Citrus College Estheticians

OK, I give this 5 stars for what it is… a SCHOOL. You cannot beat the value here – they use a high end spa brand (Dermalogica), and I can get about 3 of their enzyme peel facials for what I’d pay for ONE in a fancy spa. I’m picky about my massages, but when it comes to my face, the bottom line is that the product is what’s going to do the work and I like Dermalogica, so I’m a pretty happy camper. They also use another «natural» line, which I can’t remember the name of.
I’d advise you to come early, especially your first visit, because you’ll have a) find the reception office b) decide what you want c) walk back to your car to put in the parking pass (free) and d) fill out a questionaire.
Also, this service only runs twice a year, for about 3 months at a time. I always try to find out when they’re re-​opening for the next session and call to get my first booking as soon as I can so that I can squeeze in three treatments before shutting down again.

I have had a few different facials/​treatments done here. I always got excellent service and it was a clean environment.
I am only giving 3 stars because I think they charge far too much for a lot of the services, especially considering that some of their products are the cheapest of the cheap. For example, one girl tried to get a Brazilian and the wax was too weak to pull off with the paper or something and after several failed attempts, someone had to leave to go buy better wax. (Glad it wasn’t me!)
Citrus College’s cosmetology services are dirt cheap so I don’t get why the esthetician services, namely facials, cost close to what I would pay to a professional. Other than that, I have always been satisfied.

**PLEASE, Keep In Mind That STUDENTS Are Working On You. They Are Gaining Their Experience, So Do NOT Come In Expecting Top Salon Quality.
That being said, the girls are nice and give wonderful facials. They’re more than willing to help you with your problems/​skin concerns. Don’t be afraid to speak up if something bothers you or is uncomfortable; however, keep in mind it is a room filled with 20 – 30 FEMALE (usually) estheticians-​in-​training, so it isn’t always quiet. A great place for quality facial.
P. S. They are a Dermalogica affiliated school.
