Had an appointment at 10:35am in a Saturday morning and arrived at 10:39am. When I came in, I told…read morethe lady at the front desk "sorry I'm a little late" and she acknowledged me. I checked in at the kiosk as usual and then I sat down thinking nothing unusual, but after 20 minutes of seeing people come in after me and leaving while I was sitting there waiting, I went up to the same lady I spoke to when I arrived, and after I asked why I wasn't being seen, the lady just asked me my name and said I was next. So I finally got seen at 11:04am, and I'm in a bad mood. Luckily I had Sarah, and she was super nice and understanding after I told her I was sitting in the lobby for over 20 minutes. After the quick procedure, I checked out with the lady at the front desk and I asked her what happened to cause me to wait so long and she said "sorry about that" and that I wasn't checked in. Really? Why does this place even have a kiosk? This was my second time here. My first time was a lot better, with friendlier staff and a much more efficient experience. This second visit was weird. Painfully long wait and not very friendly front staff, like they were just herding people in and out like sheep.

Every single nurse, esthetician and receptionist here is top tier. They embrace you like family. Their skill is unmatched. A special shout of to front desk, Gina. She is a bright light and one of the kindest and most joyful women you'll meet. Tanya is the most phenomenal esthetician and now my aunt and friends see her too. Jen and PK are always my fav for botox and filler. Last year PK did my lips which I've had done for years and I was obsessed! She used two different products and the result was natural and so beautiful! If you are nervous to try a new place I promise you this is the only place I would send my family and friends.

I started going there many years ago and had done botox and some lazer programs. About a year ago I decided I needed to do something to revamp my face and even went to see a cosmetic surgeon for a consult. Then I remembered Jenifer and how I could always trust her to know what to do to perk up my skin and made an appointment with her which was at least twenty years later, if not more, and I'm so happy that I decided to go back to her, as she is so knowledgeable and caring, and to keep the reason concise she is simply the best.

I had a terrible experience with Dr Laser. From the beginning, the staff (Chelsey) pressured me…read moreinto paying a large amount of money upfront before any services were even performed. The entire consultation felt more like a sales pitch than actual customer care. They push packages on you, pressure you to commit immediately, and make you feel rushed into paying before you've even had time to think things through. Once I decided I wanted to cancel after a few hours of thought, everything changed. Suddenly nobody would return my calls, and getting a response became almost impossible.l (including Kacie the supervisor at Santa Monica Site). I was ignored for over a week and only received a delayed email response instead of an actual phone call. Extremely unprofessional customer service. Be very careful before paying anything upfront here. They seem much more focused on locking people into expensive payments than providing good service or respecting their customers.

I've been seeing Jackie for about a year. Before that I dealt with mild, persistent acne and…read moreallergic reactions. I've tried other dermatologists and I just never had much luck. I decided to try again and saw Jackie. The difference in a couple months was really great! She listened to my concerns about harsh treatments and how I didn't have luck with tretinoin in the past. She noticed that I had multiple issues that needed to be resolved so she put me on a treatment plan. As I progressed I was able to phase out prescriptions once they were solved. My skin concerns of course were not solved overnight but I was happy to have someone who was able to guide me every step of the way. She listened to all my concerns and is an absolute pleasure to see. I've only seen Jackie so I can't speak for the other doctors. All the nurses I've dealt with have been helpful and professional. I will say I've never had the issues others have had in their reviews. Front desk is like any other medical front desk. Kind of cold but they get my appointments scheduled and send documents quickly. The wait times can be long so I like scheduling end of day. Parking is also not easy during the day but clears up later. Overall I highly recommend Jackie but give yourself time for parking/ wait times.

I've had multiple microneedling sessions with her and my skin has never looked better. She's incredibly knowledgeable, attentive and genuinely cares about her clients. She always sends me home with thoughtful extras to support healing and never fails to check in after appointments, which makes such a difference. On top of that, Ali gives an incredible facial and dermaplane. It was easily one of the most relaxing facials I've ever had and you bet I booked another one with her immediately. She's extremely thorough and precise in her work. You can feel how much pride she takes in what she does. You'll be in great hands with her, I promise. And if you're considering injectables, I highly recommend booking with Montana. She's fantastic and really listens to what you want. As a commercial actor, I need to maintain natural movement in my forehead and she's the first who has truly been able to achieve that for me. It's such a relief and I'm so happy I found her. Needless to say, Skin Spirit Manhattan Beach is an absolute gem made even better by the incredible team behind it.

I cannot begin to describe the joy and relief I feel after working with Christina Wagner. For most…read moreof my life, I struggled with deep insecurities regarding intimacy and my body due to the scarring and active abscesses caused by HS. What has been a constant burden since I was 18 was virtually resolved in a matter of weeks. It is truly unbelievable. I was initially terrified of laser hair removal for two reasons: shame and cost. I was embarrassed by the scars from years of abscess ruptures and feared being judged. I also worried if a "cosmetic procedure" was the right investment. My dermatologist gave me a choice: laser hair removal or a lifetime of daily medication. I chose to take a leap of faith with Christina, and it was the best decision I could have made. From our first meeting, I knew I could trust her. Christina answered all my questions about pain, timelines, and long-term expectations with gentle understanding. I never felt like she was pressuring me into purchasing as many sessions as possible. Just whatever I needed for my goals. During the procedure, she is incredibly professional--always checking in on my pain levels and describing exactly what she is doing, especially in more intimate areas. She creates a space where it is perfectly okay to voice anxiety or take a break. We talk throughout the sessions, and the time flies by so fast it feels like I've only just walked in before I'm finished. Because of Christina, I am reclaiming my life. She clearly loves her job and is dedicated to helping patients live without the limits of stigmatized body hair. Christina, you've opened doors for me that I never thought I would walk through, and I am eternally appreciative. The front desk staff at SkinSpirit is wonderful--always attentive and ready with a glass of water. While the immediate parking lot is small, I've never had an issue finding a spot. If it's ever full, there is a shopping center across the street that makes it very easy. I've already recommended SkinSpirit to several friends. We all just want the freedom to live without judgment, and Christina is helping me get there. Thank you so much, Christina!
