NEW ADDRESS: 111 Avenida Del Mar (by Billie's Meats - upstairs) Kristina Malek is the owner and esthetician and she is truly amazing. If you want to treat yourself or someone that you really love and care about, this is the answer. I did an hour facial and did not want it to end..she literally must have more that ten fingers!!! Her studio is lovely Zen decor with candle light, fresh flowers, lovely aromas and a beautiful warm treatment area. This is a little piece of Heaven in our little sleepy town...please go see Kristina, enjoy and you can write your own rave review! PS the arm, back, shoulder massage is part of this "facial"...WOW! Also included was a brow and nose wax. Need I say more? read more

Hands down the most amazing facial experience I have ever had! I cannot wait to go back (I had to schedule my next appointment before even leaving, she books up quick and for good reason!) I did the 1 hour facial with microdermabrasion. The entire experience was mesmerizing. She makes you just melt into her hands. After, Kristina was able to help me pick a new skincare routine. She uses high quality, yet completely affordable products by Eminence Organic Skin Care from Hungary. Did I mention, every product is leaves your skin feeling yummy and luxurious. And smells amazing !! I absolutely loved everything about my visit. 5 stars! read more

I love going to Studio K for my monthly facials! It's very quaint and peaceful!! I leave there with such beautiful skin. read more

1/25/2019 Best facial I have ever had. Just the right amount of information and quiet time. Amazing massage, my face was aglow after the Collagen Treatment, and 24 hours later still feels plump and full of moisture. I was in a trance-like state of euphoria during the massage (I hope I didn't snore!!) Her salon is lovely, peaceful, charming and serene, I didn't want to leave. Melissa B mentioned 'healer' and she is spot on. Kristina gave me information about treatment for my auto-immune disease that I have never heard from anyone before. and it is something I am definitely going to look into. Makes me wish I still lived in San Clemente. I'll be back next January, can't wait. read more

I had the best facial at Studio K with Kristina Malek. I have had facials all over the world - Bahamas, Hawaii, Mexico and Kristina give the best facials I have ever had. The only regret you will have is not booking sooner. Book with Kristina today!!! read more

I refer Kristina to everyone! Every experience has been fabulous, she has a natural gift of nurture, healing touch, relaxation and of course knowledge and talent. She is truly amazing. Facials are my personal favorite however she has a plethora of options that are customizable for each client. The products she uses are great quality, sourced with care and she shares nothing but the best on your skin. read more

Kristina is one of the best ,knowledgeable, dedicated esthetician with an high expertise in skin care! Her many natural products make your skin look radiant, youthful for weeks. The studio is neat, cozy with her signature of detailed decoration inside and outside. During the wonderful services she provided , not only she did give me the best ever facial- with ample explanation of various types of treatments and natural products she uses, but Kristina gave me a much-needed relaxing arms and feet massage that made me feel in heaven! Her hands are magic! I'll look forward to my next facial with Kristina ! read more

Kristina is the absolute best. My brows have never looked better, I didn't know their true potential until I met her. She is incredibly gentle and caring, and creates an amazing atmosphere in her studio. I go to her regularly for waxing and eyebrow/lash tinting, but recently went for my first facial and my skin feels and looks amazing. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Kristina is the best at what she does. Can't wait to go back for another wonderful and relaxing facial. I even slept better last night because I was so relaxed. :) read more

I highly recommend Kristina at Studio K Skincare. From the moment you walk into her Zen-like studio, you instantly feel relaxed and pampered. I love her organic facials because she uses natural products and my skin feels fantastic and glowing. She tailors the facial to your skin, including dermplaning, and she gives a wonderful hand/neck massage. You can tell she loves what she does and she really cares about providing the best service to her clients. Thank you, Kristina! read more

Absolutely the BEST FACIAL you will ever experience! I wish I could go everyday!!! Kristina hands are magical, she takes me to another place every time I go, been seeing her years. read more

Kristina is amazing. Very professional and down to earth, easy to talk to and always provides an excellent service. I'll never go anywhere else for sugaring or waxing needs! Last Mother's Day I gifted my mom a facial by Kristina and she loved it. Can't go wrong. Thanks Studio K! read more

Kristina came highly recommended so I was expecting a wonderful experience, which I got hands down. Speaking of hands, hers are exceptional, soft when needed, strong when needed. It's all in the hands and hers are special. She is also very knowledgeable with a lovely and friendly way about her. The skin care packages she offers are very versatile with something for everyone. I'm anxious to try something new for my next visit! Thank you Kristina!!! read more

I have been seeing Kristina for years now and she is incredible. I get Custom Organic Facials from her (with an emphasis on the custom), and she is so awesome about tailoring the service and including perks most places would tack on lots of extra bucks for. As I mentioned in a review for her previous spot, 5 Elements, the massage that comes in conjunction with her facials is better than massages I've spent beaucoup bucks on at spas for. At the risk of going overboard here, Kristina falls more in the "healer" category for me. She's really knowledgeable about all sorts of things and I can totally relax, unwind and still get a seriously legit facial at the same time. Love her! read more

I love my time with Kristina. Not only do I enjoy the services she provides, but I enjoy our conversations. I feel like I've been to church after talking with her. She is such a considerate and professional woman. read more
