About reTreat Salon & Spa
Retreat Skin & Hair Studio is a boutique wellness destination in San Francisco's Fillmore neighborhood, founded in 2017 by estheticians Kimberly Padgett and Michelle Rothman. Tucked into the charming Lower Haight corridor at 146 Fillmore Street, this intimate studio brings a results-driven philosophy to skin care, hair, and energy healing. Unlike larger day spas, Retreat thrives on personal connection — every treatment is tailored to your skin goals rather than slotted into a generic routine. The studio offers an impressive range of corrective and restorative facials, including LED light therapy sessions that harness targeted wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation, and accelerate cellular repair. These 30-to-40-minute sessions can be booked as standalone treatments or incorporated into longer facial protocols. The team also provides chemical peels, microdermabrasion, lash lifts, and full-body and face waxing — making it a one-stop shop for complete skin maintenance. Hair services round out the offerings, with a roster of independent stylists delivering cuts, color, highlights, balayage, ombre, keratin treatments, and more. For clients seeking a deeper reset, Retreat also offers Reiki energy healing, bridging the gap between aesthetic care and holistic wellness. The studio is celebrated by regulars for its exceptionally clean, calm environment and the genuine warmth of its practitioners. Clients frequently praise owner Kimberly for her attentive consultations and visible skin results, with many returning monthly for maintenance facials. The space is intentionally small so that you never feel rushed or anonymous — a rarity in a city full of high-volume spas. Whether you're targeting stubborn hyperpigmentation, seeking anti-aging support through LED therapy, or simply treating yourself to a deeply relaxing facial, Retreat delivers the kind of personal, expert care that builds long-term client loyalty. Priced accessibly for the neighborhood, it represents excellent value for professional skin care in San Francisco.
