Cara Paymaster
Nominated as one of the Best Estheticians and Best Wax Studios in 2021 by the San Diego Reader! Since starting out in 2009, my focus has been to match each client with the right combination of beauty products and "above maintenance" services to help them look and feel their best. I've spent 7 years of my career at the most luxurious day spa in St. Louis, MO.

This experience allowed me to treat all skin conditions and to be gifted valuable education to serve my clients. After moving to San Diego, CA in 2015 I began to perfect my skills as a makeup artist. I began working with bridal parties and celebrities to create flawless makeup for events & their big day.

Cara is an absolute skincare genius! Her studio is not only gorgeous, but spotless & so sanitary as well. I am so impressed by her skill level & knowledge base. Not to mention her prices are the best around! I am also a small business owner & there's not a client I wouldn't refer to her! 10/10

My first time with Cara was for a peel back in Nov 2020. She reached out before the appointment to understand more about my skin concerns and provide some guidance to prepare for the treatment, also including COVID-19 safety precautions.
When I got there, everything was clean and sanitized and she was ready for me. She is the sweetest and very knowledgeable. Cara explained every step and what should I expect afterwards. She also followed up with me a few days later and recommended some products for my skin.
I loved my experience with Cara and will definitely be going back. Support local!

I’m obsessed with Cara. She is so informative and educated about skincare. I have struggled with severe skin breakouts my whole life, causing scaring and it’s an absolute nightmare of mine until cara! She introduced me to a whole new side of skin care I didn’t know about. She also is just a good person type of vibe. You know one of those people who you first meet and you become best friends? She is that person, genuine, loving, caring and kind.

I had a fantastic experience with Cara when things were open in San Diego. She is professional and open to sharing her skincare wisdom. Her attention to customer service is incredible, and the whole experience was truly enjoyable. My skin was glowing and I trust that all the tips she gave me are rooted in her many many years of experience. I will definitely be back!

Cara is the best. I've been struggling with adult acne around jawline and neck since I moved to San Diego 2 years ago, and I decided to give it a try with Cara when I found her. And it's been working fabulous! Obviously skin doesn't improve overnight, but gradually it's gotten better. I still don't have perfect skin (little bumps due to clogged pores) but I try to go see her monthly, or sometimes every 3 weeks, and every time my skin feels so smooth! The best part is that it is her own business and she is very attentive. If I have any question before or after treatments

There are so many wonderful things I could say about Cara, so I'll keep this short and precise. Cara did my makeup at a convention in Denver before I had to go onstage to get an award and it was perfect for me as I am not a big makeup wearer so I felt very comfortable with how she did my makeup. This tells me that she listens to her clients needs and wants and executes it perfectly. She has been my go to for skin care, skin issues, makeup advice! She is always willing to lend a helping hand and advice when it comes to all things beauty. Plus she herself is gorgeous and real. She won't

From the moment you walk in you are immediately relaxed. Cara's kind and welcoming personality combined with the most dreamy space and comfy bed make for the most incredible experience. Her hands are magical, it's like she has tiny elves that come out and help during the massage. My skin looks and feels amazing after a visit with Cara, what a difference regular facials make with someone who actually cares about your skin. Do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment now!!

Cara is the BEST skincare expert and she also did my bridal party make up on my wedding day 10/5/19. Everyone LOVED their make up and it lasted all night. Cara is timely, professional and all around a great person, funny too! Book with her for facials and make up, highly recommend!

I'm a wedding coordinator and had the pleasure of working with Cara on a wedding in November of 2019. Not only was see such professional and prompt in our communications prior to the wedding day; but she had our bridal looking so gorgeous but still herself. She brought out the inner beauty of our bride. I was impressed with her work and I didn't ever have to worry about things not running on time. She was fantastic!
