Natural Illumination

I found Jen and this wonderful spa years ago with a groupon and so thankful I did! My mom and I both frequent here and ever since we did our skin never looked so good!!!
What I absolutely love about Jenn is I can walk in and have no clue what kind of treatment my skin needs and she will take a look and know exactly what it needs. She really takes her time with you and gives you the full treatment, massages included! This is my go to place when I need a break from my everyday routine.
She is the sweetest person and I look forward to my monthly facials. Try her for your next facial you will be happy you did!!!

A friend recommended Jen to me almost a year ago and I have been going to her regularly ever since for her wonderful dermaplane facial. She’s so sweet, knowledgeable and effective. My skin glows for weeks after seeing her. She never pushes products (unless you ask for a rec) and is wonderful about answering your questions and providing education about the skincare that’s best for you. Highly recommend!

I have been going to Jen for dermaplane and facials for over a year now. I actually found her on Unilocal and am so glad I did! She is great and my skin always looks amazing after my treatments! All my friends now go to her too :)

I am so lucky to have found this hidden treasure spa and Jen Brown in Newport Beach. I have been going to get the most unbelievable Dermaplane Facial here. Jen is so efficient, friendly, and the best esthetician with great prices. Check out her website for selections and great services:

Jennifer is the best! My skin has never looked better. I look forward to my treatments because she is so sweet and personable.

Jen has the hands of an angel! I learned about her services through a Groupon promotion and haven’t stopped seeing her since. The space is calm and relaxing. My skin is always glowing after a treatment with her. The products she uses are absolutely wonderful and almost good enough to eat! I’m happy to recommend her to anyone who desires regular maintenance or just pampering once in a while.

Jen is the BEST. I’d originally gone to her a couple years ago and got a great facial, but wasn’t getting regular facials back then. Recently I got into the habit of monthly facials, and remembered what a great experience I’d had at Natural Illumination. I’ve since been going to Jen for a microderm and facial each month, and could not be happier. She is so sweet, her location is convenient, her space is nice and relaxing, and she does SUCH a great job– words could not explain. I also have an incredibly hectic schedule, and she is very responsive, available on short notice, and so accommodating of my crazy time restrictions. I always walk out feeling like a million bucks. Could not recommend Natural Illumination enough.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Jen’s amazing work! She is sweet, humble and very talented. She is very tedious in her work and definitely will go the extra mile for her customers.
I started going to Jen about a year ago and I instantly connected with her; I felt like we had been friends for years! She is very knowledgable and very meticulous with extractions (which I LOVE)! She is very skilled and attentive to client’s needs. Every single session she will take the time to listen to my concerns and throughout the process she’ll walk me through the stages of the facial (cleaner, toner, peel, etc) which I really appreciate. I really like how I’m able to go in for my facial, talk to Jen and still feel relaxed during the process; I especially love the results!
Jen is honest and will not sell you a service you do not need! You will not be disappointed!

I highly recommend this place!!! Jen and Danielle are both so great at what they do. Jen has given me a microderm and not only did she work on my face but gave me such a nice relaxation shoulder and neck massage! Shes so sweet and knowledgable.
Danielle is also just as amazing! My small group of girlfriends have been going to her for years now and we have nicknamed her butterfingers. Her touch is so soft and gentle which makes your face melt in her hands. She has so much experience and it shows!
It is also great that they are both nurses!

I’ve been going to Jen for a few years, her microderm, dermaplane, and oxygen facial are amazing! Tremendous results and a wonderful experience every single time. I just recently had my eyelashes tinted and was very happy with the results-​will definitely book that service again! This business deserves more than 5 stars!

As a guy, I was a little uncomfortable with the idea of getting some spa treatment with this being my first one. However; I highly recommend it and this place is very relaxing. Lindsey is the very professional woman that did my facial service. Not only was she very educated on everything she was doing and explaining the process, she really put a first-​timer like myself at ease with her soothing touch and relaxing ‘cloud 9′ music.
Without question I have been recommending Natural Illumination to all my female friends and guy friends.
Top Notch !!!

I got a acne facial here from Jenn. I really appreciated the ambiance of the little studio! I wish I took pictures, it’s adorable. The owner really put great taste in all aspects of the place. The service itself was fabulous, relaxing, and professional. My skin feels great, and I get compliments on it :) thanks Natural illumination !

I saw Jennifer for a Dermaplane/​Microderm facial. This woman works wonders! She is so sweet, personable, professional, educated and all around awesome!
As I fellow Esthetician, I know a good spa when I see one :) She has it down! Clean environment, beautifully decorated and relaxing.
Loved my facial, my skin is glowing. I was super relaxed throughout the entire facial.
I recommend this place to everyone!
(finding the spa is a little tricky, so make sure you get there early)

I recently entered my 30^th year in life so I figured it was about time for me to start worrying about my face (#wrinklesaretheenemy).
Lindsey was just the woman for the job. She is AMAZING. Not only was she super cute, friendly, and funny, she is incredibly professional and REALLY knows what she is doing. She plays soothing music as she conducts the facial and massages your shoulders, arms, and neck. and I must say she has strong hands for such a small person!
I walked out of there feeling (as Outkast would say) so fresh, and so clean! Not to mention the products she used specifically for my skin were PERFECT. I had no breakouts whatsoever. Loved it so much I didn’t waste any time booking another appointment. I got my first one on a groupon but have no problem paying full price. Oh and I have to recommend the microdermabrasion. Totally worth it!
I also go to her for my Brazilians and let me tell ya… I have gone to others in the past to get my lady parts nice and smooth… and let me tell ya… those others have all been put to shame by Lindsey’s skill. Women who have had Brazilian waxes in the past all know, they can be quite uncomfortable if you don’t go to the right person. Well, now you have the right person. She makes you feel very comfortable and leaves you so silky and smooth!
The place is tucked away so it was a little hard to find, but if you call they are more than happy to guide you! When you walk in the front room is super cute and calming. The room you get your actual facial in is verrrry soothing, and the perfect temp.
In conclusion, it was a fantastic experience and I will be getting facials and any waxing I may need from Lindsey for the rest of my life. Good day.
I said GOOD DAY! :-)

I (24 y/​o female) was referred to Natural Illumination by my mom. At the time, I started experiencing break outs along my jawline, neck, and cheek area. I don’t know what caused it. It just happened one day, and it kept getting worse for about a year until I decided to get it professionally treated. I’ve been going once every ~6 weeks for the past 6 months. The treatment I’ve been getting includes a microdermabrasion and peel combo, and it takes an hour.
During my first treatment, Jen explained every product and procedure and their purposes, which was really helpful because I had no idea what was going on. I started noticing a difference in my skin about a week later. My existing acne started clearing up and left fewer, less prominent scars than did my previous acne. During the next few weeks, I also didn’t break out as much either. This was the trend that I continued to experience after each treatment.
Right now, my skin is doing very well. I still get some acne periodically, but I don’t get intense, overly grotesque break outs, like I did before I first started getting treatments. My previous scars have also been clearing up. I’m at the point where I see more skin than I see scars!
I will continue to see Jen because she knows how to take care of my skin. She’s also very sweet and professional :). Thank you!

I came here after purchasing a groupon deal for a facial and eyebrow wax. The online scheduling service is very convenient and your best bet because it is hard to contact them by phone during the day. Lindsey did my facial/​brow wax and she was awesome! She seems to be very knowledgeable and and gave me great product recommendations that weren’t extremely pricey. I will definitely be back for another facial! The only downside is that you have to book about a week in advance because the slots online fill up fast– so think ahead!

I bought the groupon deal and I loved it! Lindsey was amazing and I would come back! She was really sweet, kind, profesional, and informative!
The only reason I gave it 4 stars is becuase I was confused when I got there. All they have is a clipboard to fill out with no sign saying anything. Some infoamtional sign would be helpful.

I came in last weekend for some post holiday skin pampering from Lindsay. I have been to tons of places for facials over the years and getting a facial is like hitting up a singles bar… sometimes you get lucky, other times you strike OUT.
Lindsay gave me a great facial, with a great hand and neck massage, so relaxing and calming and she also gave me a great eyebrow wax. I’ve had facials where I have actually wondering if the person has fallen asleep… I’m not kidding. Once I was lying on the table with my eyes covered… I heard no movement from the facialist for the longest time. I was starting to get scared… what happened… like did she pass out or something? Do I need to call 911? Other times I have actually heard people texting while I’m lying on the table. None of those sorts of shenanigans happened with Lindsay… so I will be back!

Good:
1. Friendly customer service
2. Got help finding the hidden location over the phone
3. Facial was good-​extractions made my skin feel renewed and great
4. Reasonable Groupon deal
Bad:
1. Location difficult to find. It’s hidden and there is no sign in the entrance. You have to park first, walk inside and then it’s visible. The employee that helped me over the phone said «I should have checked the website for directions before I came».
2. Only received 40 minute service although they state it’s an hour service.
3. Nothing special about the location itself. I’ve been to many other places that are more relaxing.

Bought a Groupon for Microdermabrasion and facial.
It is true that the place is tucked away in a business complex in Fashion Island, but not difficult to find. The name is clearly marked outside the building.
I agree with everyone else that Jennifer is very warm, nice and welcoming. The place is clean, welcoming and cute inside.
She had me take off my shoes, bra and tshirt and get under the blanket… I thought it was a little odd that she asked me to take of my bar and tshirt… but I thought ok… maybe she just doesnt want to get anything on me… I did as I was told and got under the blanket. My to my (pleasant) surprise, she had an electric blanket on under there. YAY! It was so warm and nice! Especially since its been a cold winter!
Since it was my first time getting mirco, she explained the process, what it felt like and what it does for your skin…
The micro part lasted only a few minutes. She spent the rest of the time on the facial which I really enjoyed. All her products smelled sooooo good. Not sure what brand/​line she uses… I didnt ask. There were several steps and one was putting a mask on and wrapping my face in a warm towel… while that was sitting, she did a massage on my shoulders, arms and hands… (Now it made sense why she asked me to take off my bra and tshirt, LOL)
The whole experience was was really calming and relaxing.
My only issue is that she didnt give me any after care instructions. Thus, 4 stars instead of 5… I went online and read about what to expect my skin to be like over the next week and what to do.
All in all, it was worth it and I was glad I bought the Groupon.
