While in L.A. recently, I wanted to pamper myself and escape for an afternoon to de-stress from work. A colleague recommended SkinGuru Spa in Santa Monica, so I followed her advice. I am SO glad that I did. From the moment you walk in, you feel an instant sense of calm. The studio is serene, beautifully designed with a minimalist yet warm vibe that immediately helps you relax. I started to feel my stress melt away as I walked through the door.
Michelle, the owner, is an absolute gem. She’s incredibly professional yet so down-to-earth, and she has this magical way of making you feel completely at ease. I’ve been to a lot of spas over the years, but the personalized attention she offers is exceptional. She takes her time to really listen to your skincare needs, never rushes, and explains everything so clearly. Her deep knowledge of skincare is evident in every treatment she offers, but what I love most is how she combines that expertise with such a calming presence.
Her facials are so good, but what is next level is the Japanese head spa treatment. IYKYK. Michelle has this way of making you feel like you’re the most important client in the world.
If you’re looking for a place to unwind, be pampered, and leave glowing (inside and out), I can’t recommend SkinGuru enough. It's truly a sanctuary for anyone who needs a little break...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of experiencing the incredible skincare offerings at this hidden gem in Santa Monica! Michelle is a small business owner, and you can immediately tell that she has placed a tremendous amount of thought and care into what she offers. HydraFacial treatments, red light technology, cleansing masks, aromatherapy, and relaxing massages are just some of the options available at SkinGuru Spa. I was unsure whether or not I should go, but I was convinced by friends who had been thrilled with their results, and I’m happy that I did. Michelle was very knowledgeable about various treatments and made a point to listen to my concerns and provide different courses of action to address my skincare needs. This is what I loved most about my experience: her integrated approach to skincare. By offering a variety of treatments that can be tailored to address your specific situation, I felt like a holistic solution was developed and presented. I can go and wander the aisles of a convenience store and blindly take a chance on something, or I can work with SkinGuru and feel confident in my efforts to develop healthier skin. SkinGuru Spa is definitely a place where you can experience cutting-edge skincare technology, relaxation, and a profound sense...
Read moreI cannot say enough good things about my experience at SkinGuru Spa. My 75 minute Scalp Nirvana Max treatment was deeply relaxing and just totally blew me away. Michelle has a truly soothing touch, and intuitively knew exactly the right pressure to use when cleansing and massaging my scalp. I really liked the hair products she used as well. My hair looked and felt great when it was over. It was so cool how she examined my scalp at the beginning and end with a microscope. Just amazing to see the before and after and how much cleaner my scalp was. I loved every minute of my treatment, and the 30 minute mini facial portion was simply incredible after all of the scalp massaging and hair washing. Her facial massage made my skin feel so alive and left me looking very fresh and healthy. The environment was cozy and warm and Michelle’s personality was bright and sparkling the entire time. I am not someone who generally tries things like this, but I had heard so many good comments about Michelle from friends, so I gave it a whirl. I really enjoyed myself, and now I know what I am giving one of my friends for her birthday. I highly recommend SkinGuru Spa, and I’m so glad I got the full max version of the Scalp Nirvana service. I didn’t...
