Birdie Day Spa

I have had several facials and this is the best one I have ever received. My face was a disaster when I went in, all red and broken out. When I left there, my skin was practically clear and it was glowing. It was amazing and I would go back to la jolla just to get another one. My mother had a massage from here and also was amazed. She was having bad lower back pain, but said the masseuse completely removed it all. She kept talking about it all weekend. Birdie was also super nice and we had an incredibly positive experience

Best facial I’ve ever had (and I’ve worked at 2 major spas) very personalized service. I don’t think I’ve ever had such an advanced screening BEFORE my facial. Birdie asks every question you can think of to better find out how to treat your skin. Also asks you what you feel you need help with. If you want a personalized experience go to Birdie Day Spa, it really is the best customer service in a day spa I’ve ever seen. She will also recommend some products she think will work for you and give you free samples. She is not pushing product on you by any means, she is very sweet and wants you to leave happy and relaxed. I did purchase a product and it was not very $$$ it was very fairly priced and I was happy to have such a nice product to bring home with me. Over all this was a great experience and would highly recommend Birdie Day Spa!

For our 3-​year anniversary celebration, we decided to get some massages at Birdie Day Spa. From the moment we arrived, we felt very welcome and comfortable. We were offered water and/​or tea while we filled out a quick health questionnaire. Since this was a couples massage, they even accommodated us in the same room! Then came the massages, which were absolutely fantastic. I’m into deep tissue, and my therapist had the strongest hands ever. She was also very good at finding all the knots and paying some extra attention to particularly sore spots, she was very knowledgable. Afterwards, we had a wonderful conversation with Birdie, the owner, and our therapists, and I’d say we definitely made some new friends.
Suffice it to say that next time we’re in La Jolla, we’ll give Birdie a call!

I came here without an appointment and Birdie graciously accommodated me. I had a 50-​minute massage with Angel that was great. Even better, I had the best night of sleep I had had in a long time and some of my nagging neck pain miraculously disappeared. I will absolutely be back, both for more massages and also to try Birdie’s signature facials. I’m one happy client!

I’ve been going to Birdie for over 3 years. She customizes her facials depending on ones skin… I actually don’t ever tell her exactly what I want; I just lay down and let her work her magic. I always walk out with brighter and tighter skin and my man always compliments me after I go to her. She is all about natural methods (no surgery, etc.) and eating healthy for your skin. As a bonus, she always does a shoulder, foot and hand massage while your mask sits. Go see her… your skin will look amazing!

I have been seeing Birdie since she was in Salon Sol in Sorrento Valley. Firstly, may I say that I am so happy for her breaking out and opening her own location.
Located in La Jolla, parking is pretty easy because there are dedicated parking spots in front of her spa.
I have very sensitive skin (it turns red and blotchy if I use any harsh detergents, go into the ocean, etc) and I needed some help because i dated a guy that has a beard that is rough. Birdie really customizes her facials for each client because she understands that no two people are the same. On top of making my skin smooth and evening my skin tone, I also learned a LOT about what I should be doing, eating, and just generally felt like a better person.
Her hands are like butter. She is always so connected with you and she gives massages on your feet, hands, and back, and decolette while the customized mask is doing its thing – very worth it for the price.
I have also gotten seaweed body wraps from her and my skin felt tighter immediately.
There are also massage therapists on site if you want more than a facial.
I definitely recommend Birdie for facials in San Diego!

3.5 stars
I went to Birdie a few years back for 2 appointments.
The first spa facial I had was wonderful. Birdie made me feel like a princess and my face left feeling smoother than it had in a long time. I was a student at a time, so $ for a facial was definitely a treat for me. I bought some of the products that she recommended.
The second time I went, her attitude was changed. To be fair, she said she had been to a dentist that day and her teeth ached. Still, she was very negative in spirits, acted like she hated treating my skin because I had so many clogged pores, and berated me for not treating my face right. I am not pimply, I just have lots of blackheads. She had taught me in my first session that I didn’t wash with the right soap, and I was trying to rectify the situation with the soap I bought from her, but still, I do’t know why she would be upset at my clogged pores when she had seen in a couple of weeks before, and I was using her soap, so there should have been gradual improvement.
To top it off, she charged me an extra $ 10 for the «deep cleansing.» But this service was clearly listed as something that should have been provided in my basic facial.
She is a great facialist, but I couldn’t deal with the negative energy and the upcharges. Maybe it was an off-​day, but $ 80 is a lot to spend and deal with someone else’s negative energy and acting like I (the paying customer) was a burden to her. I’d rather go some place more consistent. 3.5 stars.
