I was introduced to this aesthetic center after doing a series of injectables with a mobile medspa that used this location. I wasn't particularly looking for any services but ended up talking to Laura about her work in eyebrow microblading. It was really impressive. Laura has been doing different forms of "permanent makeup" -eyebrows, lips, eyeliner, etc. She creates a very natural effect- not overdone and it's not noticeable that it's been done at all. I had my eyebrows filled in a bit with natural-looking strokes that look like individual brow hairs. She took the time to look at my face and measure out the exact proportions that would be flattering for my face shape. I appreciated the extra time that she took to explain the process and what to expect. She has a take-home packet that explains each stage of the healing process so I got reassurance along the way and knew that everything is on track. Her attention to detail is great. read more

Eileen is a Fabulous aesthetician! I just had a facial with microdermabrasion and a micro-needling and my skin has never felt better. The treatment was relaxing and i feel great. I can't wait to go back. Five Stars!! read more

This is the best day spa anywhere! Check out their suite of services and I promise you won't be disappointed. My family has been coming here for years and the staff and ownership are the best in the industry bar none :-) We love Nufaces! If you want a relaxing atmosphere and wonderful team you have to give them a try. read more

Amazing facial from Eileen. One of the highlights to my month. You walk out feeling like you just had a week away!

Jolie is the absolute best. I don't live locally (and haven't for ten years) but she is still the only one I will trust with my eyebrows. She delivers perfect shape and I have never left unhappy! She also gives amazing facials and leaves me with skincare tips that have dramatically improved the clarity and hydration of my dry, acre-prone skin. The real reason for my review, however, is the INCREDIBLE job Jolie did on my wedding makeup. After ten years of visiting her, I didn't know Jolie did professional makeup for events and weddings. Fortunately, my mom learned of her additional talent on a visit to Nufaces, and one makeup trial later, we booked her. Jolie's calming presence and her perfectionist touch was exactly the way I wanted to start my day. She is very skilled and my makeup lasted well into the next day. Jolie does a beautiful job and I would highly recommend her for any of her services, but she does a great job with professional makeup that will last! I cried happy tears on the day of my wedding and it left no streaks and looked fresh for 12+ hours. Jolie did such a great job that we hired to do family makeup for my brother's wedding, too! read more

It's pretty frustrating when you're really busy and you make the time to drive up somewhere to make a purchase and then when you get there, they tell you that they don't know how to sell you it. I just wanted a gift card and apparently nobody in the whole office was trained on how to sell one. what a waste of time. read more

i would not waste my money which is not inexpensive on purchasing nuface mini. it does not work. i use it everyday and see no results. read more

If you've skimped to save $$ on getting your skimpy bits waxed, and been at the mercy of some unforgiving hands tearing out hair on your most sensitive areas, let Jolie alleviate your PTSD with her compassion, tenderness, and attention to detail. Never have I experienced this level of care with Brazilian Waxing, Jolie is an absolute treasure and while I normally pay $~45 before tip for Brazilian, $60 is SO WORTH IT for the care and high quality product she uses! I like to think of myself as a hardened veteran for this kind of service, who can "handle" rougher methods used to cut corners and save some money but I did myself the biggest favor ever by booking with her!! An absolute angel read more

Dominique was very professional yet friendly, highly recommended for first time try out botox.

I've been wanting eye brows Forever!! Why did I wait so long? Laura asked me that & I thought about it... I was afraid they would look crazy & I'd b stuck w them tatoo'd on. Laura hooked me up! I look great & wont have to go out w/o brows ever again. They will look dark for a few days & I plan for that but hopefully I will never have to sit in makeup mirror trying to draw them on even or forget my brow pencil & look weird for the weekend. Wasnt painful, only took hour of my life, cost $650 not bad, she shaped them better than I did with all my practice lol read more

Eileen is great & a super nice person to deal with. Ina addition the location is very tranquil. Highly recommended to everyone. read more

I had the most amazing body wrap here! I have not felt this relaxed in a LONG time. This treatment included so much cleansing, touching, revitalizing, along with yummy smells. Everyone working here was super friendly and sending out warm welcoming vibes. Anette did the treatment and she was exceptional! Definitely treat yourself to some self love at this amazing place! read more

Horrible little dinky place. Staff is rude and unknowledgable. I thought I had found my perfect spa, right next to the beach and the prices aren't too bad. I was ready to spend 100% of my spa allotted money here. My services started with an eyebrow wax. They completely ripped off my eyebrows and wouldn't grant me a refund. A little call to American Express gave me my money back, but what a hassle. After having my brows ripped off I mainly consulted with Eileen, the owner, who kept telling me that I had "designer eyebrows," then offered to teach me how to draw them back on my face. Hmmm I have designer eyebrows yet I still need to learn how to crayon them on? I let her teach me then was astonished as she tried to sell me the eyebrow pencils. You ruined my face for the summer, shouldn't I get a free pencil? That's ok because I found my savior, Spa Violet, in Cardiff. read more

I am a San Diego based model, and my face and skin is my livelihood. I will only trust my face to Jolie. She has given me facials for the past 4 years, and my skin has never looked better or more clear! Jolie always takes a few minutes at the beginning of the facial to assess what my skin needs at that time. It's not always the same. She also knows if I've been traveling, because my skin will be dry. She always gives my skin exactly what it needs. Not only does Jolie give me facials, but she also waxes and shapes my eyebrows. When I used to do it on my own, make up artists used to yell at me for being crooked or over plucked. Since Jolie started doing them, I get happy make up artists, because they don't have to reinvent my eyebrows for a runway or photo shoot. For prices, how can you put a price on someones services like Jolie? The service with a smile, knowledge, and genuine caring is priceless. If you have sensitive troubled skin, I highly advise you make your appointment today to see Jolie. She is the best San Diego has to offer! read more

Eileen started doing my brows a few months back and I have received numerous compliments. She keeps my natural shape and always has availability when I need a little touch up! Thank you read more

I found this place on Yelp and all the reviews were GREAT so i was sold ! I made my appointment with Eileen and she is the sweetest. The facial was AMAZING & her extractions were painless which is a huge plus for me because I've been to places were i'm in tears when the extractions are done. After letting Eileen know i had my esthetician license too she was refreshing my memory on what she was doing and product knowledge was great and i so appreciated that. The bed was so cozy and she heated it up for me which relaxed me so much. Cant wait to go back. read more

Jolie is the best, we have been going to Jolie for brows, facials and makeup, definitely recommend Jolie and NuFaces. She really cares about your skin and getting the best results. My daughters go to Jolie and she is so mindful of educating them how to best take care of their skin. Thanks Jolie read more

I was recommended to Jolie Budau at NuFaces over a year ago and I have to say, I won't go to anyone else to take care of my face. She is extremely knowledgeable and genuinely cares about fixing my face when the break outs are upon me. Full facials are not part of my budget, but Jolie offers 15 minute appointments where she focuses on the problem area and wipes it out. Whenever I feel a breakout coming on, I text Jolie and have an appointment usually that day or the next, she works her 15 minute magic, and my face is glowing and clear. I cannot say enough about how grateful I am to have Jolie as my personal face doctore :) read more

My first appointment with Jolie Budau started like this: I had an unexpected FREE 1/2 hour consultation! Has this ever happened with any of your estheticians? It was just like a medical office. She inquired about my diet, lifestyle and medical history - she helped me understand that beauty is about the whole body - wow! I was apprehensive - you see, I have very sensitive skin, and have been to other estheticians who didn't understand this. I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing my skin felt (and still feels!) when she was done doing her magic. As the facial progressed, I was fully educated through each step as to the specifics of what my skin needed. I was able to relax, knowing I would be leaving with skin that felt great. I would highly recommend her skills to anyone looking to establish an excellent rapport with an educated individual. Her professionalism and personal care took the cake over any other facial I have ever had. Not only was it informative but also highly relaxing knowing that my skin would shine in her hands. My skin felt like a million bucks when she was done with it! I think I actually fell asleep during the massage. I have found my esthetician for life and I will never look any further. Thank you, Jolie, for making my treatment perfect! read more

If you are ready to get serious about your skin, you have to see Jolie, she is amazing, stands by her work 100% and goes above and beyond every time! My boyfriend and I both see her, she explains everything thoroughly. gives recommendations within your budget, keeps it simple and is just the cutest thing ever, so down to earth and friendly, never judging or snobby. I was initially referred to Jolie by my sister who spoke very highly of her and sure enough I was not disappointed. She squeezed me & my boyfriend into her schedule, and worked her magic on us. We both saw her for different concerns, I was interested in anti aging/ skin discoloration, my boyfriend had acne concerns. we were seen different days but both left very happy customers, money well spent! She specializes in all kinds of skin concerns also free consultations. I will definitely continue seeing her and recommend her to anyone searching for an esthetician, she will not disappoint you! read more

I've been getting facials from Jolie for years, and I have never been disappointed! Last week, I got the Rezenerate stem cell facial and have been LOVING the results! My skin feels so luminous and lively- I have genuinely never been this in love with a facial! I also would like to add that Jolie is an eyebrow WIZARD and can make all of your eyebrow dreams come true. Highly highly highly recommend!!! read more

My friend treated me for a birthday spa treatment. Had a massage with Kasey and a Facial from Eileen. Such lovely staff and a peaceful spa. Was running a little late but the staff were very calm and understanding which we appreciated greatly. I had a full body massage. Kasey was thorough and addressed all my areas we previously discussed. Her pressure was just right and the ambiance of the spa is very personable and sweet. I relaxed so much I felt like a noodle afterwards. :) Facial was last. Eileen definitely knows her stuff about skin. She did a full assessment and picked a plan that was most prevalent to my skin type. I learned so much from her. She educated me on every product she gave me which I really enjoyed and took away all my nasty pores and blackheads. Face felt baby smooth afterwards and smelled like pumpkin for her holiday special. I highly recommend seeing the spa. I would definitely check her out to host my next ladies event such as bridal shower or bday weekend or perhaps a "me" day because we all definitely need more of those :) Oh and I want her to perm my eyelashes. Was so excited when I saw that on her brochure Got to check out this play. Highly recommend this place if you want relaxation or beauty day! read more

Got the pumpkin enzyme facial treatment via a groupon deal. I thought this would be a facial with the enzyme treatment, which was not the case. They put the product on and off and that was it. No steaming to open the pores, no facial massage that normally comes with a facial (she did touch my face twice if you want to count that). Afterwards I checked their website again, and they list facial and facial treatment into different groups - maybe they do not do any of the normal facial procedures under "facial treatment"? In that case, future YELP customers should know what to expect. What I found unacceptable was that she did not even turn on the light and have a look at my skin. What is the point to go to a professional if all they did was putting the product on? I could have bought the product and do it at home. And why having me to fill out the questionnaire if she did not even look at it? I was not given any personalized attention. In short, I was in and out the spa in 30 minutes. Yes, 30 minutes and that included being offered a cup of tea, filling out the questionnaire, changing into the robe, the treatment, dressing up, and checking out. I was disappointed. read more

I recently discovered Jolie when looking for a last minute facial during an icky breakout. She squeezed me in right away and spent a ton of time in the initial consultation asking me all about my lifestyle, diet and skin concerns. She then applied a variety of techniques (explaining all along) without up charging me for the extras - she even said her philosophy is to do what's needed whatever that may be. I left with beautiful glowing skin that was not in the least overworked despite her thoroughness. My husband immediately noticed and complimented it when I got home even though he didn't know I had gone for a facial! The very next day I had a lingering area of inflammation and she again squeezed me in to take care of it (and threw in a great brow wax to boot)!again without up charging. Jolie has earned a loyal client as I know she will keep my skin looking its best while also respecting my wallet. read more

I met Eileen around 8 years ago and have been coming to her since. I trust no one else with these brows!

Wow i scored today, I went to Nufaces and had the most Amazing facial with a great eyebrow wax. Eileen the owner knows so much about skincare and her passion is beyond words or praise. If you want to experience a 5 star Facial, look no further. I left her with a beautiful glow and new products that I can't wait to use. read more

I had the most amazing facial today by Jolie. She truly cares for your skin as if it were her own. I've had facials in the past, but not one as detailed, leaving my pores singing!! Can't wait for the next one. read more

Jolie is a super rockstar! Her facials are absolutely amazing. I cannot find anyone who pays such close attention to your skin and customizes the right facial for you. I walked in in my 40's and left looking 20 !!!! She has proven herself over and over again and is grounded in the science. Thumbs up and super high five to you Jolie!!! read more

Love this place. Excellent customer service, great prices and wonderful services. I have had facials with Eileen on and off for years, she never pushes the expensive treatments like other places do, she just caters to what your skin actually needs. She's one of those people that you know is just a good person, with a big heart, completely present for that time with you. Jolie is also pretty darn amazing as well, my daughter was terrified of getting a facial, now she wants one every week from Jolie. Another one of those good people, big heart :) I can't say a negative thing about these gals, they are a gem of downtown Encinitas! read more

Jolie has been waxing my eyebrows for practically the last 7 years...and I wouldn't let anyone else touch my eyebrows. She never lets me walk out of the room with any stray hairs. Her perfectionism is clearly shown in her work, and I would follow Jolie anywhere. I recently got my first facial with her...and I'm not sure why I waited so long. Her knowledge of skin clearly shows in how she takes care of you, and the products she uses. Not only does my skin feel remarkable, it was such a relaxing and meditative experience, that I will NOT be waiting 7 years to get my next facial. Jolie is extremely professional, and also a remarkable person, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my eyebrows...and now skin...besides her! read more

I am a skin specialist at Nufaces Day Spa. After having a bad fall last December I was seeking full body help. I began having massages with KC our Massage Therapist. Her hands on work is not only loving and caring, she turns into your energy, focusing on what works for you. Since seeing her I have had Epsom salt soaks and packs. She cupped my arms and feet, I felt a huge relief! The stagnant lymph in my arms was flowing again and the circulation much improved!!! How often do you get a massage by someone who is educated in oriental medicine and a personal trainer? Lastly she will be attending school for her doctorate in physical therapy. If you make an appointment with her you will leave feeling like a changed person. I know I'm in Heaven! read more

Jolie Budau is the best kept skin secret in Encinitas but I have to share my experience with you. She not only has maintained my skin but actually, over time, has improved the texture of my skin, including aging and wrinkles. When friends and coworkers ask me how old I am they always look shocked when I tell them. I simply say, "I owe it all to my wonderful esthetician of 7 years". It is very clear why she was a part of winning "Best Facial" 2-1/2 years in a row. I remain loyal to her only because of her gifted, healing touch and immense skin knowledge. Thank you, Jolie! read more

Jolie is the BEST! She has been my Esthetician for years. She puts her heart and soul into each facial. Her experience and education really shines through and she always knows exactly what to do with my skin. After I leave I feel like my skin glows for days. Waxing is almost painless...hey it's waxing and it hurts haha! If you haven't had a facial by Jolie, please do yourself a favor and make an appointment! read more

I received a full body massage from Graciela and was amazed how most of my pain dissapeared for about 2 weeks. I drive a lot and have chronic pain from my ankle to my lower back and she worked on that area and was blown away how much better I felt. Highly recommend Graciela!!! read more

I absouletly love Eileen and her staff. They are very accomodating and extremely knowledgeable about their products, which are the best around. I have Eileen perm and dye my lashes as well. I wouldn't trust anyone else to get those chemicals close to my eyes! I am suprised about the review above because Eileen is the most giving person I know and would want her clients to be happy. I personally like it being a smaller more personable spa and the personal attention I receive. read more

I had the best experience this past Friday with KC, she is a massage therapist at Nufaces Day Spa. When I arrived I was in so much pain from some stress knots in my neck and shoulder I was almost in tears. KC took 3/4 of my pain away and sent me home with some great advise on what to do for the next couple of days. She is simply amazing, very knowledgeable. She never hurt me, but applied her gifted fingers to my neck and back in just the most soothing way with the right amount of pressure. KC is pure platinum and diamonds. Go see her for a heavenly experience read more

I had a facial done by Kerri, the treatment room is inviting and relaxing with music that calms all your senses. Kerri has a golden touch' my skin looks and feels amazing! The whole experience was truly delightful. A little secret not to be left out, during the mask she put's steamed towels on your feet then gives a mini foot massage. Really it was quite divine' thank you Kerri, I will be back! read more

Jolie transformed my skin! She also educated me on the best, most affordable, and simple ways to take care my skin. I get compliments on how "I glow" and I personally feel a lot better about myself, knowing that my acne is gone and my skin is soft. Putting on make-up is a new experience with my new skin. All is well and I will be returning to her on a regular basis!!!! read more

Jolie is amazing! Great facials, helpful beauty tips and very reasonable prices! You must go and experience it.

Got a shellac manicure here before my big work conference, nails turned out great! Rene'e did my nails and I will definitely return for future occasions. Plus I appreciate that it's a smaller, intimate setting so their aren't rows and rows of people jammed around me while I'm trying to relax. read more
