I've started going to Svetlana for her facial massages every few weeks and I've noticed a huge improvement. I was carrying a lot of stress in my face, like dark under eye circles, puffy face, and just feeling heavy and weighed down especially around my jawline, smile lines, and outer corner of my eyes. After a few facials, my skin looks bright and glowing, and the corners of my eyes look less droopy and my jawline looks more defined. I absolutely feel and look amazing after every session. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Every facial is customized depending on how my skin is doing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Svetlana knows just what my skin needs and I have a lot of confidence that she's helping me feel and look my best. Her facials are definitely worth treating yourself to! read more

This was a tough spa to enjoy- parking was difficult and it is very difficult to find. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I did appreciate how responsive the text phone number was.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I received a very poor bikini and leg wax here.

The most relaxing facial with lymphatic massage throughout! Can't wait to go back to Svetlana!

Oh my word. What a gem in Orinda! Svetlana and her team just moved her business here from Montclair, and boy are we Lamorindans lucky to have them! I've had a facial and a couple body wraps, and I'm about to have a lymphatic drainage massage (so excited), and everything has been so lovely. There is so much focus on the lymphatic system, even during more cosmetic services, that not only does everything feel so good during the service, but it makes you feel good for days afterwards. I'm looking forward to gifting facials and massages to my two teenage daughters - I just know they're going to enjoy them so much. I highly recommend coming to Skin Demands, it's such a beautiful experience! read more

Svetlana is the best! I discovered her earlier this year at Montclair, and received the best facial of my life, hands down. I love how she customizes every facial you come in for, based on what your skin needs. She takes her time and delivers quality service for your skin. Each time I come in, I feel like I'm escaping life for a bit, releasing all my worries and just being in Heaven :) When she told me she was relocating, it was a no-brainer for me.

My introduction to Svetlana started when my former esthetician sent an email informing his clients that his business had succumbed to covid. I was sad, not only for him, but for myself, too, because we had established a great relationship and rapport during the years we worked together. To make this long review longer, I'll say that I was in a facial desert for three years. Thanks to my mother's genes, my skin had always been in pretty good condition. That started changing when we were mandated to mask ourselves. I started experiencing breakouts I hadn't had in decades. A couple of months ago, I started researching Yelp for facial specialists. After a number of calls and conversations, I came across Skin Demands. The information on the website appeared to be a good fit for me. I thought it would offer a relaxing and calming environment. Boy was I on the mark! There was no awkwardness when I met Svetlana. Rather, it felt very warm and comfortable. During the time we spent on my facial, I found Svetlana to be very amiable and personable. The added bonus was the treatment room was free of any outside noise. During any type of body work, my experience is enhanced if the interaction between me and the practioner is pleasant and cozy. Svetlana and I had a nice and casual conversation as she was completing my facial, which made the time fly. Now, getting to the facial. I loved the results. My skin needed a deep cleaning, and Svetlana did not disappoint me. All the little "bumps" were extracted, and all my fears of full blown acne disappeared. Over the next few days, I kept touching my face (which they say you shouldn't) to enjoy my smooth skin, again. To say I was pleased with the end result would be redundant. Skin Demands is my new found gem. I will definitely be back. Spasiba, Svetlana, and dasvidaniya. read more

I booked my first appointment with Svetlana seven years ago through another business on Yelp. Svetlana, by far, is the most experienced and effective aesthetician I have visited. Over the years, I have had many different people work on my skin. Since childhood, I have had very sensitive skin that is easily prone to acne, discoloration, pigmentation and sun damage. What I love about Svetlana is she doesn't just do the standard same stuff. I am amazed at her ability to read my skin and then suggest the healthy remedies and treatment in that facial session. She never upsells her services or products. Her work speaks for itself based on the real results. She is always trying to perfect the art of skincare for each individuals' need. She deeply cares about her work and it shows in her craft. I respect how she is always learning about the latest skincare methods, product and technology in order to better serve her clients. She is professional, thoughtful and a delight to be around. I always look forward to my visits with her. I highly recommend booking a facial or skincare visit with Svetlana. You will be hooked. read more

I'm not someone who write reviews, but Svetlana'a services are too incredible now to share. I started coming to her almost 15 years ago when I was encountering young adult acne. She did an incredible job clearing up my skin, and clearing discoloration. Now she's applying her expert techniques to keep my skin youthful. Svetlana has incredible professionalism, she's very knowledgeable, and incredibly personable. read more

I really enjoy my monthly facials with Svetlana. My skin is always glistening afterwards. The entire treatment is lovely from the natural products, to getting my hands and feet wrapped up in cozy warm mitts after being slathered with moisturizer. Svetlana is fun to talk to and she has a wealth of knowledge about skin and skin care. I have learned so much from her! Definitely recommend her facials! read more
