The best facial!!! My skin is super sensitive, but all the products here are clean so my skin loved it So refreshing. Melanie was amazing. You can tell this is her passion and she's educated on everything. I'll be back read more

I am very impressed. Melanie not only gave me a "glam bam" custom facial tailored to my needs but educated me on what service (step-by-step) she was giving me and how to maintain healthy, glowing skin. Her spa was 5 stars from aesthetics, equipment, to service. Loved my time with her in such a calming, sweet space. read more

Pamper Facial Shay Day yay !!! After getting an initial facial here with Vicki, I was excited to get another one, but with the wonderful business owner, Melanie. I've read nothing but great reviews about her and I wanted to meet this special lady in person. Who is this person responsible for making so many women feel beautiful, happy, and oh so satisfied? I booked a convenient day/time through their online user-friendly website. Easy breezy ! The day of my appointment, I was greeted by the lovely Melanie and she explained to me the type of facial she would be giving me. I appreciated her recommendations and expertise. She listened to my concerns and what I wanted to achieve. I had the following procedures done: 1. "DermaSweep Premium Infusion skin resurfacing treatment" -provides non-invasive exfoliation and skin revitalizing. It gently vacuums away dead skin and blackheads, while stimulating blood flow and encouraging your skin to produce new collagen. This is why I fell in love with this place ! The DermaSweep is amazing and you see instant results. After this process, your skin will be much smoother, clearer, healthier, and will also absorb products so much more effectively! I love how the company stands by their statements. I can vouch for them since I am satisfied with their products. 2. "Fire masque facial" -This intensive clinical treatment is designed to resurface the skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and deep clean blocked pores. It had an aroma of cinnamon which I loved. Quality ingredients are found in this mask such as: 18% unbuffered glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, malic acid, retinol, vitamin B3 and potent antioxidants, including green tea extracts. You will feel a tingling sensation on your face as it begins to work, but not irritating. This is always a concern of mine, because I have super sensitive skin. I was relieved that I didn't get an allergic reaction. Afterwards, my skin felt tighter and firmer, but best of all I was GLOWing. JLo move over !! Haha jk Melanie recommended I step up my skincare routine and try the 'HD Beauty Age Reverse System.' This is an effective skin care regimen specifically formulated to correct and prevent visible signs of aging and increase luminosity. This system has been clinically tested and delivers proven results with a combination of concentrated, medical grade actives and natural ingredients. Let's face it ladies..we're only going to get older so we really need to take care of ourselves, especially our skin. It's important to start early rather than later. Trust me..your skin will thank you in the long run. I'm excited to see the results after using this new skincare routine. Bonus: It was close to 'Black Friday' so I got a 25% discount ! Woohoo ! I had to take advantage of the great deal and you should too ! Overall, I am a very satisfied client and looking forward to the next Pamper Facial Shay Day ! read more

My skin has been changing from what I'm used to. I've been getting a lot of dry patches but still experiencing acne and redness popping up from stress and hormones. I actually started avoiding going out as much because you could really see the dry skin which was accentuated by my makeup. I even had friends ask me if I was ok or if I had recently been sunburnt because my skin was so dry in spots. I also felt like my pores could be seen from far away. I tried so many skin care lines and nothing seemed to help. My sister in law told me about HD Beauty and I thought I would give it a try before calling my dermatologist. I am so thankful for and really enjoyed my experience with Melanie at HD Beauty Skincare Boutique. She offered me a custom regimen from the HD Beauty Clinical Skincare. She even gave me a guide with which products to use and at what time(s) of day to use them. I stepped away from all the other skin care products I usually use so I would be able to tell if there was a difference. I experienced definite results with HD Beauty products. These products are so light and smooth and have a very pleasant aroma. I also love that there are no sulfates! I used it with the cleansing cloth and my makeup came off effortlessly every time leaving my face feeling soothed and refreshed. My skin loves this product and I love using it. I feel like I am pampering myself every time I use it. I am not one who ever likes to wash and prep my face. I always do it because you're supposed to. But with this product I enjoy taking care of my skin. It helps me relax before bed and I am excited to wash my face in the morning and get ready to embrace the day. I have noticed overall smaller lines and less acne and redness. I bring it down my neck and onto my sun damaged chest area those wrinkles are less visible too. My wrinkles on my face are way less visible. I sleep on my side and it has caused deep wrinkles next to my nose. Those are so much smaller now too. Love it!! My skin texture is so soft and supple. My friends stopped asking me why my skin was so dry and started asking me why I was glowing! Thanks again so much to Melanie. Loving my skin!!! (I attached a couple photos to show how much my skin is improved). So happy with less redness, acne and dry peeling skin to my friends saying I'm glowing. ) Thanks for the recommendation sis! read more

I am in love with the skincare products from HD Beauty Skincare Boutique! I've been using them for a month and my skin has made a complete 180! Fine lines around my eyes and mouth are not as noticeable, and the redness has lessened. And- the scent is so luscious! I love that even though this is a result-oriented skincare line, it still has plant-based ingredients! The moisturizer smells like a spa, and it really has saved my skin this winter! Perhaps the best part is that the products are so concentrated, you don't need much to cleanse, treat, and moisturize! These bottles are about the same size as drugstore brands, but you will see results and get more use per bottle as Melanie's products have a higher concentration of active ingredients. I'd give 10 stars if I could! read more

I had the TSB Signature Facial + Light Facial and I just want to say that it was one of the best facial experiences I've ever had! This was my second time getting a facial treatment with Melanie and she made me feel so relaxed and explained what she was doing throughout so I could understand the health benefits for my skin. I highly recommend Melanie and recommend this facial ! I'll definitely be coming back. read more

TL;DR : I highly recommend this place for those seeking beautiful and transformational results with their skin. It's not the foofoo feel-good facial (though it does that too) I see all over the place, that costs a lot but in the end wonder if you could have done it better at home. Her hands, products, and her state of the art equipment and latest tools are amazing. I've worked in the salon and spa industry a decade and have had my face under so many hands. Melanie is top notch. 1 on 1 attention in her beautiful spa, you won't believe until you walk into. Give her a call, already! **** Finally, a facial. It's been over 10 years since I've had a professional facial done. I remember because it was when I worked for a high-end medi spa before birthing my first child. She is now a 5th grader! I got my facials done at least once a month because, hey, it was an amazing perk being the Director of First Impressions for such a place. Then, as a SAHM, guess what was the first thing to go? Facials. I told myself I knew enough about them, I can find a cheaper way by DIY, determined to fix my own skin. Being in my 20s and broke, I was "doing fine" despite the yoyo act of my cystic Acne/dry/oily/sensitive skin that still comes around to this day. I have had some good years and I've had some really bad years (evidence displayed on my vlog). Now, way "over the hill" in age + a new year + child #3, I was determined to take my face more seriously. I saw my preexisting skin conditions met with the new things that come with age: sagging, wrinkles, sun spots. It was time to look for an aesthetician who knew the stuff I used to get in my old medi spa. I saw HD Beauty on Yelp over a year ago, it seemed too good to be true and I hesitated. It wasn't until friends mention of self care blah blah blah and seeing Melanie the owner, on tv, that I finally booked an appointment. It took some time due to my hubby and the baby schedule to align but I was finally in! Gahhhhhhhh!!! I wish I had not waited so long! The location is convenient, the place is beautiful and relaxing, and the experience was above my high expectations. She is friendly and professional. Answered all my questions throughout and told me what she was doing at every step. Yes, I wanted to know! She has facials posted on her website but every facial is customized for the clients' skin. (Fill out that skin test before going in to give her an idea before meeting.) For me, I needed major work and that she did. I recall that there was a machine that sucked out all of the stuff out of my skin and improve circulation. She said it's like a 4th gen microdermabrasion machine but even better. It allows products to go deeper and work best, gets circulation going under there and gets all the surface and deep gunk out. I was steamed, acne extracted, had a couple of masks on and had cold glass balls rolled all over my face and declotte. I let her work her magic and she did her customized-for-me Fire & Ice facial. She says that celebrities love to do this for its glowing effect with no down time. I definitely felt like one and I saw the results immediately after the facial. It's been 4 days since the experience and I am still glowing. I did take with me an AHA/glycolic cream that hits all my pain points with my skin, including my acne scarring from decades of that battle. There is no retinol or salicylic acid that is advised against nursing moms like me. It does sting a bit as I have sensitive skin but I use it with pride because I already see the benefits. It does go away after a few minutes. Melanie said I can cut back to once a day use but I'm staying at 2 times a day. It does smell wonderful... like a fresh baby! Glow baby, glow! I'm using it religiously between visits because yes, I'll be back! My skin has plumped up and happy in its bare and naked form (with only sunscreen on). The skin is happy and I'm happier! Look her up via "the skincare boutique" in north San Diego. Stop procrastinating like I did. Geterrrrrr done, already. Someone told me awhile back, "Today is the youngest you'll ever be again..," That may be true in age, but over time, I hope to look much younger than I do today. For it to happen, intervention is needed! In case you're feeling guilty like it's such a splurge, don't. People have their "thing" like fitness, purses, shoes, etc. For all that she does and use in the facials tailored specifically for each person in her hands, even price-sensitive me see that facials here is money well-spent. read more

Such great service and so sweet. Products are great for my sensitive skin and have helped my breakouts immensely. Highly recommend

I love the HD Beauty products. I received skin care products customized for my skin type. I use the salicylic face and body wash, pumpkin face mask, clarifying moisturizer, along with the resurfacing gel pads. The products really cleared up my skin in a short amount of time.

Melanie is an incredible esthetician, her ability to explain what is happening with my skin is perfect and always makes sense to me. She has a gentle touch that is relaxing and assuring. Melanie is always looking for a way to understand their skin and improvement with their regimens. She has introduced me to a wonderful skin care line that had improved my skin tremendously! Please do your skin a favor and go see her!! read more

Superb! My skin has never felt or looked better. I used the Groupon 3 microdermabrasion sessions. The first time it was a relaxing session, where she used a machine to get rid of dead skin and encourage "younger skin" to grow. The next session she let me have a peel. I've had "peels" before - but NEVER did my skin actually PEEL! Lol - I was shocked when I woke up to skin sloughing off my face. Almost ALL OF MY BROWN SPOTS just fell off! My skin looked 5 years younger! The last session, she did a combination of the two. I'm waiting to see how it looks... The BEST thing about HD Beauty is the owner. She has the sweetest, most amazing, patient, personality. I was so comfortable around her. The fact that she is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS was intimidating at first, but within minutes I felt thoroughly at ease. Best facial in SAN DIEGO! read more

I went there with my teen daughter after reading the reviews. We were there for one hour but 10 mins went in changing into the robe & the final 15 mins were spent her selling the HD products. The actual facial was only half hour. No neck or hand massage & she charged me $95. Interestingly, she didn't even use all the products on my daughters face that she was trying to sell. I knew waking in that she'll try to sell her products because who doesn't & I was ready to buy but the facial experience put me off as I felt she was just interested in selling her products & not much interested in helping my daughter with her skin issues. read more

I highly recommend HD Beauty Skincare products. I have been using HD Beauty Skincare Products for a little over 4 weeks. Melanie set me up with a skincare routine specifically for my skin. The products she recommended were HD Pure Balancing Cleansing Gel, HD Revitalize C-Serum and HD Perform Multi-Complex Creme. Let me tell you, I am extremely happy with my results. Over the past four weeks, I have watched my skin (Face & Chest) transform from dry, blemished and dull looking, to hydrated, soft and more youthful looking. I've felt so confident with my results that I no longer wear a cover up foundation or powder. Thank you HD Beauty for getting my skin back on track. I am truly grateful for my results. read more

Beautiful little spa boutique. It is nice and clean. It is so relaxing to come here. It honestly feels good to have stuff put on your face. I was suffering from a bad reaction from a face sheet mask and had a lot of irritation and pimples. The HD Beauty facial made it automatically improve, I could see results right after and even more the day before. I was told that in 10 days I would see the final results so I can not wait. I also got a clear touch lite and some extractions. Melanie is the sweetest and so knowledgeable on skin care. It started off with getting in to the robe and slippers. You can keep your pants on if you want, she puts product on your neck and upper chest area. The facial was long and she kept putting and taking off different products on to my skin. The items she puts on your face smelled good like herbs; with the exception of the enzymes but they are there to remove dead skin. Was the first time having a facial and was a bit nervous but it was such a good experience. My face felt so soft afterwards. I have noticed my skin improving and not as oily. read more

Melanie is an expert in her field and the most passionate advocate for skin care. I came to her with concerns of my dull and tired looking skin and she created a specific system for my needs. For about 6 weeks I've been doing a cleansing routine for both mornings and every evening as well as using the NuTone facial toning device 5 days a week. I could not be happier with the way my face is transforming! My skin looks and feels more youthful and no longer looks so tired and dull. I only wish I would have done this for myself much much sooner. I would 100% recommend Melanie for any skin care needs - she is as passionate about taking care of your skin as she is about her own. She will without a doubt transform your skin and is equally as kind a person as she is talented. read more

I moved back to San Diego (from NYC and prior to that in Beverly Hills) and having worked in the medical industry was accustomed to quality facials with top industry professionals. I had neglected my skin for a while and after asking around, found Melanie through a friend. I walked in to the beautiful boutique space and felt like I entered a little secret haven spa! Melanie took time to consult with me, address my concerns and provide guidance so I could achieve my skin goals. I was committed to putting my skin as a priority again. We set up a plan. My sun damaged, dull and tired skin was renewed after one facial treatment. I walked out feeling calm and relaxed with a beautiful glow and my skin was clean fresh and bright. Amazing! Effective and totally indulgent, yes please! I have done extractions, derma blading and peels with Melanie and they all have been epic personalized facial treatments. I started on a regimen she suggested for me tailored to my goals and knowing my skin behaviors and sensitivities noting that after 3-4 weeks I would start seeing a difference. I absolutely could see a HUGE difference and feel a HUGE difference in the look and texture of my skin. I was motivated and inspired. I love the organic HD Beauty line products! After the first 3 months, my skin had a complete transformation and from seeing her for regular treatments and using the HD Beauty line, the difference in my skin is that it is brighter, my pores are smaller, lines have minimized and my skin feels more firm and clean. I have literally gotten compliments regularly on my skin since using the HD Beauty line and feel more confident in my skin now than when I was in my early 30's. I have found the best facial and clinical esthetician (beauty expert) in town and am confident when I say, Melanie, her expertise and her HD Beauty product line has transformed my skin. Absolutely recommend, can't say enough great things! Total Fan! x read more

Love the HD Beauty skincare line. Currently using the face wash and serum. The face wash cleans my face without drying it out. The serum is moisturizing and leaves my skin feeling amazing and not greasy. The bottle is a good size compared to other brands and I use it twice a day and it will last me for awhile. read more

I found the service by Groupon, and was so impressed with Melanie and the results of that first facial that I signed up for a series. My face looks and feels so much healthier and better than it has in a long time. Melanie is wonderful, a great esthetician and a lovely woman, and her line of products is the best I have used. I'm thrilled to have found her and am very pleased with the results. Kathleen read more

Melanie really knows everything about the latest products and gadgets that help make your skin its best. Her skincare line is also amazing! I've been using it since she launched it and love every product! I HIGHLY recommend HD Beauty! read more

I have had a few facials in my lifetime, but nothing compared to the HD Beauty Facial. From the minute I arrived I was pampered. My services were tailored to my skin and when I say tailored, I mean, several different treatment steps that addressed my specific skin care concerns and needs. I had the HD Beauty facial, with the lemon zest enzyme treatment, dermasweep treatment, oxygen treatment and more. My skin felt ah-mazing afterward and it lasted. She has her own skincare line that is clinically proven. I was hesitant at first about trying the skincare, but after using the skincare for a week now, I love it! My favorite is the glowing serum that brightens your skin. After talking with Melanie I learned she is also trained in oncology skincare. As a cancer survivor, this gives me the confidence to know that Melanie has my very best interests in mind and knows what my skin needs as a cancer survivor. Melanie walks the walk and her excellence as an expert esthetician shines through. read more

STOP!!!! You deserve the BEST!!! Here it is!!!! Not just a facial an experience ~ a treat/ment....

Melanie is so amazing and knowledgeable! I trust her completely with my skincare routine and truly only use her products! I have seen such an improvement in my skin from the year and a half I have been working with her. She is worth every single penny and I can't wait for my next treatment every time. She recently hired an additional esthetician, Vicki, who is just as wonderful. She gives more availability and does a superb job as well. My acne scarred skin has improved astronomically and I couldn't be happier! read more

I have never received so many compliments on my skin as I have since I have been in Melanie's knowledgable hands and I have been getting facials regularly for over 15 years!!! I am 35 and while I do not have any major issues with my skin, Melanie has helped me to look more youthful and help reduce some of my pigmentation from sun exposure. Melanie's passion towards her services, enthusiasm and trustworthy character have made me feel comfortable enough to get a few mild to moderate chemical peels which were AMAZING and transformed my skin from something good, to something great! I probably would have never done that anywhere else. P.S. The products that she sells work better than any products I have used in the past and that is because she takes the time to only recommend only what is right for me....get the sunscreen. P.P.S. I will not be going anywhere else but to HD Beauty again! read more

From start to finish, working with Melanie was comfortable and easy. Go onto their website and easily schedule a consultation either in person or online. You will get a customized skincare regimen to suit your specific needs. Melanie was kind and knowledgeable! I have now been using my regimen for almost a month and see great results! My favorite by far is the HD vibrant retinal advanced +. I Highly recommend the whole experience. - @allthings_beautifully read more

Look no further! Melanie will provide you with the BEST facial you have ever received. It's not just a facial, it's an experience. I was a little nervous walking into her gorgeous boutique. She quickly calmed my nerves and she began working her magic. I loved how she educated me through every step. I received the custom HD Beauty facial. I loved every step but I really loved the LED photo facial with mask because there's no down time. When I left my appointment I felt radiant. My skin was noticeably brighter, tighter and I was glowing from the inside out! Melanie sent me home with the HD revitalize C-serum 7-in-1 Rejuvenator. I am using this product along with my normal skin regimen. I can already see a difference. I personally look forward to the light citrus smell each morning and night. I am eager to try other products. Melanie is the best of the best, you will not be disappointed! read more

After spending way too much money going to medical spas with little to no results and being down right embarrassed of my skin.. i finally found this hidden gem, I am a product junkie.. she has the best products, best machines with such a calming vibe.. I feel so comfortable talking to her and putting my trust into her, my cabinet was full of popular brands like IS CLINICAL, skin ceuticals, lamer, etc.. started to get smaller and smaller..and has been pretty much replaced 100% with her line.. with my skin looking better then I ever believed it could.. Melanie you are truly one of a kind I look forward to being a life long client! read more

I have been going to Melanie for about 9 months and by far she is the best esthetician! Her products are quality and have totally changed my skin. Her facials are magical! Literally the best facial I have ever had. Now to why I updated my review.. in the past month I have had three people comment on my skin. Not the typical, your skin looks great but 3 people actually commented how young I look! Like in the middle of a conversation the ages of my children came up and all 3 looked at me and said No Way. There is no way you could have kids that old. I know I have good genes but Melanie has made it even better. Love the results. read more

What an amazing experience! If you have skin issues and you are looking for skin Treatment at a Medical grade level, you should see Melanie!

I just started but I know she will get my skin to perfection, she is so knowledgeable! read more

I have been going to HD Beauty for almost 5 years now and absolutely love my treatments every single time. Melanie is honestly the best Esthetician in San Diego. And that's a huge compliment, considering that I, myself am an esthetician, as well. I have had the pleasure of working alongside Melanie and I have learned almost more from her, than I did in school. She loves to teach and educate all her clients, but what I especially love is that every single treatment is customized for the client. I have never had the same treatment twice in all these years. Most places give you the same cookie-cutter facial every time you go in, and even charge extra for the different modalities that she uses (microdermabrasion, LED, Ultrasonic, etc) but not at HD Beauty. You can't beat her prices, considering she has the best equipment on the market. Your skin will love her..and so will you!! read more
