Jeska is an incredible esthetician. Her knowledge of skin care and relaxing vibe create a wonderful experience. Her studio is elegant and welcoming which compliments her professional and friendly approach to the craft. I highly recommend Jeska if you have never had a facial before and are curious, or if you are looking for an experienced professional to take your skin care to the next level. She is gentle and knowledgeable, making more involved treatments like peels and microderm accessible to those who might be hesitant. She has several quality, natural product lines available in her studio which she is great at talking you through. Just go see Jeska! read more

What a wonderful experience! She has a great little studio set up with a private room for facials and larger room displaying all the products for sale - which she doesn't "push" on you. Everything is so relaxing and she is AMAZING! I'm going to book a facial for every month because I owe it to myself! I could see the results after just 1 visit which was a very pleasant surprise. She's not only very knowledgeable but has excellent up-to-date equipment. I come from the bay area but it's worth the drive. I highly recommend Neptune and will be referring my friends to her too. Thank you Jeska! read more

Jeska is an outstanding aesthetician!!! I've been seeing her for about five or six years, but took a break during Covid. I just went back for a peel and it was magic. It took years of shmutz off my face and I look significantly more youthful and fresh faced. It was a great-reset, restoring my confidence. She really knows what she's doing and she takes great care in her work. She cares about the outcome of her services. Her skincare products are delicious. Jeska is a gem. read more

Jeska was fabulous! Clean and serene atmosphere. I was so relaxed, I felt like I was getting a massage. She is very gentle and extremely knowledgeable and thorough of the skin. Jeska also loves to share her knowledge with you. I learned so much in our session. My skin was dull and now it's glowing. Extremely satisfied with the results. read more

If I could give 6 stars I would. Jeska is the absolute best. She is very knowledgeable about skin care, carries the best products, and is really a fun person to be around. She makes you feel at home every time you see her, and taylor's a custom skin care plan for your specific needs. Jeska only uses the highest quality natural products that are gentle on your skin. She is an expert in being aware of what combinations of certain beneficial products do to skin, and can essentially make sure you get the results you want. You will not be disappointed, if you live in the Bay Area and want to take care of your skin naturally go to Neptune Skin Care! read more

Jeska is amazing!!! She has been helping me with my finicky skin for almost 10 years. Jeska is extremely knowledgeable about skin. I have never received a "cookie-cutter" facial from her ever! Jeska listens, observes, and gives my skin what it needs. She explains each step of her facials and checks in to see how I'm feeling along the way. I so appreciate her intuitive approach and trust her implicitly. Jeska's selection of products is curated carefully. I use many of them. She has helped me create a skincare plan to deal successfully with a variety of issues that come up with my sensitive, aging, often dehydrated, and acne prone skin. Jeska's studio is a beautiful, relaxing, and calm space. A facial from Jeska is a necessary part of my monthly self-care routine. She's the best. read more

What a pro! Jeska recently gave me a pineapple enzyme and microdermabrasion treatment. It was incredible. My skin has never felt so splendid! Immediately when you walk in she makes you fell welcome and at ease. The beautifully designed space is a clean and relaxing environment. During the facial she explained each step, including the products she uses. It was informative and helped me understand the purpose specifically for my skin type and issues. She uses organic products and technologies to enhance the treatment. Throughout the treatment she would also ask me about how my skin was responding to the products, to make sure I wasn't having a negative reaction. I left feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. And a week later my skin still feels amazing! She also gives great upkeep advice that works for when you're on a budget. read more

I saw Jeska on a regular basis for five years. During that time, my skin never looked better - despite aging into my late 30s! The facials are relaxing, and I always leave feeling rejuvenated. Even though I've moved across the country, I still book facials with Jeska when I visit California, Jeska also sells the amazing products she uses, but she is not at all pushy about products. When I first started visiting Neptune, I was reluctant to buy a lot of new skin products. I really appreciated that Jeska didn't turn my appointments into sales sessions. Eventually, the high quality of the products and the transformation of my skin spoke for itself, and I slowly purchased many of the products she uses. As a vegan, I also appreciate that many of her products are vegan-friendly! read more

Jeska has a rare talent to combine her personal-challenge-like-zeal in making your skin the best it can be with her intuitive and gentle touch to give you a comfortable and relaxing experience. She uses great products (been using her suggestions with confidence and satisfaction for many years now), provides a beautiful, intimate space and is an absolute professional. I used to be a 'facial junkie' but stopped when my favorite esthetician retired. It was years before I tried Jeska out of desperation (she was at a different place) and was rewarded with a facial beyond my wildest dreams. Haven't looked back - a regular client now and so happy she has her own place at Neptune! Try her. You won't be disappointed! read more

Jeska is the best esthetician I have ever been to, and she is so good that I keep going back. Usually after a facial I *intend* to return, sort of like I intended to go to the gym tonight. But I've been a steady client of Jeska's for almost two years because she delivers the most amazing facials. My skin looks and feels healthier than it ever has and I so wish I'd had the sense to see Jeska when I was 23 (but she probably wasn't even born then...) Jeska is an artist. read more

A facial with Jeska is worth a cross-country flight. Seriously. Whenever I am visiting the East Bay, I always try to find time to stop by Neptune Skin Care to have a facial and get my eyebrows tamed, simply because I have not found anyone in Brooklyn (or NYC) who can compete with Jeska. It's the perfect way to recharge my skin after enduring the Polar Vortex of the East Coast; the décor is calming, the complimentary tea and snacks are delicious, and the waxing is near-painless. Jeska not only has great recommendations for products, but is super knowledgable about skin health and how to maintain my Neptune-glow once I go back home. Last time I went, I was worried about my plane ride to NYC the next day drying out my skin, so she gave me a sample of a hydrating mask that I could put on when I got home. I can't wait for my next trip! read more

Jeska is the best. I don't mean that in that, "isn't my cat just THE BEST?!" kind of way, I mean, I've been to a lot of estheticians, and Jeska. is. the. Best. I first started seeing her at Soothe in SF. When she went exclusive at Skin & Tonic, I faithfully crossed the Bay at least monthly to see her (and I would be remiss not to mention that London and Ellen, respectively are also totally fantastic). Now, she has her own place and I'm so excited for her! Jeska has years of experience, is fun as hell, and she knows your skin and folicles. Even though her facials are specific, none of them are one size fits all. She will blend her products to make the perfect concoction for you, varied by season and what's going on with your skin recently. If you're in for a wax, she'll give you exactly the shape you want, and pluck those damn outliers. Can you call someone a wax artist? Well, Jeska is. She checks in, lets you know what she's doing if you're curious (I always am), and truly enjoys what she does. She uses top of the line products that she researches in depth but will NEVER hard sell, & I trust her completely. I've been out of the area about 6 months & I really see the difference she was making in my skin. Soon as I get back, look out! You'll have to get past me to her calendar. read more

I've been going to Jeska for 6 years now and I'm converting everyone to here. As a mid 30 year old who is in the sun a lot for running I asked on on the fly after a wax what I could do about my sun damage on my chest. She gives me magic and it worked. I was thinking I would need a chemical peel but nope Jeska explained why it would work and also said it also helps with in grown hairs. I know waxing is painful but if there is anyone who can make it painless it's Jeska. Always so professional. I've had a facial from here to and I was amazed at what a difference it makes. She had me bring in all of my products and she spent the time to go through them all with me so I knew what I should use. The time she spent with me was not even part of the facial. You want amazing service and knowledge...go here! read more

With another five star review, I am not being terribly original, but when you deserve it, you definitely deserve it, and Jeska does. I've been once so far for services and twice to pick up product, and will definitely keep going back. The studio space is well kept and the product line she carries, Rhonda Allison, has done wonders for my congested skin. I found Jeska through a recommendation from my sister, and went to her to start a regimen so my skin would be in tip top shape for my wedding next year, and could not be more pleased with the discovery. Per the services, I found Jeska to be very pleasant to work with and very professional. Sometimes during spa treatments I find there to be an awkward tension - do you talk? Or not talk? If you don't, are you being rude? Or if you do, are you just asking the practitioner the same five questions everyone does and boring them to death? I found Jeska to be super friendly and low key and none of this even crossed my mind, which was reassuring when I all but fell asleep during the massage portion at the end of the facial I received. During the facial she paid close attention to my skin, and made recommendations for my regimen beyond the products she was using (supplements, hydration, etc.). She was thorough during extractions, and had about as light of a touch as you can when you're doing those. And the massage was heavenly - I will definitely be adding the additional scalp massage on to my next appointment. And to boot Jeska was very non-pressuring when it came time to check out. Sometimes I feel like the aestheticians just throw product at you, but she kept her suggestions to the point and friendly and I did not feel awkward at all picking and choosing from among her selections (I left with one product and later came back to buy two more when I finished what I had at home). All in all, a must try. I will be a repeat visitor, and if you're looking for a top notch facial in the east bay then I highly suggest Neptune Skincare. read more

I met Jeska over a month ago when I moved to Oakland in search of a stylist. Previously she worked out of Skin&Tonic. She did such an amazing job on my brows that when she offered to schedule me with someone else there (because she was opening this business) I insisted on waiting for her grand opening. She was more than worth the wait. The new space is charming and a spunky much like Jeska herself. As someone who is too lazy to apply makeup on a regular basis, I rely on my brows looking good to keep me presentable. Jeska is great at what she does. You can't go wrong by scheduling with her. read more

I absolutely LOVE Jeska!!! Services received from Jeska over 4years: - brow, lip, under-arm, and Brazilian waxing - custom facial What I love most is the cleanliness, atmosphere, skill level, and conversation. Neptune is always in amazing photo shoot ready shape. I literally yell at my friends to go to Jeska whenever I hear their waxing horror stories (and there are many). I swear and I've told her this before that I could fall asleep when she's doing my brows if I didn't have so much to update her on every time. Between the music she has playing and the delicious smelling, high quality products she uses on your face you WILL fall asleep during a facial. Soooo relaxing!!! I strongly stand by this point I am about to make. Being able to clearly communicate with the person that is going near my vagina (yes I said the v-word) with hot wax is very important to me. Communication is key!! There are never any surprises in this department. This is my first yelp review but I figured it was finally time to stop keeping my Neptune secret :-). This review is kind of all over the place but lemme tell you my brows, upper-lip and bikini-line are in perfect order because of Jeska!! read more

I found Neptune here on Yelp, and was able to book an appointment online, which was really easy. The space is stylish and minimalist, and Jeska was really friendly and explained everything as we went along. She also sent me home with a couple of product samples and a suggestion on which face scrub to buy (the blueberry one), which I did, and really love. It's been three weeks since my appointment, and my skin still looks pretty damn good, with no breakouts, and my eyebrows still look nice and tamed! I will definitely be going back soon. read more

I had seen Jeska when she worked at Skin and Tonic for waxing services. She is, by far, the best esthetician I have experienced. So, when I heard she had started her own studio, I was excited check it out. I went in for a facial, as I have heard it is a wonderful thing and I wanted to try it. Like most guys, I never really cared much about how I treated my skin, so, when Jeska gave me the treatment, I had no idea what to expect. AMAZING! A relaxing hour of facial massage and pampering that left me on the verge of sleep & when I looked at my face in the mirror, it was soft and rejuvenated. I was interested in maintaining this feeling but, I was a little intimidated about being able to keep up with any sort of regiment. Jeska gave me a little education about a few products that Neptune carries and I ended up leaving with a few things that really have made a difference in my day to day. On top of the royal treatment, the studio itself is VERY relaxing, clean and stylish. I can't recommend Neptune Skin Care Enough!! read more

I've been Jeska's client for over 5 years. She is meticulous and thoughtful in countless ways -- the products and treatments she recommends for my skin, how she designs her waiting area and treatment spaces and her communication with her clients. She is truly motivated by the safety, comfort and satisfaction of her clients. So, when Neptune reopened in November, I did not think twice about coming in for a much needed deep peel. As I expected, Neptune's space, practices and COVID protocols were top notch. Jeska took my temperature. She wore a mask, face shield and gloves during treatment, and I communicated during treatment with hand signals and head nods. We physically distanced outside the treatment room. Neptune's spaces were sparkling clean, as it always had been. I am beyond thrilled that Neptune has reopened, and have booked recurring treatments to support this wonderful business! read more

Jeska!! What can i say? she's easy to talk to and gives PERFECT BROWS!! Every time! LOVE HER! read more

From top notch, all natural products to the fresh and elegant interior design, Neptune is indeed a heavenly experience. Jeska has created a space that is beautiful and inviting, relaxing and stylish--the perfect environment to unwind and enjoy her expertise. Jeska's incredible knowledge of her craft and thoughtfully tailored services are highly effective, nurturing, and perfectly poised to target your specific needs. Most recently, I enjoyed a custom facial w/ décolleté, which was deeply relaxing and effective, the ultimate in a holistic skin care ritual. With many years of experience, and a keen eye for individual needs, Jeska has a natural capacity for building a loyal client base, myself included. I was so pleased to find out she was opening her own studio and couldn't wait to make my first appointment--now I can't wait to schedule my second! If you haven't yet been to Neptune, I heartily encourage you to hurry in--you'll be so happy you did. read more

BEST facial EVER! Beautiful, inviting, relaxing location in San Rafael. Jeska gave me the works - quick facial peel, micro dermabrasion, wonderful products to put some moisture into my dry skin. She works wonders and really knows what she's doing. I can't say enough good about my experience and look forward to my next appointment. She also has a wonderful selection of products she sells. I very highly recommend you make an appointment and treat yourself to a facial. You won't be disappointed read more

I recently had a microdermabrasion treatment with Jeska and it was amazing! I've been interested in it before but always been kind of hesitant about actually trying it. Turns out, it was really easy and my skin felt and looked great afterwards. Also, there was very little down time. Jeska made sure to walk me through the treatment and made sure to check on me which I really appreciated. I would definitely try it again! I've had many treatments from Jeska, including facials and peels and my skin has never looked better. I also love the products that she carries and always go off her recommendations. I actually save money by not buying products that don't work. Her space is beautiful and clean, always smells great and is just overall a great experience. I highly recommend! read more

Best facials ever! I have been seeing Jeska for facials for over 2 years. As someone who previously worked for a dermatologist, I am very selective about skincare services, having gone to my fair share of facialists in the past. Before Jeska, some facials I received felt like something I could have done at home myself. Jeska's combination of customized, personal treatments and keen eye for what my skin needs goes way beyond the surface and produces long-lasting results. Another reason Jeska won me over is she is very knowledgeable about skincare concerns and root causes of skin issues. Also, she focuses on natural/organic skincare lines, emphasizing effective and targeted products. Moreover, a facial with Jeska is both pampering and treatment-based, which is a rare combination. Feels good, smells yummy + it's effective! My skin is always glowing when I leave her. Seeing her regularly enables my skin to be healthier, clearer, and radiant both now and in the future. Not to mention she is such a lovely person to know...you can't go wrong! Like the previous person's review, I too waited for Jeska to open her new place instead of booking with anyone else! read more

Jeska is amazing...she has the eye of a make up artist when she shapes my eyebrows. She truly is talented. For years I had been going to different estheticians for eyebrows and they never got them quite right...until I met Jeska about 3 years ago. I now get COMPLIMENTS on my eyebrows. Imagine that. :) She is also talented for all other types of waxing...legs, bikini, etc. I don't go anywhere else. Her new spot on Telegraph is lovely...very chic and comfy. Jeska is one of those fabulous treasures of the East Bay. read more

I had a wonderful experience at Neptune today with Jeska. My skin is glowing and I walked away feeling more confident, clean, and clearer than when I walked in. Jeska is knowledgable about her craft, generous, and thoughtful about each client's individual needs. My sensitive skin and allergies often leave me wary of trying new things and I felt supported and inspired to invest more time into my skin with Jeska's help and advice. I loved my time at Neptune and can't wait until my next wax and facial! read more

I came here for a facial and a back facial. She is amazing! Like in all other reviews, this place is absolutely the best! I will come back for sure. read more

Sent an email to book an appointment over a week ago and never received a response. I was looking forward to going to this Spa given all the great reviews :( As you can see most of their reviews are old so maybe they've closed or stop taking new clients, but if so they should make that clear. read more

I had a great experience at Neptune Skin Care and working with Jeska. First of all, the studio itself is classy, clean and beautifully decorated. I really appreciated how meticulously she cleaned my skin and that took the time to explain what she was doing. Everything she did felt great, even the pore cleaning because she did it so deftly. I also loved the products she used on my skin and purchased some. I really like that she chooses products that are free of the toxins so prevalent in skin care products and that she incorporates aromatherapy. I really noticed a difference in the way my face looked and felt the next day. I will be back and I recommend you look no further if you are looking for an aesthetician in the East Bay. read more

Jeska is the absolute best. She really goes above and beyond and she's so friendly and sweet. I have gone to a few other people to get facials but nothing is as good as Neptune. I always feel really relaxed and my skin feels soft and happy after each visit. Go to Neptune and you won't regret it. The products Jeska uses smell incredible and they're all-natural which I'm a huge fan of. She doesn't push products but if you ask for a recommendation she will give you some great ideas about what to use for your skin-type and the products go a long way and are worth every penny, as is the facial. Thank you Jeska!!! read more

Got my bushy brows back on track today thanks to Neptune! They have been over and under plucked and trimmed and needed a savior. Jeska came through and reworked my brows (evened them out without making them too thin) and I feel thrilled to have found her. Beautiful space, great business, and the best brows! read more

Jeska knows her stuff and you can tell she's really passionate about what she does. I recieved the best facial I've ever had w Jeska explaining each step along the way. She welcomed questions but also said it was okay if I just wanted to "zone out and relax." Which I did during the relaxing mini massage she gives w the facial. I walked out w the knowledge I needed for my specific skin type. I also walked out w a skin care regime that Jeska sells. However, NONE of these were pressured on me to buy. Jeska even gave me a list of skin care supplements that she takes herself along w her email. She said I could email her at anytime w any questions I had because she loves talking about skin care. The shop was very chic and very clean. Amazing place! read more

I was blown away by my experience at Neptune! As someone who has never gotten a professional facial before - I didn't know exactly what to expect... Jeska made me feel instantly at ease and knowledgeably explained every step of the process. I walked away from my session with a good grasp of my skin type, a sense of what I was doing right (in terms of skin-care) and where I could improve. I'm a minimalist - and don't do much to take care of my skin - one lovely thing about Jeska is that she didn't oversell me on products or recommend an intensive skin-care regimen. I feel as though I've found a great resource, a skin-care guru, that I can trust to work with me to prevent all kinds of future damage. I'm hugely glad that I found her and would highly recommend giving her a call. read more

Just had a facial by Jeska - she's amazing! Just the right balance of relaxing, really cleaning out those pores, and super informative. I'll definitely be back for more! read more

My friend Dale J. told me about Jeska at Skin & Tonic years ago and I was impressed from day one. There are plenty of good esthetician's in the city but I want the best so I go all the way over to see Jeska at Neptune. I'm so happy that she is now her own boss. She deserves a successful growing business. She knows her stuff and is helpful and cares about your skin. She listens to me babble on and does her magic. I try to go as much as I can and wish i could go more than a couple times a year but when I do I always leave feeling like my skin is glowing. If you live in Oakland or have friends close by, spread the word! You know an esthetician is great when their own skin is amazing!! read more

I've been seeing Jeska since her and Ellen were on Grand before Skin and Tonic. I finally got some time away from my 4 month old and saw her at her new location. Her new space looks great. I love that her facials are both cleansing and relaxing. She is very skilled at doing extractions. I love that, unlike other estheticians, she doesn't leave the room while waiting for a mask to do its work. She stays and massages you. I fall asleep everytime. I actually catch myself snoring! She listens and is patient and she's not pushy about selling products (although I love Rhonda Allison's pumice scrub). I just got my first brow wax with her today and of course my brows look great! read more

Jeska is so talented. She is both affable and knowledgable. I always leave feeling more informed about my skin and the process she takes me through. She has amazing products and has prescribed me the perfect regimen. I'm so happy to have found her and her adorably quaint business! read more

I LOVE my big bushy eyebrows but just need them cleaned up here and there. I was really afraid to go to a professional because I thought they'd try to turn my eyebrows into sperm-shaped nightmares!! But no....I've seen Jeska about 5 times now I've been extremely pleased. She talks me through what she wants to do and lets me use a mirror to check on the progress. She has a great waxing technique and gives me tips on products for my skin and products to fill in or darken my eyebrows. I highly recommend her services, you won't be disappointed. read more

Jeska was great, she made me feel really relaxed as I got my first facial ever and she gave me some great advice about how to take care of my wrinkles. I felt like she helped lighten my dark spots as well. Furthermore, she also uses only natural products which is good because I'm a bit mistrustful of chemical body lotions and whatnot. I'm now much more conscious about using lotion on my face daily and I would recommend Neptune to anyone striving to non-invasively look younger for what I believe is a very reasonable price. read more

I give Neptune and Jeska a 5 star rating because she deserves it. It's a wonderful salon. If you haven't tried Neptune I strongly urge you to. You won't be disappointed! Jeska is so knowledgeable about different skin types and what works best, it's amazing! She's turned my 64yr old skin (which hasn't had much care) into skin that glows with health! I look years younger than I use to! I am amazed at the difference and thankful for Jeska's expertise. For facials she uses natural products that have names of flowers and fruits. I couldn't believe the results. For the 1st time in my life I feel like I want to take care of my skin because she's made it easy for me to do so with written directions tailored just for me. I even had her wax my eyebrows and what a difference that made too! She's done a wonderful job decorating and setting up her new salon on Telegraph. Parking is so much easier (and free) than where she was before. It's nice that she's willing to work at times that fit my schedule, not a 9am-5pm, Mon-Fri business. I personally find Jeska a very sweet young lady who doesn't feel like she needs to be talking all the time. Each visit is a very relaxing experience. She has wonderfully soft hands! Her choice of music is also great. read more
