Natalie is amazing!! She's been my girl for the past 3 years, and I literally drive 1.5 hours from LA just for her services. She always makes me feel so comfortable, and you can truly tell she knows exactly what she's doing. I finally decided to get lip blush done, and she walked me through the entire process so thoroughly and made me feel at ease every step of the way. My brows and lips have never looked better If you're in OC, she's definitely your go-to eyebrow + lip blush girlie! read more

Recently saw Ashley for some brow tweezing and henna. WOW. There's just something about Ashley's work that speaks for itself. She does an amazing job figuring out what shape and color work best and just livens up your face. Ashley is so talented at what she does. I made sure to keep on the henna for the recommended time and I woke up with the most beautifully clean brows. I definitely recommend Ashley for beautifully detailed brows. As a warning, the place that Hairy Little Things is located can be difficult to find parking at. The traffic can also be bad, depending on where you are driving from. I wasn't aware and was quite late to my booking. It might be helpful to include this in a confirmation text to future clients. read more

I've been hesitant to get my brows done for the past 13 years, but finding Ashley on social media changed that. I loved her work, so I booked a brow lamination and henna, and it did not disappoint. She did an absolutely amazing job! I'm genuinely shocked at how good my brow shape looks. She got it perfectly, and she was so incredibly sweet throughout the whole appointment. I'm so excited to see what my brows look like after the henna fades a tad as they are dark the first day obviously! The studio itself is adorable, and everyone who works there is so kind. Truly 100% worth it--book with Ashley! I'll definitely be coming back. read more

I really wanted to love my experience here because this salon came highly recommended, but I left feeling pretty disappointed. I came in for a brow lamination and lash lift (around $300 before tip) as a trial for my wedding and a trip to Mexico. When I arrived, Mollie was over 10 minutes late to my appointment, which was a little frustrating especially since they ask clients to arrive early. Mollie herself was very sweet and I did have a nice experience during the appointment. My brows initially looked great, so no complaints there at first. For my lashes, I followed all aftercare instructions and actually waited about 36 hours before getting them wet. Unfortunately, I noticed pretty quickly that my lashes were almost completely straight. Now, not even two weeks later, I'm already having to curl them again and you can't really tell I had a lash lift done at all. I've had lash lifts and laminations multiple times before, so I do have a good frame of reference, and this one just didn't take. On top of that, it's now been just over two weeks and my brows are already starting to lose their shape and fall, which feels a lot sooner than expected. I reached out to the salon through their "contact" tab on their website (twice) with the below message and never received a response, which was honestly the most disappointing part: "I followed all of the aftercare instructions and actually waited about 36 hours before getting them wet, but I noticed pretty quickly that my lashes were almost completely straight. Now that it's been just over a week, I'm already having to curl them again, and you honestly can't tell I even had a lash lift done. I'm super bummed, especially since I booked this as a trial for my wedding. I've had lash lifts and laminations a few times before, so I know what to expect, and this one just didn't really take. I do want to say my brows look great and Mollie was so sweet, I had a really nice experience overall, just disappointed with how the lashes turned out. I totally understand your no-refund policy, but I wanted to see if there's any way this could be fixed or adjusted?" I wasn't even looking for a refund, just some kind of response or solution. Overall, just really bummed about how this played out given the price point and expectations. read more

Alix the owner runs such a lovely business with an incredible team. I was able to get in quickly and had the best brow lamination + tint. Her associate Ashley was able to do a lash correction (got them done originally somewhere else) to look more natural! Results, cleanliness, and staff friendliness were 10/10! Will 1000% be back! Thank you! read more

I finally got my eyebrows microbladed after years of hesitation--and I'm SO glad I waited for Alixandria at Hairy Little Things! She is incredibly sweet, meticulous, and truly the best of the best.

I'll be recommending her to everyone I know! read more

Update: I did contact the owner, as per her request. Hoping to hear back soon. One of the hardest lessons to learn is how to advocate for one's self, even when it comes to beauty services. (Like hair, nails, eyebrows.) In today's society, asking for something to be fixed, or being unhappy with something, can get you labeled a Karen or hard to please. This year has been a test of this for me, and I continue to fail. :) That leads me to my review. I have wanted to get my eyebrows done for a while, but was too afraid. It's a big decision and not cheap. After a first session, then the follow-up, then a *third* session... I chalked up my experience to maybe something was wrong with me. Maybe my eyes aren't symmetrical. Maybe my face is too oily. Maybe I didn't sleep on my back enough... or didn't express what I wanted. Maybe maybe maybe. I know that eyebrows are to be sisters, not twins, but mine are distant cousins. The color match is great. That I love. Other than that, I've given up on them ever being even in shape and length. (Or, at least, closely matching.) The arch isn't the same height or placement on each side. The tail is thicker in width on one side. Other people have noticed things, but they tell me they look fine. I've accepted I will have to fill in the patchy areas. Slightly lengthen them, but I can't fix the shape. I'm just tired of trying and will have to wait my year and get them fixed. At this point, they can't be fixed because they need to fade first. My last thought after my last session was, "F-- this. I'm done." I'm not saying that you'll have the same experience, but make your decision wisely. read more

I've been getting my brows laminated by Natalie for a while now, and she seriously never misses. Every time I leave my appointment, my brows look amazing! I love how consistent she is and she never fail to make my brows look full, lifted and clean. No matter when I go, I know I'm going to get the greatest results each visit. She really knows what she's doing and makes the whole process super easy and comfortable. If you're thinking about trying brow lamination, definitely book with Natalie. She's the best! read more

Booked a brow lamination with Natalie, and my only regret is not doing this sooner! I've always struggled with my brows, and waxing wasn't cutting it anymore. I did a lot of research, and after seeing Natalie's work on IG, I decided to book with her. Natalie was so sweet and talked me through the whole process, and I love that she had me check her progress in the mirror several times to make sure I was happy (which I was!). I highly recommend and will definitely be back! read more

Beautiful Alexandria worked her magic and fixed a botched job on my eyebrows! I am so grateful to her and her honesty, as she told me I needed to have the old tattoos removed before she could do the proper job for me. I went to "The Removery" (tattoo removal) for three sessions in order to remove the bad tatt job I received from "Microblade Babe", and then, Alix worked her magic! Is Alix expensive? You bet! But I learned the hard way that you get what you pay for, and I had no problem paying Alix whatever she charged for her wonderful expertise and the FABULOUS results. Thank you, Sweet Alix for my new and AWESOME eyebrows! read more

First Time Microblading Brow Client - AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! I saw Natalie in January and March for my microblading appointments and the results are better than I even anticipated. Natalie provided an amazing consultation to help me determine what service would be best for my brows and then crafted the most perfect, symmetrical, and naturally beautiful brows that blended seamlessly with my natural hairs. I recently moved out of state and will be flying back to Costa Mesa for my annual touch ups with Natalie, because I will not let anyone else touch the perfect brows she created! Highly recommend her for all services. read more

I trusted the process and I couldn't be happier. I can wait for my lips to heal! Love this location, the receptionist was very helpful and sweet. read more

Hairy Little Things - Costa Mesa - She corrected my hyperpigmentation - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I have debated on whether or not I should post this review and decided on doing so because my initial appointment has deterred me from booking in the future. I was very excited and nervous to get my eyebrows done for the first time and ended up choosing Hairy Little Things for an eyebrow tint/lamination. I chose Hairy Little Things because their prices were higher than other salons in the area and I equated the higher price point with an elevated level of service. Unfortunately, this was not my experience. As someone who has been terrified of getting their brows done, I decided to book with the owner Alex. The appointment was off to a good start. I mentioned that I had never gotten my brows done before and that I was hoping for a subtle look and Alex said she would let me know if that would be doable with my brows. Without notifying me of the process, Alex started applying the chemicals to my eyebrows and I immediately felt a burning sensation to my eyes. She then warned me about the chemical, but only after the fact. Again, I've never had my eyebrows done before, but I assumed that it was going to be a relaxing experience and it was definitely not. The office space is not very private and there are multiple people receiving treatments at the same time with multiple conversations going on. What was really off-putting to me was Alex's demeanor during the appointment. She spent the entirety of the appointment trying to figure out who was going to be working at the Lido location the following day. One of the other estheticians was seemingly out of town for her bachelorette party and there seemed to be a staffing problem. During that discussion with the front desk assistant, she then asked her to call her next client in early. As a business owner I understand the stress of running a business but the fact that there was time in between appointments to figure that out made me feel like my appointment was just extra office time for her. The other estheticians seemed to be engaged with their clients while Alex seemed more concerned with getting as many clients in and out. My eyebrows ended up being more intense that I hoped but I still tipped 20% on my service. When I went to thank Alex after filling out the receipt she was already gone. I did not walk out feeling like a valued customer. With that being said, this place definitely has potential. I personally did not feel like that price justified the service and experience I received. read more

The best!!!! I love this new location :) Alix and the girls always provide the best experience. Place is super cute and clean. Make sure you come here if you want professional microblading/lashes services done, you won't regret it. read more

I had my lips blushed by Natalie and honestly, I couldn't be happier with the experience. I went with a very natural shade, and she absolutely nailed it--just the right tint to enhance my natural lip color without looking overdone. It wasn't painless, but totally manageable, and Natalie made the whole process so comfortable. She's a true perfectionist and really took her time to make sure everything was even and exactly how I wanted it. If you've been thinking about doing lip blushing, I highly recommend her--she's wonderful and really cares about getting it right read more

If you are looking for the perfect place for micro-blading your eyebrows that will give you amazing results and also offers exceptional customer service, then you have found the right place! Someone at my work recommended HLT so I checked out their website and found Jessica. After seeing her work on social media, I was immediately drawn to her! She is a true artist and a master at her craft. She answered all my questions and just couldn't be any sweeter. She took my pencil thin eyebrows and made them into a work of art that immediately boosted my confidence. I'm so lucky to have found her and HLT! read more

Hi Alexandria, I appreciate your response. Here's where the problem lies: I booked microblading, which includes two full sessions, so that is what I expect. I understand that you accidentally booked my mother-in-law with a senior artist, but that is not what I communicated to Mariah. I was clear with manager Mariah when I booked the appointment that $625 was outside my budget (or as you put it, "I cannot afford"), which is why I did not book that stylist. When I booked the appointment, I did not even use the stylists' names; I referred to them by their price. I am not sure how Mariah made the mistake. Again, I am not sure how any of this is fair to me or my mother-in-law. Jessica did not complete the job because she was factoring in the touch-up appointment. So, I essentially paid $380 for an incomplete session, and you are calling that fair? Thank you for understanding my concerns. read more

I cannot say enough good things about my experience here! My first service was seeing the owner, Alix, for MICROBLADING on my brows, and she did the best job! I get compliments almost daily on them. My second service was for an eyelash lift before a vacation and that was done so well and the little boost I needed before my trip! That service was done by Meaghan. My third service that I got a few weeks ago was lip blushing by Natalie and I couldn't rave more about it! She took about 30 minutes outlining and getting the shape just right, which I loved because it showed she really cared and was taking her time. She mixed my color and it was exactly what I was looking for! The healing process was super easy and she even followed up with me to see how it was coming along. I can't wait for my touch up in April to see the final results that will last two-three years! Highly recommend! read more
