Sweet Skin Studio Corona Del Mar

Juli Marracino is absolutely the best.
She’s a very knowledgeable business owner and she is so very sweet!
She came into my work today buying some frozen Greek yo girt and as soon as she came through the front door we hit it off!
She gave me many solutions to some skin care problems that myself and my brother are currently going through.
She made me feel very confident that there still is a cure and she has the solutions.
Very great person.
I would recommend Juli to all my family and friends in need of answers for skin care.
I will be paying my visits very soon!

I have been going here for about 2 years now and I LOVE it! I used to get waxed regularly and coming from someone who has very sensitive skin, I was never ecstatic about my results because it still gave me some irritation, bumps and ingrown hairs– yet, it was much better than the alternative of shaving.
I had heard about sugaring and so I decided to do some research and stumbled upon Skin So Sweet. My first time I met Jules, the owner. I absolutely love her! She made me feel so comfortable and spent the whole time chatting with me. She informed me about sugaring and why it’s better than waxing. The ingredients are all natural, hence better for your skin. The «sugar» seeps into your pores, pulling from the root up and decreasing chances of ingrowns and it pulls in the same direction that your hair grows, also reducing chance of ingrowns AND any irritation.
I 100% agree with all of this after being a regular «sugar-​er»! So much better than waxing, results last longer and it is much less painful. I have never had any irritation or ingrowns and have never left unsatisfied! Never thought I’d see the day where I had a completely smooth bikini line, so I’m thrilled!
I have seen Jules, Amy and Dominique– all 3 are nothing short of amazing. You can’t go wrong with any of them. I have referred all my girlfriends and my mom– no one has a bad thing to say! If you are looking for quality hair removal, this is your place!

I love getting sugared here! Dominique is the best. Not only is she very friendly, sweet and warm, she makes you feel very comfortable. She is quick and gentle. I wouldn’t say it is painless, but hurts less other sugaring appointments I have experienced. I highly recommend seeing Dominique.

I have been going to sweet skin studio for almost two years now and I absolutely love it! I have made appointments with each of the gals that work there and I think they are all amazing. They’re professional, experienced, and super sweet! I always feel very comfortable when I am there which is important! Sugaring is not painful at all and something that I recommend to everyone. The results are amazing. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I live in Orange but driving to Corona Del Mar is definitely worth it!

I have been coming here for almost a year now to sugar my legs and Dominique and Julz do great jobs. Dominique gets right back to you if you need to change your appointment and if one girl isn’t available someone else will be there. Dominique is quick, knows her stuff and super nice! I won’t go anywhere else around here. You want girls that are licensed in sugaring and know what they are doing!

Juli and her team are THE BEST for SUGARING and the ORIGINAL PIONEER’S OF SUGARING IN NEWPORT BEACH. I have been going to Juli for the past 5 years and I always feel like I’m so taken care of with her. This isn’t some «make money» business like a wham, bam, now pay us like some other local sugaring shacks (not saying names). Juli and her team are the WONDERFUL! Her prices are competitive and you will leave beyond happy with their services. BOOK TODAY! :))))

If you value your time, I definitely wouldn’t make an appointment here. My first appointment last month had to be rescheduled which was okay. I get it, things happen. Inconvenient, but no big deal. Today, I showed up for my 10 o’clock facial and my aesthetician never showed. I booked this appointment over two months ago. I’m extremely annoyed because I drove almost 30 minutes each way. I definitely could’ve done something better with my Sunday morning. Not a fan.

I had my first ever wax/​sugar hair removal experience the last week of December. Prior to this appointment I had undergone laser, electrolysis, etc. — pretty much everything but waxing or sugaring.
I was referred to Sweet Skin by a good girl friend and I am SO glad she sent me their way. My appointment was with Dominque and she was amazing! After explaining that it was my first time, she made sure to talk me through every step of the process (which I loved personally).
Now in regards to the actual sugaring experience — I love it! Well as much as one can love having their hair yanked out. I really liked that it isn’t the scalding hot experience that I hear comes from waxing and the regrowth has been minimal compared to shaving (yay!).
I am definitely hooked and cannot wait for my next appointment! I will definitely not be shaving anymore :) Thanks Dominique!

Ok, so I am beyond obsessed with Sweet Skin CdM. I love it so much that I debated for months about posting on Unilocal because I love having this hidden little gem all to myself. Buttt, the girls at the studio are just so sweet and amazing that it’s only fair to boost their stars on Unilocal and give them a review.
I have been coming to Sweet Skin since it was «Skin So Sweet!» I love the owner of Sweet Skin, Juliann. She is just adorable and always accommodating. I have been coming to Julianne for bikini sugaring for over a year and I just adore her. She is really friendly and makes you feel super comfortable. She is well trained in sugaring and my results always last double the time compared to waxing. I have extremely sensitive skin and cannot wax anymore, so after I found Sweet Skin and experienced sugaring, I will never wax or thread ever again. It doesn’t irritate my skin like wax does and removes the entire hair without breaking them at the skin.
A month ago I took a «first available» appointment for bikini sugaring and had Dominique. I just loveeee her! She is the daughter of Juliann (owner), so she is trained by the best of the best. She gets all of the tiny hairs and ingrown, she’s seriously amazing. She’s super sweet and easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable, just like her mom! She also taught me the best trick to reduce ingrowns: moisturize the area with coconut oil! I also use PFB roll-​on ingrown reducer per her suggestion and I seriously never have ingrowns anymore.
I have never had a negative experience of any kind as Sweet Skin. Everyone I’ve been sugared by is very professional and sweet and I love that the girls never push products or force you to do anything you don’t want. I love that they’re local and even have a little mother daughter duo in the studio! When it comes to sugaring, all of the estheticians at Sweet Skin know their stuff, they are the real deal! If I could give them more stars on Unilocal,I would because I absolutely love them!

Had an amazing dermal infusion with Dominique. Love the spa atmosphere inside & that the office is tacked away from the busy highway 1.
Also, I got an amazing deal package! And the best part, Sweet Skin is using OSMOSIS skin line (I’m new to it but I’m seeing good results already with DNA repair)!
Thank you for being sweet and honest! Cant wait for my next appointment!

I’ve been getting sugared at Sweet Skin for several years now and have always been satisfied. The studio is currently one room in quiet Corona del Mar, which makes for a very relaxing session. They are currently working on plans to expand, and I’m sure they’ll find a way to maintain the intimate setting.
Amy, Dominique, and Julz are all very friendly and professional, and the online scheduling makes it easy to set up an appointment. Now, I’m not going to tell you that any form of hair removal is painless, but this is definitely the best place to go for getting it done efficiently and manageably.

Today I had my first sugaring appointment with Amy, and I am beyond happy with the results. I have never gotten waxed or sugared before and was a little nervous. I expressed my concerns and Amy immediately put me at ease. I won’t lie, getting your bikini area done hurts in the moment. When I needed a few seconds breather Amy was very understanding and encouraging. I have been told the first time is the worst and that it gets less painful each time. As I said earlier I am thrilled with the results and have booked my second appointment.
I highly recommend Sweet Skin Studio CDM for anyone wishing to get sugared. The salon is very private (one client allowed in at a time) and is very clean. They are a bit on the pricey side, but it’s worth it. They do quality work and you also have to take into account the location, CDM isn’t cheap. I Hope this helps anyone considering using them in the future.

My experience at Skin So Sweet was great! Sugaring is way less harsh than waxing! The ladies are very sweet and made me feel very comfortable!

It was my first time here and I got a facial, arm and underarm wax. I was new to the sugaring process so I was really excited to try something new, especially since it claims to be less painful. I would disagree, I think the pain level is about the same as waxing. If anything, waxing does a better job of removing hair than sugaring and is faster. The only difference is that waxing is really hot right when it touches the skin but that quickly goes away. I walked away with some random spots of hair on my arms that were missed and I don’t know if that was due to the sugaring process or just lack of attention to detail. I noticed it too late so it wasn’t worth coming back. Also, I normally get some red bumps after waxing and I got those again today (they go away after a couple of hours) so I don’t think sugaring is any better than waxing.
As for the facial, it was good but I haven’t ever gotten one before so I can’t really compare. I did leave with my skin feeling really soft and slightly red, but I think thats normal with a facial.
Overall, it was a good place to try out but I don’t think I would come back here for sugaring. I would come back for a facial though

Wonderful experience. It was my first time waxing with a professional… Ever! I usually wax myself and now I am hooked on going to this place to have it done professionally. I got the groupon for a bikini and added a few services on top of that. Best and most relaxing experience! I usually grow back within a week and a half but I am still smooth sailing! And it doesn’t look like any growth is coming in any time soon! SUGARING IS THE WAY TO GO!
UPDATE!
It’s been almost 4 weeks and I AM STILL SMOOTH! WHAT THE HECK!!! IS THIS NORMAL FOR SUGARING??? If so, I am seriously a lifelong customer… that’s if any hair even comes back! WOW, SERIOUSLY.

I have no complaints about this place whatsoever!
Like everyone else, I got a deal for a bikini sugaring on Groupon (total steal). This place is very hidden and small. One customer at a time which I respect. They have a room with the front desk the table I lay on. Other room had a washing machine. Filled out some paper and then I stripped. I really hoped she locked that door though. If she didn’t, whoever chooses to walk in would get an eye-​ful.
Amy was amazing. Super friendly and helpful. She kept conversation with me so that took my mind off of the pain that she was inflicting on me. Sugaring was amazing because it was warm and it didn’t hurt as much as I expected. I really did expect the worse and for me to cry bloody murder. Whole process only lasted 30 mins. Nice…
After process was done, you get a nice set of panties. Really wish I can get a bunch more groupon deals on this.

I went here because I was told by my cousin that sugaring is more effective (and painless) than waxing. She was right!
Found a groupon for 2 (lady part) sugaring sessions, which is why I gave it a go and went to the Corona Del Mar location.
It was the best decision I ever made in a long time. I’ve gotten it done 3 times already and will never go back to Brazilian waxing ever again after having experienced sugaring. I don’t think anyone else should either.
I saw 2 different sugaring experts during my 3 visits and they were both amazing! They made me feel extremely comfortable. I will be back again, but am hoping and praying for another groupon to come my way.

I just had my first sugaring experience today due to Groupon (thank you so much) with Julie. I absolutely loved the whole experience minus the fact that getting a PlayBoy Style Brazilian isn’t exactly painless, but it was so much better than getting waxed.
The place is so cute right off of Heliotrope in Corona del Mar; next to the Coffee Bean. It’s a one bedroom and very cozy and comfortable. The decorations in the room are adorable and you really feel safe in that space.
When I got there I met Julie and right away she was extremely personable and sweet. I felt very comfortable with her and wasn’t nervous at all about it. She explained to me how it all worked and was very attentive. I could tell that she really pays attention to each individual as a persona and not just as a customer.
It was still painful cause they pull the hair out which is normal, but I will never go back to waxing because this was so much easier and it doesn’t stick to everything and pull off your skin. The sugaring substance is organic and only adheres to dead cells: hair. After the sugaring she used this myrrh spray that is a natural anti-​inflammatory. And also a lotion with myrrh in it as well. There was no mess and no sanitation problems. She throws away each molt of sugaring past as she needs to along with the pair of gloves she was using.
I booked my next appointment today and am completely thrilled and happy with my results. My mom also had Julie a few days a go because I mentioned she should try it and she said she will never go back to waxing again.
They also offer other hair removal services, facials, and make up services. The prices are worth it because the customer service you’re getting is worth even more.

OH Groupon how I HEART thee! I found Skin So Sweet via Groupon and was not disappointed. Thank you Dylan for making a necessary but often uncomfortable procedure much less painful. I love sugaring so much more than the alternative. And let me just say we have ALL been to those shops that are not so sanitary. Seriously, the last place I went to the lady did not wear gloves… I was mortified and that was the last time I ever went in for any kind of service. That was until I found Skin So Sweet!
Skin So Sweet is clean & professional. And by clean I mean all points of sanitary. Their estheticians wear gloves, the beds and towels are fresh.
I definitely will be back and look forward to the next Groupon! I love that there are 2 locations as well; this makes it so convenient as 1 is close to work and the other close to home :)

Thanks to Skin So Sweet and Groupon, I can now add «customized facials» to the list of things I never even knew my life was missing. I had Amy as my esthetician and she was wonderful. I told her up front that this was my first facial, so she walked me through each step of the process as she performed it. Other than that, chatting was minimal and she didn’t push a single product on me (perhaps it was because I told her I use Trader Joe’s moisturizer? That probably shocked her system). The treatment itself was completely luxurious and left my face newly re-​hydrated. I wasn’t sure what to expect as to results, but this AM my face didn’t dry up like the Mojave the second I exited the shower so I guess it’s still hydrated, which is good right? Also — I LOVED the bonus neck/​shoulder/​arm/​hand massage that’s included with the facial.
Just a word on the facility itself: This place is literally one room. There’s no need to show up early for your appointment because you’ll find yourself waiting in the parking lot staring at a door tastefully marked as «occupied» with a nice ribbon, much like your college roommate would do when she was shacking up with someone in your shared space. Once inside however, it’s the perfect intimate space for a spa treatment. The fact that there is no foot traffic outside your door, or voices coming from up and down the halls, amplifies the intimacy and luxury of the treatment you receive.
I enjoyed this treatment so much that I fully plan on returning to pay the full price ($ 95 + tip) for this treatment on a semi-​regular basis.
