This review is long overdue!…read more I started seeing Brittany for facials almost a year ago, and have seen consistent results in the texture and condition of my skin. Over the past year I saw her regularly for hydrofacials and dermaplaning. I recently just did my first biorepeel and was astounded at the results. Even my male coworkers were asking me what I had done to my skin because it had such great results. Also, Brittany has consistently recommended SPF and skincare products that met my concerns and budget, again leaving me with products that I felt actually improved my skin with noticeable results. Brittany is a warm and kind person who I feel like genuinely cares about her clients and their skincare goals. Anyone would be lucky to incorporate visits to her as part of their skincare routine!

From day one, she's had an amazing rapport -- she's welcoming, knowledgeable, and truly listens to your concerns instead of pushing unnecessary treatments. She takes the time to explain what she's doing and why, which makes every visit feel personalized and thoughtful. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and their results, not just the appointment. I also love the products she carries -- high quality, effective, and perfectly suited to what she recommends in treatments. My skin has improved so much over the years because of her guidance and consistency. If you're looking for an esthetician who is skilled, trustworthy, and builds real relationships with her clients, she's the one. I recommend her without hesitation.

I wish there were more stars to give Nubo! From their lovely front desk staff, to their great…read moreseasonal specials, you always get a good vibe and deal. Shiva, the Harry Potter of aestheticians, a true wizard, and the genius of her expertise astounds me. I never walk away feeling over done, or not looking like myself, rather a more refreshed, best version. When friends ask if I'm using new skin care products, rather than, "what work have you had done?" you know you're in great hands. I trust NO ONE ELSE with my face other than Queen Shiva. I bow at her altar. While some reviews do point out that their prices are a bit higher - which is true - they are not the cheapest, but they are also not the most expensive: you pay for what you get! Their prices are comparable to places I've gone before in Walnut Creek who were voted "Best Of", and WAY better. Night and day. There are some things in life that you should never skimp on, or go to the cheapest person for, a lawyer (when/if you need one) and a plastic surgeon/injectables. You are paying for someone who has years of experience, and it shows! Shiva has a deep understanding of anatomy, and her meticulousness during each session is something I haven't experienced before, save for my derm/M.D. in LA. Thank you Nubo for treating clients with warmth and grace, and thank you Shiva for being your blessed self!!

I've had filler once, Botox once, and two RF microneedling sessions and it's like the technicians are OCD. Three full passes, every patch of skin is covered, and the results are the best I've had. They give you time to numb, and they do a great job distracting you from the discomfort if you do decide to go for a more intense setting. Also, really helpful with the GLP, clear labeling on each syringe, and easy FaceTime with the doctor. I've never had to wait past an appointment time and there's always parking. Really grateful I found this spot. Note: Sheila did the rf microneedling if you end up scheduling that service. I normally have some white spots but after the service with her my entire face is covered and it shows in the results.

I booked a consultation with Dr. Shay with the intent to purchase a skin treatment package since…read morethe $200 consultation fee can go towards the treatments. The interior of the medspa is clean, minimal, and thoughtfully designed. The consultation was pretty short and confirmed what treatment I was looking for. I felt uncomfortable about the various treatment and product recommendations because I didn't feel like I had a say in what I wanted to opt in or out of. Dr. Shay informed me that a package of 5 was recommended (since packages are usually at a discount vs individual) and that it is typically $950/session for the face, but that she would honor the 5-package sessions to use for my arms as well. When I was walked back up to the front desk, I was quoted a different (higher) price for the package. I wish there was more communication between the staff because I definitely felt cheated. I was ready to purchase the package of 5 as quoted by Dr. Shay, but after hearing the discrepancies I felt hesitant to commit to Kintsu for so many sessions and opted to purchase just a single session which I used the next day instead. Additionally, a skincare product box set was brought up to the front as if I was going to purchase it when in fact I never agreed to it. Thankfully the ladies respected my decision and didn't try to push the product, although I did feel like I was being judged in the moment. I was also recommended a facial which I was not interested in and again felt like I was cornered into purchasing. The day of my treatment went much better, but could still use some improvements. It would've also been nice to have a clock in the room where the prep was done. I was sitting in there for what felt like ages and didn't want to move around too much reaching for my phone. The treatment itself felt pretty straightforward and the nurse had a calm demeanor which was appreciated. I couldn't remember what the aftercare instructions were, so a post-treatment care sheet would've been helpful. The nurse also said she would give me an ice pack afterwards to help sooth my skin, but I wasn't given one and just went up to the front to pay - oh well, no biggie but sometimes the details are what makes the clients feel appreciated and coming back. Overall, I wouldn't be opposed to coming back here if I wanted the convenience of going somewhere close by. The treatment itself was fine, but just be aware that products and services may be pushed on you and to just be firm about what your focus is.

I also want to mention that when she used the bathroom, she did not wash her hands that long.

I needed extractions for under the skin breakouts, which she did while explaining how they came about and how to help them from recurring. I looked better the next day even after these, she was gentle and skilled, witha lovely manner and highly experienced. I enthusiastically recommend her and I'm planning to return regularly.
