Best Spa Salons In San Mateo

“Sheila’s hydrafacials are my favorite. She is very knowledgeable and informative when it comes to skincare. I came in with a lot of acne on my face, and she recommended products for me and wrote me up a skincare routine. In 6 months, the texture of my face was much more smooth and the acne had cleared out. Amazing results!!“

“Vanessa is very professional, helped me solve my skin problem very efficiently, and she is very patient.“

“I've had maybe two expensive facials in my entire life... at least I thought I had. After a ton of research on yelp and through various sites, I decided on Halee based on reviews and prompt availability. Now I finally learned what a real facial is. Let's break this down by stars. Star #1: Scheduling: prompt, clear and concise communication. Was super easy scheduling an appointment. Star #2: Atmosphere. Quaint, light, relaxing and inviting. It's a medium sized room within a facility and everything was cute, sassy, organized, and super clean. Minimalistic and concise equipment that all looked modern and updated. Bed was extremely comfortable, heated, and there was a proper place to put your things. Sudden extreme comfort coming here. Naps are a risk factor. Star #3: flexibility. I didn't know exactly what I needed, but I was able to schedule 3 services: facial (of some kind. I was originally thinking microdermabrasion) lash lift, and teeth whitening (wasn't sure if I needed it). There was no charge in changing the services I ended up receiving. Star #4: knowledgable. Halee impressed me as soon as I arrived. She told me what to expect and when I admit I was naive to facials, skin care etc. she told me she would take a look at my skin and let me know what she thought. The way she explained everything made me realize the magnitude of how much there is to know about products, skin, reactions, results and more. I have never in my life been more fascinated about skin care and the depth of the cosmetology world. It's amazing. Star #5: results. Halee advised me not to do the microdermabrasion facial because my thin skin would react negatively and because my concerns of hyperpigmentation were mild. Instead she gave me a cleansing facial and in the end... my face looked waaaaay more even toned, clear, bright and vibrant. I felt I looked 5 years younger afterwards and my face felt so hydrated and healthy the remainder of the day. Even days later it feels great and I've received many compliments already. In general, people often tell me I look 10 years younger than I am, but now I really feel like I do which has been such a positive lift to my confidence. I literally did not know a facial could do that. Speaking of lifts, the lash lift is something I will 100% continue to do. Instantly larger more open and youthful eyes. I look forward to returning for my next one in a couple of months. As for the teeth whitening, Halee didn't recommend it. She said my teeth are fairly white from the products I use at home already so results from the treatments would probably be minimal. Which leads to the final star.. Star #6: Genuineness. I wish I could give a 6 star rating because Halee truly deserves it. She absolutely wants the best for her clients and will go above and beyond to care for them, advise them, and get to know them. I was (and still am) very naive to skin care, however Halee has helped me so much by pointing me to products (not upselling but actually making recommendations for my type of skin) and I am so appreciative to have an expert in skincare I can turn to. So so so grateful I met her and I look forward to working with her again and again. Thank you Halee!!!“

“I go to Susan for waxing. She's pleasant, fast and reasonably priced. Convenient location.“

“A tranquil and inviting spa - tucked behind beautiful landscaping and a heritage oak tree, La Estetica is the only place I go for facials. Emilka is lovely, offers many options and explains them well. The facials are both relaxing and invigorating, which is a great combination. Emilka also introduced me to the Cosmedix product line. It is a bit pricey but only a tiny bit is needed and so it lasts a very long time. Go now and enjoy!“

“I absolutely loved this place!
Everyone here is so professional and friendly. I just started my facial treatment with them, and I was quite nervous about anything involving my face. They were incredibly patient, taking the time to explain everything I needed to know. They encouraged me to start with simple steps until I felt comfortable with my treatment.

I can't say enough good things about this space! I'm also doing laser hair removal here; I've been getting laser treatments for over four years now, just twice a year for maintenance or minor touch-ups. Their laser is amazing—completely painless!

If you're looking for a place for facials, Botox, or body treatments, I would 100% recommend this clinic!“

“I like to get a massage every so often from a different place. I was hesitant to try her but gave it a shot. Started off rough as the lady charged me twice and had to wait a few minutes until another lady came to straighten it out. They did and I went to the room and got prepared for the massage. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The lady gave me a very thorough massage and I was happy. She worked my back well as I am very stiff from Parkinson’s. Was one of the best massages I have received in the last year. I recommend this place and will be back.“

“I attended a sewing class this evening. I enjoyed it very much. Jill has a beautiful space and story. If you are interested in sewing or design, I would highly recommend.“

“I had the pleasure of meeting Selenia while out running errands recently. I mentioned that I was looking for an esthetician for my son as he was experiencing severe acne. He was using different topicals from his dermatologist but it was not working and we were at the stage of considering Accutane, which I did not want him to have to do. Selenia listened closely, never revealing that she was an esthetician with over 26 years of experience. I thought she was just a friendly fellow shopper! After sharing she gently mentioned that she would be willing to have my son come in for an evaluation at no charge and give me her opinion. Three days later we went to Selenia's Skin Boutique at 7:00pm on a Monday. There was no rush and she created the space for my son to settle in and get comfortable. After her evaluation, she was confidence that she could help and felt that he could avoid using Accutane. My son's skin looked much better after the first facial. We returned two weeks later and she continued to work on the various kinds of congestion including what was inside of his ears. He is back for his third facial and everything is moving in the right direction! I feel confident that Selenia will help my son continue to resolve his acne, eliminate scaring and teaching him how to care for his skin, including when to see a professional. I am incredibly grateful for Selenia's Skin Boutique. Finally, I want to mention that the prices are very reasonable, hours extremely accommodating, and there is absolutely no rush. Selenia is a true gem. If your child is having issues with acne I highly recommend giving her a call.“

“Laurie is the best hair dresser I’ve ever had. I refuse to have my hair touched by anyone else.“

“Shamrock Day Spa is a wonderful oasis for our family to go and get the very best massages. We always look forward to Elaine and her staff, as they give the most relaxing massages. They are nice and professional and a good value.“

“I came here once before about 8 years ago for a massage. I don’t know why I remembered they had prenatal massage but I did. Fast forward to now, I’m pregnant with my first and she is killing my sciatica!
There is only one therapist that does prenatal massage and she is pure MAGIC!
Upon arrival, the check in sheet is thorough so you are guaranteed to receive the type of service you prefer. I love massage therapy and as a preschool teacher of 16 years, rely on self care to keep me going. Dacy is by far the best therapist I’ve ever had! This was my third time back and this last massage included many firsts. First, I was so relaxed I almost fell asleep! I’ve never felt so relaxed. Second, no one has ever been able to touch/massage my feet. I am wayyyyy too ticklish and natural body movements kick in… literally. I can’t control my legs and feet and someone is bound to get hurt. Lastly, I was bit by a dog and have nerve damage from the injury. It is painful when touched certain ways. Not for Dacy, she was able to work the damaged tissue without pain and now I have more range of motion with that muscle tissue. She is able to pin point problem spots and use just the right amount of pressure to help relax and relieve pain. A combination of targeted muscle work with a full body work up. AMAZING!!! Dacy, thank you for being this pregnant mama’s savior!!“

“Had a great massage and it was very nice to deal with the staff there. Was not expecting such a great massage but I was glad I did. Made an appointment and the knew who I was when I walked in the door. Massage bed was very comfortable.“

“Great customer service! Y Salon went above and beyond to rectify a situation I brought to their attention. I'd definitely recommend going to this fully service salon, just ensure your instructions are fully understood before services begin.“

“The massage was average. I was a walk in so I'm glad they were able to accommodate me. Price was average compared to the rest of the massage places in the area. I would return because it's so close to me and it wasn't a bad massage. I saw a free sauna sign but I didn't inquire and it wasn't offered. The vibe was definitely relaxing based off the circumstances but I don't know if it's the most relaxing place I've ever been to“
