Words cannot express how much I enjoyed my facial. Not only to my skin respond beautifully to the treatment, the products are all organic, which is incredible because a lot of products used to exfoliate and extract can be harsh. The Eminence Line is absolutely fabulous as it left my skin smooth and silky, which is what I needed as my sister was getting married the following weekend and wanted to look my best as her Matron of Honor.

In addition to the service, Shirley knows her stuff and she treats you like a long lost friend. I had been going through some personal issues at the time of my appointment and she just made me feel so much better inside and outside. Shirley's lab/treatment room is located in a boutique/co-op building with other small businesses and it's super easy to find.

The prices are comparable to most chain spas. However, this spa is a small business and is worth every penny because it's supporting an incredible woman who does incredible work. I'm looking forward to my next treatment which will be a peel. Can't wait to post the results!

I have been visiting Shirley at Stairway to Heaven spa for years now and it is always blissful, reviving, warm, and just incredibly amazing for my skin! Shirley uses a range of organic products with which she is intimately familiar, and she creates a little haven away from the world in which to bring out your absolutely best skin. The hand and lower leg messages during the masques are the cherry on top of the perfect facial cake!

Shirley is the only person who was able to help my skin clear up, and I've tried everything! She knows every detail about her organic products that she uses and how they affect your skin once applied. I definitely recommend :

I've been a client of Shirley's for years and she is an amazing aesthetician. I've had both peels and microdermabrasion, and they leave my skin clear and glowing. She takes skin care seriously and is very educated on the subject. She always makes sure to address any skin care concerns you may have. I highly recommend both Shirley and the Eminence skin care products she sells.

Shirley is so passionate about her craft and it shows in her treatments. I have been a client for over 15 years and would never go to anybody else. I have been getting chemical peel treatments due to uneven skin tone and age spots and can already see a visible difference after a couple of treatments. People think that I am 10 years younger (and I don't correct them). She is a great listener and will customize your treatment to address your concerns. I highly recommend Shirley!

One of my closest friends got me a facial for my birthday and at 43, getting my first, can't even just call it just a "facial" for it was an experience well beyond, including pressure point massages, education and use of amazing organic top notch fully organic products, on and on. Needless to say, Shirley named her spa well, for she is the angel bringing a true sense of self-care to those whom visit.

In case wondering about safety during the pandemic, Shirley wears a professional mask the whole time where elements can't transfer and she washes her hands constantly, communicaring the whole time for showing her accute awareness of what needs to get done.

My friends got me a facial as a bday gift because I had been wanting one for a while. My first experience with Shirley was amazing! Shirley is the best she makes you feel absolutely comfortable and is open to questions that way you can also learn how to care for your own skin. I wasn't expecting a leg, feet, and arm massage so it was a delightful surprise!

I'm still a client. I love Shirley. I've tried other esthticians and they just played with my skin for an hour. Shirley gets results. Now I'm on maintenance. I'll still have occasional breakouts during stressful periods and if I eat something that I'm allergic to, but overall my skin is healthy.

I went to Stairway to Heaven Spa for a facial because of the great Yelp reviews. I left very very happy, best facial ever. My husband even noticed a difference with my skin. Shirley is very knowledgeable about skin types, she will take her time to educate you on skin care and very reasonably priced. She won't push products on you. I would highly recommend Shirley. I already told my friends about her. She's a gem.

Shirley is an expert aesthetician. I found her Feb 2017 for my daughter who struggled with acne. She transformed my daughter's skin in a matter of a few weeks with microdermabrasian and these amazing peels. I began seeing her April 2018 and am really happy with the results of these peels that have changed the texture of my skin with zero downtime and minimal flakiness because of the after care products she sends you home with.

She also uses Eminence line of all natural, organic products, which has been around for over 50 years. She's very professional, gives you her undivided attention and isn't multi-tasking and appointment juggling. If you call and get her voice mail that means she's with a client, so, leave a message. Shirley really takes the time to personalize each facial and peel and she writes down the "protocol" of what was done each session. I can't recommend her enough.

Shirley is an amazing skin specialist I've known her for about three years and her facials never disappoint. The first facial I ever received from Shirley I realized I was in good hands because her consultation it was very long and detailed. Shirley takes the time to understand your skin needs and concerns. That is why you must check her out for a specialty facial customized and targeting all of your skin concerns. Thank You for the awesome experience Shirley.

Shirley is awesome at her craft! She is very knowledgeable and can thoroughly explain the reasons for why she makes the recommendations that she does. It really shows that she loves what she does. I highly recommend Shirley! I started going to her about a month before my wedding day because the stress was starting to show on my skin. I've always battle acne, but for the last couple of months it has been the worst that it has been for years.

I had scarring and what I thought was active breakouts. I went in for my first appointment/consultation and she was realistic with what we could achieve for my wedding day. She tailored her recommendation to my specific skin issues and her facials are so relaxing. I hadn't seen my skin so smooth before. My skin was glowing for days after the treatment.

For the first time in a while I was really excited about my skin and even more excited for what it could be for my wedding day. She made recommendations on what I could do for my daily routine to help maintain my "glow". She never pushed any products on me and only recommended them upon my inquiry. Stop hesitating and just book your facial!

Best chemical peel experience I've EVER had! Shirley works with your specific skin type and her own skin expertise to give glowing results. The whole experience was calming and relaxing. Her peels are gentle yet effective. My boss even told me when I came into work this morning that my skin looked "refreshed"! I've found my new skin care specialist!

As a trained aesthetician it has been difficult to find an aesthetician to meet my standards. Shirley is amazing! She takes the time to get to know your skin & how it responds. Every facial builds upon the last, creating great results. I am so thankful I found Shirley - she's knowledgeable, skilled, with an attention to detail that can't be beat (and the sweetest!).

Shirley has moved. She is now at Sola Salons on Lake. She has her own suite. You can park in the Tj Max parking lot for free. I have such confidence in her. I always have amazing results. I was having some bad skin issues the other day and called her to see if she could recommend anything. She called me back that night and had me come at 8 pm the next night after she was done with all her clients so she could take a look at my "crisis".

It was so nice of her to stay late and yes she did a quick treatment that helped me with my skin issues. Not only is she so knowledgable but she really does care about her clients. Thanks Shirley it really did help.

I've been coming here for nearly two years and have found Shirley to be the best. She's sweet, gentle, and thorough. More importantly, the breadth and depth of her knowledge of skin care is immense. Being an Asian male with terrible acne, she knows what treatment is right for my oily skin. Thanks to Shirley, I've had fewer breakouts, less black heads, my pores are less noticeable, and I actually look younger than my friends who are all in their early twenties (I'm in my thirties). Someone mentioned that I must have Benjamin Button disease lol. Don't be a cheapo, do your skin a favor, and go see Shirley. You won't regret it.

I must start this review by saying that I can only review Shirley as a person and not this business, but she has easily earned more than 5 stars in my book. I purchased a gift certificate here for my girlfriend with the intentions of sending her to a massage spa. My girlfriend pointed out to me that they don't offer massages and there wasn;t really anything at the spa she wanted.

I called Shirley to explain my situation, and Shirley not only did all she could to ensure my money was refunded, she made multiple attempts to be in touch with me to make sure that I wasn't dissatisfied. We had some connection issues, what with being on different coasts, but by the time we were able to talk, Shirley made it clear that what she wants more than anything is to treat someone as she'd want to be treated.

I can't speak for too many spas. I know most places are sticklers with gift certificates, usually situations like this end with "too bad, you should have done more research before you purchased" and it is so so SO refreshing to know there are people like Shirley out there who don't want you to be stuck paying for something you ultimately didn't want. Shirley and I were able to work everything out and she is just such a lovely person.

Her concern for my satisfaction was the primary focus of every conversation we had. So while I can't vouch for her services, I would recommend her to everyone based solely on the fact that she's the type of business owner that's becoming so increasingly rare, the one who ultimately cares more about her customer's satisfaction than anything. Hell, it's rare to see a PERSON like that, let alone one who owns a business.

So please, if you can take anything from my review, let it be the fact that Shirley is the type of person whom I would like to do business with, the type of person I think all people should do business with, and most of all the type of person who deserves your business. Thanks again Shirley! It means a lot to me that there are still good people like you out there.

Shirley is AMAZING. This review is long overdue, but I've finally got around to writing about not only the wonderful work she does, but also what a great human being she is. I've been to a LOT of dermatologists/skincare specialists, etc. and Shirley by far has been one of the most thorough and informative. Even when telling me about concepts I thought I already knew, she is willing and happy to explain the science behind your skin and how various chemicals work with your skin. I've received some peels from Shirley for acne/scarring, and each time she has explained step by step what is happening, while always checking at each juncture how I feel after the last application.

My skin has since improved, and I am continuing to work with her as funds allow : She is also aware of cost to her clients, and suggests ways to improve your skin without breaking the bank. She takes the time to truly explain everything in detail, and doesn't gloss over things to just get a point across. She makes herself available to her clients when they need her, and makes it clear that we can reach out to her if there are any issues with our followup skincare.

She is encouraging and authentic, and goes out of her way to make things work - she has worked with me to schedule last minute appointments, and since she knows I live about an hour away, she makes sure I get the most out of each visit. Above all, Shirley is a warm, bright, and giving spirit!

So I've been contacted by a few yelpers who are wondering if I still get peels. The answer is yes and I posted some pics to show how my skin has progressed. The prognosis on my skin is, I still get acne, but what you see is a huge difference between the bulging redness of my acne to now the very subtleness of the coloring and pigmentation on the skin. the nice thing is now, we don't do as many peels as often b/c of how effective the treatments have been from the past and I hardly wear coverup to disguise it b/c it goes away in a day or so. (APPLAUSE: THANK YOU SHIRLEY) Please note again, I'm not a model, these are not beauty shots and I cringe to take these painfully accurate pictures to show the results can go far after peel treatments. Enjoy my pain.
