SPELA!!!! My skin goddess!!! Where have you been all my life? Seriously people, she is AHH-MAZING. I've always just washed my face, toned, moisturized and thought I was good. I wore my SPF every day like I was supposed to. My skin is always red and inflamed and I chalked it up to.. that's just skin I have. Super sensitive too. The first appointment I had with her she could see right away that my skin was sincerely F'd up.. she was so gentle and only did what she could do. She set me up on a regimen.. and I'm always skeptical, like sure this cream or serum is going to change my life..but let me tell you... I listened to her and followed what she said. I could feel the difference. She gave me strict instructions about what to do and what not to do. 4 weeks later I came back for a facial and was blown away by my before and after pictures. Spela I am forever yours. Oh and did I mention she is so fun and sweet. So knowledgeable about skin. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment with her read more

I am so thankful I found Rachel at Spalina! I just turned 40 and I wanted to start taking better care of my skin.. I saw they had an Instagram and love getting tips on how to best care for my aging skin. I decided to come in and I loved everything about my facial! I've had facials at other places but this was definitely above and beyond what I was expecting. Right off the bat, the spa bed was soo soft and comfortable. Rachel was my esthetician and she gave me such a relaxing facial. Rachel used a sound machine on my face that gave the same feeling I get from meditation and a sound bath. My skin was more smooth and my complexion was more even by the time I had left. One time and I already had a noticeable difference in my skin. I can't wait to take it to the next level by continuing with the products for home care. I already scheduled my next appointment with Rachel & can't wait to come back! read more

I got a facial from Rachel last week and it was amazing! I can neither confirm or deny if this tired mama fell asleep for part of it - that's how relaxing it was. My home skincare routine is the least of my priorities, and it shows. Spela and Rachel educated me on my skin conditions, and causes. I left there with my skin feeling and looking nourished, hydrated and clear. I purchased one of the cleansers and I love it! Can't wait to purchase more products in the future. I highly recommend Rachel as your esthetician! read more

Spela is not only very knowledgeable in the skin care industry, she's extremely professional very neat and sanitary which is key for me when looking for a Esthetician. I've been seeing Spela for 6 months now and the result are incredible. I have serve cystic acne. I've had it happen twice in my teens and come back a 3rd time in my mid 20's. After consistent treatments of about 1-2 facials a month my skin finally has a smooth feel and glow. I'm now working on getting rid of the acne scars, which Spela has done a great job with. After every facial my scars are noticeable lighter and looks better every time. She's honest and knows what works, she also really listens, hears my concerns and request for my skin. Currently I'm seeing her for oxygen facials. I notice even when I have a acne flare up, my pimples are instantly reduced and my skin feels so smooth & has a glow! Her spa has a very upscale feel, almost looks like something out of a magazine! I defiantly trust her with my skin! read more

After moving to the OC from Los Angeles, I've been searching for an esthetician for monthly maintenance. I came across Spela on yelp and I'm so happy I did! As an esthetician myself it's difficult to find a professional with the full package. Experience, touch and knowledge for the best results. The moment I met Spela, there was a great connection (which in our world is also important). Her studio is so beautifully decorated, clean and relaxing. We discussed my concerns and she designed a treatment to target the best results. I had one of the best double cleanses, and facial massage ever. The treatment included stem cell mask, light exfoliation and oxygen infusion. In the end my face was glowing with brightness and felt smooth and tight. One of the best facials I've had in many years. And now she will be my only go to. Spela has different facial options for every concern and if you don't see one you need, she will customize one for you. She is slightly on the high end but she makes every penny spent worth it. Your face and body will thank you for it. Wellness is always an investment. read more

Since I have been going to Spela once a month, following her routine for my face, I couldn't be more happy. I struggle with adult acne. When I came in to see her 4 months ago, my skin was thin, tired, red to the touch and dull. I can't even believe how quickly she turned that around. I love all of her products too. She is also very sweet an encouraging with a beautiful facility. She is always on time and takes very good care of you. read more

I love coming to Spela Skin care. This time around I had the pleasure of having Ines work on my skin and it was amazing, she puts pressure on your face when she massages you (I loved that).

Had an amazing experience with Ines Lobos! Her hands are so light and I LOVED the treatment! I went for a Microdermabrasion, microcurrent, and oxogen! My skin never felt so good!

I definitely recommend this place if you want some real skin care or just a relaxing spa day! read more

I recently moved to Laguna Woods from Pasadena. One of the most difficult parts of any move for me is finding docs, hair stylists and an esthetician. I adored my Pasadena esthetician and knew it would be difficult, if not impossible, to find a replacement. I'm overjoyed to report that Spela fits the bill. She's wonderful at what she does. I had a facial yesterday and my skin feels as soft as a newborn. Without revealing my exact age, I'm newly retired. I'm thrilled to have Spela as part of my new life read more
