I saws results right away! Her techniques are like Magic in a bottle :) She offers a large range of services and they are very reasonable prices. The place is clean and comfy! She has great scheduling and customer service. I felt very comfortable and was glad I got a steal with her Groupon Deal. I have now completed 2 out of my 3 procedures and I feel and look like a million bucks! When I asked questions about some other services she was informative and gave a honest opinion about what she thinks would be good for me. There is no pressure with more services which makes me feel like this good be the beginning of a beautiful skincare relationship :) read more

I never ever ever thought this would happen to me but she HARD SOLD me a chemical peel. It was my first chemical peel and she pushed on additional, stronger acne peels. I later found out this was highly unethical and totally unheard of. Ater my treatment my face turned bright red and stayed that way for a month and A RASH DEVELOPED FOR OVER 3 MONTHS. I HAD TO GO TO THE DERMATOLOGIST TWICE. My face was also constantly itchy and irrataed even though it has been over 6 months now. CANDY IS A NICE WOMAN but the facility is not a proper skincare place and I DISCOURAGE EVERYONE FROM GOING THERE. read more

If I could give less than 1 star I would. I just left an appointment with Candy,and I have never walked out on an apointment in my life. I bought the 3 Perfector Nonsurgical Facelifts as a Groupon. The first one left me so bruised, I asked if I could exchange the next 2, and she refused. I thought that was kinda weird and rude, but oh well, what do I know? She said to try it again and she would be gentler. Same result. I said I was not coming back for a third, and was surprised when she offered a facial on the third appointment, so I agreed to come back. Before the scheduled facial, she called me and said "where are you?" I reminded her I had changed my appointment to September 13. She said that she had to "start writng stuff down". Duh yea. So, I make the time to go in, get settled and she starts the damn Perfector machine. I reminded her of all of our conversations, as well as the fact that I had eyelash extensions and to not rub my eyes with the cleanser. 3 seconds later she forgot that too and tried to wipe my eyelashes off! Well, she did not remember that I was there for the facial, a "fair exchange" is what I wrote down after her call to me previously. She said "oh no, I would never offer that." I showed her my paperwork, and she still wanted $30 more. I was so disgusted I started to leave, she relented, but nastily. I left, cleanser on my face and all. UNBELIEVABLE. It is not the $30, it is the fact that she is looney toones and never remembers anything she says. Plus she has the attention span of a knat. Goodby Skincare by Candy. Dont frequent this forgettable 1 woman spa. read more

9/21/2012 appt - i started this review and abandoned because I was so frustrated/annoyed. I am finally completing it today. I AGREE WITH CINDY T! Where is a ZERO star?! My husband purchased a voucher online (KGB or Groupon or something) for a micro dermabrasion facial. First flag? I called for an appt. Unprofessional; got the sense she was bothered by the call. She inquired about type of my voucher and then rudely directed me to her website to schedule. The visit? AWKWARD. While I filled out paperwork she sat to the side silent and impersonal. She asked for the voucher and before I could hand it to her she said "Isnt it expired?" I replied 'No, today is the last day." She skeptically reviewed and we moved on. Microderm process only completed on one side of my face; other side barely addressed; didn't last 20 mins. The 'extractions' were painful and she "attempted" to remove the milia - which has left me with 3 wounds/blemishes on my face; and before she started the facial, she felt I needed some sort of additional mask/peel that - of course - would be extra, but not take any longer than the appt time allotted. Bogus! The whole procedure in no way lasted an hour - not even with the extra - I was short-changed! Never, ever go here. Now i'm skeptical of using a voucher to 'test' out a place to get regular facials. Waste of time & money. Boooo! read more

I cannot sing praises enough for "Skincare by Candy". If I could give Candy 100 stars I would. She is without doubt the very BEST esthetician in North County. Her professionalism and 25 years of experience speak for themselves - what she doesn't know about skincare, isn't worth knowing. Combined with her warm, caring personality and a clear passion for the best techniques and products by world-leading DMK - the most effective and clinically-proven facials and skin revision treatments in the market Everything Candy does is tailored towards you, the individual - it's both a personalized and customized service. Today I had the best facial of my life - a non-surgical facelift - I came out feeling like a princess and looking like a glowing goddess, with beautiful radiant and toned skin. I swear Candy is a magician - she made me look at least 5 years younger. I highly recommend Candy to anyone who is serious about their skin and wants to radically transform the way they look and feel about their skincare routine. read more

Candy really loves what she does and it shows by the results! After getting the skin treatment, I could see that the circulation in my face, neck and chest had better circulation. The wrinkles in my face have been reduced and my skin feels much softer than it was. Candy really cares about her clients by asking questions that can help her know how to treat. Thank you, Candy, for being a professional! read more

Great skin care company. I would recommend candy if you're looking for getting your skin back and making it look youthful again and hydrated. read more

Best facial I've ever had! Candy is great! She explained every part of the process to me to help me understand what to expect. My skin looks. AMAZING! And my eczema is better! read more

Candy is one of the most attentive estheticians in North County. She takes the time to listen to your concerns with your skin. Skin care is personal. No two people have exactly the same type of skin, therefore everyone needs to have a customized system to achieve the best skin possible. I'm impressed with her knowledge and excellent care. You'll be just as impressed with her as I have been. Get started today, look better tomorrow. I highly recommend this professional and the services she offers. read more

I was told I would get a freebie if I wrote a positive review so beware of some of the breathlessly positive reviews you read here. My 3 Perfector treatments went fairly well (frequent changes of dates by Candy) but Candy is hard sell and admitted that to get a "facelift" effect 2-3 per week were necessary and she would make a special price of only $150 each for me. You can do the math. It's cheaper to just get the facelift. Candy does lack refinement and a delicate touch and the salon is minimal. Can't say I would recommend it, and you need to be able to resist continual solicitation to buy. nor in carlsbad read more

Experience was HORRIBLE. I purchased a Groupon for the non-surgical facelift. The procedure itself wasn't that bad; however, my experience with Candy was. Her demeanor is very harsh, abrasive, and down right rude. She didn't want to honor the Groupon when I bought it - then relented saying "well you already purchased it." She called me by the wrong name every single time. She isn't flexible at all - being in the service industry, this is a MUST. I bought 2 Groupons (the deal was for two); I couldn't stomach going in for the 2nd treatment so I just "ate" the money. I'm not sure where she is from originally and if in some way that may play into her personality as a predisposition, but she has the worst "bedside" manner of anyone from which I've received a facial and doesn't know the meaning of the word manners or how to utilize the words please and thank you. Candy, in my opinion, doesn't belong in the service industry and I wouldn't recommend her to anyone. It's unfortunate. A facial should be relaxing and normally they are. read more

Best facial I have ever had. You can tell Candy loves what she does, skilled, and is filled with a wealth of knowledge. I highly recommend her. read more

She is a very unprofessional lady and a con-artist. Too bad there isn't zero stars to give her. Every time I go to her she tries to rip me off .... times maybe tough candy, but that is not a way to run a business! read more

Not good!!!! I gave my sister a facial coupon to use for a birthday present. We both have had many facials. Candy had trouble getting her machine to work and when my sister came to see me after her microdermabrasion facial, her face was still gritty! My sister felt rushed and it WAS NOT a relaxing experience. Would NOT recommend. read more

I wish I could give Candy 10 stars! She is a skin perfectionist and has really helped me to get ready for my wedding even though I had a very limited time frame. She knows her stuff and has a ton of equipment and techniques to help anyone who wants to glow or has problem skin. I will be continuing my skin care with her after the wedding. Highly recommend!!! read more

I just came from getting a neck lift from Live Gorgeous and which I didn't have to go back the lady really burned me :30 minutes later and I'm still hurting. When my daughter took me to do a face lift by Candy I didn't or burn Candy made my face feel cool, moisturized and smooth and never gone outdoors without make up but my skun felt so good after the treatment that I didn't want ti ruin the texture by applying make up so I went out to dinner with out it. So I give Candy a five star and look forwar to more treatments with Candy. read more

Candy is the consummate professional! Not only is she an EXPERT in her field and way out in front of her competitors with her knowledge of skin care, her personal touch and kindness is what keeps ME going back month after month. I know I am in good hands with Candy and also appreciate her competitive pricing. Being a small boutique owner allows her to pass the savings $$ on to her clients. It's a win-win for everyone AND my skin looks amazing! Candy = The sweetest option for your skin care! read more

I am so happy with the level of service and professionalism by Candy. She is so knowledgeable about skincare and the products she uses. The results from my treatments are UNREAL.... I have seen a reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, bags and skin discoloration. The firmness of my skin has improved incredibly. When other people start noticing your skin and giving you compliments, you know what you are doing is working! I HIGHLY recommend Candy, its worth EVERY dime!!! read more

I've had 2 non surgical facelift appts so far from my groupon, the experience was good,I had a dry spot on my forehead for 2weeks prior to this that I just couldn't get rid of but after the treatment she did a steam towel on me and also applied a lotion called Lemieux a 24 hour age defiying cream and the patch of dryness went away for good.I was very grateful for that.Good job candi. read more

Went to her for the first time a few weeks back for a non surgical face lift. She was great! Super knowledgeable and took a lot of time to explain what she was doing and why. Also gave great advice on good skin care. She is on time and very professional. Offers great Groupon deals to try her services. Definite thumbs up. Kim read more

Candy provides wonderful facial services in a very professional manner. I leave after a treatment pampered and relaxed with my skin feeling very vibrant and refreshed. I receive comments from friends that I look more relaxed these days. The salon is well appointed and spotlessly clean in a very convenient location near the freeway. Candy offers evening appointments making it convenient for working professionals. She offers skin products for sale but there is no pressure to buy which is greatly appreciated read more

I've been seeing Candy every week since I purchased my groupon for non-surgical facelift for almost 2 years. I love what it has done for my face and my self-esteem. I also have some sun spots that are now halfway erased due to product I've been using each night. I feel more energetic and youthful and must more confident. I'm in the public eye for my job and confidence is a big part of my interaction with people. Before I was shying away when confronted, now I am interfacing regularly and proud of my appearance. I have had some peels and have loved the results even though I was afraid at first. Candy puts my mind at ease and won't do anything that I am uncomfortable with. I appreciate that! I won't go to someone I can't trust. read more

I bought the Groupon for 3 surgical lift. The place is right off the Carlsbad Village exit, very easy to locate. Candy worked on my face with very experienced hands. She is a PRO!! I could see the result of the 'lift' immediately. I also liked the scheduling done online, easy to follow. I am looking forward to return soon. read more
