Heidi is my wife's acupuncture therapist. She's done an amazing job with her for about... 2 years now I think. But back then she was working somewhere else. My wife like Heidi and followed her to her new gig, so I definitely recommend this place. Parking usually isn't that bad, but Sundays are kind of touch and go, especially cuz the "Mexican mall" (I can say that cuz I'm Mexican and I shop there) [Kobey's swapmeet] is right next door and the overrated Phil's BBQ share the same parking lot, makes it kind of hard to find parking. So plan accordingly. read more

I went in last Wednesday afternoon for my first facial appointment with Heather. From setting up the appointment, to the actual day of arriving to the salon I was in great hands. Heather is very attentive, detail-oriented and allowed me to ask questions about what to expect for the facial. The spa itself was super chic, clean and easy to find in the plaza. Once inside Heather's facial room, everything was clean, the bed to lay down on was very comfortable and importantly, Heather's hospitality exceeded my expectations. Before starting she asked me what was my current facial routine, then with that information she went ahead and told me the products she'll be using on my face that compliments my skin type. It was the best hour I've ever had! Super relaxing environment and I felt at peace getting my facial. No discomfort whatsoever. I definitely recommend trying Heather out for her facials, you won't regret it, read more

First timer for a Brazilian wax here ! T L Spa and Wellness were quick to respond and I was able to schedule a next day appointment without any problem. I'm not going to lie and say that my first Brazilian wax experience didn't hurt because it was definitely painful but totally tolerable. Tyrla made my experience so much better as well through her outstanding customer service and comfort. Loved this place and I'm glad I came here for my first wax! Thank you T L Spa and Wellness!!! Update: Second time at this spa & it was just as amazing as the first time. Super friendly staff and awesome service. Tyrla was great and comforting! read more

I got my first official massage the other night. I still feel relaxed and a bit heavy. Not fat heavy, but like i am carrying a cloud on my body heavy. She made me very comfortable, and spoke very sweetly before/during/after the whole thing. I was holding on to a Gift Certificate for a long time and finally had a chance to use it. I am glad I did. I didn't know what I was missing! I will be back soon. I guess you are supposed to wait at least a month before your next one. read more

TL Spa and Wellness is truly a diamond in the rough. If you didn't know where it was located, you might never find it. It's shoved in the back of a strip mall, behind Phil's BBQ off of Sports Arena Blvd, in Point Loma. In other words, if you haven't been there yet--you're missing out. Big time. I have had approximately 50 massages in my life. Getting a massage is something I consider a necessity for relaxation, stress reduction, and overall good health. A good massage can change your whole outlook on life, and a bad one can leave you restless and anxious. I have had a bad back for about 5 years now, so a good massage is even more vital now than it used to be. For my birthday, a good friend gave me a gift certificate to TL Spa and Wellness. I immediately booked an appt for a massage, but was slightly skeptical about a spa that was located behind a BBQ place, in a strip mall nonetheless. Call me snobby, but my expectations were low. Upon walking in the door, I was greeted by a wave of calmness. The inside of this spa is like Japanese garden: there are soothing sounds of water coming from a fountain, it smells amazing, and soft sounds create a soothing atmosphere. I was introduced to Amber, who was to be my massage therapist. She asked me about any back problems, what I was hoping to get out of my massage, etc. I told her how picky I am about pressure, how I wanted to feel looser the next day but I also wanted to feel relaxed during my massage. I'm kind of a high maintenance customer, I know. Fast forward 65 minutes: Amber is truly one of the most talented massage therapists I have ever been to. She really understands the need for healing behind massage, and worked with me on a personal level to try to understand how she could help me. I walked out of there feeling more relaxed than I had in months. Since then I have sent many friends to her, and been back 3 times. There are a lot of cheap deals out there for massages, and TL is definitely not cheap--about $75 per hour. But the way you feel after leaving there is exponentially better than the other places I have tried in San Diego, and to me that is more than worth the extra money. read more

I recently got a coupon in the mail from my friends at TL Spa & Wellness. It turns out another friend went and saw Tyrla, per my suggestion! Woo! When people I know tell TL Spa I referred them, I got a coupon on my next service. SCORE!!!! It's still very painful...but so much better than shaving! read more

Although not a large 5 star facility, their treatments get 5 stars from me. I can feel Linda's massages days later. She also specializes in acupuncture. Many services packed into this a cozy location. Right behind the new Phils BBQ. Comfort food and a massage, mmmmm Definitely worth getting to know them. read more

It is a pleasure to write a " glowing " review for TYrla and Linda ,the amazing owners and practitioners of my favorite Spa! As I always say they truly are the best at what they do! Not only are they incredibly talented , but they are just very warm, nice and genuine. They greet you with a smile , work their magic and you leave feeling rejuvenated and well taken care of . I highly recommend that you pamper yourself with a trip to TL Spa and Wellness ! Thank you , Anne V.H. read more

Such a beautiful and well decorated salon. Peaceful, tranquil and relaxing. I had my Brazilian done for the first time and she did an amazing job. Very little discomfort. I would highly recommend this salon for facials, waxing and massage. They use only the highest grade of products and have high personal integrity. Will be a lifelong client. read more

This place truly is as good as it gets!! The staff made a potentially awkward and uncomfortable waxing very tolerable. I can't say pleasant, because waxing never is, but the technician was so professional and helped me to keep my mind off of it. The place was clean, parking was easy, price was good, all in all I certainly recommend this place to everyone. read more

I have been loyal to TL Spa for years...dare I say 5+ years? Tyrla can correct me if I am wrong. Tyrla is the reason why - she makes me comfortable, is efficient and clean. I love Tyrla, she's easy to talk to and is a perfectionist. She uses hard wax, which is less painful. Facials are relaxing. Thanks to Ellene for recommending Tyrla years ago. I end my appointment with a sweet hug and sometimes...a piece from the candy bowl. I've also been here for massages with Linda, who is the spunkiest, coolest lady! I really like this duo :) read more

Had a facial and wax (brow and lip) done with Reese and it was amazing. Her brand in Nu Moon and I found her here from yelp! She revived my brows and my skin looks amazing, cannot recommend more! read more

Although it is a bit of a drive from my place, it's definitely worth coming to TL Spa & Wellness (which is located by the San Diego Sports arena in the same plaza behind Phil's BBQ). The waiting area has a relaxing ambiance due to the sounds of a water fountain and calm "meditation" music. Rachel, the receptionist, is always welcoming. Tyrla is definitely my favorite esthetician -- she knows how to make you feel relaxed & comfortable, and "walks you through it" if it's your first time getting waxed. Another reason why I go to her is because she uses a special hard wax (instead of strip wax), which is less painful in my opinion. She is also quite the perfectionist, which I love, because she'll make sure every stray is gone and that's QUALITY service. =) Lastly, I love how she makes conversation and gets to know her customers and gives them goodbye hugs -- she's so sweet. I've recommended Tyrla to quite a few of my girlfriends (like Diana below =P) and each one of them have had a great experience so far. Like me, they keep going back. I have yet to get a massage there. I've heard good things about Linda... so that is next on my list. read more

I recommend Tyrla - she is awesome! I was referred to her by my friend Ellene and I am so thankful! She's the sweetest person - and I love how I'm completely comfortable with her.... ...which is important if you're getting waxed - anywhere. :) read more

I have been seeing Mariana for over a year now. She came from Natura Spa in Pacific Beach. Once I found out she was leaving I was determined to find her! She's amazing and I wouldn't go anywhere else for a Bazillian. read more

Jenny is the best. I have been getting brazilians for some years, and I've had mostly good experiences but Jenny tops it all. She's so sweet you don't even realize she's about to manhandle you like no other (in the best way possible), some silly chit chat, then its over. She's very thorough, which is deluxxxe because I hate it when I get waxed and go home to realize they've missed some strays. Every time I return home I have to make sure to go see my girl! I heart Jenny read more

I went to Tyrla for a Brazilian wax, and she was great! She was gentle, and did a thorough job at removing everything, including tweezing any strays at the end. We had a friendly conversation throughout, which helped distract me from the pain. She even sent me a handwritten card in the mail to thank me for coming in- such a sweet gesture, which goes to show that she cares about her clients and values their business. I will definitely be back. read more

Tyrla is AMAZING! I first went there because I bought a Groupon, but I kept coming back because of Tyrlas professionalism and enjoyable conversations. The facility is clean, hygienic and decorated with calming photos. Support small businesses, especially when they go above and beyond for their clients. read more

Christy is a miracle worker! What a treat it was to get a custom facial from her. She took her time in caring for my skin and explained the process to me. She has a peaceful calming spirt. I left feeling happy, pampered and a few years younger! I can't wait to go back to Christy soon for some more long over due skin care. I HIGHLY recommend Christy if you're looking for a caring knowledgeable esthetician with expertise and experience! Many thanks! read more

Linda McCray is by far the best massage/acupuncturist I've worked with, and I've worked with many. She helped me recover from full body fibromyalgia 16 years ago and I've seen her every 1 to 4 weeks since then. I've found that body work professionals often lack what I call the "healing touch." Linda has the healing touch they lack; she continues to help me and muscles through the challenges of life in a world of busyness and keyboards. She has also helped my husband and my brother with muscle spasms and injuries. I highly recommend her without hesitation. read more

I've been going to Luciana for years! She does my facials and waxing and she is amazing. She is very thorough and makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. Her prices are awesome too. My skin has never looked better. Try her pumpkin peel for sure!! read more

I have been seeing Tyrla for waxing before she opened TL spa. And how could I not follow her. Give this place a try you will not be disappointed. Atmosphere is great. Customer service is outstanding. Support small businesses. read more

Just used her new online booking. Super easy to do and got an appointment on the same day!! whoohoo! Love how convenient this was. I only get my waxing and facials from TL Spa and Wellness. read more

A little gem in a busy town. The atmosphere is cozy, calm and beautiful, the staff are attentive, caring and sweet. The spa offers a wonderful array of services from daily care to transforming your body and health. I would recommend a visit to Tyrla, she's beautiful inside and out and cares about everyone she meets. Her knowledge and skills as an aesthetician and business owner set her apart from all others. You'll never be disappointed with a trip to T L Spa and Wellness! read more

I love Tyrla! I've been going to her for 6 years (even before TL Spa and Wellness was born) and I couldn't be more satisfied! Linda also does a great job, I've been waxed by her when Tyrla was unavailable and also did a body sugaring treatment with her. Bottom line is this place is amazing and the estheticians are top notch =] read more

TL Spa is the best Ive been to in San Diego. I've seen Tyrla for waxing for years and she is among the best estheticians out there! The brazilian wax is as painless as Ive ever experienced. But its the customer service that keeps me coming back; highly professional and friendly. I would recommend TL Spa again and again, I wont be going anywhere else. read more

I recommend Tyrla to anyone! I've gotten to know her over the past 3 years for different services and she's the best. She's kind, welcoming, and knows how to keep conversation light and engaging. She's professional, treats you like a friend, and always gives great beauty advice! I look forward to my monthly appointment with her. she truly does it all and takes care of you! The facilities are so nice and relaxing, and they have great products but don't oversell. Tyrla and her mom run the spa and you can tell by how much of their heart goes into everything they do. So happy I found you! read more

I have been a client of Tyrla for a number of years now. Tyrla is knowledgeable in her profession and gives good skin care advice. Tyrla facials are addicting and SO relaxing. I leave glowing and feeling so refreshed every time. I also see Tyrla for my waxing needs, I love how she shapes my eyebrows and she is so quick with other facial hair removal. Tyrla is compassionate and personable and makes me so comfortable each and every visit. I highly recommend Tyrla and TL spa and wellness. read more

WOW!! This place is great, I dont know how to best describe in words my experience at TL Spa. It is a great little hidden gem in Point Loma. I have had a few treatments there and they all were great, but Tyrla, the owner is bar far the best facial in town. She really takes her time and really knows what she is doing. Very professional but friendly and relaxing at the same time. They use really great products and the special lighting in the treatment rooms and music make for a relaxing ambiance. I only wish I could go more often, but I get to relish in the special treatment when I can manage to get the time to go. If you have not been, go now, you will not be disappointed. read more

This is my number one place for waxing. I will not go anywhere else. The pricing is decent and it's in a good central location. The facilities are always clean, presentable, and inviting. Not to mention their service is excellent (thank you Tyrla!). They are professional, fun-loving, and very welcoming. I would highly recommend coming here! read more

My friend recommended this little gem to me. I was new to the whole Brazilian waxing thing, new as in I had NEVER had it done before. I really wanted to go somewhere that I would feel comfortable and relaxed since it is a sensitive area. I made my appointment with Tyrla and will never go anywhere else again!!!! Both Tyrla and Linda are wonderful, I highly recommend TL Spa for waxing...Im going to try a massage next! :) read more

I was just passing through on a business trip with my boyfriend and i wanted to get a waxing service before going on the the fun part of the trip. I found this place on yelp and they were doing a Yelp deal! I was able to make an appointment that day and use the deal i found! Super easy! The lady I saw was super nice, and the facility was really clean. Glad I found them! :) read more

I used to go to TL Spa every month, up until August 2007 - that's when I entered and pursued my Master's program, thus, I spent 3 years since August 2007 living like a broke a$$ college student and could not afford going to this place, let alone anything else labeled "luxury". But now that I'm done with the Master's program, I'm excited to go back to TL Spa in 2 weeks. Why? 1. Friendliness - this means that their staffs are not pushy at all, vs. other Spa places that would try to upsell their skin care products. They're easy to talk to, and even for Q&A session, they never act like they're too good for you. 2. Comfort - their staffs immediately put me at ease, and the environment also adds on to the comfort level. 3. Proximity - it's just right behind where I work, so all I need is hop over to this heaven at lunch time. 4. Treatment - WOW! Up until August 2007, no matter what type of facials I bought, I always fell asleep right away (imagine that - someone working on your face that can make you fall asleep). My aesthetician at that time told me that I looked cute snoring (ups!). The bad part about this place? Everytime I was done with any treatment, I had VERY HARD time going back to work. Damn it! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! I've been coming to this place somewhere around 5-6 years! I bought a groupon and thought why not?!? Well Linda and Tarla are amazing! I consider them friend now. They not only know their stuff but they make it as relaxing as possible. I am a customer for life! read more

Great experience! Just had a Brazilian wax and signature facial yesterday and it was awesome! Tyrla was great and made the wax as pleasant as possible. She was professional, personable, knowledgable and informative. I really appreciated her insights to waxing and skin care. She made me feel very comfortable. And the facial was so nice!! I only wish it had been a little more quiet in the salon, I could hear people talking in the hallway and other rooms, but that is understandable. I would absolutely recommend TL Spa and I plan to go back! read more

I have been going to T L Spa and Wellness from the day they opened their doors. Tyrla and Linda are amazing, I wouldn't go to anyone else! Super friendly staff...great ambience...I highly recommend this location for any of your spa needs! read more

T L Spa & Wellness is hands down the very best spa in San Diego. It's a little hidden but that's it's ONLY con. The second you walk through the door you are transported to a calm and comforting place where you can relax and breathe. Yes that's right, relax, yes, even if you're there for a waxing. Yes, even if you're there for THAT waxing. The staff is amazing, warm, knowledgeable, and can answer any question or concern you may have. You even receive discount coupons for each and every person you refer! Unlike so many other spas that shall remain nameless (you know, most of them) everyone that works there remembers you. They remember what you like, don't like, if you need to be talked through waxing, or don't like to talk at all during a massage. The staff are HUGE perfectionists, you won't leave with an errant hair or tight muscle depending on which service you are there for (and I really do suggest trying them all). So, unless you don't like amazing service, from warm caring people who treat you like a real person and not just another face, get to T L Spa & Wellness!! read more

I was in need of a bikini wax due to going on a trip to the river! Having had one wax prior to this one at another location, I was quite nervous as it had been EXTREMELY painful. But after seeing yelp reviews about TL, I decided to give it a shot. And I'm so glad I did! I was with Tyrla, and she was phenomenal. She made things so comfortable and while there was a little bit of pain, (which is expected) she was so good at helping take my mind off of it. Although I have moved out of San Diego, I will more than happily be making the drive to come here again! read more
