Loved our experience! Valeria was very patient with my numerous questions, honestly told me which…read moreproducts work specifically for my skin, and shared her experience using different shades that are suitable for me. So it didn't feel salesy. She very professionally helped test the products on my skin. The best consultant in terms of professionalism, not just kindness.

Eileen is, without exaggeration, one of the most incredible hairstylists and people you will ever…read moremeet. From the second you sit in her chair, you can tell she genuinely cares about her clients. She's extremely personable, welcoming, and such a great conversationalist that time flies during every appointment. She has this rare ability to make you feel comfortable, heard, and valued all at once. Beyond her professional talent, she is just an overall fantastic human being -- kind, genuine, and someone who truly loves what she does. I'm 21 years old, and despite our age gap, I always have the best conversations with her. You can talk to her about anything, and she even gives amazing life advice when you need it. She truly is the sweetest person inside and out. It's very rare nowadays to come across someone you can build a genuine friendship with like that, especially in a professional setting, but that's exactly who she is. Every visit feels like catching up with someone who wants to see you succeed and feel confident. On top of that, her work is absolutely unmatched. Eileen gives the most amazing haircuts and is incredibly thorough with everything she does. She takes her time to understand exactly what you want, pays attention to every detail, and always gives the best recommendations tailored specifically to you. She never rushes, never cuts corners, and always makes sure you leave feeling better than when you walked in. Her dedication to her craft is obvious, and her results speak for themselves. If you ever hear anything less than glowing feedback, it's probably not the best perspective to rely on, because she consistently gives her absolute best to every single client. She truly pours her heart into her work, and it shows in the results she delivers and the relationships she builds. Please go support her -- she deserves to have her own business because of how talented, dedicated, and caring she is. If you get the chance to book with her, do it. You will not regret it.

From the moment I walked in, a staff member who was helping another customer made sure to greet me right away, and another team member was already coming from the back to assist me. I really appreciated that level of care. Team member Amanda was very friendly, and took the time to understand my preferences, and needs before making recommendations. She talked me through what would work best for me in a way that felt knowledgeable, genuine, and not pushy. I did end up buying an additional item, but only because it felt like the right fit. I love Benefit Cosmetics, and this location truly has a boutique feel with professionals who understand beauty, care, and customer service. Five stars all the way! *****

The final straw -- no one called me to tell me Brianna was calling out so I showed up Sunday when they first opened to an appointment that could not be fulfilled. The team in store who I talked to about it was super disrespectful and didn't care. The guy who did my eyebrow wax did a bad job and asked me if I wanted the area in the middle of my eyebrows waxed (isn't that standard?). Waste of time.

The products are organic and are locally crafted by herbalist Shalimar Luciano. If you love Provence, herbs and natural healing you must come here. I firmly believe essential oils, in particular the combinations that Shalimar has carefully formulated can lift the spirit and improve your life and health. We begin our day with Shalimar's rose petal mist, energize and refresh midday with mint- then relax with a calming lavender pillow and essential oils. I am forever changed and so grateful for the knowledge Shalimar has so generously shared with my family.

I remember when it used to actually be a store for beauty products but I was so confused as to whether I had come to the right place when I recently stepped in to find that about 75% of the store was lined with stuffed animals, toys, even a toy claw machine type thing. Even Marukai the grocery store not far from here has a better skincare product selection than Make Asobi now does. ____
