At 40, I've finally learned what real skin care means -- Shelly doesn't just give incredible facials, she educates you on how to truly care for your skin at home. My skin is healthier, calmer, and more radiant because I finally understand what it actually needs. read more

Shelly is absolutely AMAZING!!!!! I purchased a Groupon for Lux Esthetics about a year ago and have been hooked ever since. I see Shelly once a month and leave there feeling as if I've just spent an hour and a half in heaven. When I first started going to Shelly, I was experiencing the typical skin problems that haunt nearly every woman in her early 30s. After the first few months my skin was back to normal and I owe it all to this lovely lady. She customizes your treatment with every visit so I KNOW I'm getting the best treatment for me each time. Shelly uses excellent products and is very generous with her materials. She'll give you samples to try and only introduces you to products that will truly benefit your skin. This month was my birthday month and Shelly made it a super special facial (extra long and lovely) just because it was my birthday! I wouldn't go anywhere else! I had a regular Esthetician before Shelly and then she moved...let me tell you...I had no idea that facials were supposed to be this good. I'm so happy to have found her....:) read more

Best. Facial. Ever! Shelly did a great job and was very informative. Usually, after a facial, I break out. NOT with Shelly! She uses great products that smell so good. My skin felt refreshed and glowy after my treatment. The massaging is the best. And you even get an amazing foot massage. Lux is in an uber-cute space in Little Italy. Very homey feel to it. I loved every minute of this facial. If you're in need of a facial, go here! A+! read more

I have been going to Shelly for around 6 years now. She is great. She does my brows every 3 weeks and they always look great. Every 3 to 4 months I get a facial. I have very sensitive skin and I also have psoriasis. She has always been very careful with what she uses. Also as a a person with sensitive skin, I ask her what she plans on using on my skin before EVERY facial. Shelly has very positive energy that makes the experience even better. She also listens to me during the treatment if something feels uncomfortable, ie too much steam. During the facials you barely hear her move around the room. To top it off she gives a great foot/leg massage and also a neck/shoulder rub during the facial. A must try if you want someone to do your brows regularly or the occasional facial. read more

Shelly gives the best facials I have ever had...She has extensive knowledge of skin care. I have "mature" skin and when I leave her care...I have glowing and radiant skin! She takes years off my face...at least that's how I feel. Also, when I go for a facial, i want to relax and Shelly is very peaceful and sweet, making relaxing an easy thing to do. I highly recommend her! You will be glad you went to her!!! read more

I'm Gaby. I've been going to Shelly for 7 years. Since I first started seeing her, after having my first born, she fixed me up. Since then, I've had many changes, more kids being one. I sometimes cannot see her more often, but everytime I return to her ( and only to her), my skin heals and looks fabulous. I have congestion, pigmentation, dry skin, and she always tames my skin, not back to normal, but better. I love her high quality organic products, her magical hands, and her sweet, sweet way of truly caring. More so, she is reasonable compared to all other places.One look at her, and you will trust her to do anything to your skin! She truly knows what she is doing and highly knowledgeable about products and procedures. She customizes your facials to your needs. I trust her with every inch of skin cell. read more

Shelly is absolutely awesome. I have been going to her for years, and my previously acne ridden skin has become flawless. I split my time between New York and San Diego, and I always wait to get my facials with Shelly. With all the salons in NYC, Lux is still wayyyy better. Shelly has a vivacious personality, and as soon as you see her beautiful skin in person, you will be convinced that she is the real deal! Plus, she is a good listener. Doesn't get much better! read more

Shelly was awesome! Super friendly and sweet. She had calming music playing and chatted with me the whole time. I got offered water before and after the facial and wasn't cut short on time like other places. I did buy the yelp deal, but will definitely come back for the regular price! I've already recommended her to my friend since my face still appeared normal even after the extractions lol. read more

Shelly was great! I got a very relaxing facial and my skin looks great! I'll definitely be back!

Shelly is amazing! I just celebrated my 40th B-day in June. As a gift to myself I receive a monthly facial from Shelly. Best gift ever! My skin looks and feels fantastic. I recommend Shelly and all her fabulousness to all! read more

I love Shelly, my skin loves Shelly! She is so welcoming and pleasant! And her massages are the best! xoxoxoxoxoxo

I am loving Shelly and my skin again. I purchased a Bloomspot for a diamond microdermabrasion session with Shelly. When I used it I was so impressed with her, the space (attractiveness, cleanliness and quietness), and her knowledge, I booked a facial for the following month. I just had my facial on Thursday, she had recommended the Lux Ultrasonic, it was wonderful. I saw a reduction in poor size the same day, and it seems like my skin has gotten even better (softer, better tone) over the last three days. I already booked my next facial. When I left her studio my skin felt light and awake. I am so grateful to have found her!! My skin looks and feels amazing. And, BOUNS! She doesn't push product on you. I love that :) If you are looking for something new in your Skincare life, I couldn't reccoment Shelly more. I hope this was helpful :) I also hope you do your skin a lovely favor and visit Shelly. She's wonderful. read more

Shelly was amazing! Kind, sweet and so knowledgable. I had an absolutely amazing experience here and I can't wait to go back again next month.. If you want to feel wonderful and look gorgeous book an appointment with her now! read more

Having troubled skin I have gotten many facials over the years with several esthetician. Shelly has a amazing touch and does such an great job. My skin looks and feels great after, and I feel so relaxed. I look forward to my next appointment. read more

My wife has been using Shelly for many years. Each time she comes home the results are astounding. The storks I hear about the care and concern are quite moving. I hope more and more people get the opportunity to use this fabulous service. read more

I loved my facial at Lux! It was relaxing & personalized to my skin needs. Shelly is wonderful! Look forward to visiting her again soon.

I've had a series of diamond micro-dermabrasion treatments, and have seen a real difference in the appearance of my skin. My face just has a more youthful and healthier appearance,. Thank you Shelly for your professionalism. I know I am in very capable hands, and I appreciate your thorough care. Joyce Ml read more

I nearly have no words to describe how happy I am that I found Lux Esthetics! I have tried so many different places for facials, that I had nearly given up completely. I have sensitive skin, but not in the traditional sense (I am allergic to many of the natural ingredients as I have allergies/sensitivities to fruit and vegetables). Shelly has really helped me improve my skin, without leaving me with awful rashes afterwards. I would (and have) recommend her for anyone looking for a great experience! And the best part, her prices are consistent and more than reasonable!! read more

I went to see Shelly for a facial for the first time without knowing anything about her or her business. Having had problem skin, I was leery to try someone new. It was amazing! She is very knowledgeable and so sweet and down to earth. Her space in Little Italy is so charming and comfortable. It was so relaxing, and hands down the perfect balance of comfort and professionalism. You will not be disappointed! read more

Shelly has been helping me to look young, feel wonderful and and healthy for years now. Her treatments are never cookie cutter and she constantly adapts both to new technology, products and the environment. I can count on her to excercise her professionalism should something go awry. For instance, once I made the mistake of going elsewhere for waxing and they burned my face. Shelly made me whole again, gently and patiently without any judgment. I will NEVER leave her again. I have recommended her to numerous friends and now they all love her as well. In addition to knowing what she is doing when it comes to skin, she is genuinely kind and loving and brimming with positive energy. Shelly is a special human being and a special esthetician. You can't find anyone better. read more

What can I say, Shelly is awesome!!! My skin always looks fabulous after her loving hands have done their magic. She knows just what to do to make my skin look its best based on the time of year and the condition of my skin. Shelly is so zen, she just makes me so comfortable, I just love her. I recently took my daughter for an appointment. She was nervous going for her very first facial, Shelly got her so relaxed and her skin was glowing afterward. Now Shelly has another fan! Thanks Shelly for your wonderful care:)!!! read more

I have been going to Shelly for about seven years now and she's never disappointed me. She has seen me through two pregnancies and a number of eczema flare ups. She's got an awesome touch, can customize your facial to adapt to your skin's needs, and uses great products. I always leave with smile on my face, not only from the great facial but the wonderful conversations we always end up having. I highly recommend going to Lux Esthetics!! read more

Shelly has been my esthetician for many years now, and she is absolutely amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable about all skin types. She takes her time to really listen to my skin issues and concerns and then knows exactly what to do. She also uses the most wonderful products, I am constantly asking her what she is putting on my face that smells and feels so good. I also love the location of Lux, right in the heart of Little Italy. Like I said, I have been going to her for quite a few years, and I have no desire to go anywhere else! I highly highly recommend Lux Esthetics! read more

Was having a short girlfriend vacation in San Diego and we scheduled facials with Shelly. We all felt she was talented and professional. The area she's in is great. read more
