European Skin & Massage Studio

Had an amazing facial with Margaret couple days ago. It was such a relaxing experience. She gave me a very detailed skin analysis and home product regimen. I loved the products Margaret used on me and the facial massage was super. The atmosphere is so friendly and welcoming. Coming back in a month. Thank you Margaret.

As a professional in the beauty/​hair industry in LA and New York when I come across someone who provides quality service and professionalism I have to share it. As someone who constantly travels to provide excellent hair service and care to my clients I also look for others who stands out and separates themselves from the rest.
On a visit to a studio I came across a Massage Therapist by the name of Van. At that time he was having an event and offered me 20 min trial after I resisted as I informed him of how picky I was on having a massage. I explained in detail ;-) how demanding and not an easy client I am to please. I have been very disappointed in the past by some who claimed to be the best. To my surprise Van made no claims except to ask that I give him a try.
With very little time left in my schedule and seduced by his charm, I agreed to give him a try. From the moment he began, I already knew he would be «Amazing»! He listened to my massage needs and executed accordingly. He is by far the most knowledgeable massage therapist I have ever experienced.
I highly recommend Van for the ladies and the Gents who are seeking the best massage in all Los Angeles.

Margret is just amazing! Everyone needs to experience her facial! She knows exactly what you need and goes above and beyond!

I just want to thank Charlene for taking such good care of me! I’ve been a hairstylist for almost 11 years and the back pain has finally caught up to me. She has really helped my back in so many ways. She listens to exactly what I want. You can’t put a price tag on a great message. Charlene is worth every penny and more. Thanks again for taking such good care of me every two weeks! Your the best!!!

I love this please they are always able to accommodate me on anytime. Best massage I’ve had in a while and very relaxing space. They’re having an amazing special right now that allows me to get everything done in one place it’s like a one stop shop! Charlene and staff are super nice and helpful and I would recommend them to anyone.

Currently unable to move from bed on day two after my massage. I had asked for a light pressure aromatherapy massage, and she focused for about half that time on my neck and head. It felt wonderful while she was doing it, but about ten minutes afterward as I was starting to walk home, I was overtaken by a crushing pain in my neck and head and had to hail a Lyft home. I think she may have irritated a nerve or something – my face is swollen, my eyesight is blurry, I have zombie-​like dark circles around my eyes, shooting pain down my neck and arm, and an unceasingly bad headache. This was my first and assuredly last experience here. I get regular massages elsewhere, but purchased a Gilt City voucher for here. Never had a problem at my regular massage studio, so I’m not sure what went horribly wrong here.

I love them! Best massage I have ever had, I get a lot of massages & she is amazing. Charlene has magic hands! Took my mom for her birthday, she got a facial with Magda. She was glowing! Couldn’t say enough good things. We both plan to come back monthly. The prices are unbeatable with top of the line services & products. Really the best price & services around! Beautiful spa rooms & everyone is so friendly. The nails by Melina are spa quality & they offer waxing to! Gonna be my go to place for everything. Thankyou Ladies:)

I wanted to indulge myself and chose the Hydra Facial, aka the red carpet treatment. What a treat! For one hour, Margaret cleaned, massaged and hydrated my skin. She has been my beautician for years, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. She has done many facials for me, but the hydra facial was quite exceptional. I booked another one as soon as it was done. I came out with my skin feeling so smooth. I felt like a star indeed!
She also does teen facials. My 13 year old daughter absolutely loves Margaret. She is so sweet and gentle, and she does her eyebrows just like she wants (and I want…). Next occasion I find, I will book for a mum-​daughter treat: facials and manicures for both of us.

I thought their service was amazing with great staff, they are friendly and their facial worked. They have all the products you need there and you can find some coupons down the hall at Starling & Sparrow in studio 2 because the owner there is pleased with their service especially in facials

Best Massage ever!!!
I had a gift card for Mother’s Day and decided to treat my self for a massage. The experience was so wonderful I’ll surely be back for seconds… My massage by Charlene was just what I was looking for. I came to her with a really sore body after I just recently moved some boxes several flights of stairs. I was so sore I could barely sit down or walk straight without a slight limp. I explained to Charlene, my masseuse, the reason for my visit and she took me into her wonderful hands. She felt I was developing several knots on my shoulder and calf muscles. Her pressure and attention was right on point. After the 1hr treatment she suggested some at home treatments including warm baths with essential oils to continue to relax my muscles. I felt completely comfortable with her knowledgeable advice, I booked my 2^nd massage treatment before I left the spa.
A good therapist is hard to find.
I’ll be coming back for my second treatment and will be bringing my sister for a facial. The location and surrounding area is so beautiful I want to make a girls day out of it. Plan ahead for a relaxing day. This location offers Massage, Facial, and Nails. The Spa is right in the center of the Santa Monica promenade with great restaurants to choose from — not to mention the ocean as your backdrop. Thank You Charlene — your Hands are Heavenly.

I had the most amazing facial by lovely and sweet heart Margaret. Was so so wonderful. I know her many years. she is very friendly and kind, I never had facial like this she gave me, love her hands so gentle, except facial she clean your face clean your eyebrows, and give you amazing massage so relaxing. i really recommend to visit her, love you Margaret and can’t wait to see again, Fay Union bank

You will place yourself in skilled hands if you have a facial by Magda. I discovered her over a year ago and since then she has been my go to person for keeping my skin looking healthy and smooth. Each visit starts with an assessment of your skin, then on to extractions and appropriate treatment. She never leaves you unattended as she pampers you with her elixirs and neck and shoulder massages.
I have also found her products perfect for my sensitive skin.
This place is a treasure chest of caring and generous people. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

I was totally blown away by the location– a block from the beach! The design of each room is modern, sleek and comfortable. Margaret gave me an amazing facial and brow wax. I highly recommend a visit!

I just had the most AMAZING massage by Charlene! So relaxing and she really got deep into the areas where I am really tight and knotted up. I work out every day and my body is wrecked from lifting heavy weights… Charlene was able to target those problem areas with just the right amount of pressure! I feel like a new person! I recommend her to everyone and will be seeing her again and again!

Thank you Charlene and Team for an amazing Experience!
My Fiancé and I came in to the New location at Salon Republic and had an amazing time. We both got the Hydrofacials which left my skin feeling flawless and so clean!
I will be back for my Monthly Manicures. The set up is great, the options and amenities are unmatched.
Thank you!

North Village Skincare has moved to two beautiful studios in Salon Republic in Santa Monica. They’re also adding a third studio for nails. They’re thorough, gentle and incredibly friendly. I don’t trust anyone else with my skin and will follow them wherever they go!

I’ve been a loyal client of Charlene’s for years. Charlene and her staff have always been consummate professionals. Their facials and massages are wonderful and I feel so relaxed when I leave, like I’ve been on a «mini» vacation. It is a huge treat for me and my skin has never looked better! I was really eager to try their new HydraFacial system after seeing it on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and I am very pleased with the results! I look forward to her treatments every month! Thank you!

This place is such a gem. I went once and totally loved it. Charlene is amazing as well as Magda. I got a little busy with life and was unable to go in for awhile but I received a nice message as a friendly reminder about the place which was amazing and totally influenced me to check it out again!

Charlene and her staff are second to none. When I first came across North Village Skin Care, I couldn’t believe the prices– $ 65 for a medical grade facial on the west side? I didn’t believe it.
The facial was spectacular. Similar to a facial I received at a high end spa in Santa Monica for $ 125, but this one was even more involved :) I was having a breakout so a very calming and refreshing mask was brushed on to help heal and protect from future breakouts. Each facial is customized to what your skin needs– they even infused my skin with oxygen for great firming effects! My facialist made me feel so comfortable at all times. I was so relaxed that I feel asleep. When I woke up, I felt brand new.
I’ve got to come back and buy some products. I loved the way they smelled– so light and fresh. I have sensitive skin and so I have trouble finding lotions and serums that don’t break me out– my skin loved these! And, the price is right!
North Village is the best kept secret in the Palisades. Once you visit, you will never go anywhere else for a facial again :)
