I can't say enough good things about Lisa and Kimber Esthetics. I found Lisa through Yelp after…read moreturning 30 and deciding I needed a leader/helper/expert about my skin. I had never taken care of my skin consistently, but I know if I don't want a face lift in 20 years I have to get on it now. I've had three facials over the course of about eight weeks and it's *insane* how good my skin looks. When I came in, I had a ton of little-used product at home. Lisa sat down with me and sorted through what I had, talked to me about what to use when, why, and encouraged me to finish using the product I had paid for before switching to SkinCeuticals if that's what I wanted to do (she said it was fine if I wanted to keep using the over the counter stuff, too). I started her recommended regimen and gradually added a few new products after using up the things I already had. Last week, even my husband commented he noticed an improvement in my skin's appearance. Not only does Lisa provide skilled, professional service, but she's a genuine, warm, and sweet person. She's always professional, but I feel like I'm going to see a friend. She takes the time to thoroughly answer all my questions and educate me on what's happening to my skin, why it's happening, what I can do about it, and what to expect. Bonus? During every facial, Lisa rubs my feet, arms, and hands as part of the service while waiting for some of the masks and whatnot that need time to work. With how good my skin looks, I'd think she was great even without it. But having it be a part of the facial makes me love seeing her even more. I would absolutely recommend Lisa and Kimber Esthetics to anyone. She does great work!

I had the best brow wax I've ever had on Saturday at Kimber Esthetics - Seriously. Somehow my…read moresomewhat thin brows look fuller and more lush after the wax! Magical. Lisa took the time and paid the attention that is necessary for a top-notch brow wax, and they look spectacular. This wasn't just a slather and yank type wax, she trimmed, tweezed, powdered, waxed and tweezed again. I'm going back for a facial in November and can't wait to have that much detail paid to my skin. Her space is also super cute. It has a great boutique-y feel housed in a zen-like building. Bonus! ***UPDATE**** Just got my first facial from Lisa and I'm very happy with not only the results (thank you Lisa for the extractions and for zapping my zit), but also with the very Professional and attentive service she provided. I'm excited to continue the relationship in our (we are a team!) joint goal of slowing the inevitable aging of my skin. And of zapping more zits...it's so fulfilling! ;)

I had several troubles contacting them at first in order to receive a contract and put down a deposit, which was very frustrating in the moment. But once everything was finally sorted out I later had a bridal trial and then it was the big day! They traveled to a hair salon close to our venue in order to do my bridal party's makeup and hair simultaneously, but they would probably travel anywhere! They were on time, cleaned up all their supplies, and were very appreciative to their salon staff for using their space. I found their pricing fairly reasonable for bridal makeup services and I especially liked how the tip was included in the total price for both my trial and our day-of makeup services. My bridal party was pretty impressed and everything went very smooth the day of.

Yesterday was my birthday and this is how a $168 gift to myself turned into a complete failure…read more I had an eyelash extensions appointment with a different salon that was unexpectedly canceled last minute, therefore leaving me to call around town to find someone who could fit me in on such a short notice. I was able to connect with Jori (the owner) at roughly 1PM and was scheduled with Brier (the stylist) by 4PM. The service took roughly three hours to complete and this is the completed work.... I am astonished that my service turned out to be so horrible when a reviewer below had the same work done, by the same stylist, and had better results. The eyelashes were promptly removed this morning by a different salon because they were beyond repairing without starting over again. I believe I am making a reasonable/accommodation by request a refund for the cost of the service and allowing the stylist to keep the 20% tip for the products used. However, the owner disagrees and believes that I should be sympathetic to the stylist because she was able to accommodate me on a special occasion (as if I wasn't paying for service to be done) who is a contracted employee who rents out space in the salon. Lastly, the owner said I should accept a partial refund due the scarce amount of customers booking appointments due to the COVID pandemic. Additionally, the owner offered to give me the refund I am request in a form of a gift card to the salon to be used for other services but again, that is impractical given that I do not plan to return. I also find it unprofessional that Jori has stopped responding back to my messages to completely rectify the situation at hand. If you wish to get quality eyelashes done, I do not recommend Blush Beauty Room. (PS the last photo is the service/style of lash extension I as hoping to receive.) UPDATE: I stopped by the salon today to dispute the service in person and I received a full refund! Jori stopped responding back to my text messages (picture attached below) and this was the only option I was left with. Since she was servicing another client I offered to sell them the gift card instead to receive the refund back in cash to which she declined and directly refunded me instead. I will NEVER be coming back and I will NEVER recommend this place to anyone. Also, she told me in person that she already reported this google review because it was false (pictures and text messages don't lie) and cursed me out as I was leaving... do better!!

I had high hopes for this appointment but left feeling frustrated and disappointed. I came in with…read moreclear expectations and reference photos, specifically requesting natural-looking lash extensions. Unfortunately, the final result was the complete opposite of what I asked for. The lashes I received were dramatically thick and unnatural-looking - honestly, I was shocked when I saw the mirror. Despite showing pictures and clearly communicating my desired look, the technician seemed to apply her own vision rather than listening to what I wanted. The technique used appears better suited for clients seeking a bold, dramatic lash look rather than the natural enhancement I was after. Beyond the disappointing results, the overall experience felt unprofessional. The technician's demeanor was condescending, and she repeatedly complained about my skin being "too oily," which made me uncomfortable during what should have been a relaxing service. The way she applied and removed the tape around my eyes was harsh and painful- completely different from the gentle, careful approach I've experienced with other lash technicians. Instead of the relaxing experience lash appointments usually are, this felt rough and unpleasant. If you're looking for natural, subtle lash extensions that enhance your natural features, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. This salon may work for those wanting a more dramatic lash style, but they clearly don't cater well to clients seeking a natural look. **In response to the lash technician's reply on google:** I was never told initially when I requested a natural look that you don't offer 1:1 classic lash extensions or couldn't achieve the look I wanted based on the images I provided. You only mentioned this after finishing my lashes, and you only tried to fix my lashes when I gave feedback with concern multiple times that my lashes looked way too full and dramatic. You never offered to fix my lashes to make them less full--it was only after I gave feedback asking if there was a way to make them less dramatic and if it was possible to remove some. **Your response was: "You're asking me if it's okay to remove your lashes?" with an attitude, and you said I booked a voluminous lash set. When did you ever mention that during the consultation when I clearly asked for a natural look with pictures? You didn't say that my request for a 'natural' look isn't achievable with your technique. If only you had mentioned that booking a classic full voluminous set wouldn't achieve the natural look I wanted and offered a different technique or attempted a different lash set, instead of ignoring my requests and confidently saying you could achieve the look I wanted based on the two pictures I showed you. I clearly said, "As long as my lashes look like either of these," for example.** Normally, during the initial consultation, lash technicians clearly explain what they can and cannot achieve. You said "I know what I'm doing" when I was explaining that I wanted a NATURAL look with clear pictures for example.

I decided I was going with Ally. In my excitement, I missed the "time zone" selection which totally botched the booking and as a result we showed up for my mom's appointment two hours early. I also wasn't able to stay or return before I had to leave town. Ally went above and beyond to help me reschedule for next time I was visiting even though it was my mistake (and wasn't the nicest about it before realizing it totally was). I returned to California and we kept in communication. I gave her my travel dates for return to MN and she opened a spot for me to book through her online calendar. This time, I got it right and we got my mom in. I already knew Ally would do a great job, but she also brought tears to my mother's eyes with how great they turned out. Ally took time with her to make sure she liked everything about them: shape, color, thickness, etc. I'd like to also note how cool Highbrow Studio is. Parking and the building are easy to find. I love that it's in a historical neighborhood and how Ally has designed the interior is modern and inviting. Highly recommend!
