JILL is a, is THE brow goddess! I am fairly new to LA and have tried many waxing places specifically for eye brows and no one compares to her! (See my review of Anastasia Beverly Hills) She is so gentle and uses products that actually help your skin repair and nourish. She is patient and precise, making sure she sculpts your brows to perfection! 100/10 read more

I've been getting my eyebrows done here for the past 15+ years. Jill knows what she is doing. She listens to what you want and is so knowledgeable. I wouldn't trust anyone else with eyebrows. Plus great service all around! read more

Before I found Jill I used to go to random people with no real credentials and have had every type of bad brow imaginable. I've had the ever so popular sperm shaped eyebrow, when an esthetician tweezes almost all of the arch and leaves it bushy towards the middle of the face. I've had the line-brow, which is as unattractive as it sounds. And I've also had horribly uneven brows which cannot even be justified. If people learn best through their mistakes, then I must be some sort of expert in the field of finding a good brow stylist. Anyway, I found Jill. And She is a joy. Even though I probably only see her once every six months, she always asks about my mother and my family and seems to mention things discussed in our previous sessions that I don't even remember telling her! But the real reason I used to drive an hour and a half to see her and still remain faithful to Jill (In spite of the price increases) is because I know she is amazing. When I leave, my eyebrows are so neat and she manages to make arches out of nothing! Her styling really frames the face and is very flattering. I do not leave with burn marks above my eyes from too hot wax and I have really never had a bad experience. One time, a woman told me that she flew all the way from TEXAS to get her eyebrows done by Jill! On a side note. The German Meat Market is right across the street (towards the east) and they have seriously amazing Weisswusrt and ham. They also make amazing sandwiches. read more

Uni-brows, unruly-brows, overplucked/waxed-brows have found their refuge at Cara Bella. Jill, the brow specialist, is awesome. She's another constant when I do my beauty rounds in LA. Found her about 5years ago too (wow, that was a good year for me :)). She used to set up shop within a salon, but has recently staked out her own place, Cara Bella. And like the name entails, that's what you'll leave it! She's a whiz at accentuating your brows so that they frame you naturally. Once you start, you can't stop. read more

Jill is the best. I was very excited a few years ago when Jill opened her own store with her lovely friend Nicole -- they are so sweet. Bella Cara is adorable, chic and convenient. In addition to leaving with perfectly groomed eyebrows, I have also bought delicious smelling candles and little gifts from Bella Cara. Jill will happily tweeze me instead of wax when needed, and even remembers to ask if I need to be tweezed if it slips my mind. $35 is worth it. There is street parking. Jill has always been so considerate -- from gladly changing my appointment whenever possible if I messed up the timing, to offering to put a little cover-up above my brows if it is red and I have somewhere to go. But the most important part is the expertly shaped eyebrows, shaped to fit my face. Call and make an appointment. read more

I just got home from having my brows shaped by Jill! So I've never had my brows done before, they're not unruly, hairy, or anything--I just felt like they were very "blah" and had no shape so I wanted to try having them shaped. I've read and heard about horror stories about girls getting their entire brows waxed off, irritating wax, "sperm-shaped" brows so I wanted to go to a professional to avoid any mishaps. I was nervous because I didn't want anything too dramatic. Jill was great! As soon as I walked in she was really welcoming and sweet. I felt comfortable instantly. She made sure to talk to me about what she was going to do and that she wasn't going to freak me out by doing them too thin. I don't have that much hair to work with up there anyway so she told me that nothing too dramatic could be done anyway which I was totally ok with! She only tweezed, no wax which was nice because I have sensitive skin. She tweezed really fast so it was over SO quick! I was amazed! It was nice too because we talked the whole time she tweezed so it was over before I knew it! All in all I had a great experience there! She was so nice, did a wonderful job, and the boutique was very cute! I look much more awake now haha thanks Jill! =] It's expensive if you are used to going to sketchy places but for her expertise and the results I got it was definitely worth $35 plus tip. I'll definitely be going back when it's time! =] read more

This review is for spray tan only: This was my 1st spray tanning experience and it was a good one! I found the salon through Yelp, and am very pleased with my choice. This was a personalized spray tan and the lady (not sure of her name) was extremely professional, made me feel comfortable instantly, and walked me through exactly what I should do. My tan, surprisingly, actually lasted about 10 days. I thought there was no way it would last that long, but it really did! It wasn't a scam! I followed all the directions they gave me to enhance the tan and it did make it last long. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the tanning room itself seemed a little dirty. I understand spray tanning is a VERY messy business, and because I've never tanned elsewhere, I don't really know the standards of what a clean room should look like. I just know that I got that feeling of, "this could be a little cleaner," you know what I mean? I'll be back for another tan:) read more

Clean and relaxing ambiance. I love Keiko! She does the best eyelash extensions in town! Painless and natural looking. read more

Bella Cara - Clean and relaxing ambiance :) - Spray Tanning Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had to stop seeing stephanie who used to be at the end salon, leonard drake before and now at aqua day spa b/c she got too expensive and too hard to book. So, I was beside myself (and a little hairy), until I went on yelp and found Jill. What more can I say then Jill is great! She knows brows. She knows what fits your face and what will give you that instant lift. She's charming and well mannered (which is hard to find in LA). The only thing I do miss that Jill doesn't offer, is laying down during the brow wax and getting massaged with wonderful smells on my temples.....but there's also something to to be said about getting in, sitting down and getting out all within 15 mins. I highly recommend her to anyone, but please don't make her too busy I can't get in :( read more

Saika is very nice, sweet, and professional. She has been my lash extension esthetician since April this year. I was her customer from her previous place but i followed to her new place and am still her loyal customer and super happy that i can still see her. There is a reason for me to go to a japanese esthetician when i can go to so much cheaper places. They are detail-oriented. She is very thorough and spend her time to give you the right satisfaction. She listens to what you want, and once you open your eyes after long deep sleep during the extension tx,(i always fall in a sleep lol), you will be satisfied. If you are not, she will try at the next appt to choose the right fake lashes. I wanted to have a natural look with my lashes and it is really hard as an asian since i originally have thin, short, and pathetic lashes :(. But people around me told me it looks natural and sometimes i get compliments that i have long pretty lashes. Haha! That was not from my mom but from Saika. :P The lashes usually stay more than three weeks for me. You just need to make sure not to wash your face thoroughly for one or two days ( esp around your eyes) or dont take a shower on the same day you did the extension. So, i always take a shower right before the appt. This place can be a little bit pricy or reasonable to you ( not a cheap place) but your lashes deserve better extension! So you can be happier for a longer period of time! We all deserve better. read more

Really REALLY bad spray tan:( I was looking forward to coming here based on the reviews, but sadly it was a HUGE disappointment! I think the only people saying that it's a good airbrush, have only done a mystic booth and therefore, yes, this is better by comparison. Really fake color, faded super quick and did the weird patchy thing that made me look like I had a skin disease. I did all the prep and post work too...and still BAD. My dog also didn't want to be near me after I got it cuz it had such a yucky smell:( Maybe the brow service is better? FYI: The girls there had a kinda beverly hills snottiness to them too... read more

Jill at Bella Cara is AMAZING...I had moved to L.A from Seattle in spring of 2008, was going my eyebrow designer in Seattle every 2 weeks...I say designer because let's be honest anyone with an Esthetician license can throw wax on your face and pull it off with muslin strips...I wanted to find someone that really knew what they were doing and was able to shape my brows to frame my face. Most women don't understand that eyebrows are the frames of your face and you should have your eyebrows done/waxed/shaped even if your eyebrow growth is slow or you have very little to work with...as a true eyebrow designer will be able to show you how to fill in or use powder to make your brows look their best. Anyway, as you may have already guessed I'm VERY particular about my eyebrows and I found the perfect eyebrow designer in Jill at Bella Cara in Beverly Hills. She is amazing with the wax and tweezers, she always takes her time in trimming and shaping my eyebrows to my expectations. Jill at Bella Cara is the best in the Beverly Hills L.A. area and I wouldn't trust anyone to do my brows but her...unless you're willing to drive 4 hours to Vegas....but that's a whole different review. read more

Jill is the BEST!!! I go to her for regular eyelash tinting and I am hooked. She is super gentle and my eyes never burn. I highly recommend her!!! I go to Nicole for spray tan. Her tans are amazinggggggg!!!! She is my go to before every big event, including my upcoming September wedding. She is the only person I trust to make sure I am golden brown, not pumpkin orange. Bella Cara is a great place and I highly recommend it :) read more

All I can say, is that I'm Irish-Russian and have a natural tan! How may you ask? Because of Nicole at Bella Cara!!! First first timers she walks you through how to prep for the spray tan, how the spray works, as well as upkeep. There are different degrees for how dark the tan is and she has examples so you can pick out the color best for you. It is worth the splurge for the personal spray tans. I've gotten the mystic tans before and it just doesn't compare. Great beauty bar as well! read more

I've been getting my eyelashes done by Saika for almost 1.5 years now. I absolutely adore her. She is very sweet, thoughtful, and meticulous - all the right ingredients for a consistently enjoyable experience. I'm always 5 minutes late (shame on me -___-) and she has never once made me feel anything but welcomed and appreciated when I arrive. She even texts me telling me to drive safe and not hurry - what a gem! Her company is technically called Sakura Beauty, although it is located inside Bella Cara. Her price is mid-range for eyelash extensions, and the quality is outstanding. I'm blond so my eyelashes are almost non-existent looking without makeup. This has lead me to almost always wearing makeup outside the house. With the extensions, I've cut my make-up time in half and often don't even wear eyeliner or mascara. I go once a month and they stay on really great. Start falling off a little after week 3, but I'm cheap so I go the 4 weeks. I get compliments on them all the time. Love love love. If anyone deserves your hard earned money and time, it's Saika. read more

Jill is hands down the most talented in the business. She's better than "A". She's a perfectionist down to the smallest hair. Your arch will look great and blend with your face. Definitely worth it! read more

Since I have been coming at Bella Cara I discovered my inner beauty. To make long story short I used to shape my eyebrows a certain way and I thought it was the best fit for my face...for YEARS! Not that its ugly or anything but I learned how to embrace my natural eyebrows after Jill took care of them. I felt like there was a schift in me and I ve never experienced this at any other waxing shops. I did go to a different place to see if I could just have the same result somewhere else and it never happened! You have to try for yourself but believe me THIS IS the place to go if you want to deal with someone who is passionate about what she does and is excellent at it. I highly recommend this place for eyebrows waxing. See for yourself and share your experience as well! read more

Sooo as a pastie pastie white Irish-Scottish girl I am TERRIFIED of spray tanning. I had never had a good experience with it. I always seemed to be a bit too orange. Well I was headed to Vegas a few weeks ago with a whole group of tan bitches and i had no choice but to get a tan in a hurry! I look to Yelp ('cuz that's just what you do when you need to find something in this city) and I see Bella Cara. 1) the place is soo cute and parking is a breeze and freeee 2) the price was so right ($68 for two sessions) 3) the girls in there were very nice. made me feel totally comfortable standing around nude in front of someone I don't know. 4) MY TAN WAS PERFECT!!! I wasn't orange at all, no streaks, and It lasted thru sun, pool, clubs, etc... I will be going back soon to get my second session! Although I am worried I am gonna develop an addiction... read more

I'm white. Well, I'm actually Asian, but I'm whiter than white people. Fair-skinned, I like to say...but in truth, I must stay fully clothed for fear of blinding people at the beach with the sun's glare reflecting off my legs. (Okay, so I'm exaggerating a wee bit, but only for dramatic effect.) I don't fake bake due to paranoia over wrinkles, age spots, and the like, so I just stick to stuff like Jergen's Natural Glow moisturizer. One fine Saturday morning, after dropping the furbaby off at Sparky's, I took a little wander down the block and passed by Bella Cara and a big sign that advertised 2 spray tan sessions for $68. "Why not?" I thought to myself, "I deserve a little grooming session of my own, and it's cheaper than Tex's trip to the beauty shop!" I go in and meet the lovely Nicole who assuages my doubts about spray tanning. Luckily she has an opening that afternoon, so I come back, ready to be Southern California-ized (minus the Botox and silicone). We enter a narrow little cupboard of a room in the back, where I strip nude. Nicole is so friendly that I don't feel awkward whatsoever, just a bit self-conscious. She directs me to stand on a little box and starts spraying away - a really bizarre yet soothing sensation - and pretty soon I'm airbrushed to golden perfection! I've gone twice now, and I'm a convert. There's not too much of that yucky self-tanner smell, and each session will last for a week. Only drawback is that the initial bronzer will smudge. Just make sure to exfoliate before (as I learned the hard way) or else you'll become a splotchy oddly colored tan/white creature. read more

Love... this.. place! I was going to go to the snooty Bev Hills eyebrow people because that's where all the popular kids go and frankly, i didn't know where else to get them done but then i heard about Bella Cara and decided to give it a try. Sadly, growing hair anywhere on my body is not difficult for me so i figured hey, if they mess up my eyebrows they will probably grow back by the end of the day anyway so all that will happen is that i will be out some cash. So i went. It's a funny set up. They sell soaps, candles, etc. and then up against one wall is a dresser with a mirror where Jill gets to work on your eyebrows. She is AWESOME. Jill does an amazing job and she's also an easy-going, friendly and fun person to talk to. She shaped my eyebrows beautifully and didn't try to make me look all Aguilera-Drag Queen. Usually when i get my eyebrows done, they take one look at me and want to take a weed wacker to my brow line. She streamlined them for sure but they still fit my face. I have since been back and when I sat down, Jill remembered the last convo we had and had follow up questions since we had last spoken. Believe me, the woman is busy. I had no expectation that she would even remember my name and here she was talking to me like we were old girlfriends. Can't recommend it enough. Oh, by the way, eyebrows are $35. read more

Seriously a great place to get spray tanned. My last experience with spray tanning involved getting into a booth and coming out looking slightly like a Cheetoo... not wanting to relive that oh so fun experience - I decided to try a personalized spray tan. I went to Bella Cara because of my fellow yelper reviews. I met Nicole and she was extremely professional and walked me through exactly what I should do, what was going to happen and made me feel comfortable. I picked a "7" because I needed a tan- and a "5" was just to subtle. My results were great! I was tan from head to toe, evenly done and i couldn't have been happier with the results. I was able to stroll right out to the pool with a nice tan from the start of my vacation. Woo Hoo! Nicole gave me very detailed instructions on how to care for my tan and really emphasized that you can still burn through a tan. I'm going to tan for my next big event. I highly recommend this place - be sure to pay attention to the instructions they give you and read their site before you go. You have to do what they say or you only have yourself to blame if your tan sucks. read more

I don't recommend this place just for woman but sometimes u men need a little pampering too! I highly recommend Bella Cara read more

Bella Cara is open and not a moment too soon. Decided to treat myself with a spray tan by Nicole and I feel like a different person. After being hunkered down for almost 8 months I look like ive been on vacation. What a boost! Beautiful job. Nicole has an incredible talent for putting you at ease. Hurry - make an appointment! read more

My Favorite place to get a spray tan in L.A.!!!!! This Has to be the Best..! At least the best I have ever known and I've been to several--always trying to get that dark golden hue and after going to Bella Cara--I know wha that really looks like! Nicole is the Best Spray tan tech. out there..she know's her stuff and they are pretty scientific about how they determine color--it's not by shades but by percentages..whatever it is that was the best spray tan I have ever had..and that is saying a lot since I live in SF and love getting a good spray tan. I just wished Bella Cara was out over here.! Great place and can't wait to return. Nicole was super nice and the place is very cute and super clean. read more

Bella Cara - Such a cute boutique tanning and makeup salon - Spray Tanning Near Me - Los Angeles, California

THE ABSOLUTE BEST TAN IN LA, I HAVE NOT FOUND BETTER I'M BAAACK and i have to say I've been to several salons all over LA and this is by far the MOST STYLISH, DISCREETt, CHARMING salon in BEVERLY HILLS/LA . The owners are adorable and incredibly friendly. The NEW LOCATION LOOKS GREAT I'm always extremely pleased with my tan. NICOLE did a fantastic job! There is a reason that so many agents refer their clients here -impeccable service and the absolute best tan you can get sans the sun. read more

I don't tend to write Yelp reviews, but for Jill, it's beyond necessary. I've been getting my eyebrows done for 15 years, but it wasn't until finding Jill a year ago that I started actually looking forward to my bi-monthly eyebrow waxings. Not only do my eyebrows look better than ever, Jill is such a joy and one of the sweetest people I've ever met. She's basically my therapist/eyebrow technician. She always goes above and beyond, and I don't know what I'd do without her! read more

Jill is the absolute best for eyebrow trimming and training. She sculpts a perfectly-shaped eyebrow for your Bella Cara. Not some thin overtweezed thing or a comma. A real, nice, perfect eyebrow. Done! Thank you Jill! read more

Nicole did a great job with my airbrush tan. She's very informative. They keep a blow dryer on you the whole time so the tan drys very fast which is a plus so you're not dripping in solution which is something I usually dread when getting my spray tan. I went with one of the darkest tans 9%. They have an 11% but she said it's more for people in those fitness competitions. My tan looks completely natural. I'll definitely be back soon to try out the different solutions they have. read more

I have been going to Jill for years to get my eyebrows done, despite the fact that the salon is 30 minutes from my home/work, because she is THAT awesome. She always returns my calls to schedule an appointment right away, and she is just such a warm person, not to mention great at what she does. Thank you so much Jill! You're the best! read more

I've been a client of Jill's since 1997. I started seeing her when I was in high school and she was just starting out in Beverly Hills. She has a natural talent for creating absolutely perfect eyebrows. I have no idea how she is able to do it, but am just grateful that she is! I try to see her every 3-4 weeks I usually can't wait any longer as they start to grow in and make me sad. Besides being amazing at what she does, Jill is the sweetest person. I'm so lucky to know her not just for the eyebrows, but for the positivity she brings to my life. I've also sent a few friends to see her and they love her too. Both friends have more difficult brows (from old scars) and they both came away with perfection, read more

Worth every penny. Jill has been doing my eye brows and my whole family for years. It really doesn't get better than Jill. She is a perfectionist so you should expect perfect eyebrows , and if it's not there she'll help you get it there. read more

Ladies you are sooo right. I have been going to Jill for almost ten years. She is amazing at doing brows but also does great make-up. She did my make-up for my wedding and everyone complimented me and my pictures came out great (even the close-ups). She is a sweetie and has been very accommodating to me over the years. read more

Thank you, Yelp, for sending me to Bella Cara. After seeing my eyebrows butchered by nearly all of LA's supposed eyebrow gurus, I was beginning to feel like there was no one in LA who could wax or tweeze my brows without burning me, taking off too much, or misshaping them. Then I found Bella Cara. Desperate, the week before my wedding, I took a leap of faith. And I was rewarded. I now have excellent brows. And I didn't have to move back to San Francisco to get them. read more

At the recommendation of fellow yelper, Cee S. I went to see Jill at this brow place and I have to say it was worth every CENT! Not only is she nice and normal but she did an EXCELLENT job with my eyebrows. It's important to her you can tell and that's the kind of person you want working on your face. read more

Just left the salon. It was a great experience! This was my second time getting a spray tan by Nicole the first time she did it it lasted for so long and looked so sexy! I kept wondering when this beautiful tan was going to fade but it ended up staying for well over a week. I was tickled pink :) I just had my brows done by Jill I love them! I usually go to the nail salon to get it done but it always seems to be a botch job. She took her time and was very Gentle... I am now her new regular ; ) I HIGHLY recommend Bella Cara for Tanning, brows, and makeup. Jill and Nicole are super sweet I cant compliment them enough! read more

I've been going to Bella Cara since I moved to LA 6 years ago to get my eyebrows and lip waxing done by Jill - she is absolutely amazing and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my eyebrows. Also, anytime I need to get a spray tan for a special occasion- Nicole is THE BEST you can get a spray tan from. All my friends I've recommended to go there have said the same thing and agreed that the best spray tans they have ever gotten are from Bella Cara as well. I like to get the Bella Venetian spray tan, it is $10 more expensive but worth it because it makes me look like a Greek goddess and perfectly bronzed. Jill & Nicole do an amazing job running Bella Cara, they are so kind and genuine and make you feel welcome instantly. I love them!!! read more

I love Nicole, she is sextremely sweet and does such a great job giving me the perfect tan. She is extremely helpful in giving her honest opinion on what is best as opposed to making you look like a clown. The shop is gorgeous and very clean, plenty of street parking. I also had Jill do my eyebrows for the very first time and she is amazing. Never had my eyebrows look so great, always had them threaded so giving up the pain is certainly one advantage over tweezing. I just didn't realize how well you can shape eyebrows with tweezing. I highly recommend Bella Cara to all my friends. Definitely worth every bit of the money. read more

I admit that $35 a month for eyebrows is a little expensive, but it is incredibly worth it. I've been going to Jill for almost A YEAR AND A HALF NOW! She tweezes instead of waxing because I have sensitive skin...and my eyebrows always look perfect. she is so skilled with the tweezer and goes very quickly. I'm sure I will continue to go to Jill for years. read more

I was so so impressed by Jill. I came in not being sure what to expect, and she completely reshaped my eyebrows to fit my face. Then, she showed me how to fill them in and what colors would match me. I've been all around BH for brows, and this may be my favorite!! Give it a shot. read more

I have spent the last 14 days on an airplane... literally. In two weeks time, I have been to Nigeria, Norway, Sweden, Finland, France, England, Idaho, Jersey, and San Francisco. There were many days, unfortunately so, that I did not have the opportunity to leave the plane. Many days that I did not see the light of day... Unless Finland at 9 pm counts. My Northern European work tour ended with news from my company that we will be celebrating our company anniversary this weekend with a BEACH PARTY! Ah.. Just what I need! Sun, sand, cocktails, bikini ~ Wait... I am white as a ghost! I am pale, pasty, and in need of a little Vitamin D, via UVB. But, alas, I have two days to prepare and I would like to forgo the imminent leather-skin that is sure to follow hours of sunbathing. Thanks to YELP... this fair-skinned Irish girl found herself looking tantastic with a quick trip to Bella Cara. Bella Cara is an adorable little salon. A shabby chic, beachy, relaxing atmosphere with lots of lotions, potions and scrubs for sale. Nicole (my airbrushing agent) did a fantastic job of giving me an even, golden bronze glow. Despite my having to stand on a platform, under a bright light, in a paper thong... the experience was not uncomfortable. This was my first spray tan EVER and at $68 for two ... I will certainly be back! read more
