KAREN KIM
I am the proud owner of The Willow Sugaring & Skin. My journey towards owning a spa began with a deep desire to create a space that fosters not only skin ritual results but inclusivity, healing, and human to human connection. Don’t get me wrong, I love the results that I provide in the treatment room but my all-time favorite part is getting to know my clients! Human connection has always been incredibly important to me and in a time where technology is consuming us, live connection has become more of a rarer experience. This is something I hold strong to provide in my space.
Jillian Lagasse
Let me introduce myself, my name is Jillian, Jilly to most, and I have over 20 years of working in the beauty, wellness + aesthetic industry all over the world. I have a true passion for skincare, Korean Beauty + massage, which first started my career while living in the UK before making my way back to the states to keep honing my craft.
Massage + touch are my gift and I’m grateful to get to share it and do what I love! I love educating my clients on all things skin + wellness. My absolute fave treatments are my signature Buccal massage, perfect for jaw muscle tightness or my absolute favourite- a Glo2 Facial + Cool Jet Plasma. Combine all 3 and watch your face + skin change in an hour! I’m so happy to back in San Diego + I can’t wait to get my hands on your face!
Our Core Value
Over the years of being a licensed esthetician, I have been humbled and inspired by all of my clients' life stories and experiences. Through many of these stories, I have gathered that when we prioritize self-care, we are better equipped to navigate life’s challenges and stressors. I am your ultimate hype girl that reminds you that taking care of yourself is not a selfish act - it is a necessary investment in your own well-being that will bring a beautiful ripple effect in all areas of your life. I look forward to welcoming you through my doors and being a part of your journey towards feeling your best inside and out!

We kindly request to not bring children to the spa mainly for safety purposes. As a mother myself, I am fully aware that there are situations that cannot be helped.
