I could write a book on how wonderful this business is. Christen, Julie, and Brittany are extremely talented, professional, and kind. Beauty treatments always make me a little nervous, but the girls at Gild make them fun. I have now had my eyebrows waxed, a PCA chemical peel, and today Christen did microblading on my eyebrows. I am in love with my eyebrows now! They look so natural and I know exactly how to take care of them thanks to Christen's thorough explanation. If you haven't been to Gild you are missing out! read more

I literally could go on and on about how amazing these girls are all day long but I feel like you should just go check them out for yourselves. Brittany and Julie are always my go to wax connoisseurs as well as a therapy session at the same time. That is how comfortable you feel with with beauties. Couldn't imagine myself going anywhere else. Thank you so much girls. read more

I love Brittany at Gild beauty bar! She's phenomenal at what she does. I've worked with her many times and she's always professional, and goes out of her way to make sure the clients have a great experience. I highly recommend her for both waxing and makeup. Hands down of the best! read more

Brittany did my makeup this past Saturday for my wedding, and it was absolutely perfect! Brittany and her team were extremely organized and responsive from my initial contact with them back in January and were always prompt to answer my many questions. My makeup trial went beautifully and Brittany understood and executed exactly the vision I was looking for. My bridesmaids all raved about her too! Her sense of humor helped make the wedding morning super relaxed and enjoyable. I'll definitely use Brittany again... microblading might be next on my list! read more

Great location with a high-end ambiance and affordable prices, the staff was very professional and welcoming. This was my first time getting a facial and I feel brand new !! I appreciate the staff breaking down step by step the benefits of the facial and aftercare. This will now be my go to for skin care. Thanks read more

A shining light in Redding! The women at Gild are the perfect balance of professional and personable.

I highly suggest you get on her books asap if you want your makeup done for a special occasion! You won't be sorry! She is incredible at what she does and always in demand! Life is too short for bad brows! Let these girls help ya out! read more

I went here a couple years ago and i'm just now finally making my review because a friend of mine mentioned this place saying they had great reviews but i told her to be careful... I have always gotten my eyebrows waxed since I was 16 but when I went here they waxed my skin off with my eyebrows!! They blamed it on me for being the reason why it happened(they thought i was on medication which i'm not) but I have been to other places like mission beauty where no skin has ever came off. They did a horrible job and didn't offer me a refund for ripping my skin off. Don't go here. Go somewhere that actually cares about what they do to you, not just about money. These girls were way too superficial when I went in and made me have a HORRIBLE experience. They were so rude and unwelcoming, spend your money elsewhere. read more

A big thank you to Gild Beauty Bar for your generous donation to the Catalyst Youth Fundraiser. We love the support of local businesses. You guys do amazing makeup and brows! read more

My review is well overdue, but 6 months after being microbladed by Julie, I am still beyond thrilled w/ the results and get compliments almost daily! I've known and admired Julie's artistry since her days at the Benefit counter at Macy's more than 10 years ago. I have some serious brows and I love that Julie also appreciates a nice, full brow so scheduling with her when I decided I wanted to have my brows microbladed was a no brainer -- even though I no longer live in Redding and had to travel from the SF area. It was totally worth it! The measuring, brow mapping, color selection and blade selection (different thicknesses to match your hair width!) process takes the bulk of the appointment time, because Julie is meticulous about not only getting things "right", but making them what you want them to be (so totally speak up!). She even went so far as to use 2 different colors on my brows -- darker in the spots where my natural growth is more sparse and lighter where I didn't need as much "enhancement". Once we figured out the mapping, she used lidocane cream to numb my brows, which made the process totally tolerable; I honestly didn't even feel the majority of the strokes and the ones I did feel were only uncomfortable vs painful. The blading process only took about 30 minutes, despite the high number of strokes she put in, because Julie is a total pro. She also does that tricky thing doctors and nurses have perfected wherein she chats super nonchalantly w/ you to distract from the work she's doing that might freak you out if you think too much about it (aka me with every blood draw and shot of my life). Once she was done, we checked them out together in a couple of different lighting situations and decided to add a few more strokes here and there until I was satisfied w/ the end result (again, speak up!). Julie provided very clear after-care instructions, including details about the different stages of healing (most importantly -- be patient, it's a process!) and the perfect amount of ointment to keep my skin protected in the first stages of healing. My touch up appointment went basically the same, but much quicker not having to go through the planning process and I have been nothing but thrilled with my results. I've always been a big believer that great brows are the "special something" that people often can't put their finger on, but that really makes someone look "put together" and now I don't have to fill them in every day to achieve that look! Not only do I receive tons of compliments, but many of them from gym classmates who see me literally dripping sweat and red-faced and who say I still look so put together -- it's the brows! I only wish I lived closer so I could refer more people to Julie and the Gild crew! read more

Gild is wonderful! I got my eyelashes done by Julie for my wedding and they're perfect. She makes you feel right at home and really does a great job at going over your options to help decide what's right for you. A little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for! Will keep returning! read more

Got my brows done here for the first time with Brittany today, and she is FAB! She is so funny, and inviting and the shop is gorgeous. I will definitely be back, thank you Brittany for the laughs and beautiful brows! read more

Brittany was referred to me by a friend of a friend to do makeup for my wedding. She did an amazing job, listened to me and made me feel so beautiful and special. She also did my sister's makeup. Understand my sister HATES makeup and Brittany made her feel very comfortable. I wish I still lived in Redding so I could go get beautiful more often! read more

I can't say enough amazing things about my experiences at GILD! Last year Brittany did the makeup for my wedding and it turned out better than I ever could have imagined. After going to Brittany for just over a year for my eyebrow waxing she told me about microblading. I had a few bald spots in my eyebrow so she recommended the Combo Powder Brow which is a new service they had recently started. Getting my eyebrows microbladed was the best decision I could have made! I don't have to worry about filling them in and they look completely natural. All of the girls in there are so knowledgeable and you can tell they care so much about their clients! I would highly recommend all of the services they offer. read more

Absolutely darling spot in Redding. Julie has been doing my eyelashes for quite a while now, and I am so happy with them and her!! She is so professional, careful, and gifted at what she does! I love the new location/storefront - the girls did an AMAZING job with decorating it! I will definitely keep coming back :) read more

Had my eyebrows done here for the first time this week, and I am super happy with them! I was also really surprised by how quick they were-I was in and out of there within 10 minutes even though she was very thorough. Will go back! read more

Brittany and Julie are an extremely talented team and you won't find anyone like them anywhere else! The shop is so beautiful! Brittany has done my makeup and has waxed my brows and she literally walks you through the process and makes sure the result is what you want. Gild is a true gem! Thank you thank you! read more

Julie has been taming my brows for upwards of four years now. Not only is she a joy to be around, her work and class speaks for itself. From the first time she did my brows she made me feel comfortable, even when my brows were comparable to that of caveman's! You won't be disappointed! When Julie is out of the office, Brittany is the only other woman I let touch my brows. These women are beyond amazing. read more

Amazing customer service, beautiful, clean, upbeat.... You will not be sorry..... If these girls ever move away, we will follow them ......The best in town!!!! read more

I always love my experience at Gild, but especially my last visit with Julie. She microbladed my brows and it was amazing! They turned out absolutely perfect! Not only is their whole shop friendly and professional, but I would recommend anyone thinking about microblading to go there. I've also had my lash extensions done there before and they were gorgeous. Thumbs up for Gild! read more

I'm not super amazing with yelp! I'm writing an update, because yelp won't let me do a 2nd review for the same business.... anyways.... I returned to GI/LD the day after my microblading appointment, and got lash extensions done by Julie... she was just as sweet and fun to talk with as Brittany! Her work is magical! I have had endless compliments, and I have so much more confidence since getting my new lashes, I literally love them so much. This was my first time doing lash extensions so I wasn't sure how they would hold up between appointments or if they would look obviously fake.... I am going in for my first fill tmrow (I waited the longest recommended -3 weeks between apts) and my lashes are still near perfect! I've never been very flashy or much of a makeup person, and Julie matched my lashes to my style perfectly... The girls at gi/ld are the best ever!!!!! 5 stars are nowhere near enough! read more

Made an appointment for a bikini wax on our road trip through town. Beautiful, clean space and very pleased with the results from Brittany. Really enjoyed chatting with her! Will definitely stop here on my next trip through the area. read more

Cute comfy salon~adorable talented Christen expertly shaped my brows~tinted the redness and tidied me up so I could run meet friends for coffee instead of home to degrease. Check out Christen and this gem! read more

Ok, so I have never walked out of a salon absolutely thrilled with my eyebrows, typically its a mild dissatisfaction at the whole experience.. BUT Julie changed that all for me! As soon as she was done, I was in love with my eyebrows! She was so easy going and fun to be around and absolutely fantastic at what she does. I also went in to have my first bikini wax ever, as you can probably relate I was pretty unnerved at the prospect, and dreading the appointment slightly. Brittany made the whole experience incredibly comfortable and had me laughing the whole time. I never once felt uncomfortable or judged, it was quick, easy, and not as painful as I thought. I would give the girls at GILD 10 stars if possible, they are amazing!!! read more

My hairstylist recommended Brittany when I was discussing my wedding with her. After I took a look at her FB page and saw her work, I was immediately convinced. I was looking for someone who could give me a flawless classy look and not cake so much makeup on me that I cannot recognize myself. I did not get a chance to do a trial run with Brittany because I lived 4-5 hours away but I was not to worried. Thankfully, I was not mistaken. Brittany did a wonderful job and made it fun and relaxing. I needed my makeup done for three separate events in Chico & Sacramento and Brittany and her assistant were not only willingly to accommodate the distance but the early time of 4am on one of the days! read more

I've been waxing with Brittany for about six months now, and I've never had a bad experience! Brittany is absolutely amazing, she's very picky and won't let you leave until you look flawless!! One of my favorite things is that I always feel comfortable, while she is waxing it's like talking to one of my girlfriends! It's clean, decorated nicely and so easy to book an appointment. Prices are all around reasonable, especially for everything they offer! Its always good vibes and just a real easy going atmosphere. I always feel most confident when my eyebrows are flawless and that's exactly what they do :) LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!! I wish I could give 10 stars read more

I have been seeing Julie for waxing my brows for about the past five years! She is hands down the best brow artist I have seen! I love that I can go get my brows done and she automatically knows what to do with out me saying a word! She is very talented! Scheduling an appointment with her is so easy and she makes you feel at home during the entire appointment! Gild is such a cute salon- the location is great, everything is very clean and the decor is fab! read more
