I can't say enough good things about Perceptions Spa in Fair Oaks and my experience with Emsella treatments. From the moment you walk in, the spa is clean, calm, and welcoming--exactly the kind of environment you want when focusing on your health and wellness. The staff is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. They took the time to explain the Emsella process thoroughly, answered all of my questions, and made me feel completely comfortable every step of the way. There's zero pressure--just honest guidance and support. The treatments themselves have been easy, non-invasive, and truly effective. I've already noticed meaningful improvements, and I'm so grateful to have found a place that combines advanced technology with such a personal, compassionate touch. If you're considering Emsella or any wellness treatments, Perceptions Spa is absolutely the place to go. I highly recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to return for future services. A true 5-star experience all around! read more

I had lip filler done by Nurse Jennifer in March 2025 and unfortunately had a very poor experience. This was my first time ever getting lip filler, so I relied heavily on the provider's expertise and recommendations. I was encouraged to do a dental block for numbing, which left me numb much longer than expected. The bruising afterward was extensive, and I experienced pain and tenderness for weeks. I could feel not only the individual injection sites but also what felt like the path of the needle throughout my lips. As the filler settled, my lips became lumpy, uneven, and unnatural looking. They also felt firm and irregular to the touch. At my follow-up appointment, Jennifer told me the filler needed to be massaged. The massage was incredibly painful--so painful that my eyes were watering during the appointment. She also acknowledged that my lips were crooked, stating they "just needed a little more on the top of one side," but no complimentary correction was offered despite the poor outcome and the amount I had already spent. Considering the results, I'm now grateful that no additional filler was added. Four months later, I sought treatment from another injector because I was unhappy with the results. The difference was night and day. She was able to improve the appearance of my lips using only topical numbing cream, and I experienced little to no bruising afterward. She also explained that my lips appeared overfilled, which likely contributed to the lumpiness and uneven appearance. Even now, I can still see and feel filler remaining in the back of my lips. When I pull my lip down, there is a noticeable bulge that resembles a fat lip. The filler appears to have been placed farther back than necessary,. Looking back, I wish I had done more research before booking. My only additional complaint is that pricing was never clearly discussed beforehand. Because my lips were naturally very small, I agreed to two syringes during the appointment and was surprised by the final bill. As a first-time filler client, I would have appreciated more transparency regarding total costs before treatment began. I was also never given a receipt. I later called to request one and was told it would be emailed to me, but I never received it. Overall, this was an expensive and disappointing experience. I obviously will not return and also would not recommend, Picture is before lip filler, right after my initial appointment and the healed results. read more

I am in my 40s and decided I wanted to get my first peel. I chose the vi peel and set off doing my research. After contacting multiple establishments the best price for a vi peel package was given to me here, by the owner, Eric. He talked to me at length about my skin concerns and recommended vivace package as well. I priced that out online and the deal I was offered was more than competitive. I booked the vivace first. It might have been naomi? Because thats who i was told i booked with, took photos and numbed me, then Skylar came in and explained the procedure, what to expect, how to use products, etc. She was very knowledgeable. Skylar knew her stuff and explained every step of the way and even the history of products and how they work. The vivace didn't hurt at all. This place isn't close to me, about 45 min drive but totally worth the drive for the service and reasonable pricing. Also, do you research on quality as well, not just pricing. My understanding is Eric used to be in medical sales and stays on top of what's new in the market and only gets the best of the best. No outdated machines/technology here. I will update in a few months regarding the peels and rf microneedling. read more

I have been coming here for almost a year now getting Laser hair removal treatments. I had called the front desk and told the girl on the phone what I wanted to get done and she quoted me an excellent deal. Personally I hated spending $50 a month on Brazilian waxing. For just a little more I'm getting more more for my money. For example, now my underarms are always smooth and I have to shave maybe twice a month.... And I still have two more treatments to do. I'm sure touch-up treatments will be done but I'm really impressed. The staff is so warm and welcoming Everytime I come in. Since they were allowed to reopen for medical services like laser, they check everyone's temperature and have the same great sanitization in place. Now I am addicted and want to get laser everywhere. They have a Groupon and if you want to try the underarms 6 sessions was $199. When I first talked to the staff they priced matched that for me without having to buy the Groupon. Support them! read more

She does beautiful work!!!! read more

Getting summer ready! read more

I'm a 30 yr old mom. After 2 pregnancy I found abdominal muscle separate and I was unhappy with how my stomach looked. Then I heard about Emsculpt treatments and decide to try it. I had a consult where all my questions were professionally answered and scheduled my series of 4 Emsculpt treatments. Special thanks for Amy Crawford for her help , she is amazing , really , she did everything she could for me to be happy with this deal. The procedure itself is only 30 mins long and not painful at all. After I had 2 of the 4 treatments diastasis just disappeared! . I bought 4 sessions for abdominal muscles , biceps and calves. I can't wait to see final result after 8 weeks , but right now I say , that I'm happy having this experience and it totally worth the price read more

I would love to leave a 5 star review for Kimberly as she is phenomenal and the only person I trust for the last 3 years, but unfortunately management ruined this for me and I won't recommend Perceptions due to it. COVID happened and I get it threw a wrench in everyone's lives but don't tell customers you're going to make them a priority if you aren't. And then don't force them off the phone. Elizabeth has to be one of the rudest managers I have ever dealt with from the false pretenses of making you a priority and saying she understands your frustration but then just blames COVID and the simple fact that they "couldn't reach out to you." Kimberly, you know I adore you and I'd recommend you in a heartbeat but I'm afraid knowing you customers are in the hands of this management. read more

I have been very impressed with both Perceptions locations. Their helpful, super friendly well informed, professional staff are the gold standard. I've been using their laser hair removal & Botox services for over 10 years and most recently the EndyMed radio frequency treatments to tighten skin on my jaw and neck- all with great results. Thanks Perceptions! read more

As always, I was treated fantastic from the moment I called to make my appointment, right through checkout. When I say everyone there is the best, I'm serious. Jennifer is so professional, and made sure I was comfortable during the whole process. Every time I walk through the door, the girls at the front desk make me feel like I'm family. It's this kind of treatment that keeps me coming back! Thanks again team. read more

When it comes to Botox and fillers you want to go to someone who knows what they are doing and really listens to what you want. Elle May did exactly that she made me feel completely comfortable right off. She asked questions to make sure she understood exactly what I wanted. She explained everything step by step. We did Botox around my eyes they turned out perfect and fillers in my lips! I'm so excited and happy with my look. She made me feel beautiful and like the best version of myself. I have had fillers and Botox before and let me tell you when it comes to placement this Elle May is on her A game she knows exactly what to do and where to place to give you the look you want! The girls at the front desk were super helpful and friendly. I will only be going to Elle May she's the best!! JUST GOT A FILL UP ON MY read more

I found Perceptions Aesthetic Spa on Groupon. They were offering a deal on laser hair removal. I gave them a call with questions on the service and ended up purchasing directly through the salon. They were very nice, patient and answered all my questions. With the overwhelming response through Groupon, I wasn't able to get in for about 5 weeks but since then I've been able to rebook every 2 months as the appointments are spaced 8 weeks apart. I have finished 4 of 6 visits and really pleased so far. I've stayed with Summer for my laser tech. She's so sweet, gentle and funny. I enjoy the quick appointments and can't wait to see the final results after 2 more visits. The only con... is they are so far! No fault of theirs but it takes 45 minute each way for a 10 minute appointment. If they were closer, I would certainly come back for other services. read more

I get lip fillers with Jennifer. She is very nice, caring and easy to speak with. I've gotten lip fillers at other spas before and you could feel the fillers going through your lips and as if it was also going through your teeth (ouch), but here, you don't feel anything as they provide lidocaine injections in your mouth. I asked if I needed Botox on my forehead and Jeniffer was honest and told me I really didn't need it right now as I would probably only need 4 units. Spa Is very nice and clean. All the staff I've interacted with have been so friendly. Will definitely be back :) read more

Skylar is the sweetest. She always makes me feel special and welcomed. She's super informative and knowledgeable with the treatments.

I like to say that I have been a client of perceptions for about 5 years. I have seen many of the staff come and go , when I walk in , they know me by name . They have always been wonderful friendly and professional. I happen to be sitting in the lobby when a client came in and was clearly late and agitated. There was an exchange that I am not very familiar between her and the front desk Vita. Vita is very soft spoken very polite and always has a smile on her face. I have dealt with her few times. All I know is the customer in question happen to be loud and very aggressive and very belligerent . She made threats and hand gestures. She escalated the situation and finally the manager had in intervene. The customer started to write a review and read it out loud to hear for everyone in the lobby. I got called by the nurse for my service . This prompted me to write this review. What you read sometimes is not what the truth. I was a witness . All I want to say is weather it's vita or Emily or anyone at the front desk , I can tell you that my experience has been nothing but amazing . I just though I'd give my 2 cents and maybe shed some truth . read more

Just recently finished my 6th & last session for my laser hair removal. I purchased the "unlimited" 1 year package thru Groupon. I started my first session at the end of Sept and did my last one in July. It's technically not unlimited for a year because you only get 6 sessions and if it were, I would've been able to get 1 more session since it hasn't been a year yet. Each session has to be booked at least 8 weeks apart which is what I did. The treatment were for my underarms. All of hair is not completely gone but I have seen a significant difference in growth and there is definitely less hair. I would probably need about 2 more sessions for it to be fully gone. All of the staff are super nice. The session does not take long at all. I'm usually in & out within 10 mins. Amy & Summer are both great! Super friendly and I love how they converse with you while they do the treatment which takes your mind off the slight pain. I would definitely recommend coming here! read more

Great service, professional and experienced staff. Would highly recommend! Lots of products & services available at great prices
