The spa was founded by Shanelle Lopez and, according to its home page, has more than ten years of experience. The business describes itself as the premier beauty spa in San Diego and says it has won awards; these are its own claims. It describes its environment as relaxing and welcoming.
Its stated core values are integrity, quality, inclusivity and empowerment. The mission is to offer beauty services that bring out natural features and help clients feel good about themselves.
Skin services include facials, Hydrafacial, dermaplaning, lymphatic drainage massage and microneedling, along with waxing, manicures, pedicures, Gel X and acrylic nails, and nail art. Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent synthetic lashes applied one at a time to natural lashes; appointments typically take 1.5 to 2 hours. The business states lashes last up to four to six weeks, with touch-ups recommended every two to three weeks, and asks clients to keep them dry for the first 24 hours. Waxing results are stated to last up to three to four weeks.
Scar and stretch mark work includes scar camouflage, scar revision, stretch-mark revision, acne scar treatment, wrinkle treatment and vitiligo treatment using micropigmentation. The salon describes these treatments as non-invasive with minimal downtime. Weight loss services include semaglutide, Ozempic, hormone therapy, vitamin injections and body sculpting using cryolipolysis and radiofrequency; the salon describes its weight loss treatments as personalized and says its treatments are safe, FDA-approved and designed to complement lifestyle changes.
Training is offered in paramedical tattooing and scalp micropigmentation, in small classes with live models. Scalp micropigmentation training covers pigment color theory, needle selection, skin anatomy, natural hairline design, consultation and aftercare, and business and marketing. Paramedical tattoo students receive a kit that the salon says is valued at over $4000, and financing plans are available. People may apply to be training models free of charge, though applying does not guarantee selection.
The team keeps up with beauty trends and techniques through regular training and workshops, with the stated aim of enhancing natural features.
The business describes its setting as relaxing and welcoming.
