Apart from being so famous this Shine Skin (search 'Shine facial' in Broadsheet / Google / Facebook) + I was also referred here to Sheridan by my best friend. My best friend is a person that is extremely discerning and everything must be top of the pop. I trust her judgement.

Finally Shine moved to Richmond (from Kew which was a pain to travel from and to).

So I took the plunge , booked 'Extraction for new client' online and requested Sheridan (the clinic owner) to do my skin. I was instructed to bring my skincare products so she can advise what and not to use.

To say she's very good is an understatement. She was extremely knowledgeable i.e. explained in detail of all ingredients I should use in a skin product. She advised me which products i should stop and continue using.

She was the only person I can say confidently : a 'skin care specialist' (i.e. not a beautician) that finally able to tell my skin is not oily. My skin is dry. And my skin has a lot of bumps i.e. uneven tone and textures due to thickening skin that I never exfoliated (she was the only one that spotted that - never other 'beauticians')

With other beauticians (i.e. note i don't use the word 'skin specialist') they've been giving me wrong advice and determined incorrectly that my skin type is oily. Hence I was always given wrong products (i.e. drying cleanser, harsh scrub, and flimsy moisturiser). No wonder my skin never felt 'right'.

Sheridan performed facial extraction (without lancets/comedo extractors/ pin needles) with tissues + she recommended me microdermabrasion. She inspired trust the very first time she introduced herself (which is rare especially in the skin treatment industry).

So I said yes. While performing the microdermabrasion, she showed me deposits of my hardened skin. I was highly surprised. After the treatment, I was shocked how smooth (bumpless!) my skin for the first time in MY WHOLE LIFE. I never ever thought my skin could be this smooth and even-textured.

She was a soft spoken person. Friendly, very approachable and no snooty nor snobby vibe (that 'i know more than you since I am a skin expert' tone). She's very personable and extremely lovely to chat with. I thought to myself throughout the treatment (1.15 hrs) 'what a bonus, an expert yet a friendly person'

More importantly, she's not someone who shove on your face with products to sell.

I'm a highly satisfied and return customer. I've already booked (and can't wait!) for my next service (3rd Nov) with Sheridan.

The online booking & confirmation is a bonus too since I hate calling people for bookings!

Note: This business is extremely popular and Sheridan is highly in demand. So you better book in very quick. As future dates very quickly booked out.

Thank you Sheridan. You are a star!

Everyone. Stop wasting your money. Come to Shine. You'll be a customer for life.

Approximate cost: $149

I was about to give up trying to find someone in Melbourne that does facial extractions and then through a blog I read up good reviews on Sheridan. I've now had 2 sessions with her and I am finding my skin is getting better. Like other reviewers say she offers honest, good advice on skin care. She is amazing! Thank you for all your help!

Sheridan offers honest advice, explains things in detail, recommends amazing products and lets you know what products you can continue using at home. She knows exactly what she is doing and provides a holistic service to get you the skin you want. Can't wait for my next appointment.

Initially i was looking for extraction facial but had no luck finding a really good one here in Melbourne. I found Sheridan through a blog and the author recommended Shine Skin and Body as she performs extraction facials. To be honest, it was quite a gambling because if the beautician did not have much experience, it might leave you with scars..big no no. I decided to e-mail her website and she kindly offered me a discount for a first time client. The spa has this clinical yet warm sorta feel, it's very welcoming. She is the one who performs all facials, so you can be sure that you're in good hand. I brought my current skincare and explained all my skin concerns. I agree with other reviewers, she really listens and knows how to deal with skin problems. I would totally recommend her extraction facials (can be slightly uncomfortable but no scars after) combined with chemical peels (short downtime, fresh baby skin few days after), I can swear that my skin has gotten better after 3 sessions even my friends complimented how my skin got better. The facials are reasonably priced considering quality, procedures and the result you will get, just a reminder you still need to do this regularly and have a good skincare. Her skincare line includes Payot, Aspect and LuzernLabs, all are high quality salon exclusive products and since we all have different skin types and concerns, she will be more than happy to tailor your own skincare routine. Other than facials, Shine also offers manicures, waxing and spray tans, so ladies go get pampered!

True her salon's description, a facial with Sheridan at Shine is a professional and enjoyable experience. She really listens, takes a keen interest and adapts her treatments to what you actually need/want (in my case, my first peel and extractions.) I've visited a bunch of prestigious Melbourne salons and this is better. A great find.

I had a facial and what a pamper it was. Sheridan has been very professional and the treatment was amazing. I will be back to her again and I highly recommend her to anyone.

Shine Skin and Body is such a peaceful and special place to spend time getting pampered. I have been a client of Sheridan's for over eight years and consider her the best beauty therapist I have ever been to. Her professional manner, attention to your needs, expert skills and thorough knowledge of beauty and skin always makes me feel confident that I am getting the best treatment for me. Her selection of skin and body treats target every need, her range of products has been meticulously researched to ensure great results, and I am addicted to her streak-free Tuscan Tan spray tans. I would recommend Sheridan and Shine Skin and Body to anyone seeking the very best in professional beauty and skin care.

I have had several treatments now at Shine from pedicures and waxing to facials and massages. I always come out feeling wonderfully pampered. The range of products ensures any need is met and I always feel my treatments are tailored to suit my needs. Sheridan is always professional, up for a chat if you want but happy to let you bask in the pampering if you so desire too. I would definitely recommend Shine to anyone.

Great environment - clean, quiet and relaxing! Had both a facial and waxing done - skin felt great afterwards. Great personalized service, you know you are going to get great results each time - will be a regular visitor to them.

Saw Sheridan yesterday for a facial. Great treatment, the facial massage was amazing. My skin feels great. Will become a regular for sure.
