I am so so grateful I found Nicole! It was super easy to book an appointment online, she gave an email and text reminder (which is what I need) and her place is really easy to get to! I have been dealing with problematic dehydrated skin. Also, due to breakouts in the past I have a lot of unevenness from the scaring. Nicole Worked her magic and explained everything to me so I knew what was going on. I knew that my at home moisturizer wasn't cutting it so I took her recommendation and a few days later my skin is GLOWING. It's hydrated, and feels smooth and plump. I will most definitely be coming back every month and would recommend Savvy Skin Spa to anyone. She knows her stuff!! read more

Nicole and Amithy are the best. I've seen Nicole for a few years for facials. She's experienced and knows what your skin needs. Highly recommend! read more

I always look forward to my Savvy Skin Spa treatment. Nicole is exceptionally knowledgeable and her advice is always spot on. My face and skin always looks and feels wonderful after a visit. The Vitalite serum, Rose Otto, masks, etc. are very effective and have become part of my daily skin regimen. I highly recommend Nicole at Savvy Skin Spa. read more

I went to Nicole with Savvy Skin Spa for the first time 5 months ago. I am in my 30's with acne, redness and discoloration and had tried everything since I was 13 years old. I reached out to Nicole and she fit me in for a facial. She was kind, listened to my concerns, explained every single step and set me up with ideal products. My skin has NEVER been better. I've trusted Nicole and done everything she said. My skin flared up again and with some photos and emails Nicole helped me right back on track. I'm not kidding. It's been miraculous. Nicole keeps it real and really cares. As a fellow service based business owner, Nicole blows expectations out of the water. I see results each time I go and by the way, the best part is Nicole works with what your goals and lifestyle to keep it real about results you'll see. Go see her. Follow instructions. See results. I don't have enough positive things to say. read more

Nicole is amazing. I have been going to her for the last year since I moved from NYC to San Diego and my skin changed due to climate etc. She got me back on track and my skin is so much better and ready for my wedding in a few weeks. Nicole's facials are really something to look forward to. The facials are so calming and you know Nicole is tailoring your facial to you which is HUGE. I have never had a facialist do that before. She also makes all of her own products which I buy on the regular. Love love love. Do yourself and your skin a favor and go to Nicole! :) Claire read more

I always leave feeling fresh and pampered after getting a facial with Nicole! She does a custom facial for me depending on how my skin is that day with an added hydrofacial. She is so knowledgeable and really knows what she's doing, not to mention she's very kind! I can't say enough good things, definitely do your skin a favor and go see Nicole, she's the best! read more

I found Nicole on Facebook. Her facility is so nice and clean and has space enough to move around. I'm amazed she's able to be so professional and have such a sweet personality even though you can tell she's extremely busy. I intend on staying with Nicole when it comes to any skincare issue I have. And she's the only person I'll trust to refer all of my friends and family. I love the fact she's so active in various charities. She's definitely a rare find. read more

Nicole is very nice woman who has more patience. She likes to research new things to improve your skincare. Thank you! read more

Nicole helped me when doctors couldn't! She is knowledgeable, resourceful, and dedicated to do the best for every client. After a facial, my skin looks awesome and I am so relaxed I float out the door. I highly recommend Nicole for anyone who wants to look their best. read more

I know technically she is an Esthetician but I prefer to think of her as a magician, magically making my skin nice again. I used to leave from facials looking a bit beat up but hers are not like that at all. You leave looking amazing. You can stop looking, this is the one you want. Enjoy read more

So incredibly happy to find Nicole! It's tough to find someone who you can trust with your skin. But Nicole is so knowledgeable and professional and I can't wait to see her again. Not only have my facials given my skin an amazing immediate glow, but she has formulated the perfect skincare regimen for lasting results. I highly recommend seeing Nicole! read more

I had a 30 year high school reunion to go to and what a better time to have Nicole help renew my look. I was excited and nervous all in one. Nicole amazed me with her procedure and introduced me to her products. I highly recommend them! My confidence level soared! Nicole is not only amazing at what she does and is full of knowledge she's REAL and only has your best interest in mind to be a better you and to HAVE that "FEEL GOOD" feeling btw who knew tinting your eyebrows would WOW your look too read more

I've had 2 facials with Nicole, I've never had a facial like this ever! So amazing, I've only had 2 but skin looks totally different never looked better. I was looki g for more than just someone to clean my face etc.. wanted to find someone with the latest technology & she has lots to offer from ultrasound to nano needling & different lights she has the equipment to transform your face. She is the sweetest person too!! Can't wait to come in again this month! read more

I just received a free facial from another local spa, and i have to say, this made me appreciate Nicole of Savvy Skin Spa all the more! She is so gentle and attentive to each part of my skin every time. I have fairly sensitive skin and she has helped improve it so much! read more

Best facial! Nicole is Extremely professional and knowledgeable. As an adult, just now experiencing my worst acne. Nicole was able to calm me down and start me on a regiment towards better skin! Won't be using anyone else! read more

Nicole is great. She customizes treatment to your skin type. I go to her for brown spot reduction after the summer and it works better than other treatments I've had elsewhere. Her products are great and reasonably priced, too. She's not pushy and doesn't try to *sell* you on a bunch of stuff. I asked her what she had that would be good and she recommended one product which is my go-to every night and provided samples of others. Highly recommend. read more

I literally just left Savvy Skin Spa and feel amazing! Nicole was so warm and welcoming and not to mention her spa is adorable (and super clean)! She was very knowledgeable about all things skin and handled my concerns thoroughly. I already notice a difference in my tone and texture just from 1 session with her! She gave me some great recommendations for after care and other treatments for the future, I'm really looking forward to my next visit! read more

I look forward to this amazing treat every 8 weeks. Nicole is amazing. My skin is healthier and more radiant than ever. I've had facials in the past that are just a mask and cleaning out a few blemishes - this is so much more. Nicole uses medical grade equipment to produce really good results after even just one visit and the results only get better after multiple visits. I highly recommend her services. read more

Exceptional service and expertise!!! So happy to have found Savvy Skin!!! Highly recommended!!!!!

021 / 100 - 2017 YELP 100 CHALLENGE. Finally, someone I can trust to do my hydrafacials! Like clockwork, my cystic acne decided to make a visit with Aunt Flo and I was struggling on what to do about it. I was using Differin (a god send), but just like every millennial, I wanted results right away... so I decided to get a hydrafacial instead of the usual cortisone/kenalog shot! It had been a while since I had had a hydrafacial, so I wanted to try someone new. I found Savvy Skin Spa on Yelp, liked the location and pricing, and decided to schedule something ASAP! Nicole is a pretty busy person, so I wasn't surprised to see that she was all booked up for the weekend (and pretty much the entire month of May, too). Thankfully I found an appointment that would work for me, so I scheduled that immediately and all I had to do was wait for the day of my appointment! I do want to note that the location is kind of difficult to find (Google maps doesn't really point it out correctly lol), but Nicole was sweet and left me a voicemail with directions. Unfortunately I did NOT see or hear it because I was coming straight from work and was busy driving, but it was very nice of her to do that. :) Savvy Skin Spa is located in ANOTHER office (I think it was an acupuncture one), so when you're circling the plaza looking for Savvy Spa... keep an eye out for that instead lol. There is ample parking and it seems like the plaza itself isn't that busy, so that was nice! When you get off the freeway and turn into the plaza, Savvy Spa is located on THE LEFT SIDE, NEAR THE CENTER. Don't do what I did and start with the right - I ended up circling and wasting time bahahaha. Once I got in, it was smooth sailing from there. Nicole had me fill out a brief form that covered my current medications, regiment for skincare, etc. Once we got that out of the way, she asked a few more questions about what I was currently doing to better understand my skin and then we got started! Something I've noticed with other places I've gone to get hydrafacials is that they are not that gentle with my face. They tend to be very aggressive when trying to remove my cystic acne, which sometimes makes it worse and stay irritated for longer than it would have if they had been more gentle. Nicole was incredibly gentle with my face - it seriously felt like she was handling fine china! She steamed my face and started preparing my skin, all while chatting with me about my problem spots, etc etc. In retrospect I feel bad that I was yakkin' her ear off, but she was a great listener lmao. Once my skin was ready, she started the hydrafacial process. Again, she was incredibly gentle as she went around my face, slowly exfoliating, cleansing, and hydrating my skin. She paid special attention to my problem area (read: my nose) and it felt awesome. After she was done with that, she misted my face, and wrapped up the session with a mask (and beauty globe!), and serums. She was also very sweet and did some LED on my face to help my current situation with my cystic acne. She used blue LED to help kill bacteria, but I think the next time I come back, I will go for red LED, which helps with the redness in your skin. (I have some healing areas from an electrocautery session I did earlier this month and I want to reduce the redness/pinkness.) Of course, throughout the entire session Nicole was giving a scalp massage, which eventually developed into a neck and shoulder massage. I almost fell asleep. LMAO. By the end of it, I was on cloud nine and getting dressed/leaving was a total haze. After one session my skin was already glowing - pretty crazy! I asked Nicole to show me the canister of gross, dead skin and clogged pores and it was pretty satisfying to see all the impurities in my face get taken out. Nice! It's been about a day and I can still see its amazing results. The electrocautery areas are definitely lighter than they were yesterday. I can't wait to see what they'll look like after a few more sessions. ;) Overall this was an amazing experience and I really enjoyed my hydrafacial with Nicole. I will definitely be coming back ASAP. If you are looking for someone to try your first hydrafacial with then Nicole is THE person to go to. Definite recommend! read more

Seriously best facial ever- my skin feels great and looks great - no irritating products and she really takes the time to listen to what your regimen is and make recommendations, as well as tailor the facial to your skin type. I drive all the way down from LA for my facials- yes it's that worth it! Very relaxing setting too. read more

BEST FACIAL!!! Nicole cares about your skin. She treats your skin like it's her own. I look forward to my facial...not only do I look better, but I leave relaxed. read more

I have been seeing Amithy at Savvy Skin Spa for massage. I have been having all kinds of neck, body, hip stuff from sitting at my computer all day, I told her my issues, and she went to work! I have been seeing her for about six months and she has ironed out my neck, hips and my bad knee. I sent my husband as well, and now we have to fight over appointments. Amithy is a body psychic (I just made that up!) meaning she has a sense about what is all bound up, and she knows just what she needs to do to get rid of it. So happy to have found her. read more

Best massage of my life! The masseuse, Amithy, is amazing. She's the sweetest woman and takes time to make sure she is addressing all of your problem areas. My back has never felt this good. read more

I have struggled with uneven skin tone, acne scars and adult breakouts for years. I discovered Nicole at Savvy Skin about 8 weeks before my wedding. She was able to assess my skin and choose a plan of action to get my skin looking flawless. She is patient and walks you through the process, making you feel so comfortable. My makeup now goes on much smoother, I have a new skin regimen and the best part is I am much more comfortable going out in public without makeup on. I just love that Nicole really educated me not only on skin and things that will clog my pores, but about my specific type of skin. It's been almost 2 years and I can say I am totally committed to Nicole and what she has been able to accomplish with my face!! read more

Nicole is the nicest and her spa is super comfortable and relaxing. I love getting facials from her. My skin always feels and looks amazing after! read more

Nicole is amazing on how she customizes her treatment toward each of her patients. My daughters and I each have very different skin, and have all had very unique facials determined by our needs. read more

Great spa!! They are really knowledgable and helped me with all of my skincare needs!

Nicole is fantastic. She is kind, caring, personable and knows her business! I trust her implicitly to select what treatment I need. I have been going to her for several years and recommend her without hesitation. read more

Nicole helped me clear up my acne as a teenager between her facials and acne package. She also recently helped me clear up the eczema on my arms and legs by using her recommended products that are right for my sensitive skin. She is very helpful and understanding and meets YOUR needs. She puts her clients first and is highly recommended! read more

Fantastic fantastic fantastic. Turned my skin around and Nicole is an expert. Highly recommend!!!

I was struggling to find a good esthetician for almost 2 and half years after I moved to San dIego and it didn't help that i had acne all over my face. I tried different places, none of which helped, most of these places were so rough on my sensitive skin that going to these places and getting even a simple clean up facial made it worse. After having a rough experience, I finally **finally** after a lot of careful research on the internet met with Nicole. I was very skeptical initially, but she made me feel very comfortable, listened to me and understood where i was coming from. I'd say that she is the best esthetician in San diego. My acne has cleared up completely and my skin is so much better now. I have been seeing her regularly for more than 12 months now, although it just took one session from her which tremendously cleared my acne. I had a small thing that grew out of nowhere on my face under my right eye and it looked so ugly, and it is now totally gone!! like it was never even there! Phew, that was a total relief. All thanks to Nicole!! I took my mom as well to see her for a facial and she couldn't stop talking about her either. I'd highly recommend her. read more

I make a trip to see Nicole every time I am in town. My skin always feels rejuvenated and is visibly healthier. Also love the savvy skin home products so much that I get them shipped out to me in Colorado. Thank you Nicole. read more

Savvy Skin Spa is my secret getaway -- I always come away feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and relaxed, and my skin looks amazing. Nicole is an expert and uses the best skin products. I used to have occasional breakouts, but now, thanks to Nicole's care, my skin is soft, smooth, and clear. read more

I have been a client of Nicole's for several years, she has utterly transformed my skin! Recently I tried the "Nano Facial" and couldn't believe the results. I had a red pox scar from a shingles outbreak above my eyebrow, redness on my cheeks and chin and puffy under-eye circles. The first thing I noticed after the nano facial was my eyes, the puffiness was gone! I signed up for a series of four treatments. After the third treatment my pox scar was no longer red and had become smaller and less deep. By the fourth treatment, the redness on my chin and cheeks was gone. Best of all, the results last... no needles, no lasers, no surgery! Thank you Nicole! read more

Nicole's facials and treatments are super amazing! I have had difficult and sensitive skin, meaning still dealing with breakouts into my early 60's since my teenage years. I've been going to Nicole to control my acne and lessen facial lines since March 2017. She has made a HUGE difference! My skin has less to no acne, less acne scars, has brightened and tightened and pleased to see smoother and more hydrated skin altogether. Nicole is completely knowledgeable of the treatments and products I need to continue these results. She will customize your treatments as one treatment does not fit all!! She is a person of kindness and warmth, compassion and skin care knowledge. I can't say enough about Nicole as she has set me free with more confidence than I've ever had!! read more

Nicole is by far the best. She has brought life back into my skin. I look forward to seeing her every appointment. I purchase most of her products & love them too! I highly recommend Nicole & Savvy Skin Spa!!!! read more

Simply, I could not imagine going anywhere else for facials or massages. So I don't. Nicole takes skin care to a whole other level beyond treatments; she educates you on what is going on with your skin and how you can be proactive about keeping it looking good when you leave her office. She doesn't push product but you will cave because her products works. The dermatitis that took me to her in the first place, has never returned. (Noni!) She is invested in each client and radiates a peaceful energy, which allows you to relax in her care. Amithy is equally as wonderful when it comes to massages. Sadly, I have not been able to see her for a few months, but there was a time when I was going to her on a fairly regular basis and I loved every session. As a runner, she helped work out knots in my legs and hips. Some sessions were more enjoyable than others, but the knots never outlasted her hands. As someone who also spends way too much time in front of the computer, she helped my neck and my back from aches. Bottomline: Once you become a client, you truly feel like you made 2 new friends and you look and feel amazing! read more

Nicole is a knowledgable esthetician. She chooses the right products, advises the most appropriate facials. A wonderful experience and one you will want to repeat! read more
