I have been going to Soothe Studio for YEARS. Why do I come back? I love the tailored facials, the natural ingredients, and the professional knowledge of both Sally and Minette. They genuinely want to know more about your skin so they can gently revitalize it to its shining glory. I have combination sensitive skin with rosacea and normally a puffy complexion. The facials come with gua sha session, I can't believe how good I feel after every treatment. If you are looking for a change from your spa, I highly recommend Soothe Studio such a calming and relaxing studio to go to. read more

I have been going to Sally for facials for many years and cannot recommend her enough. Not only has she created an intimate, warm, and beautiful space, but her facials are the best I have ever received. She understands each person's skin, designs lovely, natural products, gives amazing facial, neck and shoulder massages during the mask phase, and never leaves any blemishes after extractions. My skin glows after each treatment. Plus she is very friendly and professional. Claudia, the massage therapist, is also excellent. I cannot recommend this studio enough! read more

Loved my experience with Sally. She really takes care of you. My favorite part were the smells - everything she concocted smelled delightful. read more

SO nice!! I loved that they have a questionnaire about preferences to fill out before you start. They were able to accommodate my fragrance allergy which I really appreciated. Sabrina is so skilled, and easy to talk to. I will 100% be back! read more

I absolutely LOVE getting facials here. Sally is incredible. She provides really personalized care based on your skin and can recommend some great products if you are open to it. She really listens to your concerns and explains what the process will be like. I have been struggling with acne and Sally has really helped, even answering some of my questions weeks after the facial is over. The studio itself is relaxing and very clean. Highly recommend Studio Soothe!! read more

I came by today for my first facial ever! I't's been something I've wanted to do for a while now and finally bit the bullet. It's on my bucket list item before I turn 30. The world of skincare can feel so daunting but I felt safe in Sally's hands. She is super professional and walked me through what the experience would be like. She explained the procedure in detail and didn't dumb down the ingredients or science which I appreciate as a lab scientist. I want to know the deets. Also make sure to come a bit early if it's your first time because there is a form to fill out that includes info about your skin, skincare, and derm visits. I wrote what I thought were my skin issues but during the facial Sally went over some things she was noticing that I hadn't thought of. Each facial is catered towards individual needs so it is personalized! Isn't that awesome? She will apply a series of products and prep the skin, do extractions, and might use the o2 machine if needed. She also spends time massaging your neck shoulder and arms. It's a relaxing experience but also beneficial to your face. Sally went over the products I was using and suggested some she thought might be better. I found this to be helpful because I feel so lost in the world of skincare, I'm not an expert and she clearly is! I did not feel pressured to buy anything but after all that work I would prefer to not have wasted efforts so I opted in. The space is in a convenient location in the panhandle. The inside has a lot of coop lights and an assortment of skincare products in the front. The setup for the facial was cozy and I wasn't cold at all. I recommend giving it a try. read more

I had back surgery last year and I was still dealing with muscle pain and tightness. There are not enough superlatives to describe the work Claudia Hanson does. After two massages from Claudia, who worked on the scar tissue from the surgery was a game changer. The spa is cute, women owned and all who work there are simply amazing. read more

I'm so grateful that Studio Soothe exists in SF! I've been there quite a few times for upper body stiffness, and they have been so kind, professional and helpful. I can't say enough good things about them. Today, I had a deep tissue massage with Sabrina, who is absolutely amazing! It was the best massage I've ever had. She's the real deal. So skilled and talented. I came in with intense upper body soreness, and through her magic, I left feeling relaxed and extremely less sore. :) read more

This place is great Ellie was very helpful in tending to some issues that I had Would definitely recommend read more

Studio Soothe - Massage Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've been searching for awhile and have now found my new favorite facial in SF! Minette was absolutely awesome, immediately likeable and put me at ease. She is very knowledgeable, non-judgmental, and has magic hands! As soon as she touched my face I knew it was going to be amazing. I have been looking for a relaxing, massage-focused facial without extractions (though she does offer them if you want) and that is exactly what I got, it was wonderful! The studio space is chic, modern and welcoming. Nothing but gold stars, I'll definitely be back! read more

I received a gift certificate from my wife for a message. I made an appointment with Ellie. The studio was very clean and comfortable. Ellie greeted me with a warm welcome. She asked me a few questions about myself and what I was looking for in the message. She met all my needs. She was very professional and gave a great message. Will make another appointment next month for another message. I'm an older woman 61 and fairly active. This is a great treat for myself once a month. Do yourself a favor and check out Studio Soothe. read more

I visit studio soothe nearly every month to see my girl Sally! I get my brows and lip waxed, plus facials every so often. She does an incredible job and is so knowledgeable on all things skin. She's the genius behind my glowing healthy skin, by recommending me amazing products. 10/10 would recommend - go see Sally!! read more

I wish I could give Studio Soothe 6 stars! The studio - small but VERY cute and smells amazing. They have a fantastic collection of products in their shop as well. Staff- The woman who checked me in was kind and very prompt. Then I had Minette as my facialist! She was super personable and did a great job examining my skin without pushing products, etc. Service - OMG MY SKIN IS GLOWING! It was the perfect combo of massage, mask, extractions, and relaxation. The products they use are strong but not irritating at all but the facial massage was NEXT LEVEL. My cheekbones are an inch higher today I swear. Can't wait to come back and see them again. Thank you Studio Soothe! read more

BEST MASSAGE! I went in last week and when I tell you Ellie is amazing, I mean it! I've been working out pretty hard lately, and my body has been so sore, plus I sit at a desk all day - so when Ellie heard all of that, she definitely made sure to pay attention to the areas that were the most tense! I HIGHLY recommend her! Plus this was affordable compared to other places that don't really address your needs! Will be back! read more

Studio Soothe is the best! I went to Sally, and she was so knowledgeable about skincare and acne treatments. Has helped me so much with treatment my acne and gave me tips for at-home treatment. So kind and sweet too! Highly recommend! read more

So happy I found studio soothe through my esthi school classmate Sus. I have been struggling with acne for a couple of months now, booked an appointment for Acne treatment with Sally. First of all the studio's aesthetics and feel is so relaxing, i love the interior! The rooms are not only well kept but it also gives of this relaxing spa vibe, bed was also so comfortable! I dont usually pay much attention to these things but with studio soothe it just stood out! Sally talked me through the treatment she'll do for my visit, the treatment was amazing she took time to study my skin and it's needs. She did not rush, we even went over time. Then she recommended and suggested some products for my skincare routine, oh most of the products her studio carries are nature based she even has her own line. I have found my person. Thanks Sally and Sus, ive never been this excited for acne treatments lol read more

Studio Soothe might be the best kept secret in San Francisco. Minette listened to my concerns about my skin, did a full assessment, performed my facial, and recommended incredible products and a new skincare regimen. It has been 4 days since my facial and I've already seen the most drastic improvements. Before seeing Minette, I was at a total loss. I can't wait to come back for my next facial. Go to Studio Soothe, you will not be disappointed. read more

Absolutely incredible! I got a Gua Sha facial from Minette. Her touch is so relaxing and trance inducing. The natural products she massaged into my skin with her magical stones smelled of aromatherapy and healing goodness. I don't know if I fell asleep but I was in and out of deep hypnosis. I wanted the focus to be on softening my fine lines and aging skin... and wow! My skin looks and feels incredible. Minette was so kind and addressed my skin concerns by teaching me how to use the stones, what products best suited for my needs and encouraging me taking in more water. What a wonderful facial! I'll definitely be back! This facial is a must and Minette is a skin guru goddess! I've also had a massage here with both therapists and they were equally fantastic. This studio is loaded with talented and caring female energy read more

An extremely overdue 5 star review for the most well deserving business & business owner...Sally @ Studio Soothe! I started seeing Sally in February 2016 as I was getting ready for my wedding. Rather than doing a one off appointment right before the wedding, I decided to see Sally every 6 weeks until the wedding, and she did wonders for my skin. My skin was glowing for the big day, and I felt confident! Tip: If you are considering getting a facial before your wedding or any other big occasion, I would highly recommend going a few times. Sally spent time learning about my skin and there were no surprise reactions right before the big day. After the wedding and up until the pandemic, I continued to see Sally every other month and loved how clean and healthy my skin felt. Each appointment is incredibly relaxing. Unlike other facials I have gone to where it felt like I was getting a glorified face mask, Sally is an expert at exfoliation and extractions. Since Sally has reopened, she has taken all Covid precautions. The space feels incredibly safe and clean. Once she reopened, I was desperate to see her because postpartum hormones had me breaking out more than usual. After one visit, my skin was looking so much better. She recommended a couple products that help me maintain the improvement until my next visit. Sally is a joy to see and amazing at what she does. If you are looking for an aesthetician or want to start investing in your skin, there is no one else I would recommend. Thanks for everything, Sally! read more

When I arrived, Sally was super welcoming as I filled out a questionnaire about my skin and also answered some COVID-related questions. Then we went into a smaller room in the back where I got my facial. Sally thoroughly went through the answers I put on the questionnaire, and she was so knowledgeable about the acne medications I am currently on. She knew more than my dermatologist, it seemed! I gained a lot of information and feel better about how to move forward with my skin. We chatted a bit throughout the facial, and Sally gave me gentle warnings when something would be warm, cold, etc. Overall it was a really lovely, relaxing experience and I am definitely going to be booking another facial in the future. read more

I've been regularly getting facials and massages at Studio Soothe for almost three years. I just cannot get enough of that place! I've been seeing Minette for my facials - she is a skin rockstar. Her hands create magic on your face and her neck massages will send you to another planet! She is so knowledgeable and we always have fun talking about new skincare products. For massages, I see Ellie - she is so kind and calming to be around which is exactly what you want when you're trying to zen out! Take care of your body and skin and do yourself a favor and check out Studio Soothe. Thanks Ellie and Minette! read more

Studio Soothe has been my favorite place to get a massage since I discovered them 5 years ago. Every massage, no matter who is giving it, is absolutely fantastic. When I found that they were taking appointments again, I jumped at the chance to get a massage. I'll start by saying that Studio Soothe took all the COVID related precautions necessary to make me feel safe. It started with a temperature check when I arrived, questionnaire about my symptoms and exposure history, and then when inside the massage room, I was asked to wear a mask while the massage was being performed (along with the masseuse). All the while the massage was happening, a fan was circulating the air around. This time, my masseuse was Buffie. In her expert hands, all the stress that had accumulated over the last 6 months seemed to melt away like butter in the 90 mins I was on the table. I have always appreciated that massages at Studio Soothe are at the same time restorative, relaxing, and corrective. I love deep massages, and Buffie was able to get all my crazy knots out while still being gentle. I am grateful that I was able to escape for just a little bit and leave feeling completely restored. The massage was just what I needed and can't wait to go again. Thank you Studio Soothe!! read more

I came here a few months ago and didn't enjoy my facial, but it was my first one so I didn't know what to expect. After visiting a different spa to get a facial today, I now have a basis for comparison and insight into why I didn't like my experience here. 1. During extractions, the esthetician only did half the job. She said she'd do the other half "next time I came back". I thought this was weird, but assumed at the time this was because my skin was difficult to extract. Not so, as my esthetician today did them all with no problem 2. My esthetician here told me "you have great skin, so you should probably come back once every 3-4 weeks". I have now been told that standard is 6-8 weeks. I can't even begin to imagine how rich you'd have to be if you didn't have great skin 3. Constant product pushing: every single step came with a product name and a rave review without me asking for it. I understand that it's part of their job to sell the products, but this was too much 4. I came in letting the esthetician know that I needed to exfoliate and asked her for additional recommendations on what I could do for my skin. She kept repeating that "exfoliation is key", which I knew and was already adding in to my routine. Was hoping for additional information considering this is her domain of expertise. 5. No special tools used: everything used here I had the tools to do at home (yes, I do have a facial steamer) I didn't have Sally, who everyone on here raves about, so that might've made a difference. read more

Best facial I've ever had, hands down. Sally is amazing and made the experience over the top! I was warmly greeted then sat down to fill out a questionnaire. The space is intimate but very inviting and well decorated. Sally also offered tea while I filled out the questionnaire then we headed to the room. Sally is very knowledgeable and knows what she's doing, we chatted about my skin and current regimen before she started the treatment. I got a back and face facial - Both were amazing and soooo relaxing, including a massage. The quality products and essential oils maximized the experience. After the treatment, Sally recommended some great products for my skin and I happily grabbed a few to try out. I highly recommend this place. I'll be back, such an amazing experience! read more

Studio Soothe - Massage Near Me - San Francisco, California

I came here for my birthday while visiting SF and wow! Elle's hands are magic: firm pressure, perfect rhythm, and she really knew which areas needed more attention. Id highly recommend read more

This place is seriously a hidden gem! You feel welcomed from the moment you walk in, the studio is decorated well with a bunch of the products they use/recommend. I've come in for two appointments with Leilani - Ultimate facial and a back facial w/ peel, they both included a miniature massage while I had masks, exfoliators, etc on. Both of these sessions were amazing and extremely relaxing, I fall asleep on the table every time! Looking forward to booking my next appointment :) read more

This review is so long overdue! Now that life is starting to re-open, I decided it was time to get a facial and have my brows professionally shaped. This last year I've tried to manage my brows on my own with fairly disastrous results. Sally repaired my brows and they look 100% better. I also had an amazing facial from Sally. I left feeling floaty and was definitely glowing. Thank you, Sally!! read more

I'm newer to facials, but Minette was an amazing person to see when I was struggling with acne back in October. I hadn't had a breakout this bad in more than 5 years and had scheduled an appointment as one of the many attempts to reset my skin. Minette was thorough, gentle and non-judgmental, even when I explained my poor skin care habits In the end, she made some really life changing recommendations for behaviors I should pick up and products I should use. It cost me wayyyyy more than I planned, but in less than 2 months, her recommendations TRANSFORMED my skin. Her services were/are worth every penny!! Thank you! And I'll certainly be back again! read more

Home from my facial with Minette and there is a major difference in my skin before and after. My skin looks radiant and clean now and my fine lines around my forehead, mouth, and eyes (I'm 50) have significantly softened. I've had a lot of facials over the years and this is the first time I've had the facial massage techniques that Minette used and it really worked. The products she used were pretty amazing too. The smells were like medicine, dissolving my stress, especially during the shoulder massage. Thank you Minette! read more

I found Studio Soothe on Yelp and decided to get a facial by Sally because of the awesome reviews!! I love the ambiance of the studio and the facial was amazing! I felt very pampered and in good hands with Sally. I also got an ad on for a foot massage... highly recommended! I will be a regular customer and can't wait to get a massage next time! Thank you Sally and team! read more

Take 2 at Soothe this time with Gayle for a pre-wedding massage and facial, a treat to myself before the wedding. To be honest I love massages and rarely get facials because normally while the skin looks good after, it never lasts and I'm not sure about the long-term benefits but massages I love!!! Gayle was amazing, she did deep tissue but somehow it wasn't painful at all and when she stretched me my back definitely made a few cracks to snap back into place as it should be. She loosened up the muscles and heated them up enough for my back to do the rest by itself which is how it should be. I always get tension in my neck and shoulders and most masseuses like to apply a lot of pressure and pain and it hurts after but not always with beneficial results. This massage was different and so relaxing. The facial was fun too, although I admit I love the glowing results more than the actual process. But everything was smooth, nice, nothing was uncomfortable, even the extraction was gentle where's some places seem to torture you. I am a believer that skin is fragile and should be take care of not abused. I would absolutely come back for this treatment, 2 hours of pampering with great results to both body, mind and face. The spa is super cute, in a very quite neighborhood so it's easy to get there and park and then go home and relax. read more

Absolute magic. I had a truly wonderful Sunday afternoon massage by Buffie-- my first massage since before the pandemic! Was checked in promptly, and the new client paperwork was very brief. I have super tight shoulders after a lifetime of swimming that no amount of stretching or yoga seems to help, and Buffie did an amazing job with taking her time to work out that tension and checking in with me about pressure. Also got some self-care homework! :) Very grateful for the experience and for their compliance with COVID-19 mandates. I'll be back! read more

Really like this spot, I've gone a few times for massages and always had good experiences. Last time I saw Ellie and she was great!! My back was really hurting before and I felt a million times better afterwards. She also gave me some helpful tips to prevent back pain as well. read more

Sally & the team at Studio Soothe are my absolute go-to for waxing, facials - any kind of pampering or treatment. I've been going to Sally for years and have never found anyone else who does such a wonderful job with such care and attention to detail. My skin has never been better and I always feel so incredibly relaxed the moment I walk in the door. The team are true professionals and experts at what they do and I can't recommend them enough read more

I literally cannot praise Sally enough. She was recommended to me by a coworker and I was definitely mot disappointed! the individualization of the facial was next level, but what I loved most was how she not only educated me on what she did and why but also asked thoughtful questions to help me figure out what had caused some of my skin problems. will absolutely come back, I love her! read more

Recently I have been struggling with acne and have been trying out lots of different products and services to combat this. This was one of the best facials I've ever had. Extractions were painful but my skin is very difficult to extract from! Relaxing ambiance, great products, and my skin was significantly better a week after my facial. I wish it were a little less expensive because I want to keep going back! Ten out of ten for the service and results. read more

Studio Soothe SAVED MY SKIN. I have battled adult hormonal acne for the past few years. I never had acne growing up, and I didn't know how to treat it. I found Sally out of pure coincidence. I was driving with a friend to Tahoe, and she found the great reviews for this neighborhood spot. I tried Sally out, and years later I have become a diehard customer. I can't recommend Sally enough. I generally see Sally every 6 to 8 weeks, and originally she helped me with the quality of my skin. I was using dermatologist-recommended items and my skin was drying out and feeling awful. After a year of seeing her (the acne was consistently under control at this point), I had a big flare-up. I went to my dermatologist again (it was really bad out of nowhere, and I was confused at what was happening). The dermatologist told me I should try Accutane, which seemed pretty abrupt. It's such a heavy medication with serious side effects, and I didn't feel like the 15-minute appointment was enough to determine that this was the right treatment. I decided to ask Sally if she could fix me (again) before jumping into taking pills. This was the BEST decision I could have made! Sally spent extra time diagnosing my behaviors to understand where the flare-ups were coming from. She helped me change my habits (washing sweat off my face right after a work out), my detergent, make up, etc. She let me text her with questions anytime, and I made the switch to her line of products (she never pushes these on you at all, but they are truly great quality and very reasonably priced). I saw her once a month for a few months and my skin is completely clear. It's truly never looked better. I'm not a big Yelp reviewer, but I have to say that Sally changed my life. I was so embarrassed by my face, and now I feel confident and beautiful without make up. I love Sally dearly. She is such a kind soul, and she really knows her stuff. I cannot recommend her and Studio Soothe enough. If you have acne and want to feel like yourself without medication book immediately with Sally! read more

Went to Studio Soothe not knowing what to expect for my first ever facial and came out with the most wonderful experience. Was helped by Sally, and she was amazing. Sweetest person, explained everything thoroughly, and did an incredible job. Not sure why I haven't done this for the first 30 years of my life. Will definitely be going back and highly recommend to everyone. read more

Came here for the first time for a facial. I got the standard which is pricey ($150 w/o tip). However it was really a great experience. The place is super small but when you're in the room it doesn't matter because it's so relaxing! The facialist was really great in providing service that met my needs and got a nice hand massage out of it. My skin felt so fresh and clear afterwards Will def be going back. read more

I bought massages for my girlfriend and I as a "couple's massage" for an early 4th anniversary gift back in July. She had the Soothe Signature Facial with Dana and I had the Men's Signature Facial with Sally. We booked too late to get the same time slot, so my appointment started 30 minutes after her's. We arrived about 10 minutes before her appointment and filled out a questionnaire. There was tea available and the chairs in the waiting area were so comfortable that I took a nap. I've never done anything with my skin, so it was my first time doing something like a facial. Sally was amazing. The facial and massage were so relaxing that I felt like I was falling asleep. Yet, I couldn't fall asleep because it was so calming and I wanted to experience more. It was unlike anything I've felt before. The part I loved the most was the extractions. Most of them felt ticklish, a couple felt like pinches, but they all felt great coming out of my skin. My girlfriend also thoroughly enjoyed her facial with Dana as well. We both felt amazing afterwards. This was definitely worth the trip. read more
