    Alexandra's Muse formerly known as The Fix Berkeley
    Nina Z.

    Formerly known as The Fix Berkeley, Alexandra's Muse is now open for facials and waxing services. I've been going to Alex for my facials now for over three years. Prepare to be pampered and experience a facial that is truly one-of-a-kind and made just for you using high quality skin products. Alex is so easy to talk to, sensitive, and calming to be around. I really feel at ease and relaxed. Her facials even include a head, arm, and leg massage! Rather than repeating what has already been said before, you can check out my review of Alex at: https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-fix-berkeley-berkeley?hrid=RV2vNrUzyaVSGnzsTfn0Zg&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) To accommodate for COVID-19, she is limiting the number of clients she is seeing per day, cleaning between clients, and wearing a mask throughout the facial sessions. I've already got my next appointment booked. Until then!

    So relaxing and comforting. It's been a long year, and I wanted a facial in the East Bay (Berkeley/Oakland area) without driving into the city. I had a beautiful crystal facial and Alexandra used really lightly scented, natural products on me - rose and oils, cooling gems/crystals. She has a nice, clean space and made me feel safe regarding COVID since no other guests were there and she was very cautious. She worked on my skin delicately and I was really impressed by her skills with facial massage. I also loved that the bed was heated and kept me warm. All in all a wonderful experience. I'll definitely be back!

    Absolutely love this spa! As a teenage girl going to get waxed was very intimidating and scary but alexandra made it a very calm and comfortable experience. Not only are waxed amazing but so are the facials. I suffer with acne prone skin and this felt so soothing and had me glowing. Jelly mask is AMAZE! The cozy atmosphere made the space feel so welcoming and warm. She did an amazing job and my skin feels so soft this is now my new regular!

    Shymell is amazing!!…read more I briefly used to go here at their old location on Telegraph above the tattoo parlor and the attention to detail/comfort and customer service has not only stayed true since then, but has gotten even better! The entire place looks and smells like a spa. Symone is so kind and her smile is super contagious. I went to EWC across the st. to start the Brazilian process again because it was cheaper but immediately regretted it. I promise you, the prices here are so worth it considering my sensitive skin always leaves feeling calmed and renewed after my wax- something that is so rare at every other waxing place I've gone to EVER. I've never experienced any skin issue during after care or long after the wax since they only use the cleanest ingredients and their estheticians are really skilled. I booked an extended Brazilian about 4ish months ago and randomly got assigned Shymell and I'm so glad I did. She's super gentle and makes me feel so comfortable which is crucial for this type of wax. It feels like we've known each other for so long! She tracks how my skin/hair are doing and is now very knowledgable about my skin/hair profile after only a handful of sessions. Also love that they kept the art on the ceiling- so empowering! I don't usually write a long review or review at all but felt the need to share how awesome this place and Shymell are.

    Amazing experience here, would highly recommend! This place is clean, it's welcoming, and all of…read morethe staff are very knowledgeable! I really appreciate the divine feminine/spiritual vibe throughout the waxing center. I will definitely become a permanent client here . My first Brazilian wax and Vida made it me feel very comfortable. She's the best!!!

    I came here many moons ago when they had a yelp event. I have tried some of their products and by…read morefar one of my favorites will always be the brightening serum. I have now ordered it a couple times, and it's never a fail. I can't wait to try some of their other products and services - and will definitely come back. The vibe is very clean and crisp, and there are several treatments room throughout. Also, the reception area is spacious.

    I booked a 45-min back treatment with Shannon, and the experience could not be even more perfect…read more The spa/clinic was light-filled with minimal aesthetics. Luckily their location was not terrible to find, as there was ample street parking. When I walked in, the warm and friendly receptionist greeted and made me feel right at home. Throughout my visit, Shannon shared me with her wealth of knowledge of the various AHAs as well as retinoid products. I love that we were able to geek out on which products to use to achieve brightening effects. She also made some recommendations based on my skin type such as mandelic acid instead of glycolic acid for gentle exfoliation. Without trying to oversell me her products, she suggested that I try over-the-counter Nizoral antifungal wash for possible white-heads that pop up occasionally as well as prescription tretinoin since I had a few hyperpigmented spots that I wanted to fade/brighten. Given it was my first time there, she did allow me to use my credit card to pay but informed me that she only accepted cash or checks to help keep operating costs down. Since my back issues were minor based on her assessment, I did not schedule a return visit. I so very much appreciate her sound and scientifically backed advice (I also follow various certified dermatologists on IG for general aging skin care maintenance); I definitely will be making a visit if future skin issues arrive!

    There's a reason this place has such high reviews. Everyone here is experienced, professional, and…read morethey go the extra mile. I've had filler once, Botox once, and two RF microneedling sessions and it's like the technicians are OCD. Three full passes, every patch of skin is covered, and the results are the best I've had. They give you time to numb, and they do a great job distracting you from the discomfort if you do decide to go for a more intense setting. Also, really helpful with the GLP, clear labeling on each syringe, and easy FaceTime with the doctor. I've never had to wait past an appointment time and there's always parking. Really grateful I found this spot. Note: Sheila did the rf microneedling if you end up scheduling that service. I normally have some white spots but after the service with her my entire face is covered and it shows in the results.

    I booked a consultation with Dr. Shay with the intent to purchase a skin treatment package since…read morethe $200 consultation fee can go towards the treatments. The interior of the medspa is clean, minimal, and thoughtfully designed. The consultation was pretty short and confirmed what treatment I was looking for. I felt uncomfortable about the various treatment and product recommendations because I didn't feel like I had a say in what I wanted to opt in or out of. Dr. Shay informed me that a package of 5 was recommended (since packages are usually at a discount vs individual) and that it is typically $950/session for the face, but that she would honor the 5-package sessions to use for my arms as well. When I was walked back up to the front desk, I was quoted a different (higher) price for the package. I wish there was more communication between the staff because I definitely felt cheated. I was ready to purchase the package of 5 as quoted by Dr. Shay, but after hearing the discrepancies I felt hesitant to commit to Kintsu for so many sessions and opted to purchase just a single session which I used the next day instead. Additionally, a skincare product box set was brought up to the front as if I was going to purchase it when in fact I never agreed to it. Thankfully the ladies respected my decision and didn't try to push the product, although I did feel like I was being judged in the moment. I was also recommended a facial which I was not interested in and again felt like I was cornered into purchasing. The day of my treatment went much better, but could still use some improvements. It would've also been nice to have a clock in the room where the prep was done. I was sitting in there for what felt like ages and didn't want to move around too much reaching for my phone. The treatment itself felt pretty straightforward and the nurse had a calm demeanor which was appreciated. I couldn't remember what the aftercare instructions were, so a post-treatment care sheet would've been helpful. The nurse also said she would give me an ice pack afterwards to help sooth my skin, but I wasn't given one and just went up to the front to pay - oh well, no biggie but sometimes the details are what makes the clients feel appreciated and coming back. Overall, I wouldn't be opposed to coming back here if I wanted the convenience of going somewhere close by. The treatment itself was fine, but just be aware that products and services may be pushed on you and to just be firm about what your focus is.
