My skin was looking real shit and I needed to do something about it since it wasn't calming down. So, I booked an appointment with Kristen. It was pricey, so it took me a while to hit the button and reserve an appointment. At $90, the facial included skin analysis, cleaning, duo exfoliation, a peel/mask, extraction, massage, another mask, and a short hand/foot massage. I don't know if I'm just used to Asian facials where they literally extract every little bit of gunk and disgusting in your face, but I wish Kristen would've spent more time extracting..The massaging was a plus since most places I've been to only massage your shoulders for less than 5 minutes. After the facial, my skin was literally "baby butt" soft, and still is. Kristin was really nice and very thorough with telling me my skin type, what problems needed to be issued, and how to take care of my skin. 3.5/5 I think the only reason that's keeping me from giving it a 4 is that I still have a lot of the spots that I walked into Savvi with. I still have bumpy little gross things along my chin and cheek. The plus side? My skin is super soft and looks more radiant, but the reason for my visit was to get rid of my spots. :( I might come back if my skin is in desperate need of a facial, but I'm broke now so I might not be back for a while... read more

I must say, Juli is truly the best I have encountered in my five or so years of searching for "the one." I have only seen her for waxes, but have every intention of trying her other services too. They use a cold wax here, which means the pain isn't so bad, especially compared to the other wax using cloth strips to tear it off your skin. Also, she isn't one of "those girls" who has to tweeze to touch-up any missed hair. If you come in for a wax, you get a wax... not a wax-and-oh-crap-I-missed-that-spot-so-let's-tweeze-it-OUCH... Juli is extremely professional yet has that perfectly balanced with a friendly disposition. Prices are fair, and they offer so much! She and this studio have been truly marvelous finds for me. Highly recommended! read more

I came here for a facial with Julie and it was alright. The products were nice and it was relaxing, she also gave me a great facial massage at the end. The not so great part was that for an $80 facial she seemed rushed and I was out of there within 30 minutes. She also stated several times that it did not include an extraction (ok, didn't ask for one). I probably would have come back if I hadn't found another place in town that I absolutely fell in love with. read more

So I made an appointment with Juli for my first ever Brazillian and been wanting to do it for a while but was to chicken. Before my appointment I got an email about their happy hour, brow and lip waxing for $20! I went in and the girl who did my waxing was really nice and really informative. She gave me all sorts of tips about eyebrows and make up. And the wax that was used was painless. I went back a few days later for my Brazillian, my first one. Juli was so great, I did not feel awkward at all. There were a few strips that hurt more than others but overall it was so much less painful then I had imagined. I love the results and am so happy that I finally did it and that I found Juli! Savvi studio is my new place for all my waxing, I love it. And can't wait to try their different services as well. read more

I've had Brazilian waxing before, but this last time I was nervous. Not of the pain - I'm a total badass. But because I was 38 weeks pregnant and apprehensive about being naked and spread eagle on the table when I looked like a water buffalo. That ate a hippopotamus for breakfast. And lunch. Juli was totally cool and relaxed and made me feel very comfortable. When I was there I forgot about my bovine appearance. The salon was clean, quiet and professional. I appreciated the competitive pricing and easy MindBody online booking system. Will definitely be going back!! read more

Stopped by here looking for 2 specific Jane Iredale makeup products. They carry the line, but seemed to be out of many items. The receptionist or stylist who was working at the register ignored my friend and I for a few minutes, then came over and promised to check if they had it in stock... Then never came back. Maybe the services are good here, but product sales were a big disappointment and I left without purchasing. I would not visit again based on this experience. read more

Julie is skillful, smart, kind, fun... What more could you want an an esthetician! My brows are unruly and she has never failed to tame them. I always feel refreshed and beautiful after a trip to Savvi! Highly recommend her read more

I recently received a facial by Kristen. She is simply amazing! I felt very comfortable through out the entire process from start to finish. My skin feels fantastic & I can already tell a difference in the clarity and softness. Kristen also gave me great advice for proper skin care and introduced me to some new skin care products. I just simply cannot say enough great things about her. This is not my first visit with Kristen. I have also had the wonderful experience of having Nova Lashes done by her. She made the lashes look so natural and close to the lash line as possible that people at times actually believed that they were my natural lashes. Kristen is truly a master at what she does. I highly recommend booking an appointment with her at Savvi Skin Studio. Thanks Kristen! read more

Make sure you specify you want the same person on the next visit when you rebook otherwise you'll get someone else.

After reading the reviews of this spa on yelp, I decided to try Savvi Skin studio to get my eyebrows waxed. I was nervous to try a new place, but am so happy I went to Savvi. I must say, it is my new place to get my eyebrows waxed. She listened to what I wanted and shaped my brows beautifully. Many salons in the past have not been as attentive and have given me a brow shape that I wasn't fond of. When the shaping portion was done, she even touched up my make-up because I was going downtown after the appointment and did not want me to have to walk around with red skin. Overall, I highly recommend this spa for eyebrow waxing and I'm sure their other services are just as high quality. read more

I'm a broke college student so when I saw the yelp offer for a free eyebrow wax, I was super excited! After waiting about 15 minutes for the woman (owner maybe?) to be come out and talk to me, I asked about the offer and was told that it is only applicable with purchase of a facial. This would have been fine if it was clear in the offer. I was very disappointed. read more

Best wax job in town! I took me a while to find a regular waxing lady to shape my eyebrows the way that I wanted, and once I found Savvi I was hooked. Now I get facials and even by my skincare products there. Thanks to Savvi I'm extremely well groomed and my skin looks great! read more

I've never been waxed but my girlfriend gets the Brazilian wax and it's super sexy. She tells me that it hurts for a moment but juli gets it done super quick. I really apreciate this service. I'm just sayin. Keep up the good work. read more

I went to go get my eyebrows and lip waxed and it was a terrible experience. for my eyebrows she waxed over the same spot SIX times and she rewaxed over my lip 3 times. Had I not reminded her she wouldn't of waxed the top of my eyebrows or trimmed them. I asked her just to clean my eyebrows up and she completely butchered them. Safe to say I will NEVER go back. read more

Wonderful spa, peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Clean and quiet with great products, mineral makeup and knowledgeable staff. Easy to make appointments on-line or by phone. Reasonable prices and a variety of services offered. Monthly specials and seasonal treats. read more

Michelle did a great job on my wax... My eyebrows look fabulous! Well done Savvi. I'll definitely be back here! Staff are thorough and professional. Facilities are modern and smell terrific. read more

I went to Juli for a Brazilian and was very happy with the facility, the service, the treatment and the staff. Their office is beautiful, calming and most importantly, VERY CLEAN. Juli immediately made me feel comfortable (ladies, you know how uncomfortable it can be) and was very quick and expedient! She's obviously experienced in waxing and clearly knowledgeable about her craft. Their prices are reasonable and right in line with a good caliber spa- if you want a safe, sanitary and professional experience, waxing and spa treatments are NOT where you should pick the lowest bidder (like those nail salons where nothing is sanitized and the same tools and wax stick are used over and over on everyone - YUCK). I will gladly return to Juli and the folks at Savvi for any and all future spa treatments and urge you to do the same! Also, their online appointment service is SO convenient. This might seem kind of silly, but I also appreciate that their location is easy to get to and there's actually parking! read more

I saw Juli and we clearly had a miscommunication. I asked for chin waxing with facial and while I was charged for it afterward, I did not get the service. I feel like they just care about their business and not so much the customer. Won't go back. read more

I am typically, not one to write reviews, but I just had to get on here and rave about Kristen from Savvi Skin Studio. I have seen Kristen numerous times for make up, tanning, waxing and facials and the service she offers is absolutely FANTASTIC! I LOVE her and will never go to anyone else. I was extremely pleased with my results after each appointment with her. She makes you feel so comfortable right away! She is very warm, welcoming and upbeat! For Make-up: She is hands down the most talented artist that I have ever been to, always going above and beyond, and does an amazing job. She is a perfectionist with such great skills you walk away feeling absolutely gorgeous and red carpet worthy! For Tanning: She is so personable and she puts you at ease and makes you feel incredibly comfortable in what could be an otherwise awkward moment! I walked away with a natural glow. I looked like I had just returned from a Tahitian vacation! For Waxing: I had my first Brazilian done by her and was EXTREMELY scared. Kristen reassured me and talked to me about the procedure and answered all my questions which was very comforting. It was so quick and will be going back in 2 weeks to do it again! For Facials: Kristen has such a gentle touch; I was incredibly relaxed. My skin was so soft and smooth afterwards and looked radiant for days after. She is very knowledgeable about all the products and skin care she uses and educated me on what products were beneficial to my skin care needs. OVERALL: Kristen is an extremely talented esthetician and make-up artist. It is obvious she has a passion for skin care and make-up! I cannot say enough great things about her! read more

I am so happy I found this little gem! I am picky about eyebrow maintenance and the ladies here are great! The products they use are gentle on my sensitive skin. Appointments can be booked online which is very convenient. I am looking forward to trying their other spa services. I highly recommend Savvi Skin Studio! read more

I love Savvi Skin Studio. Julie is great and prices are fair. My favorite part is being able to book my own appointment online-so convenient! read more

I was a brazilian virgin before I came here, so I was a little nervous. Let me just say, it was such a painless experience. Kristen is amazingly good and I still don't have hair regrowth!! (It's been 4 weeks!) She's fast and professional and just makes you feel as comfortable as you can given the circumstances. I will definitely be back! read more

Claudia does a great facial! She was very attentive to my skin's needs, and had a relaxing presence. The prices are better than a lot of spas in town (at least for express facials); this was a selling point for me. read more

Been going to Juli for over a year and have only had great experiences. The studio is always clean, sanitary, and welcoming. Happy to recommend! read more

Juli is probably the best esthetician I've been to. My husband's company relocates us about once a year and usually it takes a while for me to find one that I like. She was the first one I went to and was so happy with the results that I couldn't imagine finding someone better. I would give her 10 stars if I could! read more

Excellent spray tan...easy appointments with MindBody...great pricing!

Having Emily as a massage therapist makes the world a better place! I like a deep tissue massage and Emily can move those toxins like no other! I really like the convenience and ambiance of their new location. read more

Great personalized attention! I've been going to see Juli at Savvi spa for my facials and waxing. I go monthly for my visits to Savvi spa. Juli gives me great recommendations for skin care. I am now using Epicuren products and my skin looks so good! She is fast with my waxing and tries to make it as pain free as possible. She is able to work around my schedule and quirks- I get personalized attention for what I need that day. I like the convenience of online and mobile app for scheduling appointments and track my account. Great selection of retail products such as Epicuren, Rhonda Allison, and others. read more

I've been going to Julie for many years but won't be going back. I saw her for a facial Oct. 31 (Halloween, fitting) for a facial. While she was massaging my face, it started stinging but I thought I should wait to see if it would abate. Then the area between my eyebrows started really hurting as Julie went over and over that area. I said something to her and she stopped immediately. However, when I left the salon, the skin was actually abraded in that area. By the next morning it was a scab the size of a nickel and there was no hiding it. I called Julie and she told me to come by and would give me something to help with healing. People would ask me what happened (it looked like a Bindi dot and I heard lots of jokes) and I told them it was the result of a facial. Then the question I would be asked was "who should I NOT go to?!" Why am I writing this 5 months later? I still have a scar there. It looks worse if I try to cover it with make up since it just draws attention. My doctor gave me some silicone sheeting that I put over the area at night but I'm not sure if it's helping. The thing that would have made me feel better about the incident would have been if Julie herself would have met me at the salon to see the damage rather than have an employee give me a sample size of something. A follow-up call like a medical or dental office gives after a procedure also would have gone a long ways in the PR department. I think Julie is very knowledgeable, well-trained and the salon is very nice. Her people skills are just not as good as they could be. read more

Went in for a wax with Juli last Thursday. I initially made an appointment weeks ago with another salon for earlier in the week but when I went in for my appointment I found they didn't have me anywhere in the books and were unable to get me in before I left on vacation this weekend. I frantically searched for another spa that offered Brazilians and found the great reviews written about Savvi and Juli here on Yelp. I made my appointment on Tuesday evening and had someone call on Wednesday to confirm. This morning I went in at 9 am and was out by 9:40- this was having a Brazilian wax done as well as my eyebrows shaped. I was impressed with the spa, how quick, efficient, and friendly Juli was, and how well the service was performed. My eyebrows were shaped fantastically- not too thin- and the Brazilian was not too painful. I will be returning to see Juli in the future. I'm so glad my first appointment didn't work out and I was able to find her! read more

Got a Brazilian here a week ago - Juli was awesome. She made feel very comfortable and did a great job. Love that they have parking. Nice comfortable waxing room too. Definitely getting a facial next time! Also love that they email your next appt to you and it goes right into my icalendar!! read more

I love Savvi and I love Juli. I have entrusted my skin and brows to Juli for many years and her new location on Monterey is beyond fabulous. It's hard to believe that SLO is bustling outside her door. I always feel so peaceful and pampered there. I'd actually like to live there. Try the Epicuran hot peel, your skin will positively glow afterward. Juli is professional and also very personable. She offers an extensive selection of face and body treatments. Treat yourself or someone you love to a Savvi experience. You won't be disappointed. read more

Juli is the best thing ever! I wish I could take her everywhere I go. No matter how far I move away, I always make sure to take trips to get waxed by Juli. I drive 2 1/2 hours 1 way to get a wax by Juli. That's how awesome she is. I love that she uses cold wax. So much better than the wax strips. She makes me feel so comfortable, talking the whole time. And any time there might be moments for 'compromising positions' she always has me feel at ease. And always has 'the lady' fan at the ready for me. Every chance I get, I recommend everyone that wants to get waxed, to go to Juli. Hands down the best esthetician ever! read more

I was visiting SLO and got a last minute appointment at Savvi. The eyebrow service was excellent. I would recommend this service for anyone looking for a natural treatment. read more

I came to Savvi to get a Deep Tissue Massage from Emily.... and she was absolutely amazing! She made me feel really comfortable throughout the entire experience. She used a good amount of pressure and I could literally feel the knots leaving my body as she was working. She didn't just focus on my shoulders and back but also spent time working on my legs, feet, and hips. When I left I felt so relaxed and refreshed. If you are coming in for a massage you have to try Emily! read more

I had scheduled a wax and never received a confirmation text or email or phone call. The day comes and I called to cancel because of an expected conference call at work. I got charged for the full service! Apparently, their confirmation emails include details on their cancellation policy, which I did not receive. The person at the front desk was very rude over the phone; I had to call her when I saw the charge on my credit card. read more

The employees are very cold, not making you feel welcome. They play their music too loud, and I've seen them brush-off a polite request by their building neighbors to turn their music down, with a rude and abrupt response. They will never have my business again, and I recommend not using this spa. Find another spa, there are many! read more

I recently made an appointment with Kristen for an oxygen facial. I can only say it is absolutely fabulous!!! I seriously felt like it took 10 years off my face! I have been going to Kristen for my brows and eye lash extentions which are two other services I would highly recommend. Kristen is an expert at what she does and will treat you with all the tlc you would love when going in to get pampered. Just love this girl and this spa! read more
