Sanctuary Spa

Bought a 6 microdermabrasion package from groupon or living social (can’t remember) and fell in love with the awesome staff– services and products. I am on my last of three Perfect Peels and so far my skin has been looking great! I only wish they had Botox cos then I’d never go anywhere else LOL. Stephanie is awesome and I highly recommend going to her.

I’ve been to several spas and love this place! Everyone here is super sweet! Crista the owner is unbelievably cute and helpful and so good at what she does. KC also does amazing facials! Really cute inside — tranquil & serene. You won’t be disappointed in level of service!

This updated review has been long due. After the previous review on last November, the owner, Crista, contacted me personally the following business day, and she was really nice. I have been a very satisfied customer to Sanctuary Spa for a very long time despite the previous incident and I still am. When my schedule is allowed, I go to see KC once a month. I have tried different kind of facial with KC, she is great and very knowledgeable. I also had massage with Christina, she helped relieve my tight shoulders and neck tension. I love this spa, I will go back there as long as I can.

Christina is amazing. She gives the best facials and her waxing is flawless. I haven’t let anyone else work on my skin in years.

I cannot tell you how amazing Stephanie is! She gives the most incredible facials! She shapes my eyebrows to perfection and I will not go to anyone else! She has such a good heart and is so genuine! I love this place!

Received an Oxygen Facial from Crista earlier this week. I usually come here for massages, so this was my first facial, and can I just say, BEST FACIAL EVER. I didn’t exactly realize she was the owner of Sanctuary Spa because she didn’t have snobby owner vibes at all. She greeted me as the receptionist from the moment I walked in (they were short-​staffed that day) and then proceeded to provide the treatment as another cosmetologist took over the desk.
The staff here is so incredible. They are friendly, sweet, professional, attentive, and work hard to make the experience perfect for you.
The treatment lasted a full hour and was everything a facial should be: thorough, productive, effective (still seeing results 2 days later) and relaxing. Crista is so knowledgeable about skincare and extremely experienced with facials. Even during my extractions, she had a very gentle touch. While letting masks work their magic, she massaged my shoulders, arms and feet. I loved the flow of everything and felt really taken care of.
Grateful that Crista took the time to explain some tips for my skincare regimen without being too pushy. She genuinely cares about her clients and is sincerely dedicated to her craft.
Sanctuary, you have yet to let me down. This is a top-​notch, adorable little spa with dedicated experts who will deliver the results you need, whether in a massage or facial or anything else.
Thanks Crista! You’ve got a great thing going here!
See you again soon,
xoxo T

I’ve been to this salon 6 times for the microdermabrasion with facial upgrade with Christina (Kristina?) & Janna. Both wonderful & very skilled ladies, but Christina is just so funny & friendly, so I started going exclusively to her. Her micro upgrade comes with a foot massage as well. I can’t remember if Janna did one.
I held off on writing this review because I was going to give the spa 4 stars. The spa is so expensive. I honestly can’t afford to come here like ever if I’m paying full price. That is my only complaint though. Also, one more teeny tiny one… one of the receptionists is very loud, so you can hear her during your appointment. Anyways, during my last facial with Christina, she gave me the heads up they’re doing a special on ¹²⁄₁₇. Because of this December special, the facials are at an affordable price & I’m gona stock up. 5 stars!

Got the detox body wrap as a Groupon gift from my cousin. Very professional there and nice atmosphere.

I can’t say enough about Stephanie … this was my first visit to Sanctuary Spa and my first time getting microdermabrasion. Stephanie took the time to explain everything to me and figure out a treatment plan for my upcoming wedding. The salon is beautiful and everyone was extremely professional and kind.

I have been to many salons from high end to small mom-​type of places to receive facials. However, this review isn’t based on my facial but my daughters.
I believe that it is important for young pre-​teen/​teens to develop a good skin care routine. When examining her skin I noticed dry skin, a breakout, and blackheads on her nose/​chin area. I looked around Unilocal for salons that specialize in «teen facials». Sanctuary was one of the few that specifically offered facials for teens.
The esthetician was CRISTA. The facial consisted of cleansing, exfoliating, extractions, mask, scalp/​arm massage. After the facial was completed Crista gave my daughter samples of skincare products (Eminence Organics) so she can try them out to see how the work for her skin.
PROS:
1.Knowlegeable Staff
2.Easy to book appointments
3. Product Selection is nice
4. No hard selling of products
OVERALL: What I liked about Crista and Sanctuary was the engagement that she had with my daughter. Crista was explaining what she was putting on her face and what it was going to do. She was’t just treating my daughter’s concerns, she was educating her in the realm of skincare (which is what I was hoping for).My daughter had a great first experience thanks to Crista. She will be back next month.

From the overall entrance to the friendly staff this spa is warm, inviting and full of love for their clients. I had a face treatment and was quite nervous going into it. The owner Christa helped me and was so thorough explaining the product, process and outcomes to expect. It was evident from speaking with a regular patron in the waiting area that people come in often and have made this spa their «Sanctuary». I am eager to use my new products, see all the amazing results and to return and try MORE! Thank you for making this spa so special and making me feel so welcome! I will be sharing with all of my friends and family~

I have been going to Sanctuary Spa for over a year now for microdermabrasions and facials and they have always been amazing. Last night when I went in for my monthly regular and I had Stephanie do my service and oh my god… best service I have ever had. She is so sweet and pleasant and goes the extra mile. I told her about my current skin issues and she did extra treatment on my problem areas. Furthermore, in the past when I was getting services done there is a portion of the facial where you have to let the mask sit and the aesthetician would leave the room until it was ready to be removed, not Stephanie. She massages my neck, shoulders, arms and feet while we waited. She is a ¹⁰⁄₁₀ all around!

I had the best experience ever here. Jana did my facial and was an absolute gem. Very sweet and personable. I left with a glow inside and out. This is what visiting a spa and feeling refreshed and rejuvenated is all about. Thanks Jana and the entire team at Sanctuary.

Stephanie is the sweetest!!! she is so patient and explains everything thoroughly, she is very honest and gives realistic advice. I bought the Groupon (make sure to buy the 6) the groupon was absolutely worth it, howver I think the normal pricing is way too expensive

I love this place. I’ve had amazing experiences here. So far I’ve had many spa days here which encompasses microdermabrasions, body wraps, eyelash extensions and one massage.
It’s the best Spa experience I’ve ever had. If I could afford it, I would be here every other week.
Recently I went to another spa, because they had a couple spa package and I wanted to do something romantic. It was a mistake. I should have never strayed away from Sanctuary Spa. I might book another spa session for us just to erase that horrible experience. I almost cried while leaving the other place.
I had to come back and write a good review for Sanctuary Spa, because they deserve it. It’s hard to appreciate places like these, until you’ve been treated worst than dogs. All I could think about while at the other spa was how much I missed Sanctuary Spa’s clean cozy robes and slippers and how kind they were.
People don’t have to treat you well because you’ve paid for it, but Sanctuary Spa’s staff chooses to treat you well and with respect. Because of it, they deserve the best review and great prosperity.
I appreciate you guys more than ever!

I was having a pretty rough day and I decided a needed a massage to unwind and relax. I went on Unilocal,and found them! 5 stars? How can I not go?
The location is pretty hard to find, their sign is small, just remember that they are to the right of BevMo, when your facing BevMo, right next to the nail place.
Yona, their receptionist is super sweet, I called her a bunch of times to find the place, but she was very patient and nice.
I filled out my form, and Maggie, my massage therapist greeted me and let me in right away. The room is calm, warm enough, and very serene. I like the music too. I recommend Maggie and will definitely go back to her! She definitely worked the kinks out of my neck and shoulders!
Love sanctuary and will definitely go back!

Got just an eyebrow wax, only 20 bucks and it was AMAZING!
Spa like setting that calms you, and the lady is ssooo thorough. Eyebrows came out great, totally cute spa and friendly (not snobby) people.

We were regulars but moved out if town. After several disappointments at my local establishments I now make the drive back to OC! Best spa to relax, rejuvenate and renew– pick up the phone and call though as they are often booked up. They got me back on form for a recent event– no more bags under the eyes!

OMG! I needed this. Thanks to one of my favorite websites, Groupon, I purchased a 75 minute detox body wrap for $ 49.
My aesthetician, Christina was awesome! I was a newbie to body wraps, so I didn’t know what to expect. But Christine, explained to me everything she was doing and it’s purpose.
Ok, so this is what took place in 75 minutes:
Christina takes me to the room where there is a full body length plastic wrap on the massage table. I get completely undressed. I laid face down on the table, and draped a small towel across my butt. Christina comes back in, and begins. First is dry brush. She had dry brush gloves, and begins brushing, welling rubbing, my skin upwards. The purpose of the dry brushing is to get rid of toxins and dead skin cells through the lymph nodes. I had heard about and read about thebenefits of dry brushing before, but just never took the time to do it myself. (Google ‘dry brushing’ as there are amazing benefits of drying brushing your skin). Next, she rubbed the essential oils all over my body, and went in on the massage…(Ahhhhhh!!! Don’t wake me until it’s over!)… then a nice scalp massage…
Now onto the actual wrapping…
She wrapped the plastic, then a blanket, and last another layer of blanket around me. She tells me, «Ok, im going to leave you here for about 30 minutes and check on you periodically. Would you like any water before I leave? I’m thinking to myself, «No big deal. I’m not claustrophobic. I don’t get hot easily. Lying her like a cocoon for the next 30 minutes is going to be a breeze.» «No, I’m fine I don’t need any water.» Ha. Was I wrong, or what? It was like being in a sauna, but wrapped and confined. I could feel sweat just dripping. But I held on like a true champ. Christina comes in to check on me and this time I said «yes» to wanting water. Ooh talk about straight cotton mouth! «Ok Akisha, you have 15 minutes to go. Relax and I will be back in shortly.» I continued to hold on like a true champ. 15 minutes is over and she comes in and peels the layers off of me. Whew, I was waiting for that moment.
To wrap up (pun intended) the session, Christina gets a towel and wipes the sweat off being careful not to rub off too much if the essential oils. Lastly, she does one last massage. Body wrap session over. She reminded me to drink a gallon of water for the next 3 days to get the maximum experience of the detox. Not a problem because I love drinking water.
Christina was awesome. It would be nice to do it at least twice a month, but I will definitely do it again.

This place is so AMAZING!
I came here for microdermabrasion. Place is very clean, great smell (aroma candles), super relaxing (and not annoying!!) music.
Staff is super friendly, very professional and good looking as well.
Also I’ve been recommended some cosmetics and then I thought «here we go»… I hate when you come just for simple a facial and they give you tons of «needed» cosmetics. I usually refuse. But this time I decided to try, because cosmetologist used one of them during procedure and it didn’t have an allergy reaction.
But this time I was so satisfied! Great cream, moisturizer, toning… And it’s exactly matches my super sensitive skin!
5 stars no doubts. There are definitely professionals work, unlike some other places…
