In Short – White walls and medical equipment lend a sterile vibe to this tiny office suite outfitted with two reclining tables. First-time clients receive a free, no-nonsense skin analysis to target individual issues, such as aging and acne, as well as advice on problems with diet, lifestyle and medications. Facials are customized accordingly and then followed by an invigorating combination of Russian-shiatsu massage with essential oils. Regulars return for Brazilian bikini waxes and eyebrow shaping.

Amazing Results
by pamelacc at Citysearch
I went to Alexandra for a chemical peel treatment and it was amazing. My pores are cleaner and smaller and my skin looks clearer and brighter. I love it. She was very knowledgeable and would take the time to answer any questions. Plus, I felt refreshed every time I left because it was so relaxing, I would take an hour nap everytime I was there. I highly recommend seeing Alexandra.

from nyc to sf: alexandra rules!
by rebelicious at Citysearch
alexandra set the standard for brazillian waxing for me before I moved from the bay area to new york city. i've searched up and down manhattan (and brooklyn) and have not found any a better treatment than alexandra's. alexandra is thorough yet gentle, personable yet professional. she uses best wax at the right temperature--other places use stuff that not only irritated my not-so-sensitive skin, but failed to leave the same supple softness of what alexandra uses. i've already booked my next appointment for when i back in the bay area for xmas time. east or west, alexandra is best!
- Pros: numbing spray available!

Very nice for skin ..
by kcolin at Citysearch
I have been going to Advance Skin Care Clinic since when I was 16 and have always LOVED the results of its treatment. The clinic is very comfortable and the rooms are super relaxing. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming. The only reason I am giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is becuase the scheduling/answering service is not good. i don't remember it being like this when I in first time, but they must have improved the schedulers becuase when you call to make an appoinment, it's like you are speaking to someone in another country. I really think that they really improved the scheduling service, but other than their negative points, everything else about the clinic is FABULOUS!

small salon, but great result!
by kefiraG at Citysearch
I love Alexandra's facial! She is not just great, but fantastic. Now she started to give new Oxygen Treatment. I highly recommend it! After 15 minutes of treatment you look 10 years younger. I am serious. I also did not believe at the beginning and was very skeptical. But after the treatment I looked into mirror and did not recognize myself - my chin line was firm , my pores disappeared. She is my beautician for the last 6 years and I will never change her, although it takes me a long time to get to downtown San Francisco from East Bay. I already recommended her to all my girlfriends and each of them loved it and thanked me for her.
- Pros: great price
- Cons: expensive parking

Shhhh! Best kept secret
by alayazvezda at Citysearch
I've known Alexandra for the last ten years. My best friend recommended her and I have not had a better facial from anyone else. She is very thorough, professional and knowledgeable! Alexandra really takes time to care for my skin and provides an overall excellent service! She is one of the best kept secrets!
