Paradise Skin Spa

I went to Paradise Spa to get regular facial. I do not suffer from acne but I do have pores, oily skin and some occasional breakouts. I wanted them to suggest me what would work best for me. The lady suggested that I get enzyme peel facial and also extraction. She seemed nice and pleasant to talk to and the ambiance was also pleasant.
But to be honest the extraction hurt really bad. I have high pain tolerance as I have had piercings and tattoos done but the extraction especially around my nose and chin were very very painful. Also, the worst was when the facial was done I was expecting to leave with glowy and clean face but my face had red spots due to extraction. I looked so pathetic but the lady said it would subside within few hours. I was advised not to use anything on my face for next 12 hours so going home or running errands with red spots on my face was so embarrassing.
The redness did go down but the spots looked even more obvious than before.
Also, she suggested me not to use certain foundations and products that I had been using but when I asked her what she would recommend she did not have any expert advice at all.
Not sure if $ 150 was worth it at all. I am not sure I would visit them again.
May be it has worked out for some people, but I would highly suggest to only try facials that works for you in other places and not what they recommend here.

I had a facial here today. I think the products were good and the spa is nice but it was one of the roughest facials I have ever had. I remembered thinking to myself I could have just gone through the car wash with the convertible top down and pretty much had the same effect. Instead of a nice relaxing facial with fluid motions it was harsh scrubbing with some face slapping and extreme pressure on pressure points. There was no music playing to relax to, just the sounds of drawers opening and slamming closed, crinkly packaging and her walking in and out of the room. The best part was the neck and shoulder massage and the hot towels. The hot towels smelled lovely, like essential oils, but they were always far too hot (and I like the towels much warmer than most). She was also really rough when using the towel to remove product. She needs to learn a more gentle soothing touch.
It’s been about 6 hours since my facial and my face still feels raw, similar to a bad wind burn/​sunburn.

The best facial experience in the area so far. Great ambiance with proper spa feel, staff is knowledgeable, attentive and thorough, they use good products and neck and arm massage was a cherry on top. Will be back!

Was a great experience, beautiful décor, and the staff was very knowledgeable. I appreciate the suggestions and the helpful tips. I will definitely be visiting again!

One of my best facial experiences ever! The spa is really clean, tranquil and comfortable. The owner is knowledgeable and skillful. I can totally see the change on my face after the treatment. The price is amazing and they didn’t push you to buy products.

I’ve visited this spa quite a few times already. I would say that Silla is a very knowledgeable person. She has accommodated me on short notice as well and each time I visit, I leave very relaxed and my face feels CLEAN! I even took my wife here when she was visiting the US and she loved the attention she got. She loved the facials but unfortunately she thought the products used were far too heavy for her.
As far as I am concerned, though the price is on the higher side, the products used are of high quality which means they actually work a lot better than what you get from department stores.
If your looking around for a good facial and a relaxing experience at the same time, then give Paradise a try. I am sure you will love it.

This is my go-​to spa whenever I am in the mood for a facial. Wonderful ambiance and very relaxing. I have had facials with both Silla and Mina and both are equally knowledgeable and skilled. My most recent facial was with Silla and she was able to clear my forehead of a rather bad area of recurring acne that would not go away for months. I love this place and would definitely recommend it! All the ladies of my family go here.

I had my first facial this year with Shilla.
First impression — the salon is super clean, modern, and tranquil. They have an excellent playlist of spa-​quality music throughout and the lighting is on par. From what I can tell, there are two sisters, and two rooms.
The actually facial/​process itself — when you go in, they have you fill out a patient info sheet where you can detail the products you use and your main concerns. Then, you are led into a room where she will give you a wrap and tell you to change into it and lay down (in preparation for the massage you will receive during the mask or peel portion of your facial). Then, your esthetician will come in and examine your face and you guys can agree on what kind of a facial you want and she will comment on things you need to watch out for. She recommended that I get an enzyme peel and work our way up to glycolic. The result was great and she is very talented with her extractions. Honestly, I think extractions are the main part of any facial and Shilla really went to town on my pimples, blackheads, comedones, and sebum. My face was completely decongested by the end. The massage itself was not that great since I need a much harder pressure to feel any kind of relief.
I also wanted to touch on the products that they use. Seems like they use mostly Yon Ka or Guinot products which are very high end salon quality/​dermatologist quality skincare products. They both feel and smell heavenly and probably what sets them apart from cheaper facials.
I got an enzyme peel and a 100 minute facial for $ 110. :) Very happy and will definitely come back every 8 weeks.

I’ve been coming to the spa for more than 5+ years. I’ve gone to different spas for facials, but find that Mina give the best facial! I leave the spa glowing! I highly recommend this spa. The staff here is professional and knowledgable. It’s the best kept secret!

Sila gave me a fabulous facial yesterday. she analyzed my skin and gave me the appropriate treatment for my skin at this time. It was extremely relaxing and truly helpful to ease some of the irritation I’d been experiencing as well as improving the look and feel of my skin. She suggested amazing products (not in a pushy way –I asked for suggestions), she asked questions and directed me to some of the products they use at the Spa. I would not hesitate to recommend Paradise Spa. Both ladies are excellent. Thank you!

I love this place been coming here for sometime and I love getting my facials at this place haven’t gone anywhere else. I went from having bad acne to having now good skin. Thanks.

I could not agree on the five star experience with this spa. I like Silla (co-​owner and my aesthetician), she is nice and patient to explain. I went for congested pore clearing, the enzyme peel did not help and her blackhead extraction caused blemishes without extracting anything. May be microdermabrasion could have helped better with my case. In my opinion she was knowledgeable on products but not on techniques. I could have just used enzyme peel like products at home and over the time it would have cleared. If its just products to use either for peeling or hydration, it can be done at home and continued use is what gonna give results. I expect more from a professional how to give quicker results with their expertise. No doubt products used are good ones but facial price is definitely way expensive ($ 25 more for hydrating mask add-​on, when the standard mask is saved). Also for $ 135 facial, the experience could be more relaxing, it was relaxing overall but not up to the mark with the noise from moving stuff inside the room and going out in between, etc. I find this kinda experience when owner is the aesthetician themselves. They are caught up between managing spa and doing facial, so at times they are per-​occupied. Its my preference for facial to be more quieter and really a very relaxing experience, thats what makes it a spa hour. Otherwise most of the things can be done at home.

Omg. This place. I got full legs, full arms, chin and eyebrow waxing done. I also got the papaya peel mask. So, so amazing. I was in heaven. I fell asleep during the facial. This was the least painful waxing and facial experience I’ve ever had. My sister and I were both treated really well by the ladies at the spa. We were originally scheduled for two facials and waxing just for me but they accommodated us last minute when my sister decided she wanted to go to wax too. Everything smelled so good.

I am so glad I found this place! The best facial I have ever had!!!
My esthetician was very knowledgable about skin types and skin care and she gave me great advice regarding my skin type care. The whole experience was very relaxing, I loved the smell of the skin products they use and my shoulders and arms massage was perfect!
I would recommend this spa to everyone who cares about herself and wants to have a relaxing facial experience. Worth every penny!!! Will definitely go there again!

I can’t not give them 5 stars after based on their service. My esthetician was knowledgable, caring towards me and skin in general. I got a facial and upon recommendation also got an enzyme peel. I was hesitant at first because the prices are high $ 90 for a facial (70 min.) $ 110 for the facial plus enzyme peel (90 min.) (you also get $ 10 off your first visit) but the next day my skin was soooo soft. That wasn’t really enough to get me back but upon the end of the facial, my esthetician said if my blemish came back within 7 days she would «take care of it». My blemish came back and I went back and she did an extraction for free. I asked her what products I could use to keep my blemish from coming back so she gave me a recommendation but was kind enough to note that the price was high so I should take time to think about it. She said she studies her products so she knows a lot about them but there are other cheaper products out there. Unfortunately there are too many out there for her to research so she wasn’t quite sure what else to recommend but heard that Neutrogena was pretty good so she said to try that and if it doesn’t work I can try others or go back and get the product they carry.
I’m still a little hesitant to go back because the prices are high but you get what you pay for. For about the same price you can go to Burke Williams but you get a whole day at the spa (sauna, steam room, hot tub, amenities) but the facial itself is by far waaaay better than Burke Williams. I will most likely go back to Paradise just probably not as often due to the price but it’s definitely worth it.
The only thing I think would have made the enzyme peel better would have been a little more massaging. You have to wait 15 minutes for the product to work so it was sort of awkward just waiting there for 15 minutes. If she did a massage while we were waiting it would be more enticing to get the upgrade. The facial alone does include a short massage of the shoulders and neck but it would just be nice to get a little more when you opt for the upgrade.
Oh I also like that they give you a questionnaire and keep a file on you so they can remember who you are. Almost felt like a dr. visit but in a good way?

Excellent serve, spotlessly clean, calming quiet atmosphere. If you want a spa with chatty, noisy activities going on that you would enjoy participating in while you are having your treatment — don’t come here! I have tried other places that may have great service, but the atmosphere was just aweful. This place is for those of us who want to relax, be soothed and pampered, quiet and enjoy the awesome treatments.
I love Silla (she and her sister own it)! I get periodic hydrating facial w/​wo back treatment and it is wonderful. The products are high quality, smell wonderful and leave my skin feel fab. I have bought cleanser and moisturizer she recommended for my dry skin, which have really made my 50+ yr old skin glow, she is not pushy and always sends me home with samples.

My wife come to this place year over year for 3 years in a row. The ambience is nice. They give a good facial their rejuvenation package is awesome. they do a grat job in removing black heads.

I love this place, come here for all my waxing as a guy. They’re super clean and the place is very relaxing. I travel a lot and they are pretty phenomenal at working around my odd schedule. The owner is super nice, too, and makes the process that would otherwise be painful pretty pleasant.
Would recommend to men looking for a place to get waxing done. Definitely a cut above anywhere I’ve been in terms of cleanliness and atmosphere.

I’m on business travel and was lucky to find a hidden gem of a spa. Once you walk in, it doesn’t feel like a little town spa. Really nice modern décor. My first facial here, it wasn’t busy but the facial service was amazing! I told them I’d be getting married in about a month and she spent extra time on me. When I’m in town again, I’m coming back.

I feel bad the Ivette had a bad experience with this place. No, they don’t do brazilians here, but they do provide excellent facials and massages… along with waxing services.
Paradise is tucked in Sunnyvale right off El Camino Real. The facilities are peaceful and relaxing. It’s run by two sisters who seem to take pride in their work.
I have long had a problem with acne and scars and began visiting Paradise a year and a half ago before my wedding. I have never had a dermatologist or aesthetician diagnose my skin so well. They suggest treatments based on what they think you really need, and they do try to be budget conscious.
They use high end products, Guinot and Yon Ka, which I am now addicted to. They are pricey, and they usually suggest new products on each visit, but are very helpful if I can’t spend a lot. I never feel pressured into buying magic potions. I usually get samples on each visit.
I’ve had glycolic peels, extractions, and microdermabrasion. A gorgeous shoulder and arm massage on each visit. They do a great job. Love them.
