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.

Heads Up!

Ice at Santa Monica opens 11/1/23 … it’s fun and beautiful to see AND it takes away the large pay lot at 5th & Arizona.

We *still* have the free outdoor lot connected to the Salon Republic building (I’ll let you know when that changes). You enter via the alley between 4th & 5th, off Arizona.

I don’t know which is more shocking: outdoor frozen ice at the beach or free parking in Santa Monica. Let’s use’em while we got’em!

Heads UP: There is always construction going on. If coming west on I-10, you might want to exit on Lincoln or even 26th/Bergamot Station, 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. We do NOT validate for the garage connected to the Salon Republic. There is a lot with a pay stand at 5th & Arizona; you can pick the # of hours to buy. On weekends, you can park in the garage below and across 5th for $10 ALL DAY Saturday & Sunday. So, bring a tote bag (or 2) and plan a trip to the farmer’s market on Wednesday & Saturday, enjoy brunch al fresco or get your toes in the sand!

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 (your skin will love you for it)!

Go Metro: The Expo Line (train) will drop you off just blocks from my studio (and the beach). Plus, you have bus options that include our award-winning city line as well as the Big Blue Bus. I utilize public transport several times weekly so I’m happy to coach you as needed. And, your basic map on your mobile phone has a *transit* option with stop locations, route info and timing.
