MAYBE YA'LL EXPERIENCED A LASH NAP, BUT HAVE YOU EVER EXPERIENCED A BROW NAP?!…read more That's right, ladies. A BROW nap. I napped out like a little baby while Thao worked on my brows today. Now, let me explain. I needed to get my brows done. Last time I had them done were a month before I got married back in 2024! It truly felt like eons ago and I got sick and tired of having to pencil in my brows every morning. That's when I discovered Thao. After peering through dozens of different artists, her work stood out to me the most. I saw that her work looks clean, detail-oriented, and experienced. I knew I had to get in touch with her. On the day of my appointment, she really took the time to understand how my brows were shaped and how to elevate my look. She made sure each angle was perfect, and took very meticulous measurements. Once she got started I literally didn't feel anything. The entire experience was so peaceful, calm, and relaxing, so much so that I fell into my first ever brow nap. After maybe 20 minutes, I woke up to beautiful brows on me. She had me sit up a bit to look at the measurements and ensure that no spot was missed. Then she would lay me back down and continue layering while I fell back into my brow nap. I've had my brows done by other artists several times over the course of 10 years, and this experience was the most calm and relaxing experience I have had! Her office also has a very welcoming, clean, and relaxing vibe inside. I highly recommend Thao for all of your brow needs. She is experienced and simply an amazing human.

I'm leaving this review based on my initial inquiry experience, as I never ended up booking an…read moreappointment. I reached out to Thao last weekend to discuss what I was looking for in lash extensions. We chatted briefly, and I followed up this week to ask if she had availability for a quick call so I could walk through a few questions. I was told she wasn't available for a call and to text instead, which I did. I sent reference photos of styles I was considering, along with photos of my natural lashes with mascara. I explained that I was between two looks and was hoping for professional guidance, as I've had lash extensions done before and haven't loved the results in the past. I was genuinely trying to be thoughtful and clear so expectations would be aligned. The response I received was surprising and disappointing. I was told that I was "too confusing," that I couldn't decide what I wanted, and that I would confuse her lash techs, so they didn't think they could work with me. The interaction felt dismissive and placed the blame on me for simply asking questions and seeking guidance. While I respect a business's right to choose its clients, I was honestly taken aback by how this was handled. I can't believe a business would turn away a potential client in this manner rather than offering guidance or setting expectations professionally. As a result, I'll be exploring other options. Given the otherwise positive reviews, this experience was unexpected and left a very poor first impression.

I now ONLY trust Alex at Studio Ling to cut my hair, especially my bangs! No other stylist has ever…read moremanaged to get the bangs right according to what I want, but Alex looks at my reference photo and gets it right. I admit that today's bangs have one slightly longer piece but we were talking a fair amount!! The first time I came here, I was confused by the parking, but from what I understand, the lot is ok if you park in the brown-marked spaces? Correct me if I'm wrong. There's also street parking. Salon is on the second floor - exit the elevator and turn right to go around the corner and it's at the next corner. Small space but they truly make it work!!

Alex is so amazing! I got a haircut and blowout deal for her on Groupon and it was great. You can…read morealways message her a screenshot of the deal and she will honor the price (that way she can earn the full amount no fees). She was very detailed when asking me questions for my haircut to make sure I got what I wanted. Blowout was great too, I am recommending her to all my friends!

I found Anna after a botched eyebrow tattoo from another San Diego brow artist. My eyebrows were…read moreuneven, different shapes and way thinner than I wanted. They were completely awful, I had to cut bangs to hide them. Anna was very patient working with me as I did have anxiety about having them tattooed again. To my very pleasant surprise she was able to fix my brows! She is very skilled in mapping out the proper area and shape. I won't trust anyone touching my brows other than Anna. Furthermore she is a very sweet and kind person. Thank you so much Anna!!!

I had a Russian manicure here and every bit of my experience from booking to the finish of my…read moretreatment was fabulous. I made my appointment via instagram message and confirmed via text, and it was seamless. I received a reminder text as well. The studio is clean and pretty (and currently decorated for Christmas). My manicure was so incredibly relaxing. My nails were a mess when I arrived and they are now absolutely beautiful. I made my next appointment immediately. I highly recommend the Russian manicure here and I'll be trying other services as well.

Overall amazing experience! Never been one to get a tattoo or do any sort of permanent makeup so…read moregoing in was unsure what to expect. Char is super flexible with scheduling, sends over detailed and important information prior, spends ample time during the consultation to achieve the exact look, and made the entire process stress free. What surprised me is the pain level or I guess lack of pain during the appointment and such ease of care afterwards. She's super soft handed and detail oriented. Wish I did this years ago.

I have wrestled with the idea of microblading for over 2 years. As a professional, I like to look…read morefresh faced and not overdone. Most days at 5am, trying to get eyebrows to look symmetrical was such a chore, and I was tired of spending so much time and money on a million different eyebrow/makeup products. Despite my frustration, I was absolutely terrified to do microblading for the following reasons: 1) fear of "tattoo green" looking eyebrows 2) afraid it would affect my eyebrow hair growth 3) it was permanent forever 4) the artist would pick the wrong shape. I researched over 150 microblading artists, even in different states, because it was important to me to pick the right artist for my needs. Then I found Binx! Charlene is a p e r f e c t i o n i s t! She made sure my eyebrows look so natural! Just what I was hoping for. She educated me on everything. Microblading is semi-permanent and typically lasts about two years. Touch ups are recommended every few months as needed. It also does not affect hair growth. My new eyebrows only require minimal grooming. There was absolutely no pain, and the color was perfect! It was so subtle, even my closest friends didn't notice it was microblading! If you are on the fence, Charlene is your girl!

Melissa did a fantastic job on my eyebrows! I had the ombré powder brows done and I love how…read morenatural looking and color-matched they are.

This was truly a family affair. My sister in law got her brows done by Karlie a few months ago and…read moreI thought it looked amazing, but I wasn't ready for that commitment yet. Fast forward to me going to the dentist and my hygienist stops and says, "do you have a sister name Mel..?? I just did touched up her brows yesterday!" What a small world! At this point I was "shopping around" for brows and the answer was as clear as day. Go to the girl who's already had her hands in your mouth and you've seen her bomb ass work. Hahaha! The rest is history.... :) since then my mother in law has also gotten her brows done and we all three walk around super feeling ourselves cause Karlie is amazing. Don't waste your time shopping like I did. Just go to Karlie! :)
