Skincare By Candy

I’ve been going to Candy for 3 years now. I initially heard of her through a friend of mine who uses her service. I have dark spots on my face that no one has been able to treat to my satisfaction so I was desperate to try someone new who could help me.
I started a weekly regiment with candy and within one month I saw a noticeable difference, within 2 months my dark sports were much lighter and almost gone completely. She has help me tremendously and I honestly can’t thank her enough. I now only see her once a month and I can’t tell you how happy I am that I stuck with her all these years.
She is far more experienced then other estheticians I have seen in the past. My loyalty is with Candy, because she has helped me when no one else could.
I appreciate your expertise Candy, thank you again!

9÷21÷2012 appt — i started this review and abandoned because I was so frustrated/​annoyed. I am finally completing it today.
I AGREE WITH CINDY T! Where is a ZERO star?! My husband purchased a voucher online (KGB or Groupon or something) for a micro dermabrasion facial.
First flag? I called for an appt. Unprofessional; got the sense she was bothered by the call. She inquired about type of my voucher and then rudely directed me to her website to schedule.
The visit? AWKWARD. While I filled out paperwork she sat to the side silent and impersonal. She asked for the voucher and before I could hand it to her she said «Isnt it expired?» I replied ‘No, today is the last day.” She skeptically reviewed and we moved on.
Microderm process only completed on one side of my face; other side barely addressed; didn’t last 20 mins. The ‘extractions’ were painful and she «attempted» to remove the milia — which has left me with 3 wounds/​blemishes on my face; and before she started the facial, she felt I needed some sort of additional mask/​peel that — of course — would be extra, but not take any longer than the appt time allotted. Bogus! The whole procedure in no way lasted an hour — not even with the extra — I was short-​changed!
Never, ever go here. Now i’m skeptical of using a voucher to ‘test’ out a place to get regular facials. Waste of time & money. Boooo!

I bought the Groupon for 3 surgical lift. The place is right off the Carlsbad Village exit, very easy to locate. Candy worked on my face with very experienced hands. She is a PRO! I could see the result of the ‘lift’ immediately. I also liked the scheduling done online, easy to follow. I am looking forward to return soon.

I just came from getting a neck lift from Live Gorgeous and which I didn’t have to go back the lady really burned me :30 minutes later and I’m still hurting. When my daughter took me to do a face lift by Candy I didn’t or burn Candy made my face feel cool, moisturized and smooth and never gone outdoors without make up but my skun felt so good after the treatment that I didn’t want ti ruin the texture by applying make up so I went out to dinner with out it. So I give Candy a five star and look forwar to more treatments with Candy.

I saws results right away! Her techniques are like Magic in a bottle :) She offers a large range of services and they are very reasonable prices. The place is clean and comfy! She has great scheduling and customer service. I felt very comfortable and was glad I got a steal with her Groupon Deal.
I have now completed 2 out of my 3 procedures and I feel and look like a million bucks! When I asked questions about some other services she was informative and gave a honest opinion about what she thinks would be good for me. There is no pressure with more services which makes me feel like this good be the beginning of a beautiful skincare relationship :)

I was told I would get a freebie if I wrote a positive review so beware of some of the breathlessly positive reviews you read here. My 3 Perfector treatments went fairly well (frequent changes of dates by Candy) but Candy is hard sell and admitted that to get a «facelift» effect 2 – 3 per week were necessary and she would make a special price of only $ 150 each for me. You can do the math. It’s cheaper to just get the facelift. Candy does lack refinement and a delicate touch and the salon is minimal. Can’t say I would recommend it, and you need to be able to resist continual solicitation to buy.

Candy did a very good job while I was using my perfector groupon. She treated me just like a regular paying client and really took her time. I felt nurtured and my skin looked great and plump. There was definitely no bruising or risk of it. The treatment felt very relaxing and I could have fallen asleep on her table. What a deal for a groupon!

Just had my second of 2 groupons for the nonsurgical face lift, and my skin feels wonderful. The whole procedure was painless. Thank you Candy! My skin feels young again.

I never ever ever thought this would happen to me but she HARD SOLD me a chemical peel.
It was my first chemical peel and she pushed on additional, stronger acne peels.
I later found out this was highly unethical and totally unheard of.
Ater my treatment my face turned bright red and stayed that way for a month and A RASH DEVELOPED FOR OVER 3 MONTHS. I HAD TO GO TO THE DERMATOLOGIST TWICE.
My face was also constantly itchy and irrataed even though it has been over 6 months now.
CANDY IS A NICE WOMAN but the facility is not a proper skincare place and I DISCOURAGE EVERYONE FROM GOING THERE.

If I could give less than 1 star I would. I just left an appointment with Candy, and I have never walked out on an apointment in my life. I bought the 3 Perfector Nonsurgical Facelifts as a Groupon. The first one left me so bruised, I asked if I could exchange the next 2, and she refused. I thought that was kinda weird and rude, but oh well, what do I know? She said to try it again and she would be gentler. Same result. I said I was not coming back for a third, and was surprised when she offered a facial on the third appointment, so I agreed to come back. Before the scheduled facial, she called me and said «where are you?» I reminded her I had changed my appointment to September 13. She said that she had to «start writng stuff down». Duh yea.
So, I make the time to go in, get settled and she starts the damn Perfector machine. I reminded her of all of our conversations, as well as the fact that I had eyelash extensions and to not rub my eyes with the cleanser. 3 seconds later she forgot that too and tried to wipe my eyelashes off!
Well, she did not remember that I was there for the facial, a «fair exchange» is what I wrote down after her call to me previously. She said «oh no, I would never offer that.» I showed her my paperwork, and she still wanted $ 30 more. I was so disgusted I started to leave, she relented, but nastily. I left, cleanser on my face and all. UNBELIEVABLE. It is not the $ 30, it is the fact that she is looney toones and never remembers anything she says. Plus she has the attention span of a knat.
Goodby Skincare by Candy. Dont frequent this forgettable 1 woman spa.

I wish I could give Candy 10 stars! She is a skin perfectionist and has really helped me to get ready for my wedding even though I had a very limited time frame. She knows her stuff and has a ton of equipment and techniques to help anyone who wants to glow or has problem skin. I will be continuing my skin care with her after the wedding. Highly recommend!!!

Candy has been helping me get my face wedding-​ready and I have to say that her knowledge and expertise have helped my skin far surpass my expectations of where I thought it would be right now. I drive an extra 40 inutes out of my way (I moved out of the area) to keep up with our monthly routine. She is a joy to work with on top of everything!

Best facial I have ever had. You can tell Candy loves what she does, skilled, and is filled with a wealth of knowledge. I highly recommend her.
