It's been over a year since I had gotten a facial, and wanted to find a location closer to me. I came upon Smart Set Aesthetics and decided to book a hydrofacial after seeing the reviews and also the fair pricing for their services! I booked this appointment with the lovely Amanda! She's the sweetest and made me feel refreshed, I can't wait until my next appointment I love that they also offer PMU and hair services! Parking is super convenient with both a parking structure and metered parking offered, and suite location is tucked in a cute little plaza! Such a cute space and so comfy/cozy! read more

I brought my son into Smart Set Aesthetics today for his first facial. I sat in the room with him to make sure he was comfortable and to get a better vibe of the place. I was very pleased with the way Arabella explained the process to him. She was very gentle and constantly asked if the pressure was to his liking. Needless to say, he truly enjoyed the pampering and is looking forward to his next visit. Thank you Arabella! read more

I've been getting facials at Smart Set for two years, and I'll admit, I was a bit hesitant to commit to monthly treatments at first. But after a few sessions, I can definitely say it's been worth it. My skin looks and feels so much better. Kristine is great--she really understands what my skin needs and always makes me feel comfortable. I've also had facials with Sarah and Ann, and they're both wonderful as well. Each one brings something different to the experience. If you're looking to improve your skincare, I'd definitely recommend Smart Set! read more

Let me start off saying, this review is long overdue! I was never one to get facials, but always wanted to try the hydrofacial. I've read so many good reviews about it and decided to give it a try here. The reviews for Smart Set are already amazing so it was a no brainer to book here. When I walked in, the salon was super cute and very clean. I met with Sarah who did an analysis of my face and told me how my skin was looking and what treatments would be best. Let me tell you, my skin NEVER FELT AND LOOKED SO GOOD!!! Fast forward to 6 months later and I still come here with Sarah and get my monthly hydrofacial and I couldn't be happier. My skin is glowing, I hardly wear any makeup now, and I get a lot of compliments. Definitely a big confidence booster. If you're going to try the hydrofacial, it works great the first session, but I really noticed my skin changing after three. The prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly! Thank you Sarah for making me feel so confident in my own skin! read more

I LOVE my new brows! Sonya is so talented with what she does. It was minimum pain and she was quick, you can tell she knows what's she's doing! Getting a semi permanent "tattoo" on your face can be a bit nerve racking but Sonya made me feel comfortable! The environment was peaceful, clean and inviting! I have already referred a friend to her and plan on sending more to her as well!!! Thanks Sonya for my beautiful natural looking brows! Just what I was hoping for! read more

Every time I go back to this place it just gets more amazing! I've had my eyebrows microbladed, ive gotten permanent eyeliner and today I just got microneedling done. The price was so reasonable! They have happy hour deals! The quality is absolutely amazing! The atmosphere is so comfortable and everybody so friendly. I have some pretty significant scarring on my face and I've struggled with acne my whole life. I typically get chemical peels but I will never do that again unless I absolutely have to! This was a much more pleasant experience and I am told it's way better for your skin.This was the one place I never felt embarrassed and felt completely comfortable with talking about it and coming up with a plan for it. I'm so excited to go back and I cannot wait to see the end result! Thank you Sonya! read more

Where do I start? This gem is precisely that, a diamond of a salon! The decor is so chic and the perfect opportunity to capture that photo for The Gram if you're into that kind of thing. I have only had services by Cynthia (hairstylist) and Syrena (esthetician), but I've been there a lot and see the outcomes of other clients, and WOW- applause! Cynthia is always up for the challenge when I get into her chair. I change my hairstyle. Every. Single. Time. The outcomes: Perfection! Did I mention I drive from Orange County to see Cynthia? She's THAT good. Syrena has a passion for skincare! Book your appointment with her as soon as possible as her schedule fills up quickly! I've only done the hydrofacial treatments and am fascinated by the outcome after each treatment. Effect: new skin, who dis? No joke. I recommend following her Instagram account for skincare tips @skinbysyrena. read more

I went to smart set salon a year ago while living in La Jolla, based on the great reviews. As Sonya is very nice, I have resisted writing a bad review. However, if I had known what I know now, I would be precise in my directions, and not allow her to draw eyebrows for me based on some formula. The result was that she tattooed one of my eyebrows, above the natural one that had been previously tattooed, so now there are two lines. The only solution is to go and pay someone else to have the recent or old tattoo removed. So far, I have lived with it because of the expense and the fact that my glasses largely cover the area. read more

Emily is the best! I've been going to Emily for years! I've followed her everywhere she goes, and if definitely have to give her some praise! I used to believe that box dye would be better than a hairdresser would be with professional coloring and boy was I wrong! Emily has saved my hair at lease 2 to 3 times from box dye and just bad hair dressers in general. It doesn't matter how bad my hair is she's always happy to help me, and I really appreciate all the hours of work and dedication she's put in my hair over the years! Thank you Emily you're the best! I've added a photo from my past when I decided to go green! read more

I made a last-minute appointment with Sonya, and it was very nice of her to book me with such short notice! When I first walked in, I totally loved the vibe of the place and Sonya was very friendly and informative about the procedure and the aftercare. Procedure was basically painless! And approximately an hour later, I walked out with flawless, natural-looking eyebrows :) I'm so excited to have eyebrows again, Thank you, Sonya! It's also conveniently located in an area with lots of parking spaces, (opposed to being on a street) which was a plus. read more

I can't stress this enough: I am so blessed for everyone here at this salon. Sonya and the ladies of Smart Set have all been phenomenal at helping me prepare for my wedding. Sonya--a good family friend--helped me find someone to alter my wedding dress in a week's notice (I get married this Friday!!). I then vented to her about my hair and how I haven't dyed it yet but wanted to because of my grays and upcoming wedding. She set me up with the talented Cynthia Rodriguez! Cynthia dyed my hair, set me up with a haircare routine that I needed to get it back to health and is going to style my hair on my wedding day. Cynthia also scheduled me with one of their other ladies for my bridal makeup because I was stressing on that, too! I am so thankful that Sonya and the ladies of her salon are such caring and awesome people. They went above and beyond to make sure I'm not going to have to continue worrying on my wedding day. I felt alone at first but they seriously came through and I can't thank them enough!!! See everyone on Friday!!! read more

Thank you Cynthia for a great year. Highly recommend Cynthia, hair stylist, for cut and color!! Always does a great job, especially knowing how picky I am.. Never disappointed!! read more

Sonya is amazing!!!! I was a bit nervous but knew I really wanted to have microblading done. When I arrived I was greeted with a big smile and a warm greeting, immediately I felt more confident in my choice to do this. She had a fantastic eye for what I needed and wanted and the results show. Had my microblading and lash lift done and absolutely love it. Beautiful salon and easy to get to. Will definitely refer my friends and return for all my aesthetic needs. Thanks Smart Set!!! read more

I was referred to Sonya by a close friend of mine when we had a conversation about brows. After stalking Sonya's IG page for a few months I finally decided that I needed microblading in my life. I couldn't be happier with the process and results!! The first appointment started off with Sonya getting to know me and my makeup habits related to my brows, and her giving me her professional opinion of how they should be shaped for my face. She took a good amount of time perfecting the shape by taking precise measurements and making sure that I was comfortable with her recommendation. She made sure to apply numbing cream on and around my brows to minimize the pain before the actual microblading procedure. During the procedure she diligently asked if I was comfortable and explained everything thoroughly. After the procedure she gave me wonderful after care instructions, including a little bag that had after care cream and grape seed oil. She even went as far as texting me pictures that showed the healing process day by day to make sure that I understood what I should expect. My second session was 6 weeks after the initial procedure where she gave me the same professionalism and care. I have been extremely happy with my results and can't believe I waited so long to do microblading! Sonya is great, so nice and fun, it made the procedure so easy to do. If you are considering microblading please do yourself a favor and give Sonya a call!! read more

I wanted micro blading because I have eyebrows with gaps and I wanted my brows to look even and perfect. I wanted to just wake up and not worry about my eyebrows. Sonya knows what she is doing ! Every time I'm out and about people comment on my eyebrows saying they love the way I do them ! I literally get complimented everywhere I go. The pain for me was about a 3 out of 10 and that was only when she was getting towards the end. I didn't even know she started! When people try to justify the price I say it is well worth the money because you'll have natural looking brows that you won't have to spend hours doing. Very clean office and very very nice service. I will be coming back for a touch up in 6 weeks time! Sonya is honestly the best! read more

Smart Set Aesthetics - God I love my brows !! Thank you Sonya !!! - Makeup Artists Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I was referred to Sonya by one of my best friends Kristina, and let me say that this was the best investment in myself ever! My eyebrows are on fleeeeek!!!! (Will post pictures after my eyebrows have healed) I booked about a month in advance for a brow party for 3 of people. And the 3 of us were very happy with the results! It was painless (she has some bomb numbing cream) Sonya is the best! When it comes having a permanent TATTOO on my face I would only go to the best. And she is definitely is! read more

This was the worst experience I've ever had! I had great brows and trusted her since she charges $550. I wanted to outline my brows and make it easier but instead I feel ripped off and sad. I clearly told her NOT TO MAKE THEM THINNER . Who wants thin eyebrows?? It defeats the purpose. Here is a pic I took a day before and 3 days after. I even tried to cancel 26 hours before and she wouldn't without charging me $50. I knew I has good brows and the procedure was prob not for me. She was pushy and unprofessional. I don't want anyone else to get ripped off by her. read more

Thank you to the incredibly talented Sonya at Smart Set Aesthetics for your amazing work! It's been a dream come true waking up every morning with brows on fleek! You're the best doll and I can't thank you enough! You have truly changed my life and I'm forever grateful. read more
