I love how she takes the time to assess my face and recommend what is best keeping it very natural looking. She recently did my jawline and chin to make it more promenade and so far I'm very happy.

Cultive is the absolute besttt that I've found in San Diego!!! I've got my botox, Laser hair…read moreremoval, & Morpheus8 treatments here and I've always had such a great experience. Everyone on the staff is so sweet and incredibly good at their job. They do my botox PERFECTLY, I hate being completely frozen in the face, I like a little movement, and they just do such a perfect job!!! I will ONLYYY go here for botox!! My Morpheus8 treatments helped my skin texture and tightened my skin. Im 36 and like trying anti aging treatments and I'm so pleased with it! And laser hair removal was perfect, I barely think about my underarm and bikini hair anymore, it's incredible. 10/10 Could not say enough good things about Cultive - if you're on the fence, choose here - THIS IS THE SPOT

Tiffany came highly recommended, so I made an appointment with her to do my microneedling. She did…read morenot disappoint! She made me feel right at home and not stupid or ugly for all the things I wanted to change about my face. In an office of such beautiful people I felt intimidated, but those feelings were quickly put to rest by Tiffany herself who was both patient and kind. From beginning to end, she described what she was doing and why, provided thorough explanations and responses to my questions, and ensured my comfort prior to proceeding. I felt a kinship with Tiffany immediately and would encourage anyone who's seeking any treatment of this nature to see her. Those who referred me to Tiffany stressed her years of experience in the industry as well as her keen eye to detail; but the proof is in the pudding -- she is booked weeks in advance, and I've since met many other beautiful women (and men) who have benefited from Tiffany's artistic eye, appreciation for beauty of all kinds, and meticulous, practiced hands for treatment. Recommendation of the highest.

Tiffany is a fake person. I have lived all over the world, and this is one of the most bazaar…read moreexperiences I've ever had from an alleged "professional". She acts very sweet, but it is easy to see through the veneer. She is very judgemental--she has nothing to be proud about. I had a 1:45 pm appointment and she said I arrived late, although I did come at the precise time to fill out paperwork, which was 1:15pm. She said in the office "I won't have time to do what you want.". Very strange that someone would actually lie to my face--that takes a lot of nerve, especially while all the while she is smiling. Unbelievable. I have never ever been treated like that. This is little Pacific Beach in San Diego. She is definitely insecure. You notice all other review say "This is my first time having this done". There is a reason for that--Nurse Tiffany is not good. But others do no know enough about the procedure or the "nurse" to know that it is not good there. Nor is she.

You will always look natural and not artificial which in my opinion is how one should look after receiving treatment. I would definitely recommend her to anyone searching for a great nurse that works with Botox and fillers and makes you look natural.

June 2024 -- Again, the kind, generous soul gifted me a birthday facial to San Diego Essential…read moreAesthetics (SDEA; THANK YOU -- you know who you are) 2024 has been traumatically rough, leaving me in an emotional and personal tailspin, so I wasn't feeling it. I wanted to cancel and reschedule this facial. Daughter convinced me to go, and so I did. A lot has changed since my last facial with SDEA. The changes are for the better. SDEA has grown and expanded their services (do please check their website), and improved/updated its space(s). I had serious doubts about the new aesthetician, Nevie (Knee-vee), simply because I'm unfamiliar with her, and I still don't like facials. Calm, soft spoken and professional, I was cautiously optimistic as she escorted me to the treatment area; below are my findings: Pros: 1. If it doesn't smell/look clean and organized - RUN! This place?! CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN private, single room that smells nice, with soothing music softly playing in the background. The bed covers are neatly turned back, a 1 size fits all terry wrap is provided for your use, and the pillow has a headband laid out to keep contain the client's hair. Hooks behind the door are conveniently provided for your use, no need to put belongings on the floor, or folded on a chair. I placed my footwear beneath the bed to prevent tripping. Nevie's tray holding the products to be used is neat and organized. Those details matter and are what I look for. The cabinet holding the linens gave me serious retail vibes-- very orderly and organized, the way they're folded screams "PROFESSIONAL"! I'd have serious doubts if the bed was sloppily made, linens /cloths, etc. folded differently, half-a$$€d, and or haphazardly presented; this is a very clean, very organized, effective and efficiently inviting space. 2. After inquiring re: my pressure and area preferences (for the massages) and explaining the disrobing process, Nevie gave me time & privacy to prepare and climb under the covers. The fancy bed electronically raises your knees -- no need for a pillow beneath to relieve back pain. The linens are soft, and the room temperature is perfect: not too hot/cold. 3. Dim lighting, relaxing, soft music, muted sounds, NO loud noises/conversations can be heard. Nevie softly explained everything she was going to do, so I simply closed my eyes. I wasn't surprised/startled, and best of all, no inane, frivolous conversation. I was able to relax and just be in the moment. Her soft voice and light touch lulled me into a twilight state of sleep. Awake enough to hear/respond when needed, Nevie had me "snoring lightly"; although I didn't claim any skin sensitivities prior to the start of my session, unfortunately, the pumpkin product was VERY spicy on my skin, and Nevie immediately and thoroughly removed it, cleansed and replaced it with an extremely soothing cucumber product. The products (save for the pumpkin) felt so good on my skin. The Gua shua facial using tingly, cool facial massaging tools, the scalp and hand/forearm massages were exactly what I needed. The warm hand mitts/treatment were a delightful surprise. Even now as I review this, I'm still so very relaxed, and will definitely sleep well tonight. Poor hubby is going to have to use ear plugs, because I know I'll be sawing logs tonight. 4. Complimentary Fiji water after my facial to stay hydrated?! Why, yes please and - thank you! Cons: 1. Nevie is so good, the 1hr session flew by in a flash. 2. After my session, I was so relaxed, I could barely stand much less have a coherent thought. 3. No place for the client to nap; I had to go home to do that. Conclusion: For someone who really doesn't like facials, I had an outstandingly amazing experience that far exceeded my previously positive and enjoyable experience. I hope Nevie stays with SDEA for a long while to come, because she is just the bees' knees and the cat's meow. I am so thankful for my birthday facial, and to Nevie for this much needed pampering.

While they are a small team, they are each experts in their art. Chelly (Facials): Chelly transformed my acne-prone skin! Her facials are relaxing, and effective. She is gentle, meticulous, and truly cares about results. I really appreciate the fact that she takes time to read your skin and provides a personal experience; rather than one recipe for all facials/skin types. Earl (Massages): Earl listens closely to your concerns and delivers exactly what you need. Whether you are looking to fully relax or need targeted work, Earl takes care of you. I've had two instances where just one massage session has extremely made a difference on a constant pain area; Including a constant tension pain on my shoulder from long hours of desk work. I've not had the opportunity to try their Ayurvedic treatments yet, however I am positive that Christianne and her team will deliver the same level of professionalism and quality as the treatments I have enjoyed. Overall, I truthfully recommend this place for anyone searching for a holistic personalize self care treatment. 10/10 would recommend!

I had a great experience with Ayurbida Wellness and Clinic. The GI-MAP test was absolutely worth…read moredoing because it helped clearly identify what was really going on and what needed to be addressed. The clinic did an excellent job explaining the results and connecting the findings to the symptoms I was experiencing. What impressed me most was how thorough and knowledgeable they were. They were able to pinpoint issues that had not been identified before and gave me a clear plan on what steps to take next. I felt listened to, supported, and confident that I was finally getting to the root of the problem instead of just treating symptoms. I highly recommend Ayurbida Wellness and Clinic to anyone considering a GI-MAP. It was one of the best investments I have made in my health.

I'm so glad I came and even more grateful that Susan Lee was the one assisting me! Susan is incredibly friendly, down to earth, and genuinely cares about her clients. She always made sure I was comfortable and relaxed throughout each session. Our great conversations made the time fly by and helped ease any initial nervousness I had. Although I didn't have experiences with other practitioners, I feel very lucky that Susan was the one guiding me through the process. In the end, I even added two more sessions to fully complete my detox. Beyond her warm and caring approach, Susan is extremely professional and maintains a very clean and calming environment. I really appreciated how clean everything was. They even use non-toxic products for cleaning, which makes a big difference. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Heal Wellness, and I will definitely continue coming here for colonics and infrared sauna sessions, especially to see Susan! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a supportive and professional wellness experience.

Simple things like walking around the mall with my kids, standing too long while cooking, or even trying to sleep through the night would leave me hurting and exhausted. After trying so many different treatments with little to no relief, I decided to meet with Dr. Lan. She really listened to me in a way most doctors don't. She suggested I try the stem cell infusion. I was nervous, but I trusted her, and I'm so glad I did. Within just a few days, I noticed the difference -- I could get out of bed without that sharp stiffness, I made it through grocery shopping without limping, and for the first time in a long time, I slept through the night without waking up in pain. These might sound like small things, but to me they felt huge. On top of that, the spa she owns is beautiful and calming -- not cold or intimidating like most medical offices. From the moment I walked in, I felt cared for. Dr. Lan is not only an amazing orthopedic surgeon, but also one of the most compassionate doctors I've ever met. If you've been living with pain and feel like nothing works, please go see her. The stem cell infusion gave me back pieces of my life I thought I had lost. I'm beyond grateful.
