This is a darling day spa in the heart of downtown Carlsbad. When I first walked by I didn't know they did skincare & waxing; I thought it was just a cute boutique...when some coworkers surprised me with a gift card, I was so excited! I booked a bikini wax and did not state a preference for the technician. Riley ended up doing my Brazilian and she was excellent! She talked to me throughout to distract me from the pain, but honestly it was not that painful. I was surprised that my skin was not super red afterward. She offered me a rosewater wipe to use prior the waxing and the treatment room was clean. She did a thorough job and used an oil by the brand Fur to finish, and I decided to purchase the travel rollerball, which totally helped eliminate any ingrown hairs or red bumps that were trying to come out. I kept using the rollerball for weeks after, and no ingrowns! I shopped around the boutique after my treatment and was astounded at the reasonable prices on the super cute clothes, jewelry, and other accessories and fun things in the shop. I left with a dress, a couple cute tops, a bracelet and earrings by Scout (love that brand), and a travel candle, plus the Fur rollerball. I believe the Brazilian bikini wax was $65, and I left a nice tip and walked away with fun new stuff without spending a ton over my gift card amount of $115. Side note--the toilet would not flush when I used their restroom, and let them know, so they shut it down for customer use while I was there. I think it's an older building and perhaps sensitive plumbing. This did not affect my experience in any way. Overall I recommend Riley and this awesome little boutique if you live near the Carlsbad area or are visiting! read more

Zule is truly extraordinary! I will only ever go to her for my waxing needs. From my very first appointment to every appointment since, she has always made me feel so comfortable, cared for, and completely at ease. She is incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely makes the experience so much better. Finding someone you trust and feel this comfortable with is rare, and Zule is truly irreplaceable. I couldn't recommend her more! read more

F O R . W H O M . T H E . B A R . T O L L S . . . What's up with it, my vanilla faces? Thank you to speak me: my first Yelp review. My country send me to U-S-and-A to become educate great American alcohol novelists F. Scotts Fitzgerald and Ernie Hemingways. HIGH FIVE! Today I go to village bars to learn drinking American alcohols just like F. Scotts and Ernie Hemingways. I walk in beauty bar name "Sweat Cheeks". At first I am so confuse -- no smell of ox urines, no knife-fight with ugly named Igor, and worst of all... no horse beer tastes like Chernobyl! In my country, beauty bar is place belching mens with fermented-yak-milk cologne smoke beer and drink cigarette. Sometimes marry cousin by accident. Happiness Hour Cocktail is 2 vodkas in same cup. Always Lynyrd Skynyrd jukebox. Next to neon Baywatch pinballs machine. THIS American beauty bar is a place to give skincares, massage, and waxings?!? WAWAWEWA!! I call wife who was reading fairy tale to childrens where all characters execute. She say I need this kind of beauty bar because my skin folds like accordion and I smell like sister after wedding night. Here... woman without mustache use a steam machine... just like secret-police interrogation... and scrub face like it's floor of bus station. Make my face tight, like young goat. Very niice! At home we only clean face with toes-of-camel, potato yogurt, and grandmother bathwater. Next she rips hair from jungle of national forest. I scream like first-time chicken at plucking festival! Lucky she didn't removed Soviet microchip. At end give me sample of lotion made from gypsy tears. Now I look glowing like traditional disco ball in funeral tent {*gives two thumbs up*}! If you want be soft like sheep-after-winter-shave, smooth for romance, and not smelling like a cabbage... come to American beauty bar! Though you may lose dignity, gain rash, and sober like priest on Tuesday... maybe... if lucky... you receive free sample lotion. Greatest country in world! Pro tip: Sweet Cheeks is a hidden gem of a day spa and retail boutique. Came here for wife's birthday and haven't stopped returning! We've had consistently great treatment(s) at a fair price. The skincare line they use is Eminence of which I have received many sample lotions. HIGH FIVE! read more

I love this place! i just started coming here a few weeks ago and everyone is so kind!

Came here for a leg wax and ended up shopping as well. I've walked by this store numerous times and never realized it was a spa/beauty services. Cute store with fun little trinkets and cute clothes. Always love to outdoor rack with the sale items! I've gotten quite a few things. Yummy smelling candles though I think they're all the same scent just different container. I'll be back for another spa service and shop some more. read more

Sweet Day - I happened to be born two hours post V-Day just so I could celebrate a separate B-Day. I love doing something different each year. Sweet Treat - My husband treated me to a facial and massage for the occasion. I am a professionally trained massage therapist, so I am particular. Sweet Cheeks - The staff is professional and skilled in their services. Everything from the booking to the chocolate at the end was excellent. Sweet Find - We discovered the beauty bar offering facials, massages, and waxing, while walking Carlsbad Village one day. A fun boutique is attached. Sweet Deals - You can purchase a $78 promo for a $100 service under Yelp Deals now, good for one year. Super Sweet = 5 Stars I was psyched to head home with a faux fur pair of pink slippers from the boutique, courtesy of my spouse. Can't wait to go back. Note: They offer a monthly memberships and I love the technicians make their own playlists! #TheSweetestThing #CarlsbadVillage #SweetCheeks #YelpDeals #SweetDreams read more

Incredible spa and office! The space is beautifully designed, and they even have an adorable store with a great selection of clothes and spa items to purchase.

It was just an OKAY experience. Maybe my expectations were set too high of what I was looking for. My experience was not personalized whatsoever and I just felt like another appt to check off of the list. I've had plenty of facials in the past and was really looking forward to finding a new place/esthetician to get them done regularly. I booked the 1hr 20 min luminous firm facial and the facial started about 4:57pm since she took me in a few mins early and it ended at 6:03pm... so I'm not quite sure why it ended early. I advised I hadn't had a facial in awhile and my skin was sensitive. Usually I'm provided info about what products will be used and ask about any trouble areas or concerns but that didn't happen. All I was told was that the micro would feel like a cat licking my face and the enzyme peel would be spicy. I left feeling like I just kept getting product slathered on my face and neck over and over and was never told what any of it was. She also never advised of any after care. The next day I woke up with a few acne spots which I don't ever get and a pretty serious rash covering my entire neck, chin and cheeks. I've had to use Benadryl and cold compresses to try and calm it down. read more

Had the best facial from Roz! I have really sensitive skin and she knew the exact products that would work for me. It was the most relaxing enjoyable experience and I highly recommend her! read more

Just got a Brazilian wax from Cassidy. Honestly one of the best ones I've ever received. Cassidy was super welcoming, warm, and had a calm energy. I was also greeted by every worker who walked by which was nice. Cassidy made me feel very comfortable during the wax. Tip: The store has a little shop up front so if you come early you can shop around! Highly recommend. read more

I highly recommend cheeks, beauty bar. The staff are very knowledgeable and accommodating. I would recommend to make an appointment with "Carsyn" She is very skilled, kind and informative. The salon is clean, well organized, and everybody is very friendly. I will definitely recommend sweet cheeks! read more

Really wanted to love this place based on others' reviews, but my experience was a disappointment. Had a Brazilian wax with Roz. It had been years since my last Brazilian, but I've had many before so know what to expect and this was NOT it. Before leaving, I noticed a decent sized patch of hairs left in one section, but figured I could take care of it at home since Roz had already left the treatment room. But once I got home and really took a look with a mirror I realized it was far more than just that one section. Multiple patches of hair were left over in obvious places. I showed my husband and he pointed out even more missed parts I couldn't see. I had gone 2+ weeks without shaving so the length wasn't an issue. Such a bizarre experience. Needless to say, I will not be returning or recommending this place to anyone. read more

This was my first time at Sweet Cheeks and I was not disappointed. Rachel was the sweetest! She did an amazing job on my Brazilian, very thorough and professional. Would recommend her 1000% read more

Owner will not honor any Groupon service for anyone who has EVER had any prior service regardless of how long it's been or the type of service. On the Groupon it states they have no appointments for months for a spray tan but upon calling it's wide open. After scheduling for my preferred time Saturday at 5 pm I was informed the owner said they can't honor it. Can't or won't? They've lost me as a customer over just $25 and my family and friends. Seems like a poorly run business if that's how they value and treat clients. read more

I have been a monthly member since 2014. I've seen several aestheticians over the years. There have been so many wonderful aestheticians who have worked here. I've seen just about everyone in the past 10 years. If you want an amazing facial, treatment, spray tan, or a pain-free wax, you NEED to book with Brittany S. or Cassidy! Brittany does the best extractions and complete facial massage. The facial massage is definitely my favorite, I can feel circulation being restored. I let her evaluate my skin, and she has always been spot on with what it needs at the time. My skin always feels so fresh after seeing her, and my whole face glows! I've had some facials that have had a short-term feel-good effect, but hers last! The dry patches and puffy areas have been completely eliminated by seeing her monthly. I hope she stays for the long term. She's such an amazing person and so gifted at what she does! Cassidy has the best way of waxing, which makes you feel completely at ease. She's super thorough and consistent. She listens to your preferences, and it makes the experience so much better. She gives extremely relaxing facials and very amazing treatments. I can't say enough wonderful things about these women. They are truly gifted in their craft! I love shopping in the store too! They have the cutest clothes and gifts. If you are in the area, definitely check it out. read more

I got a facial there. My therapist was super nice. Appointment was on time. Shop is super cute.

Sweet Cheeks is my favorite place to get facials and massages. If you sign up for their newsletter, they are always offering monthly deals/discounts. Very clean and relaxing environment! read more

Let me tell you about these angels... I go here every time I need I spray tan and they never disappoint! After a scheduling mix-up literally the day before I left for my wedding in Mexico, Brandon moved things around to make sure I was able to get my tan done before I left. 10/10 these folks are amazing! read more

We threw my daughter's 13th birthday there and it was a huge success. all the girls had mini facials and got to have an enjoyable spa party. we go there often for facials and Waxing all the time. They have a great team now and perfect to do some thing for teens or preteen. read more

I've been coming here for my spray tans lately after buying a 3 pack - one before a friends wedding, one before my bridal shower and I'll be back next week before my bachelorette! I also purchased 2 hydra facials that I'll be coming in for before my wedding. From what I've heard, their facials are excellent. The shop is super cute and the staff is really nice. I love that they're really responsive over text messaging. The spray tans have been nice and even and the appointments are really easy to book online. I'm a big fan and highly recommend this place! read more

Its taken me about 2 years to post on this fabulous spa. But I think it's a good thing because I have about 10 visits under my belt now and I can give a really honest review. I must like go for a Hydro dermabrasion and it includes cryotherapy; and I've had several different aestheticians & I have loved results every time I went... I can tell you there must be some really good training because everyone I've had has been excellent! I even moved about 7 months ago to dana point & truly looked forward to finding a new place out here to do hydrofacials. I went to a few l;but just not the same. I drive to Sweet Cheeks still...Highly recommend read more

I love this spa! They have the best facials! I love that the products are organic And made with natural ingredients. Using the products daily also... makes my face more moisturized, my skin tone is evening out, my fine lines are gone, and brown spots are fading. I also love the clothing, jewelry, and gifts here too! read more

We had a spa party today. It was so much fun! We all chose to do facials. Rachel was great and explained all of the different products she was using. I love the products that they use, it is organic. I have sensitive skin so I don't want to use things with a lot of chemicals. My face was glowing when I was done! The spa is very clean and the service is 5 star! I highly recommend Sweet Cheeks!!! read more

Recently held my daughter's 11th birthday party here with their party spa package. There were 6 girls in total and they all had an absolute blast. The staff made them extremely comfortable with this new experience and the girls loved feeling like "adults" for the day. They shopped the adorable boutique, had yummy refreshments, and got their mini facials. Brandon was very easy to work with and all the staff there were so accommodating. Definitely recommend! read more

oh my gosh. I just had the best massage of my entire life yesterday. oh my gosh. oh my gosh. Hart is such a perfect name for this massage therapist (and more). she knows so many therapeutic modalities and is so attuned to your body and the connection between the body and trauma. it's the first time I felt such a deep comfort in years after down difficult times. she's like a healer--there's something so special to her and her talents. she's just so amazing and knew what to do and I was free of pain, so comforted , so safe. I would love to relive that 80 minutes and have thought about it since. she's a miracle worker, I don't know what else to say. I can't wait to refer veterans and clients I see as a veteran to her! I finally have someone I can refer to that finds the pain spots and just -- she heals them. do not wait! make an appt now!! also my facial-- I was taught me so much and that was so cool! I'm so grateful!! She even helped assess ingredients!! It can get a little pricey for little amenities just in my opinion but its hard on everyone...plus the treatments are so amazing!! (Using different name for professional reasons) :) read more

Incredible care & service at my appointments this morning! Wanted to treat myself and my sister to a spa day so we booked massages and facials at Sweet Cheeks. The facial was amazing and the products they use are natural, high quality, and smell heavenly! My massage was also phenomenal and well-worth every dollar! The service of all the girls was top notch and so welcoming. I will be coming back to support this local business!! read more

Absolutely love Sweet Cheeks! I had the best facial by Rachel. She is simply amazing. This was my third facial at Sweet Cheeks, and they just get better every time. This last one was wonderful and I can definitely see a big difference. Thank you so much Rachel, you are incredible. I will see you again in a few weeks. read more
