Sun Oct 18 2009I went this afternoon because I BADLY needed a cut/dye after a 4 1/2 month deployment. I basically picked the closest highly-recommended salon to me, lucky me, it turned out better than I expected. I called just to be sure they had availability, and 40 minutes later was walking into their salon. I waited for about 5 minutes, and then Amy J. [I'm told there are three Amy's here!] came out to greet me. She was fantastic! Knowledgeable and very skilled in her craft, I wasn't entirely sure wheat I wanted, but she helped me decide the best option and a coworker of hers even came over to offer some advice, which was great. All in all, I was there for about 2 hours, which flew by with the lively chatter between Amy and I, and I never once got bored or felt neglected. I was offered a drink, and was made to genuinely feel welcome, which I appreciated beyond words. The results were stunning, I was getting looks from people all afternoon, and I have to say this is one of the best cut/dyes... Read more

Tue Sep 29 2009I am going to have a heart attack. Today I went to Re Vive for the 1st time despite my better judgment. I usually go to Bella Tosca for facials. I decided to go with the Maui Facial but informed the person doing my facial that I was using differin gel for acne. She insisted that the Maui facial was the way to go... to make a long story short .. I have a chemical BURN in between my eyes! This was the facial that was supposed to set off my birthday. Undobtedly, the girl was nice but nice doesnt cut it when it comes to your face (you only have one) the person has to be KNOWLEDGABLE! I am heart broken and for over $100 plus a tip (cause I couldnt be tacky and not) I look and feel awful.

Sun Nov 02 2008I have had only positive experiences at this salon- I have gone several times for laser hair removal and the staff has always been courteous, professional, and efficient. I recently had a massage, and not only was it reasonably priced (Swedish) it was absolutely fantastic! I can't remember her name, but she had a slight East coast accent- ask for her!

Wed Oct 15 2008I am not from Cali' but if I ever decide to take a trip to San Diego, I'm signing up for a massage from Ali she is so hot, and the retail manager Peter looks like such a cool guy, after my massage I want a San Diego Mohawk just like his. Rhode Island is also cool. Thanks.

Thu Oct 09 2008I am a loyal Revive customer, and I am always impressed with each service that I receive. The medspa is absolutely fabulous! I refuse to get Botox anywhere else. It's inexpensive and the nurse and doctor are highly educated and experienced. I get my hair done by Christina Contizano, and she is amazing. She always does a great job with my highlights and my haircuts always come out super cute. Sheila does my massages and words cannot even describe how great she is! I've only had my nails done there a couple times, but I was extremely happy with my pedicure I received from Ly. Also, I just recently had my makeup done there by Janessa for a friends wedding and she did a beautiful job! I highly recommend this Spa to everyone!

Mon Jul 14 2008I followed my hairdresser to this salon, as I have been going to her for about 7 years now. She was at another salon in Mission Valley prior to this, but I prefer her new location at Revive much better. The salon is clean and comfortable. The staff is very friendly and always attentive; they greet you as soon as you walk in and are always very pleasant. This salon uses high-quality products (Bumble & Bumble, L'Oreal Professional Line, etc) and you can definitely feel and see a difference when your hair is treated to these higher-end product lines. My stylist, Tracy D., is fantastic. I always leave there feeling and looking fabulous! I have not had a chance yet to visit their spa or try any of their other services, but I have toured the spa facility and it is quite serene and relaxing. If you are looking for a new stylist, ask for Tracy D. She is the best!

Mon May 12 2008I am from northern California, but I was in town in San Diego visiting a friend. We decided to have a spa day and Revive Salon and Spa was right down the street in Mission Valley.I had the best experience. It really is a one stop shop. First I got a facial from Angela...hands down the best facial. It was so relaxing and she was really knowledgeable on the products. She provided me with a regimen that I could easily follow at home and my skin has never looked better. After I went and got my hair cut by Erin who was sweet as can be. She really listened to me and my hair turned out great. After that, I received a manicure and pedicure from Amy who was hilarious. She had me laughing the entire time and gave me an unbelievable pedicure. The receptionists were so nice and helpful and even offered me a glass of wine after my facial! This was a great salon and I cant wait to go back during my next visit to San Diego!

Mon Nov 12 2007My first visit was great. I have a hard time finding a salon I like. I have even been to the top rated salon in SD and was not impressed. It started with the phone call to make the appointment - the person who answered was very courteous and helpful. When I arrived I was greeted right away. The salon was clean and busy with clients. The stylist came out to get me promptly and was very polite and friendly - very professional Her name was Sara T. Her first day was my first time visiting, but she was not a new stylist. Has been doing hair for years. She was very knowledgeable about hairstyles and products they sold. I would recommend this salon and Sara T. to anyone looking for a good salon/stylist. They offer spa and nail services too, which I will try also.

Mon Jul 16 2007I was so excited to find this place. The staff are nice, the hair stylist were really helpful in finding me a shampoo and conditioner that would work well for my hair and the haircuts i have received have always been great. I have also had the laser hair removal, which is definately working. The Doctor was very nice and thorough. I also recommend the facials as well. I have two different facialist and liked them both. I also bought some great skin medica products that are really weightless. I am planning on trying the teeth whitening next. The spa is relatively affordable with great specials.

Wed Jun 06 2007This was my first salon visit I've had. I absolutely loved the people there based on personalities but...I went in there because my hair was pretty gold because of all my highlights and it didn't look terrible or anything I just needed a semi permanent to tone them down a little I brought a picture in of a light brown and my hair ended up being black. The stylist said that I wanted a chocolate brown but I did tell her I didn't want it to be to dark and it I wanted it to look like the pictures I brought in. I called the next day and the salon gave me a color correction (free) so I tell the stylist I wanted a light brown with a slight red tint since my hair was red after being stripped of the black color. She showed me a few colors and and I picked one out she chose a color a few shades lighter and I said I didn't like that color. Well I'm a redhead now!!! I NEVER wanted that and it isn't a pretty red it looks like I did it myself using a cheap box from the grocery store. I went to... Read more

Thu May 10 2007I went this to spa before the new owners took over - and wow have they taken over. Re:vive has seriously revived. it has a fresh new hip look, hip music and all the new hip and much needed services - especially the "med-spa" services. The customer service and ambiance there is exceptional. I have gotten most of the services there: teeth whitening, laser hair removal, wax, facial and hair cut and style. I even took my husband there for a teeth whitening and hair cut. Everything was fabulous. The teeth whitening "experience" not only left me and my husband's smile PEARLY WHITE, but the Dentist had an amazing set up that made the experience more enjoyable than is available at other teeth whitening places. There's candlelight, aromatherapy and a flat screen tv with your choice of Movie or Sitcom to watch. Not only did the teeth whitening turn out beautifully, but the laser hair treatment has already started working after just two treatments! So I will definitely finish the package... Read more

Tue May 08 2007With all the things I need under one roof, I could not be more thrilled. Better than that is the level of professionalism displayed by each employee of the Re:vive staff. My massage was the best I have had in town! The therapist was well trained and the environment of the spa was refreshing and calm. The salon staff all using L'oreal Prof., showed why they could hold a name with years of success and a solid reputation. MY COLOR WAS FABULOUS!!!! (so was my cut) My Stylist focused on my needs for in-salon treatments and take home. I may have bought more products than I ever thought I would, but my hair has stayed as beautiful as the day I visited!!! Most importantly the front desk and the owners are such a delight, offering big smiles, warm wishes, and great wine selection to keep me smiling...go enjoy Re:vive, I know I will agin and again!!!!!

Mon Apr 23 2007Being as Revive was located quite close to my house, I was really excited to try it out. Looking in the cool windows I saw a sleek modern decor, fashionable stylists scuttling busily around and clients with giant smiles on their faces. I felt hopeful, as I had a whole slew of spa treatments I wanted to try out. I decided to do a brow wax first, just to test them out. I didn't have to wait at all in the waiting room, as I was taken straight back to a treatment room. The girl that did my brows, Carli, did a great job, though she missed a few small hairs. I also thought my eyebrows were a little thick, but I remedied that the second time I had my brows done by her (just needed to tell her). The treatment room was very small and I could hear people in all of the other treatment rooms, which I didn't particularly like. Anyways, it only cost $16 for a good brow job, so I was very happy. I was kept waiting for 15 minutes before my second appt, which was a little annoying. I had my teach blea... Read more
