This space is inside a home so it's a bit confusing to find at first, but when you walk in - OMG! It is so relaxing, tranquil, and clean. Ramona is AMAZING! She is caring, so friendly, knowledgeable, and she really makes you feel so immediately comfortable :) Her prices are very fair as well. I had a electro-cauterization done and it was $150 for 6 spots - though she got a few extra in! Her dogs are also so friendly and really create such an awesome atmosphere. Lots of bowls of chocolate around too :) I'd go again and again and want to try more types of treatments. read more

See all

Ramona is simply the best! She takes time to get to know you and really listen. She single-handedly brought my rosacea-laden skin back from the brink. I can't say enough about how gifted she is. And the hand and neck/scalp massage is heavenly! read more

ALL THE REVIEWS ARE TRUE! I knew Kate was a true professional from our consultation session. She told me to immediately stop using two product in my routine. A little background on me: I am a thirty year old that has never dealt with acne until the last 6-9 months. Of course, I had the occasional breakout, but it was nothing compared to the sea of pimples and cystic acne I now see all around my chin. I just left my first facial with Kate. This was by far the most thorough facial I have ever had. There are ups and downs in the facial: soothing, relaxing creams to tingly AF creams that make your skin feel like it's burning for a few seconds. The extractions were bad and hurt like hell. But I'd much rather have them out than to leave them there. Overall, I am super pleased with the experience and Kate's nurturing and expert approach. Honestly, my face looks extremely scary right now, but I am hopeful this is the first step to a clear face. ***Don't forget that new customers get 10% off the first treatment! read more

This place is a miracle! Every review is a perfect score for a reason. You cannot have a bad experience here. I see Kate, and even though the reviews rave about how amazing the other estheticians are, my vote for skin guru goes to her. She has taken my skin from dull and dry, with signs of aging and random breakouts, to the best skin I have EVER had in my adult life. I've had 3 facials with her now, and will see her monthly for as long as she'll have me. Before my first facial she did a free consult, looked at my skin, gave me some samples and then texted to check on me. She won me over instantly, and I have never looked back. She is informative, caring, and has never tried to push a product on me. The products she has recommended and let me sample, have ended up being perfect for my skin, and I've purchased them (with no up charge) with zero regret. Every time I return to see her she admires how good my skin looks with a caring pride, like it's her own. Walking in to Shine was the best decision I've made for my skin, ever. Also, you cannot beat the cost! After an hour of dedicated and detailed work and seeing the end result (indescribably amazing skin) I feel like they're letting me rob them. But the reality is, it's so cost effective that I have made it a part of my monthly self-care and beauty routine with zero guilt. Thank you Shine and thank you KATE! My skin is glowing and I feel beautiful :) read more

Shine Clinical Skin Care - I love walking in to this wonderful waiting room. It always smells amazing and feels so peaceful. - Skin Care Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is a solid skincare place. First, they have amazing air conditioning, so it will remain cool in the summer. It is incredibly clean and well-maintained. I've been here twice, for two 30 minute facials, each with different estheticians. Both were wildly different facials. One was more "clinical" and the other was more relaxing. I liked the more "clinical" facial better, as I felt that my skin was left with better results, not feeling as oily afterwards. Each facial used way different products. They will send you home with a ton of sample products if you want. I am a cranky old person who likes what I like (and have probably tried every possible product due to my facial addiction in my 20s) and get tired of the up sell. But small places need to make those sales happen, since as well all know, skincare is crazy expensive. I have also had an underarm and eyebrow wax. My eyebrows are wacky. They are more length than anything, and do not behave. They turned out ok; they are tricky because if you trim them or give an arch normal on anyone else, it will look like they were gnawed on in my sleep. I can't fault them for that on the first go around. But they have some uneven spots in them, and aren't as spot on as some places I've had in the past, who have wowed me first time out. read more

Simply put: Ramona is the best! I first went to her with problematic skin and she has completely turned my skin around. Her services are incredibly personalized and grounded in the latest science. In the 7 years that I've been a client, I've never felt pressure to buy large amounts of products, but love the ones I have purchased based on her recommendations (Skinceuticals, Rhonda Allison, bion). She always has something that works across different price ranges. If you're looking for deeply personalized, effective service in a cozy setting, then I'd check out Shine! read more

Kia!! I adore her! I came in from an Amazon local voucher, and this is the first time I've used one of those and decided to keep going to the place because it totally surpassed my expectations. My practitioner, Kia is a total sweet heart- and she recommends services you actually need or would want, she totally won't just try to upsell you a bunch of junk which is so awesome! She took care of my skin in the months leading to my wedding, and I am so lucky to have found her. The spa itself is cute, small and welcoming- its pristine clean and has all sorts of amenities in the bathroom so you can "reconstruct" yourself post facial. Very recommended, and I look forward to my next visit! read more

Wow. Kia is a miracle worker. I've had facials before that I thought were good, but this was on another level. My skin has been inexplicably freaking out over the last six months. It's always been dry, but recently it started breaking out all over my chin as well. I had a facial at Gene Juarez about four months ago, desperate to correct the problem. They recommended that I get a Clarisonic to exfoliate daily as I cleanse in conjunction with a serum and facial moisturizer. I did all three, dropping mega bucks in the process. Two months later, my skin still sucked and I found myself at Shine Clinical Skin Care via an Amazon Local deal, which was for a one hour mircoderm facial. My experience was fantastic from the moment I stepped in the door. Kia is seriously amazing. She charges by time, not by service, which means that she will tailor your facial to what your skin actually needs, including any and all services within an hour, without up-charging you for additional services. I should mention that this is a clinical facial, not a "spa/relaxation" facial. There is a big difference - this type of facial is designed to dramatically improve skin rather than smell nice, be soothing, etc. If you want results, this is the only way to go. I was eager to purchase any products that Kia recommended because I was pretty desperate, however she refused to let me purchase anything without testing it out first (!!!) and loaded me up with samples. Two days after my facial and using the sample products she gave me, my skin was about 95% improved. Three weeks and one more facial later, I have essentially perfect skin. I honestly can't comprehend these results, but I know one thing for sure - Kia is now, and forever will be, my skin guru! THANK YOU KIA! read more

I went in for a pigment balancing treatment. My experience at Shine Clinical was so amazing I feel compelled to write a review. Ramona is simply amazing, and caring, and warm. She took plenty of time to understand my skin and answered all my questions with great patience and expertise. She told me carefully about aftercare. She is a wonderful conversationalist. I really enjoyed chatting with her. After the treatment, Ramona carefully layered sunscreen on my face. My skin felt and looked amazing afterwards, glowing with a youthful radiance. I love the home-like feel of the space (and also how the entrance is in the back of the building). The space is a relaxing haven in the middle of a busy business district. Did I mention the pretty thank-you card I received in the mail the next day after my appointment? Love it! Thanks! read more

I've been going to Shine for dermaplaning facials for about two years and could not be happier! I primarily see Rachel, but I've been to Kate as well and both are amazing! Rachel gives excellent recommendations for my skin care plan to help with any issue I face and customizes my facial based on my needs. I've also found that Shine has the best prices in Seattle without compromising quality. read more

Got an Essential Facial for a birthday present, so I came here about a week ago for my first facial ever, with Kia. I had recently finishing up a round of antibiotics (which I had been prescribed for strep throat) that has messed with my skin and I needed some help before I went on a trip! Kia was great. Since this was my first facial, I can't really compare it to other experiences I've had. But, objectively speaking, I think it was pretty awesome. Kia understood that I was a Facial Noobie and she explained each process she was taking me through, which I really appreciated. I will DEFINITELY be coming back -- it's a new found guilty pleasure. The ambiance is everything you'd want in a spa/facial setting, quiet rooms with nice background music, clean bathrooms, heated beds (that you'll probably doze off in) and professional staff. I would highly recommend Kia if you're looking for a great facial. Her knowledge of my skin's current state and my immediate vs. future needs made me excited to return to Shine. My skin IMMEDIATELY improved after one visit -- and I can't wait for my next facial. I've always wanted that "natural glow" type of skin that people can't stop staring at (in a good way), and I'm confident she can get me there! I bought a couple products there (including facial moisturizer, facial cleanser, and a new bronzer -- all decently priced I thought) and was also sent home with a few samples. Oh yea, they offer a discount for a "bundle" pack of facials... and it never expires. I'll be buying one of those after my next paycheck :) read more

Ramona is my saver! I had a terrible acne! Now my skin is so much better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All of the products are amazing! My mom went to her when she was visiting Seattle and just loved the service and products! Thank you Ramona! read more

I heard of Kate from a girl at my gym. I struggled with bad hormonal acne for over a year and Kate completely reset my face! Even my boyfriend has told people about my "mini peels" being a miracle. After my first appointment, I didn't even get a pimple in the two months between appointments. After not having a clear face for so long, I couldn't believe it. The facial is also super relaxing and was a lot easier the second time. I had only had one facial before and it was literally just someone rubbing one cream then another and acting annoyed when I asked questions. With Kate, it's a lot more than that and she is serious about the extractions! She also hooked me up with some amazing Skincare products (without any pressure). She even made some great recommendations for stuff outside of their clinic, including makeup tips. If you have a question, she will steer you in a good direction. Highly recommend this place. read more

I cannot say enough about Shine! Ramona is so terrific...she makes me feel special and helps me take the best possible care of my skin. She gives really detailed, customized facials and you can tell she is an expert in her field. The space is warm and clean. Parking spots are literally steps from her door. I'm a facial person...I've had lots from lots of different people all over...in Seattle and while traveling. So I feel well qualified to endorse Ramona and her services. I'm super excited about Shine and can't wait to go back! read more

I started seeing Kia about one year ago and see her on a monthly basis. I have adult acne and sensitive skin. These facials have finally gotten my acne breakouts under control. Even my husband has noticed that I don't break out as much. I still get some breakouts, but Kia works magic and now my breakouts are small and not cystic. She doesn't push any products on me. I let her know if I need anything and she makes a suggestion. She is very knowledgeable about products and I trust her to give me glowing radiant skin every time! read more

Kia turned my skin around after chronic acne that I couldn't get to the bottom of. I followed her from Skinlogic and look forward to our sessions, knowing my skin will look and feel years younger every time. On top of this, she is a lovely human, wonderful to talk to, and my skin has never been happier! read more

I came in for a consultation and Facial with Kate, and fell in love. Shine is amazing, an oasis for me from the the world and it's stress for 60 min. Kate is not only extremely competent and did an amazing job with my extraction, but she is also incredibly friendly and an amazing person to talk to about skincare. When she recommends a product to me, she was not at all pushy and answer all of my question. I would definitely come back (even if I have to travel to Seattle), and I definitely would recommend Shine to anyone read more

Shine bright like a diamond! I have been going to Kia for a while now and while she may not have the power to make me look like a rock star she definitely makes me feel like one! My skin was glowing after my last facial! I don't know what sort of magic she pulls during the facial but if you get the chance let her work her magic on you! read more

I've been seeing Ramona for about 7 months - at first just once or twice and now regularly. I have sensitive, acne prone skin. Not only has she turned my skin around, she's also finally given me the peace of mind by being genuinely invested in my self care/skin routine. She is thorough, explanatory and personable to boot! I've never been so fond of caring for my needy skin. Five thousand stars for Ramona and her counterparts for running a spectacular, relaxing business. read more

I adore Kia. I originally booked an appointment with her via a gift from a friend who also loves her, and I've been seeing her religiously ever since. She will give you an amazing clinical facial expertly tailored to your skin's specific needs-best facials I have ever had. And the price is shockingly low. read more

I was struggling with hormonal breakouts along my jawline and chin and was fed up, so I got a recommendation from a friend to go see Kate. I have been 3 times now and my skin has transformed! I am so happy with the results. Kate has been so supportive, kind and passionate. She is an expert at skincare! And the products she recommends are efficient--I use a cleanser and an emollient moisturizer, that's it! So easy but impactful. Thank you Kate! read more

Just back from a fabulous facial with Kia at Shine Clinical Skin Care. Highly recommended for ambience, skill and results. Not pushy about buying products, etc. either. I will be going back often. read more

Ramona, the owner, is absolutely fantastic. She's genuine and caring and really takes the time to understand your skin concerns and needs. Her business is very inviting, warm, and friendly, while maintaining a professional and pristine atmospere. She takes the time to really make sure you understand how to treat your skin following the treatment and lathers your face with sunscreen before sending you back out in the world. Really a great overall experience. My skin has never looked better!! read more

Kate is absolutely amazing! I struggle with acne and Kate has helped me to not only clear up my face, but has helped me to actually love my skin without make up on. I highly recommend Kate to anyone that has any kind of skin concerns. She is absolutely fantastic! read more

Yelp seems to want to filter my review so I wanted to emphasize I remain a loyal customer at Shine and think the world of Ramona and her ability to take care of my skin. She is a total hoot to chat with and I always enjoy my experience at the salon. From acne, to pigmentation, to more youthful skin - I can't recommend SCSC enough! read more

This is a long overdue review!!! I have been seeing Ramona for more than a year now and have been so very happy with every single treatment she has given me. I started seeing her during my second pregnancy very early on, and with regular treatments, persistence, and individualized attention to my needs and what was possible during a pregnancy, Ramona really helped keep my skin under control as I went through the pregnancy hormone roller coaster. And now, as my hormones are slowly returning to pre-pregnancy levels I am so happy to still have Ramona work on my skin and keep it feeling great! A couple things to point out that I think make Ramona unique and great at what she does: - she personalizes each treatment to do what is best at that moment for your skin, not just the same routine each time - she doesn't take her clients' skin challenges lightly, and will fight the good fight to get things on track! - she is pretty much one of the sweetest people out there - her space is truly relaxing and a great place to get away from everyday stresses I really can't say enough great things about Ramona! read more

I saw kia Saturday and was blown away with every step from check in, to my blissful exit. This place is top notch in customer service, knowledgeable and helpful with product selection. She was informative, and customized my service to my exact needs. My whole experience could not have been better and I've never had a better facial!! read more

I just had a facial with Kia and I can't say enough good things. I feel ten years younger. I am radiating. And Kia is just a wonderful human being. Plus, the space is so lovely. I already booked my next appointment. read more

You can't get better than Ramona for a serious facial that works very hard for your skin. The best of both worlds.... a truly clinical facial in a spa-like setting. On our the first visit, she took plenty of time to really understand what I was looking for and the goals I had for my skin. She also gauged how aggressive I wanted her to get in the treatments. Her space is warm and inviting and she has an easygoing and personable demeanor. The facial was so thorough. After taking a good look, Ramona implemented a variety of therapies into our session, from dermaplaning to oxygen therapy. She uses very high quality products and I love that Ramona shares her vast knowledge about skin care throughout the process and she can answer just about any question I throw her way. She keeps up with current trends in skin care science and is committed to her I highly recommend a visit to Ramona - in fact, buy a series package - you won't be disappointed! Oh - and there's parking! read more

This place is amazing. I love that it is place focused on giving great facials and really helping me with my skin care regime vs. lots of smelly lotions and potions and trying to sell me a bunch of stuff. Ramona has recommended products for me but it didn't feel pushy and helped me decide which ones to prioritize for me. Ramona is amazing. read more

I used to think "medical" facials were a load of crap but this isn't your average visit where they rub a couple of creams on your face and then try to sell you $300 in products. This a facial on steroids - utilizing all the latest techniques - and customized to your skin. I've been seeing Kia for about 6 months and my skin is improving every day. I look forward to visiting this relaxing, cozy space and Kia takes wonderful care of me. read more

This review is long overdue. Kia is hands down the best esthetician I've been to. I completely trust her with my skin. Not only is her space relaxing and her treatment table is like laying on a cloud, but she is so knowledgable and experienced. Kia is very result driven and it shows! My skin GLOWS when I leave the shop, and for weeks after a facial I get compliments on my skin. I love that she picks from a bunch of different product lines too. I feel like I'm getting the best of everything. Speaking of the best, she introduced me to dermal planing and I'm sold. I feel like I have baby skin now. I don't have any peach fuzz, and my skin tone and texture is better. I'm a convert! Plus she isn't pushy at all about product, she just recommends what she thinks could really benefit your skin. I feel like the regimen she sent me home with is not only perfectly suited to my skin, but I know it came with an honest recommendation. Obviously I can't speak highly enough about Kia and her work! Do yourself and your skin a favor by booking today. read more

Ramona is amazing! I had my first visit yesterday at shine, and it was the most thorough consultation and facial I have ever had. Ramona listened to all of my concerns and seemed to know so much about my skin without me needing to explain. She had a product recommendation for me at the end of the visit, but was not in any way pushy, which I really appreciate. I will absolutely be back. Wishing she could come to my house and take care of my skin every day. read more

Ramona is wonderful! She knows her stuff and does a great job. She's friendly and you can tell she likes what she does. She doesn't try to push products or anything and tells you honestly what you need or don't need for your skin. The space she has is great and very cute. Definitely check her out-it'll be worth it I promise! read more

Romona is the best. My experience of using Groupon or Living Social voucher is businesses won't give "100%" most of the time. Romona is warm and attentive. I like VIP. I had a micro peel. It removed the layer of dead skin on my face. I feel like my skin is NEW. Go see her! read more

Ramona is the best ever! Do something wonderful for yourself and go have a facial from her, or give a wonderful gift for someone special. You will be so happy you did. read more
