Lavish Beauty & Wellness Spa

First facial here was amazing however the person went on leave. Second time was just meh… I didn’t hate it but didn’t love it either. With so many other options I will pass.

Whenever you go in for a timed service, be sure to look at the time on your phone or watch.
I came in recently for a microdermabrasion treatment and just wanted to share my experience. My appointment was at 2:30pm and I was taken to a room around 2:33pm. I told the esthetician that I wanted to get the microdermabrasion to help with some scars that I have. She suggested that I do some sort of peel instead and so I agreed to give it a try.
Before she could do the peel on me, she needed to call her boss to see if she could use some of the product. She left the room for a few minutes and then came back to ask me some questions. Since I’m using a certain type of cream, I wasn’t able to do the peel.
The esthetician started the treatment at 2:40pm. During the treatment, she was very nice and made sure the suction wasn’t too rough on my skin. She did the mircrodermabrasion on my face and neck area. My face definitely feels smoother now. She seems very knowledgeable and knows what she’s doing.
After she finished the treatment, I looked at her clock and it said 3:23. The session seemed quick so I pulled out my phone to look at the time and it was only 3:05pm. On the Lavish website, it says that the microdermabrasion treatment is 45 minutes long. I’m not sure why mine was cut short.

Taline and Qali are both A-​Mazing! I started going to Lavish in 2009 after a friend introduced me to the place, and I have been going ever since. Ever since Qali left for maternity leave I have been seeing Taline, so I can say from experience that when it comes to getting a Brazilian both women know what they’re doing.
Taline and I chat it up the entire appointment! She makes you feel so comfortable while being super professional too. I like that Taline asks you if the wax is too hot and goes the extra steps to make sure you’re comfortable because I hate going to places where people don’t check in.
I know that both Qali and Taline will be MOVING TO PALAZZI’S soon and I will for sure be following them there since they are the only ones I trust to wax me!

Qali is amazing! I just love her to death! I have been going to Lavish Spa since 2010 on and off and I have never once had a problem. I asked to see any one when I was going there to get a Brazilian and they assigned me to Qali, which I am so grateful for. Not to mention how welcoming everyone is at Lavish, from Dona at the front desk to all the employees greeting you with a warm smile, I have never been to such an overall NICE place.
Qali is extremely well versed in what goes into waxing, she makes you feel completely comfortable every time you go, and the great conversation she provides is an added bonus. Its easy on the wallet, which is great for a college student like me.
I recommend Qali for waxing any day of the week, amazing experience every time and a great person!

Lavish is hands down my favorite spa.
I’ve been coming to Liz for my facials for a little over two years now. I love her sense of humor and she doesn’t have a problem carrying a conversation while she’s working through my black heads lol. When I first started seeing her, it was because a family member recommended that I go see if she could help me with my acne. Nothing to crazy, but I definitely needed a facial and she explained the process to me in a way that I learned the way my pores work. The way she described my skin to me made it so that I was able to keep my skin clearer. For me my facials start off as a skin cleaning and eventually become a counseling session x]
The ambience at the spa itself is very calming and «higher-​end» without the snootyness.
Thank you Liz,
–D

Liz: Just had my first facial with Liz last night and I my face definitely had an «O» moment!
My face was on fire from a paprika scrub she used… but she totally made it better by giving my face a scrub every now and again… but I’ve never seen my face look so clean and feel so baby butt smooth before! love u Liz for that! :-D
I ended up ZZzz’ed away somewhere in the middle.
Her chair is awesome. its like a heated lazy boy chair that automatically becomes flat after u sit in it and get situated. (rather than getting on a flat bed like table)
I agree with one of the other reviewers… she definitely uses a «generous» amount of product when doing her facials. Its not like the other places… where at some point you feel the esthetician giving u a rubber burn… Obviously I didn’t know any better until last night!!!
I’ve been waxed by Liz before around May 2010… and she’s totally thorough and patient.

****ANNOUNCEMENT****
STACIA IS LEAVING LAVISH and moving to the Wax Bar. I’m sure all her loyal customers will follow her there. If you want amazing facials, you should too :)

I have been going to Lavish since 2009 and I LOOOOOOVE it there!
Why all the love?
1. They are professional
2. The spa is welcoming and just feels good to be there. The facial room is gorgeously decorated and has comfortable, clean, and cozy bedding on the massage table. Lovely, relaxing music is playing, and it just exudes tranquility.
3. Donna is always so sweet-​I can tell she really cares about each client. Even over the phone.
4. The services and product lines (Such as the 100% organic Emminence) are top quality
5. STACIA!!! She’s the BEST aestheticism I have ever met!
~She does everything with gentle love, intention, consciousness, professionalism, and knowledge.
~I can tell she loves her job and her clients. She cares about the overall health of me and educates me on keeping my skin healthy.
~She never rushes. Never. Have you ever had someone try to rush through your facial, simply going through the motions, sloppily pasting the creams on, and roughing you up every time they touch you??? That will NOT happen with Stacia!
~Have you ever been left alone during your facial while the steamer burns your face or the mask dries up? Ha, Stacia not only stays with you the entire time, but she massages your face, neck, arms, and hands while the mask steams and/​or sets.
~Stacia is also very meticulous when it comes to waxing eyebrows. And she does it with minimal pain!
~Everything Stacia does is to pamper YOU, and it is all top notch!!!
~And she’s great to talk to. :)
6. I love the custom Emminence Facial with LED light treatment. Emminence products smell good enough to eat!
7. They always offer great deals if you join their newsletter!
8. They have a cute boutique of fun gifts and product lines.
Go treat yourself to the BEST spa experience EVER at Lavish!

Stacia has the gentlest touch when it comes to custom facials ($ 90 for 1.5 to 2 hours). I have fallen asleep both times. Her fingers are small and those tiny circular motions from the bridge to tip of my nose kill me every time. I enjoy all the different sensations from humidifying steams, to foamy washes, gritty scrubs, cool masks, and hot towels wrapped around my face. The table is comfortable, heated, and dressed with fuzzy blankets. The dimly lit room decorated with zen lanterns and Tahitian sarongs makes the experience ever more relaxing. I have never felt more pampered.
Eminence beauty products are advertised as hand made and organic. Although on the pricey side, they’re worth it. My skin has not felt smoother, more moisturized, and less pimply in a while. Start small and gradually build yourself up to a small collection by picking up a couple items per visit. They are not pushy about selling the products. Ask they estheticians about what works for your skin type. You can take home samples and decide later.
My skin feels more balanced than it has in years.

I had a customized facial with Stacia and it was amazing!
Just as someone else mentioned, she stays in the room even after the mask is applied. She gave the most relaxing hand and head massage. You truly feel pampered. She offered great tips too.

Such great Lavish experiences time after time. Consistently great service and pleasant and professional demeanor from everyone that’s helped me. Donna, Qali, Liz you guys are great!
I’ve done brazilians and eyebrows with Qali and she has a great technique where it’s relatively reduced in pain (as painless as a brazilian could be).
Liz is an absolute master with my thick unruly eyebrows. I came in and told her I needed to look like Megan Fox and she delivered and then some.
I love the products that I’ve been given to sample and the general ambiance of the location just makes you feel like you’re ready to get pampered. I definitely need to schedule a facial here when I have time and I’m in the area.

Qali at Lavish is amazing.
As close to painless as you can get for waxing. She’s quick, professional, extremely well priced and also a very nice person.
I’d deduct .4 stars because you don’t always get a confirmation call. I forgot my appointment once which was completely my fault, but it’s just nice to get a reminder call. I’ll look past that — just mark your calendars.

This place is not intimidating and easy to keep coming back to. Best of all they don’t try to up sale you by pushing products on you. Their prices are also very reasonable and will leave you relaxed without breaking the bank :)
This review is dedicated to Stacia! She is awesome!!! Stacia is fantastic at both facials and waxing!!! She takes her time waxing and makes sure to get each and every stray hair. I have tried Qali (pronounced Cali) and yes she is fast, but I would always end up having to pluck hairs at home or shave the strays. No fun especially when you are paying for a service that is suppose to detour you from doing this. But since I have been with Stacia I have not been disappointed. Also, Stacia makes you feel super comfortable, not always easy taking your clothes off in front of a stranger to get waxed in places that you don’t show off to everyone. Qali (pronounced Cali) would stay in the room (I wouldn’t say I am a shy person, but I thought this was always kind of awkward). Stacia gives you privacy and makes you feel at ease. I recommend to try Stacia. She has never left me disappointed :)

I’ve been getting my Brazilian wax from Liz for 2+ years. She’s the BEST.
Having someone see my hoo-​ha in all its glory isn’t my idea of a good time (it can be very embarrassing), but Liz is SO good at what she does that you don’t even realize you’re having your privates waxed. She makes you feel comfortable and relaxed and listens to all of my BS — I basically get a counseling session and wax all in one shot.
And she’s fast… I’m normally in and out in under 20 minutes. There’s none of the that re-​waxing the same area over and over again (OUCH!). I’ve had that experience at other so called «spas». And let me tell you, it’s enough to make you never want to wax again.
If you’re looking for a GREAT wax experience, go to Lavish. You will not be disappointed. The spa itself is clean, quiet, and relaxing. It’s located on beautiful Campbell Avenue near lots of nice shops and restaurants. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional.
Oh, and I love the fact that they’re always on-​time and never try to push products on me.

I love this place! I got a gift card here for my birthday and had a facial with Stacia. She is amazing! She did a great job! She gave me a lot of tips about skin care and is really knowledgeable about how what you put in your body affects you.
This place is clean, friendly and reasonably priced. I highly recommend it!

Yep, Lavish is definitely worth all the hype.
Did I mention that Stacia gave me the BEST facial ever!?! Stacia has been doing my eye brows and errr upper lip wax for some time. A month ago I FINALLY got to experience one of her organic facials and holy cow was it ever relaxing. I can’t remember all the details except that everything she put on felt great and smelled delicious. During the facial she gave me lots and lots of tips on how to maintain a good complexion from both the inside and out. I took her up on a couple of her tips and seriously my skin has never looked better.
Not only does Stacia give a mean facial she is truly a pleasure to be around. Don’t you hate it when you get a service done by someone who totally creeps you out or is just plain mean? Not Stacia. She is the sweetest girl and make you feel 100% comfortable.

For Mother’s Day, I booked two facial appointments for my Mom and I at Lavish. Since I’ve never been to a spa in the San Jose area, I had to solely rely on Unilocal to help enlighten me with recommended places — both worthy and affordable.
Thanks to Unilocal reviewers, my mom and I both have declared Lavish to be our favorite go-​to spot for facials after just one incredibly memorable experience. That says a lot — considering that she already knows how to take care of her radiant skin AND has had tons of facials from multiple estheticians.

This charming little spa is hidden in the heart of downtown Campbell. Somehow, they manage to simultaneously be low-​key and unpretentious while sustaining an atmosphere of luxury and elegance.
Lavish is cozy, warm-​hearted, and charismatic — all because of their store’s dainty set-​up and their sincerely amiable staff. Not only is everyone personable, but they also provide exceptional service.
My esthetician was undeniably knowledgeable about skin, and kindly made sure I understood every product that was applied to my face. The extraction portion of our session was, of course, painful and no walk through the park. However, she did a great job of distracting me with fun conversations about TV shows, celebrity gossip, and everything else I love talking about. Before I knew it, my face was once again soothed by more organic miracle products from Hungary!
I love Lavish, and cannot wait to come back again.

UPDATE: I never break out. EVER. Yet I now have two reddish pimples where I was waxed. It makes me wonder… and so I had to take away a star.
It’s not hard to find if you know what to look for. Lavish is located in the parking lot to the right of Cardiff. I love that they have a private lot! No parallel parking for me!
The inside is very cozy, borderline small but I think they make great use of the space. Upon entry they have complimentary teas and snacks while you wait with a nice selection of RECENT magazines. Nothing from 2007 :)
There is a nice selection of skincare and make up products in the atrium as well for you to browse. From what I overheard from the patrons, the products are high quality.
Liz was my esthetician and she was extremely thorough and detailed. I brought a photo to show as an example which I highly suggest. She carried on friendly conversation during the process and really took her time with me. She used very little wax and spent a lot of time tweezing.
My eyebrows look great, if I do say so myself. Liz knows how to deal with asian eyebrows! Asian eyebrows have the tendency to grow downwards and are tricky for people who do not have experience with them. They came out even and my skin with very minor redness.
I’ll be back for sure :)

5 stars all the way.
Went here for my first brazillian and Qali pronounced Cali, was amazing. She totally does not make it awkward or anything always keeping conversation going.
Very clean and neat! They prefer accepting cash and check and a brazillian is 40 $ and I usually tip ten bucks.
They’re always booked up here so make an appointment. But if you’re looking for a good waxer, head to Lavish!

Lavish is a nice lil place with extremely friendly women :) yay!!!
Qali, Donna and Liz are wonderful women… Donna always offers tea or water when you come in. Qali and Liz are friendly. Basically I always feel comfortable and at ease when I am here…
The facial rooms have a nice and appealing décor with soothing music.
And yeah, the services are great!
