I'm in love with NoFu's infrared sauna so much that I have a standing weekly session. It's the…read morehighlight of my week, and something I look forward to. The room is clean, you get to choose from a wide variety of infrared lights, and the temperature is just right, roughly 140 degrees. Susan is so pleasant and even gave me a tip about her Paypal deal so I can enjoy my weekly sessions without breaking the bank. I HIGHLY recommend incorporating infrared sauna in your self-care routine. It's something I was unsure of doing because of the heat, but I've found the heat to be surprisingly enjoyable, like people who like hot yoga. Plus, I've started incorporating breath work during my sauna sessions and it's been a transformative experience.

NOFU ? YES PLEASE !!!…read more WHO‍ KNEW ? I am SO grateful for the opportunity to attend the NoFu Skin Care Studio, 2-3 times a week for a few months now. I mainly go for the Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna treatments but have also experienced Reiki and several skin care products there as well. I am pleased above and beyond my expectations with the benefits I am experiencing from the two therapies and products, I have received from NoFu Skin Care Studio. I feel the benefits on many different levels of my health which is a welcomed surprise. With such a small commitment of routine time each week my complexion has cleared up, my skin is way more hydrated, supple, and glowing, the brown spots on the top of my hands have reduced immensely, my circulation is way better in all of my extremities, I feel great when I leave NoFu and notice that I have a little extra spring in my step that lasts throughout the week... yeah, I feel lighter, happier, and notice that I'm smiling more :) The services and products seem reasonably priced from what I've seen around, especially considering the results I've been experiencing. Sometimes it's been difficult to schedule but I feel empathy towards all people living in the world today and doing the very best they can given their very unique set of complex circumstances, within our shared reality. Sooo when I remain flexible, don't judge, and instead TRUST that it will all work out... it does And usually in an even better way for both of us!!! THANK YOU SUSAN, for all that you are authentically holding and healing in your own life and then show up still, with more to give back in service to your community :)

Chris is great! I've been seeing her for facials for many years. She also sees my teen son who…read moreequally adores her. My skin is always left feeling rejuvenated and calm after her treatments. My son's pores "can beathe". She's thorough w extractions, but she has really nice technique with her facials so you leave feeling quite relaxed. More recently, she got me started with pilates. She also teaches at her pilates studio, which is an extension of the spa a couple blocks away. Her new studio is airy, bright, spacious, has a beautiful mural and very nice brand new reformers. I had never done pilates or used a reformer, but Chris has been patient and taught me a lot. Chris's classes are very popular, but other instructors are great as well. Charlie has a jumpboard class that's really fun. You can get tougher workouts with Charmagne and Jenn.

Deirdre completely changed my skin (for the better!!!) When I first started seeing Deirdre, I was…read moresuffering from severe acne and bumps all over my face. After about 3-6 sessions, my skin was noticeably clearer, and after around 10-12 sessions my skin was completely smooth and break-out free. Not only did Deirdre use some of the best brands (murad, PCA, dermalogica), but she talked me through each step as she was putting masks/cleaners on my skin. I also enjoyed that she didn't use products that contained essential oils or scents, as they can be quite irritating for some skin types. The products she recommend were amazing as well and worked perfectly in my skin care routine, which I still follow 5 years later. It's a shame I don't live in the Bay Area anymore, or I'd be a regular customer again!

In addition, the staff at the Beauty Center where she is located are knowledgable, friendly and very service-oriented. I receive many compliments on how great my skin looks, from men and women alike - and I credit Deirdre's expert advice for the positive results. She helps me manage my skin (now mature), waxes my face and eyebrows, and teaches me how to enhance my assets with advice on makeup application. Deirdre keeps in touch with new developments in her profession. She doesn't just stick to one skin care routine or make up style/color for me - she frequently recommends different skin care or make up products as I am ready to replenish my supply so that I have the opportunity to try something different and often times better. I hired her to to do makeup for my wedding because I knew she would help me look my best; my sister looked fabulous too! Deirdre is tactful, professional and very competent. She stays on schedule so that you don't have to wait very long (a few minutes) to be seen once you arrive at your appointed time and, in turn, is appreciative to clients who are punctual. She is my secret weapon for looking as good as I can for as long as I can.

She is super friendly and…read moreknowledgeable and made me feel comfortable right away by asking what problem areas I was hoping to work on. She explains what will help with my concerns and is encouraging without making me feel scolded about my admittedly bad skincare habits. The treatment was really thorough (she asked about ALL the products I use - including my hair care!) and relaxing (I fell asleep during the red light therapy). She took the time to answer my questions and we even talked about some trendy skin care products/gadgets (she was down to earth about them and I really trusted her knowledge when it came to knowing what was -and wasn't- worth the expense and effort). When I say she was thorough, I should mention that toward the end the session, she noticed that I had a little dryness around my lip area and took the extra time to put a moisturizing treatment on my lips - you have to appreciate a girly that won't let you walk out with ashy lips! I leave feeling glowy, refreshed, and excited that we can achieve the skin I've been yearning for. Thank you so much Nai - I'm so thankful we have you here in Alameda now!
