Absolutely loved my experience at Serenity Skin and Spa in Newport Beach! Lani was absolutely amazing, so caring, friendly, and professional from beginning to end. The facial and LED therapy were incredible, and my skin felt refreshed, glowing, and so healthy afterward. The customer service was truly the best I've experienced. Lani made me feel comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality skincare and a wonderful spa experience. I can't wait to come back! read more

Great facial Experience with Lani. Finally found someone who I feel comfortable with and trust. My skin felt like baby's skin! Can't wait for my next facial!! Lani is very personable and truly enjoys what she does so you're in great hands. Trust! read more

Let me just start with - I NEVER write reviews but Lani is the best and she is THAT amazing! From professionalism to kindness to a good person to talk to during appointments, she overall does not disappoint. Lani created a specialized regimen for my specific skin so that I can have glowing skin for my wedding in March 2026. The image I posted here is before I had a facial (left) and after 3 sessions (right). I do microdermabrasion, light peel, and red light therapy. I still have 3 more sessions until the wedding, however, the picture speaks for itself. As someone who does lots of research before I do something, I had found Lani through Yelp and it was the best discussion I have made for my skin. So if you are reading this and trying to make a choice - go with Serenity Skin Spa! I have never had a facial before and I struggled with acne throughout my childhood and into adulthood. Now look at my skin! That was all Lani and consistency with the skincare we had discussed. I have been getting compliments on my skin with the very noticeable difference of being more smooth and a lighter complexion. I seriously can't stop staring at my skin - it makes me feel so confident. Lastly, I bought the Arya Hyaluronic Acid serum from Lani and it is liquid gold. I have dry combination skin and wow it locks in the hydration better than anything I have used before. Thank you so much Lani! read more

Serenity Skin Spa - Microdermabrasion, light peel, and LED light therapy - Skin Care Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Lani is very attentive and knowledgeable about skin care. The entire facial treatment was a total pamper experience. In addition to the amazing facial, she gave a great neck and shoulder massage, head rub and hand massage. I highly recommend Lani read more

I found Lani by chance while searching for someone who offered back facials & I truly believe the stars aligned that day! I've struggled with adult acne and bacne for years, and finding someone who genuinely cares and understands how to treat it has been life changing. My back and face have never looked better! I usually get a peel on my back to help with scarring and a Glo2Facial on my face, and the results have been incredible. She takes her time, never rushes, and gives the most relaxing massage. Beyond the facials, Lani is such a sweet and kind soul!! You can feel how much she truly cares about her clients. And to top it all off, her pricing is honestly the best I've found. She's a true gem! read more

I started going to Lani at the beginning of this year because I was getting really bad breakouts on my face and my skin was always so dry, yet so oily later in the day. Let me just say my face looked so much better just from the first facial! Lani is so knowledgeable and helped me get a routine down that has rejuvenated my skin so much. I've been going every month and my skin is so much more hydrated and glowy now. I am getting married in November and was insecure about my bumpy skin on my arms that I've always had since I was little. Lani suggested her microdermabrasion service. I had my 2nd microdermabrasion today and my arms feel so smooth and look so much lighter. Such amazing results! Aside from the amazing results, she has the softest touch with such an amazing energy that is super relaxing. So happy to have found her! read more

I've had at least 4 facial treatments with Lani at Serenity Skin Spa in Newport Beach. It is the most relaxing and complete experience I've ever had! My skin is glowing and my mind feels completely relaxed. I can't say enough wonderful things about this place. I've signed up for another series of facials! read more

Hands down BEST FACIAL I have ever received. I've been coming to Lani for years and she has truly helped transform my skin. I had some really bad cystic ache on my chin when I got off of birth control and she helped to turn the situation around. The products she uses are awesome and I always gets compliments on my skin after I've had a facial. So grateful for all her help! read more

I had my first facial with Lani. It was a great experience and very comfortable. Lani is very professional and knowledgeable about skin care. I will definitely be back for more. read more

To say Lani is a gem is an understatement. Out of all the places i could go for skin care in OC and I happened to find her is nothing short of a blessing. I've been seeing her monthly for the past 5 months and I always leave feeling so relaxed and refreshed. I admire my skin for the next few days after our appointments. Lani does an excellent job in customizing services for your individual skin needs. I bought the Brightening Peel Facial with microdermabrasion and LED Light Therapy Add on. I most recently tried the Geneo with an Invigorating Customized Facial, which has quickly become my favorite. I noticed a difference immediately and am still glowing the next day. After seeing Lani, my pores are smaller, my skin is smoother and tighter. If I have a breakout before I see her, my acne is noticeably minimized the next day and cleared up completely within a couple days whereas it would normally take up 2 weeks to clear. Lani is a rarity and after watching how my skin has transformed in her care, I can honestly say I trust her fully. If she recommends anything, I take her up on it. I know she'll do an excellent job. Below is a pic of what my skin looked like after the Geneo with Invigorating Customized Facial. Go ahead and zoom in. My complexion looks amazing. read more

Serenity Skin Spa - Post Genio Facial Treatment - Skin Care Near Me - Newport Beach, California

The best facial!! Lani explained everything and did an amazing job. The entire experience was relaxing and the outcome was shocking! Took years off Will definitely be back. read more

I came here at the recommendation of a friend and I am hooked. Lani provides an Incredibly fair price for 5 star service! I have dark spots on my face that have gotten increasingly lighter with each photo facial. I am hooked on the microdermabrasion, peel and photo facials here!! I also love all of the products she uses. I wish I took a before photo to post-- but In just a few months, people have commented that I look younger and my skin looks good!! I feel more confident without make up thanks to her! The eye cream decreases the dark circles and puffiness in my eyes. It really works! (Pictured in the center below) I use the clarifying lotion morning and night. The combination of facial treatments and products is magic! Overall, Lani is an expert in her craft. She has knowledge of all skin types and I highly recommend her services. read more

Lani's facials are amazing! I get compliments on my skin all the time. I also love all the products I have gotten from her. I have very sensitive skin and often get reactions to different creams, but everything I have gotten from Serenity Skin Spa has been incredible and my skin loves it! I am a big fan of the Clarifying Luxe Face Lotion and the Exfoliating Gel Cleanser but have also used the Purity Cleanser (more of a gentle cleanser) and Clear Skin Cleansing Mousse (for acne). I highly recommend Lani at Serenity Skin Spa for all your facial needs! It's more than just a facial, and you will be very happy with your results! read more

Four years ago my dad got me a gift card for Serenity Skin Spa, and I have been coming back religiously ever since! I have sensitive skin so I was hesitant at first because I have had negative experiences with facials in the past at other places, but Lani quickly put my fears to rest with her high level of expertise and care. Lani is unique because she genuinely cares so much about her clients and ensuring that you have the best results possible. Her products and technique are highly effective but also have high quality ingredients that have never ever irritated my sensitive skin. I suffer from hormonal acne which can be really painful but after a treatment with Lani my skin is so much clearer and calmer. I should also note that Lani's range of products work so well with my skin and coupled with her treatments I have had noticeable improvement in dark spots and scarring over the past few years. I would definitely encourage everyone to check out Serenity Skin Spa!! read more

I never write reviews, but decided to write one for Serenity Skin Spa because Lani is just so amazing. I've been getting facials from her regularly (every 4-6 weeks) for the past year or so and every single experience has been outstanding. She is never rushed, always attentive to my specific needs, and my skin comes out looking amazing each time. I've never had anything remotely resembling a reaction to any of the products used, and I've also been using some products from her own cosmetics line, which is fantastic. She is truly a master of her craft, and I can't imagine going anywhere else for a facial! read more

My first visit with Lani was summer 2019 and I came out of there glowing! I got a ton of compliments on my skin after that visit. Ever since then, I've gone to a few different estheticians but didn't have the same wonderful experience. I've thought of that facial for two years and always was wishing I lived in newport so I could go to her regularly. I finally got to see her today and had an even better experience which I didn't think was possible. I wish I took a before and after photo of my skin! Lani is so gentle, knowledgeable, and kind. She's taught me a lot about how to care for my skin in just two visits. I highly highly recommended her. I'm most likely going to make specific trips monthly back to OC from sf just to see her. That's how amazing she is!!! read more

Lani has really helped me improve my skin over the past year. Her facials are worth every penny. My skin is now smoother, more even, my fine lines are less visible and my pores have gotten smaller. Her work space is always clean and smells great. She's very knowledgeable and has been an esthetician for so long. I trust her entirely with my skin. She also has great skin products that is her own line and I believe that's why my skin looks great even weeks after my facial. I love her eye serum and moisturizers. She has a lot to offer for different skin types. Give her a try, she'll change your life! read more

Serenity Skin Spa - Absolutely no filters. I've been doing the microdermabrasion with a light peel. - Skin Care Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Wonderful person, calming ambiance, and great expertise. My husband greatly enjoyed his Gentlemen's Facial with Lani and we both look forward to returning! read more

Truly the best facial in Orange County. I trust Lani and I love the way I look and feel after I see her. The products are incredible, she uses the latest and greatest tools for her treatments and the results show she is ahead in her industry. I also love the skin care line she developed, it's better than any skin care I've used and I've tried a lot of premium products. Natural ingredients, the serums, washes, lotions and masks are the amazing and so healing! Prices are competitive, you get more out of the experience than other facials that cost much more. I feel better and happier with my skin and overall feel good vibes so for me that's priceless. It's a good day when I get to see Lani! read more

Serenity Skin Spa - Arya Skin Care is the best. Even when I'm tempted and buy from department stores I always go back to this line. - Skin Care Near Me - Newport Beach, California

I would highly recommend this place to all yelpers. Lani is excellent!! She leaves your skin feeling smooth and young. Lani is a very knowledgeable esthetician.. read more

I came in based off her reviews/photos and I left feeling brand new! Lani is absolutely amazing. She really takes her time to explain all the different types of services she offers so you can make an educated decision on what's best for your skin. I came in with some breakouts and dull/dry skin. Two days post facial my breakouts have cleared-up. I highly recommend getting a consultation and letting Lani work her magic on you! read more

Lani is absolutely amazing!! Before Lani, I had acne, acne scars, and visible pores. Not anymore, though! And this is only after three facials and peels. I have gotten the signature facial, microdermabrasion, LED, oxygen, and blue light / red light therapy - they are worth every penny and she provides them at a price much lower than what you would pay at a medspa or other places. Also, the lymphatic drainage massage she gives during the facial is so good! I have searched for the best of the best, and I finally found Lani. You can't beat her talent and care. I will definitely keep going to Lani! I'm so grateful I found her! read more

I was very impressed and equally delighted when I received my first facial from Lani. I've been in the spa industry myself for 18 years now, so it takes a lot to bring about those reactions within me. She covers the basics well: wonderful products, beautiful flow of movements, very nice facial massage and a really peaceful environment. But what separated her from the pack was the energy which she brought to the treatment. She has a very healing vibe and I felt extra nurtured through the treatment because of this. This is rare. She also rocked the massage portion of the treatment (shoulders, arms, hands & feet). OMG! I was in heaven, truly. I'm a massage therapist and I'm often disappointed in the massage portion of facials. Lani got in there deep and relaxed me to levels I've never experienced in a facial. I've since had a few more facials with her. She simply is the best. I hope you can give yourself this wonderful therapeutic experience too. read more

My skin has been a mess throughout my pregnancy, and Lani saved the day. -- Squeezed me in last minute (I was desperate) even though it entailed her staying late after a long day -- Even though it was late and last minute, I felt like a VIP. She spent a good amount of time on a consultation with me before she even touched my face, more than anyone ever has (even my dermatologist ...) -- She was thoroughly knowledgable on what products I can use now (while pregnant) and what would be best to switch to once I'm not -- She did not force products on me but did provide lots of great samples for me to take home I wound up buying a package deal, something I rarely do. Her prices are so reasonable for what you get. She is very thorough and I'm so pleased with the results after just one day. read more

I really love Yelp! If it wasn't for Yelp, I would not have found Lani and her wonderful services. I've been getting regular facials for the last 3 years or so in NB and Irvine--I started with one of the more well-known spas in NB. It was always a nice experience, but never saw any noticeable difference in my skin (other than the same evening of my facial). So I continued searching--with a couple negative experiences and some positive but still not completely happy. Whether it was the lack of pampering or unavailability of evening services, I continued my search until now. What a wonderful experience I had at Serenity Skin Spa! It takes a lot for me to relax since I'm always thinking about all the things I have to get done. But this was so relaxing and very results-oriented, which is what I've been looking for. And, my skin still looks nice, even though it's been almost a week since I got my facial. Upon leaving my appointment, I made another appointment for next month. I'm so looking forward to seeing even more improvements in my skin through regular visits with Lani. Thank you Lani, and thank you to all who helped me make this decision through your positive reviews! read more

I absolutely love to give great reviews to those who deserve it - and she definitely deserves it - she's actually better than great - SUPERB! The room is spacious, but not too big to where you can't relax (the ones where there's too much going on); she gives you the privacy to change & get comfortable. Before starting (and each time) she will go over with you exactly what you're looking for - she'll give suggestions, but never pushy if you don't want to try other things. Her facials are the most relaxing thing I have ever felt. After it's all done, she will make sure that you are happy with how things went and how your skin looks. She'll talk to you about continuing your skin care in-between facials/treatments, but don't worry, she won't push you into buying anything. I have had facials before finding Lani @ Serenity, and they were so-so. I just wish I had found her sooner! But that's in the past...I will never go anywhere else for anything dealing with my skin...in fact, I see her almost every month, and because I do, my skin is the best it's ever been! read more

I went to Lani as a suggestion from my girlfriend. I'm not into typically into the "pampering" myself thing, but for some odd reason I didn't immediately reject the idea. Lani is very clean, thorough, professional, and a just a great person. I've gone twice now and will definitely continue seeing her each month. I'd highly recommend her to women and men! read more

Never disappointed!' Just had an-amazing facial. The owner Lani is very intuitive and creates amazing facials for my skin

Since I spend so much time outside, I started looking for a men's facial to combat the aging process. I was happy to see that Lani offered a gentleman's facial since most places tend to cater to female clients, so I went ahead and purchased a Yelp Deal. I was really happy with the ease of setting up an appointment online and glad that she offers later appointments after work. When you get there, Lani makes you very comfortable and goes over everything that she will do. It's clear that she knows what she's doing and takes her work very seriously. Overall, it is a very relaxing experience and I'd recommend it to any guy. No need to feel any less manly because you're getting a facial. Taking care of your skin is what you should be doing. I opted to get the Pumpkin Peel since I saved money with the Yelp Deal and would recommend it. It smells really good too. Lani called me the next day to ask me how I looked and that shows she really cares about her clients. Tip: If you purchase the Yelp Deal, add on a few extras when you're there. Chances are you, like me, haven't had a facial before so we need all the help we can get. read more

This is my regular place to get my facials because they are amazing!! Lani is so gentle, thorough and knowledgeable. She has a calming zen about her. I've been to other places but she is the only one I will let touch my face now! I've done the microdermabrasion and pumpkin chemical peels both I would recommend to anyone trying to get a smooth fresh look. She also gives a great massage! Try her one time and you will know what I'm talking about read more

It was very nice, and 2 1/2 weeks later I saw real results. I feel that that is the proper time to see definitive differences. Location was easy to find as was parking. Place was clean and attractively put together. Appt started a "bit" late as she had a very needy talkative elderly woman finishing up. Honestly, if she had hurried the woman out, it would have been a strike against her from me .I can wait 6-7 minutes for our elderly, please God, I'll be there someday. She explained everything to me, upsold me a bit (I love that) and was very soft to the touch. It was a great experience, the only down side for me was that she WAS a bit chatty, I prefer a bit of silence during spa services. But I think I'm in the minority there. read more

I'm going to keep this review short because I plan on returning soon and often. I totally lucked out when Lani called me back to book a last minute facial on a Sunday evening. How often do you find someone who is more than happy to work during their weekend?! Came in for a facial and ended adding on a back facial just for first-time-funsies. Your wonderful esthetician works out of a quaint little office turned bite of heaven. It's peaceful, cozy and simply relaxing to be in. Now I've had my share of facials but my experience at Serenity trumps them all. Lani is detailed, thorough, professional, and completely client-oriented. She patiently answered all my questions, explained the processes, gave me suggestions but was never pushy, and 'disappeared' when I just needed to relax in my own thoughts. Thank you tons, Lani! read more

Please try it, you'll never regret! I found Lani online and read all the reviews I found first. They were great. You know what? All they say is true end even more. I do microdermabrasion there, bought the series of 4. She gave me a good deal on the package. Lani is a sweetheart, she'll answer all your question and will make you feel as much comfortable as possible. I love that you are there for 75 minutes at least (the longest micro I've had) and she won't leave you for a minute. Even while she puts the mask on, she will massage your shoulders, head and hands (she is great at it too!). The whole atmosphere is so relaxing and really a spa like experience in that little cozy room. I love going there. She also is very personal to you, and you can tell she cares and is really doing her best to help you and your skin feel the best. I wish all the luck to Lani because she deserves it. P.S. Also I've recently tried LED lighting and multiple peels, love it all! read more

My best friend gave me a gift certificate to this place. I'm beyond grateful that she did. It is by far the best facial experience i've ever had. It was so relaxing and I saw an improvement within just one session. I got the Mircodermabrasion with a pumpkin facial. I cannot wait to go back see how amazing my skin will turn out over time. read more

I came upon Lani about 6 years ago when my son gave me a gift certificate for Serenity Skin Spa. I was pleasantly surprised by the charming, calm space and Lani's knowledgeable and intuitive way. She spent a lot of time up front looking at my skin and asking me questions about my skin and my goals. She did a treatment that left me glowing and relaxed that day and since then, I've been hooked! I've been going to see Lani regularly for her Brightening Peel & LED Light Therapy Combo and my skin has never looked better! It's clear and glowing and continues to look better and better, which is wonderful, since I've had a lot a discoloration from my younger days in the sun. Lani also has an amazing skincare line of her own called Arya, and I absolutely love her Gentle Mattifying Tinted Sunscreen. My appointments with Lani always leave me feeling beautiful and relaxed! read more

I absolutely LOVE getting my facials with Lani! If you want a REAL facial from point A-Z, she is your gal! Not only does she use great machines, peels, and skin care, she takes her time with you! I love the fact that the prices are also budget friendly so that you can truly commit to going at least once a month! I did a microdermabrasion with a brightening peel and honestly my skin looks and FEELS great! I usually don't do many yelp reviews but this time I really had to because Lani deserves it! Highly recommend Ladies and Gents! read more

Lani is the absolute best esthetician I have come across in years. Her quality and knowledge, I have never found in high end spas or doctor offices .. She gives her clients the absolute best consults regarding their skins needs not to mention at the most affordable price. I feel like I am in heaven after I am done and I get so many compliments on my skin ( my acne and wrinkles diminish thanks to her !) .. Give her one try and I promise you will not regret it. It's the best investment with amazing results. I could go on and on .. :) read more

I'm definitely a regular for a reason - Lani is the best! I always know I will have a positive and relaxing facial. Lani is great at explaining the benefits of the products she uses and provides suggestions/solutions for preventative care. I always receive compliments on my skin especially when using her sunscreen. Her treatments are relaxing and time well spent! read more

This was my first time getting a facial, and I even took my boyfriend to get the invigorating facial with microdermabrasion. Lani is super nice! I called to make an appointment and was squeezed in on a Saturday morning even though she had family plans that day. The place is super clean and cute, and super relaxing that we almost fell asleep! Lani is super thorough and doesnt cut any corners. She took her time and didn't rush anything. I really noticed a difference in my boyfriend's face. Our faces felt super clean afterwards after those years of those buildups! Definitely recommend this place! read more
