Shelly's magic finger's and state of the art equipment combined with Elina's products truly brought my mature skin to a whole new happy level. Feeling nourished and beautiful. Thank you Shelley read more

I've been seeing Shelley for several years, as have my teenage children, and I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. Shelley's knowledge of skin and wellbeing, her use of exceptionally clean products, her ability to treat everything from acne to rosacea, and her evident care and passion for her craft, sets her apart from others. During the pandemic, Shelley impressively used the time off to learn additional skin care methods. As I've resumed regular facials with these new modalities, I've noticed my skin looking the best it has ever looked. My lines are less pronounced, my skin glows for weeks, and my rosacea is almost unnoticeable. I enthusiastically recommend Shelley to anyone who is new to facials, as well as to anyone who regularly gets facials and is looking for a cut above! read more

I've had 3 sessions with Shelley, and I am so happy that she is located in the Bay Area! First, she's a really nice aesthetician, and totally dedicated to her craft. I'm doing facial sculpting and yesterday, she also did some light therapy and anti-inflammation technique. Today, I noticed that my overall skin texture looks better, especially the areas around my eyes. Her treatments are very gentle and effective and the bonus is that I feel very relaxed afterwards. Can't wait for my next session! read more

First of all it is close to my house, I hate traveling into Oakland or SF for things. Also she only had 5 stars on her reviews and hey, IT'S MY FACE! Shelley was great, she made an appt. specifically for me on my day off b/c she doesn't usually work on Tuesdays. Her office was nice, clean and she was pleasant. She was very down to earth and has been doing facials for 17 years or more. I was there for my first dermabrasion appt. I was nervous b/c I have watched one too many plastic surgery gone wrong shows. I was scared to have my face fall off. Anyway, she does the diamond studded wand. I was wondering out loud if I should get a hydrating facial or microdermabrasion. She stated she could do both for me and charge one price. The facial used some kind of Russian neuromuscular stimulator, it made my face feel like it was having a stroke so I did panic. It's been a few days and I feel fine btw. The best things about the place is that they use homemade, organic products. They don't make them there, but the person who makes them only tests on her staff. The smell isn't too over powering. She was very experienced and I appreciated her "experience" I ended up splurging on sun screen , a cleanser and a moisturizer. As my age creeps up I am willing to spend more. The greatest thing is that the woman who makes the sun block puts in some minerals that changes the color of the bright white zinc. Aside from being all natural, you don't get that weird white nerdy residue. Usually I have to wash the all natural sun block off my face as soon as I come indoors, but this is great. I leave it on all day. NO BREAKOUTS. My face looks and feels good. The sun block feels a little tight on my face, but the pros outweigh the cons. I will definitely go back. The microdermabrasion was no big deal. In fact I am curious to see what other people do. I was expecting little more, but that is just me, my nick name is Damanda, so hey. I didn't look like a 12 year old in the face when I left, but I am definitely going back. pricey!!! read more

Got a deal from lifebooker...BEST DEAL EVAR. I've gotten facial before, and the first time I went to redeem my loot, I can't say that I was that impressed. First off, Google gives you the wrong directions if you put in her address, so you'll really have to look at the map to figure out where her office is located. I would even recommend giving her a call. Secondly, she doesn't really do any extractions, which I'm generally used to during facials. When I went back the second time, this is when I realized the gem that I had found. I felt like everything she was putting on my face probably tasted delicious too. And then when she started talking about the products and her background, you understand that it's for real holistic care. Everything is organic, as in from a plant/fruit/herb organic. I'm pretty sure she rubbed pure honey granules all over my face at one point for some exfoliation/hydration. Then, the products that she offers are all HANDMADE by her mentor...truly organic holistic care. Plus, since they're handmade, they actually change every season, since your skin becomes sort of immune to the products after awhile and won't receive as much benefit, so percentage levels, etc are changed periodically to ensure greater benefits. The only gripe I have is the cost. I'm young and poor, so I won't be going back to see Shelley any time soon, but I would highly recommend her to anyone! read more

I came to see Shelly last year during the summer for a 6 week facial package. Her products are truly clean and organic. Everything she puts on your face is plant-derived and she knows what she is doing. She is a sweet and personable and I always leave feeling amazing. Even when we do extractions, my face doesn't have major swelling and scarring like I've left other spas. She works with your skin at that moment and knows what NOT to put on your skin (which is extremely important) for any adult acne sufferers out there. I will definitely be back! read more

Shelley is committed to organic products to make your skin feel fabulous. As a 40-something who's always had great skin, the day finally came when it was time to do something about the issues like rosacia, age spots, and those darned enlarging pores. Shelley's products nourish the skin, and the treatments (cold laser) don't create the need for post treatment downtime. As someone who's committed to whole foods for inside my body, it's nice to find a practitioner who provides this same level of care for my skin. read more

Conscious Skin and Body Care's Shelley Rosenfeld is an experienced, talented aesthetician and masseuse. Her facials are attentive -- she uses products (and lots of products! no skimping) that are perfect for the needs of your skin. Shelley carefully assesses your skin's condition and uses what's best for you. This is a different from some large, commercial spas that may tend to push products that unfortunately don't offer a range of customizable ingredients to choose from. The 6 or so facials I've done with Shelley have included a variety of treatments: careful extractions, peels, use of a laser, exfoliation, lots of steam (well, I usually ask for that specifically because I like it!), massage, and of course use of several different masks and lotions--all prepared fresh during my facial. There is a total focus on natural, organic, plant-based aromatherapy and skin care through use of the seasonally-changing Elina products/ingredients. I've used a lot of products, from LaMer, to Dr. Perricone, to MD Formulations, to Aveda. I still use a number of different items from different product lines, but I really like the Elina products that her day spa sells and uses. The effects on my skin are nourishing and offer noticeable, positive improvements and care. Many years ago, Shelley worked at a large spa in the East Bay. She knew she wanted to provide healthful, plant-based facials and skin care in a more personal, from-the-heart environment. She opened her own day spa, and in researching different organic products, she studied with Elina Fedotova, a cosmetic chemist, herbalist, and aesthetician who is the creator of the Elina line of skin care products, based in Chicago. All these products are organic and change formulations seasonally. Shelley is certified in Reiki, aromatherapy, massage, and as an aesthetician. You will enjoy relaxing at her spa. It's decorated with a Morrocan theme and is very cozy and welcoming. It's easy to get to Alameda, and there's an off-street parking lot. Shelley is a friendly, knowledgable, talented aesthetician and you will enjoy the results she can help you achieve. If you are interested, check out the Elina website for more info on these organic products www.elinaskincare.com and you can check out Conscious Skin and Body Care's website at www.consciousskinandbody.com read more

Shelley, gives the most luscious and amazing facials! I started seeing her about 14 years ago when I was pregnant and having hormonal breakouts . Even though I live in San Francisco now, I still make the trek to Alameda because that is how special her facials are. I've tried other places, but no one compares. Her attention to detail, methods, products, adaptability for current skin issues, cutting edge technology, along with her gentle touch are unsurpassed. She has taught me so much about how to care for my skin and has an inspired attitude about aging, health and self image. Seeing Shelley is always a delightful experience!!! read more

Shelley at Conscious Skincare is the only aesthetician I fully trust. She is highly educated, focusses on natural products and care, has treatments that heal all kinds of conditions, is gentle and incredibly skillful. She did light therapy on a very ugly red blotch of trauma on my cheek that helped it heal in just days. Her office is beautiful, easy to find and has plenty of parking. But the real value is Shelley herself! She's helped me understand my skin and how to best care for it. She's kind, understanding and has educated me about better skincare. Some facials just make your skin feel good for a few hours, but Shelley's last for many days (sometimes longer!) of soft, healthy skin. She offers great value for the high quality service and products she uses. Highly recommended! read more

My skin looked amazing I felt amazing!!! She is so kind and genlte. I highly reccommend Facials with Shelly!!! I already booked my next appointment. read more

Just got the Microdermabrasion and feel years younger. I have been to Shelley before for facials but have always thought microderm would be too harsh on my skin. Shelley's newsletter mentioned it could help with hydration, which is an issue for my skin. Perfect for the fall season when the air is getting dryer! It was one of the best things I could have done! read more

My facial cleared up my skin! :) Highly recommend Shelley. Personalized and friendly care. read more

I brought my 14 year old to Shelley for a facial to help with acne. Shelley did so much more than just a facial. She talked about proper diet, vitamins, home skin care and stress reduction for helping acne as well. I like that all of her products are chemical free and natural. By the end of the appointment we noticed the acne inflammation and redness were significantly reduced. We also purchased a cleanser and toner and within a few days we can see even more improvements. I highly recommend Shelley and love that she not only helped treat acne but also helped with my teens self esteem too. As we were leaving Shelley told my teen she was beautiful and that it was important to accept herself. read more

Shelley's hands are the best. This is the second time I went to her and I wish I knew her before. I feel so good after visiting her. I highly recommend her. read more

Shelley does amazing work from wonderful facials to hot stone massages to other specialized treatments. its so relaxing there that as soon as you get on the table your ready to drift however if your up for a nice chat Shelley always has some wonderful stories and often we end up with the giggly stories.

I must say its hard to choose what to do sometimes so try something new on your future visits and you'll be amazed all over again! read more

My skin is alive and vibrant. Shelley has commitment to using organic and nontoxic products to give all of her clients glowing, healthy skin read more

Shelley has completely transformed my skin. I used to have dry patches and get breakouts on my face. Now I love my skin and get lots of complements. I love getting my facials too. Shelley has created a beautiful, relaxing environment. She has a great touch and is down-to-earth sweet. She knows when to talk and when to let you just zone out. Her skin care products are great--all natural and organic. I've never seen them anywhere else. She's very professional and clean so you don't have to worry about taking home anything that you didn't mean to. I can't recommend her highly enough. read more

Shelley's facial was the first I've ever received that didn't irritate my very sensitive skin. The products she uses are amazing. I drifted into waking dreamland as she worked on me and left her office feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Can't wait to go back! read more

I've been seeing Shelley for several months now, and my skin is healthier than ever! I've suffered from "adult acne" for 20 years - from age 20 to 40. Not only did it look terrible, it was uncomfortable! After useless creams and advice from dermatologists I decided to take a more holistic approach to the problem - using acupuncture for the inside and Shelley's work on the outside. I'm enjoying the clearest skin I've had in decades. I love the natural, organic, non-toxic products - they are not inexpensive, BUT they work - and smell great (not perfume-y). I truly feel like I'm nourishing my skin. I especially love that Shelly knows the science behind skin care - she knew that physical exfoliation practices are actually NOT good for Asian skin and only makes brown spotting worse. Shelly knows her stuff, is down-to-earth, kind - a great local find. I look forward to my visits to her and highly recommend her. read more
