KIAMO Skin

KIAMO Skin is a licensed corrective skin and scalp studio located at 3067 Reynard Way in Mission Hills, San Diego, operating by appointment only. The business provides clinical-grade skincare treatments including HydraFacial, DMK Enzyme Therapy, Procell Microchanneling, Lira chemical peels, and dermaplaning, with protocols designed for all Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI. Services focus on pigmentation and melasma correction, acne and scarring treatment, barrier repair, and scalp health, all performed by a licensed esthetician.

To get started, clients must request an appointment by calling the studio at (310) 595-0872 or visiting the website, as the studio operates strictly by appointment only. The first visit includes a comprehensive consultation, skin analysis, and the first treatment, with the specific modality chosen after the assessment is completed. Booking is a request that is confirmed by the studio rather than held automatically, and clients are advised to give 48 hours notice to reschedule.

The studio charges $249 for a first-time client treatment, which bundles the consultation, skin analysis, and the first treatment into one session. This price is higher than the $135 median facial rate often quoted for San Diego, but it includes a personalized booster, microcurrent, LED Light Therapy, and a long-term treatment plan tailored to the client's skin tone and concerns. The right treatment depends on the condition of the skin on the day, not just what is trending.

KIAMO Skin specializes in corrective facials for melanin-rich skin, with protocols specifically selected to support all skin tones and address unique needs. The studio is Black-owned and committed to creating an inclusive space where everyone feels seen and valued. Every treatment is designed to strengthen the skin and scalp from the inside out through advanced technology and evidence-based care.

The studio offers a variety of corrective plans assembled from several modalities for specific concerns such as hyperpigmentation and melasma. For hyperpigmentation, a series of gentle LIRA peels or Procell microchanneling is paired with daily SPF. For melasma, gentle LIRA peels are spaced four to six weeks apart alongside daily SPF with iron oxides to hold the result.

The studio is located in Mission Hills, minutes from Hillcrest, Bankers Hill, and Little Italy, with free parking available on site. While the address is in Mission Hills, the studio serves clients from across San Diego County, including North Park, La Jolla, Chula Vista, and coastal communities like Pacific Beach and Encinitas.

The studio is run by Kiki, a California licensed esthetician certified through the California Board of Barbering & Cosmetology. She holds advanced certifications as a HydraFacial provider and a DMK skin therapist, and has been practicing corrective skincare since 2019 with over seven years of experience.

The studio offers a range of treatments including HydraFacial, LIRA Chemical Peels, Procell Microchanneling, and Keravive Scalp Therapy. Each treatment is performed in one private treatment room with a plan mapped before the client books, focusing on medical-grade extraction, hydration, or enzymatic resurfacing.

Clients are charged 50% of the service fee if they cancel within 24 hours, and no-shows are charged in full. The studio also requires 48 hours notice for rescheduling to ensure smooth operations for the licensed esthetician.

The studio operates seven days a week from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm, providing consistent access for clients across San Diego County. The consistent schedule supports the monthly skin membership model built on consistency over intensity.

The studio is independent of larger chains and operates as a single-practitioner studio with one treatment room. This structure allows for a highly personalized plan mapped before booking, rather than a standardized one-off treatment.

The studio emphasizes that there is no single best facial; the right one depends on the client's skin tone, concern, and the condition of their skin on the day. This philosophy is reflected in the assessment-driven selection of modalities like HydraFacial or LIRA peels.

The studio is not a medical practice but a facial spa, meaning treatments are performed by a licensed esthetician rather than a medical professional. This distinction is maintained while still offering clinical-grade skincare and corrective protocols.

The studio highlights that every treatment is performed by Kiki, a California licensed esthetician with 7+ years of experience in corrective skin. This consistency ensures that the same practitioner maps the plan and executes the treatment.
