I went to Carrie at Spa Epíl for the first time and I was blown away by my experience. She is amazing at what she does and I am glad I have started my electrolysis treatment journey with her. She educates you about the process, hair structure anatomy, and what to expect along the way. I was extremely worried about the pain level and it was very tolerable. She also is also a great conversation starter. Her treatment room is very cozy and clean with music playing to keep you relaxed. She also provided aftercare to take home and instructions which was awesome. Thanks so much!!! read more

I'm glad I found this business on Yelp, Carrie the business owner is very experienced and a great electrologist. She has a lovely studio, welcoming and comfortable with nice lighting (I notice these details). More importantly, she does great work and is a really nice person. I appreciate that I can select different length sessions, depending on how much I want done at the time. And this service has permanent results, which is very satisfying and worth the money. She also provides after care products at no extra charge. I highly recommend Spa Epil and Carrie for electrolysis. read more

Spa Épil - The salon is inside Phenix suites - Hair Removal Near Me - Temecula, California

Being half Lebanese, unwanted facial and throat hair has always been a huge concern and source of embarrassment for me. It had been present in my mind when sitting in the dentist chair or spending time in bright sunlight, realizing I had neglected "to pluck." That being said, Carrie's services have been life changing. She is skilled, knowledgeable, reasonably priced and flexible. The fact that it's always fun to see her has made it easy to continue with my commitment to get rid of this hair FOR GOOD! (I used to worry that I would end up a bearded lady in a nursing home and no way to deal with it.) I highly recommend Carrie's services. She is so professional and her salon is delightful and immaculate. If any of this rings true for you, call her! You'll be so glad you did. read more

Carrie always provides a great service! She's meticulous and thorough and her space is relaxing and very well kept. Not to mention I always enjoy the results. If you're looking for a place to go for your hair removal service. I highly recommend Spa Epil. read more

Carrie is great! She began my appointment right on time, was friendly, and made getting electrolysis a breeze. It is $75 per hour. Tips: -"spa Epil" is actually inside the building called "couture salon studios", so look for that when parking -schedule the free 15 minute consultation before your appointment, because it'll take 15 minutes to fill out the paperwork and allow her to explain how electrolysis works -the phone number on spa epil's website is actually her cell, so you can text it to schedule appointments -she accepts cash, debit, or Visa credit cards read more

I have been seeing Carrie consistently for a year for facial hair removal on my lip and chin. Carrie is a master at her craft. Her experience and expertise greatly shows with how she treats her clients. She is very upfront about the hair removal process. There is no specific timeline as everybody is different from your hormones, to the type of hair, number of treatments, etc. Electrolysis is an investment that will require time and patience. I attribute the success of my hair removal process on the expertise of Carrie and also my consistency and patience. Spa Epil is clean and safe. The pandemic was a great time for me to start the hair removal process due to the fact that I was able to wear a mask in between sessions to help cover up my face. I naturally have sensitive skin. After an electrolysis session, the areas that are worked on are inflamed (and this is normal). I take care of my skin as instructed by Carrie and the inflammation wears down after a few hours. In the following days after electrolysis, your skin may scab over (do not pick the scabs). The scabs disappear after a few days. It is also important to always use sunscreen as your skin is very delicate. When I first started going to Carrie my facial hair was very thick and coarse and I would do 1 hour sessions every 10-15 days. As time progressed, my sessions became more spaced out and my time went down to 45 min, then down to 30 min and now I am down to 15 minutes every 4-6 weeks! I have nearly no hair left, it is amazing! I feel comfortable in my own skin and feel so free walking out the house with no makeup! My skin has healed beautifully! I have ZERO scaring due to following Carrie's instructions and doing a consistent job of taking care of my skin post-treatments. Electrolysis has been the best investment! read more

This is the first time in 20 years that I've woken up without feeling any hair on my face. I'm used to shaving in the morning and feeling stubble by the afternoon. Today, I'm so happy I could cry. I've had 4 sessions so far (i think...maybe 3), and I'm so very pleased with the results. Electrolysis is the real deal. It is the ONLY permanent hair removal method. I've spent thousands on laser hair removal that didn't work and was actually more painful than electrolysis. I'm not sure why I didn't do this years ago. Carrie is extremely patient and determined. She finds as much joy in getting rid of your hair as you do. She's thorough in explaining the process and she's super sweet with giving different oils and balms that may help you with your specific recovery. I thank God for Spa Epil. It really has changed my life. read more

As a child of the '70s, I had very sparse eyebrows due to overtweezing. For years, I tried to grow them back. I have known Carrie for over 10 years, first as my make-up consultant, then as the artist who applied my custom lashes, so I can attest to her skill as an artist. But, it wasn't until about two months ago, when I tried Billion Dollar Brows, that I learned of her technical skill...because Billion Dollar Brows is a technical process involving numerous facial measurements to give you the brows you were born to have...only better. Beyond that, I won't spoil the mystery! I had it done approximately two months ago and have been using the re-growth product for over a month now. It's an on-going procedure, but I do see eyebrows where I've had none since my 20's! As someone else said, call her; you won't regret it! read more

Love my lashes!! I have been to 3 other Beauty Bars, but none of them have done my lashes like Carrie does. She is great. My lashes are feminine and glamourous. I get soooo many compliments when Carrie does my lashes. I can't think of going to any one else again. read more

Carrie is great! I have seen her 4 times over the past couple of months to tackle my crazy unibrow with electrolysis and I think I only need one last 15 or 30 minute session to finish the area and never have to pluck again! My first 3 sessions were each 60 minutes long, and the last one was 45 minutes long. With each session, less and less hair grew back, and the hair that did grow back was thinner. Carrie has a nice setup with a comfortable table to lay on, and it's nice that she always seems to be in a pleasant mood and willing to answer any questions or address problem areas. I also really like that she is available by text as well as by phone, which makes rescheduling or confirming appointments really easy. I actually first visited Carrie at her older location because of a groupon sort of thing, but liked her services so much that I've continued seeing her at full price for the remaining sessions and even drive from Riverside to her because I trust her with my face! Carrie's done such a good job that I will no longer need to see her after my next session - it's kind of sad that she does such a good job that she makes herself no longer needed! So I'm trying to recommend her to others as much as possible - go to Carrie! Some warnings and tips for first-timers w/ electrolysis (sorry, sort of long, but I wish that I'd been able to read up on some of this before my first time!): There is definitely some redness and swelling for the first day or two (at least there was for me), but Carrie provides some nice cleanser and cream to help with this and can sell you more if you run out. The creams have lasted me through all the sessions, but I did buy some more of the cleanser from her (at a reasonable price) and have been glad that I did. Icing the area a couple times per day for the first two days after each session helped me quite a bit with the redness, and I also found that taking some ibuprofen an hour before the appointment eased the discomfort and swelling. Keep in mind though, that I was having her work on lots of hairs in a really concentrated area (the space between my brows), so if you are doing something less concentrated like chin hairs or something, you probably will not have so much redness, swelling, etc. as I did. But it's really not that bad at all - the process was not nearly as painful as I had expected it to be and I was able to handle the 60 minute sessions without any significant discomfort. Carrie does a great job being careful and as gentle as possible and carries a nice conversation through the session, which is a helpful distraction. Also, one last thing, you will have to have several sessions for permanent hair loss (Carrie can explain all this) with around 2 to 3 weeks in between sessions - but then the hair loss is permanent! Amazing! read more

I am so happy to have found Carrie!! I have been seeing her off and on since the beginning of this year. I have developed some major hormonal imbalances that among other things has created a haven for unwanted whiskers on my chin. I mean seriously, if I would have continued to cultivate them I could have had a decent career as a bearded lady!! I would spend nearly 45 minutes each day plucking so that no-one would know my secret. I had a pair of tweezers at home, in my purse, in my suitcase and at my desk at work just in case I would feel something, I really became obsessive about it. Nothing else in my life has ever made me feel like less of a lady. In the past, I have had series of laser treatments, where I saw a very temporary and very minimal reduction in hair growth - it was very expensive and very frustrating considering the results. Fast forward to Carrie - with each appointment, I see less and less hair return, and the hair that does come back is finer and has less pigment. Carrie and I still have some work to do, but I recently had surgery and I felt compelled to pluck my chin clean before going in (don't tell Carrie!!), it only took me about 10 minutes to clear the area. But what I was really happy to see, was that it took almost two weeks before anything grew back, and about three weeks before anything became real coarse - that would have never happened before starting electrolysis! Having had both treatments, I would have to say that I prefer electrolysis. The best thing about it is, that once the hair is finally gone, it will be gone forever. And from a pain perspective, I have been told by many that I have a high pain tolerance. When I had laser they used to turn the laser machines up all the way and I would fell the snap on my face with each pulse, which would not bother me, but my teeth would zing! With the electrolysis I really don't feel much more than a tingle unless she finds a stray hair on my upper lip, right under my nose - then my eyes water. Both procedures create some pretty good swelling and redness that will last about one to three days before it goes down - I've noticed it takes less time when I am eating healthy and am hydrated - so make sure you drink your water before a visit!! I brought a friend in with me to see Carrie, who had some minor concerns. After three short treatments she was done and has not had anything return; needless to say she is a happy camper. So it really depends on the severity and concentration of growth in the area that will determine how many treatments will be needed, everyone is different. If you are on the fence as to whether you should give Carrie a try or not, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has a wonderful and caring demeanor, and her studio is decorated beautifully, is immaculate and totally relaxing. Oh, and it is worth mentioning that I drive nearly an hour one way just to see her, and it is totally worth it! read more

Carrie is awesome, she's so nice and really knows what she is doing. I've gone to her for eyelash tinting and electrolysis on my eyebrows so far. My lashes always look amazing and her shaping skills with brows was exceptional! I was comfortable from the get-go, she's knowledgable and so accommodating. I love that I can book online. read more

Had my first session today with Carrie for Electrolysis. Whiskers on chin due to hormones like that other review. I thought it felt good. Can't wait to go back :) read more

Carrie is absolutely the BEST at all she does. Not only is her work amazing, but she has a gentle touch and makes you feel completely comfortable while she is working on you. I had her do custom eyelashes and they were stunning. They are comfortable to wear, low maintenance, and everybody thought they were my own. They lasted about 6 weeks and I couldn't even feel them on my eyes. I had had others done before, but I could always feel them and they didn't look near as good, or last near as long as these. Call her up! You won't regret it. read more

Went today for first electrolysis appointment ever, and had a great experience. Carrie was running on time, and was very welcoming (which was important since I traveled almost an hour for my visit). I had a lot of anxiety associated with the anticipation of this procedure, but Carrie provides such a comforting environment (dimly lit, light music, well decorated, private space). We were there for an hour, and she totally focused on my comfort and personal tastes. She actually went a little over our scheduled time. I really can't wait to go back, and saw results IMMEDIATELY. I highly recommend this over laser hair removal or any other method, if you want permanent results. Also this was totally worth the drive. read more
