About

Savvy Skin Spa is run by Nicole Minder, a licensed esthetician who founded and owns the studio in Solana Beach. Her career began in 2000 as a patient coordinator and aesthetician for plastic surgeons in La Jolla. She later moved away from plastic surgery offices toward a spa-based approach centered on facials and massage for skin rejuvenation.

The menu is organized into Advanced Facial Treatments, Essential Facials, Peels, Packages and Consultations. Advanced facials include the Beauty Bomb, the Beauty Bomb Express (a 25-minute version sold as a series of six), the Flawless Facial, the Signature Lift and Glow Facial, the Triple Crown Facial and the PLLA Glass Facial. Essential facials include a Maintenance Hydra Facial and a Clinical Clarifying Facial for clients addressing acne. Peels are offered as the Designer Peel and the Glow and Go range, with ProCell Microchanneling listed separately without a price.

Packages bundle several treatments: a brow wax with dermaplaning and a Hydrafacial, a Designer Peel or Glow and Go series, a Glow and Go with Dermaplane and Booster series, and a Microcurrent Facial series of three. Consultations with a qualified esthetician are available to talk through skin concerns and map out a customized plan; no price is listed for these.

Facial clients must be adults, as the spa does not accept minors for facials. The spa's Google rating is shown on its site as 4.9 stars from more than 110 verified reviews. Gift certificates can be bought online in fixed amounts of $5, $10, $20 or $50, or in a custom amount.

Blends traditional aesthetics, holistic alternatives and medical expertise into customized treatments, and keeps up with newer skincare technologies.
