Honest Skin Featured: Sharing Our Journey from Salon Suite to Flagship Studio

filed in:

March 4, 2026

We are so honored to share that Honest Skin was recently featured in a deep-dive interview sharing our “origin story!”

From our humble beginnings in a single Sola salon suite to opening our dream flagship location in Point Loma, the journey has been defined by one thing: Faith over fear.

A Risk Worth Taking

In the interview, our founders discussed the reality of opening a skincare business in the heart of 2020. While the world was slowing down, we were ramping up—driven by a vision to simplify skincare for the everyday person living on a San Diego budget.

“We realized there was a gap in our industry that neglects the everyday person… Many practices have turned into the ‘Cheesecake Factory’ of skincare menus—overwhelming and daunting.”

What Makes Honest Skin Different?

We’ve stayed true to our “Honest” roots by keeping things simple. We don’t believe in overwhelming you with 50 different options. Instead, we focus on:

  • Three Core Treatments: Results-driven facials that grow with you.
  • Targeted Add-ons: Only what your skin actually needs.
  • Real Relationships: We treat our clients like family, whether you’re prepping for a wedding or just need a moment of self-care.

We are incredibly proud of our team of eight powerhouse ladies and the community we’ve built here in San Diego. We invite you to read the full interview to learn more about our philosophy on leadership, team building, and why we’re so obsessed with your skin health.

I am so glad I found Lianna and Honest Skin. I've been getting facials with Lianna for the past year and it has been the best investment for my skin. Lianna is the sweetest, and so professional. She creates such a welcoming environment from the moment you walk in the door. So much attention to detail in this place. I can't say enough about this place. If you need a facial, Lianna is your girl!

"The Best investment for my skin!"

I've had 2 Honest Essentials with Adrienne and she is amazing! On my first appointment, Adrienne assessed my skin and asked about my skin concerns and goals… Both sessions with Adrienne were so calm and relaxing - perfect for a self-care day! Extractions are never fun, but Adrienne made them comfortable and painless. My skin has never looked or felt this good! Can't wait for my next appointment :)

I look forward to my appointments with Chrissy. That facial and scalp massage tho, I could lay there for hours. Self care and self love at its finest! I loved my treatment with Chrissy so much that I had to book my mom for a facial. It was her first time and I couldn't have picked a better person to do it for her. She enjoyed every bit of it and can't wait to go back.
