NUBO SPA REVIEWS
Shiva has been my go-to person for all of my skincare needs for almost 4 years. I first met her at a different med spa in San Francisco where she made me feel welcomed, at ease, and valued. She listened attentively to my concerns and then used her artistry to produce natural results that went above and beyond my expectations. As another client mentioned so perfectly in a different review: "she takes your innate beauty and enhances it. You walk out looking like yourself, but the best version of yourself. When Shiva left the SF location, I made sure to follow her to Nubo Spa. Commuting from the city to Berkeley is inconvenient, but it's totally worth the effort just to see Shiva. As a highly skilled injector, she works quickly while ensuring there is minimal discomfort and no bruising. And her kindness and positive energy helps to make the experience special. Catching up with her is something I genuinely look forward to. I trust Shiva with all of my beauty needs and highly recommend her to anyone, especially those who may be apprehensive about injectables and fillers. She genuinely cares about her clients, stands by the quality of her work, and consistently produces incredible results that are well balanced and natural. I truly believe she is the best injector in the Bay Area.
This place is awesome! Shiva is true artist and perfectionist. You can tell she's really passionate about her job as she is giving you Botox or fillers. She has great energy and makes you feel comfortable and will address any needs you have. The office is welcoming and you will feel comfortable there. Jennifer is extremely helpful and professional! Highly recommend! 10 out of 10 service!!!
I have been visiting Nubo for about a year yesand I've never felt better about my appearance . Post office at once so welcoming and professional. The staff is at one so welcoming and professional and their work is top notch.

STUDIO ABASI REVIEWS
I would give a million stars if I could! This review is long overdue. I have been coming to Studio Abasi for over 10 years now and it has single handily been the best decision I’ve ever made for my skin. Shannon is a miracle worker, beyond skilled at what she does and the most knowledgeable person I’ve ever met about all different types of skin conditions. There really is no one else in the world that can do what she does and I have tried countless others before Studio Abasi. I started seeing Shannon in my mid-twenties for breakouts and she cured what no other specialist or dermatologist could. Now in my forties, I’m still seeing Shannon anytime I have skin issues, for anti-aging treatments, dehydration, hyperpigmentation…she has transformed my skin and my life. She genuinely cares about her clients and is always so gracious with her time anytime I have questions. She also develops and formulates her own products, and they are extremely high quality and more effective than any big name skincare brand. I never stray from her products and my only concern now is running out, so I always stock up. I would not trust anyone else with my skin and will be going to Studio Abasi for life! And a huge plus is that she also is the most amazing human being! Studio Abasi will truly transform your skin!
I've been coming to Studio Abasi for several years and highly recommend it. The owner Shannon is extremely knowledgable about skincare and cares about her clients. She takes the time to get to know your lifestyle because so many factors can impact your skin. She has been such a positive influence on my skin and I'm so thankful I found her!
I have been going to Studio Abasi since 2019. Once I moved to Bay Area from east coast, some reason I have got pimples all over my face. I tried so many skin care products to stop that but nothing works. At that time, one of my colleagues was a customer of Studio Abasi and she recommended me to try out. Yes it is little pricy and some products are expensive but I don’t dare to try out any other products in the market even they are reasonable prices. I prefer to keep using Studio Abasi’s products.

KINTSU MEDSPA & WELLNESS REVIEWS
Dr. Shay is the best! She always spends whatever time is needed to insure she understands my needs and concerns; all the while focusing on my long-term goals. Most other places were more about getting me out the door as soon as possible and not taking the time to provide quality work. They also provide the work on what they felt I should have and not what I am asking for. Dr. Shay listen but always spoke up if she felt I was making a mistake or asking for a service that was not needed. She honestly cares about her parents. I leave feeling satisfied and that I am the most important person in the world to her and her staff. - David D
I am so pleased with the care at Kintsu MedSpa that I had to leave a quick review! I've seen Dr Shay over the years at both beautiful locations, i.e. Davis and Berkeley, and have to praise her for her amazing skills and wonderful care! She always takes her time and pays attention to every detail. She is a true artist at aesthetics! She always makes me feel comfortable during any procedure and I almost never have any discomfort. Thank you Dr. Shay for making me age gracefully! I won't go anywhere else! - Gina H
The first time I met Dr. Shay, I knew there was going to be something different about the visits. I can not say enough kind things about being in an office of such caliber. The connection and understanding is top notch. Dr. Shay is definitely on another level and you can feel her connection and care as she speaks with you and helps you with your questions and really gets to know you. - Christine T
