Ellie is the best, and here's why: She's knowledgeable. She keeps up-to-date with all the latest equipment and product lines. In fact, I would call her a student of skincare because she has a genuine interest in the subject, and always wants to improve her services and the results she gives clients. She's sincere. She wants the best for you and your skin. She won't up-sell anything she thinks won't work on your skin just because she can. She uses everything (equipment, products) on her own skin first, to test efficacy and results. I trust her recommendations entirely because I know they come from her genuine commitment to what works best for the client, and NOT what she can sell you just for the sake of selling. She's committed. She goes the extra mile, paying close attention to what is going on with your face. She doesn't just do whatever she did the last time if there is something exceptional going on with your skin. I really appreciate how much she pays attention, month to month (I see here monthly), and notices small differences in my skin tone or quality, and will make an adjustment if she thinks it's necessary. She cares, she's honest, she's skilled, she's trustworthy, she's careful and she's experienced. What more can you ask for? I've been going to her for 10? 15? years, and continue to see her even though I moved to Lafayette and it takes me a little over an hour to drive to her salon. I'm sure there are other skin care specialists practicing here in the East Bay that are good. But Ellie is exceptional, and she's well worth...
Read moreEllie is a one in a MILLION aesthetician/facialist. She lives and breathes her work. She is absolutely committed to supporting a woman’s beauty and you’ll never get two Facial’s exactly the same. Ellie lives in the moment. “Let’s see what you need most TODAY” Her recommendations and applications are tinned into the needs of each client, and she is incredible! Unfortunately, I moved out of California two years ago, and I’ve been floundering around all kinds of different aestheticians, since I arrived here in Michigan. Nothing and I mean no one compares to the insight and the expertise of Ellie. My truth is that I never felt ever, Ellie didn’t look like at me as an individual, and affordable give me the care I needed on each visit, with 100% personal attention. My heartfelt advice, is at least make one appointment with her, go in and see...
Read moreI would like to leave a glowing review for “Skin Care by Ellie” ~ just a little while ago I had a fantastic Facial done by her & loved it! She was very great to work with from the moment on contacting her, making an appointment etc. The room is very spacious and lovely decorated and comfortable, and she has a very nice demeanor and appearance and did a great job with the facial, going above & beyond… answering questions that I had & also gave me a good skin consultation & what to do etc. also: Finding the place & Parking are also very easy..! (which is another huge plus for me, especially in this crazy Bay Area :-) I left her place & the facial, feeling at least 15 years younger! (and that for a while!) I will see her again very soon! Thank...
