Spa Experience 8/27/15 Beauty Kliniek, San Diego, CA

I was lucky to get a spa treatment at Beauty Kliniek, last Thursday. The treatment was a re-gift from my present host, a birthday present for me. I’ve experienced many years of giving and receiving therapies, in spas, resorts,  chiropractic offices, and  private practice. On one hand, I am discerning after my 37 years of doing the work professionally myself, but on the other hand, I am easy to please and not directive when I am the receiver.

I was very impressed with how extensive the offerings are here, all the services and the space itself. I asked for and received a tour before my session. The spa is 8000 sq. feet with a Beauty/hair salon, a day spa, a wellness center, a eucalyptus stream room, an infared sauna, lockers rooms, a Vichy shower for body treatments, a hydrotherapy tub, whirlpool pedicure thrones, a couples massage room, a spa boutique, a classroom and two relaxation areas.

Here are some pictures:

This is the entrance. It is in a small shopping area on the NE corner of Regents Road and Governor Drive.

Here is part of the lobby/entrance.  This area includes the receptionist desk, chairs and several shelves and counters with make up and other items for sale.

Here is the salon.  They offer full hair salon services, waxing, nails, make up , all in different areas. They even offer laser hair removal, Photo Genesis and medical laser treatments, Laser genesis, botox, collagen, fillers and other medical beauty/anti-aging treatments.

They have treatment rooms where they offer various facials, and micro-current facial sculpting, too.

Their body treatment list is extensive with various body wraps, salt glow scrubs, and a hydrotherapy tub. They offer deep tissue massage, hot stone massage, Hawaiian Lomi ke Ah Hoku massage, clinical aromatherapy, pregnancy massage, Thai massage, reflexology and manual lymph drainage.

This is the couple’s massage room.

I had signed up for the combo massage, which the spa menu stated included craniosacral, energy balancing, reflexology, tui na, acupressure and several other modalities including Swedish.  I am trained in several therapies myself and have received numerous ones over the years, including that list, and only really noticed receiving swedish and deep tissue work in my massage last Thursday. I felt a little disappointed that there wasn’t reflexology and energy balancing, however, I was very pleased with the work I received. Tasia, was my therapist, and I found her pressure firm, nurturing and confident.  The table was VERY comfy and the treatment included nice touches like a warm towel on my back after that area was massaged, a warm towel under my neck when I was face up, a warm pad on my belly, and a warm towel on my feet after the treatment was complete.

This was my room.

Along with the above treatments, they have treatments and packages that focus on slimming, detoxing, spa treatments, colon hydrotherapy, packages for Brides, Executive packages, and anything from a few hours long package to all day, including a light lunch.

They focus on the whole body and to support that, they also offer yoga and other classes, wellness programs and acupuncture.

There are two relaxation areas I saw, both set up with water, fruit and hot tea. The chairs were very comfy to relax in.

They actually mix their own aromatherapy blends according to the needs of the client.

When I checked in, I was led to the women’s locker room where I was given a locker with a key, clean slippers and a comfy robe. There was a changing room, a shower area, bathroom, sink area and they had all the amenities anyone could want to freshen up to return out into the world.

Here is the classroom:

I liked that they offered many supplements, aromatherapy oils, lotions, and other beauty/relaxation support items for sale, to support the benefits achieved at the spa.
