SkinSpirit

Shelia Anderson is an artist with just the right approach to looking natural. You can tell she is an expert RN with her interpersonal skills and caring. I drive to whichever location Customer service is s great, she’s the reason people will occasionally you look just the same as 10 years ago, what a gift she has given me because I have lots of years of creative work ahead and its important not to be ignored because you’re old!

Love this place! The staff is very friendly, the facials are wonderful, and have greatly improved my skin tone!

I have been visiting SkinSpirit Redmond for a year now and have been exceptionally pleased with their treatments and service. Tina Talerico is a wizard aesthetician. I love her, not only for delivering effective treatments, but I also for her warmth and honesty. Libby Bauman is an artist and her nursing background shows through. She is caring, compassionate and made me feel completely at ease. Challis is gentle, kind and great at what she does. The staff at the front desk are always warm and welcoming.
All together, there is a ton of spirit in this SkinSpirit. I will be visiting them for a long time to come.

I’m getting hitched this July, and figured there was no time like the present to do some pre-​wedding primping. I came here to see Libby and am so glad I did! She is great at what she does and you can feel how much she truly loves her job, which is evident by her perfectionism and how she makes you feel like you’re the only client in the world, or at least the only one she is seeing all day. Great job Libby!

Just had a facial with Challis and she was wonderful! Gentle on the extractions but did what she needed. Explained every product throughly, but not pushy about selling. More of an education. Had read over my health history prior to our appointment, had a plan in mind and left with my skin feeling great! Highly recommend that you go in and see her!

I had a promo coupon for a complimentary facial here (lucky me!) and so, today, I ventured here, to this small but cute and (and super clean) salon. I was fortunately assigned Amanda as my aesthetician. Man, she knows her stuff!
First I was ushered into a treatment room where, thank god, they had a heated, comfortable (i.e., padded) treatment «bed», and puffy, warm bed linens. Already I was in heaven! Wrapped in a plush terry cover, I zoned out while Amanda worked her magic: microdermabrasion, lotions, potions, steam, hot towels, facial and arm massages… seriously, the best facial ever. It lasted an hour and Amanda only spoke when I asked questions.
The product lines here are top-​notch (gentle formulations, non-​irritating, lovely fragrances), and Amanda explained to me the reasons why the dermabrasion machine (or, as I call it, the suctioning vacuum!) was top of the line. I gather they do hair removal and Botox and Latisse here, also.
Looking at the menu of services and their various price points, I find the prices for services here high; that said, I consider this salon to be more then a run-​of-​the-​mill «facial mill» (you know the kind: like the cheap nail salons on every corner, there are also facial salons all over that offer inexpensive facials and other spa services). Unlike these commonplace facial mills, this place is more of a medically-​based skincare salon. The company has sites in both Washington and California and both teams are led by medical physicians and have staffs that include nurses and ARNPs. I wouldn’t worry about not getting excellent skincare treatment here at all; aestheticians are incredibly trained.
I loved my facial here! And I really appreciated how there was no pressure at all to purchase products (the topic wasn’t even broached) or to book future sessions (I was asked at check-​out and simply said I’d have to see when I could return). I would not hesitate to return; I just would have to budget for it. But if I had any skin issues that I felt needed regular attention, this would definitely be the place to come to.

Had an amazing facial with Challis. She was so nice, gentle caring and informative. I could tell she know and love what she’s doing. Great experience.

I can’t say enough great things about Tina Talerico! She the best esthetician! Her passion and magical touch is unforgettable. She is always up to date with the latest and greatest skin care. Whether you’re getting a facial or a laser treatment she will talk you through it and let you know what’s coming next. Tina is extremely thorough and always goes above and beyond to give you the best treatment! She is knowledgeable, professional, and honest! I always leave satisfied and can’t wait for my next treatment! I highly recommend Tina! She’s amazing!

I had been here a few times for a facial when it was Calidora. Facials were on the expensive side (around $ 110) but I felt like they did a good job so it was worth it. When I went back recently I paid $ 178 with tip. Are you kidding me? This was a regular facial with no add ons. You can have an amazing spa experience at a fancy hotel for that price. A friend told me they offer a discount to first time customers, however this was never offered to me when I checked out. If you need me I will be at the Four Seasons downtown getting pampered for my beauty breaks.

I saw Libbey for Botox and I’m so happy about my results I dont even care if people know I got it! After having a baby I needed to look refreshed and she really helped me out. She had objective suggestions and provided me with an awesome outcome. You can tell she loves her work cuz she even wanted to touch up an area that would ultimately make me even happier! Anyway, I strongly suggest her if you’re thinking about this service-​you won’t regret it! The gals in the front are always awesome warm and professional too!

i usually get a facial about every six months or so, but it has been awhile since my last one. tina talerico did my facial and it was very relaxing and she made me aware of what she was going to be doing next and made me feel comfortable the whole time. with some facials i have had redness or even broke out the next day but the facial i received from tina at skin spirit my skin was glowing and no breakout! everyone at the clinic/​spa was very friendly and you feel welcomed in right away. the colors, atmosphere, and cleaniness are all calming and inviting. a really great experience… thank you.

I’ve been doing IPL treatments for 12+ years and recently went to see Kevan for my annual maintenance treatment. Kevan is a true professional. He is really knowledgeable and gave me an excellent treatment. Over the years I can tell when a provider takes shortcuts and doesn’t use the laser properly. Kevan did a great job and he is so personable! I highly recommend him.

Super awesome place to get your all skincare needs attended to. Tina Talerico is a wonderful master aesthetician. Go see her immediately! She can do medical grade facials, micro-​penning, chemical peels, and laser hair removal.

If you want to see a dramatic change to your overall skin’s texture and tone, you have to get the TCA peel from Tina! I did the TCA level 2 peels three times and it’s incredible. I’ve had numerous treatments, but this is by far my favorite. Book a TCA peel with Tina — it’s well worth the price and your skin with thank you, I promise!

I cannt say enough positive things about this place. I had my first appointment about 5 months ago with Tina Talerico. I wasn’t really familiar with any of the aestheticians there, and was assigned to her based on availability. Little did I know, this would be a match made in heaven.
At my first appointment, I got a Signature Facial. Tina was patient, hospitable, and and took the time to educate me about the procedure, and proper at-​home care (i.e., diet, products. etc). I definitely came out knowing more than I did before. Since then, I have gotten a few more facials, and one Vi Peel. I continue to see results, and have never been happier with my skin!
I’ll be honest and say that learning about and experiencing so many new procedures was scary. But Tina did an amazing job at walking me through everything.
As a person who has tried almost every product, and method under the sun for acne, I highly recommend going to SkinSpirit, because what they do, works.

Kevin is amazing!!! Always so kind and so professional and awesome at what he does. Makes you feel special every time! Redmond Skin Spirit is the place to go!!! Thank you Kevin for continuing to be amazing!!!

Shelly is a wonderful esthetician and such a sweet person! She is very detail orientated and knows what she’s talking about! I’ve always done the «spa facials» and never felt like it made a difference, So I checked out a medical clinic and I am obsessed with the results! Thank you so much I can’t wait to go back.

I’ve been to Skin Spirit at University Village and Redmond and both have a high level of customer service and professionalism.
My biggest beauty secret is Shelley Sparker. I’ve been getting monthly facials from her for a number of years. She is makes me look my very best. Shelley is a highly experienced professional and has educated me on skin care.
I’ve recommended Shelley to friends who’ve also become faithful clients.

I’ve moved this review from the former clinic name, Calidora, as much of the staff is the same and if anything, the clinic is even better under the new ownership.

I can’t recommend the Redmond Calidora enough. The entire staff is top-​notch — they remember you by name and go above and beyond to accommodate your needs. They are all very well educated on the entire array of services and products and recommend cost-​effective and appropriate treatments to address your concerns. The products they suggest are top quality and I never feel uncomfortable if I prefer not to purchase them (though I have tried several and been pleased with the results).
I originally came in for a Groupon deal, but I was so impressed by the staff that I couldn’t help but continue coming in for additional services. I see both Kevin and Tina.
Kevin is amazing — he makes you feel at ease immediately. He’s incredibly talented, honest about what he thinks you need without overselling a bunch of services you don’t. He goes out of his way to squeeze you in or make a little extra time when your appointment goes unplanned.
Tina is an absolute sweetheart. She has so much passion for her craft. I get regular monthly facials from Tina and I can honestly say it’s one the highlights of my month. Her facials are the only facials I’ve had where I can see real results. She meticulously performs extractions until she’s completely satisfied and not a bump or blemish remains on your face. Her gentle but firm approach to skincare has made dramatic improvements to my texture, evenness, and breakouts.
I could write a book on all of my fabulous experiences at Redmond Calidora. Hats off to the store manager, Blanca, for leading a team of so clearly happy and genuine people.
To sum it up — this clinic is pretty much the best out there. If you’re looking for outstanding results in an environment that makes you feel great and has you leaving with a smile on your face — give them a call.

WOW!!! Skin spirit in Redmond is a dream come true! From the moment I walked through the doors I was impressed by the professionalism and friendliness of the staff, the beautiful office décor and the vast array of skincare products available for home use.
The clinic manager, Blanca Gutierrez is absolutely incredible to work with. She knew just what treatments and skin care products I needed to improve the look of my skin and decrease those dreaded wrinkles!
Blanca introduced me to Kevan, one of the awesome Nurse Injectors that provide treatments in the clinic. Kevan is fabulous at what he does! Kevan did a treatment with Botox to virtually erase my wrinkles. I liked the look so much that I had a treatment where he placed a filler in my cheekbone area to give me the cheekbones I’ve always dreamed about. The treatments were very comfortable and I have been so very happy with my new look. When I look in the mirror, I can’t believe how great I look now!
Blanca recommended products to help my skin stay young looking. I have never had a skin care routine before, and she kept it simple, recommending the basic products that not only clean and moisturize my skin, but smell great and are very affordable as well. Blanca is not only the clinic manager, but an esthetician herself, and has a great «eye» for what my skin needed. She has such beautiful skin herself, so she knows what she’s doing!
I look years younger because of Blanca and Kevan’s expertise, and I’m so grateful to have found this clinic! People tell me all the time I look like I’m 35 years old and cannot believe it when I tell them I’m almost 51 years old!
I love Skin Spirit in Redmond! I highly recommend this clinic for everyone! They go out of their way to make you comfortable and treat you like royalty!
A very satisfied client ~
