America’s Best Day Spa, American Spa Magazine, 2015 and 2016. Caring for skin in Orange County since 2014. More than 10,000 customized facials.
Founded in 2014 by Rebekah Zepfel, a working mother of three, Lemon & Honey was born out of a simple belief: most spas were either too clinical, too rushed, or too generic. Real skincare deserved something better, built for the executive, the founder, and the mother running all of it at once.
We opened our doors on the coast in Newport Beach, where we were twice voted America's Best Day Spa. Then Rebekah brought Lemon & Honey home to the City of Orange, the community she grew up in, to bring a truly great spa to an area that had few options. If you knew us in Newport, here is what has changed and how to find us now.
What began as a single treatment room has grown into a boutique team of skin experts serving thousands of clients across Orange County. We've been voted America's Best Day Spa by American Spa Magazine in 2015 and 2016, and we've performed over 10,000 customized facials across Orange County.
Our estheticians stay, and so do our clients. Our team averages more than seven years of hands-on experience, and many guests have booked with the same esthetician for years. As one client put it in a Google review: “She’s been doing my facials for 10 years.”
But the numbers aren't the point. The point is that every guest who walks through our door is met with grounded presence, real expertise, and a treatment built around what their skin actually needs that day.
Rebekah is the founder, owner, and Head Trainer of Lemon & Honey, and an esthetician of 24 years. A wife and mother of three, she built the business from the ground up while raising her family, and her commitment to balancing real life with real wellness shows up in everything she designs.
Trained in advanced clinical skincare and barrier-first protocols, Rebekah developed the three signature methodologies that guide every Lemon & Honey treatment: The L&H Barrier Method™, The L&H Sculpt Ritual™, and The L&H Happiness Standard™.
Today, Rebekah leads a team of licensed estheticians and massage therapists who share her vision: that beautiful skin starts with a healthy barrier, and confident clients come from honest expertise. Read Rebekah's full story.
Every service at Lemon & Honey is guided by these three principles. They're not marketing language. They're how we read your skin, build your treatment, and define what a successful visit looks like.
Healthy skin starts with a supported barrier. Before treating congestion, pigmentation, or fine lines, we read your skin barrier and rebuild what's compromised. A healthy barrier is the foundation every active depends on.
Our signature facial massage protocol combining lymphatic drainage, Gua Sha, and hot stone work to lift, contour, and depuff. Results that feel as good as they look.
Every guest leaves cared for, confident, and radiant. We don't measure success by how complicated the treatment was. We measure it by how you feel when you sit up from the table.
These are the values that shape how we hire, how we train, how we treat clients, and how we run the business.
At Lemon & Honey we don't believe in beige. We believe in bold care, radiant results, and soul-deep wellness. You won't find one-size-fits-all treatments or assembly-line experiences here.
We stand against the “Big Beauty” model that profits off insecurity. We replace that with empowerment through education, honest skin coaching, and long-term results. Our members aren't just customers, they're part of a vibrant, supported community.
Our team is highly trained, deeply present, and passionate about helping you feel your best, not just on the outside, but from the inside out. From first visit to every follow-up, we're here for your glow-up journey.
