Hi, Gorgeous! Welcome to be well {groomed!} in Santa Monica, CA. I’m Kenya, your esthetician for loving the skin you’re in and I can’t wait to help you achieve the glowing, smooth skin you crave. I’ve been an esthetician & owned my own skincare studio 15+ years, providing clients with fabulous facials & superb sugaring plus exceptional professional products.
With my years of hands-on experience, I’m an expert in creating skincare regimens, advanced facial protocols & LED treatments. Whatever your concern, I can help you via Virtual Consultations or in-studio FabFacials. My best practices & products to give my clients the results they crave like firmer skin, more even skin tone, the lifted look, improved hyperpigmentation, diminish fine lines & letting their skin glow!
I am currently postponing appointments per Governor Newsom’s & Santa Monica’s directives to shelter-in-place and close certain types of businesses.
Once we have an expected to open date, I’ll update my hours and the new health & safety protocols.
Don’t pick your skin; stay picky about your skincare!
When dropping in to #509 for your luscious skincare & superb sugaring, you will enter on 5th St. I am on the mezzanine of the new locale. So, you walk in the front door, say “Hi!” to our awesome site manager Chandraand continue thru the hall.
- The 2nd right turn / 1st hallway takes you to the restrooms. (good to know!)
- Keep going to a right turn with chairs in and at the end of the hallway.
- Turn right and when you reach the chairs, you can go right or left
- The mezzanine is a loop. Either right or left will take you up a small set of stairs.
- Just look for #509
Heads UP: There is currently construction on 5th, between Colorado & Broadway. (farewell, Fred Segal). If coming west on I-10, you might want to exit on Lincoln, then go up to Santa Monica Blvd and turn west (left). You might find meters en route to 5th.
Parking: I typically find meters on 5th, right outside the building. The meters are for 3 hours.There is a parking garage on 4th & Arizona that gives you 1.5 hours free (Santa Monica Structure 3). We do NOT validate for the garage connected to the Salon Republic building but a few clients have parked there and said it was convenient (and I think around $7, which is what the meters are for 3 hours. So if you’re running errands, it’s not a bad deal).
Timing: Leave early! It’s the beach so loads of people and family groups are milling about in the crosswalks, taking their sweet time and enjoying the palm trees. Plus the Farmer’s Market is happening on 3rd Street Prom on Wednesdays & Saturdays from 8am to 1pm. Make the most of your trip and get those fresh fruit & veg!
