La-Di-Da Sugaring & Aesthetics Boutique

07/08/2008 Posted by ks6

I normally go across the bridge for sugaring but saw that La-Di-Da moved to a very convenient place in Coronado. I am soooo happy I went there to try them! I'm an instant regular now! So many great things to say, where to start? 1. Appointment availability. Oh wow! I called & was able to get in the following day. I probably could have gotten in that day even but my schedule was a bit more rigid. Other reviews I've read say the same thing - they are great about getting people in right away. 2. Serene spa. To me, it was very Coronado - even though they have only been on the Island for 3 weeks when I visited. The interior is gorgeous & sooooo soothing & classic. They even have a private little room to fill out a first visit card. In some of the rooms though, they really jazz it up. I went into this great deep yet bright pink room with black & white pictures on the wall (Audrey Hepburn!) and black & white floral drapes. It was modern & classic at the same time. 3. Price & services. You can't beat the price. The charge for sugaring, which is what I had done, was the exact same as another place across town. But this place really specializes in it instead of offering it as a side service. Sugaring is much better than waxing & Kelly, who sugar'ed me, said she'd been doing it for 10 years. It showed! She was fast & great all around. They even make their own line of the sugaring product (which btw can only be sold to certified sugaring specialists so you can't do this at home). Sugaring goes quicker, it is less painful, results in less ingrown hairs & is just really all around a better process. Most places, if the even DO sugaring, charge higher prices for sugaring ... but they charge the same price. In fact, Kelly said that they typically only do sugaring (except on the eye brows where it can be a little trickier). Go now! They are so amazing! If you live in San Diego, it is worth the drive. Visiting? You have to try! Loved it!

Pros: kelly has been sugaring for 10 years, location is great, ambience

A unique spa experience. I went to this spa because of the reviews that I found here. I am VERY happy that I took that advice of you other city searchers. From the second I walked in I felt like I was in another world. The decor is very shabby chic and beautiful. I had an amzing body treatment and massage followed by a wonderfully relaxing facial. I also had my hair done by Jeanette. She is wonderful with blonde highlights. I will definately be a regular at this Aveda spa. I highly recommend it to tourists and locals alike.

This spa is Really cute! I had the best pedicure I have ever had at this spa. Pam, the manicurist is absolutely amazing! I even fell asleep during the treatment. They put you in this chair that lays completely back and your legs ar in the air. She covers you with a warm, soft blanket and scrubs and massages your legs, feet and toes. It is amazing! You have to check this spa out. They use all Aveda products.

Pros: Parking is very easy!

I have finally found a spa that I can feel relaxed and refreshed, but also a spa that i feel comfirtable with. Most spa's I went to made me feel uncomfortable or made me feel like I didn't belong. Being a guy and being athletic is tough on the feet and hands, so I like to get a manicure and pedicure at least once a month. I went from spa to spa until I came to I.C.E. Spa. And now I wont go anywhere else. Not only was I treated like everyone else, but i felt welcomed and appreciated. I would highly recomend this spa to all my friends, guys and girls alike.

Pros: excellent prices and gift cards available

What a refreshing experience. THe space is tranquil, soothing and relaxing. The therapeutic massage was one of the best I'll ever have, key after a hard workout. The sugaring waxing technique is less painful and lasts twice as long! The salon is beautiful and the spa truely hightech. I defenately recommend spa Ice!!

Pros: Customer Service, Ambiance, Techinique

I never thought I would feel so at home in a spa. Most places look so intimidating, but my experience at ICE was just the opposite. The whole ambiance of ICE is so inviting, the staff is wonderful, and my massage was divine. I arrived for my services a few minutes early, just to try and get a feel for the place. From the moment I stepped foot in the spa, I was offered a beverage and a little snack. I chilled out it the cool relaxation lounge, I felt right at home. I couldn't believe how soothing it is to just take a minute to chill. After that, I was lead into a treatment room where I had the most wonderful massage ever!!! There is no better feeling than being pampered after a long stressful day at the office. After my services, I checked out and booked my next appointment right away. I can't wait to try out their UV sauna. I'm excited I found this little jewel away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Pros: Everything, from the ambiance to the therapists, check it out.

Cons: None at all.

My Brazilian was amazing and have never been let down once. I've used more than two estheticians, and have to say they all are good! I love this place, and highly recommend it. Nothing is better than having a scent of of a shampure candle while sipping champagne and getting your Brazilian at the same time.
