Skincare by Elena in Grantville is a solo-practitioner esthetics studio inside Salon 81 at 8181 Mission Gorge Road, Suite 14, San Diego 92120, offering customized facials, waxing, and corrective skin treatments by appointment. Mission Gorge Road is the dominant commercial corridor through Grantville, running north toward Mission Trails Regional Park, and the 8181 building sits in the upper stretch of the road where the commercial district transitions into the park's recreational gateway. The treatment menu includes a deep pore-cleansing facial built around enzyme-based exfoliation and manual extractions, and the corridor's concentration of wellness and bodywork practitioners includes acupuncture and holistic-medicine operators at Mission Gorge Acupuncture that serve a similar appointment-based clientele. A hydrating facial designed to restore moisture barrier function with hyaluronic serums and a finishing mask is the second core protocol, and both treatments incorporate arm, neck, and shoulder massage as part of the service. The waxing menu covers face and body zones, and the studio's private suite within Salon 81 operates on a locked-door policy — clients text upon arrival for entry. The 92120 ZIP anchors the studio to Grantville, and the Grantville Trolley station on the Green Line provides transit access from Mission Valley and downtown San Diego. Clients often schedule bodywork and skincare on the same trip up Mission Gorge, pairing facials with structural-alignment sessions at Pittman Chiropractic in the same Grantville service corridor. Free parking is available in the building's lot, and the studio accepts credit and debit cards alongside cash.
