I asked around and was referred here. I saw Megan and she was GREAT!! She wanted to hear all about my skin care routine and didn't try to sell me all new products which I appreciate. She has been in the field for years and took a serious/diagnostic approach to my skin which is exactly what I was looking for. She talked my thru everything she was recommending, helped with the milia I had as well as gave me more info on the other concerns that I need a dermatologist to help me with.

I welcome this change as Marin Beauty was not meeting my needs however Sonja certainly was and still is! I LOVE Studio 861! It's calm, soothing, open, airy, and welcoming; a little oasis on the quaint Grant Street. This salon fits Sonja's amazing personality and hair skills like a glove! Here are the reasons I am a Sonja Loyalist: -She's incredibly thorough, punctual, fair priced, open minded, into keeping up with current trends and styles through continued education and hair seminars. -She's flexible: Sonja has keys to the salon and can come in early and on Mondays, by appointment. -She takes walk-ins -She cares! She has zero ego and will listen to everything you want and need. What I like even more is that she will listen, be open minded but will also gently give her advice and expertise to give you your best look. Another reason to make an appointment immediately: -Sonja has a special going on for first time clients! Receive 25% off your 1st visit! You have nothing to lose, except gray hair, roots and dead ends! ;-) Thank you, Sonja!!

I literally just got out of a basic appt and left in tears. Never have I ever experienced such…read moredisregard or disrespect from a visit to any Doctor. Dr. Fredrickson needs some serious bedside manner training. Her approach was aggressve, dismissive, interuptive and very ego driven. She wouldn't let me speak or tell her my experience with Shingles in my scalp and what do about it. I had a few questions but she interupted me several times and her M-O was "we're not communicating here" when I would try to ask her to explain. Frankly, I felt like she had no idea about Shingles at all and what it does to the scalp etc. She was a bully, and I am appalled at her demeanor. There was no after-care instructions either. I could go into much more detail as the whole visit and moments in that room with her was seriously unacceptable. If you are looking for answers to concerns over anything "dermatological" DO NOT see her! The staff was just fine and friendly, but literally after she was done zapping and proding I felt like I was being abused and I just wanted her away from me. She will never touch me again.

This place is a one-stop shop - they also do nails, waxing, facials, massage, and a "fassage" which is a 2 hour facial/massage combo.. definitely want to try that!
