More Photo 1 in review by Robbi "Robbi The Aussie" Jennings Photo 2 in review by Robbi "Robbi The Aussie" Jennings Jodee Gorsich 6 reviews 2 months ago I had such a wonderful experience at Botanica Skin & Brow Studio! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt peaceful and relaxing--it instantly put me at ease. What a lovely experience. I was hunting a very specific look of which a few had turned me away. I didn't want the current bushy/full brows, but a leaner/finer look. Not only was she up for the challenge, she made it great. Just got back home, so I'll need to take a new photo in a few days once the tint has washed off my skin. Kristen is a lovely person to be with, very real, honest and high integrity. Not to mention over 20 years of experience. The price was more than fair, and I actually expected more. (Yes I tipped her). Put you trust in her and her salon, walk in and relax knowing what you need she can manage and work with you. Perfect business, lovely woman Kristen is. The two photos are 3 days later, no makeup at all, no brow pencil or color filler, no brow mascara, nothing and they are flawless. I want to get my lashes tinted next time too as the brow color is perfect for my hair is silver being 61 yrs old.. read more

Very happy with the results of my brow lamination/tint and lash tint. This was my first time in and first time receiving these services. Emily was so gentle, talked me through it and let me look in the mirror after every step. She did a beautiful job! The salon was very clean and welcoming. The owner was there when I checked in and she was very pleasant. Great first impressions - looking forward to more services from this spa! read more

I wish I could add more stars because the facial I received from Larissa today was excellent! My 60 min facial was an incredibly relaxing experience. All of the products she used not only felt amazing, but smelled amazing. My senses were so delighted and I enjoyed the massage as well. We talked about my skin and went over the products afterwards that I could use daily. I did purchase a lotion and left glowing from the inside out! I was also able to speak with the owner, Kristen, before I left about a future brow and lash appointment. Everyone seemed very friendly and genuine. Thank you Botanica for making my first experience a great one! I'll be back. read more

Botanica Skin and Brow Studio - The facial room - Skin Care Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I love this place and have gotten multiple brow laminations from different people. However I got my first lash lift ever at from botanical recently and it didn't even last 24 hours and was hardly noticeable. I read about other failed lifts and it usually is a result of too much glue. I feel like it was mentioned that the glue was new to the aesthetician to me while she worked on my lashes. Nonetheless I tipped 20% to be kind but after not even 24 hours it looks like nothing happened to my lashes at all and feels like a waste of money. My brows however always look great when I come here. read more

Glad I found this place. Faith does a wonderful job on my brows, wax and tint. She is also very kind and genuine.

I recently received a lash lift and micro current facial from Megan. She is truly amazing! Kind, friendly, and clearly explained the entire process of each service. She made me feel comfortable and did a wonderful job on my skin and with my lashes. I'm extremely happy with the results of both services and highly recommend Megan! Kristin and her team at Botanica strive for the best service and atmosphere for all clients. read more

I received a lash lift from Megan and am very happy with the results! I've never had a treatment on my lashes before so wasn't sure what to expect, but she was friendly, professional, and thorough. A few days later, I'm still loving the natural lifted look - exactly what I was hoping for! read more

Had the best microderm abrassion at Botanica Skin and Brow Studio. it begins with a cleanse and then the microderm. The pressure was perfect. After the microderm there's a facial with a lovely face, hand and arm massage. It's peaceful and relaxing. My face feels refreshed and revitalize. read more

It took me a moment to write this review because I wanted to return from my Euro-trip to talk to an esthetician. I got Yelp bucks to try this place and I told Kristin from the beginning that I would be reviewing her. My appointment was for a brow tint and lash perm. I have light brown (honey) eyes and I use more of an auburn brow color on my eyebrows. I brought my makeup with me. My regular esthetician told me to be clear with her because my hair is dark and I wanted auburn. When I got to the appointment we sat down and I told Kristin that I wanted auburn. I also told her what I was instructed "I know you're going to suggest darker because it will lighten but this is the color I want." She seemed to understand. As the appointment began she seemed to be flying through things. She was explaining step-by-step what she was doing. We did brows first. It seemed quick. Then we went to lashes. At one point she asked "do you have curly hair?" I told her it is an uneven curl. She told me she would set a timer for 7 minutes. This is while the perm solution was on my lashes. No alarm went off. She was putting things away. Then she came back and it was NOT 7 minutes. It was 3 minutes at best and began removing my right eye lash treatment and set-up. Then the left. BOOM: we were done. I looked and and I pointed out spots on my eyebrows that my skin was dyed but it was NOWHERE near my hair on my eyebrow. I was afraid. She said "it would fade" as would all the color stuck to my skin. The issue is the color stuck to my skin was not even and was DARK BROWN. She then went on to say "I'm happy it took at all with how thin your eyebrows are I didn't think it was going to take." I kept looking in the mirror. It was DARK. She then went on to say exactly what I warned her not to do "it is a bit darker but it will lighten to the color you want." This is upsetting because as it fades that's time you spend and wanted your brows to be the color YOU want. Also, if she didn't think it was going to work, then why didn't she stop me? Why would you do a service that might not even work without saying so upfront except to get someone's money? This is bad business practice. Lastly, I was told "do henna next time if you want more red" however WHY would I go to someone who didn't stay in the lines of my brow with tint do a permanent RED? Onto the eyelash's: I'm sad. She did not leave the solution on long enough. Not even her 7 minutes. My esthetician say my left eyelashes are not permed correctly, and they are missing spaces. The inner lashes curl into my eyelid and are cross-crossed all over each other. The end lashes are still stick straight. I don't sleep on my side or back so this is not human error. I can't curl my ends bc it curls the inner lashes more. I can't wear mascara because it brings out the half-hearted job. Kristin was super focused on brushing the left inner eyelashes when we stopped and now I know why: she was trying to set them straight so that I didn't notice when I left. In addition, I was told this process should have taken 30-45 mins itself. It didn't. She rushed it. Now my eyelashes are a mess. I couldn't go back because, as I told Kristin, I left to Europe the next day. Overall, this is a LONG review but the appointment lasted 45mins in total. This is purposely long because women going to get semi-permanent things done to their face need to know what they are getting into. I have an appointment at BeatBox Beauty Co. to correct my eyelashes later this month. Ashley is not my esthetician who looked over my face to confirm what I thought but she is known and reviewed with the highest of marks. If you're going to spend over $100 on two processes. Don't go somewhere they rush you in and out. Don't go somewhere they say "I didn't even think it would take" AFTER they have done and are willing to charge you for it. Always keep in mind all your options. Lastly, knowing I was going to review this and still this half-hearted service was received says measures. UPDATE: The owner knows this review is up, and posts on Yelp that she answers to things within 2hrs but seeing that there has been no word regarding this service, again with the OWNER KNOWING I was doing a review then I'm forced to give it the 1 star it deserves. I gave it 2 originally thinking any one of these issues would be addressed but they haven't, and I still can't curl one side of my eyelashes and the other half are stick straight. read more

I'm an out of towner here for business and since I come here often, I try to find places where I can do the things I often don't have time to do at home. However, I brows are high consequence and it's not easy to let someone new touch them! I took a chance and called in to hopefully get a last minute appointment. Kristin accommodated me and took me after her last scheduled appt of the day. Then, she did an amazing and quick job on my eyebrows! I had two mismatch brows and now they match! So glad I took the risk because I feel like my brows look the best they have looked in a while. Her place seemed pretty clean and she was friendly and personable. I will definitely be back when I'm in town again read more

Best facials I've ever had, and the girls who work here are wonderful- friendly, calm, and very accommodating. I'd originally booked for an eyebrow shaping and facial, but the brows ended up not needing much work. Kristin, the owner, didn't charge me for the small brow work she did. Additionally, the massage during the facial was exquisite. Erin, who did the other facial I got here in the past, did an excellent job as well. You can't go wrong coming to Botanica. read more

Larissa did my facial, she is wonderful!!! My face looks and feels so much younger, softer brighter! She is a very talented and knowledgeable about skin and the products. i will definitely be back again Thank you for making me look and feel so much younger! read more

This place is awesome, clean and friendly. My facial with Larissa was the best yet, she truly pampered me. I can't wait to go back!!

My daughters and I went to have a lash lift and tint. It was great! Kristin and her team are very professional and did a fantastic job on our eyelashes. They also are certified Aestheticians and have eye lash extensions, Acupuncture, brow shaping and much more. Their prices are very good. I have referred my sisters and friends. Quality service and we will definitely return. read more

Drop my girlfriend off here all the time and she loves it! The waiting room is also nice the prices are not too high for the quality of service you will receive./9 read more

This is the best brow studio ever! My aesthetician was so incredibly skilled and kind. I can't wait to come back.

Kristen is a goddess of skin, makeup and brows. I have been a regular client of hers for nearly 16 years and she is the best in the business. Sparkling clean, amazing service, thorough, and super personalized. Every visit, no matter the service leaves me happy, relaxed and feeling gorgeous. Highly reccomend for waxing, makeup and facials. read more

Haven't found a good eyebrow Threading spa and I'm so happy I found Kristen. Amazing job and very knowledgeable :)

Today I received a facial by Erin. It was absolutely amazing. She was very knowledgeable about the products and did a great job communicating with me about my skin. The overall experience was very relaxing. I left feeling renewed and glowing. I definitely recommend coming here for a facial. read more

Kristin and Erin at Botanica are wonderful! Professionals, who create a relaxing environment with a focus on skin concerns and solutions. Wonderful for adults, but my teenage son and daughter love them too. They both have moderate acne and regular facials at Botanica have saved the day. I have had facials with many people in Albuquerque and Botanica is by far the best. They have really helped my skin to look and feel better. Brow waxing is also the absolute best in abq. Consistent and perfect every single time. They are a hidden gem, and I'm happy to share them with others. read more

Got a brow shaping by Erin and I am amazed!!! I can't believe these are actually my brows! Erin completely transformed my bushy, grown-out eyebrows and now they accentuate my face. She really listened and worked her magic. Thank you!! I am no longer fearful of having my eyebrows done by someone. I can't wait to go back :) read more

Hands down, the greatest waxing experience that I have ever had! The staff is so lovely and takes the time to make sure they understand exactly what you want. My eyebrows have never looked better! I cannot wait to come back in a few weeks for another wax. Thanks so much Erin! read more

I've had facials for many years and in luxury hotels and cruises, but Botanica is by far the best. As an older woman, facials are more important than ever. I have one at Botanica every 5-6 weeks faithfully. I have many comments about my skin and eyebrows. I give them full credit. read more

She does a good job, keeps on time appointments, good customer service. I will continue to use Botanica.

I had the most wonderful facial with Kristin! I've had many, many facials and this was top notch and so thorough. Kristin is caring, patient and very knowledgeable. We went over my changing skin needs and she knew exactly how to care for it. My skin looks clearer, brighter and feels healthier from the professional, yet natural products she used. I am excited to continue my new skin care journey with Botanica Skin and Brow Studio! read more

She is a queen when it comes to brows/tint. It is so extremely hard to find someone who knows where to remove hair, and how to shape a brow according to what suites your face/brow the best. I get compliments on my brows all the time & they are natural! read more

I went to get a facial and Katelyn was great! She is so sweet and knows what she's doing! I will recommend her and Botanica to everyone!

I am very new to the ABQ area and as such, I was very nervous to start over with finding new beauty services. I've lived in many different locations and I always dread the "experimenting" that comes along with finding new people and places. I've done it all with my brows over the years from waxing, tweezing, shaping, threading, permanent makeup, micro blading, and anything else in between. I started searching for brow shaping in the local ABQ area and I feel so blessed to have found Botanica and Erin right off the bat. Erin suggested brow tinting for my very sparse barely blonde brows and I could not be happier with the results. She did an excellent job shaping my almost non existent brows also. I am very happy with Erin's results and won't be going anywhere else. read more
