Editorial Review for Spa Radiance – by Gina Goff
The Scene
A mainstay on the errand circuit of Pac Heights' socialites, this bi-level spa is a bucolic oasis, awash with warm tones. The street-level lobby boasts soothing, caramel-colored walls, baby blue crown moldings and rustic, pine wood shelves stocked with a bevy of beauty products. Perky employees guide customers to a small waiting area with plush sofas and a refreshment table supplied with chilled lime water, fresh fruit and Hershey's Kisses. Classical tunes and thick mattresses covered in down-feather comforters await clients in treatment rooms.
The Services
The pricey menu of services caters to the upper-crust with uber-indulgent options such as the $750 Grand Luxe diamond peel and cellulite-busting endermologie sessions. Slightly more conventional (and more affordable) services include hot stone massages, seven varieties of Brazilian waxes, coffee-grounds body scrubs and microdermabrasion--a pore-vacuuming process that removes dead cells and leaves skin hydrated and baby smooth.
The Details
Massage, endermologie, body treatments, facials, hair removal, sunless tanning, makeup application, manicure/pedicure.

I got the organic facial and that was a HUGE mistake. I was warned that it was going to burn a little, which I thought was weird, but sat through the burning anyway. I don't even have sensitive skin. Regardless, it probably burned a little more than it should have because unfortunately it left me looking like I had razor burn along my chin and jaw line, so bad I took a day off of work. The following day I had a dry skin beard and little flakes of skin kept falling onto my keyboard at work (GROSS!!). I will never go back there again. You've been warned.
Pros: my appointment started on time
Cons: parking, high prices, no skills

I have been to more or less every spa in the city since moving here 2 years ago. I will never go anywhere else after finding this place. BEST FACIALS EVER. EVER. Julia is amazing. The products are great, service is great. Worth the $$ and it is usually (surprisingly) easy to book appointments.
Pros: NO SALES PRESSURE; eco-friendly organic products (vegan nail polish!); i love skin ceuticals and they have the whole line; extremely knowledgeable estheticians
Cons: None! well, a little pricey, but worth every penny
