I was in need of a facial and it has been quite a while, so I needed to hunt down a great place. I found Skin Habit thru Yelp and booked a 50 minute clear skin facial with Bailey. The building itself it no frills and pretty mellow, and doesn't feel stuffy like some of the other places I have visited. Bailey was down to earth, friendly and checked in at various times throughout the appt, but was not overly chatty, which made for a nice relaxing appt. The facial itself was very different from past experiences, in a very good way. The extractions were not painful and I was a little doubtful that anything happened, but when I went hope my skin looked great and a lot of small bumps had been removed. I will def be back and seeing Bailey again. read more

When I moved away, I was really sad. I had to move away from skin habit. When I moved back, it was I never left! Still have great energy there, an amazing facials. Everything is catered towards your skin type. Gabby was excellent at her facial and I'm already looking forward to seeing her again and getting back on track with my facial routines again. I also love the color scheme of the place, everything is so comfortable and welcoming. My skin always feels amazing afterwards. They also have a fantastic rewards program where your points add up after facials too! I love Skin Habit! read more

I had such a great experience at Skin Habit! From the moment I walked in, Xiolene, the manager, greeted me with the warmest welcome. She is truly so sweet and made me feel instantly comfortable. Bri, my esthetician, did an amazing job. I had some congestion around my nose, and she was able to remove it thoroughly while still being incredibly gentle. She has such a calm, soothing energy, which I really appreciated. I'm someone who prefers to fully relax during a facial rather than being asked a lot of questions, and Bri respected that perfectly. She let me enjoy my facial in complete peace and quiet. Xiolene even sent me home with three products to continue my skincare routine so I can maintain that ultimate glow. The environment was beautiful, relaxing, and welcoming overall. I definitely recommend Skin Habit and will absolutely be coming back to see Bri again! read more

I had such a wonderful experience at Skin Habit. My facial with Xiolene was so relaxing -- she was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive, going above and beyond to make the treatment enjoyable. A week later and my skin is still glowing. I'm looking forward to my next visit! read more

Gabrielle at Skin Habit is amazing. She's extremely knowledgeable, professional, and clearly passionate about what she does. The studio is always impeccably clean, and my skin has improved so much since I started going. I have the membership and love it--worth every penny. Highly recommend. read more

Another wonderful facial with Saretta at skin habit in North Park. I request the beauty at any age 50 minute facial and I come out feeling like my skin has lost 10 years. Feels plumper, moist, exfoliated and cleaned and fresh. Oh great soundtrack was playing tonight with all my favorite songs and Saretta and I always have enjoyable conversations about food and hiking and dogs and family members. The 50 minutes seems like it's 20 minutes. Every experience here is five stars and my skin is much better for it. Thank you for the excellent quality service skin habit. I will keep coming back! read more

I just had a 80-minute Clear Skin for All facial with Nancy, and I couldn't be more pleased. Not only did she do a terrific job, she was also friendly and engaging. My favorite part was the massage. I asked Nancy if she was a masseuse - she was that good! I highly recommend Nancy and Skin Habit! read more

A definite must try!! My skin was super congested and this was just what I needed it was a last minute book and now I'm hooked. 10/10 miss Nancy was the best! She was so nice and funny. Also did a great job of explaining every step of the process can't wait to see her in a month!! read more

Bailey is SO professional and thorough! she has an angelic touch and left my skin feeling and looking great!

So disappointing to write this because I had a great experience here last time. I arrived to my 3:15 appointment early and wasn't called back until past 3:20. She had me undress and I laid in the bed waiting until almost 3:30. I assumed I would still get the full 80 minute facial that I booked and would finish at 4:50 due to it starting so late, however my facial finished at 4:33. When I told the front that my facial didn't start until 3:30 she checked with the esthetician who said I was only brought back 5 minutes late and that the time I sat alone waiting counted as part of the 80 minutes. Whatever, it should have at least been 5 extra minutes then since they agreed I was brought back 5 minutes late. The facial itself was fine, she was out of the room for maybe 10-15 minutes of it. She put a headband on but still got a ton of face cream and oil in my hair. read more

I decided to treat myself with an 80-minute facial on my birthday at Skin Habit. I have heard good things about this spot from a friend, so I was eager to try it out for myself with a Hydrate + Calm facial. The storefront is in a great location, right on 30th street and was not hard to find. I was welcomed by my facialist and brought into a very small room right at the front of the facility. The worst part about this facial was the fact that I could not relax at all. Although I felt comfortable, I could hear two people talking for the first 40 minutes of my facial. I think they try to mask out voices with some indie and alternative pop, but that was also playing pretty loudly (did not work to drown out voices either). The facial itself was okay, nothing impressive. I was also disappointed with the massage. It felt more like she was just gliding her hand over me than massaging. I usually have to tell people to apply less pressure, but here I was begging for more! I think the worst part was that it was not the full 80 minutes. My facialist probably came into my room to start 5 or so minutes after 10 AM, and when I looked at my phone with it was over, it was 11:10 AM. So, my facial in total was probably 65 minutes. For the price I paid, I am disappointed and frustrated. Sadly, despite my excitement in trying this spot out, I did not have a great experience at Skin Habit. read more

I used to drive from SD to OC for facials then realized how both time and money-consuming it was. It didn't help that I was apprehensive of a lot of skincare places because my skin was extremely sensitive and American skincare didn't work for me a lot of the time. Even then, Skin Habit had piqued my interest after doing research on the skincare scene in SD because of how it didn't charge up the wazoo like other places and was one of the best-rated spots. Out of desperation one crusty morning, I booked a facial here because they magically had an opening that same day. I've refused to go to any other SD esthetician service since. All of the staff members are friendly and fantastic, but extra shoutout to Saretta and Lilly for being the ones who saved my skin. Other than everyone being so well-trained and the best people to talk to throughout the session, I appreciated that they never product-push. They'll give recommendations and samples, but they never make you feel awkward about not wanting to buy products. They'll really listen to you and help you work with what you already have. That's not to say that their products aren't great, because now almost my entire routine has come from Skin Habit's recs and it's still so much more affordable than going to Sephora for stuff. Skin Habit is truly your one-stop shop for skin care. My skin has never been better and I'm not going broke for fast skincare. I find that the 50-min sessions are sufficient, but I'll occasionally treat myself to the 80-min for the extra massage. I recommend booking a month in advance because appointments can fill up pretty quickly, but they also have a really efficient communication service for waitlists. read more

My first facial ever! After doing some searching, I came upon Skin Habit and the reviews from both locations (North Park and PB) I decided to book an appointment for the Clear Skin for all facial with Hannah at the North Park location. The place is so cute! I arrived a bit early since there is only street parking available, I was lucky to find a spot just a few blocks away. Hannah is AMAZING! I love how she spoke me through the process of what will go into my session, explaining the products being applied to my face and the benefits of each one, and familiarizing herself with the skincare products and routine I already use at home--making minor changes and recommendations to maintain my skin. My skin goal overall was to even out my skin texture, get a deeper cleanse for the clogged pores, and extraction! I felt so refreshed after! My skin was bright and glowing! Something that I have not seen in a long time and have been trying to get back. I am looking forward to my next appointment in November! read more

Skin Habit - took this right after I left so in love with the glow and improvement of my skin texture just after this one session! - Skin Care Near Me - San Diego, California

Loved this spot! I had an 80 minute brighten and glow facial with Karina and it was incredibly relaxing. They are all so knowledgeable and helpful to address skin concerns. I will definitely be returning!! The only downside was that the product upsell at the end felt a bit unnatural and the extra fee for "environmental charge" should be added to the retail price - not a big deal but overall the experience was excellent and excited to come back :) read more

I finally decided to invest in my skin and stop trying to follow skin care trends on social media. This place is cute, clean and simple. Their prices are reasonable and their facial membership is worth it. There is always street parking around the corner and the location is perfect, walking distance to a bunch of coffee shops and restaurants to continue to treat yourself after your facial. I highly recommended Sam, she is amazing at what she does and gives you quality care and advice. I've been going to Sam consistently for the past 6 months and have seen such a huge difference. She gave me step by step instructions on what to use which is exactly what I need when it comes to skin care. They are not pushy at all about products, they recommended products that they carry and also alternatives that may be better for your price range. Book Sam for your next facial and you won't regret it! But also please don't take up all her appt slots! read more

Decided to treat my sister and mom to a facial and came across this spot! I was able to book the 50 min facials for each of us online about a week beforehand. It's a cute place located in North Park - they even had an adorable furbaby to greet me when I visited. I got the Clear Skin facial which includes extractions and exfoliation. I personally really enjoyed the treatment Valerie gave - she walked me through each step of the facial and my skin was glowing afterwards. Even after a couple of days after the facial, my skin is smoother and more moisturized. After your facial, they recommend products you can incorporate into your routine (for purchase). I'll definitely book a facial here whenever I'm back in town. read more

The Skin Habit is my go to place to get a facial. I've been going for several years now and I love it every time! I especially love their 80 minute facials. They are so relaxing! Their staff is amazing and their products they work with smell so good. Every time I go, they give me so many great skin care tips. This past time I went Brianna was amazing talking me through my habits and how I should change and refine my regiment. I totally recommend this place! read more

My daughter came back for spring break and really wanted to try out an acne facial. (First facial ever -she's a teenager) I was able to find immediate openings with this facility for next-day service, so we booked it. My daughter loved it! I also managed to find an appointment for myself but for a different type of facial and also enjoyed the treatment. Definitely considering to come back and potentially join their membership program. read more

get your name on a box, Lilli was my face queen, their vocabulary is off the hook. Lilli knows stuff. I did a same day appointment and it was super chill. I do Believe this is my first official facial. I knew my face needed a pro and I just wanted to get it done right the first time. They had several estheticians so try any of them. Very cool chill indeed and now I look like a hot-muffin. read more

It was really great service and really friendly! My skin felt amazing after my facial.

Changed policy on monthly membership rolling over and refused to give me a refund or credit.

I got the "Clear Skin for All" facial with Brianna and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. She was so kind and had a calming aura. I felt very supported with my skincare journey and offered product recommendations based on my skin type. Searching for products can be overwhelming, so it's so helpful to get the opinion of a specialist. I would recommend her to anyone, and am looking forward to my next session with her. read more

I have been getting facials at Skin Habit since 9/2021. My skin has never been healthier and I feel like I have a "real" skincare routine. Saretta does my facials and is always so helpful with her recommendations for new products or just a revision to what I'm doing already. I do the beauty at any age, I always leave feeling relaxed, moisturized and pampered. Thank you to Saretta for the amazing care and all the staff that keeps things running smoothly. read more

Marvelous quality facials and the customer service team is congenial, and welcoming! Schade gave me an immensely relaxing and nicely exfoliating facial. Can't wait to return for another facial. It's for sure worth the drive all the way to San Diego! read more

My skin has been feeling extra dry because of the cold weather so I wanted to get a facial to help with the itchiness and redness. I had Alyssa help me and it was so relaxing. I added on a neck/shoulder massage since it's been stressful at work but it was great. Alyssa addressed my concerns and gave me recommendations based on what I'm using in my current skincare routine. She informed me of most of the steps of the facial and even warned me about the extraction on my nose but it looks great after! My skin feels a lot better after the facial and I really appreciated the service! read more

After a stressful week they were able to get me in for some much needed self-care. My facial was peaceful, the room has a relaxing vibe and good music (not over or underwhelming). Thank you ladies! read more

Got the best facial from esthetician Lilli! I did a ful 90 minute facial, which included a neck and shoulder massage. Overall, it was relaxing snd I had great conversation with Lilli. We spoke about my current skincare routine and how I could improve it. She gave recommendations when I asked. This was my first facial ever and be warned - the extraction part hurt!! But apparently it gets less uncomfortable if you come often. It was worth it as my skin was glowing when I came out and still feels and looks great a week later. I appreciated that they didn't try to convince me to buy any products or spend more money (as the facial was $120). I did get a small facial serum though. Also-there is no reserved parking for this location. You must find street parking so come a few minutes early! read more

My facial felt extremely rushed and not relaxing at all. It seems like a cute place but I can't recommend it. The pressure she used to remove the products, the face part of the massage, the way she aggressively turned my head, the aggression she used when she was working on blemishes. It felt like "here, dang" read more

WOW WOW WOW WOW first time and definitely coming back! First off everyone's energy in the space is just amazing to be around! From the moment you open the door it is a clean , cute and aesthetically pleasing place that has great vibrant colors and lots of products! The front desk staff were also so helpful from the jump! The facial room (?) is where the magic happens has a storage and hooks for your belongings. They offer gowns and blankets but as an "intermediate-facial- receiver" I knew to where something strapless. From there, Sanetta was just so accommodating and comforting throughout the entire facial. I'm a talker so I was chatty for most of it but relaxed a lot too. Sanetta is just so good that she could follow the ebb and flow of my energy. She constantly assured me of what was next and what it does for my skin (because I kept asking ). The products love! I don't want to spoil too much but my favorite parts were the pineapple and papaya peel and the serum infused oxygen spray ‍ When I finished I was greeted with the cutest customized bucket filled with recommended goodies for my face and instructions for after-care AND my next appt booked hehe Loved it all and so excited to be coming back! read more

If you're looking to get your skin treated at a place that truly cares about working with you along your skin journey than look no further! I've only come here for one appointment so far but their attention to every little detail made my experience 100% worth it. I had Hannah and she was the sweetest. She explained every step thoroughly and asked me a lot of questions about my routine. And rather than try to push the store's products in my face, she kindly recommended a couple of products and explained the rationale for using each one. It was super refreshing because I just can't agree with the ethics and values of a place that won't work with your current skincare routine. I got the 50-minute clear skin treatment which was so thorough and relaxing. She used a gentle peel on my skin before doing extractions. Towards the end, she used a hydrating mask on my face and even applied a lip mask. This place is just doing the most to make their clients happy and I cannot be more appreciative. My skin felt so soft and supple afterwards and it wasn't even red after the peel and extractions because she used a calming product. Overall, I love the system that they use and how they treat every person that walks in. And I love how personalized their care is with their setup! Honestly such a relaxing and rewarding place. I cannot say enough good things about it. read more

Skin Habit - Glowing!! - Skin Care Near Me - San Diego, California

I truly enjoyed my facial with Alyssa this past weekend. I was visiting SD and was in desperate need for a deep pore cleanse, hydration for the fine lines, and some R&R as well! Happy to find this gem in North Park. I did the 80 min with some add-ons (high frequency + micro-current) to enhance my experience. Alyssa was thorough and really knew her stuff. Im in my mid 30s... As I'm am finishing up nursing my son, she assisted me with my skincare routine. She told me what I needed to add or switch up for the upcoming autumn/winter months to assist me with my skin goals. She really helped me to enjoy the vibes -- as we also chatted about SD and some fun places to visit. Ended visit with some sparkling water and mini skincare to go. Everyone was pleasant. From Judith making it easy over the phone for booking my last minute appointment, to Hannah with her smiling face behind the desk and her follow up text the next day. I would surely recommend SKIN HABIT to anyone local and visiting SD. Thanks again, I will return on my next visit or my long awaiting relocation! :) read more

I booked a facial at this place today because my normal place was closed, and I'm so glad that I did. The facial itself was amazing and my skin was glowing after! I definitely took pictures and had to share how impressed I was. Sam, the esthetician who did my facial, was so warm and welcoming and really made me feel I wasn't at a new place at all. I told her about my trip this weekend, and she surprised me with a specific routine to follow so I don't ruin my skin! (Attention to detail on point) She was amazing and one of the main reasons I will be booking here again. Thank you Skin Habit for having me and thank you Sam for making me feel my best! read more

I tried Skin Habit for my first facial ever and have been going back ever since for the last six months! Alyssa is so sweet and thorough which I always appreciate. They do a great job outlining ways to improve your skin routine with a cute weekly regimen card curated just for you. If there are ever any products I didn't have, they have some for sale and they are affordable which is great. If you're interested in a relaxing experience and reason to treat yourself, you have to try this place out! read more

I loved the service from all staff. Olivia was my esthetician she was so friendly and explained the whole process. The prices were fair. My skin did not break out after the appointment and I felt glowing. read more

Noura is the absolute BEST there ever is and ever was. She always takes such good care of me & makes sure I leave feeling happy, relaxed, and beautiful :') She has helped me take my skin from breaking out all the time and inflamed to even toned & healthy.

Skin Habit - No foundation :) - Skin Care Near Me - San Diego, California

Hesitant to book my first facial in San Diego, I wasn't sure if Skin Habit was the right decision. I was able to book a last-minute group appointment on 2/11/24 for a glow and clear skin facial. I was treated by Saretta and after hearing a plethora of reviews regarding her expertise, I was ecstatic to get my acne-prone/dry dehydrated skin by her. She was truly knowledgeable and provided extensive care to my skin while offering suggestions to mitigate my skincare issues. I was so pleased with my experience that I purchased a moisturizer as per Saretta's recommendation. 10/10 experience for my skin improvement simply after one facial. My mom also enjoyed her glow facial with Alyssah and we will definitely be coming back. read more

Love love love Skin Habit! I have been going since 2019 and it gets better and better! Saretta is my go-to esthetician there and really helps my skin since it is prone to break outs. I go every 6 weeks and she cleans my skin throughly! Kristy the owner is very sweet and takes pride in her work and the products they sell. All the products are lovely and they have a variety to choose from depending on your skin type. The decor is awesome and it is super trendy, cute and cozy! Also they just opened a 2nd location in Pacific Beach and added lash services! If you're in either area give them a try or even stop in to check the skin products for sale! read more

I've always been a little on the fence about getting facials, since I have pretty decent skin, but Skin Habit has changed my mind. I'm a fairly new customer, but my last two experiences have been wonderful; Saretta is a wonderful esthetician and person in general. I always leave feeling so relaxed, and my skin is better than it was before. If you're on the fence like I was, give it a chance-you won't regret it. read more
