Shelly continues to be an amazing person to get lasered by 3 years later. She checks up every few months and is extremely kind and I love talking to her, she is not only a genuine and kind human but cares to give the best results to her clients (and to make them feel comfortable and at ease). I have had amazing results from my Brazilian and underarm sessions (and I have very dark / coarse hair). It has been an absolute miracle for my ingrowns from when I used to shave often. I hope to continue to see Shelly for as long as I live nearby! You rock Shelly!! read more

Started seeing Shelly 2 years ago for laser hair removal & have had a great experience! She provides reasonably priced packages that take place in a clean & welcoming environment with a friendly & knowledgeable practitioner who makes the experience as comfortable as possible (stress balls to squeeze, icing the areas between zaps). She is also great with responding promptly & about checking in to adjusting the frequency of appointments depending on where things are at with your hair growth as opposed to pushing a set schedule that may be less effective & lead to needing more sessions. I just finished the last of my sessions this week & am super happy with the results. As an esthetician myself (though not certified in laser, otherwise, I'd do my own!), I really appreciate all the little ways she makes the experience more comfortable & if I weren't leaving the area I would definitely continue to come to Skinnovate for my lasering needs! read more

Shelly is great in explaining how it works and very knowledgeable. She is really a nice person who doesn't try to charge you or make you come more often than required. read more

Shelly is a gem. She replied to my message immediately and has made the whole process super easy. This was my first time with laser hair removal, so I walked in feeling nervous and she quickly made me feel at ease. She's really skilled and made the process feel fun and comfortable. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else for laser! read more

Great place, I bought a gift for my wife here and she is very impressed and happy with the service. Communication is at the highest level. She explained me all details and ask multiple questions before I make the purchase. I will definitely recommend if you plan to buy any service as a gift or of you do it for yourself ( at least my wife is very satisfied and happy with results and attitude of the person she is dealing with) read more

Shelly is awesome! She genuinely cares about her clients and goes over and beyond to ensure comfort and satisfaction. She is knowledgeable and experienced and very easy to talk to. You would be crazy to go elsewhere for laser! read more

My partner was very excited for laser hair removal and in particular for Skinnovate, due to what appears on the surface to be consistently high ratings - but her experience ended up extremely disappointing. I would not recommend reaching out if this is your first time, or if you simply have questions about understanding the procedures that might happen to your body. My partner exchanged two emails with questions. The first email had a prompt reply and was very pleasant, which was (past tense) really nice to see. My partner wrote a second polite email asking about numbing treatments and the types of lasers, to understand the safety aspects. She was by Shelly that "Based on your amount of questions and overall concerns for so many things" that Shelly didn't want to work with us. Shelly's rejection and suggestion for us was a chain of laser hair removal that has, on average less than 3 stars on Yelp. You can interpret that as you want. I don't think it's unreasonable to be concerned about a new procedure that involves pain - if Shelly isn't willing to alleviate concerns about safety, I don't think this business could be recommended to be used or even contacted. Frankly, we don't feel safe with practitioners who are unwilling to answer questions. Or, maybe we are supposed to just not ask too many questions? read more

Shelly really is the best! I went to her for my first laser hair removal treatments (bikini area) and she was very professional and put me at ease. I loved my results so much I've decided to continue with underarms and legs. Highly recommended. Shelly runs her own business and I can text her directly if I have any questions or concerns. Prices are reasonable and worth every penny. read more

Shelly is the real deal! I have been here twice so far for underarm and bikini line laser treatments and everything has been great! Shelly is super informative from the very beginning letting you know the ins and outs of laser hair removal and the cost. I really appreciated her being upfront about the cost because a lot of people aren't. She walks you through the entire process and let's you know what she's doing as she's doing it. The procedure itself takes 10 minutes or less (depending what area and areas you're getting done). Now it's not painful but i would relate the laser to a very hard rubber band snap. Definitely manageable to deal with. On the plus side you also start seeing results after the first time! Shelly is fantastic! I will be back for more treatments and maybe even a facial! read more

Why didn't I do this sooner? I had no idea how effective and affordable laser hair removal was! Shelly is the only place I could find that has prices readily available, which I loved because I wanted to know what I was getting myself into. So far I have gone in twice for a session on my bikini and upper leg, then underarm and lower leg. Shelly is super funny and real. She makes you crack up the entire time so you almost don't feel a thing. It isn't painless, but each laser zap is comparable to plucking a hair on whichever area is being treated. I've never had my bikini area treated. Mainly, I didn't want to put myself through the torture of a bikini wax for very temporary results! My first sessions were three weeks ago and my hair is at least 90% gone in every area! I really wanted to get to the point where my hair just falls out of my skin, but stubble is my worst enemy so I shave daily. Yes it takes about seven sessions for permanent results but you get hair loss after the FIRST TIME! I don't think enough people know that. Shelly is fantastic and I will definitely be returning to Skinnovate for future sessions! read more

Shelly is a skin whisperer! I was long overdue for a facial and my skin is glowing. I'm a self admitted skincare nerd and Shelly was able to teach me a few new tricks and make some great recommendations. Her space is darling and boy is that massage heavenly. I can't wait to come back and at such a reasonable price point I'm going to make this a monthly treat so I can keep up this glow! read more

Wow! What an awesome feeling getting laser! I did something really good for myself. Shelly made my visit to have my happy place looking pretty. Excited to wear a bathing suit for my Cancun vacation. She was funny and very professional throughout the whole process. I felt very comfortable from beginning to end and will definitely refer my friends to look into getting laser treatments vs painful waxing. Location was right next to Bellevue square mall with plenty of parking. Zero wait time too. read more

Skinnovate - Medical Spas Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I have had best experience with Shelly! I just had one session and can't wait for the rest. Shelly has answered every single question of mine and made the process so easy. The treatment wasn't painless. But Shelly did a great job distracting me and made it almost painless. If you're thinking of getting it done here, you're at the right place! :) read more

Shelly earns all PLUS 5 stars!!! She has the patience of Job! I was very anxious and she took time to explain and put up with my dramatic antics. At the end of the day, greatest experience... nothing like an afternoon of lasering your parts!! read more

I love Shelly and am so thankful for her services! She is amazing at laser hair removal and I really appreciate her transparency and recommendations. She's never trying to peddle unnecessary services on you and will let you try a first removal before you commit to a package, which I really appreciate. I've been seeing her now for over a year and she is awesome. read more

Shelly is amazing! She is friendly, knowledgeable, and is dedicated to ensuring that her clients are happy customers. The scheduling process was fast and easy and she responds promptly to all messages. I have been wanting to do laser treatments for years, but have always been too nervous...I've never had faith in the people that I've consulted with. Shelly put me at ease and the process was really fairly painless. I'm now planning to do even more areas than originally planned. After just one treatment, the results have exceeded all expectations!! read more

Shelly is absolutely amazing! She's incredibly knowledgeable, has great suggestions as what would work best for you, and has GREAT product always available. After 2 services I saw a noticeable difference in my complexion and skin - and SO MUCH FOR THE BETTER! I just spent a week in Hawaii and took along the sunscreen that Shelly suggested. Being a fair skinned person, I'm used to having 2 options: Burn or don't tan. Using the sunscreen that Shelly had I didn't burn AND I got tan! I originally found Shelly through a Gilt City promotion and was slightly hesitant at trusting my face to someone I didn't know. I am so glad I bought that certificate. I will never NOT have Shelly in my back pocket! read more

Y'all, Shelly is legit. I scheduled a laser hair removal session with her and she was incredible. I've gone to so many different places to get my stubborn hair lasered and Shelly tops them all. I am so thankful to have found her, she's a gem and she can never leave the Seattle area :) read more

Plain and simple, I hate to shave... Over the years I've tried everything to not end up with an extremely irritated neck. I decided to give laser a shot in hopes that I could stop having to shave the worst areas. From the start I was told that it would require multiple treatments for permanent hair removal, it was definitely worth it. Shelly at Skinnovate is great, she was easy to schedule with and gave me all the details prior to making the decision to go for it. The clinic in Downtown Bellevue is easy to get to, quiet and relaxing. Best part...no more irritated neck! read more

Shelly rocks my socks! As a younger person dealing with ingrown hairs, I wasn't entirely sure if laser hair removal was going to be the solution for me. After trying out my first underarm treatment, I was sold! You can see immediate effects after the first treatment, with the process getting easier and less painful each time. While laser hair removal is an investment, Shelly is incredibly understanding. She didn't pressure me into buying the packages of 7 treatments, but allowed me to see how each area went before paying for the whole pack. She's now my resource for all of my hair removal needs, and I look forward to getting to talk to her! A great conversationalist like her is a fabulous distraction from the rubber band sensation of laser. If I can stand the little pain, I'm sure you can too! read more

Wonderful experience!!! Shelly is super friendly, funny and knowledgeable--the treatment was painless (lower legs and underarms)! She is great about providing directions, was really kind about a last minute change request, and explains step-by-step the process, what to expect, the costs and treatment options, etc. Highly, highly recommend!!! read more

She has perfect 5 star reviews for a reason and this review is seriously overdue. I stumbled across Shelly after having a not-so-great experience a couple years ago getting lasered at a med spa. It's an amazing one-on-one experience that's more relaxing & fun than anything! Obviously laser hair removal is not the most comfortable thing in the world, but you'll laugh & talk your way through it. I always feel comfortable seeing Shelly for lasering ANYWHERE on my body & she takes all the precautions if you're nervous about going during covid time. I used to be someone that needed to be waxed every 2-4 weeks consistently for years. Now, I can go weeks without needing to shave with super soft skin & no ingrowns. It's an investment, but seriously so so so worth it. You'll lose your hair & gain an amazing laser friend! read more

I am obsessed with skin & skin care. I am EXTREMELY picky about who I let touch my face and since I am new to Washington I did a lot of research on who to go to for a facial/peels etc. AND I FOUND SHELLY! everyone's reviews had me so intrigued & I can vouch and say that not only is Shelly super sweet & amazing SHE IS A SKIN EXPERT ! She is very knowledgeable and answers any & all questions you have regarding skin !

Today my face feels SOOOO SOFT & I feel glowy :) I'm forsure going to get a peel next time so I'll definitely update this review and see how that goes ! Shelly gives clear directions on how to find her office, it's very simple & parking is free which is great because it's in Bellevue! Anyway, if you're contemplating where to go COME SEE SHELLY :) ! read more

I started getting laser hair removal with Shelly about 6 months ago and my results have been nothing but fabulous! She is very knowledgeable and precise and does a great job removing all my unwanted hair. She's also very clean and sanitary, and does her best to make you as comfortable as possible during the treatment. I have made the mistake in the past purchasing cheaper Groupon laser deals and had no results and only wasted my money. I learned that you really get what you pay for and am so happy I found her! On top of her awesome laser hair removal treatment, she gives a wonderful facial! I was so relaxed and almost fell asleep multiple times. My skin also looks great! read more

Have just had a full custom facial, first time customer and I am sold. Shelly the owner is fabulous. She uses amazing products and has an incredible practice. I am not one that treats myself to something like this but definitely am a fan and will be back for more. The whole hour was perfect; quiet, cool and so soothing and healing. My skin feels wonderful. Thank you Shelly for a wonderful experience. read more

I can not say enough great things about Shelly. She gives the most incredible facial, I have been seeing Shelly for over 5 years and think she is the best!

Shelly is awesome! Love my facials there. She does the best massage I've ever had as part of a facial, and she doesn't try to sell you a bunch of product, which I really appreciate.

Shelly is the best! I have been doing laser treatments with Shelly for the last few months and just had a facial with her as well. Her sense of humor makes the laser process so much easier, plus I started seeing results after my first treatment. Her facial was relaxing and left my skin feeling amazing. Thanks Shelly!!! read more

Shelly gave me the longest, most wonderful and relaxing facial ever! She has incredible skin and product knowledge and truly enjoys what she does. If you book a facial with Shelly, I promise you will not be disappointed, she is the BEST!!! read more

I had a skin tightening facial treatment, it was AMAZING! I have gotten facials, hydrofacials, and random skin tightening through the years, this was by far, the best treatment I have ever had. I highly recommend this facial treatment. Jacque offered a package program, I never purchase packages, but this one I couldn't pass up. I want to continue getting these treatments, no more looking around for a great esthetician or a good deal, I found them both. I'm sold! read more

Last time I was at home in the PNW I decided to try Shelly for a facial, it was so relaxing and she addressed some issues like uneven skin tone, under eye puffiness and circles, and texture that I struggle with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve the appearance of their skin. The location was also convenient to where I stay while I'm in town and there was plenty of parking. read more

I have been going to Shelly for years and have always been thrilled with my results. She is a very knowledgeable esthetician and truly cares about personalizing your experience to meet your skin care goals. Shelly is very warm and friendly and I always feel comfortable during my services. read more

Skinnovate is a great little spa that is owned and operated by Shelly (the master in facials) - every woman in Seattle needs to know about the wonders she can do to your skin. Skinnovate is conveniently located in downtown Bellevue, the location offers plenty of parking and the decor inside the spa is so beautiful - very relaxing. I've seen Shelly for several treatments since opening her spa and she is incredibly knowledgeable about skin care, and has done wonders to my skin with her amazing facials. A few days ago I had a bad break out on my face and when it wouldn't go away on its own I decided to go to Shelly as I knew she could help get my face back to normal. My facial appointment with her was yesterday and my skin looks amazing today...it's as if the acne was never there. I couldn't believe how great my skin looked when I woke up today - hands down Shelly is simply a miracle worker. read more

I have been going to Shelly for several months now and it's time for a review. I've gone to her for facials, peels and laser treatment (for underarm). She is so comfortable to work with and a great communicator !! The facials are so relaxing, I would pay for an extra hour to nap afterwards lol. I recently had a holiday party and went to her for a facial beforehand. She assaulted everything out of my face and for the evening my skin was soft, glowy and just perfect. For someone who has that lifelong skin troubles struggle, that says a lot! I highly recommend going here. Get one facial I dare you, you'll be hooked. read more
