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.

She's also such a sweetheart--so welcoming and kind, which makes every visit a great experience. Her office is clean, beautifully remodeled, and very professional. And as a loyal client, I've even received discounts on services, which I truly appreciate. I highly suggest Jessica to anyone looking for quality, care, and natural results. I'll definitely continue going back to her!

She gave me a prescription that I've been using now for four years--no probs refilling and skin all good. But recently I went to refill and she refused saying I need to come in. Of course, there are no appointments and she refused to give me even one refill while I wait (2-3+ months). Then the front desk person tells me I can buy my prescription from them without an appt...for $100! The cream costs me $15 normally. What a racket. I also brought my son in to have a spot on his skin checked and was appalled by Dr Fang's treatment of an 8 year old. Totally unfriendly. Took a 5-second glance, shamed us for worrying about what was apparently nothing (though our primary care doc had told us to go in) and then walked out. I'd give zero stars if I could.

I originally came in…read morejust to add some volume to my cheeks and the injector convinced me that I needed more structure that will "lift" my face more. They upsold me 2 syringes of juvederm and prp under eyes for a whopping $2,000. All of this was such a waste because my face just looks like a round fat pillowy face and when I look at my before pictures I looked so much younger with nice cheek bone structure. The difference is saddening. Five months later and I have now decided it will not settle anymore and look any better and that I've come to reality that this was a big mistake. Do not trust them to enhance your beauty. They will ruin your looks so that they can make an extra buck. I thought I could trust them because of the good reviews but this was clearly not the case.

My range of motion was significantly limited and I was in pain every time I tested those boundaries. I had plenty of massages and acupuncture, but nothing relieved the issue. I decided to give Andreea a call, and I'm so glad I did. Now, bear in mind, this is no zen spa experience. Don't come in here for dim lights and gentle atmospheric piano. I at one point compared it to childbirth (in a learning to be present with discomfort way, not in a dear god there's a human exiting me way). It was intense. But immediately afterward, I sat up and scratched my back. Big whoop, you think? Indeed. I hadn't been able to do so without pain in at least six months. This was an investment, but Andreea got the job done in a single session. I even asked if I needed to come back, and she was completely transparent that she didn't think I needed to, but of course was welcome back if anything came up in the future -- zero upselling pressure. If you're experiencing pain and nothing's worked, I highly recommend getting in here and getting better.
