I've been researching Plasma Fibroblast for a long time because I have very crepey upper eyelids & they're hooded as well. I wanted something non-invasive, more affordable than eyelid surgery but would 100% give results. I am a 44 year old, Southeast Asian woman (tans easily). I found a provider in LA but kept hesitating. Had dinner with a friend one night & she told me there was an SD provider who worked in the same space as her. I checked out Christiana's IG page & felt confident in her skills, so I made an appointment! Her space is located right off of Front street, plenty of street parking in that area of DT/Little Italy. Her treatment room is very clean, beautiful & relaxing! She offers a heated table & blanket for comfort. Candles lit for aromatherapy, I love it! She is super personable & sweet, made me feel comfortable right away. She put the numbing agent on me & I laid there for an hour waiting for it to kick in. I just listened to my podcast w/earphones the whole time. After an hour of numbing, she peels the cream off & proceeds to start zapping away! On a scale of 1-10 for pain, it honestly felt like a 2.5, totally bearable! Most parts I felt absolutely nothing, other parts, like a tiny rubber band snap or something. Both eyelids went very fast, only 20 minutes! She is VERY precise with her dot zaps, I was impressed! Everything was super even. She sent me home with an awesome post-care kit: silver spray, silver gel, aquaphor, dove soap, ice packs & emails you very detailed instructions! I was able to drive home no problem, I even stopped off to get myself some food Lol Day 1 I was sore, but didn't need to take any ibuprofen at all Days 2 & 3 were the most swollen, but no pain at all Day 4 the swelling had gone down by 80% Day 7 all my dot scabs had fallen off & I am healing great! I wear SPF 50 on my eyelids, sunglasses AND a baseball cap (I'm not taking any chances with hyperpigmentation because I am a Fitzpatrick Level 4) every time I go outside. I highly recommend Christiana! She is very skilled & has checked on me twice already during my healing time, via texting. If you would like to see pictures, please PM me Thanks! read more

Brave Beauty is the best place in San Diego to get your lashes done! Christiana is so good at giving you amazing thick, full & long lashes that also look natural.

Christiana is a lash wizard! I've tried a number of different places for lash extensions with varying results, but after a friend recommended Christiana at Brave Beauty, my search is over. If you're like me and not really sure about technical details like lash length, width, etc, this is your place! I told Christiana what effect I was going for and she more than delivered! All I had to do was relax and take a lash nap. She is very knowledgeable and actually takes your eye and face shape into consideration when deciding which lashes to use. Plus, I've had much better lash retention between fills with her than anywhere else I've been. Her space within Sola Salons is super cute and cozy. Added bonus for online booking via the MindBody app! read more

Christiana is absolutely amazing!! I really can't say enough great things about her spa. I've been going to her for over a year now, and she has transformed my face.. I've always struggled with my complextion, but now my breakouts are few and far between. Plus she always has my eyebrows looking on point read more

Two product reviews: Eye Lash Extensions: I am so happy, and absolutely IN LOVE with my lashes! I could not be more pleased! They are beautiful, full and everything I could ask for in eye lash extensions! And the price is better than anything else I've seen on the market in SD, hands down! Face Reality Skin Care Line: Since I moved to SD about 2 years ago, I, for whatever reason, started breaking out. Idk why. Maybe the water? Who knows. But I literally tried everything. Proactive, aveno, clique, cetiphil, you name it. Christiana told me about the line she carries in her spa, and thought id give it a chance. I've now been using it for 2 months, and while my skin isn't back to its original state (I know that takes some time), it's SO MUCH BETTER! Finally able to stop wearing face make up again due to not having ANY breakouts! In fact, I love it so much, I re upped on my supplies yesterday when I got my eye lash fill - which looks Amazeballz, obviously Seriously, she's a saint amongst women and Estheticians. Love her work!! read more

I've been going to Christiana for acne treatments for about a year now and I just had my first official appointment at her brand new spot (Brave). My face has never been so clear! I've tried so many different treatments in the past and nothing worked. Christiana educated me on what causes acne (hint: it's not just genetic) from diet to the shampoo I use. With her help, I changed a few products and a few habits and started going to her for peels and extractions on a regular basis. If you've been struggling with breakouts I can't recommend her enough. As a guy it's always a bit awkward heading into a beauty spa, but Christiana made me feel comfortable right away. You could tell she's passionate about her work and loves seeing the results as much as me! Give her a try. read more

I'm a very very particular consumer. I only want the best and I will keep looking until I find it. Enter Christiana! She is the only person I trust with my skincare for the past 2 years. It started with my waxing and now I see her weekly for something or other. One of her best qualities is the fact that she is super meticulous yet expeditious. She is all about the customer. I told her I wanted a bikini facial for my lady bits (I have always struggled with ingrowns but the waxing helps) and she researched and created the best bikini facial protocol I've ever experienced. I can't believe my cystic hoohah problems have met their match! I never ever have been pressured to upgrade or try unnecessary services. She understands and cares about our wellness and its apparent. Each month I do a facial, micro, and a body peel for my back, lady bits, and legs. I get my Brazilian, brows, face and body waxed. I highly recommend Christiana. read more

I hunted for a lash technician to get my first eyelash extensions and am so happy I went with Christiana!! I wouldn't commute from Temecula for anyone else. I've had 0 irritation since getting my eyelash extensions and they are still perfect after a week and a half! You won't regret booking with her!! read more

Absolutely love this spa. Christiana does phenomenal work. I'm admittedly an eyelash extension addict, her technique is the best I've ever experienced. My lashes stay on and on and on, and even when it's time for a fill, they STILL look nice! I also must give props for the waxing expereince. She uses hard wax and truly keeps the pain to a minimum, which especially counts when receiving a Brazilian (thank you! :)) To top it off, she makes you feel so comfortable, she's always professional, is such a sweet person, and always up for good conversation. I would recommend Brave Beauty Spa to anyone, and I do!! read more

This 5+++++ star rating is long overdue. I have been going to Christiana for my eyelash extensions a little over a year now, jeez time flies. There aren't enough stars for Brave Beauty Spa. The spa is basically an oasis relaxation cave. Going to get my eyelashes done honestly feels like a break in my day where I get to pamper myself. She's got essential oils diffusing in one corner, candles going in another at all times so you walk in and your body goes into relaxation mode immediately. She is very clean in her work, meaning sanitizing her hands constantly, washing her hands, her tools, etc. She is super gentle and aware of what she is doing when she works. Christiana works hard at getting my lashes full week after week. And when I say full, I mean like lashes of your dreams full. I get SO many compliments on my eye lashes and it is all because of this gal. I don't have to apply mascara in the mornings and when you get up before the sun that little part of your morning is HUGE. Very grateful for Brave Beauty Spa. Check Christiana out if you are looking for an eyelash stylist in San Diego! She is awesome. read more

Christiana is seriously a lash queen. She nails my lashes every single time. She deserves way more than 5 stars in my opinion! I've been going to her for almost 2 years now and have absolutely no complaints. If you're looking for a lash artist in San Diego I highly recommend her. I can't even tell you how many compliments I've gotten in public, some people even ask me for her info! She is so sweet and unbelievably talented. Definitely my lash artist for life. read more

Christiana is hands down the best!!! She is an incredibly skilled, professional, and experienced esthetician. I have had acne for several years and after going to her for regular chemical peels my complexion has cleared drastically! In addition to the peels, Christiana gave me lifestyle modifications I can make to help keep breakouts to a minimal, as well as an affordable and effective skin care regime. I am so thankful to have found her! I was referred to her by my massage therapist. In addition to my skin, she also takes care of my lash extensions! This is my first experience with extensions so I didn't really know what to expect. But I can tell you that the extensions stay on for quite a while and didn't damage my real lashes at all. I get compliments all the time!! I can't express my gratitude for all she has done for me! Enough reading reviews... CALL AND BOOK WITH HER! read more

Christiana has been doing my brows for more than 5 years and she is amazing!!! She does an exceptional job and has such a positive energy!

My skin problems began at the ripe age of 12 and while I always thought I'd grow out of acne issues, well it never happened. I suffered from everything acne related - large deep cystic, small bumps, inflamed painful, blackheads, you name it. I have tried so many products on the market and have tried other estheticians who claimed that they could fix me, only to be left with dark red spots from extractions that almost scared me. For years I gave up, accepted my skin for what it was and tried to just not think about it. Bare minerals foundation and me had become close acquaintances. But what about when I'm working out and make up comes dripping down my face, oh hello there they are again. What a lovely reminder. I was referred to Christiana through a friend who had seen her for a peel. She said she has this "acne clinic". I thought, yea sure just another hyped up treatment. After yet another failed product I decided to go see her to get a consultation (it's free and no commitment so why not). In comes this adorable, full of life, delightful woman, Christiana. She gave me the details on the acne clinic, set my expectations and I elected to go for it. After a month I could tell a difference in the health of my skin, after 3 months I was clear and now I just see her for periodic facials for "maintenance." She worked miracles on my skin. If you have ever struggled with acne, DON'T HESITATE book with her now. She will be up front and honest with you and I whole heartedly trust her with my skin. Oh and I hear she's a lash-boss as well! read more

I just had the 'Bravebrasion' Microdermabrasion done at Brave Beauty and it was amazing! This was my first time EVER having a facial done, I have very sensitive skin so I've always been hesitant about facials and products I'm not familiar with. Christina has you fill out some brief paper work with some questions to get to know your skin type and what your routine is. We discussed that I had sensitive skin and that I use natural vegan products. She immediately recommended products that she would use in our session and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. Before applying each product she told me what she was doing and what it was for. I felt very at ease the whole time thanks to Christina. She was so sweet, we had wonderful conversation and my skin feels AMAZING! I will definitely be going back thanks so such a positive experience. If you haven't seen Christina yet, START! read more

This being my first chemical peel, I was a little nervous, but I was referred to Christiana by a friend and I'm so glad I went. The spa was quaint, warm, and zen-like while Christiana was inviting, knowledgeable, and skillful. She has a genuine passion for what she is doing and it radiates and permeates. She humbly listened to all of my concerns and emphatically offered her suggestions and expertise. After the facial and peel, Christiana spent ample time educating me on what to expect in the upcoming days and how to best manage my skincare regimen post-peel. My skin looks and feels dramatically improved, therefore I am a very satisfied customer! read more

I have been a client of Christiana's at Brave Beauty for over a year (religiously getting my lashes filled every 2-3 weeks). I've had three other lash stylists and she is the best I have ever found. Her facility is cozy, clean and pleasant and her personality is warm, professional and amazing to be around. I highly recommend using Christiana for all of your lash needs! I've also done facials/microdermabrasion here and have only the best things to say about the work that is done in this spa. This girl is the reallllll deal!!! read more

I am addicted!!! I go to Christiana every two weeks to get my beautiful lashes. She is super skilled, talented and so gentle. I am really picky about who does my lashes but I am so happy she does mine! I have tried many Lashes technicians before and all disappointing. Christiana is definitely the best. I wouldn't go to anyone anymore. Also her facial is so amazing too. I feel like a new person after I get one. read more
