Although I haven't been there in a hot while, it is a perfect spa that helps to improve your skin. Indulge in pampering regardless of gender. Worth saving your sanity! I truly recommend it!

I had a really really good experience with this spa. I got a facial and it was one of the best I have had. I have had experiences with facials where it "got the job done" but wasn't relaxing or didn't necessarily feel good. This was everything I hoped it would be. On top of that, the service itself was good-- I was presented with options for upgrades and products to buy but I didn't feel pressured into anything. Their COVID precautions were also thorough and efficient. I would absolutely go back.

The space itself is great, in an unassuming, old army barrack in the Presidio-I actually drove by the place 3 times before calling and the receptionist having to let me know 'yes, that is the correct address.'

The Essential Day Spa & Cosmetics is wonderful! They offer really good deals and it's a wonderful day to spend detoxing with your gal pals over the weekend!

This place is cheap for a reason. Even if you’re willing to overlook the constant noise of chatter and dingy accommodations, there were other issues going on. The woman put a damp paper towel on my face (didn’t even bother to put eye-holes or cover my entire face), called it a face mask, and then disappeared for half an hour. She left the clay mask to harden on my face for way too long, so it hurt my skin and then scratched my face as it was washed away. And to top it all off, the lady over-picked at my face and left tons of red marks where there hadn’t been anything before. I don’t know how this place ever any got 5 star ratings but if you’re looking for something quick and cheap, it’ll do. I won’t be coming back and I won’t be recommending this place to anyone either.

Not sure where the negative reviews stem from but I stumbled across Essential Day Spa and Cosmetics roughly a year ago in dire need of a facial and my skin has dramatically improved for the better since then. The staff is incredibly knowledgable, friendly and are the most professional I've encountered in such a setting. I would also recommend looking into their skincare line(the gentle cleanser is amazing) and Annie is my personal go to esthetician! I seriously can't thank them enough for keeping my skin in check and I don't see myself ever going to anyone else after the stellar service I received here.

This company wouldn’t reschedule my appointment and told me it was a cancellation. Stole my voucher and the idiot laughed on the phone. Fraud company. No service provided.

I had a very negative experience at Essential Day Spa. I went in yesterday for a consultation and was given a treatment plan, which was a deep cleansing facial and microdermabrasion. When I went in today to get the treatment the staff was extremely rude because I was asking questions and continuously ask me what I wanted to have done, after I already had a consultation. They was rude and unprofessional. I waste my time and carfare going to this place. Only wanted money, would not recommend.

I do not know what itvis with the bad reviews, but this is the only place worth going for facials. No other place clean my pores the way they do. They really change your skin. insent a few friends there and they were very happy customers.

I have been going to Essential Day Spa since 2010. When I first went to the spa it was located at another location, probably three to four blocks away from where they are now. I love the service, they make me feel like family. The service is fantastic, my acne problem no longer exist. Their prices are a little high, but beauty cost. I rather spend my money where I will be treated decently and will get result. The place is very clean, the girls take their time, the Microdermabrasion length is appropriate.

I have been to many spa's , and never have I had such a great experience like I did at Essential. I started with the Microderm, then they suggested a facial, and I am glad they did. My skin has never looked better. My blemishes and acne scares seem to be fading away. They are great at removing black/white heads. My co-workers have noticed the changes in my skin, and how much healthier it is looking. I will never go to another Spa, I love the work they do at Essential.

I have acne problem for years and I almost gave up. I have heard of this place from my friend for its reputable acne treatment and I decided to give a last try. I tried the diamond-microdermabrasion and I saw an immediate improvement after two treatments. My skin becomes smoother and the scars are less noticeable. The most important thing is my skin stopped developing new acne. I am very happy with the results. Besides, the people are very nice, helpful and professional. I am so glad I gave it a try.
