This review is specifically about Aimee's facial services. Aimee also offers massage, yoga, pilates, hair removal and other services. Her rooms are clean, bright, and welcoming. I recently relocated to the San Jose area from Arizona where I had an esthetician I loved who used a product line called Osmosis that is the only product line that has ever been helpful to my sensitive, hyper-reactive skin. I contacted Osmosis when I moved to find an esthetician in the San Jose area that was trained in and sold their products and they recommended Aimee. Thank God. Aimee is a true skin care professional who is knowledgeable and has a commitment to ongoing education. Aimee offers a variety of services including lymph drainage, microcurrent, LED facials, as well as more traditional facial options. Every time I go to see her, she mentions a new class she has taken or service she is training in to expand her client offerings. Aimee has the knowledge, training, and product lines to be able to customize each facial according to the needs of the client and it is safe to trust her implicitly to do this. Aimee's demeanor is friendly and professional and she is a down-to-earth person. She is an authentic and very comfortable person to be in a room with. Although she may make product recommendations to you if appropriate, she is not pushy and you never feel like she expects you to buy anything other than paying for your service. Her prices for facials are very competitive, especially in consideration of the excellent service and comfortable, well-apportioned space. She has early morning hours for appointments which is great for working women who might find it more convenient to get a facial before work rather than fighting traffic to get to an appointment on time at the end of the day. I have been to several estheticians who claim to be using microcurrent, but who are not using true microcurrent. The microcurrent system that Aimee uses is the real deal. Even if you think you have had microcurrent in the past, especially if you saw no results, I encourage you to talk to Aimee about it and experience the difference that having a true, professionally administered microcurrent treatment with professional-grade equipment can make in the health and appearance of your skin in just one treatment. I also recommend the Osmosis products that Aimee carries for home care as well as the Osmosis mineral cosmetics. The products are organic and although they are very gentle, they are very effective. At 40+ years of age, I had given up on resolving most of the skin problems that had plagued me my entire life (clogged pores, stress and hormone breakouts, hyper pigmentation) and had just accepted that my skin would never change. I was also starting to see the effects of aging becoming more pronounced. When I started using the Osmosis products, I began to get compliments on how beautiful my skin is for the first time in my life. The combination of these products at home and an Osmosis facial and microcurrent treatment about once every six weeks has literally given me the best skin of my life. If you are looking for a truly professional esthetician and a fantastic facial experience, you cannot do any better than Aimee's Way. read more

I agree with many of the reviews on here, and Amy of Aimee's Way Body & Skin Care is AMAZING. I was looking for a new esthetician here on yelp, (last minute of course, a week before my wedding....) Amy not only came in on her day-off to accommodate me, but she helped my tired, dry sensitive skin look and feel incredible. Amy concentrates on great personal care and attention for her clients. Not only are her facials relaxing and rejuvenating, the products she uses are healing and restorative. She introduced me to a wonderful line called Osmosis, and my skin loves it! It has hydrated and infused my skin back to a healthy, "happy" state, just in time for my wedding. Her spa is small, and warm, and very clean and articulately decorated. She also shares her spa space with her Pilates and Yoga studio. It has a great atmosphere, and the warmth that Amy exudes in her passion for wellness and great skincare only makes the visit even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Amy for your skin care needs! read more

Aimee's Way is different from your average salon. It's a small owner operated establishment so you get a lot of personal attention and care. The spa focus is on skin care and lymphatic massage (no waxing) and I find it's PERFECT for someone who is serious about skin care. I actually consider Aimee's to be more of a spa-clinic though there is no official Rx association. But her perspective and approach to skin care along with her experience and especially the RESULTS I have had are similar to the medi-spa treatments that I have received elsewhere. Her office is small but like others have noted, very clean and comfortable. I've had problem reactive skin since adolescence and have seen many dermatologists, tried many Rx prescriptions and treatments including Dr. office chemical peels and microdermabrasion, had many salon facials, tried many products including spa brands like Dr. Babor and OTC like ProActiv and Murad and Rx stand-bys like Retin-A and Tarzorac. I've done A LOT to my skin and come to realize that not only is there is no quick fix, but a lot of junk just makes the problem worse or not worth the money for the limited results and side effects. So it was SO REFRESHING to meet Aimee. She has a professional but also 'warm fuzzy' attitude about her work. Her approach is holistic and non-aggro and all about working with the skin and not forcing it. Between her care and the Atzen products my skin has seen a WONDERFUL turnaround. I had horrible hormonal and stress related breakouts at the end of the summer and they immediately responded to my first visit wth Aimee by calming down. My skin is continuing to clear up and it feels healthier and less reactive/allergic prone. The best part is NO crazy fugly period that my skin usually has when starting a new routine. I almost don't want to give Aimee a review because if she gets any more popular it'll be hard for me to get to see her, and I need my routine skin care fix! Aimee and Atzen products are now part of my regular skin care regime in the South Bay. read more

I love the pampering spa experience as much as the next gal, but let's face it - fancy aromatic $200 facials are all about the relaxation, and not so much about actual skin care. When I looked in the mirror and saw the dreaded, unmistakable signs of aging I freaked out and decided it was time to see a real skin care professional. Amy at Aimee's Way is the BEST. Her spa is small and cozy, nicely decorated, clean and relaxing. She only uses premium organic products, and doesn't try to push and up-sell them, which I adore - nothing ruins a post-facial buzz like peer pressure and a sales pitch! But most of all, Amy is a fantastic person and a true professional - she really cares about and knows what she is doing - plus she is a blast to talk to! Can't recommend her highly enough. read more

I have been to may different aestheticians before, and Amy is absolutely the best!! I have sun damaged skin with spots, scars, and I also get insane breakouts. After every visit, which is usually every 4-6 weeks, she has really improved my skin so much that people often compliment me on my complexion. Amy truly knows all the sciences behind the skin, and finds ways to help maximize the appearance of it. She does an exceptional job of personalizing her treatments to cater your needs. She also uses all of the latest technology in improving the overall appearance of your skin from lymphatic messages to LED light Therapeutic Treatments as promoted even on Oprah. More importantly, she isn't pushy in trying to sell products, nor does she treat your skin like the next persons. She genuinely cares about her clients, and I LOVE how she explains what she's doing, and why it's important for your skin. Overall, she's worth every penny (and her prices are very reasonable), and I trust her completely with my skin! read more

Wonderful massage and great information! Very warm and inviting person! I'll definitely be back!!

I actually stopped coming here a few years ago, after I was charged a $10 fee to get a last minute appointment - on a day that no one else was there, in a huge rainstorm, with no other customers on the horizon. If I hadn't shown up, Aimee would have had no business at all that afternoon. $10? How chintzy... I've never been back. read more

Aimee's Way is a cozy spa / clinic / studio. The small entryway greets you with beautiful canvas paintings, lush carpeting, and a small, discreet sign that reminds you to take off your shoes. Farther in are the machines and equipment that Aimee uses for her Pilates and yoga classes. I came today for a massage / facial / lymphatic drainage. Not only did I fall asleep three-quarters-of-the-super-relaxing-way-through, apparently I also snored. Nice -- and further proof of the delight of this unpretentious gem tucked into the trees. Aimee herself is warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. The massage was incredibly relaxing (not so much therapeutic for deep knots, but I came especially for the relaxation anyways) and her robe was particularly luxe. Ok, it's a tiny thing, but other, far more expensive places treat you to the entire range of luxury... and then give you a raspy terrycloth robe. Aimee truly notes the small details. The facial was amazing and began with multiple cleansings, none of which dehydrated my dry skin. She did extractions, a mask, gentle massage, and was very liberal with her use of Sothys (I think?) products. Unlike other spas, however, she never pushed them beyond showing me the bottle at one point and mentioning how much one like it might cost. I think I liked that most of all. Many estheticians don't know how to read people and quickly transition from pitching a product to a mildly interested customer to completely repulsing said customer with a hard sell. The lymphatic drainage, too, was relaxing, though much less pressure than I would have thought. It is surprising that such gentle pulses of suctioning can move the lymph fluid along. I left feeling refreshed with soft, smooth skin, and absolutely no redness. Two thumbs and all my toes up for Aimee! read more

Great atmosphere, attention to detail, listens very well, uses great products... I recommend highly to anyone wanting to look and feel better! read more

Aimee is awesome! First off, Im a practicing Esthetician in Washington state and I was visiting CA, and wanted to find someone to receive a service from while on my trip. I called up Aimee and explained I wanted to get a service from her since she has a TAMA Microcurrent device. She was very gracious to set aside some extra time to talk shop before my service. Her studio is really nice. And I practically fell asleep during the microcurrent treatment. Since I was having sinus issues, she payed special attention to help reduce the inflammation I was having. I really enjoyed my experience with Aimee, I just wish I lived closer so I could see her more! She is really talented and knows the body as a pilates instructor, massage therapist and Esthetician. Do your skin a favor and soul a favor and book yourself some "Spaaahhh" time with her. read more

Amy is wonderful! I just recently went through major surgery (mastectomy) and her lymphobiology treatments have been my saving grace. It's only been a few days and I have experienced no swelling or discomfort. My doctors are amazed as to the rate of my recuperation. Amy is also an expert at skin care - helping me keep my skin hydrated and smooth. My daughter also has seen Amy for her eczema and other various skin problems, the results have been spectacular. My appreciation and gratitue to Amy is boundless. I'm sure that you will agree once you start treatments with her. read more

I went to Amy after months of (mis) treatment at the hands of a local dermatologist. My skin looked awful, but Amy was sympathetic and empathetic to my concerns. She immediately went to work on me with gentle, healing hands. Amy really pampers your skin with her light touch. Her place of business is extremely clean and hygienic, the aromas of lavender and eucalyptus, soothing your senses. Best of all, she is a highly ethical person. She makes sure that your experience with her is pleasant and to your satisfaction, which is much more than you can expect from a commercialized dermatologist's office. I'm really glad I found her! read more

Aimee rocks! She is very professional and not only does she provide excellent skin care services, I'm now taking Pilates coaching from Aimee too. The atmoshpere is nurturing, calm and relaxing. You will definately enjoy your experience....and I'm a male! read more

I will never get facials from anyone but Aimee! On a daily basis I get compliments on how amazing my skin looks! Sometimes I have to take a double look because my skin really is amazing and has improved so much. I think I have better skin today at the age of 40 then I did when I was in my 30's. I live in Willow Glen and have tried EVERY spa on Lincoln Ave. I've even traveled to Pleasanton just to find a decent esthetician. I have been sadly disappointed with the quality and attention to detail and really felt like I was spending my hard earned money on mediocre facials. Over a year ago, I was having major issues with my face. I went to several estheticians followed by my doctor and was even referred to a dermatologist. I swear I must have spent at least $1000 over a 2 month period on my face. Nothing was helping and that's when I found Aimee. Aimee worked on my face for 90 minutes and in that time, I learned more about skin and the products I was using then from my dermatologist. Within a week, my skin issues were history. I started using the french "Atzen" skin care line and am hooked. I've tried several skin care lines and Atzen has really worked for me:) I love Aimee's Vitamin C facials. In addition, she uses lymphobiology which is very cool! I've also gotten the enzyme peel and the Algaederm masque. Aimee's salon is conveniently located on Curtner Ave. There is plenty of parking and her spa is tranquil. She offers a variety of other services such as facial waxing, Pilate's and body wraps. It's also super easy to schedule an appointment on-line and you will get a friendly appointment reminder. If you want a fabulous facial and are serious about your skin, head over to see Aimee. You'll love your skin!! read more

Aimee's Way Skin Care is awesome! From the moment you walk in Amy's door, your given 100% attention to what's best for your skin. You can trust her advise and knowledge about the skin care products she carries cause she uses them herself and her skin always looks beautiful! Recently I've been trying out the Osmosis skin care line and I am thrilled with it. Amy encouraged me to stick it out because this line works from the inside out, repairing and creating healthy skin so it takes time to visibly show changes but after two months it was dramatic! My skin is now smooth without the previous tiny bumps. It looks youthful and radiant without the previous "ruddy" skin tone I often had. It's a wonderful feeling to have the trust in someone who you know has the expertise to guide you toward your best skin. Much money is actually saved since the years I've stayed with Aimee's Way and not been tempted to purchase other product lines on a whim! I've enjoyed Amy's European facials, lymphobiology and other treatments through the years.Amy is against abrasive skincare techniques and always cares for your skin with the most gentle touch. read more

Amy - wanted to give you a big thank you for recommending the Sothys products. I had been struggling with acne on my chest and shoulders for months - cleansing brush, various product from drug stores to boutique beauty stores, even changing my diet. The cleanser along with that fabulous Supracor bath mitt turned things around within a few uses. I've not thought about acne for months. Then there's the body lotion. I had been using a different lotion for my chest, hands, and legs. Now I use only the Sothys lotion all over. My skin looks and feels wonderful. And one product bottle instead of three makes storage and travel nicer too. As always, you are the best! read more

I went to see Aimee for her soothing lymphatic massage treatment, but eventually tried some her other services as well. Her Arms and Shoulders Massage is okay, nothing special. Her facials are pretty good, but some of her products caused acne for me. I told her I had very sensitive skin and that most facial care products cause problems for me. I have been using proactiv for years and have no acne problems as long as I stay on it and I had no acne when I went to Aimee. Still, she wanted to "get me off the chemicals" and urged me to put a couple hundred bucks into her Atzen line. I bought, but asked her if she would take it back if it started causing problems, because I am not willing to go through an "ugly period" or "purge" that causes nasty acne (FYI, My dermatologist says that the whole concept of an acne type "purge" when switching facial products is complete nonsense and that is a lie of the cosmetics industry, she says that acne is not caused by "purging", it is caused by clogged pores, trapped bacteria, and inflamation. The inflamation that results from switching products is due to contact dermatitis or basically an allergic reaction. She says that when using the right product, your skin is able to purge impurities without an acne reaction because the impurities are released without trapping bacteria or causing a reaction of inflamation). Aimee said she would do a credit, not a refund. Fine. She also told me to let her know right away if problems started because she once had a woman literally empty the bottles of product and then return them for a refund. Fine. I won't empty the bottles and then try to return them. I bought her products, after a couple of uses, I had a rash type reation as well as acne and called her to let her know. I brought the (barely used) products to return them on my next visit, but when I brought it up, she decided she didn't want to take them back and got kind of nasty, telling me that she never said she would take them back. I don't know if she forgot her promise or if she is just a dishonest person, but I haven't been back. It was a shame, I liked Aimee and she lost a good customer. read more

I bought a facial through one of the coupon websites for a 90 min. facial. First I called to get an appointment but Amiee didn't answer so I left a message and she never called me back. Then I called after couple days again to schedule. Her appointment times were so limited that I just couldn't get the time that suited my schedule but forcibly had to make changes to my schedule to pick a time that fits HER schedule. Shouldn't you be doing business to accommodate clients since they are PAYING YOU for the services???? Anyways I made the appointment for 4:00PM like two weeks in advance but then same day of my appointment, in the morning I got called to work so I called her right away to see if I can come later or another day because I just couldn't get out of my work situation. I was so surprised by her rude attitude. She told me she has very strict 24 hour cancellation policy and she cannot reschedule my appointment. I told her I can come any day anytime and I would really appreciate it if she can accommodate me on another day but she was not willing to make any kind of adjustment. She told me that I can only come the same day before 6 since she takes some class after that. I told her I get off work at 5 and the soonest I could get to her is at 5:30 and to my surprise she told me that yea then I can see you at 5:30. I was like "ummmm my facial is supposed to me 90 min which I paid for and you are telling me you'll give me half an hour????" She said "I cannot do anything for you. I stick to my policy and if you cant make it I don't know what else to tell you". I requested her again that things happen at last moment so she should be more understanding about it. She said to me "if you cant keep your appointment all I can do is honor the same deal next time you want to come but you would loose your voucher for this visit". I was like "so I paid for the facial which will be waste and then I pay for it again which means I am paying double the price for the facial!!" I told her that this is no way of doing business especially when a client is coming to you for the FIRST TIME!! To this she replied that "WELL IT IS MY BUSINESS AND I'LL DO IT THE WAY I WANT TO!" She is definitely the most RUDE and NON-ACCOMMODATING person I have ever come across. Even if I got free facials for life to this place I'LL NEVER EVER GO HERE. I am glad I didn't give my business to you and got to know your attitude even before coming in. read more

Aimee is just great. I went based on the great reviews on Yelp, and everyone was so right. As I hit my *cough* mid-thirties *cough* I was alarmed to see that I had begun to break out a lot. I thought I had dodged the acne bullet because my teen years weren't too bad, only to have bad breakouts once I got older. I had been getting facials at different places, but nowhere made a big difference until Aimee. She let me know that I didn't need to clean more harshly, but rather hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. I began doing that, and my skin cleared up almost immediately. I did buy the products she recommended, and have been going in for once a month facials. A few days after my last one, I had a person ask if I had graduated yet. It warmed this old lady's heart to be confused with with a college student! read more

I have been going to Aimee's Way for over a year now, and my skin his never felt this good! She is wonderful to work with and very thoughtful. read more

Ive been going to Aimee's Way since 2002 because of her professional conduct and skill of training. The excellent results I have received show by the knowledge of her skills. I recommend anyone to Amy who wants to get great results and the ultimate care. I highly recommend booking appointments 3 weeks in advance due to her popularity. read more

Just had my second Rezenerate Facial treatment from Amy. The Rezenerate Facial leaves me with incredibly smooth, moist, and lifted skin. Amy has amazing technique with her approach to skin care and facials. The studio is warm and welcoming which only adds to the positive experience you will have when you go to Aimee's Way. I definitely recommend booking a Rezenerate Facial this month because she is offering a special package for Rezenerate treatments! Thank you Amy! read more

During the past six months, I have taken advantage of special spa offers through the Groupon and TownHog web sites. I have had facials in spas and clinics up and down the Peninsula. Three of the establishments had plastic surgeons on board. Some were run by chain spas and others were owned privately. I also went to Kaiser's cosmetic center in Los Gatos. I narrowed my search down to two individuals that run their own small companies. Now, I have happily settled in with Aimee's Way Skin and Body Care. Amy knows my skin and body needs well. Amy spent more time analyzing my skin on my first visit, than my dermatologist and plastic surgeon spent in a year. Amy loves her work and it shows. I have had 15 treatments so far and plan to continue with maintenance treatments. The treatments last a long time and are unbelievable relaxing, especially the micro current treatment. Amy has convinced me that the face fares better when it is not assaulted with surgery or harsh chemicals. I have received compliments about the glow of my skin. The greatest benefit for me was the result of the full body lymphatic drainage treatment. I have suffered with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia for over ten years. Both lymphatic drainage and acupuncture treatments have brought me so much relief. I can not believe how healthy I am feeling now. My energy level has improved and I am not having as many migraine headaches. I wish that the medical doctors could spend time getting to know their patient's needs like Amy does. Amy provides ways to improve the whole body. My favorite treatment is her LED light treament, with lymphatic drainage, and microcurrent sculpting. She knows what she is doing and in fact teaches other aestheticians out of the area, how to use the equipment and the techniques. I love the fact that Amy runs her own business and makes her own decisions. The environment she has created is tranquill and peaceful. Amy truly takes the time to find out what the client's special needs are. My treatment is individualized just for me. I highly recommend Aimee's Way Body and Skin Care. read more

Great friendly service. Location is very clean and safe.and will leave relaxed and feeling good. If you wanna relax come here.

Owner/operator Aimee is the best. Knows her stuff. Spends lots of time and makes great suggestions.

My wife goes here once a week and, without prompting, I had to compliment her on how even her skin tone has become! At that point she began to gush about how nice Amy was...how helpful...how diligent... etc. She's trying to talk me into going there to take pilates classes with her as well. I'm up for it! Works great on her! read more
