Best of Palo Alto (continued from previous page)
The Wizard of Repair
Shoe Repair “Cobbler, cobbler, mend my shoe — and my old purse and my ratty belt and every other favorite leather item that I can’t bear to part with.” If that’s your mantra, then Robert Babekian is your man. Proprietor of Midtown Shoe Repair, Babekian has droves of followers who praise his ability to breathe new life into tired Ferragamos and Jimmy Choos. Customers call his prices quite reasonable, to boot. 2796 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto; 650-329-8171.
Skin Care Stars can Photoshop laugh lines away, or request that special filter on the movie-camera lens. Still, it would be nice to have a smooth-looking mug underneath all that Hollywood magic. So if a star swans into Palo Alto, he or she might visit Skin Spirit downtown. Services offered include chemical peels, Botox, microdermabrasion and dermal fillers. 701 Emerson St., Palo Alto; 650-324-9600. skinspirit. com (continued on next page)
Midtown Shoe Repair can work magic on your old shoes Sarah McDowell and Jane Yeh of SkinSpirit, honored for Best Skin Care.
