Serenity Wellness Spa — Local services in San Francisco

My visits to Serenity are mini-vacations. As soon as I walk in, I feel relaxed -- soothing music, warm and comfortable decor, hot tea, and a friendly welcome from the staff.

I've been lucky enough to get facials from Sharon for the last two years. And they only get better! She recently revamped the spa, renamed it, and added the Cinq Mondes line of botanical products. They smell amazing, and work magic too. In addition to her knowledge of skincare, she is a health and wellness coach who brings a holistic approach to beauty (from the inside out).

Every facial with her is customized to the state of your skin on that day. Today mine was dry and flaking a bit (must be the cold weather), even though in general my skin tends to be oily. To combat the dryness, she started with an oil-based cleanser. Then the steam, extractions and other steps in a typical facial (not sure everything that's happening, just that it works wonders)...she added some micro-dermabrasion to exfoliate and prep my skin for hydration. She mixed a special gel mask for me, which stayed on for 20-30 minutes. In the mean time, she massaged my neck and shoulders, feet (with hot towel treatment), and even my hands (which really needed it with all the work I do on a keyboard). Heavenly!

All I know is that when I look in the mirror afterwards, I look 10 years younger! My skin is glowing, brighter and the fine lines are gone. There's a dewy freshness to my face that I wish I could wake up to every morning. Whenever friends see me afterwards, I get compliments on my complexion (usually without a stitch of makeup)...which is a sure sign that the facials are awesome!

Besides facials, I come to Serenity for deep tissue sports massage from Nakia. I like it with very strong pressure (she is used to massaging NFL players), and it hurts so good! I'm usually sore from surfing, hiking, biking or yoga, and I need someone who can work out the kinks. She is a PRO...and knows how to get to the hard to reach spots to release muscles and fascia and facilitate movement. Highly recommend her...

I have been to this spa before. I have gotten one of the best massages as well as an excellent body treatment. Then COVID happened and I fell of the wagon with this one. It is 2023 and Wow!! I have been looking for a place in the city where I can get a good facial. Yes I have settled and been like this is decent enough without seeing results. Because I am stupid and thought all places were equal and they are not. I got introduced to Epionces through a trusted skincare friend who I value her opinion. I went on the website and found that Serenity Wellness Spa was one of their distributors. I scheduled an appointment as I have been here before and I am telling you, you want to book an appointment here. Nanthida is the real thing. She is a diploma esthetician. I am not sure what that means but I asked. The initials are CIDESCO. It is the like getting a higher education in skincare. Lets just say from the get go I knew this was going to be a good facial. The products Serenity Wellness Spa sells and promotes are top of their class. The ambiance is calming. The location is clean, welcoming, and the place where I want to get all of my wellness and self care done at. This location also has an ND . That is a Naturopathic Medicine doctor. I have met her before at a different location she is worth looking into. If you are in town and skincare is your thing, this is the...

My skin and my health depend on this spa.

Sharon is so knowledgeable and expert in her abilities and cache of wisdom. She takes the time to educate me, shows the patience and great concern to walk me through detoxes that take weeks, follows up with me, is always cheerful and positive, and is the most reassuring facialist/massage therapist/health coach I have ever worked with.

The spa is lovely and clean. The location is fabulous with street and lot parking half a block away. And there are 2 juice shops across the street to keep me motivated and wanting good health after I leave Serenity Wellness Spa.

I have now been going to the spa for years and would not switch. The first time Sharon did my brows, I barely noticed she was so deft and delicate. Perfection. My facials always leave me relaxed and refreshed and my skin in much much younger condition. When I do a detox program with her, I never eat so much or so well!

Each time at the spa is a delight; each time is an education; each time is a step up in my self-awareness and intentional wellness. May blessings be heaped on Sharon and her spa staff for the great changes she has helped me achieve in my life. I'm a better person inside...
