Honestly, I am shocked at the reviews for Sonya Dakar. I have been a loyal client for 5 years, and having written a review about three months ago, I wanted to see what others have been saying. I just feel like I can't sit back and let people drag her reputation through the dirt. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and some people may not like the way she performs her business. Yes, I too have been stuck waiting for three hours, but that only happened twice in five years, and she apologized profusely. For those complaining about not getting 'cookies and tea' for their long wait, are not there for the right reasons. During one of my long waits, they threw in a free manicure. Yes, she is rough, but she gets the job done, and brilliantly. She is not for the faint at heart, she is aggressive, she can be pushy, and she is expensive. But boy is she worth it. And for those who call her cheap, they should know that when I couldn't afford things that she knew would help me, she did it for free. She is a businesswoman, self made. If you want fabulous skin, grow some (?!) and go to see her. She is the expert.

So, listen up all you spa people! This was the best facial I have ever had! I am a frequent spa goer, and love trying new places and was recommened to Sonya Dakar after not getting the results I was looking for in regards to my horrible acne that I have suffered from for years. Sonya gave the time and attention that I needed and then set me up on a regimen that I have been following now for a few months. WOW! What results!!! I can't express how happy I am that my face is finnally clearing up!! Great products, great service, and best of all a great feeling. I would recommend Sonya to anyone looking to get results!!

A NO-STAR REVIEW IF THERE EVER WAS ONE.

I have never had a more horrible customer service experience in my life. When I think of how I was treated during and after this encounter I feel physically sick. Despite waiting patiently for 3 hours, I received no treatment. After my traumatizing experience the Sonya Dakar Clinic attempted to charge my credit card without my permission or signature. They claim I did not show up to the appointment, when in fact, it was quite the opposite. I showed up, but the facialist didn't. The details are not important, but the bottom line is: DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS BUSINESS.

Stay away Sonya Dakkar is a crazy scam artist. You will end up spending thousands of dollars for nothing. I recomend going somewhere less expensive but worth the money.

WARNING: Sonya is a total HACK., SCAM. Worst spa, worst owner. for any former client, you need to read the TMZ coverage of her BITING the health inspector & getting arrested...not surprising & couldn't have happened to a more deserving person. KARMA.
"Sonya Dakar, who says she picks and prods at the faces of such celebs as Fergie, Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow, was arrested after allegedly assaulting and trying to BITE an inspector who was checking out her cosmetology license....The inspector performed a citizen's arrest and summoned the Beverly Hills PD who threw her into the oh-so-glamorous Bev Hills jail on battery charges. She was sprung on $20k bail and is back in court tomorrow for her arraignment."
