Skin By Eleni

Such a great facial! Eleni has this aura about her that just makes you relax and feel like you’re in great hands (literally)! It was awesome– completely relaxing and the product felt great. What I loved was that Eleni was attentive to understanding how your skin felt (as our skin all reacts differently) and more importantly telling you what she was doing and why. I have good skin but learned some great tips to keep it looking great as I get older! Take the time and treat yourself!

Eleni makes me feel like I’m her only client… very special. I am pampered from the moment I walk in. Her facials feel so good that I want to make pleasure noises, but I know that’s frowned upon so I keep them to myself. Treat yourself… you’re worth it.

Eleni is the best — personality, service and heart. She is thorough and helpful and such a wonderful person. I’m a true convert to sugaring (vs waxing). When I want to treat myself, I book a facial which is she also great at! Helpful, sweet and such a good positive person.

I have been going to Eleni for years for sugaring. She is efficient, detail oriented and honest. I have actually moved to Vallejo and tried a local place but there is no comparison to Eleni so I commute to Lafayette for her services. I have actually asked about other services and she is honest to tell me I don’t need to do it or will give me sample of something to try at home before I purchase it. I absolutely adore her and will continue to drive from Vallejo to Lafayette to use her services.
PS. Sugaring is so much better than waxing. No bumps or ingrowns and Eleni is very affordable

I can’t comment on the services provide, because despite trying for over 2 weeks to make an appointment, I have been unable to get a return phone call.
I was sooooo excited to see someone closer to home who does sugaring. Previously I went into the city or fought the 80 traffic to get to Oakland. I stopped getting sugared because of the hassle. So I turned to Unilocal!to see if I could find someone closer. I was thrilled to see someone with such high reviews in a more convenient location. I called on a Monday and left a voice mail. I hadn’t heard back by Wednesday, so I left a message on Wednesday. When I still hadn’t heard back 9 days later I left a very polite message on the following Friday saying I had left a couple of messages and hadn’t heard back but that I would really like to make an appointment. It is now 5 days after that phone call and still no contact.
I realize that this business is probably a one woman show, but it is inexcusable for a small business to not return a phone call in over 2 weeks. Her business must be doing so well that she doesn’t need new clients. I would still like to try out Eleni’s services and be able to write a review for them, but I’m not holding my breath waiting for my call to be returned.

yeah yeah the sugaring is amazing, but lets talk about the facial!!! My GAWD! I am healed inside and out from the exfoliating mask, the forever long massage… my arms, my hands, my face and decolatage. I was in a total state of Nirvana for days after… Matt is the luckiest man alive

I absolutely LOVE Eleni! I have been going to her for about 2 years now and am truly faithful to her. She is very knowledgable in sugaring and skincare and in my opinion, sugaring works way better. It leaves your skin softer than regular waxing and for me is a tad less painful too. She also introduced me to dermalogica (which I now swear by!) and uses their product for facials which are absolute heaven! I get facials from her every 6 months or so and it’s very refreshing and relaxing. Eleni makes my skin glow everytime! She’s the best!

Why doesn’t every woman in the world know about sugaring?!? I am so glad I found Eleni and this amazing hair removal technique. I will never go back to waxing ever again!
I have to admit, I was a little skeptical about sugaring because I couldn’t imagine how the technique worked. When I met Eleni, she answered my questions, took me through the process and we had a brief conversation about my hair removal needs. Eleni made it clear that she would work with me and that we could remove as much or as little hair as I wanted. Once I understood the process, I was still a little skeptical about how exact the hair removal could be. Let me just say, Eleni is like a surgeon! A precise surgeon who made sure I was perfectly groomed and coiffed. Eleni and the sugaring technique are both very gentle. I won’t lie and say it was painless, but compared to waxing, Eleni might as well have been brushing my skin with fluffy bunnies! I was thrilled with my visit to Eleni and I will be returning for… ever.
Eleni’s salon is classy and comfortable. She’s got an easy-​to-​find location with a parking lot and street parking. After my sugaring, Eleni gave me a quick skin consult which I really appreciated. While she mentioned her more upscale products, she also suggested some OTC options from my local drugstore. I appreciated the choices. I highly recommend Skin by Eleni. Visit her and see for yourself!

I discovered sugar waxing when I was living in Houston. I went to this wonderful Persian lady and instantly was a fan of this technique. To my dismay, when I moved to the Bay Area I found it difficult to find anyone who does sugaring. Fortunately, I found Eleni and all her reviewers raved about her. The location was a little difficult to spot at first especially since I never travel to Lafayette but once I got there I was very impressed. It’s small but quaint and very clean. Eleni was not only very professional but she has a wonderful positive energy. The trip was well worthit and I’ll be returning soon for more treatments:)

I was referred to Eleni by one of my fabulous diva friends who swore on the who «sugaring» technique. She said that I HAD to go to Eleni. I did and I will try no other treatment! There was little discomfort and pain and she was very thorough about explaining the process. She was also very knowledgeable and helpful on facial products and I love the daily exfoliant she recommended.
You want to look great and be sexy? Eleni is the best!

Eleni is FABULOUS! wonderful to spend time with, and so fun you forget she’s ripping your hair out… sugaring is SO much better than waxing. doesn’t leave your skin a burnt mess, and is just all around gentler.
Love seeing Eleni :)

This place is amazing! I regularly receive facials from Eleni and the treatments are always exceptional. The skin spa is beautiful, clean, and very relaxing. I not only felt great but I looked fabulous as well. Post-​facial people always comment on how good my skin looks!
In addition to providing a fantastic service Eleni also recommends great at home care. I love all of the products that she suggested and thought they were very reasonably priced.
I can’t wait for my next appointment and highly recommend that you check out Eleni for any of your future skin care needs!

Eleni provides excellent service as well as phenomenal results. She definitely shows passion and dedication to her work. From the moment I met her I felt like I’ve known her for years! She’s very personable, professional and super lovable. I would definitely consider her a «go to» person for all your skin care and sugaring needs.
I personally go to Eleni for sugaring, and I’m Hooked! The sugaring process is fast and barable! My hairs grow out thinner and as the hair grows out there is absolutely no ingrowns, no irritations which equals a happy ME!
Eleni if you ever read this, you have such a warm contagious spirit! Thank you for taking good care of me as a client and for showing that you care! You’re great!

I honestly can’t stop saying good things about Eleni. I wish I could carry her in my pocket at all times and she would seriously fix any hair or blemish that was out whack before I even noticed.
Have you ever meet a person who really loves their job… the ones that almost make you forget that they are ripping the hairs from your pores… well that’s Eleni.
I just went to her new shop and I absolutely loved it. It just feel so cute and warm, just like Eleni.
I know I sound over the top but Eleni accomplished the impossible the other day… she made my mother a very happy customer. For that I wish I could give her an extra star. After Eleni finished my mother’s eyebrows she had to go to the car and put on make up.
Really do I need to say more… except thanks Eleni.
