Amore Skincare by Wendy, Emeryville: Esthetician, Facials and Prices (2026)

Amore Skincare by Wendy is a one-esthetician facial studio inside Salon Republic at Bay Street in Emeryville, serving clients from Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco and the wider East Bay. Its menu lists 9 facials, from $135 to $295. This profile covers who runs it, what each treatment is for, and how to choose one.

Who is Wendy?

According to her website, Wendy began her esthetics career in 2011 and graduated at the top of her class at The San Francisco Institute of Esthetics and Cosmetology. She then worked at Burke Williams Day Spa in San Francisco for over a decade, and opened her own practice after the Covid shutdown. She describes herself as a licensed esthetician with 15 years of experience, focused on corrective treatments, anti-aging and skin barrier repair, and on working with all skin types and skin tones.

Her approach, as she describes it, is a long-term plan: each facial is paired with a home care routine, and treatments are adjusted at each visit.

The full menu

Which facial fits which concern

First facial, or not sure what you need. The Amore Glow Begins Facial ($135, 1 hr) is her introductory treatment: a double cleanse, a gentle enzyme or peel, an acupressure massage, light extractions and a mask under steam. For a longer custom session, Esthetician's Choice is a 90 or 100-minute slot, from $195, where she assesses your skin on the day.

Breakouts and clogged pores. The Clarifying Acne Facial ($195, 1 hr 40 min) focuses on deep cleansing and extractions, with blue LED and high frequency, a customized peel and a clarifying mask. It treats the chest as well as the face.

Dry or sensitized skin. The Skin Barrier Renewal Facial with PDRN ($195, 1 hr 30 min) uses salmon-derived PDRN with growth factors and peptides, a gentle exfoliation, an acupressure massage and a Korean PDRN mask.

Texture, fine lines and pigmentation. The 4-Layer Resurfacing Facial ($160, 1 hr) layers AHAs, BHAs and enzymes. The Regenerate & Renewal Nano Infusion Facial ($265) and the Spicule Liquid Micro-Needling Facial with PDRN ($265) go further, using nano-infusion or spicules to push serums deeper.

Lifting and firming. The Revita Lift & Glow Microcurrent Therapy Facial ($235) uses microcurrent with a customized peel and a vitamin C mask. The Hevatox Advanced Skin Tightening Korean Facial ($295) is her most involved treatment, combining a topical neurotoxin and topical filler with plasma, LED, microcurrent, nano-infusion and ultrasound, finished with a 24K gold sheet mask. It is needle-free.

Six of the nine facials include LED light therapy: red light in the anti-aging and barrier facials, blue light in the acne facial.

Before you book

Tell the esthetician about any medications (especially isotretinoin or prescription retinoids), recent peels or laser treatments, active infections, allergies and pregnancy before you book. A facial is not a substitute for a dermatologist if you have a skin condition that needs medical care.
