One of the best facials I've ever had

by laylabee

A friend gave me a gift certificate here for my birthday and it was one of the best facials I've ever had.

It's a relaxing, comfortable place to treat yourself but it's not inexpensive.

I would recommend buying a gift certificate here for a gift or treating yourself as a splurge.

• Pros: Very nice spa
• Cons: Expensive

BEST PLACE FOR RELAXATION AND RENEWAL

by ValRoses

I wanted to write a review for my mother because she raved to all of her family members, co workers, and friends on how much she loved her massage with Alisha and facial with Alona. My mother received a gift certificate from myself and brothers for Christmas. We choose Gaia because they're an Organic Spa and I thought it would be perfect to introduce my mother to exquisite products that are very beneficial to her barely over 40 age! My mother lives in Spring Valley and she adores relaxing near the coast so I searched online to see what spas were organic and near the coast and saw that Gaia is located in La Jolla, which was perfect because then I can take my mom out for lunch in the village where we can enjoy the ocean view after her very relaxing and soothing massage and facial. I dropped off my mom 20 minutes prior to her appointment and was greeted by the wonderful and professional receptionist that was so kind to her. My mother was able to relax and escape from all of her worries while waiting in the relaxation room while sipping on Gaia's signature tea. She told me of her treatment room being a private suite that had it's own herbal steam sauna and shower. She said her treatment room had really relaxing spa music that helped her ease her very busy mind. Alisha, her massage therapist, was very attentive to my mother's needs and helped my mother relax being that this was her first massage ever! Followed by her massage she had a 65 minute Gaia Organic Facial that was customized for her skin type. My mom has a lot of cystic acne and Alona was able to help reduce the size of them and recommended products that she was able to purchase after and that actually helped clear her skin. I wanted to thank everyone at Gaia for providing the top most professional customer service for my mother and I. I hope that now I can await a gift card from my mother for my upcoming birthday. Hopefully, I can schedule their Signature Banya treatment that I saw the description of online...how exciting....

• Pros: BEST ORGANIC SPA

make gaia your new escape

by elilala

gaia day spa is truly amazing, in all ways. the staff is very nice. evryone smiles at you and greets you right away. the treatments there are phenomenal, the banya is magical, you need to experience it to know the feeling of being awakened to your senses and balanced completely. there are no words to how this treatment leaves you. the gaia organic facial i had was by far the best facial ever! alona was so intuned to my skin needs that after the facial i wanted to give her a hug, but didnt know if it was appropriate. my face feels amazing and clean and so luminous. i had a family dinner and all my sisters raved about how good my skin looked. i felt like a queen being pampered that way, with such care and interest to my needs.
