I've been debating writing this review for a while. Over the past couple of years, I've had very…read morepositive experiences receiving vitamin shots from Cathy, which is why I decided to come here for Botox for the first time. At 29, I chose to get a small, preventative treatment of 12 units in my 11s. They weren't bad but I did notice some small fine lines and texture appearing. Before my appointment, I did quite a bit of research and came across the possibility of a "spock brow" occurring if the rest of the forehead isn't treated. I brought up this concern during my appointment, since we weren't treating other areas, and was reassured that everyone is different and that it would be an easy fix if it did happen. Unfortunately, I did experience a subtle spock brow, with my right eyebrow lifting slightly higher than the left. I scheduled a follow-up appointment, where I saw the owner. She added 2 units only to the right side of my forehead. I remember feeling like something wasn't right about only treating one side, and my intuition was telling me the same, but I trusted her expertise. I was also charged for the additional Botox to correct the issue, which didn't sit right with me. About a week later, once everything had settled, I noticed the opposite problem. My right brow now appeared droopy while my left was more mobile. When I raised my eyebrows, they looked uneven, with the left side lifting higher than the right. I was honestly so upset and frustrated at this point, so I booked a second follow up to have Botox added to the other side to even it out. During that visit, I saw Eliana. She was kind, but I felt dismissed when it was suggested that my brows may have been asymmetrical to begin with, which was not the case. She even said my right brow (which was now droopy!) was higher due to my brow shape. I even have before photos showing my natural brow symmetry prior to any Botox. She added 1 unit to the left side in an attempt to balance things out, but unfortunately, it didn't make a difference at all. I can't blame Eliana, but rather that the owner put way too much on just one side and made me asymetrical. Rather than going back and 4th time and messing my face up even more, I've decided to wait it out until the Botox wears off. I've uploaded a video of me raising my eyebrows for context. The right brow barely moves at all and the left one goes up and out. This does not look normal. I also want to mention that I had booked a consultation over email at the end of 2025 and was not told there would be a $150 fee. While I take responsibility for not reading the fine print, I was not clearly informed of the cost beforehand. Because of this, I felt pressured to move forward with a service a couple months later just to apply that $150 I spent at the consultation. This has been a really upsetting experience, and I'm now left with uneven brows that I'll have to wait months for the Botox to wear off and be normal again. I truly regret this experience and wish I hadn't gotten Botox done here. It was a waste of money and I feel self conscious every time I have to raise my eyebrows now. I really didn't want to leave a negative review, as I've loved this space for the vitamin shots and everyone has always been so nice when I've come in, however, I feel it's important to share my experience and warn others. In hindsight, it also concerns me that there are no visible before and after photos from the business. I've asked about this in the past and they said they don't do them due to "privacy issues".

During my first appointment, she thoroughly assessed my skin and I trusted her to curate a set of treatments specific to my concerns.

Bushra did a combination of microdermabrasion treatments, extractions, along with hydration masks. My blackheads were bad... and are always bad lol but she took care not to extract for too long so that it doesn't irritate or cause damage to my skin. (I've had other blackhead extractions in the past that literally make me cryyyy but she is so gentle!) Throughout the facial, she's giving facial massages and also gives a neck/shoulder lymphatic. I'm not sure if I'm just overthinking, but my face does seem slimmer and less puffy afterwards. My skin when I left was bright, glowing, and soft! I was so impressed, I ended up buying a package for 3 facials. My second facial was no different! I've had other facials elsewhere where I leave hydrated, but the clearness/redness is unchanged.

I went to this salon a couple weeks ago after a recommendation from my best friend (who goes to Karla) and had my hair done by Amy, and drove all the way from San Francisco to Artistry to make I ended up getting a cut and highlights from Amy. Personality wise, she was okay. She wasnt rude, but not very friendly or welcoming. She seemed distracted, and uninterested in my requests. I started feeling uneasy about my hair as soon as the foil came off. It was nothing like the color I showed her in the picture. But, I figured she is the pro, I'll wait and see how this goes. When my hair was done, I was not very impressed. I gave it a day or 2 to see if maybe the color had to settle, but I was still not pleased. I called the salon and they offered to have me come in and try to fix it, but I opted to pass, because I felt like they were irritated by my concerns. I paid a lot of money and I am really not very impressed. If I do come back to this salon, I will be requesting Karla read more
