Miami Skin Boutique

I had a bootcamp facial here today with Elizabeth. This is not a spa like at the Mandarin or the Four Seasons and if you are looking for that then you will be disappointed. However; this is an excellent facial. I’ve had facials at the above mentioned spas and loved the experienced but the facials are usually just ok. You leave feeling relaxed but not like you got an amazing facial. This is an amazing facial and if thats what you want — go here.

Elizabeth is a true pro who knows the ins and outs of this business. Her career has lead her to become much more than an esthetician and she knows the importance of technology and other tools when it come to skin care. I have found my new home for all of my skin’s needs!

Elizabeth is a sweetheart and very talented at what she does, definitely go to her for eyebrow sculpting

The staff was amazing. A breath of fresh air in Miami.
I travel to Miami a lot over the course of the year and always am surprised by how bad service is here, but them I come to Miami Skin Boutique in Brickell and get welcomed by the nicest group of ladies. I had just come off of a crazy, nonstop work week so it was so refreshing to have a relaxed atmosphere, nice conversation and an amazing facial.
I had the mini facial which was a treat since I was pressed on time. Although it didn’t feel rushed at all, felt like I was being serviced for hours, which I appreciated. Also received a eyebrow shaping, Elizabeth knows what she’s doing there. Wish I had the art of shaping under my belt!
I will be coming back each time I visit Miami for work, it’ll be my little retreat.

I’m staying at Epic and decided to spend $ 90 instead of $ 150 for essentially the same facial treatment. The trade off was a mere 7 minute walk! This boutique really is «as good as it gets,» I had a great time and the facility is clean and lovely. Sonya Dakar potions are the best.

All I can say is WOW!!! What an experience As soon as you walk in the energy is wonderful. The place is clean. Elizabeth has a warm spirit I will be back reallllll soon and my face looks great lol :-)

When an experience goes the wrong way, Elizabeth, the founder of Miami Skin Boutique, knows how to turn it around. She takes great pride in keeping her customers satisfied.
I had purchased a voucher for a Sonya Dakar Bootcamp Facial through SpaFinder back in January. Since I was pregnant and nursing, I wasn’t able to use my voucher up until now. I had made an appointment for a weekday afternoon. I received an email the day before to confirm my appointment and I confirmed. Come day of my facial, I arrived 30 minutes prior to my appointment just in case any paperwork needed to be filled out regarding my skin. I waited an hour and no one was there to attend me. I left disappointed since it seemed that my appointment was forgotten. I wrote via email and left messages regarding my experience.
Elizabeth contacted me a few days later apologizing. She was out of town and called me long distance to make things straight. Her assistant was supposed to be providing the service while she was out of town, but it looked like she has forgotten about it. It order to make it up to me, Elizabeth asked me to give Miami Skin Boutique a second chance by offering me a complimentary Sonya Dakar Bootcamp Facial as well as a one hour massage. I was so happy with this and I said YES!
The day of my complimentary service, I received the massaged first. It was a good massage by her therapist, Lazara. Not really the type of massage I’m used to getting in the sense that it was provided in backwards steps (starting face up and ending face down), but good. Next was the facial. I absolutely loved how attentive Elizabeth was to my face. Boy did I need those extractions and she did not miss one single pore! I had only received one facial throughout my pregnancy and that was over ten months ago. I was long overdue. Elizabeth explained everything step by step and was very patient. Nothing was rushed.
A couple days later, I noticed that my nose and chin started to turn red and peel. I contacted Elizabeth and she asked me to come back in for an oxygen facial. It turns out that since I had applied Retin-​A a day before my facial, it had a reaction with the products used on my face while receiving my service. I came in for the Intraceuticals Oxygen Facial and it cleared up my nose and chin instantly.
Today, my skin feels amazing! My face is glowing and feels so smooth. I’m so glad I gave Elizabeth the opportunity to make it up to me. I found my new facial esthetician! I had been searching for one since the lady I used for eight years moved to New York. I’m so happy! Looking forward to my next service. :)

Sometimes we set certain expectations based on past spa experiences. That seems like what some of the reviewers that graded Miami Skin Boutique very low have done. Which is fine, we all do that and should expect the most when paying top dollar for spa services.
Miami Skin Boutique is definitely different from a spa where they crank out high priced luxury relaxation appointments all day. It is a place where you will find customized service from a very knowledgeable and veteran esthetician. Elizabeth has beautiful skin herself and knows how to give you beautiful skin, if you are ready to listen to and learn her knowledge.
I wouldn’t go here expecting what you have at other spas, not because you can’t receive it (I’m sure they would listen to your desires for their service), but because you can receive something far more important in the long term… flawless glowing skin.
I have now had 3 facials with Elizabeth and I see a noticeable difference in my skin. I’m due for another one now (I need to go about every 3 months to keep the same glow) and I wouldn’t go anywhere else in Miami.

I recently had a bootcamp facial at Miami Spa Boutique. Elizabeth and her employees were extremely professional, sweet, and most of all knowledgeable about skin care. My esthetician Jackie was absolutely awesome, she had the magic touch! I’ve never fallen asleep during a facial, but there’s a first for everything. Thanks ladies:)

I Scheduled a spa day for my best friend’s bday @ Miami Skin Boutique. I had never been there before but found a great deal on Couptessa & decided to try it out. I’ve been to bigger & more luxurious spas in the past but I immediately liked how light & bright & intimate this small boutique spa felt. We practically had the place to ourselves & we really liked that. The owner Elizabeth was very nice & accommodating throughout the day offering us hot tea & wine. We had a great time getting our facials, mini massages & our chocoholic body scrub. We also enjoyed using all the facilities like the sauna, steam room & jacuzzi We would of used the beautiful pool as well but it was a little too chilly. Overall it was a great spa day. The only thing missing was food. It would of been great to have had a cheese & fruit tray or maybe even a spa lunch offered at an additional charge. I guess we could of left earlier to go eat but we were not done enjoying our spa experience. Next time I guess we’ll just have someone deliver something yummy & we’ll be all set. We are anxiously awaiting the next great deal so we can experience our spa bliss day all over again.

I had to write a review for Elizabeth because she is amazing! Yes do not expect a large full service spa. It is clean and has a sauna and nice bathrooms and the building and pool are nice, but it’s not a lounge all day atmosphere. I have only taken advantage of the facials and to say I’m happy is an understatement. My skin went from out of control to almost flawless! Yes I get the occasional pimple here and there but nothing like before. Yes I paid the $and bought some pricier cleansers and such, but they really have lasted awhile and the price is worth a clear face. She only does what you need and really understands her work. Thanks!!!

Let me start by saying I live in Fort Lauderdale, work 12 hours a day, have a teenage boy at home and I am currently working on my MBA. I purchased the facial boot camp from a Spa-​rah rah about a month ago. I called to make my appointment and could not reach anyone. Finally, after several emails and calls I get a call from Elizabeth, who was very apologetic. I booked 2 facials (one for me and one for my fiancé) and 2 massages for the same day.
I get to the spa and was greeted by Elizabeth. I was told that they accidental booked one facial and one massage instead of 2 of each but they would make it work by having my facial done at the same time my husband had his massage and then they would switch us. My husband started his facial and I just sat there waiting for my massage, which I was told would be about 15 minutes. I was left waiting for my massage and 10 minutes later finally came out and asked if I could use the steam room while I waited. I felt like I was waiting for a long time so I come out of the steam room and go to ask how much longer wit would be when they tell me they could not do the massage and could only do the facials or do both facials and one massage but we had to pick who did the massage and who just waited around for the other to finish (this was our valentine day because I work late on the actual Valentines Day). I said no thank you we will just do our facials and be done with this. While getting the facials both my husband and I were interrupted in the middle of the facials, by Elizabeth who was rushing the service. My husbands facial was interrupted in a way that the technician forgot to put the final lotions and moisturizers on him and put them on in the middle of the hallway after he was already dressed and out of the treatment room. During the microdermabrasion they only did one pass through which is unheard of. I have never had a microdermabrasion facial that only went over your face once. They were very apologetic and told me they could not over work their massage tech who had been working since 10am (by the way it was only 130pm) I arrived at 1pm and saw her walking around, not massaging, several times while I waited… clearly she was not doing a massage at the time.
There are no lockers and all your clothing, shoes and personal belongings (including you wallets and purses) needed to be left at the front desk. I had to ask for a towel twice before i finally got one. I asked for a robe and was told they did not have any, I asked for slippers and again was told they had none. Finally, after 1 hour they tell me oh here is a robe and slippers so you don’t have to walk around in your bikini. I am just so upset and disgusted!
It took a lot for me to be able to take the time off to have this spa day which was completely ruined. I have been everywhere from massage envy to the VIP suite at Mandarin Oriental and have never left a spa so unrelaxed. I would not only never go there again, I would never recommend this place. I understand mistakes and they happen; however, at the end of the day that is not the customers fault and everything should have been done to accommodate a paying customer. STAY AWAY!
After seeing the comment left by Elizabeth let me elaborate. #1 I called 3 times and left 2 messages. #2 I sent 3 emails and was only responded to one. #3 I know what I booked because I always book the same exact services 2 massages and 2 facials. The fact that you are understaffed and not ready for the amount of customers coming in because of the continuous promotions is not my fault, but yours. #4 I did not bicker with my husband and I never do, I even told him to do the massage because he had to wait for me to finish my facial anyway and it did not make sense for him to just sit there. He decided, on his own, not to have themassagedone becasue he said if we both did not do it none of us will. You did not come out of a treatment room to give me a robe. We were talking after I got out of the stea room, in my bikini, and wewalked to the other side of the spa (the mens side) where I sat waiting for my husband to finish when you sent the new girl to bring me a robe. #5 You did not call to confirm my services the day before you called me the same day of the massages at 11:26am (I have the logs saved if you need me to snd them to you) When you called and confirmed me I also reminded you of my husband Reynaldo. You paused and then said yes him too. #6 2 weeks after booking the appointment I again called you to confirm the time and could not get a hold of you, I again had to send an email to you. Instead of making excuses like you make on every negative feedback you should try to be a better business owner! You give small businesses a bad name!!!

I give the owner and esthetician, Elizabeth, five stars because she puts so much effort into her business. She is warm and personable, and although one reviewer below did not appreciate her chattiness, I thought the conversation made for a pleasant experience.
Elizabeth took her time with the extractions, explained the products and equipment she was using, and patiently answered my questions. Although my appointment was the last one of the evening, I did not feel rushed.
Also, I am a cheapskate when it comes to skin care products, but Elizabeth’s advice convinced me that I should ramp up my skin care efforts. It is too early to tell if my skin will improve in the long run, but my skin did feel noticeably smoother and clearer after the facial.

This reviews is for my facial/​microdermabrasion experience only.
Let me first start by saying I was waiting for about ½ an hour before I could go in to get my scheduled service. Of course, this isn’t the best way to start ANY relaxing treatment. The wait was even worse taking into account the place isn’t a real spa. It looks like a glorified storage waiting room. There were cardboard boxes, unfolded laundry items, bags of product to be organized, unorganized marketing material, even clothes and hangers pretty much in every corner. There were no magazines, no tray of fruit, no tea/​water station, etc… These aren’t necessary items, but are usually expected when you are charging 100+ and up for a facial. As you can imagine, my wait was not relaxing at ALL.
Finally, I get summoned to my scheduled service. In the room, I can’t help but notice that the sheets on the chair are old and little ripped… I’m pretty sure they were old bed sheets. :-(Very no fluff, no primping environment. Once I’m on the bed, I’m constantly annoyed by the direct sunlight coming in through the large window. PLEASE get a curtain that actually blocks the light and new towels and sheets!!!
Now to the service. The esthetician seemed knowledgeable about the products but kept forgetting what I was there for. I suggest reading reservations before servicing clients. In addition, she kept talking and talking and talking about her personal life. It made it difficult to relax. The service was ok. It was quicker than I expected thought, and she only passed the microderm wand once per area. Usually, I get 2 – 3 passes per area… maybe SHE was in a hurry! It wasn’t the best or worst facial i’ve had.
Overall, I don’t think it is worth $ 130 and this shouldn’t be called a spa!

I’ll definitively be returning. After reading several positive reviews on Unilocal for Miami Skin Boutique, I purchased a Google Offer for services and drove more than an hour south of my home to the spa because it seemed like that great of a bargain.
From the moment I walked in the spa to literally the moment I left the building, the owner and esthetician, Elizabeth Canler, helped me relax; really going above and beyond in this regard. After we talked about my goals of toning out my skin and lightening sun damage, she selected Microdermabrasion as part of my treatment. It was my first time having this service, and she answered all of my questions about it and skin care care in general. I really enjoyed our conversation, and she also recommended a skin care routine to help me reach my goals more quickly.
About five hours after the diamond exfoliation, my skin tone was noticeably more even. Maybe it’s my imagination but, specifically, the sun damage on my forehead appeared lighter.
For those planning to make an appointment, two things I learned from my first visit: Have at least $ 4 cash for the valet; and from I-​95, turn right on fourth street off Miami Avenue.

I went to the Miami Skin Boutique for the first time and I was sincerely disappointed. First of all, when I schedule spa services I’m going there to relax. The products were great and smelled amazing but for 30 minutes I had to listen to someone talk and drill me with questions. Its very hard to answer when you have scrubs/​masks etc being rubbed all over your face and by your mouth. Not only that but the conversation was not remotely appropriate, especially to a first time client. I couldn’t wait to be done because I was very uncomfortable.
The hour massage was wonderful on the other hand. She used these tuning forks on different joints and by my head and I loved every minute of it. However, while waiting for my friend’s massage to finish I was left in the spa for over an hour all by myself, literally no one was in the spa. Even when my friend and I were finished with our services and ready to leave the owner never returned. I would’ve have bought some of the facial products but its hard to buy items if there isn’t an employee to sell them to you.
Finally, it was absolutely freezing in the spa. If you go, make sure you wear pants and bring a sweatshirt. I was relaxed after the massage but tight and frozen by the time I left there. I drank 2 glasses of hot tea to stay warm. I would never refer any of my friends or family.

One week later and my skin still looks amazing!
I went in last Monday, and even though its normally closed Elizabeth was willing to accommodate my schedule (Thank you!!).
The place itself is beautiful, in The Wind near the pool area with a lovely view of Downtown Miami. Very classy/​modern and relaxing, it only helps that you’re greeted with warm tea and smiles. Elizabeth does a great job in making sure that you’re comfortable and happy.
Initially, I had my mind set on a microdermabrasion with an oxygen facial because I wanted to remove some scarring (and the little internet research I did led to those options) but Elizabeth recommended a deep pore cleanse with a chemical peel. I’m glad I listened!
When I got home from my facial my family gawked over how clean my face looked, my friends were in awe and even yesterday my mom mentioned how great my skin looks.
And YES!, the chemical peel helped with my scarring and the combination of both shrunk my pores significantly.
Elizabeth gave me some great skin advice and acted more like a skin coach. She is genuinely interested in making your skin look beautiful and healthy and her enthusiasm is very encouraging. :)
I will definitely be back!

What What Whaaaaat! I was super impressed; the place is gorgeous… I have the most sensitive skin out there and usually have to resort to a dermatologist rather than a skin spa. A friend referred me and convinced me to give this place a try. After speaking with Elizabeth, I knew she knew what she was doing; so, I made an appointment… Make a long story short, I feel like a King. I’ve gotten comments that my skin hasn’t looked this way in a while. Forget about it, this is the only place I trust now.

Words cannot describe what Elizabeth Canler and Miami Skin Boutique have done for my skin. Before I started going to Elizabeth I was almost scared of the experience but she has really taught me how to care for my skin without torturing it with excessive extractions, microdermabrasion, and peels. She takes the time to work through all the impurities while also managing to nurture your skin every step of the way, it’s almost as if every facial experience is customized for what you need that day. It’s not only the experience during the treatment but Elizabeth is a genius when it comes to educating you on the right products to use. Any at home care she recommends I take immediately as the track record has been phenomenal; my skin does not stop glowing! By far this is the best and only place I would ever go to for my facials. I actually purchase gift certificates for all of my friends on their birthdays because I feel everyone who has ever suffered from problematic skin or just a bad facial experience, should visit Miami Skin Boutique. It’s guaranteed to change your life!

Wow, this place really is amazingly good. I got the LivingSocial deal too and it seemed so great I got three — I’m so glad I did (and I’ll be back for other services — like another massage). The location is very convenient, once you figure it out, and the facilities are elegantly and excellently appointed (in a small intimate place. I don’t have much to compare the services with, except the superb massage, the rest I don’t know about (e.g. I’d never had a facial or pedicure before) but my GF was really impressed and said my skin and nails looked much better. The people who will attend you are consummately professional, adept and friendly. Oh, and you have the use of the beautiful adjacent pool, exercise rooms and locker room including showers and sauna for the day (I didn’t have the time to stick around but I was generously given the tour). The pricing seemed about right (my deal was absurdly inexpensive). I don’t have a lot of experience with these services but I could not have been happier and I’ll be happily back …
