After two and a half years of pandemic and early parenthood, I took some time to make myself…read moreartificially better looking a few weeks back, booking my first appointment with microblading expert Gyoungsil Han since 2019. Gyoungsil works out of a small, functional room inside LEEKAJA Hair Bis, the hair salon in the Madang plaza on Wilshire and Western. I've gone to her (and her old partner Lucy, per my previous review) a few times over the years, in two or three different spots, but she seems to have settled here, or has been here, in any case, since before COVID. It's a good spot, and easy to access for customers. The plaza has plentiful garage parking, and I think it's usually free with validation. The entrance is a little confusing, though. I believe it's on Manhattan, and it might only have signs for H Mart. My eyebrows are naturally thin and light, so without significant help, I kind of might as well not have them. Microblading has been a blessing since I first started getting it done in my twenties, and Gyoungsil is my preferred practitioner. I don't know enough about eyebrows to tell her what to do, but every time, she manages to make my brows look just the way I want. She's also great at making the process comfortable and relatively painless, which is not nothing when you're dealing with topical numbing cream and innumerable cuts from a small knife. I probably wouldn't do this if it were a once-a-month thing--it costs $300 before tip (payable through VenMo) and again, it involves a knife on your face--but microblading makes my eyebrows look good for well over a year (and last time, I didn't even bother with the touch-up a month later). I'm grateful that this service exists, and unless my brows stop being sad and wispy, I will remain a loyal Beautyholic customer.

Need eyebrow help? Are you scared of trusting people with…read moreyour sacred eyebrows? Look no further, SHOKO got your brows! I have been going to Shoko for my eye brows for a couple years now, and always recommend her to friends and family for many reasons. I have gotten my eyebrows done by others *ahem* that didn't know what the heck they were doing. I literally have walked out with 4 eye brows instead of 2 because they burned and pulled my skin off with the wax. Shoko has never gave me more eye brows that I wanted. Shoko makes me feel comfortable with all the options I could do with my eye brows. Eye brows are so important, it could make or break your face. Shoko always succeeds at making me look as natural as possible, which is the style I like. She even allowed me to bring my child with me because I don't have any child care help currently. That means the world to me as a new mom.

My first visit to Tami was for brow tinting and shaping. After driving around the building parking…read morearea for a while in the hopes of actually finding her location I finally texted her and got directions and found her beautiful salon on the second floor. Her space is quiet and soothing and impeccably decorated. Tami quickly cleaned up and tinted my brows - I'm fair/blonde/blue-eyed so the color is always a bit tricky - too dark and I'm Clara Delevingne - too light and I'm, well, invisible brow woman. And I wear contacts so my attempts at "grooming" my brows is actually laughable. I've now got "brow style and color" that looks great all the time! I was so pleased with her brow work that I returned for the lash tint/perm - that's right - I went all out! It was definitely a new experience - lash perming! - who knew? But the end result is AMAZING. I've now got some dark long lashes, great brows and am really hoping she can tattoo my lips (just kidding - I think - is that a thing too?!)! I can now put my hair up and roll out the door in less than five minutes. I'm scheduling my ongoing standing appointments now!

I do very little make up because at work I'm covered head to toe and stand 10+ hours everyday besides recovering from a broken ankle so tend to spoil my feet. I just love the holiday BLING!! Love love love it!! So I decided to get a head start before the madness kicks in and did a convenient online booking for 10:30am with Albee and was so excited, it's at a convenient location on Beretania right after One Kalakaua with private parking lot and how can you not get giddy as you enter the pink palace filled with beautiful decor. I waited as Albee I imagined was busy on her phone which I didn't mind and waited a few minutes and as she got started was still on her phone and apologized but I seriously didn't mind as we all are constantly multi tasking in some form which I why I wanted to get this done. I booked a pedi with art so that they're aware and not upset that I changed services or whatever and showed her a couple of inspired pictures and she didn't seemed impressed. I wanted a dark red glittery base with some silver gradient color she said no can't do glitter on glitter and went on to cut my nails without asking...mind you I was growing it for over a month just for this purpose. It was cut SHORT AND CROOKED!! Also nicked my cuticles and painted the ugliest flat red with a fade a five year old would do better. Paid $50 ($45 service + $5 art) and had the nerve if I was gonna leave tip which I did because I believe in that. There was nothing she agreed with me not the color I chose, no glitter polish, no art, she chose the color, no customer service but I certainly guarantee one thing...No Thanks!! Sorry I interrupted your phone call.
