Elisha is amazing! First of all, she was so accommodating. I was 10 min late for my appointment,…read morebut since she had a client right after, she told me that she wouldn't be able to finish my lashes that day. However, she said I could re-book for free (which I did). I bought the Groupon for $50, and I have to say, this is definitely the best deal I've gotten so far. It also comes with a touch-up if you go back within 4 weeks. The salon is inside Pin & Tuck, in a cute, kind of hipster area of downtown Oakland. Elisha was prepared when I arrived about 15 min early, and quickly got me settled in. She's really professional, explained the process well and made sure I was comfortable throughout. I even fell asleep while she was doing my lashes. On to the lashes themselves: I got the "natural" look which was absolutely perfect for everyday wear. My friends have all commented on how great they look, and seriously, it's nice to wake up already looking good. The lashes are really light, and you get used to them within 10 min of walking out of the salon. They feel a lot less synthetic than a lot of other falsies. So far, they still look perfect and it's been a week. I'll definitely be coming back!

I had my first microdermabrasion with Paula yesterday, after seeing a deal on Groupon. This…read moreexperience was amazing..the whole process lasted TWO HOURS and it definitely relaxed me to the point where I fell asleep a couple times. The Groupon also included a paraffin hand treatment, but be forewarned that the paraffin is scalding hot when you dip your hands in. Paula started out with a facial, including extractions. I actually think that during the extractions, she was also tweezing the little hairs on the area between my nose and cheek! Never had an esthetician do that before but I actually appreciated that. Then came the microdermabrasion and then after that was a very thorough arm, chest, shoulder, scalp and face massage. That was what made her stand out from the other estheticians I've been to. It wasn't a quick lotion rub down. I love a good massage. Just when I thought it was over, then came a cooling seaweed mask which was left on my face for 20 minutes. There was a lot of other steps to my experience with Paula but I'm highlighting the points that makes her stand out. Her office is in a suite of other businesses, which includes a private parking lot in back. That is a big deal, when located on busy Santa Clara St. After it was all over, she showed me my dead skin and all the gunk she got out from the extractions. It's the day after, and my skin is feeling and looking smooth and soft. I definitely plan on going back. Who knows...if she keeps this up, I may have to switch over from the regular esthetician I've been seeing for over 12 years and buy a series of facials.

Hope you are all staying healthy + safe during this time! Felicia + Novalash results = a forever customer!

I noticed she wants her clients to have a quality experience. This is shown in her work and knowledge. I feel very comfortable anytime I get a service by her that I actually started trying new services-which I normally don't do lol- and enjoyed each one! Recently she waxed my eyebrows and did a tint. It turned out so well! I feel like I don't even have to use a brow pencil anymore. Thank you so much Janelle for always being so kind and ensuring your clients enjoy their services your the best!

I came across Yelp reviews and learned about Lush Eye Bar. I met with Thanh, who educated me about lash growth and the lifespan of each lash, explaining how they differ.

Thanh is patient, provides great recommendations, and has extensive knowledge gained from over a decade of experience. I look forward to staying with Thanh and continue to see her every 2-3 weeks for maintenance. Thank you, Thanh!

Now, I just get facials with Jinny. And you know what?! My skin looks better than ever. I've even had to start scheduling my husband every time I go because he loves getting facials with Jinny, too. He has always been self-conscious about his skin (teen acne stays with us even after the pimples are gone).

I knew from how my friend's brows looked that I was going to be in good hands, and I was not disappointed. Alexis put. in. work and meticulously removed hair from where it didn't belong and helped devise a plan for getting hair back where it had been overplucked. I was VERY pleased when I left and will definitely be returning as a regular client. On a side note her studio space is not only warm, welcoming, clean, and comfortable but also just absolutely STUNNING.

I just left Colourbum and I'm just in total bliss! Alexis was attentive, informative, educational,…read morefriendly, and sooooo detailed! I've been to every slow, and speedy waxing location you can think of and I've had hard, soft and sugar wax applied; nothing has come close to Colourbum! I walked in and was greeted with a smile, I waited about 10 seconds before Alexis came to get me. The space was beautifully decorated with just the right amount of glitter, and hues of blues to put even the manliest of dudes at ease. After a pleasantly brief introduction I climbed atop the mermaid table; no amount of preparation could've paved the way for my experience. The wax was not too hot, the hand was not to heavy, I could've stayed longer if she let me. This was my first time with Colourbum so I was a little nervous but by the time I left it felt like I'd known Alexis all my life. I'm really picky bc I had the same "wax lady" for years, I'm so glad I made the switch and I can't wait to go back. I walked in feeling like a wild animal, I walked out clean as a whistle. Speed waxers will tell you that the first time back after a hiatus simply cannot be as thoroughly executed, but there's not a hair to be found ANYWHERE!' From the service list to the wall accents, Colourbum stands out above all the rest. You won't be disappointed!! PS. There's plenty of parking on the street but Wednesday between 11 & 1 is Street sweeping right in front...

Not only is she super close by, making logistics a breeze, she is also an artist and a perfectionist! She is so good at making my lashes just right for my face and my eye shape. She listens to me and is always polite, patient, and attentive. I'll tell her certain things that I like and prefer and she always does her very best to be super accommodating. I find her price point to be extremely fair. Especially for the work she does. Easy when it comes to scheduling too. Very communicative and as sweet as can be. You go Janice! The space is shared and open. I'm used to private studios when I've gotten my lashes done in the past, but the building interior is so large, with high ceilings, that it doesn't matter that there are other people around. It gives Grecian vibes with these big ornate columns in the room. The aesthetics are cute and pretty in the shop too. I always appreciate the little touches in the bathroom.

This review if for Hayley's eyelash extension service (I had an old review at her previous location…read moreso this is long overdue). I wish I had a more glamorous photo to share of my eyelash extensions but I decided to just take one now on a whim for this review. So this is what my lashes look like, straight out of bed, no brushing. This is it and it looks great. This photo is taken a couple days after a fill. Hayley is very good and I get the impression that she takes a lot of pride in her work. She's actually pretty fast given that she lashes almost every single lash, if not every single lash. I would know since I used to get "one to one" lashes with her. I am pretty particular about my extensions. And for me, her extensions last a long time. They still look really amazing at the end of 4 weeks. I also personally like them "not too long" since I also wear glasses and I like a mix of lashes. Hayley is really wonderful at what she does. I appreciate that she allows me to relax and sometimes even fall asleep during the fills. Even at 39 weeks pregnant with a giant belly, she offers these wedge pillows to make you more comfortable so you can lie on your side for the fills--which I think is very thoughtful and kind of her, especially because it seems like an inconvenience for her to be lashing at a weird angle. I actually have tried a few of the other technicians (Sandy and Daisy) and they are also very nice and good at what they do. Hayley is my favorite though so I will be getting my lashes done by her for as long as she is working! I've been with her for four years now. I highly recommend her. I'm sure she also provides other services that are wonderful, but I have yet to try them. Thanks Hayley!
