Skin by Shila

This review is waaaay long over due! (Sorry Shila!)
Struggling with cystic acne since early high school years I was finally fed up. I’ve tried every acne product out there from cheap to extremely pricey, trying to fix the problem. Now as an adult I luckily don’t struggle with it as much as I did, but when I do, it’s more embarrassing than ever.
I finally gave in, ready to try anything! Thank god for Unilocal,I found my skin guru!
Shila analyzed my breakouts and helped me find a personal solution! I can’t thank her enough! I now have been going to her once a month for the acne facial and she has changed up my whole skin routine! My skin has never looked better!
Definitely worth the money splurging for the products she offers too! They last you forever and the benefits are astounding! She also carries a line of makeup products that will change your life!
Shila does some great eyebrow waxing too! None of that cheap wax from crappy salons.
Not to mention she’s the sweetest, most personable lady around! Thank you for everything Shila! See you again soon!

I have been going to Melissa Craw for nearly 10 years now for hydrafacials. She is amazing! She always does such a thorough job and is professional, yet so sweet and easy to talk to. I won’t go to anyone else for my skincare! Take my word for it and go see Melissa!

Amazing! Shila is so knowledgeable and educates you about your skin! Can’t wait to go back!!!

Shila has been a life saver for me for the past 3 years now. I came into her office desperate and on my last hope. I had been to dermatologists in the past, tried Proactiv, tried literally everything to clear my acne and nothing worked, but I heard about getting acne facials from an esthetician to clear up cystic acne and luckily for me I found Shila on my first attempt! She was very straightforward in the consultation and she knew exactly what products would work best for my skin type and acne severity and recommended getting acne facials every month or so. At first I was skeptical, but decided to try this new skin regimen that she recommended anyway. Within a couple of weeks, I saw huge changes in my skin between the products (PCA skincare line) and the acne facial. Today, 3 years later, my skin is nearly flawless and I can walk around without makeup-​something I NEVER thought I’d be able to do. On top of Shila doing great work, shes also so personable and nice that you feel like you’re hanging out with a friend. She truly cares about all her clients and that is obvious from the first time meeting her until today. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend anyone whose unsure about their skin issues to go at least talk to her and find out for yourself how healthy your skin can look!

Always my go-​to place for a good facial. Melissa is AMAZE and always takes her time making sure my face looks as good as possible. Definitely recommend

Shila always has my skin feeling great! I have only been her client for a month and don’t trust anyone else with my skin. I’ve always struggled with acne and her products are working miraculously. She knows what she is talking about when it comes to skin, and she is also extremely sweet and personable! I would recommend Shila to anyone who wants their skin to look amazing!

I do not think she knows how good she really is. I have been going to Shila for a few years now. shila’s the miracle worker for my skin! to be honest, I was really breaking out and acne was getting bad. I was told by a friend to go see her. and what can I say I don’t break out anymore. She put me on a PCA skin care line and I get facials once a month. She is not only one of the most amzing lovely women I kow and has really become a real friend, she knows her stuff. I tell everybody about her but then kind of worried she wont have time for me :)

The staff and service here are superb! The owner is attentive and friendly. I always leave happy with my Brazilian wax job. I’ve been a loyal customer for a few years now.

I am so happy I found a new skincare specialist Shila and she is really really good at it. I just moved to Irvine not too long ago and I was still commuting to Beverly Hills to get my facials. I was Unilocaling and found Shila and her reviews were awesome so I decided to give it a try. I wanted to go in for my yearly microdermabrasion but she introduced me to hydramicrodermabrasion and it was wonderful!!! My skin was glowing, clean and clear. And still is today and its been almost a week now. She took her time and her neck message really made the service worth every penny. The 2 lines on my forehead and the two lines between my eyebrows has soften up. I have great skin but I would only trust certain people to work on my skin. I will be going back for more services. I am always willing to pay for exceptional service and exceptional quality. And I found it here.

shila’s the miracle worker for my skin! to be honest, breaking out and acne was never an issue for me until recent years and it’s been an uphill battle since day 1.
shila is able to keep my skin under control via monthly facials. my skin always feels rejuvenated and deep cleansed after each 1 hr session. i also feel much more relaxed because a shoulder massage is included during the facial session.
let time & patience be your allies when it comes to breakouts. nurture your skin with care when nature chooses to work against you. make sure you use the products shila recommend, i learned the hard way couple of times and my skin started breaking out from not listening to the subject matter expert :(
shila’s a sweetheart and is so professional. she’s definitely the expert in skincare and can give you the best recommendations and consultation!

Shila is amazing! My Mom, Dad, husband and I have been going to her for years and will not let anyone else give us a facial. She deserves 10 gold stars!

Shila is AMAZING! I studied abroad in Paris 2 years ago and usually my skin is great, no zits, no redness, nothing. Well, as soon as I got back to the states my entire face exploded. I don’t mean that I had a few tiny breakouts but deep cystic painful ones, it was so bad that I didn’t even want to leave the house. I was telling one of my friends about my dilemma and she recommended shila… BEST ADVICE EVER! I booked my appointment by calling and explained by situation and she got me in the very next day. After looking at my skin and discussing some of the concerns I had about spending to much (hey i’m a college student on a budget) she recommended the acne facial which includes extractions and a high frequency laser treatment that kills bacteria. Unlike other salons that only have 30 minute appointments for this type of facial Shila took a full hour on my skin and chatted with me at various intervals to make me feel comfortable. Afterwards she went over the different products that she used on my skin and could tell that I was a little hesitant about spending the full amount, so she sold me one of her travel sized options which is usually just for display. Let me just say that it’s been 2.5 years and I STILL use the same skin care line (PCA Skin) that she sold me and I won’t use anything else. Her salon is the ONLY place that I’ve found so far in Orange County where you can actually buy this product because typically its only sold for professional use. The following day there was a discernible difference in the size and number of breakouts on my face and after one week of using PCA Skin things were definitely on their way to healing up. A few weeks and appointments later I noticed this crazy looking machine next to the facial table, and was told that it was used on those that wanted a hydra facial. I questioned Shila about it and she let me know what it was and what it did. Usually this type of facial is $ 300 but Shila does it for I believe around $ 140 AND because it was my first time and she was aware of my situation she gave me a very generous discount!!! I honestly can’t say enough nice things about this woman, she saved my skin and introduced me to an amazing product that has changed my life! She is amazing and truly cares about her clients!

I came here a few months ago and was helped by Melissa. She was wonderful! Great customer service. She provided me with a great facial! It was my first facial ever. It was pricey but well worth the time you get to relax. She walks you through everything she’s doing. Also she gives great tips on how to keep skin looking good! :)

About a year and a half ago, I began having a lot of issues with my skin to the point where it was affecting my mood.
I experimented with products, met with dermatologists, and did everything of my power to prevent/​control the breakouts on my face. Nothing had worked and after about 6 months of waiting for results to miraculously occur I decided to look on Unilocal for a good facial spa and Skin by Shila immediately popped up on the list.
I looked at her reviews and decided to give her a try because she’s got nothing but 5 stars and to this day i’m thankful that I had gone with my instincts.
Within about 6 months of regularly meeting up with Shila for facials, my skin improved tremendously. My breakouts were gone, my pores were smaller, my skin was smoother, and my blemishes were diminishing. Even my friends and family began noticing the results.
All thanks to Shila.
She really does wonders! So stop those costly visits to the dermatologists who just prescribe you medications that make your face all red and dry and put your money where it really counts! She’s an acne specialist with a kind heart. You’ll love her just as much as I do :)

This my first time coming here to see Davina. I had a body wrap/​massage combo and it was great. It was a very beautiful and peaceful setting with the sound of wind chimes n water fountains… I felt very refreshing after my session I would surely come back and recommend it to my family and friends :)

I have been going to see Shila every month for 8 years now for a facial.
She is the best there is. Shila customizes everything she does to her customer’s specific needs. She is so friendly and sweet and all her clients love her. I have recommended so many people to her and they all love her too. Her prices are very reasonable and my skin has never looked better!!!

Shila is awesome! She has done wonders for my skin ever since i’ve been going to her. I highly recommend her facials, microdermabrasion and chemical peels. I’m extremely happy with the results I have gotten.

Shila has been doing my facials for a year now and is the BEST!
*Her ability to customize my facial each visit depending on my skin’s needs is perfect.
**Not to mention the feeling of relaxation you feel because of the wonderful neck and shoulder message she gives.

I have been going to Shila for about a year. I am very pleased with the services. From day one I felt comfortable and at ease. I came in knowing nothing about waxes and I had no idea what to expect other than that it hurts. I have been a customer ever since.

I have been going to Melissa since she started in the business (a couple years ago) and i can honestly say that I have never been happier with the appearance of my skin as well as it’s overall condition.
I’ve invested considerable amounts of money, time and resources over the course of my lifetime into damage prevention and anti-​aging. I’ve seen a considerable amount of service providers and feel that hands-​down Melissa is the most thorough and professional of them all. She focuses on educating the client, so they know about their conditions and the necessary ways to treat them. This is so much more helpful then someone giving a ‘one size fits all’ facial or treatment. Each visit I come away looking and feeling great in addition to knowing more about my skin and the best ways to treat it.
The spa is an upscale boutique style spa offering just about any kind of skin and body-​care service a I could hope for. I go in regularly for oxygen facials, waxing, spray tans and slimming body wraps. A lot of spas offer services and specials, but I’m loyal to Melissa because every service is done with the time, attention, quality and care we all expect but often don’t always receive.
