Really disappointed by my whole experience. I paid $1,750 for a facial with extra added treatments that were pushed onto me when I intended to only have a single treatment for $450. Sonia is extremely pushy and doesn’t take no for an answer. I’ve had better facials at a fraction of the price. Her consultation consisted of name dropping her clients and talking about her career goals. The facial was so painful and rough that I started sweating and had to ask her to stop, to which she responded, “it’s almost over”. This was not the relaxing afternoon I had planned at all. On top of this, she really thought I would return for a full package treatment?! I will not be returning and nor will my friends or family. I left in pain, feeling shocked and scammed.

Sonya is fantastic. She truly cares. I was having some skin issues due to chemo. And she recommended some all natural products.It has only been one day and there is a MAJOR IMPROVEMENT.The Blue Butterfly Balm is especially effective. Much better and healthier than the creams I was previously prescribed.Thanks Sonya!!!

Today my daughter went and got a rose gold facial, Sonya Dakar was very nice and professional. Also she spent a lot of time on my daughters consultation and my daughter left with glowing and amazing skin. We’ll definitely come again and buy more of her skin care products. “This is the best facial I’ve ever experienced” my daughter said after her visit.

Sonya and her staff are amazing. She customized a skincare routine for me after one of my treatments with her and my skin has never looked or felt better! Not only does she offer you amazing products but she also takes the time to teach you how to use each product. I can’t wait to back for another treatment!!

Great products. Yigal is a awesome. He took the time to explain the product line and what each one does. Not only did his recommended strategy worked, he called me several times to see how things went and to ascertain whether anything needed to be tweaked. Boy, it is hard to find that level of customer service with such stellar products. Definitely recommending Sonya Dakar and Yigal to everyone I know.

Sonya is by far the best. I came in to get a total lift and face peel before I went on vacation with some friends I havent seen in nearly 8 years and I really needed something that would make them believe I havent aged a day. Sonya went above and beyond, I look nearly a decade younger! When I arrived everyone wouldnt stop commenting on how young I still looked. They even thought I had work done and were shocked when I said it was all natural. Thank you thank you Sonya!

After leaving the military my skin was in bad shape. I began schooling at UCLA and did not have a huge budget, so I got some treatments at the clinic and Sonya was AMAZING. But the real game changer was her products. I have spent thousands on products that just don’t work. After 1 week of using her products there was a very apparent difference in the quality of my skin. My friends, colleagues and parents have all commented about how good my skin looks. Do yourself a favor and get some Sonya in your life!!

Sonya is truly gifted. She completely turned my skin around and it has never returned to its former state. I get compliments all the time on how amazing my skin is, and I credit that 100 percent to Sonya and her amazing products. The good news is visiting Sonya and using her products will change your skin forever; the bad news is, you will never be able to use anything else, because nothing else is as good, and I have tried almost everything.

The owner of this practice Sonya Dakar is quite honestly one of the most rude and unprofessional people I’ve ever encountered . & I am convinced that a lot of these positive reviews are from people on her end . She is disrespectful to clients ( full blown arguments), she displays acts of racism and the way she talks to her employees is something you would not believe. She has 18 Better Business Bureau complaints . Very disappointingI am not a competitor.I am not an angry client .I just know that this is a business that needs rehab .

I just moved to Los Angeles from the Bay Area and was so happy to find Sonya Dakar. I h ave been using her products for years and her facials are just as good. The spa is very beautiful and the staff is so nice and helpful. best of all my skin felt and looked so good after my facial. I have been in 5 times since and will never go anywhere else!

I was fortunate enough to experience Sonyas signature facial when she was in London recently and, despite being intimidated by the prospect of somebody being so up close and personal with my complexion, was made to feel immediately at ease and that I was in (exceptionally) capable hands.Sonya could read me like a book and after a quick chat, effectively diagnosed by skins history - and my wellbeing - by sight. Her manner is refreshingly straightforward and I felt comfortable confiding in her; discussing my concerns and what I wanted to address.The facial itself was incredible. Sonya took photographs before and after treatment and the difference in my inflammation and high colouring was nothing short of amazing. My skin looked infinitely calmer and maintained a youthful glow for days. Would highly recommend a visit.

Is there a negative star rating? LOL. I took my mother to your boutique while on she was visiting me on vacation. I was hoping to treat her to a relaxing morning after a rather strenuous day of travel the night before... BOY was I wrong!! Absolute worst receptionist or whoever that was sitting at the front desk on their phone for 10 minutes before asking me what I was there for! My mother now thinks all of California’s residents are rude and arrogant. She swore never to come back to the city I have called my own for the past three years.. Do NOT support this outrageously pompous establishment or any of their endeavors

Sonya is an industry titan, and her results and products speak for themselves. Within a few minutes she’ll know your skin better than you do, and you’ll leave glowing and want to come back for more. In the meantime, try the 1-minute flash facial product for at-home results. It’s not the same as Sonya herself, but it’s pretty darn close.

I got a gift certificate to Sonya Dakar Skin Studio at a luncheon last year and decided to check it out since I had heard so much about her throughout the years. I am so glad I did. I ended up becoming a regular client and Sonya turned my skin around...people tell me I look younger than I did a year ago! I have been so impressed with the quality of the treatments and especially the products...by far the best I have tried, and I have tried them all like Sunday Riley, Drunk Elephant, etc. I am hooked on the Omega line and the RetinU. In addition to the facials, I am now getting some body treatments and so far loving them. I really don’t remember my beauty routine before Sonya!

Best facial ever ... my skin looks so much better! I have been a client now for two years and my skin has never looked better. The facials, extractions and peels leave my skin so smooth and acne-free. Plus the products really help keep my skin clear. I have send 3 of my friends and they are all happy too. If you are in LA you should make an appointment.

Its no wonder this place already has terrible reviews, wish I had seen this sooner but it is carefully hidden by calling it S Kind Studio instead of Sonya Dakar. She is the WORST. Insulting, pushy, and unpleasant in every way. I had a facial here and she insisted I buy products although I was not in the market for them and she promised I could return them the following week if I was not happy. I was not happy with the night cream at all, it left a residue all over my face and was just awful. I tried to return it and she said only store credit, no refunds. She literally said, its your word against mine. Shocking she is still in business, there are so many amazing facialists in LA, DO NOT GO HERE.Just wanted to update! Since I wrote this review yesterday, Sonya called and said she would return my products if I removed the reviews! Unbelievable. Only if I remove my reviews will I get my money back? Sonya should retire already and leave the spa business to real professionals.

When I first started going to Sonya there was no rating system, luckily for her I have a long memory!She will try and make you buy EVERY product she has. Im not going to say she is a racist but she has a disdain for African Americans, and people of African decent that look black.

Sonya Dakar is a fraud and now a criminal!I recently visited her Beverly Hills location where I had purchased a $450 “Apple Stem Facial”. Despite this price, I received unsatisfactory service. I was also disappointed by the Skin Clinic’s “swank” interior, which was stuffy and a bit aged. At the time of my visit I did not know that Sonya had 18 Better Business Bureau complaints in the past 3 years, and now a battery charge! Wow, not visiting her again!

This place is absolutely HORRIBLE! Went here the other day to get a facial and I’ve been breaking out ever since. I don’t even think the lady washed her hands. Never go here. Seriously!!!

Worst experience of my life. I was ready for a great treatment but instead I was treated very poorly. I will NOT return.

I started going to Sonya to see if she could help me with my adult acne based on a referral from my friend Cristina Behrens. Not only did Sonya clear up my acne, she has helped with my life!! She knows what she is doing and all of her products work miracles. Blessed that she is in my life!

Sonya runs a fraudulent business. Her services are horrible and I do not recommend that anybody use her products. They will not work, and can even harm you. Sonya, is also a very bad person she was very aggressive when I asked for a refund.

Was looking for a new place for a facial. Sonya and her staff were very knowledgeable and sweet. They even made me a delicious smoothie!!!! I have never looked or felt better!

An institute a mecca for skin. Ive been using the Sonya Dakar skincare for over 15 years now and if I ever stop my skin is not happy. These products have kept my skin clean and glowing. Literally people will often say to me your skin looks amazing! I wear less make up now then pre Sonya products. Favorites must have Blemish Buster, Omega Oil, Face Shield SPF is the BEST on the market!!Ive also had the chance to meet Sonya on a few occasions and she is so smart and a skin guru. Will look at you in one second and know exactly what is going on inside and out.

Visiting the spa was an incredible learning experience for me - and since my visit Ive been using the products - especially the Omega oil - and loving how my skin feels. Really lovely staff as well!

Sonya is a skin genius. Came to her with some teen acne scars and some discoloration. She had me all cured up in no time! LOVE her products.

Sonya is a genius! She completely transformed my skin

I purchased products from Mrs. Sonya Dakar Skin Clinic and discovered the products was not the same as I had purchased. The products was horrible. so I contacted the lady and told her how I broke out on my face from the products. She was nice to a certain point. I told her I just wanted to return the products. That is when the conversation went south. She did not want to me to send it back. Then called me the N_ _ _ _ _ word. The lady was horrible. I sent the products back. They received it back. and charged my credit card again.

I really enjoy the atmosphere . It was very relaxing and all the staff were friendly. I had a great experience.

Excellent experience. I have been seeing Sonya for years and use her products regularly. My skin has never looked better.

My experience was terrible !. the woman makes you feel terrible about your skin in order to convince you to pay her more money! andtalk you into expensive treatments, all at very exorbitant prices! she is late loud, and the facial is rough and quick. the whole experience couldnt have been less relaxing!! I wish i had checked reviews before !! . go anywhere but here.

Even though I’m only 23 my crazy work hours have left me with horrible under eye bags. The “Eyeposuction” eye therapy treatment by Sonya Dakar is a bit pricey but the bottle lasts a while (a little product goes a long way) and has done wonders to reduce my excessive puffiness and dark circles. As a vegan, I believe in plant-based treatments and I swear by this all natural product which uses rare Amazonian plant extracts to dissolve the fat and waste deposits that cause circles and bags. If you suffer from under eye puffiness I highly recommend investing in “Eyeposuction” for immediate results.

Such a terrible lady! I came in for training, the whole time she was looking down on me, saying very mean and degrading comments on me in front of everyone else.. Mind you it was my first day and clearly I never went back.. She never paid me for training, which is illegal.. The girl that was training me said that everybody hated her, that even her sons are bringing her to court because she tried stealing money from her own family. Dont do business with this terrible lady.

It was relaxing and a very nice experience, had the time of my life and a very caring staff, all and all I enjoyed every second of it.

What I hated was the experience... These people make it as hard as possible to return their products. I emailed twice and called everyday for a week before obtaining the necessary RMA# to return the product and get a refund. I truly believed they thought id just give up... Nope!I have used and like Sonyas product in the past but after this experience I will never order her product again. The product may be good but if the people running your company stink, youre in trouble.Heres a good tip! In this day and age, with the internet being a blessing or a curse to your brand, offer GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE people!!!

Enjoyed the personalized service. I feel fantastic!

This deserves negative stars. I wish people would heed all the warnings about this woman.... Customers who give bad reviews should be heard. worst experience She will ignore you and your appointment for hours (no lie). Her products are not all that....She is crazy, rude, disrespectful and has a bizarre behavior for ears.. do your research

I had a facial with Sonya when she was recently in London. Unlike most facialists she definitely tells it how it is, if you have bags and broken capillaries from too many late nights and not looking after yourself this is what you will hear from her. Sonya is hugely entertaining and incredibly loveable, if you have a sizeable ego and like to hear only about the unicorns and fairies in this life this will not be for you.This is not a relaxing facial, the extractions were quite uncomfortable, but her technique is impeccable because I had no redness post treatment.Whatever she did to my skin really worked. Ive been really struggling with dullness this winter and it looks like she had lifted a veil from my face - the effect lasted about 4 days. Now Im hooked and she is back in LA, which is incredibly annoying :)

I had a terrible experience here. Sonya is the most pushy and unpleasant woman I have ever met. I had a facial there and she insisted I purchase products, that I wasnt in the market for, and said I could return them the following week. I went to return them and she refused. TERRIBLE BUSINESS WOMAN, its no wonder she had to file bankruptcy.

I could not even rate this. Worst experience of my life...

Sonya is a magician! My skin has never looked better and her products are A+!

Unbelievable. Horrible service, horrible woman.Never coming here again.You shouldnt either.

Amazing.

👍it is a great place

Really bad person

Stay away!

Love Love Love
