This is coming a little late but I wanted to take a moment to thank Linh for taking care of me on my wedding day. I don't think I could have trusted anyone else to ensure that I was looking my best. A couple of months before the wedding, during a trial, we talked about color, natural looks, and what I'd feel comfortable with. She cleaned up my brows and made suggestions for what would look best for my big day, including what kind of lashes would work best for me. Her consultation was really professional and made me feel comfortable. With her guidance, I ordered what she recommended and, of course, for my actual wedding day, I left everything at home instead of bringing them to the hotel!! Omg... thankfully, Linh had extras of everything I'd need. She made it work, including back up lashes, and told me not to panic. The customer service, preparedness, kindness, and care really helped to make my day go smoothly. I can't believe I blanked out on such important stuff, but she had me covered. She even helped one of my bridesmaids when that wasn't part of the original plan. I had a truly great day, and it helped to have Linh start my morning off right. Her comforting smile and calm demeanor was such a welcome. Thanks Linh!! read more

I have dark and thick brows. They are unruly and stubborn. But with the right hands and skill, they are one of my favorites features on myself. I've tried and gone to endless brow places (in the East Bay, SF and along the Peninsula) over the last ten years - tried everything from just tweezing, waxing and threading - some have been great, some have been not so great. But none have understood me and my brows like Lyn does. She has a knack and eye for natural beauty and seriously brings out the best in your features. My most recent brow experience before going to Lyn left my brows in a disastrous state. Too thin and uneven. As someone with thick and dark brows, it was truly an insecure and vulnerable place to be in. So, again, I was in search of my next brow person. I've always admired Lyn's work on Instagram, so was so excited to see that she was offering appointments again. I signed up for a 'Full Brow Transformation'. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, but I could not be happier with Lyn, the entire experience or how my brows turned out. The second picture is with my brows filled in, but even without them filled in, they look fantastic. I intend on seeing Lyn every couple weeks to maintain and update the shapes of brows - not just through my wedding in September - but for....like... read more

This was my first time getting my eyebrows threaded, ever and Lyn did them so beautifully! I was nervous going into it because I had one bad brow experience years ago, which led me to just maintaining them myself. I was so happy that I trusted Lyn to be the first one to touch my brows haha. She also filled them in and gave me advice on what products would work well with my thick eyebrows. Lyn was very sweet; very good service! Would highly recommend for anybody who wants to get their eyebrows done! read more

I was never a "brow" girl maybe because I didn't know what I could be doing right! Luckily with Lyn I saw the light. I was looking for a new look and quickly booked her on her IG when I saw she was taking clients. Not only did she groom my brow with a threading technique she filled them in a way I have never seen before! I've been working with talented makeup artists for over ten years but haven't seen anyone perfect their craft like lyn! read more

Lyn is amazing! My first eyebrow threading experience was with her, every since then she's my go to BROW QUEEN. She's friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Location is convenient and parking was easy. Clean and hygienic. I highly recommend her to anyone. You will walk out feeling fabulous! read more

I personally only trust myself with taming my brows, but after today I CAN trust Lyn with my brows! She did a FULL BROW TRANSFORMATION for me and it turned out better than I expected. The last time I threaded my eyebrows was about 2-3 years ago and I remember it being painful to the point it made me tear up. I'm not sure what Lyn did differently, but it didn't hurt as much as I remembered. She walked through every step of the brow transformation with me and every step had me SHOOK. The more she worked on my brows, the more I saw the potential in my brows, brow-tential??? Before filling in my brows, Lyn ASKKKEDDD me how I usually like my brows done (dark, light, natural). She didn't go running with how she wanted them to be done. She took into consideration my preferred brow style! I've always had a hard time filling in my brows, but Lyn gave me lots of tips and tricks that I'll now be using. And not only did she did she snatch my brows, she snatched my face with some light bronzer and blush. I initially wasn't going to do anything for the day, but once the brows were done, I needed to be out and doing things for everyone to see her work! I honestly am so happy with my brows and definitely trust with. She also has other services that I have yet to experience, but I believe that she is just as great. Other: Her booking is easy and quick! Something I really liked is that the booking app she uses will remind you the day before about the appointment -- I forget everything so this was helpful! Lyn is super sweet and nice. I felt very comfortable with her. I think this is very important because you don't want want to feel uncomfortable when someone is touching your precious brows! I came in on a Saturday morning at 11 am and got lucky to find street parking right across the street. If you come during a busy hour, try parking at the Jack London square public parking and scooter or walk over. By the time I left, there were many cars roaming around for parking. Overall: 5/5 rating! read more

As I guy, I get my brows done from time to time. For my profession, I am on the camera quite often for commercial shoots. Having them done by Essenī Studio guarantees that I won't appear on the screen looking like a caveman. Thanks for all the facial tips as well! read more

Brow queen! I don't know anyone who is more excited for bushy brows than Lyn is because let me tell you, the threaded transformation is REAL. Lyn has been doing my brows in the span of 5 years and I promise you I won't let anyone tame these babies except for her. The time I spend applying my everyday makeup has shortened now that she has cleaned and defined my natural eyebrow shape. I even texted Lyn days after telling her how beautiful and confident I feel without makeup now haha. I'm already thinking of how easy it will be to gift my family and friends for the same lovely experience. Thanks so much for accommodating me in such late notice and look forward to booking you ladies for other beauty services as well xoxo read more

Linh is absolutely amazing! The first time I got my makeup done by her was when I was only 17 years old and it was for my junior prom. She did my makeup recently again for my 21st birthday and I was in love! She is extremely professional and cleanly throughout the entire makeup application process. Linh and I have built a friendship over the years and I'm always so excited to see her and to get glammed up by her. Love you Linh!! read more

I'm not a girly girl or too much into makeup, but I do believe in keeping one's self groomed. I always go to her to have my eye brows and upper lip threaded. She's great & quick! Whenever I do decided to get a little glammed up, Lyn really listens to me and understands what I want. I personally don't like the full-blow, Instagram look and told her I prefer something more simple and classic. She definitely catered to my wants and needs as opposed to just doing my face up however she feels. I truly feel like she works with you to create a look that's suited for you as opposed to forcing her own style or the current trends(unless that's what you want of course). The over all vibe of the area is clean, professional, and homey. Much like her! She keeps everything organized, acts very professional, but definitely still has a very open and welcoming personality! I can't wait to work with her again in the future! read more

I highly reccomend Lyn for your make-up needs! I can be picky and nervous about who touches my face (especially my brows), but Lyn makes me feel at ease! I don't consider myself a make-up expert at all, but Lyn has educated me so much during our sessions. She reccomends me different techniques and products, and she answers all the questions I have. I never thought I'd enjoy threading my eyebrows as much as I do now. Lyn is extremely careful and detailed about her work and clients. She has been working so hard, I'm so happy to see her and Trish growing their business and I'm so confident in their success! Don't miss out on your chance to work with these beautiful, talented ladies! They'll definitely leave you feeling godly read more
