If you were a teenager in the mid-90s, you know the power of a good makeover. I'm talking about those carefree days when your best friend would bring over her Caboodle filled with the essentials: Lip Smackers in every flavor, a bottle of Sun In and that dark wetN wild nail polish that you definitely weren't supposed to use but you applied it at school so your mom would never know (hands in pockets when you got home!). You'd spend hours trying to get the perfect crimped hair with those tiny irons, hoping to replicate the styles you saw on MTV or in the latest Tiger Beat magazine. Let's not forget the Jordana lipstick - You'd carefully apply the classic dark brown of the 90's (matching Jordana lipliner required!) and you felt unstoppable. Your confidence soared because for that moment, you felt so BOSS. You loved how you felt and knew that people not only appreciated your style, but everyone saw exactly who you were. That feeling - the thrill of being transformed and truly seen - is exactly what it's like to walk into Nurse Shirley's practice at BotoxxCafe. Before Nurse Shirley, I'd been to a couple injectors with mixed results--some okay, some that left me questioning my life choices, and with more regret than the time I didn't get that double piercing at Claire's. I went looking for someone with skill, not someone selling Instagram lips and one-size-fits-all fillers. A colleague introduced me to Nurse Shirley, and I was so pleased to meet a woman who knows her craft so well, who listens so closely, and who cares so deeply. This isn't some cookie-cutter medspa churning out the same overdone look on every client. She didn't just fix the problem - she also educated and advised me on how to address the issues with the other injector to get my money back! I knew immediately that This. Is. My. Face. Person. My ride-or-die. My injector soulmate. But Nurse Shirley isn't just an injector. She's a masterful blend of artist, clinician, and compassionate care provider, with over 20 years of nursing experience backing her expertise, and it shows in everything she does. From the moment I sit down, she explains every single injection she plans to do, ensuring I understand exactly what's happening, why it's necessary, and what results I can expect. She understands facial anatomy in a way that's nothing short of impressive, and her approach is always tailored specifically to me. She's all about informed consent, patient comfort, and never rushing a treatment. She doesn't just look at you and say, "Sure, let's do all the things you want!" No. She sits down with you, actively listens to your concerns, studies your features like there's going to be an AP exam next week and your face is the subject. She tells you honestly what's actually going to work for your face. And yes, sometimes that means gently talking you out of the thing you think you want (raise your hand if you think you need 200 units of Botox) because they may be unnecessary or there are safer more cost effective methods that can give you the same results you desire. Her treatment room is beautiful, clean, and soothing (I'm a Virgo, and yes, I notice these things). The energy is calm, the space is spotless, and it's clear she's highly dedicated to maintaining both cleanliness and comfort. The professionalism she brings is matched only by her warmth and kindness. I've been going to her for years now for multiple services and every single time I walk out feeling like the best version of my refreshed self. I relocated from the Bay Area to Vegas and I still fly back regularly because she is the only person I will let shoot my face up (ba dum tss). Nurse Shirley is not just an injector--she is a facial strategist; the grown-up version of that perfect 90s makeover, personified. Just like that one perfect jacket you scored at Wet Seal back in the day that somehow made every outfit hit... that's Nurse Shirley. But for your face. And your spirit. Five lifted stars! read more

Amazing! I saw Nurse Shirley as a new patient for a Botox refresher on my forehead '11's' and lip flip after having done previous treatments with my regular derm doctor for years - I'm a convert to BotoxxCafe! I've also suffered from painful TMJ symptoms for years, I've tried a number of things unsuccessfully or that only provided temp relief, and had heard that Botox could help. Nurse Shirley asked about my aesthetic goals as well as my TMJ symptoms and discussed how Botox could help with the chronic pain. She was knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable that she knows exactly what she's doing - very detail-oriented in prep, marking spots with a pen, checking again, showing you the vials she's using, explaining along the way - all great practices. For the face Botox, she didn't try to upsell me on more treatment areas or recommend a higher volume of product; rather she really listens to her clients and offers a 'less is more' philosophy, focusing on how just the right amounts in just the right spots can help keep you looking like the natural, younger (read: normal, but better) you. I'm extremely pleased with my results - no plastic-fantastic RHOLG here, and that's a good thing ;-) I also tried the Botox for my TMJ and am SO glad I did, I can't believe I waited so long! Within a week my pain had noticeably decreased, within 3 weeks, almost entirely gone. It's been over 4 months and I'm still pain free. If you are suffering from TMJ and all the dentistry, braces, nightguards, biofeedback, massage, meds, etc., etc., etc., hasn't helped, look into Botox - it just might. I highly recommend Nurse Shirley and will definitely be back. read more

Initially, I was hesitant about PRP treatment and its potential effectiveness for my thinning crown. However, after my first session with Shirley, she was incredibly transparent about the PRP hair treatment, its effects, and the expected outcomes. She also disclosed her cost and refrained from unnecessary treatments if the results weren't promising. Her honesty and genuine care throughout each visit were truly appreciated. My results started to show after two treatments, although the extent of improvement varies from person to person. So far, I'm very happy with my results (after three treatments) and plan to complete up to six treatments in total. Shirley will monitor my progress and make recommendations for each session. While there may be some discomfort during the treatment (as the needle usage is minimized), Shirley goes above and beyond to alleviate it. Don't hesitate to ask for her squishy gorilla! I highly recommend Shirley if you're considering PRP treatment to help restore your hair. read more

I had been having issues with night time teeth clenching despite wearing a night guard. I decided to give botox a try to manage TMJ. I'd researched reputable botox providers in Santa Clara and BotoxxCafe was rated 5*. Appointment and reminders were prompt and my initial consultation with nurse Shirley was amazing! Shirley spent nearly 30 minutes assessing my TMJ condition and answered all my concerns about botox. I decided to try just the lowest dosage of 15 on each masseter area...pain relief in seconds! i could hear the tight muscles popping upon injection. Shirley also provided me a receipt for insurance claim in case i needed it. Not sure if Blue CA will honor, but we'll see. Follow up appointment after 3 weeks went smoothly. I've been migraine and pain free in the past 17 days post TMJ botox treatment. Thank you, Shirley doe helping me manage my TMJ. I'll still wear my night guard as I know root cause is stress management. read more

I can't express enough how grateful I am for the exceptional care I received during my hair PRP treatment. She went above and beyond, returning my phone call on a Sunday afternoon and fitting me into her schedule on Monday. The stress of losing hair was overwhelming, and her prompt response was a huge relief. Her kindness didn't stop there. She took the time to prepare me over the phone, explaining all the necessary precautions and pre-steps for the PRP treatment. Her expertise and genuine concern for my well-being were evident from the start. Following her advice, I've been diligently doing PRP, microneedling, Nutrafol, and oiling. This regimen has finally stopped my hair loss, and I'm thrilled to see lots of baby hairs growing. Her dedication and knowledge have made a world of difference for me. She is truly one of the best, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone struggling with hair loss. read more

I recently went to get Botox for the first time without knowing much about the process. My goal was to achieve a slimmer face and enhance my jawline. Shirley was incredible from start to finish. She patiently explained the entire process and recommended a combination of chin and cheek fillers, as well as TMJ and chin Botox. I was really nervous, but Shirley made sure I felt comfortable throughout the injections. She's so sweet and attentive, always checking in to ensure I was doing okay. I really appreciated that she takes her time and never rushes through appointments. She would schedule follow-ups to make sure everything was looking and feeling great, which shows how much she cares about her clients. I'm absolutely thrilled with the results and couldn't be happier with my experience. Highly recommend Shirley if you're considering Botox or fillers! read more

I recently purchased PCA Skin products from BotoxxCafe, and I am beyond impressed! Shirley was incredibly kind and generous--along with my purchase, she gave me additional PCA, Derma Made, and sunscreen samples to try. I also bought a Derma Made product using a BotoxxCafe coupon, which was such a great bonus. Within 3 days, I noticed my skin looking noticeably brighter. Today marks 5 days of using these products consistently, and I can already see my acne scars lightening and my blemishes clearing up. The key is definitely sticking to the routine, but what really makes the difference is Shirley's guidance. Her encouragement, knowledge, and genuine care make me want to follow her advice and stay committed. I'm excited to continue this skincare journey and can't wait to get more products from her. Cheers to BotoxxCafe and to glowing skin! read more

Never thought I'd be the type to get anything done, but I was starting to look tired all the time--dark circles, flat cheeks, weak jawline, thinning hair... the whole deal. I checked out BotoxxCafe and honestly, the experience was way better than I expected. Nothing crazy--just subtle changes that made me look more awake and put-together. The injector and team were chill, professional, and knew exactly how to keep things looking natural. We did some cheek and chin filler to bring back structure, PRP under my eyes to help with the dark circles, and I started hair restoration treatments too noticed some thinning on the top of my head. People keep saying I look well-rested or like I've lost weight, but no one can tell what I did. That's the best part. If you're a guy thinking about it do it. These ladies know what they're doing. read more

I've come into the Cafe for Botox three times now and after the great care I received again from Shirley today, this positIve review is overdue. Each time I've come in, it's been for Botox rejuvenation prior to a family event/reunion and Shirley has not let me down! Prior to coming here, I went to another clinic where I did not get results and felt I wasn't getting what I paid for. Today, I really appreciated the difference. For example, even though I was sitting right next to Shirley, as a matter of honest practices and principle, she showed me the bottle of product to verify before injection just as she's done previously. I like that she doesn't take anything for granted. She explains information, answers questions, is professional, kind and genuinely sincere. I'll see you again. Thank you Shirley! Manny read more

I came to BotoxxCafe because I've been dealing with serious TMJ pain and jaw clenching for a while. My jaw was always tight, I'd wake up with headaches, and my dentist even mentioned wear on my teeth from grinding. I was honestly a little skeptical about Botox for this, but the team here really knows their stuff. The whole vibe was chill and professional -- not intimidating like I expected. They explained everything in plain terms and made sure I'd still look natural (no frozen face). Within a week, I noticed the tension in my jaw started easing up. Now I can actually relax my face and my headaches are almost gone. As a bonus, my jawline even looks a bit more defined. If you're a guy dealing with jaw pain or clenching, don't sleep on this. These results are legit -- I wish I'd done it sooner. read more

They take the time to listen to your concerns, explain every treatment, and make sure you feel comfortable from start to finish. My Botox results look natural, refreshed, and exactly what I was hoping for. The office is beautiful, spotless, and has a relaxing atmosphere. It's clear they genuinely care about their patients and the quality of their work.

Great service, honest recommendations, and consistently amazing results. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending them to friends and family! read more

I had such a good experience at BotoxxCafe! The spa is super clean and relaxing. What I really liked was how carefully they mapped out my face before doing anything.

I still look like myself, just more refreshed and put together. Definitely recommend if you want someone who really knows what they're doing and takes their time. read more
