Loved! Loved! Loved my facial with Leslie today. It was pure bliss. Her manner is gentle and calming. I have had facials before and this one rates as one of the best ever. (My last fabulous facial was also here at Sole, but with Carmen, she too is amazing!) The Aveda aromatherapy is amazing. I usually just go in for my standard cut and color with the kind and talented director Tony, but decided to treat myself to a facial. This could be habit forming! I just had to take a moment to share my great experience today.
Sole salon in Emeryville. Hands down the greatest salon and spa in our area. Well worth the short drive from the “other side” of the tunnel!

I was recently given a gift certificate to Aveda and after searching their salon locations, chose Sole Salon. Before making an appointment, I dropped in first to check out the salon. It was very clean, very pleasantly laid out with the retail section out front, the hair salon in the middle, and the facial rooms at the back and had a very nice ambiance. I saw happy women having their hair styled, chatting nonstop with their stylists (always a good sign) and when I decided to make my appointment, a full appointment calendar (another good sign). I checked to make sure my gift card was redeemable at Sole (it was) and then decided upon their brightening facial.
My appointment was with Leslie, a wonderful, gentle lady who instantly made me feel at ease and comfortable when I walked in. She brought me tea and sat with me for a few minutes to get to know me and ask about which service I had decided on. Leslie also asked about my expectations, something I don’t know any other salon had considered asking. It was a kindness I appreciated, as I hadn’t had a facial in several years and didn’t know how Sole worked. She explained all about the service: hot, relaxing licorice tea, a nice foot rub using Aveda product, then the facial, finished by a nice head-neck-shoulder massage. Leslie then escorted me back to the room for my facial.
It was an hour of bliss. My awareness of what was going on faded and I floated, enjoying the pampering. When I went to make payment on the service, I had a delicious surprise! Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays are discount days and I found my gift card would give me TWO session because of it. I was so happy! I just used my second session yesterday and feel so cared for and pampered.
If you want a relaxing, calm environment with special care taken of you, I suggest you make an appointment with Leslie at Sole Salon. You won’t be disappointed.

I had my first ever facial with Leslie. It was the best experience!! I started with brow/lip waxing, and she was super gentle! The experience was absolutely lovely. I floated away as the aromatherapy and massage happened, and afterwards I was so relaxed and refreshed, I felt as if I had been on vacation. She was very gentle, calming, and sweet. Made an appointment immediately for my next facial with her….My skin looks great and it’s barely one week later. Can’t wait for gorgeous skin in a couple more weeks….Thanks, Leslie!
