Skin that behaves like itself again.

Corrective facials and scalp therapy for acne, scarring and pigmentation — built around how your skin actually functions.

The approach

This isn’t just a spa facial. This is strategy, correction, intention. Every step has a purpose. Every product has a reason. Relaxing always — but results come first.

Meet Kiki

Trust the process. Your skin can heal.

Kiki brings 5+ years of work in acne, skin barrier damage, pigmentation and age management, licensed and certified through the California State Board of Barbering & Cosmetology. The specialism is melanin-rich skin — protocols chosen for how Black and brown skin actually behaves, not adapted after the fact.

At KIAMO Skin, we are proud to be a Black-owned business committed to creating an inclusive space where everyone feels seen, valued, and cared for. Education, intention, and consistency are at the core of everything we do.

Progress, not promises

Skin doesn’t change overnight. It changes with consistency.

Treating skin in San Diego

Your climate is part of your protocol.

  • Overcast San Diego coastline under a bright marine layer

    June gloom is not sun protection

    The marine layer scatters light, it does not stop it. UV still reaches 8–10 on the index through overcast mornings, which is exactly how pigmentation quietly deepens in a city that feels mild.

  • Water falling over a hand, lit from the side

    Hard water, dry scalp

    San Diego water runs around 16 grains per gallon — hard by any measure. Mineral residue builds on the scalp and hair, which shows up as flaking, itch and product that stops working.

    Santa Ana winds and your barrier

    Humidity can drop into single digits within hours. A compromised barrier loses water faster than it can hold it, and skin that was calm all summer starts stinging in October.

Questions

Do I need an appointment?
Yes — KIAMO Skin is by appointment only. Requests go through the online booking page, or you can call or text (310) 595-0872. Booking is request-based, so you’ll receive a confirmation rather than an instant slot.
What happens at a first visit?
A full consultation and skin analysis come first, then a treatment chosen around what your skin is actually doing. You’ll leave with a plan for the at-home routine that supports it, because education, intention and consistency are at the core of everything here.
Do you work with melanin-rich skin?
That is the specialism. Acne, scarring, pigmentation and barrier health in Black and brown skin need protocols chosen for how that skin actually behaves — particularly around post-inflammatory pigmentation. Every treatment and peel is selected with that in mind.
How many treatments will I need?
It depends entirely on what’s being corrected, which is why the consultation comes first. Skin doesn’t change overnight, but when you stay committed and take care of it properly, it will respond. The approach here is long-term results, not quick fixes.
Is there parking?
Free parking is available at the Mission Hills studio at 3067 Reynard Way, San Diego, CA 92103.
What is the cancellation policy?
Please give 48 hours notice to reschedule. Cancellations inside 24 hours are charged 50% of the service; no-shows are charged in full.
