New Image Skin Care & Spa

absolutely wonderful!!! had a salt rub, facial and massage a week ago and I am still gelled out. the treatments far exceeded my expectations and were soooo relaxing and soothing. you couldn’t get more skilled and sweet pampering at the most expensive spa. can’t recommend them enough!

I have been going to Kate for 10 years and her services are the best. I have had massages all over the world and she is hands down my favorite. Her facials are excellent too and she uses premium products. You can’t find better rates in San Diego that match the level of service she provides. I recommend all of my friends and colleagues to her and always will.

As a mother of three children, this facial was a treat I rarely indulge in! For once, I was able to sit back and RELAX! I should treat myself monthly. Olga was so kind and very professional. She made me feel completely relaxed and comfortable. I was lulled to sleep for a minute between the soft music and the gentle massage. I was IN HEAVEN!!! I love how clean and revived my face felt after my treatment. My makeup was looking fierce the following days. The facial not only lifted my dry, dull skin but also my confidence and spirits. I highly recommend getting a facial from Olga. Trust me, you won’t regret it!

I’ve been having some pains in my back and shoulders ever since I started dancing again and working out. I’ve never had a massage in the country before and I saw this groupon for $ 99 for a scrub, facial, and massage. Since I was due for a facial as well and it was a great deal, I decided to give this place a try.
It’s tiny but clean and relaxing which is what I like. The facial was as relaxing as a facial can get and my skin felt so nice and smooth afterwards. The woman helping me was quiet which is what I like and I felt at peace. Now for the massage, my god, it was amazing. She got all the pain, knots, and stiffness I felt these last 3 months and melted them away. I felt relaxed, content and rejuvenated. It made me feel so happy. I felt like a relaxed puddle of pudding hours afterwards. I can’t wait to come back here.

Was able to get a last minute massage, and eyebrow wax, on a Saturday morning. The staff is so friendly and the facial was fabulous. I walked out of there feeling so good, and the price can’t be beat. I’m already looking forward to my next treatment!

Straight up lying again I confirmed for a 2 hour massage, and when I came in you said you were in the process of updating the website unbelievablr

We had a delightful, relaxing massage at The New Image Skincare and Spa!
The ambience is relaxing, quiet and soothing. It is indeed a Special treat.
The location is great, easy to get to with available parking. A great way to
relieve stress, tension and renergize!!! We will return next week for more
relaxation and uplift. Kate was perfect. Thank you!!!

I loved the experience I just had here. The Swedish massage and facial with the lavender scrub, my skin is glowing! This place is amazing and I’ve been having a very positive day after leaving.

My pores have been feeling so congested so I wanted to get a facial and decided to call this place up based on other reviews. So glad that they were able to fit me in last minute and on a Sunday too! The place was nice and clean, and the staff were nice as well. I was the only client in at the time so I didn’t hear all the noises other Unilocalers were complaining about. The girl (although I didn’t get her name, I don’t even think she told me) who did my facial, did a fantastic job! Plus she didn’t talk much, which I prefer. It’s been over a week since I got my facial and my face hasn’t had any new breakouts and it feels SO much better!
I only gave 4 stars because she recommended that I get a microdermabrasion that I didn’t agree to but did it anyways. But whatever, it was only an extra $ 15 and my facial was only $ 49 for first time client! Can’t beat that price so I was happy anyways! Also, wished that she would have talked to me a little bit more after I got my facial to make recommendations or to suggest when I should come back, I had to find her and ask her myself.

New Image is a hidden gem amidst San Diego day spa chaos. I don’t know who stole Cathy H’s popsicle, but the bad experience she described is not consistent with my experience.
I’ve been coming to New Image for several years and it is NOT noisy. The facial/​body scrub are beyond reproach and Kate’s fingers on my back and shoulders provide the very definition of «bliss».

My mom and I have been coming here for a while and we love it! Everyone is very professional and its a great atmosphere. They make sure you’re comfortable at all times. I’m a licensed esthetician and I trust everyone who works here. Plus they also have specials all the time. We will always come here!

Kate was great! I popped in after a long week of traveling at a suggestion of a friend and was not disappointed. The space was clean, relaxing and helped me leave all my stress behind. Booking was also a breeze! Kate was easy to talk to and really took her time to make sure that I was comfortable and felt amazing after my treatments.
She offers a variety of services (I opted for a facial and massage) and I’ll definitely book her again!

I had a two hour massage here. The lady was professional, the atmosphere was clean and I would recommend friends or family.

My experience was relaxing and amazing. It was just what I needed! Money well spent! I love their website and I can’t wait for the app to come out.

The BEST microdermabrasion facial I have ever gotten hands down. I found New Image Skin Care and Spa a couple years ago on Unilocal and I’m very glad I did. Unlike many other spas, they’re open on Sunday! This alone set them apart from the rest along with the amazing experience. When you first walk in the atmosphere is very tranquil, candles lit, soft music playing, perfect setting for a spa. Kate did my facial and she’s very thorough with her work. I have quite a few scars on my face due to acne and she made sure to take her time, uses amazing products, and gave me tips on what to do to help. She’s also very friendly and makes you feel super comfortable from start to finish. I would recommend everyone make an appointment and check her out.

Me and my wife purchased Groupon deal. It was 2 hour service including facial, massage and body scrub. I’m not a huge fan of spa saloons but this was a great experience! I really enjoyed professional massage both for back and for face. Also inside of spa feels very cozy and relaxing, I would definitely recommend this to my friends because of the service and prices are just unbeatable!
So to sum up i’ll definitely come back again

I had a Groupon for the two hour package.
Upon arrival and checking in, I had a bad feeling about this. I was about 10 minutes early. It’s suppose to be a spa but this older Asian woman is the walking around very loudly, looking through cabinets, shuffling through paper frantically, sliding her feet as she walks… who may have been the owner or manager because of the receptionist was reporting to her. I was hoping she wasn’t my therapist…
Oh guess what, she was… she had all that time to set up for my appointment but was still unprepared for my facial. She took me to a body scrub room, gave me directions to lay down, put a shower cap on and she will be back. This was the worst ten minutes of my life. She brushed me with what felt like a boar bristle brush that you use to de-​shed your golden retriever. Then rubbed me so hard with this coarse salt scrub that smelled like lavender. No water, no oil to soften the scrub, just plain ol’ salt scrub! I have scratch marks on my body where you have thinner skin (chest, one breast, shin, inside of my arm) then she left the room for me to shower. I’ve never had a body scrub this way, normally they use an oil based scrub and remove it with hot towels during the massage. It was far far away from being remotely relaxing.
Finally, its over. I took a shower and went to the massage room where she did my facial. As I mentioned before, she was not prepared for my service. How relaxing can it be to hear opening jars, cabinets, rolling on the chair, shuffling through cabinets to find whatever she needed. Very low quality toilet paper feeling cloths to wipe off product. I’ve always had people use sponge like material.
She never asked me about my skin, my regimen, skin type, concerns… Everything about this service was bad, I couldn’t wait for it to be over…
I didn’t get the name of the girl who was my massage therapist, she was good. Nice pressure and felt like she knew what she was doing. Although I did ask her to work on my arms and hands for work purposes, she didn’t really do it.
I would not return. I am a seasoned spa attendee but my expectations were definitely not high. I wouldn’t take this service for free. The walls here are paper thin, you can hear every door opening/​closing, conversation and foot steps.
The two stars are for the service at the front desk, the operation hours are great and the massage therapist.

I think it was the best back massage I ever had. I felt really great after all. The body scrub was a little disappointing. It was quick and easy. I had to walk barefoot between shower and the table, but the floor was not so clean. I think they need to have deep cleaning at this place.

My experience was not bad, but not amazing. I have gone to spas at resorts mostly in the past so I may just be spoiled!
I got the $ 98 scrub/​massage/​facial deal which really is a great deal! My esthetician/​masseuse was very nice and did not talk during my massage, which I prefer. She also did not talk during the facial which is not necessarily bad, but it would have been nice to know what steps and products she was applying.
The room wasn’t loud, but the walls are a bit thin and sometimes I could hear the music/​conversation from the next room.
Again, I didn’t have a bad experience, but I was not wowed.
I gave 3 stars because with all of the spa choices in SD I’m not sure I would go back for my next spa day :(

Bought a groupon for 2 hr massage and sea salt scrub. I had this asain lady. She was good I forgot her name. But I really enjoyed my massage. It was full body with a sea salt scrub and hot shower. I also got the microdermabrasion facial which I’m not impressed I see no difference in my skin but I guess it was nice? I’m more about the massage it was great really relaxing. Cute little place almost hidden. I would come back.
