1st facial. Was excellent! Very relaxing and love that it is a small independent shop.

Eleni is fabulous! She made my skin absolutely amazing. She is so professional, energetic , and is passionate about skincare and finding what is best for each persons skin. I have recommended her to all of my friends and family. Her cottage is absolutely adorable in downtown Lafayette. Getting a facial from Eleni is a real treat! read more

Why doesn't every woman in the world know about sugaring?!? I am so glad I found Eleni and this amazing hair removal technique. I will never go back to waxing ever again! I have to admit, I was a little skeptical about sugaring because I couldn't imagine how the technique worked. When I met Eleni, she answered my questions, took me through the process and we had a brief conversation about my hair removal needs. Eleni made it clear that she would work with me and that we could remove as much or as little hair as I wanted. Once I understood the process, I was still a little skeptical about how exact the hair removal could be. Let me just say, Eleni is like a surgeon! A precise surgeon who made sure I was perfectly groomed and coiffed. Eleni and the sugaring technique are both very gentle. I won't lie and say it was painless, but compared to waxing, Eleni might as well have been brushing my skin with fluffy bunnies! I was thrilled with my visit to Eleni and I will be returning for... ever. Eleni's salon is classy and comfortable. She's got an easy-to-find location with a parking lot and street parking. After my sugaring, Eleni gave me a quick skin consult which I really appreciated. While she mentioned her more upscale products, she also suggested some OTC options from my local drugstore. I appreciated the choices. I highly recommend Skin by Eleni. Visit her and see for yourself! read more

I was referred to Eleni by one of my fabulous diva friends who swore on the who "sugaring" technique. She said that I HAD to go to Eleni. I did and I will try no other treatment! There was little discomfort and pain and she was very thorough about explaining the process. She was also very knowledgeable and helpful on facial products and I love the daily exfoliant she recommended. You want to look great and be sexy? Eleni is the best! read more

I honestly can't stop saying good things about Eleni. I wish I could carry her in my pocket at all times and she would seriously fix any hair or blemish that was out whack before I even noticed. Have you ever meet a person who really loves their job...the ones that almost make you forget that they are ripping the hairs from your pores...well that's Eleni. I just went to her new shop and I absolutely loved it. It just feel so cute and warm, just like Eleni. I know I sound over the top but Eleni accomplished the impossible the other day...she made my mother a very happy customer. For that I wish I could give her an extra star. After Eleni finished my mother's eyebrows she had to go to the car and put on make up. Really do I need to say more...except thanks Eleni. read more

Eleni provides excellent service as well as phenomenal results. She definitely shows passion and dedication to her work. From the moment I met her I felt like I've known her for years! She's very personable, professional and super lovable. I would definitely consider her a "go to" person for all your skin care and sugaring needs. I personally go to Eleni for sugaring, and I'm Hooked! The sugaring process is fast and barable!! My hairs grow out thinner and as the hair grows out there is absolutely no ingrowns, no irritations which equals a happy ME! Eleni if you ever read this, you have such a warm contagious spirit! Thank you for taking good care of me as a client and for showing that you care! You're great! read more

I have been going to Eleni for years for sugaring. She is efficient, detail oriented and honest. I have actually moved to Vallejo and tried a local place but there is no comparison to Eleni so I commute to Lafayette for her services. I have actually asked about other services and she is honest to tell me I don't need to do it or will give me sample of something to try at home before I purchase it. I absolutely adore her and will continue to drive from Vallejo to Lafayette to use her services. PS. Sugaring is so much better than waxing. No bumps or ingrowns and Eleni is very affordable read more

Eleni is the best! She always takes her time with all of her services and if she has the extra time, she'll spend it on you! I love how she's proactive about skin care issues and she doesn't push her products on you. But you'll end up buying everything she suggests because you know she's looking out for your best interest. I lived in Hawaii and whenever I flew home I always made time to get something done. I live in Virginia now and I'll still be returning to see Eleni. read more

This place is amazing! I regularly receive facials from Eleni and the treatments are always exceptional. The skin spa is beautiful, clean, and very relaxing. I not only felt great but I looked fabulous as well. Post-facial people always comment on how good my skin looks! In addition to providing a fantastic service Eleni also recommends great at home care. I love all of the products that she suggested and thought they were very reasonably priced. I can't wait for my next appointment and highly recommend that you check out Eleni for any of your future skin care needs! read more

Eleni is FABULOUS! wonderful to spend time with, and so fun you forget she's ripping your hair out...sugaring is SO much better than waxing. doesn't leave your skin a burnt mess, and is just all around gentler. Love seeing Eleni :) read more

So Eleni responded to my original review over 6 years after I wrote it to ask me to remove it. I understand that losing a parent is traumatic and that life sometime gets in the way of business. But it has been more than 6 years since my original review and the response is to make excuses and ask me to remove my review? I will not. My review is an accurate account of my experience trying to schedule an appointment with Eleni using the contact information that was available to me. While I wish this woman the best for her business, I stand by my original review. read more

Eleni makes me feel like I'm her only client...very special. I am pampered from the moment I walk in. Her facials feel so good that I want to make pleasure noises, but I know that's frowned upon so I keep them to myself. Treat yourself...you're worth it. read more

Such a great facial!! Eleni has this aura about her that just makes you relax and feel like you're in great hands (literally )! It was awesome-- completely relaxing and the product felt great. What I loved was that Eleni was attentive to understanding how your skin felt (as our skin all reacts differently) and more importantly telling you what she was doing and why. I have good skin but learned some great tips to keep it looking great as I get older! Take the time and treat yourself! read more

yeah yeah the sugaring is amazing, but lets talk about the facial!!!! My GAWD! I am healed inside and out from the exfoliating mask, the forever long massage.... my arms, my hands, my face and decolatage. I was in a total state of Nirvana for days after.........Matt is the luckiest man alive read more

I discovered sugar waxing when I was living in Houston. I went to this wonderful Persian lady and instantly was a fan of this technique. To my dismay, when I moved to the Bay Area I found it difficult to find anyone who does sugaring. Fortunately, I found Eleni and all her reviewers raved about her. The location was a little difficult to spot at first especially since I never travel to Lafayette but once I got there I was very impressed. It's small but quaint and very clean. Eleni was not only very professional but she has a wonderful positive energy. The trip was well worthit and I'll be returning soon for more treatments:) read more

I absolutely LOVE Eleni!! I have been going to her for about 2 years now and am truly faithful to her. She is very knowledgable in sugaring and skincare and in my opinion, sugaring works way better. It leaves your skin softer than regular waxing and for me is a tad less painful too. She also introduced me to dermalogica (which I now swear by!) and uses their product for facials which are absolute heaven! I get facials from her every 6 months or so and it's very refreshing and relaxing. Eleni makes my skin glow everytime! She's the best! read more

Eleni is the best -- personality, service and heart. She is thorough and helpful and such a wonderful person. I'm a true convert to sugaring (vs waxing). When I want to treat myself, I book a facial which is she also great at! Helpful, sweet and such a good positive person. read more

Eleni is nothing less than a magician! I have never had a facial experience as good, with neck and chest ant hand treatment! Both times I have left so relaxed and my skin has felt renewed and glowing!! Take the time, treat yourself and go see her!!! read more

There aren't enough stars to rate Eleni! I've been going to her for my skin care & sugaring for a few years now and she's FABULOUS. Warm, caring, professional, skilled, ..everything you want in a person who can affect your appearance! It's like visiting a friend who just happens to rip your hair out! Eleni's new place is private and inviting. She doesn't push products on you, but is happy to make recommendations if you want them -- so far she hasn't been wrong. Luv you Eleni! See you Friday! read more

Eleni is so sweet, caring, talented, and passionate about her work. She uses amazing natural products and provides a one-of-a-kind, personalized experience. She cares about her clients and is so tuned in to what they need. She gives the right amount of pressure and the right amount of love - it truly is the best kind of service you can get. Highly recommended!! read more

Be careful when you visit Eleni. You will be hooked! Consider yourself warned. Her place is adorable, she is the absolute sweetest thing on the face of the earth AND she is amazing at what she does. I don't know who Nikki L. is, but if Eleni ever does become pocket-sized, I will fight to carry her around in my own pocket! Eleni gave me the best facial that I have ever had. And I have been visiting those giant, overpriced spas for many years. Burke Williams has nothing on Eleni! She sugared my eyebrows too. My whole face was just glowing when I left. Thank you Eleni! See you soon! read more

I have had the great fortune of knowing Eleni in many capacities, first as a wonderful friend, a great cotherapist, and as an excellent therapist. Her facial leaves you glowing with healthy looking skin and a feeling of total relaxation. She truly has comforting and calming massage techniques. It is truly and experience one should treat themselves to. As a friend and coworker she is kind, compassionate, and very dear. Love and Success Always Rosalie read more
