Some people might say she's "rude," but honestly, she's just real--and I'd rather have someone be honest than let me walk around not looking my best.

Her coworker is just as talented--both of them are skilled, detailed, and truly care about their work. You can tell they take pride in making sure every client leaves looking their best. The experience is just as good as the results. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is calm and relaxing. Sometimes I just lay back in the chair and almost fall asleep--that's how comfortable it is. Highly recommend if you want expert threading, honest guidance, and a place that actually cares about how you look and feel.

I've tried a few…read moreother threading places after moving to a different part of San Diego, but nothing has matched the quality here. I recently came back after about 6 months of not getting my eyebrows done and was a little nervous it would hurt, but it really didn't. I don't know if it's their technique or the type of thread they use, but it's noticeably less painful than other places I've tried. That alone makes such a big difference. They always do an amazing job shaping my brows, and I leave happy every time. It's one of those places where you know you're in good hands. At this point, I'm done experimenting with other spots, I'll be sticking with Beauty by Dolly from now on. Highly recommend if you're looking for consistent, quality eyebrow threading.

My service was with Rhea, and I had a deep facial cleanse followed by a chemical peel. She did an…read moreexcellent job explaining each step of the process, which made me feel comfortable and informed throughout the treatment. Before starting, Rhea carefully assessed my skin and gave me honest recommendations about what my skin needed--and what it didn't. I really appreciated her personalized approach. The chemical peel was temporarily uncomfortable, but it was absolutely worth it. I've already been getting compliments on how great my skin looks! The recovery took about three days. During that time, it was important to stay out of the sun and keep my skin well-moisturized with Aquaphor. As I applied the Aquaphor, my skin gradually began to peel, the peeling was happening a lot faster on day 3. If you're considering a chemical peel, I recommend planning your schedule around the recovery period and following the aftercare instructions closely, since your skin will be very delicate. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend Rhea.

I don't often write reviews, but Avalon Laser has consistently exceeded my expectations and…read moreabsolutely deserves one. I want to give a special shout-out to Dr. Tirgari and his outstanding team, especially Laleh and Raiza. I've had several cosmetic skin treatments with them over the year, and I've been extremely happy with both the experience and the results. Without getting into too many personal details, I've noticed a meaningful improvement, and it's clear they genuinely care about helping their patients look and feel their best while maintaining natural-looking results. What truly sets Avalon Laser apart, though, is the people. Dr. Tirgari, Laleh, Raiza, and the entire staff are simply good people who take pride in doing good work. You can tell they genuinely enjoy helping people feel more confident in their own skin. There is never any pressure, upselling, or high-pressure sales tactics--just honest recommendations based on what they believe is right for you. When they do offer promotions, they're genuinely competitive and a great value. Listen, no matter where you go, cosmetic treatments are highly individualized, and results will naturally vary from person to person. But if you're looking for a team that will take the time to understand your goals, treat you with honesty and respect, and do everything they can to help you achieve the best results possible, I can't recommend Avalon Laser highly enough.

Being almost eight months pregnant, getting a Brazilian required extra care and patience, as I needed to take a few breaks due to discomfort/pain. Ann was very understanding and accommodating, which made a significant difference. She also made the experience much less painful than expected. Her technique is smooth, precise, and clearly demonstrates her expertise. It's evident that she takes pride in her work and knows exactly what she's doing. In addition to her professionalism, Ann has a warm and welcoming demeanor that makes you feel comfortable right away. I was so impressed that I went ahead and booked my next two appointments with her before my due date. As someone new to San Diego, I can confidently say I've found my go-to wax specialist.

I'm glad I held off because what happened to me this time was unprofessional and I will not be returning. I will start off saying that my first time here was a lovely experience with Amy. I got my very first lash lift and tint ever. She was so sweet and the results came out fantastic. I was so pleased that around the 5 week mark I wanted to come back and get my lashes lifted again, the day before leaving for a vacation. Unfortunately I was not able to book with Amy again. I booked a few days in advance with the provider Desiree on Mother's day at 9am so I could get this done early and spend the rest of the day with my mom. On the day of my appointment, my provider texted me at 5 am (4 hours before the appointment) cancelling on me and asking to reschedule. I understand people get sick and things come up, but that's when you need to find a replacement when it's that short of notice. Whether her being sick was the truth or not, cancelling on Mothers day just give the impression you didn't want to come in on the holiday. I texted back and asked if there was anyone else who could do it because I am leaving the next day and I didn't hear anything back from her. I then had to scramble and spend double the amount I was going to in order to find a place that was 1. even open on Sundays and 2. had an appointment sometime during the day. It honestly ruined my whole schedule for the day and interrupted my time spent with my mom. Under normal circumstances and I wasn't leaving for a trip the next day this wouldn't be a really big deal to reschedule. It was just incredibly frustrating. After looking over several other reviews for this place it seems like attendance and being punctual from many employees is not this place's strong suit. If somewhere is charging cancellation fees for clients for last minute cancelling, the providers shouldn't be able to do it 4 hours before the appointment, or if they can't make it, find someone who can step in. I'm very disappointed and do not plan to return to this place even though I loved having Amy work on me my first visit.

I've had this place on my radar for a while and decided to give it a try since my microneedling…read moreperson was unavailable. For my first experience, this was horrendous. I am a Groupon girl and I've had several services from there including other microneedling and this was the worst. First, I was on my way and ensured I was 10 minutes and on my way Melissa texts me that she will be 15 MINUTES LATE. So I get there and I'm waiting, debating if I should leave but I'm already here so whatever I guess. Second, there is very minimal talk and she didn't seem to want to be there, simply "having to work Saturdays and every other Sunday soon because she needs money". Third, there is INSANE road closures and noise with the windows open, there is ZERO chance of relaxing. The service was 45min, yet it took 20 min to numb me and then 5-ish minutes of microneedling itself. The needle depth was set way too high. I should be on 0.5mm it seemed higher based on feeling so much when I was numbed already. The gliding and pressure was too much and yet, I'm almost 2 weeks in and I don't see much of a difference. Lastly, she was rushing through the service I'd assume because someone was late which delayed other services. The movement of the facial, needling and moving stuff around was obvious she was stressed, rushing and not attending to clients. Unfortunately, I will never return, and I'll wait for my microneedling person instead.
