Ellie’s Skin Care & Wax Studio

I just had my first facial with Ellie a few weeks ago and she was fabulous! Ellie was very detailed in her work and very professional. She spent around an hour and a half and my skin felt amazing when she was done. She did a variety of things from a mask to using cucumbers, a steamer, an in-​depth cleaning, mini massage and the list goes on! She didn’t try to sell me a thing when I was done which was really nice. I will definitely be going back every few months to treat myself :) a few people actually complimented how «fresh» my face looked after the facial!!!

Just got back to my hotel after an AWESOME afternoon with Ellie– I travel a lot and my skin breaks out like crazy; Ellie got me in (SAME DAY) for an extended facial. The massage that goes with facials usually sucks– but Ellie’s was fantastic. Texture is already MUCH improved.

absolutely fabulous!!! she is by far the best eyebrow shaper!

Ellie is definitely the leading facialist in South Beach! Her attention to every detail of your particular skin type mixed with her gracious hospitality make this the only place to get a serious no-​nonsense medical anti-​age facial on the Beach! Thanks Ellie!!!

I have been waxing with the same person for years. So I was very nervous about trying a new spot, especially on South Beach, which a lot of the options are overpriced. I was very happy to find Ellie, it’s Sobe prices but nothing too crazy and worth while. I paid $ 55+ tip for full bikini (includes back area), plus upper lip. She was patient with me because I was very nervous. The atmosphere is nice, clean and she knows what she is doing. I will be back!

This place is awesome. Elle is very professional, friendly and polite person. I recommend facial, waxing…
If you need professional she is.
My opinion this is one of the best salon in Miami beach. The price is reasonable.

The worst service you will ever get!!! Very unprofessional. The owner herself is the one doing facials, will cancel right before your service, will not return your calls and will not take vouchers from gilt even though she herself advertised there and by law has to accept them. She really needs to take a course on how to treat her customers, learn to be polite and accommodating. Will not recommend to anyone. Hope this place closes soon and lets other tenants take up the space so we can have a new NICE and professional spa in its place!

I’ve had facials at many upscale salons. This was the best experience, at far less than an upscale price. Ellie’s attention to detail and thoroughness can’t be beat. My skin has never been cleaned so well.
Next time I’m back to SoBe a visit to Ellie will be at the top of my list.

The best bikini wax I have had thus far!!! I will definitely be sure to schedule an appointment with Ellie when I return to Miami.

Awesome facial! Ellie is very thorough and listens to all your concerns. My skin was a mess but she did not hold back from giving it the extra attention it needed, patiently cleaning out every last pore. Woke up the day after and my skin looked amazing. I will definitely go back to Ellie the next time I’m in South Beach.

Was in South Beach for Halloween weekend and found Ellie on Unilocal!BEST facial ever! Would have been worth three times what we paid for them! She took so much time and my skin is still glowing! And she didn’t push any products!
Would go back to South Beach for another Ellie facial!
Highly recommend!

This review is not for the facial I received (which was decent– I’ve had better) but for how rudely I was treated once Ellie found out I was using a Gilt voucher. «I would have never taken an appointment this late for a Gilt voucher», were her words to me when I arrived.
She was very unwelcoming and definitely lost a potential regular customer in me.

With out a dough the best facial I ever had. Sweet lady, who really takes the time she needs to make your skin perfect! Blew out my expectations! Uses all the different machines — Very professional and sophisticated. It will be hard to find someone better.

Ellie was an angel. She is professional, knowledgeable, patient, and went above and beyond to make my experience positive. Excellent !

Ellie is fantastic! She’s so knowledgeable about waxing. Unlike many waxing professionals who just use the wax given to them and don’t really think about it further, she actually reads medical journals to decide which wax is best, and which waxing methods are most hygienic and most appropriate for sensitive skin.
Ellie is always on time, always friendly, and always a supreme professional.

I just had one of the best facials (if no the best) ever. Ellie is the owner and she is the one in charge of the waxing and facials. She is very nice and professional. The products that she uses are top of the line and the attention to detail is outstanding (which is what you should be looking for when having a facial or waxing). My skin was noticeable better after the facial, the extractions were good and you know your skin is really getting cleaned. Next time I will try microdemabrassion for the first time.
The place is small yet very nice, cozy and clean. I was hesitant of cleaning up (waxing) my eyebrows but after a short conversation, I was convinced that she was the one to do the job. Guys that need/​want their eyebrows cleanup, please come here, you would be totally satisfied, my eyebrows look natural and just nice!
It was such a great experience that I booked my back facial right after my facial was done.
If you pay cash you will get a 10% discount (I wish I knew). And the parking situation is kind of complicated, I was lucky to find a space in the back of the building, so just be prepared to struggle with parking.

I’m not a facial kinda girl, but Ellie gave me an incredible facial. It was relaxing, she worked on my extractions without bringing tears to my eyes, and she took time after to really talk to me about my skin care needs without seeming like she was just tryiing to sell me a bunch of products. She’s professional and knowledgeable, and her spa is super clean and cute!
I won’t let anyone EXCEPT Ellie touch my eyebrows and I’ve never been happier with their shape.
Finally, she’s always prompt and efficient. If your appointment is at 11:00, she’s ready for you at 11:00. You’re never left waiting while she makes calls, texts, etc.
A tip: If you call to make an appointment, and have to leave the message, they will get back to you promptly. They actually check their voice mail and return calls (something that isn’t a given for SoBe businesses-​even if it SHOULD be!!)
If I could give Ellie’s 6 stars, I would! She’s that good.

Small intimate setting with great service at a fair price. I really enjoyed my facial and plan to go back regularly

I love Ellie! She was super attentive to my skin needs. My facial was amazing and left me feeling like I was floating in beauty. My skin was so radiant just call me little Miss Sunshine lol. I highly suggest you book with her because she takes her time on you & not stretching the clock like other spas that I have visited on south beach.

After forever of looking for a new place to do my eyebrows a friend recommended ellies spa to me.
I love it!
My eyebrows have never looked better!
Ellie is so patient and she really takes time to give you the best service.
After going to uni k and other similar places at ellies you get 1000% better device and experience for the same price.
Plus they offer discounts for checking in etc.
Best place on sobe!!!
