Skin By Erin Alicea vs The Spa - Los Gatos in Los Gatos: Ratings, Prices and the Gaps

Skin By Erin Alicea carries a 4.9-star Google rating from 72 reviews. The Spa - Los Gatos, serving the same Los Gatos market, carries 4.6 stars from 408. Both figures are Google's own, checked in October 2026, and they are the clearest measurable difference between the two.

Side by side

"Not stated" below means exactly that: the claim is not made anywhere a customer could hold them to it. It is not an accusation, and it may simply mean the information lives on a wall inside the business.

The question underneath this comparison

Most people comparing two Los Gatos facial spas are not asking which is better in the abstract. They are asking something narrower: will this appointment be worth the money and the hour, and will I know the price before I am in the chair?

On the first half, The Spa - Los Gatos has the larger sample at 408 reviews, so its average is the more settled of the two. Skin By Erin Alicea's 4.9 rests on 72 reviews, which is a smaller but still substantial base. On the second half, only one of them answers in public. A published price is a commitment. An unpublished one is not necessarily higher, but it is an unknown, and on a first visit an unknown is a cost of its own.

What the two have in common

Both are facial spas serving Los Gatos, both appear in Google's local results for the category, and both have enough reviews behind them that neither rating is guesswork. Either will do the core service you are booking. If you live between the two, distance is not the deciding factor.

Where they differ

The rating gap comes first. 4.9 against 4.6 is a 0.3-star difference, and it is built on 72 reviews versus 408. The second difference is how much each is willing to put in public. Skin By Erin Alicea publishes 13 services with a price on every one. The Spa - Los Gatos publishes no menu we could find, which is less a criticism than a fact about what you can know before you walk in.

Where Skin By Erin Alicea does not lead

Skin By Erin Alicea is not the highest-rated facial spa in Los Gatos. House of Kallisti spa sits ahead on average score with 5 stars from 83 reviews. The case for Skin By Erin Alicea is not that nothing beats it. It is that it leads The Spa - Los Gatos on the measures above and publishes what it charges.

Where The Spa - Los Gatos still shines

408 reviews is a real customer base, not a thin listing, and a facial spa does not reach that number without regulars who keep coming back. A 4.6 average also hides a distribution: plenty of those reviews are five stars. If you already have someone there who knows your preferences, nothing above is a reason to switch. Nothing here is a criticism of the business.

How to choose

If you want the most evidence before booking, Skin By Erin Alicea gives you more to go on: a higher rating, a published price for all 13 services, and online booking. If you already have a trusted regular at The Spa - Los Gatos, stay. If you are choosing cold and price matters, only one of them will tell you the price before you arrive.
