully prepared skin care treatment that targets each client's particular skin type and needs. After noticing the visible results from my first facial treatment with Kathy, I committed to having one every five weeks because my skin responds so well to her "formula." Her facials have made a marked improvement in my skin's health. Kathy is always warm and professional; her studio is clean and comfortable. She takes pride in her work and always invests that extra measure of care toward her clients' satisfaction. After decades of spending money on facials that yielded no real rewards, I'm so grateful to find an aesthetician who knows her trade. I highly recommend Kathy Do. read more

When I first went to Kathy, I was apprehensive because my feet were quite ugly, painful and somewhat numb. The numbness is caused by peripheral neuropathy. Kathy has treated my feet with care and concern. It did not happen overnight; but, not only do I have happier and much prettier feet, my feet don't have nearly as much pain and even feel ticklish at times. Having regular pedicures with Kathy's wonderful reflexology has made a world of difference, not only for my feet but for my mental outlook. No matter what shape your feet are in, Kathy will make them even better. read more

I will never go to another salon again! Kathy is warm and professional and always willing to squeeze me in when I call last minute. Her space is very clean and inviting. She gives the best reflexology pedicure massage in town and really takes the time to make you feel special! read more

I have been a loyal client of Kathy's since 1996. She did my nails for my wedding! She has become more than just an amazing esthetician over the years, but a friend as well. I refer her to all my friends and all have been impressed with her. Her facials are the best around. She takes the time and designs a facial that is the best for your skin. Kathy's work ethic and quality of service is the reason I have been a loyal customer for so many years. She gives the same 100% as she did back in 1996 and takes pride in her work. Her pedicures are so good that my mom books an appointment when she comes in from out of state for a visit! read more

I have been using the facial services by Kathy Do for 14 years now and my mother for 10 years. I have sought these services by others and nothing compares to the delightful 2 hour treatment one gets from Kathy. It's a full-on facial of many steps and inbetween the facial, my hands, neck, head and arms are fully massaged. It's an incredible relaxing time. Additionally, she has found things on my skin and suggested I see a dermatologist of which I am grateful. I might add that my mom and I drive 26 miles (round trip) for this incredible experience every 3 months. Nobody compares to Kathy Do and her services. Rhonda Domeno read more
