Urban Calm

I was referred to this spa by a friend and went in for a facial with Heidi and it AMAZINGGGG! Heidi is such a sweet and professional person. It was the most relaxing facial I have ever received and I left glowing. I will definitely be going back.

Fabulous facial from Samantha. I take my facials seriously and this was one of the best. My skin takes a beating while I’m traveling and this facial was just what I needed. Feel like a new woman.

Just had a microdermabrasion w/​Heidi! Amazing and relaxing experience! I highly recommend this service to rejuvenate your skin after summer. :)

This was my first spa experience, and I loved it. The hot stone massage felt incredible. The mani/​pedi left my hands and feet looking wonderful. I was a little skeptical about getting the facial, but I wasn’t paying for it, and it was included in my spa package. I didn’t realize just how good my skin could look and feel until after this treatment. I swear they have taken a few years off of my face.

Went in last week for a massage with Viya, and had an amazing experience. I am a veteran to all types of massage, and her style really jived with my needs. I am a hairdresser who has chronic back aches but now I feel like a million bucks. Loved the aromatherapy and the whole experience. I will definitely be back!

I’ve been coming here for 5 years and I refuse to get my eyebrows done anywhere else. I’ve gone to numerous nail salons and I was never satisfied with how my eyebrows turned out, but then I found urban calm and Brenda worked her magic! Not only will she make your brows look amazing but she is also super nice!

Best massage that i have ever received. Would really recommend coming here. I had a slight sports injury and came in for an hour and half session. Felt awesome coming out of this experience.

I would give more than 5 stars, if I could. Just had a facial and massage and they were both amazing. Had a facial by Samantha and it was THE BEST facial I’ve ever had. I will definitely go back here and give these services as a gift!!!

I continue to patronize Urban Calm and have not gone ANYWHERE else to have someone take care of my eyebrows although it is quite a drive for me. Heidi, Brenda, and their receptionist, Sheena are all sweethearts and in over five years of patronage, I have never left feeling anything less than complete satisfaction with the services provided.

I’ve been coming to Brenda for eyebrow threading for 4 years now. She’s a perfectionist with an eye for detail and I always come away happy with the shape and having enjoyed my time with her.

This is the best place in San Diego! They take care of the details. We agree on the treatment ahead of time. And it is the best quality. Can’t imagine going anywhere else. Brenda’s professional skill has me glowing and refreshed each time, and she is a great person.

I have been using Urban Calm for over a year now and I just went in for a post holiday session. Heidi wisely hired Vaia as a new massage therapist and I could not be happier! Great energy and an excellent massage! One of the best therapy sessions I have ever had. You will not be disappointed.

My husband found this Spa on Unilocal and suggested I give it a try while we were visiting San Diego. All I have to say is WOW. Amazing experience from start to finish. Heidi was warm and friendly. Viya (I hope I spelled that right) gave me a relaxing full body massage paying special attention to my tense neck and shoulders, and made sure to use a eucalyptus-​free oil so I wouldn’t have an allergic reaction.
Wonderful job ladies. Too bad I’m from out of town, but I will definitely be back!

I usually need one of those painful deep tissue massages to work out the computer-​induced kinks in my shoulders, neck and back. Yet somehow, Sonia had me so relaxed that I was dozing off while she worked her magic — my muscles are like wet noodles under her power, and there was no extra charge for the neck adjustment that my relaxed state allowed. Ha, ha! Sonia is truly amazing!

Update: Urban Calm made it right. Just triple check when booking any specials or deals so you don’t get surprised at check out. And I was told to wait a week for results on the light therapy, so I will wait a week to see if the results are better.
I’ve been here two times now. First time was on a Saturday morning, I booked a microdermabrasion and thought I was getting their summer deal for $ 99. Apparently that is only during the week. So when I made my second appt I made sure to mention that I wanted the deal and booked the next closest time, she said either Friday or Tues. So I booked the soonest — which was Friday. Came in, she talked me into some sort of light therapy — said there was no difference in price or length of time and said I would see more results. So I did it, I figured I should trust the expert and since there was no difference, why not right? Well, when I went to pay — turns out the deal is only tues — thurs and also doesn’t apply to the light therapy. Of course not. So I am very upset.
I will say that Samantha took her time and made me feel relaxed so I still tipped 20% on top of the $ 125 that I didn’t want to pay. I am still upset that she changed the therapy and also tried to up sell me a $ 35 0.5 oz of clove oil. But I would still recommend her for relaxation. I just saw NO change with the light therapy what so ever so I will not be back. Over-​priced, been twice now for a supposed deal, and ended up paying $ 150 for a facial. To relax I’ll just use my massage envy membership, I was trying to get real results which the light therapy just did not give me.

I’m going to make this short and sweet, spa goers: Urban Calm was impeccably fantastic from start to finish.
I had the pregnancy massage and the Vitamin C facial. A-​mazing! The staff was friendly and warm, and the beds and robes was like falling on clouds and straight to Zzz world. They got straight to business and didn’t miss one spot.
Great spot. It’s a shame I don’t live in San Diego… would seriously consider riding the amtrak just to come back!

Very clean and calm environment that is tastefully decorated inside. It was so relaxing that I couldn’t even believe it was in downtown! I got a quick tea tree facial and was amazing. It definitely refreshed and brighten up my skin tone. I am absolutely going back in a few weeks for another facial and purchase some of the products! Thank you!

Now that I’m leaving San Diego altogether I want to update my review to say that if I could give 100 stars, I would. Heidi and her entire team are real gems. Every service I’ve ever had there has been relaxing, thorough and professional.
If you need your brows done, Heidi is a genius. However, all the girls that work there are amazing and I’ve been waxed and had facials from all of the staff members and I’ve never been disappointed.
They now have acupuncture and Sonia (the acupuncturist) is fantastic. I highly recommend her for treatments, she is personable, professional and really knows her stuff.
Finally, the hubby goes here for massages/​facials and he loves them as well so it’s a man-​approved spot! :)
It’s really nice to see a place that has kept up their quality over the years and whenever I’m back in town I will be sure to pop in for a visit!

Urban Calm is amazing! I LOVE this place! I have been coming here for a couple of years now for both eyebrow threading and facials. Heidi is a perfectionist when it comes to your brows and I can’t tell you how many people have complimented me on them. As far as the facials go, I only wish I could come here every week. My skin has never looked better! Not to mention that it is so relaxing.
I love the organic products Heidi uses. My skin is very sensitive and these products do not irritate my skin at all.
I found Heidi on Unilocal years ago in hopes of finding the perfect eyebrow threader… so glad that I did! You will be too!

Although seemingly bougie, the past couple of years have really reinforced that getting a facial is a necessity component of overall maintenance, similar to getting the oil changed on a car.
After looking high and low for a new place in San Diego, I made an appointment at Urban Calm based on its Unilocal reviews. I wanted to go somewhere that used organic/​natural products (as that’s something that I’m generally working towards using more than not). The cost was a little higher that I was used to paying in Vegas. But let me just say, it was totally worth it. Lately, my skin has been crankier than usual — and that’s saying a lot because my skin was particularly cranky after living in the desert for five years.
I booked the Tea Tree facial with Stephanie and it was amazing! I’ve had my fair share of facials, and this was the most pampered that I’ve ever felt. I was able to truly relax during the session. The extractions, while not particularly pleasant, were not unbearable. I felt that she was gentle and methodical — especially during the cleansing and extraction processes — and really took the time she explain the products she was using and why. Maybe it’s in my head, but I also felt that the products she used were really effective; my skin still feels really soft and clean.
The whole place just gives off this relaxing and calming vibe.
