There's so many options for gifts from makeup to cute capybara keychains! I love their totes as well! So many gadgets to choose from.

Customer service is amazing and the atmosphere is really welcoming! The store is kept really tidy and clean as well. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

As soon as you walk in, you'll see an assortment of shelves and glass cases of San Rio products, you won't be disappointed! Takes me back to my younger years or when I was in elementary and all we fussed over were the San Rio characters (grew up in Milpitas, CA). Anyhow, I also recall seeing some facial products from Korea at this store. If you have some free time, it'd be worth checking this spot out, you'd never know what you'll end up finding that you never knew was needed. Plus the ladies working the register are extremely ice and accommodating (they wrap up your purchase on gift paper and bag if f you mention the purchase is a gift).

They used to be down a bit further in the shopping center, but since moving here they've added new products. It's fun to walk around the store and look at all of the different ways to make your happy a little happier. In the skincare area you'll see familiar names like Origins, but also Ulta brand products that offer great results for a little less than the brands. Hair care and makeup are probably their biggest sellers with rows upon rows of glamour and goop to help make you feel your best. The employees are all hard working and nice. Sometimes they'll have reps giving out free samples, which I love since it's always nice to try before you buy. There's plenty of parking and a user friendly entrance for all the needs.

It also prevents your customers from feeling stupid for waiting for restrooms to free up. Even better, when customers enter the store and ask a staff member if they may use the restroom, have your staff reply back that restrooms are "out of order." Otherwise, when staff says, "yes," that implies restrooms are open.

I previously had Elsa as my hair stylist for many year. We would chit-chat and sometimes it would…read morecome out perfect but it was always at least a B salon experience. That is, until the last time I went to her. This was a few days before my brothers wedding, and I wanted to get my light brown hair bleached (just touch-ups as my ends were already vivid) so I could apply some vivid color for for the wedding. After applying the bleach, she directed me to the drying chair for processing, while she did other stuff. I sat under the hood for almost 30 minutes without her even checking on me, or her being within reasonable earshot to even ask her if my hair was light enough. When she returned, she took me over to the wash area and washed my hair out. Then used a regular, plastic comb to comb out where the beach had been (all over my head). I could hear the hair ripping, but at this point it was too late. She finished combing out my hair and then blowdried it trying her best to smooth my hair out, which worked enough that I didn't notice how broken my hair was until I got home. The pieces framing my face along with other piece were so broken, they were 2-3 inches long and pin straight. I was absolutely devastated. I messaged Elsa and told her that she broke my hair. She did not apologize, she did not take accountability for what she had done, all she did was send me a link to a hair mask from Amazon. This is not the first time she has done this type of re-bleach on my hair. She has been bleaching my hair in various ways since I was a teenager. But it was the last. It was so heartbreaking to know that I was going to have to go to my brothers wedding with broken hair. And she didnt even offer an "Im sorry".

This is a review of the hair "salon" service in back of the retail store…read more I opted for this place as I'd shopped in the store and used the salon waxing services in the past and had positive experiences. I needed a quick root touch up and it was low cost (about half of a typical salon's price). I learned a harsh lesson in "you get what you pay for." I requested a simple root touch-up to cover my gray roots, explicitly instructing the stylist, Elsa, to preserve my blonde balayage. Instead, she applied a dark brown color and pulled it thru covering my entire head, ruining the balayage and turning my hair a dull brown. This was an amateur mistake, as I've done root touch-ups at home without affecting the rest of my hair. When I asked for face-framing highlights to add warmth to address the darkened hair, I received orange (yes they were burnt orange- thin and patchy) highlights and only placed on top of my head (vs around the face). The trim was also super uneven, compounding the poor service. This was a total disaster and a frustrating experience that ruined my hair -requiring me to completely start all over. I strongly advise against any hair service.

I ended up here because I bought a Groupon for an eyelash perm. It was a bit out of the way (I live…read morein Oakland), but a great price so I went for it. I'd expected a more typical salon, but I was delighted to find that the entire first floor is dedicated to imported Asian beauty products. In the couple minutes before my appointment, I was finally able to test the Biore Water Essence 50+ SPF I've been wanting to try for a while (I bought it). Right at my appointment time, I was led upstairs and the attendant made sure I had a second to use the restroom (the perm would take about 40 mins). So I went to the bathroom and changed into my glasses, then went into a semi-private room where the attendant laid me down on a futon-like bed (and even gave me a comforter!) She applied this little plastic contraption to each of my eyes, applied the perm solution, and left me to sit for about 20 mins with some fun and relaxing music in the background. Then she came back, removed the first contraption, applied a little eyelash serum, put another contraption on my eye, then some more perm solution and left me for another 20 minutes. In those 40 minutes, I got two quick naps in and also got some REALLY curled eyelashes. The only thing that could have been cool was if they had a tint to make my eyelashes darker -- kill two birds with one stone, ya know? This seems to be a typical service at other eyelash perm places I've looked at. However, I also know that the way they do your lashes at Dazzling is a little different so it's possible that the mechanism they're using wouldn't support a dye, too. I'll definitely be back (I got the 2-pack Groupon), and next time I'll be staying to try out a couple more products! The only con: a little hard to find. My GPS took me to the wrong shopping center. Wondering if they were potentially at a different location before? But using the actual street address instead of searching for Dazzling in Google Maps fixed that problem and it was only a 2 minute walk away!

I wish this was closer by my house. BUT, good news is that they are going to move their store over to Millbrae which is great because I work right there!! Yay!!
