I booked my package of massages with Ana at Annex. I tried using the website, which wasn't working. I had to call to book - no big deal. While the massages were ok (I was kind of stuck as I already paid for all 5 + tip) the professionalism was lacking. Pretty much EVERY appointment she was late by 7-15 minutes, she would be talking on her phone/texting, and wasn't wearing mask. I get being late a few minutes, but 4/5 times? Then the whole texting while working on clients is not professional. Ana is super nice, but I recommend working on professionalism, especially in the aesthetic industry where it should be a private experience. read more

The most unprofessional place I've been to in my years of going to massage therapy. Ana was late to the first appointment, which I understand -- traffic, life, obligations, that happens. I paid $145 for what was supposed to be a 45 minute to an hour lymphatic massage, but only received about 25 minutes of it because she was late to the appointment by about 20 minutes. In circumstances like that, I would think that a professional would either offer an amount off because I am paying by the time, or add the minutes that she was late to to make up for the cost. Nope, kept the same price, with time taken away because SHE was late. I should have sought another place at this point, but I like giving people the benefit of the doubt, and it might have just been that day. We all have bad days. I booked another appointment for the following week in the morning. I send a text message to her upon arriving at the agreed time, radio silence. After waiting for 10 minutes, I decide to call. She picks up and informs me that she won't be able to make it today and if I would like to book for tomorrow. She claimed she sent me a text message about this, but there was no text sent. She clearly received my message at our agreed upon time when I asked her on the phone if she got my message. Not showing up on time, then no communication with your client, and on top of that, lying to your client about communication are only three things that make her unprofessional. On top of this, she takes calls, texts while in the middle of a session. I've gotta say -- if I'm paying $145 for a session, I do expect to have your full attention as a service for the duration. If you want to waste your time, then go ahead and book an appointment with them, maybe you will have a better experience than me. I would never recommend this place to my friends or family members. read more

I hate writing bad reviews because initially I really liked going here due to Ana's flexibility. I get endermology with Ana and wood therapy with Patty. * Service: I'm giving 4 stars for wood therapy and 3 for endermology/cavitation * Professionalism: 2 stars - I understand she runs her own business so she needs to take calls but sometimes she'll have straight up conversations with people on the phone. I'm a laidback person so I let it slide but I can tell when she's distracted and/or texting because she'll leave the machine on one area. I find it incredibly unprofessional but never brought it up in fear of lower service. - I bought a package of 10 endermology sessions and asked Ana if I could substitute 2 sessions (valued at ~$120 each x2 = $240) for 3 wood therapy sessions ($80 each x3 = $240). Which means a total of 11 sessions. She said it was fine but when it came to the last 11th session, she stopped answering my calls and texts. I figured she may be on vacation but she can still text me back to say she's busy (See photo) TLDR: I think Ana is pretty knowledgeable and cares about her clients but she needs to work on her professionalism by not answering calls and texts while working on a client. Recommend wood therapy with Patty read more

Annex Aesthetics - 4/24 and still no reply... - Massage Therapy Near Me - San Jose, California

I'm writing this review under my sister's alias as I don't want people to think the review is fake if it's coming from a brand new account. Anyhow, I am so thankful to have found Shelia. Think of her place as a repair shop for the human body. Besides her extensive knowledge with LPG system and post surgeries care, she is genuinely the sweetest person. She takes her time to understand your needs: physical, emotional, or mental and then she would spend time to educate you to improve yourself as a whole. Therefore, her care is beyond physical. It's the overall wellness. Shelia gained herself a loyalist, me. And I highly recommend her to everyone. read more

She is so good she is like my therapist and masseuse in 1 she is lovely like I LOVE HER !! My waist is small compared to when I was 2 weeks post op. She also drained me when I had fluids she re-opened my incision and she is very SANITARY! read more

In November 2015, I had lipo in several areas of my body including my stomach, back, hips. I had my surgery in Miami and in Miami there are Port Surgical Care spas on every corner. In Northern California, without exaggeration there are almost NONE. During my 2 week stay, I received 8 lymphatic massages to help with fluids and healing, when I got home to CA, specifically San Jose, I searched high and low to find a port surgical care spa or specialist to help me. Dr.'s in Miami and other areas not only recommend, but require that you have some kind of aftercare to help with healing and so there is an abundance of trained people. For some reason in Northern Ca. there doesn't seem to be the same kind of mind set. Hence, supply and demand is lacking... In my research I found that LPG Endermologie will aid in your healing after surgery. I googled and searched Yelp and after searching high and low I found Sheila Ko of Beauty Einstein. After several weeks of being in pain and desperation, I made my first 90 minute appointment. Unfortunately, it was too late, I had Fibrosis in my stomach from the scar tissue and superficial damage of aggressive liposuction. The only way to get rid of this is Endermologie and very aggressive manual massage. I have had 5 treatments so far with Sheila and have seen a significant amount of improvement. I will require several more treatments and probably long term.. I plan on continuing my work with her even after I am 100% healed. Sheila has helped me learn new techniques to help with lightening and tightening my stretch marks as well. She has a background of working with Athletes for post injury care. It's important to work with someone who understands and is trained/certified in dealing with trauma to soft tissues if you are looking for post-surgical care. Understanding the biology and anatomy is a must. Sheila is not just a beauty specialist, she truly understands and has the experience with what your body needs to recover. She is a life saver! If you have had cosmetic surgery or are planning to, you MUST consider your after care for recovery and Sheila Ko is your lady! read more

Annex Aesthetics - LPG Endermologie Machine at Beauty Einstein- love this thing! - Massage Therapy Near Me - San Jose, California

I am so happy to have found this hidden gem. Honestly, there's not many medical salons like this in the Bay Area. I recently started working with Junko to sculpt my body in a completely non-invasive manner and to rejuvenate and tighten up my skin. I can't even explain how much I love this place and her. Junko is extremely sweet and caring. She takes customer service to the next level and that's because she is really passionate at what she does. She wants you to be overall healthy and happy. I've done lymphatic massages and several LPG Endermologie treatments with her. I feel so amazing after like completely relaxed and energized. Another thing I love is that they will customize a treatment plan for your personal needs and make sure you achieve the results you want. Another bonus is that they specialize in pre and post op care including liposuction, BBL, and tummy tucks. Surprisingly there aren't many around here as most offices focus on plastic surgery and not the after care. A lot of people don't understand how important post op care especially after such an invasive procedure. They will heal you and make sure to optimize your results. Besides the amazing Junko and incredible services, the prices are great. When I was looking for lymphatic massages, other offices charged $50 for only 20 minutes. Beauty Einstein charges $100 for 60 minutes. I highly recommend Beauty Einstein! read more

I have been getting my massage by Ana since the day I return back from Miami on June 12th. She is amazing with the lymphatic massages and I am addicted. I recommend two other girls as well and we love her. Highly recommended no where is better. She has a unique skill set. read more

Anna was so sweet and very knowledgeable I called her because I haven't a lymphatic massage since i left Miami from surgery and I had so much fluid and was super swollen she was the ONLY one that took me right away that same day ! She was very nice and knew what she was doing ! I felt extremely comfortable and felt even great after. I went back to her again & looking forward to going back to her for future massages! Thanks Anna Boo!!!!!!! read more

I have been coming here for over a month now and I have to say 5 star service. I received Lymphatic drain massages and LPG treatments. The customer service is more than exceptional. I starting coming for post op care after lipo and will continue follow up treatments once a week for the next months. I have already seen results on my abdomen!!!! read more

I recently had lipo and went to Junko for post lipo lymphatic massage. Most surgeons in this area don't recommend this after care but it was invaluable to my healing process. I'm 2 months post op and have no lumps or nodules left and no pain. Junko is professional and easy to talk to. The massage is super relaxing and she uses essential oils that smell sooo good. I'll still be returning to her just because the experience is so relaxing read more

Lovely experience with both Sheila and Junko. I have struggled with acne for 13 years and at present age 23, I still find myself fighting it. I am hoping to diminish my acne as well as smoothen my scars. Upon walking in, I was greeted with such genuine care about my skin and health that I would not doubt their work. I am another caterpillar wanting to blossom into a butterfly, and with their help, I know I'll get there. read more

I have been going to Shelia for several different services for over 3 years now. She is a California Licensed Esthetician. She is very knowledgeable in all aspects of Skin Care, Permanent makeup, Massage Therapy, LPG Endermologie and Lipo Massage, and Wellness. She has been in business since 2004 formerly known as Moi Day Spa. I had my eye brows tattooed. She shaped them perfectly. I love them. She does such a wonderful job. She takes her time and takes pride in her work. I also have had several LPG treatments. She always stays on top of the latest equipment and make sure that she has the proper training. She just came back from Florida where she was being trained on the new LPG machine she just purchased. Lucy is her name. You have to make an appointment for an LPG treatment so you can test out Lucy!!!!! You will not be disappointed. You Rock Sheila!!!!!!! read more

This place is a find. I had guy for 60 minutes of deep tissue for a pretty painful neck issue. I genuinely feel like a new man after it. Worth his weight in gold this guy. Thanks very much for everything and happy holidays to the crew! read more

She is just the best , I booked my appointment and she answers me right away I was in so much pain after a liposuction and she give me the best drainage massage , call them you won't be regret it. Thank you Son much for your help read more

I came here before my wedding for a body wrap to help with some bloating I was experiencing. Sheila was lovely and the room was nice and clean but that's where the positivity ended. I paid $75.00 for 45 minute body wrap which did absolutely nothing. It was a silver 'space suit' which simply squeezed me for 30 minutes (not 45 as I was told). Half way through when I realized this was a completely useless experience I questioned how this worked exactly. Sheila told me it burns fat from the inside out and when I was finished I would feel considerably lighter. I felt nothing. Don't waste your time and money here. read more

I have been seeing Sheila for over a year and she is wonderful, great body treatments and facials.

I came to Sheila after undergoing lipo. I came in two weeks post-op. My doctor had recommended a post lipo massage that would help reduce swelling and scarring under the surface of the liposuctioned areas. When I came in I was pleased with her eagerness to help me. She asked me about my goals and worked with me as this would take a few sessions to heal after lipo. She recommended the LPG Endermologie machine and told me her office had the newest model. I did some research and learned this was a good option for me. Within the first week I began to see bruising and fluid build up going away and the second week the swelling was gone. I also purchased Panex Ginseng from her to help me with the bruising throughout my body. I did a few sessions of infra slim wrap that helped more with the lymphatic drainage. Not only did each visit help the appearance of all areas it was incredibly relaxing. I definitely recommend to anyone who has recently had a procedure done. read more

I have been seeing Sheila for a few years now. She knows what she is doing when it comes to tailoring facials for your skin type. She is extremely knowledge about the products she uses and is always keeping up the newest ones and techniques out there. I feel like I always get the best when I see her. Her new location is a little farther drive for me but definitely worth it. I love the atmosphere of Willow Glen and her decor is very modern and clean. I always recommend her to anyone looking to for facials, massages or just all over body care. read more

I have known Sheila and Junko for over 2 years and love their professionalism, their knowledge about wellness and their compassion in dealing with everything in life. It's a pleasure and an honor to get services from them. Every time I walk out of their spa feeling healthier and more energetic after their massagee and the incredible new LPG machine. I play tennis a lot and play pain free only because of them. I wish them the very best in their new endeavor 'Beauty Einstein' and will continue to come to them always. - Sue Datta San Jose, CA read more

Junko was amazing. She is clearly passionate about what she does for a living and that comes through in her treatments. I did not go in planning to get a facial but she sold me on it and I'm so glad. She takes her time and the face, neck and shoulder massage is out of this world. I went in for Endermologie for nerve pain/pain relief and also out of curiosity:) It felt amazing and my pinched nerve pain is significantly better. It's definitely not cheap and I can't speak to any of the lofty claims regarding cellulite or whatever, but for pain relief and relaxation, I loved it. I'm usually cheap when it comes to facials and massage, etc, but Junko's treatments were so worth the cost! read more

Sheila is like one of your girlfriends. She is funny, listens to you, and gives you honest feedback. She knows what each person needs and strives to help you achieve the very best in health. She has done wonders for someone like me with hormonal issues and the endermologietreatments are great for getting rid of that toxic fat! Thank you Sheila! You are so sweet and kind hearted and you make it affordable for all of us "normal" every day women. read more

I have been doing LPG with Junko. LPG really helped me to reshape my body by targeting the areas that I could not improve with exercise and dieting. I have done LPG for my wedding and got a beach body for the honey moon. Seriously! It is incredible that in 30ies you can get a better body than you had in 20ies. I have done manual anti cellulite massages in the past and tried ultra sound. I found LPG the most effective than the hands one and more pleasant than the ultra sound. Besides LPG I really enjoy Junko and Sheila company. They are very genuine people. My mom and my husband have done facials with Sheila and both found her work very professional. In fact, my mom has very high standards for her facial. I also don't mind a drive from MV; I-280 has a picturesque view. It is my weekend girl's treat. read more

This is the first time I am leaving a review on Yelp because I want to share the amazing services I have received from Junko and Sheila. Under their care, I not only lost 16 lbs within one and a half months but also learned the skills to maintain healthy shape. Junko and Sheila are hands down my favorite estheticians who are very knowledgeable, professional and caring. Thank you, Beauty Einstein! read more

I just finished my second LPG endermologie treatment with junko and I am satisfied with the result so far. Junko is really friendly and professional. She knows what kind of treatment to use for solving the skin issues. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for treatments. read more
