I had done electrolysis when I was in college and had no hair. After I had two kids I noticed hair started to grow back. I also have pigmentation after pregnancy. I decided to go to Sahar. I know many people who have gone to Sahar and said how amazing and fast she was and how effective the electrolysis was. She has been doing her job for a very long time and is very good at it. After telling her my concerns she suggests a few products that have made such a huge difference in my skin. I highly recommend Sahar. read more

Sahar's Beauty Touch - Here is my skin after. The pigmentation has lightened a lot within a month. - Skin Care Near Me - La Mesa, California

See all

I have been getting electrolysis from Sahar for around 5 months now. Before going to her, I was not knowledgable of the extensive care process and the procedure itself. She explained everything to expect and I've not encountered one surprise since. She has almost 30 years of experience as an esthetician and she really is an expert in her field. She deeply cares about her patients and has their best interest in mind. I have not had to shave since July and it is now October. I love the atmosphere of her space because it truly is a safe space when I lie down to have a service from Sahar. She really can do it all! Thank you Sahar. She's truly changed my life! I get compliments on my skin all the time and I can't help but thank Sahar's Beauty Touch because she really has the Mida's Touch! read more

Sahar does a great job with facial and eye brows. I get my face wax and I do t have to shave for a week after!! But if I need a touch up she helps me out. Very clean place I'm very happy with the service. Thank you so much read more

She does a great job making you feel comfortable while going through the procedure. She starts by explaining everything she does and what is going to happen to make sure that she is transparent as humanly possible. It was overall a very painful experience that she made much more enjoyable and bearable. I plan to come back in the future to continue my hair removal journey and I highly recommend her service. read more

Sahar will make you GLOW better than JLo! I came here for a facial extraction and she pulled years of junk out of my face and repaired broken capillaries. On top of this, she gave my skin all of the topical treatments it desperately needed. Needless to say, I am hooked and ready for my next appointment. Thank you Sahar!! read more

Sahar is sweet, caring and most importantly EFFECTIVE! Just about any beauty need you have, this girl has you covered. If you want the best facial you'll ever get, call her. Something on your face bothering you? This is your girl. She is truly the best of the best. Don't waste your time with anyone else and go straight to her. I guarantee you won't regret it. read more

Sahar is awesome. She is the sweetest and can always squeeze you in, even if you need a last-minute appointment. Sahar is personable and talks you through everything she is doing. She does everything from sugaring to threading to electrolysis and more. I'd definitely recommend her if you want smooth skin. She's a pro and is very reasonably priced. read more

Best experience ever! Sahar is very professional and polite. On my first appointment for electrolysis, she basically took an idea of what I need and advised me to use the numbing cream which is very helpful in every session. She explained everything very well and guided me through the process. She is very patient and gentle with my skin. My face feels so different already and I am confident with the way my face looks now because of Sahar. I am very thankful for her hard work. read more

Sahar has been my go to for over 10 years and I'm only 26!!!! Yes, that's right, 10 YEARS!!! My mom started bringing me here in high school and Sahar has grown to be one of my favorite people. Her personality is contagious and she is hilarious. I definitely recommend her for electrolysis. I absolutely love her and she has turned into family over the years. When I first started seeing Sahar for electrolysis, I thought that her methods were fairly rough. I would leave with my skin swollen in the area that she worked on and it would take about a week to fully heal after scabbing. I know this sounds ridiculous, but it really is the most efficient way to be rid of all the hair you don't want! At first I didn't believe her until I saw results 10x faster than all of my friends. I started going to her when she simply rented a tiny room out of a salon. She now has her own suite in La Mesa. She offers all your beauty needs from microdermabrasion, facials, waxing, electrolysis (SHE IS THE BEST), tattooing, etc. If you're looking for a new place to go, definitely try her out! read more

Sahar truly is a genius when it comes to skin care. A friend of mine had recommended her. I drive two hours and hands down I'll be making the trip here every month!! She knows skincare 100%! She even did electrolysis on my tiny chin hair! Extracted all the bad junk in my skin and did a peal! My face is glowing!!! She identified a few things and made recommendations. I would suggest her place so well worthy it! Thank you Sahar!! read more

The best, cleanest, precise, sweet, caring, and amazing esthetician ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SAHAR IS TRULY THE BEST. The results are there so there is really nothing to complain about. I have been going to Sahar since I was 15 and I'm currently 21. I have finished my eyebrows and upper lip by her and I have not regretted one thing. All I do to my eyebrows on a daily basis is put eyebrow gel on them. I cannot imagine how much I would dread filling them in everyday. I have started other parts of my face with her and I can notice a difference in the hair with each appointment. The salon is clean, always at a perfect temperature, and smells divine. She always makes you feel comfortable and puts the right amount of heat and pressure. Obviously electrolysis is not the most pleasant feeling ever, but Sahar always says "Beauty is pain," and she is correct about that. I LOVE HER & make sure you look no further. read more

BLESSINGS Today , receiving treatments for facial hair removal. I'm transgender and very happy to find an LGBTQ friendly specialist.

I have had unwanted hair and acne since I was a young girl. I have tried MULTIPLE aestheticians in the past and none of them have compared to Sahar. I probably started going to Sahar more than 7 years ago because I was referred by a friend that said she uses sugar wax. With the multiple other aestheticians, the wax they used burned me, made me break out, and left me scarred and discolored. Sahar's sugar wax is gentle and never caused the same kind of irritation that other waxes have caused my skin. I had tried laser in the past with a different aesthetician who promised me it would work and it did absolutely nothing for me so I finally decided to begin electrolysis with Sahar and am so glad I did. Not only does she do a thorough and fast job but it is the ONLY thing that has ever worked in getting rid of my unwanted hair. I have had multiple treatments with Sahar including facials, microdermabrasion, waxing, threading, and electrolysis. I have also bought product from her. I have always been extremely pleased with the results of all of Sahar's treatments as well as the products she sells. She has helped my acne and skin discoloration tremendously. Sahar believes in helping people look and feel beautiful. She gets great satisfaction out of her customers leaving happy and feeling great about themselves. She has always said that if I am ever unhappy, to come back and she will make it right. I have never been unhappy but I always feel secure in knowing that Sahar is offering the most exceptional service and if for any reason I am ever unhappy, I feel confident knowing Sahar cares and is willing to make me happy. So far, I have NEVER been unhappy! She has always provided phenomenal service. I have recommended Sahar to multiple friends and family and they have also been very happy with her services. I will continue to recommend Sahar to other friends and family if they are ever in need of feeling beautiful. read more

I have pesky and irritating hairs in my groin area. As a man, I had a difficult time finding an electrologist who would work on that area. Sahar is so genuine, compassionate and knowledgeable that I was quickly at ease with her working on this area for me. I went in to have those hairs removed and she located bumps on my face that my dermatologist said was a result of rosacea. He had quoted me $500 per V-Beam laser treatment and I needed approximately 4 treatments to handle them. Sahar took care of them within 30 minutes and I'm absolutely amazed with the results! The bumps were gone immediately and I've canceled the $2000 set of V-Beam laser treatments. Additionally, her willingness to work on a man's "private areas" and her natural ability to put me at ease with her doing so, is am amazing tribute to the wonderful person she is! read more

Sahar is unlike any esthetician you've ever been to. She will remove every unwanted hair, remove all those disgusting blemishes and give you glowing, luminous skin that people will comment on. She's busy for a reason! read more

I am not usually one to write reviews but I happened to come across Sahar on Yelp and then read some reviews and I was so appalled by what Sarah A. below had to say that I couldn't help but need to respond. I have been going to Sahar for electrolysis for 2 years now and Love, Love, Love her! She has helped my acne disappear and has also helped me get rid of unwanted hair. First of all, I don't believe much of what she is saying and I think all the other 5 Star Reviews speak for themselves. 2. Sahar NEVER takes other customers before the ones who have appointments. If your on time then you get your whole treatment, if your late then you sacrifice what you missed and that's it. I am always on time or 5 minutes early and there is NEVER anyone else waiting with me in the waiting area and as soon as she's done with the person before me, we immediately start on my session. AND she doesn't look at the clock and time it exactly as the appointment was set, she uses a timer so she can make sure you get your full 15 or 30 minutes-whichever you request. 3. On my first visit, Sahar made a point to explain everything to me. She did it as she worked but she did explain everything and I understood all of the instructions. 4. Yes, electrolysis is painful. If you didn't know this before coming to your first appointment, then you didn't take the steps necessary to inform yourself before you arrived. It's the nature of the beast and some spots are more painful than others, but it's no more painful that other things I've experienced and it's well worth it if you really care about your skin and hair as much as I do. Just take some deep breaths and talk while she works, it helps distract the mind. 5. If you ended up with scarring, it's because you didn't take proper care of your skin afterwards. You should be cleansing your skin at least twice daily with toner of some sort or whatever you bought from Sahar (I use Tea Tree Oil) AND then also moisturizing afterwards with a very good moisturizer AND if you are in the sun you should be applying sunscreen. Exposure to sun while the skin is healing can cause scarring. Most people know this. 6. Yes, Sahar uses a voice answering machine in her office and yes sometimes you hear it IF people call while your there. She does this so that she can answer if she needs to-for instance if someone is late or is lost and needs directions. Otherwise, she just let the person leave a message and calls them back later. I know, cause when I leave messages she doesn't call me back till the evening after she's done with all her appointments. AND furthermore, it is very rare that someone calls while I am having my treatment. This has happened only 2 times or so over 2 years. 7. If you purchased $270 of product from her it's because you wanted to. She does not pressure ANYONE into buying product and never says you HAVE to use it. I know cause I have bought product before but then ended up sharing with her that I use Tea Tree Oil anyways at home and she said, "Oh, then your good, just use that!" Also, I find it hard to believe that you bought $270 worth or product when most of the stuff she sells is ply $35-$50. You must have purchased everything she sells. 8. Sahar is NOT BAISED...yes a large majority of her customers are from her culture...Iraq ladies have a lot of hair and they hate it and wouldn't you prefer to go to someone from your culture for some things?! But also, a good majority are white or hispanic and I know cause I have seen them come and go. 9. And lastly, if you feel the need to write a review, how about letting the person who actually had the treatment tell the story. I'm sure there's a possibility that her mom's perspective was much different. It is really a shame that from 1 visit someone had such a harsh review and it wasn't even written by the person that got the treatment. But like I said before, let all the other reviews speak for themselves and give her a chance. I promise, you will Love her just as much as I do!! read more

Sahar's simply the best! She is your one stop beauty shop, she administers electrolysis, wax, facials, peels, facial tattoos (eyebrows, lip liner) , you name it! What I love most about Sahar is how sterile and clean her work area and she is! She is also extremely quick and efficient at her job which is a plus when you are in need of painful beauty services. Not to mention how sweet and caring she is for her customers! Check her out! read more

Sahar is AMAZING! I have spoken to numerous people that have seen her for years on end, and all of them would agree that her work is flawless and she is one of the most trustworthy estheticians out there. She is very sterile and works very quickly to ensure that you don't leave with anything unfinished. Not to mention she is hands down the sweetest person I know and always does her best to make sure you are comfortable. I have never left her salon disappointed with anything-- her, her work, or the finished product. She does her best to advise you to take care of your skin and protect it consistently, so that the long term product is just as good as the short term. I would recommend Sahar to anyone and everyone. read more

Did an extraction + a peel and continuing with regular electrolysis. Sahar is better than the best at what she does in clearing your face of unwanted hair, acne and perfecting your skin. Very thankful I found her read more

I love going to Sahar, her work is clean & fast. She knows what's best for your skin, she recommended that I should use the solar tinted concealer SPF 60, sold by her, she'll actually numb the skin when necessary & charges the same as other ladies who don't work as fast, & did I mention she's not pushy!!! I've gone to another woman who did not even take her time in what I wanted, she would jump to other areas I didn't even care to do, so glad I found Sahar! She gets booked & I know exactly why! read more

What a great place!! Sahar is one of the greatest person I've met! Ive been going here to almost 2 years now. She really changed the way I look. My face was really bad in the past years but after I did the treatments, I was a whole different person and I'm really liking it. She's the most trustworthy person. Highly recommend it. read more

Love Sahar. Have been seeing her for 5 years. Her prices are resonable and her care is exceptional.

I love going to Sahar, she is an amazing lady, her hands work wonders. She have been able to clear my face from all the acne/ blemish and pigment .... Not once that I've asked her a question regarding me skin, that she didn't have an answer for. Some people might find her pricey, but she is totally worth it! read more

thank you so much for helping me with my very very bad skin problems. i had terrible skin with acne but you helped me soooooooooooo much now i have an amazing skin. Sahar is a very honest person that want make me very confidant of here treating my skin. i live in Chicago but i fly to San Diego to have her treat my skin. i have tried so many places and very expansive cuz they said its very good it will help you but i wasted my money and time until i found her. i had a severe skin problems and after spending so much money i thought i will never be able to find someone to help me with my skin BUT i found Sahar (so blessed). Now my skin is amazing but still i will make a trip to San Diego just to go to Sahar. read more

Sahar's facial peel is like a new lease on feeling good about my skin. Her waxing is, by far, the cleanest and smoothest around. She is simply the best at what she does. Further, she actually cares about people. I always leave her place feeling better than when I arrived and my first appointment with Sahar was fourteen years ago! Thank you, Sahar. read more

I am so thankful to have found Sahar for my electrolysis. After years of struggling with laser hair removal which never worked for me I finally found my permanent solution for hair removal. Sahar takes her time and has transformed my skin completely. She offers the best skin care products like PCA skincare that has cleared my face from stubborn acne. Sahar also offers services like chemical peels and microdermabrasions and everytime I leave her office I get compliments on my glowing skin. I have been going to Sahar for electrolysis and my skin care needs for 2+ years now and she is always professional and considerate of her time and the time of her clients. Sahar is always organized with her appointments and I have never had to wait longer than 5 minutes for her to start my appointment. Most importantly I love going to Sahar because her office and equipment is always clean and spotless and she only uses the best products on clients. My favorite skin care product that she offers is the solar protection spf 60 which is a tinted sun screen that I use as my foundation to protect my skin from harmful Sunrays. Electrolysis is painful in certain sensitive areas but Sahar makes it bearable and works in a way to insure that her clients are always comfortable. Like they say, it's painful to look beautiful but electrolysis is so worth the pain because it's permanent! If anyone is looking to be hair free and have the perfect complexion you must go see Sahar because electrolysis is the only permanent hair removal procedure. Sahar is my skincare life saver and I recommend her to all my family and friends needing hair removal services. You will never be disappointed after leaving her office! read more

I have been going to this beautiful lady's salon for so many years. She is a beautiful woman, inside and out, giving you her full attention to anything you want done. I go every 4 weeks for various treatments and she has been able to rid me of my chin hair, give me beautiful eyebrows, you name it, she's THE BEST at what she does and is so dedicated to her clientele. She makes sure you are comfortable before she starts a treatment, her salon is ultra clean and well decorated. There is nothing about this lady and her work that does not portray the word EXCELLENT.
