Sf Skincare

I've been a client of Shari's since 2003. I visit her every month for skin papering and for the great conversation. Shari is not only a top-notch esthetician, but she's also one of the funniest, inviting individuals I've ever encountered. A trip to PHSC is like a girls night out with your best friend. Shari takes time explaining her products and procedures and she is very personable. No one touches my face, but Shari. I'm a client for life! more

I've battled skin issues for about 14 years and have spent countless dollars on facials and products (Rx and OTC) in an attempt to resolve them. It wasn't until I started seeing Shari a year ago that my skin started to turn around, and I haven't looked back since. Shari's facials have seriously transformed my skin. She's extremely knowledgeable and has worked diligently to help me select the correct treatments for my skin, and I've been able to pare down my routine to a few products that are actually effective. Not to mention Shari's personality and sense of humor just make her a lot of fun to be around - it's like hanging out with your friend. If you've been searching the Bay Area for an effective facial goes beyond nice smelling creams and actually delivers results, Shari is definitely the one! Pros: friendly, knowledgeable, effective products/techniques more

Having achieved A Certain Age, I get boatloads of compliments on how my head has weathered--all because of Shari's TLC. Shari also has an uncanny knack for knowing what products and treatments will work best for each client.

I've been going there since her first week on the job--and will be with her last. Make a resolution to get healthy skin.

Let me tell you how I converted and became a devotee of Pacific Heights Skin Care: I had the amazing fortune of meeting Shari 9 years ago. Up until then I was the typical, anxiety ridden woman without a clue on how to take care of her skin. I tried every OTC product Walgreens carried, no luck. I then made the foolish mistake of wasting money on "miracle" lotions and potions carried by department stores, all to no avail. In comes Shari Spakes. She was featured in Allure magazine, checked her out, and was sold on day one. Since my first visit I now have the skin to prove that Shari is the absolute best. My skin is completely clear with the healthy glow only a great skin care regimen can provide. If Shari doesn't give it to me, it does not go on my face! GO TO SHARI! She is the best person you could ever meet and an absolute professional. She tailors her treatments to your skin and body's needs; nothing more, nothing less. All in all, Shari is the bona-fide esthetician for making that ever elusive beautiful skin become a reality. She certainly did it for me. Pros: Facials, Results, Customer Service, Products more

I cannot believe how amazing Shari is! If anyone has delt with troubled skin, you know how completely frustrating & upsetting it is deal with. For the past 9 years, I have bought many, many, many skincare lines, there is, tried three different estheticians, had monthly regular facials, drank gallons of water, washed my face day & night, took vitmains, did all the research online, and changed my diet & increased my exercise to help my skin. When none of that worked, I went to two different dermatologists including Kathy Fields who is the co-founder of Proactiv. Nothing seemed to work or eliminate my problemed skin and to think I have much money I have spent on my skin, I can probably put a major down payment on a car! When I first went to made an appt w/ Shari, I felt like, here we go, another new esthetician who is going to tell me that she can help my skin & it will be the same results and I will still suffer with my skin. Well, it is truly amazing to see the transformation that Shari has done on me. For the first time in 9 years, I am excited to pull my hair out of my face & smile for pictures. Shari has completely changed my skin and everyone around me is noticing. I laugh when people ask me what I do to have such nice skin. I've only been going to Shari for THREE visits but already there is a dramatic change. To top it all off, Shari is sweet, fun & her treatments are always enjoyable. I recommend her to the highest degree!! I am blessed by Shari and after nine years am finally happy with my skin!! Pros: Everything Cons: Nothing more

I cant believe the care I recieved from Dr. Ducey. Truely the best chiropractic adjustment I have ever recieved and I have seen chiropractors since I was 3 years old... now 40+. Bed side manner, office staff, quality of office and equipment, and the treatment was perfect, my pain is gone. thanks Dr. D. Pros: Dr. Duceys nature and expert care Cons: sorry, none! more

No one told me that I had an alternative to antibiotics for my son's ear infections! After 2 "adjustments" in one day, my then-toddler's ear infection was gone WITHOUT our usual 7 days of the awful liquid antibiotic that I had to wrestle down him since he was inclined to get ear infections. More in the last few years, he only had one recurrence (as opposed to the 7 he had in his first year!) When kids in his class are dropping like flies with illnesses, my child is fine. I feel it's thanks to his healthy immune system from regular care from our family chiropractor. Being a dad himself, Dr. Ducey is a caring, gentle and talented doctor for the whole family (yes, babies too!) I knew he was a good chiropractor for me, but having him treat the whole family is a plus! Pros: Immediate results, great value-no gimmicks, Cons: meter parking, Why doesn't my insurance cover more?? more

Simply put, if you want outstanding skin care, Shari is the best. I've had a number of skin care "experiences" over the years, like adult onset acne and recovering from the after-effects of chemical peels and laser treatments. Shari has come to the rescue every time, in addition to regularly keeping my skin nourished, clear and glowing. Her product knowledge is fantastic as well. I've tried other aestheticians in the past, and all I ever ended up with was a slathering on of random products with no results and a lighter wallet. Now, my skin is gorgeous. I would like to tell people it's genetic, but it's really Shari. Pros: great skin, relaxing atmosphere, cool music more

A caring chiropractor who is informed and intelligent. I walk a little taller whenever I leave him, and because he takes my insurance, my wallet is not too much lighter. Pros: Great effective service Cons: Have had to wait a bit at times more
