Skin Deep Studio & Salon

The spa is located on a quaint tree lined street called Kenneth Rd in Kenneth Village. I walked there from my boyfriends house and got delicious dairy free yogurt in between treatments a few stores down. I first got a deep tissue massage by Sosi who has gentle healing hands. I felt renewed and refreshed. I was surprised to find out that the esthetician’s name was also Sosi. She was very knowledgeable and explained the microdermabrasion process and suggested other treatments and products. We discussed the products I was using and she gave me her professional opinion. She has great energy and a wonderful smile. She greated me with a hug although it was the first time we had met and had only communicated through the phone. She took great care of my skin and explained what she was doing and what products she was using. I really enjoyed my visit to the spa and happy that I found a place that I can get a blow dry, a facial treatment, and a massage all under one roof.

Salpy does a great job with my hair. I never have to wait, the salon is very comfortable, and Salpy always takes her time while cutting my hair. The price is very good as well.

Relaxation at its finest!
Sossy is seriously amazing — ask for her! Nice and hip salon in one of the nicest areas of Glendale. Plenty of parking! Definitely recommended, fellow Unilocalers!

I have been coming to Skin Deep for many many years and consider the women that work here my good friends now. What I love about the salon is the non pretentious vibe you get as soon as you walk in. Sosi is an absolute master of her craft and I see her every three weeks for my eyebrow wax and shaping. I love the natural look she gives my eyebrows and how the wax doesn’t irritate my skin that is extremely sensitive (will post a picture soon).
Every two months or so I also get a facial and mild peel from Sosi. This helps improve the quality of my skin without having any flaking at all as a result. I love this place because it is not trendy. It is a staple of my beauty routine and will always be my go to for quality service.
I agree with the review below that Karlet is amazing for hair. She is a wizard because she’s able to trim my hair and manage to keep it looking the same length.
I think Skin Deep FTW!

This review is for Karlet. Five stars all around! She’s simply amazing, such an awesome person to be around, I look forward to my quarterly hair «trims» with her!
If you’re growing your hair out, it’s important that you trim it often. I do a lot of heat styling to my hair and it’s also bleached from highlights, so my hair needs extra TLC. She knows exactly what will look good on you and for your hair type. She always cuts off the right amount, it never even looks like I got a hair cut, but more importantly it feels like it. My favorite part… her wash/​massage (heavenly!) and amazing blowout!

I went here fort first microdermabrasion facial. I hadn’t had a facial in quite a while so i wasn’t sure what to expect. When I walked in the salon I was a little confused where to go. There was no one is the front doing hair but I did see a lady (Sosi) in the back. So I just said «hello?» And she came up to greet me.
She took me to the back room where she assessed my skin to make sure it was the right procedure for me. She listened to my concerns and hopes for the procedure and let me know about steps she would be taking.
I felt very relaxed during the microdermabrasion and at the end she even showed all the dead skin that was taken off my face! Afterwards she put essential oils and a vitamin mask on my face which really made my face feel good.
Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here and would definitely come back for another facial!

I love skin deep! The mood of the salon is very calming and the esthetician, Sosi, is extremely nice and really cares about your skin. She does whats right for your skin and recommends great products. I always wax by her she uses organic wax which i love :)

as a loyal customer here i have to say that sosi is THE BEST! from my eyebrows to facials this lady is talented! once i made the mistake of going somewhere else to get microdermabrasion done (i didnt have time to drive to glendale) and they completely ruined my skin! it had become all red and blotchy but i went to sosi the next day and she worked her magic! my skin was as good as new the next day :)
the salon itself is completely remodeled and you feel so at ease from the relaxing vibe it gives off.
Sosi is a gift to this planet. you definitely will miss out if you don’t try out Skin Deep!

It was my first time going for a facial here with Sosi. I walk in and not one person acknowledges me, they just carry on speaking. I finally said «excuse me» and they were irritated that I interrupted their conversation. Then the worst happens, the facial starts and I must say it was the worst one I have ever had in my life. Sosi was beyond Rude and it lasted only 20 minutes. When she was done she walked out without a word… I will never come here again.

Very disappointed and the 1 star is definitely overly generous. Initially, I went there for a microdermabrasion which I purchased on Unilocal.When I walked in the day of my appt, no one acknowledged me and I just got their weird stares. There was nowhere to sit and everyone was doing hair… apparently the «facial lady» has a tiny office in the back of the building. She came out and led me to her office, seemed really nice and, after assessing my skin, she said I had too much redness and needed to instead have a basic facial and not a microdermabrasion… I felt totally ripped off at that point because I had my heart and mind set on the microdermabrasion which I had already paid for. Upon questioning me about my skin regimen, she insisted that I needed to start using higher quality products on my face and pushed some Dermalogica microdermabrasion powder on me, which I stupidly purchased. It dried the side of my face so bad, that it’s been nearly a year, and I still have the dry patch on the side of my face. I wouldn’t recommend this place to my biggest enemy… well, maybe I would…

great waxing service ever!
i found a 1-​day groupon today for brazillian waxing and decided to give a shot. i called in for an appointment at 5:30pm and thanks to the traffic i was 10min late. Sosie (i hope i remember her name correct) is super nice. she had to wait for me towards almost the closing hours, and she didn’t say a word to my lateness.
She did an excellent job. very careful, very patient, and even let me breath as long as i needed in between peelings. none of my previous waxing ladies allowed me to do that. normally everyone just went straight one after another. im a person with zero threshold of pain, so this is very impressive. it feels like eventually someone cares our feeling that we are suffering pains. the session took almost twice long than elsewhere, but the job done was perfect! she is totally a perfection which i love the most. she and makes sure that everything hair got cleaned up.
the room ceiling is made of bamboo and real sky looking, with heart-​shape clouds. this is impressive and very soothing during the waxing. very helpful.
she offered me the same groupon price so no need to wait and seek at groupon anymore! of course i bought another session right after this try. will definitely return to Sosie for next time!

thank you Sosy for everthing i love my eyebrowes

I had my first microdermabrasion facial the other day. I purchased the voucher from Lifebooker before reading the reviews here. I was kind of skeptical after reading some of the reviews but decided to go ahead and make an appointment with Sosi and keep an open mind. I was early to my appointment (45 minutes… don’t ask why) and she came out and greeted me shortly after saying she was almost done with another client.
The salon itself is very small and loud, and I couldn’t help but notice a bandaid on one of the light switches which seemed very unsanitary and disgusting, but still, I tried to keep an open mind.
Sosi has a quiet room in the back (thank god!). The first thing I noticed when I laid down was the ceiling, it’s covered with bamboo and other parts are open and it looks like you are looking out into the sky, its super cute. She also plays soothing music in the background for you as well. She was very sweet and didn’t talk that much and allowed me to relax. She did explain what she was doing throughout the process which I appreciated as it was my first time doing a facial. Some of the reviews I read said she pushes products, I didn’t feel that way. My skin is more on the clearer side, so maybe if she recommends products its because the person really needs it. Nonetheless, not once did I feel pressured to purchase anything from her. The one thing she did do is allowed me to return and get the treatment for the SAME DISCOUNTED PRICE that I purchased on Lifebooker (major plus!!).
I left very happy and my face baby bottom smooth. Sosi knows how to treat her customers and make them feel comfortable. I definitely recommend!

REPOST — FROM DEC 2011
I went to skin deep salon for microdermabrasion, eyebrow and upper lip
wax recently. I was greeted by a beautiful woman with perfect skin. She was the
owner, Sosi. The esthetician room was clean, soothing and warm.
I left the salon after the best microdermabrasion session I have ever had.
I returned 2 week later to purchase specific products that were to maintain the great results. After a couple days using these new products, my skin was more hydrated, plumper from the radical cell turnover due to the phytic acid ingredient.
I myself have an esthetician license and know all the products out there. Or so I thought. Sosi is a master at skin care and very passionate about it. She takes the time to educate the clients on skincare. She is brilliant. I would recommend Skin Deep salon to anyone needing skin care services. I never write reviews but I had to share my utter respect and results offered by Sosi!
PS: And the prices are reasonable too!

So I got a chemical peel done the other day. My first one ever. My skin has just started to peel, but not as badly as I thought it would.
I originally came in for a microdermabrasion for a deal I snagged off KGB deals. But once she saw my skin (I have pretty bad acne scars and still breakout even though I’m 25), she suggested I go for the peel. I was a bit skeptical but she convinced me to at least give it a try.
She called me a few days later to see how my skin was, and how the peeling was going. I thought it was really nice of her to do a follow-​up call. She even answered all my questions about the peeling process and took the time to talk to me and address my concerns/​questions.
I give it 3 stars, though, because it was a bit pricey for a place located in Glendale, but maybe I’m just a cheapy and I also don’t know anything about price ranges for chemical peels.
But overall, a good experience :)

OMG just had the best skin care treatment ever!!! I just moved the Glendale from San Diego and I was worried where I will find a good esthetician. I thought i would have to drive to SD every month for my facials and treatments. Skin Deep Studio was actually recommended to me from a couple of my co workers that go there so I decided to try it out. I called and made an appointment and they actually gave me an appointment around my schedule (I have a weird schedule). The lady on the phone was so nice. When I got there the setting was so relaxing and everyone was so nice and helpful. I never felt pressured to buy or try any services i didn’t ask for. Sosi was the esthetician and she was very nice and helpful. I felt like I knew her for years. My face never felt and looked better !!! She is even better and CHEAPER than my lady in SD. I found my new fountain of youth salon and will be referring everyone to her. I LOVE THIS PLACE. I took my co workers to lunch just to thank them for telling me about Sosi :-)

This review is for the skincare part of the salon which I went to after purchasing a microdermabrasion voucher off KGB. After clearing out all appointments to make room for this microdermabrasion appointment I laid on the table for over half an hour with the esthetician who never once looked closely at my skin but proceeded to tell me how the KGB deal I purchased was not sufficient for my skin type and that I would need to pay $ 150 to be satisfied with what she thought I needed. She gave me a cheaper option of $ 100 treatment but said she did not want to waste my time or money with that treatment either. I told her that I didn’t have the money or a credit card she would accept so she told me I could give her a check or go to the atm next door for cash. When I told her I didn’t have an atm card with me she told me to use my Discover card to withdraw money from the atm. She kept guilting me by saying she could just do the microdermabrasion I paid for but she wouldn’t want to because it was pointless to do and she didn’t want to waste my money on something that wouldn’t do anything for me. Since she was pretty much unwilling to only do the microdermabrasion she finally told me to reschedule for the $ 150 treatment which I would have to continue to have on a monthly basis along with some product (another $ 45) she wanted to sell me. I ended up leaving 35 minutes layer frustrated with no treatment and having already cancelled other appointments that day to go to this one.
I am extremely disappointed with the customer service here and the guilt action placed on customers because she feels she is losing out on money from signing up with KBG.
Skin Deep Salon is HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED!!!

I had such an amazing experience here. Let me start by saying that I called on a Friday needing a Saturday a.m. appt for an updo and they were more than gracious. Gayane who did my hair was quick and very talented. And the wash, blowdry and style (barrel curls loosely pinned up) was only $ 55! She spent more than 1.5 hrs with me, I was really appreciative. I would have subtracted a star because Gayane was late, but she really did such a spectacular job. Plus there was a festival on their street so parking was an issue.
Skin Deep is a cute place and I’m coming back for a facial. VERY IMPRESSED with both the service and prices.

I had an amazing experience at Skin Deep Studio & Salon. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I was very satisfied with the services utilized. I left there feeling renewed and fully relaxed. Looking forward to another awesome spa experience. Thank you Skin Deep Studio & Salon!

Skin Deep is awesome. I’ve been going there for years and the service is fantastic, prices reasonable. Sosi is a real professional and I always feel refreshed when I leave.
