Rafaela Chagas, a licensed esthetician who moved from Brazil to the United States in 2004, founded NATURA Hair Removal & Skin Care at 1300 Grand Ave Suite C in Pacific Beach, 92109, as her very first location in 2010. She earned her California Esthetician License and a Bachelors degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Entrepreneurship simultaneously while building the concept for what would become a multi-location franchise. This Pacific Beach spa specializes in the proprietary Sugar Melt technique, an exclusive Brazilian sugaring recipe made from sugar, lemon juice, and water that is paired with custom hard and soft waxes in a three-step method designed for smoother results with less discomfort. The treatment menu extends well beyond hair removal to include HydraFacials, dermaplaning, chemical peels, microneedling, and laser hair removal using the industry-standard Candela Gentle Max Pro device. Clients on Grand Avenue often pair a NATURA visit with lunch at Phở Time - Vietnamese Fusion, located along the same Pacific Beach corridor. NATURA now operates six San Diego County locations plus additional studios in Florida, though the Pacific Beach shop remains the flagship where Rafaela built her reputation. The spa carries a 4.8-star Google rating across 175 reviews, with clients regularly noting the welcoming front desk staff and the skill of individual estheticians by name. Skincare enthusiasts looking for complementary treatments can also explore Vitality Aesthetics elsewhere in Pacific Beach. All products used in treatments are chemical-free and naturally derived, consistent with the brands philosophy that Brazilian-quality beauty services should be accessible in a neighborhood setting. Walk-ins are accepted, though appointments are recommended and can be booked online through the NATURA Zenoti portal.
