    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!

    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!

    If you are looking to change your attitude by way of hair make an appointment with Cynthia! Her Instagram totally pulled me in! Check it out at @sindoeshair you can check out a portfolio of her amazing work. I was looking around San Diego for years to find someone who I could connect with! I change my hairstyle like the wind so I needed somebody who had some personality and understanding! Cynthia truely has a passion for color and style. I originally came to her with a deep red burgundy color and a pixie cut and I wanted to go back blonde and long! With her amazing guidance I am where I want to be and had fun along the way! The salon itself is in an awesome part of Barrio Logan, very hip with plenty of self care options to get your hands on. Do yourself a favor and check them out! I attached my process from red to blonde with Sins magic!

    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!

    Here is a picture of my brow. What looks like a blister, ismy natural eyebrow, previously tattooed.

    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.

    With my beautiful MUA and hairstylist, Erin!

    My gorgeous MUA ERIN glammed me up and beatted my face to perfection! I showed her my Pinterest lewk just one time and she nailed the classic curls, cat eye and red lips. She's the best- super accommodating, patient, and soooooo sweet :)

    Update on my recent visit: I had a facial and Gaby gave me a whole different nose. I dont know why…read morei have not done it earlier. I tried her Le Mieux skin care products for about a month now. The TGF booster and retinol was a game changer. She has such knowledge and curiousity in knowing the products and the science to it that you know you are consulting from someone who knows "skin" very well. Her goal aligns from my goal, which is having to use less make up in the end because you dont need to cover up what you already have: beautiful glowing skin. I went back to try out more products from Le Miuex and had another Brazilian and underarm waxing and felt well taken care of. She just makes it easy breezy and the whole experience of having such a good experience made me feel my time and money was well spent. I am pretty much a repeat customer now and I am so glad her spa is just 5 minutes away from my house. I dont usually do reviews unless i felt it is deserving and i wrote a review on her twice!

    I had to write another review for Gabriela, this time on her amazing skills with permanent makeup…read more Yes, she does it all. I did my lip blush tattoo with her and my lips already have a soft pink tint to them! (I am going to post my healed color 6 weeks post touchup). She is a master craftsman (craftswoman ) because she makes sure that her work is as impeccable as possible. She takes the time needed to make sure it's done right...and it sure is. She's also just the best at making you feel as comfortable as can be through the process. My mom also got her brows done with her and they are pretty!!!!! Before and after pics below. Of course I'm getting my brows done with her soon! No question!

Ladydiana was AMAZING - she responded the same day that I reached out (via text) and provided a health screening to ensure that I would be a good candidate for my in-person consultation and appointment. I originally had planned to do them a few months after my initial contact, but she had an opening so I was able to get in within a month of my first message! Her studio was super cute, and the numbing cream made it pretty much painless. She does have to do at least one pass over your brows WITHOUT the cream, but it's well worth the beautiful brows you'll get after. Bottom Line - The. Brows. Are. Worth. It. It has been almost 3 years and I am barely just starting to think about returning for a touch-up later this year, because the inner eye areas are starting to fade (and I mean.. barely!!). With my current brows, I can probably wait another year and a half before going back and just touch up with a pencil when I want a more full brow.

To start off, she is easy to talk to and if you have questions and are uncertain about anything, she explains them to the smallest detail. And of course, she respects what you ask for while being open about telling you what she thinks is also best for you and your features. Don't be afraid to tell her if something looks off and she will do her part and correct it while you're there. She will communicate it all with you as well if she thinks something will work better for you and ask for your opinion before starting anything, this way you both leave happy. Her studio is clean and she also has good practices to keep her work area clean, especially her hands. She has a light touch as well, making the process comfortable. The price is reasonable and even if it were within the typical cost, it is worth getting your brows with Monica. I would recommend Monica's studio to anyone who is looking to have their brows done!

    HORRIBLE SERVICE! Be careful all as I would not wish this on anyone. I went in to see Vera back in…read moreMarch of 2024 and requested a touchup on my eyebrows and lips. Her price at the time was $300 for each service. A total of $600. Of what I know she performs her services in Chula Vista California and in Sparks Nevada. While performing the services she mentioned how her machine broke, and she was using one of which she does not normally use but she was expecting the other machine any minute as she had her husband overnight it to her in Sparks where I was getting my services done. While performing my services she ran out of the room to go out front and get her delivery of her machine. She came back to finish me up. When done I noticed that my eyebrows were NOT symmetrical which I made her aware and she mentioned to give it a few days. Till this day my eyebrows NEVER got better and she refused to refund me.
