Exploring Life & Business with Sepi Bakhtiar of Sepi Spa

Today we’d like to introduce you to Sepi Bakhtiar.

Hi Sepi, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
For over 25 years, Sepi Bakhtiar has set the standard in luxury skincare and med spa treatments in Los Angeles. As the founder of Sepi Spa in Santa Monica, Sepi has built a reputation for delivering real, visible transformation — combining time-tested techniques, cutting-edge technology, and a truly personalized experience for every client. Sepi’s career began at the prestigious Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, where she quickly became known for her intuitive approach to skin and exceptional client care. Over time, she cultivated a loyal, high-end clientele that followed her as she launched her own namesake med spa — a serene, results-driven sanctuary just steps from the ocean in Santa Monica, CA. At Sepi Spa, no two treatments are the same. Sepi believes skincare should be fully tailored — designed around your unique skin type, goals, and lifestyle. From the customized Biologique Recherche facial that Sepi personally performs, to the curated range of advanced technologies like Sofwave, Endymed RF, Laser Genesis, Endospheres, and more — every treatment is selected with precision and intention. The goal? To help you achieve your best skin ever.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Sepi Bakhtiar’s journey is one of resilience, determination, and unwavering dedication to her craft. After immigrating to the United States from Iran in the 1970s, Sepi built her career — and her life — from the ground up. With no outside funding and no shortcuts, she worked tirelessly to become one of the most trusted estheticians in Los Angeles.

Her career began in the luxury world of the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, where she earned a loyal following through her skill, professionalism, and personalized approach to skincare. Over the years, Sepi turned that foundation into something extraordinary: a self-funded, independently owned med spa in Santa Monica that has grown into one of the city’s most respected destinations for results-driven skincare.

Today, Sepi Spa is more than a business — it’s a sanctuary built on hard work, heart, and a deep belief in the power of personalized care. Every detail reflects Sepi’s hands-on vision, and every client who walks through the door benefits from her decades of experience and unshakable commitment to excellence.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Sepi Spa is a luxury med spa located in the heart of Santa Monica, California, offering a carefully curated blend of advanced technology, results-driven treatments, and five-star client care. Founded by licensed esthetician Sepi Bakhtiar, the spa was built with one goal in mind: to deliver real, visible improvement for every skin type — without compromising on experience or elegance.

At Sepi Spa, every treatment is personalized. We believe that skin health is not one-size-fits-all, and neither are the services we provide. Each client begins with a professional skin assessment, allowing us to tailor your treatment plan using the most effective tools and techniques available — from European facial protocols to state-of-the-art med spa machines.

Our treatment philosophy is rooted in delivering measurable improvement, using the most effective and clinically proven methods in the industry. Whether you’re dealing with aging skin, acne, dullness, or loss of firmness, our goal is always the same: to help you feel confident in your skin.

What sets Sepi Spa apart is our unwavering dedication to client experience. From the moment you walk through our doors, you’re treated to thoughtful care, complete discretion, and the attention of a highly trained team led by Sepi herself. Many of our clients have been with us for years — not just for the exceptional treatments, but because they know we treat their skin like it matters.

This is not your typical med spa. It’s a space where clinical expertise meets spa-level luxury, and where every treatment is performed with precision, intention, and integrity.

What’s next?
As Sepi Spa continues to grow, Sepi remains focused on one core mission: delivering the most effective, personalized treatments using the latest in skincare and wellness innovation. With a reputation built on results and trust, the spa will continue to lead in offering forward-thinking solutions that elevate both skin health and overall well-being.

Looking to the future, Sepi plans to expand the body aesthetics side of the business — introducing advanced therapies like red light treatment, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and other holistic tools designed to support beauty from the inside out. Whether it’s facial rejuvenation or full-body wellness, Sepi Spa is committed to staying on the cutting edge — and continuing to raise the bar for luxury med spa care in Los Angeles.
