HighBrow Beauty - Lash lift and tint - Hair Removal Near Me - San Diego, California

Beautiful people doing beautiful things for me. Am I more cuter-er? maybe could I recognize myself??, yep Did they do amazing stuff to my face? Me thinks so. when was the last time you felt pretty? Oh so pretty?? This place is designed to make you feel respected and pretty. If you like somebody obsessing over your eyebrows more than you ever will in your entire life in a 30 to 45 minute window then yes come here. They are really into eyebrow. Most people have two eyebrows styles. I "got it right" and "I messed up" that's it. This place has over 20 different kind of eyebrow styles that you can. Do they even have names for them. If you need, call um. They have talent. read more

Had a wonderful time, would do it again in a heartbeat! She is meticulous and very kind.

My experience could have been better! While doing my eyebrows it was very rushed and nonchalant. I was asked to a add gratitude on the card after my service, which can be awkward when asked by the person who did your service. Lastly, I was asked additional questions about my appearance that made me feel less than. Not horrible but I think there is better. read more

I'm long overdue in writing this review. I've been going to HighBrow Beauty and seeing Beverly for my lashes for several months. If you're looking for an A++++ aesthetician for your lash work, look no further. She does absolutely amazing work and after each and every session I am beyond pleased. In addition, she has an amazing disposition. I struggle with intermittent back issues as well as some anxiety that sometimes makes it difficult for me to stay still for long periods of time. Whenever I need a little break Beverly is more than gracious and patient while I sit up, stretch and take a needed break. My lashes are one of the few guilty, vain pleasures I allow myself in these difficult economic times in large part because of Beverly. I would give her more than five stars if I could!! read more

Let me preface this with saying I've been coming here for 2 years. Always added tips to 95% of every service I've had done here. 3 weeks ago I did a lash service with Beverly and she did a great job, we ran out of time because she had another client and didn't add as many lashes as she wanted on my fill from a previous lash bar. She stated she wouldn't charge me next time because she didn't make the lashes as full as she would have liked due to time constraints. She stated she would make a note of not charging me on my account before I left. Today I come in and get another fill. 1. Beverly forgot she had this conversation with me and didn't make a note (I'm guessing because she had a client right after me) she was about to charge me full price until I mentioned the conversation. 2. She could not find the note but gave me a discount which I added tip to (mind you I wasn't even supposed to be charged). 3. When she couldn't find the note she tried to insinuate I was looking for free services in front of other clients. Point 3 was unnecessary, unkind and disrespectful for no reason especially when you couldn't even remember the conversation and didn't make a note. I'm not desperate for free services Beverley and have never asked for it since going to highbrow beauty for 2 years, that's ridiculous. It is possible that I misunderstood what she was referring to when she mentioned she wouldn't charge me next time but she couldn't even remember the conversation to clear up if there was a misunderstanding and just became defensive, had she remembered it would have cleared our mutual confusion. I will miss getting my eyebrows done by Lana who does an amazing job but I'm not going to continue supporting a rude and condescending business owner over something that could have been easily handled much better and more professionally. I am very big on customer service so this place is now a no for me. read more

My first experience was awesome very professional when I first walked into the salon. It was like a great big hug, very good energy.As well as welcoming read more

I love my lash lift. First time doing it and it went really well. As a Korean, I didn't want it to be dramatic like others prefer it to be. I actually really don't like those. It looks very natural and still very beautiful, unlike traditional eyelash extensions. I don't need mascara or lash curler anymore. I love it. Parking was easy too read more

Beverly is amazing! She is an expert esthetician and has been in the business for 20+ years. When I first went to Beverly, I was a few weeks away from getting my second microneedling appointment at another business. Come to find out that Beverly does microneedling, at an AMAZING price. She is so generous with the serums she uses on your face during this process, everything is incredibly sterile, and she gives you the most amazing facial beforehand to ensure your face is super clean before doing the microneedling. She was also very generous with the numbing cream, I essentially felt nothing. Bev you are the best!!! read more

I needed to get my brows done so that I would look good at a business gathering and tried coming here. They were efficient and my brows look great. read more

Alexis gave me the best brows of my life through a brow wax--and I'm a tough brow critic. I don't have easy brows; they're over plucked/have sparse spots, coarse, always want to grow in strange directions. I've never gotten them to look identical which is a big thing for me, and SHE DID! If you're serious about your brows, this is the place to go. It was like a brow spa: laying down, gentle touch, extreme attention to detail. I almost fell asleep while Alexis worked her magic! I seriously don't know how she did it but I just know I'm grateful to have found her. read more

While Alana is sweet, I would never go back. I have never been to a manicurist in which part of the gel manicure wiped off literally 15 minutes after the process. The polish also chipped after just a few days. Limited color selection and rough when filing my nails. read more

Wow. I've had a lot of facials over the years but this one is memorable. In all the ways a facial should be good--soothing fragrances, warm applications, really exceptional massage of legs, feet, hand, head, arms--is what Launa delivered. It doesn't hurt that she is warm herself. Icing on the cake? Reasonably priced, easy parking, sparkling spa suite. Thank you and where have you been all my life? read more

I am super happy with the results of my brow tint and shape, and lash tint! I believe Beverly was the one to do it, and she was amazing. I haven't ever done a lash tint or brow tint before so I was a bit nervous, but she was awesome at what she does and I loved the results. Also, the salon itself had really easy parking with meters. It is right off of Balboa Park in the Bankers Hill area. read more

I was honestly nervous to try a new place but I couldn't be happier that I found my spot for eyebrows and lash lift! It was my first time doing lash lift and Launa made sure I felt comfortable and she explained everything I needed to know. She was very kind and I loved how they turned out! Launa also waxed my eyebrows and I absolutely loved them as well. I rely a lot on reviews to try new places so I'm writing this hopefully it helps somebody! read more

Hello! I've been trying to call your business phone number for 2 days to reschedule an upcoming appointment. Unable to leave voice mail or send a messPlease reach out or provide a valid phone number. Thank you 7/27 - still unable to reach anyone by phone. Is the business closed? read more

I paid 53$ for brow design and tint. The second I looked at them they were ugly, I didn't want to be rude and complain but when I back to my car in sunlight, the tint was too dark, gave me overly boxy shape at front end of brows and the shape wasn't even or specifically tailored to my shape. I've been to LA to have my brows done by another stylist and I know the potential of my brows and this wasn't cutting it ( I'll post a pic of them so you can see the difference and potential). I know remember why I've only been here 2 other times a year apart, never satisfied. Definitely not coming back at all. For the price you don't get your monies worth in terms of expertise, you can use same formula for every client. The customer service was great and Alexis was nice. My brows are ugly though. Update: I received a call from the owner Sean and he offered to refund and addressed the issue promptly. At least they are conscious of customer concerns. I will not be going back here but they handled it well. read more

Hi everyone! I moved to SD recently and was in need of a new brow waxing place! I'm very picky, so I decided to give HighBrow Beauty a shot after I read that all of their artists having been waxing for years. I have been seeing Launa for my past couple visits and she has been super helpful in designing my brows and showing me how to fill them in. What I love about this place and Launa is that they keep your brows as full and natural as possible. Their brow powder and double sided brush with a hard angle side and spoolie side are awesome as well! read more

Meghan at HighBrow hooked up my brows! She is an eyebrow goddess. I came in with my big, blonde, bushy brows and requested them to still be full with a clean up on the shape and an auburn tint to match my auburn hair. Meghan was extremely friendly and really made my eyebrows stand out! I have been getting compliments daily, will definitely be back!! read more

Highbrow Beauty is such a fabulous and professional salon...they have it all! Recently, I've been seeing their manicurist, Alana, and she does my nails to perfection! It always looks so fresh and beautiful--I will definitely be returning; and I am so glad to have found this salon! read more

I've been in the process of growing back in my brows for months after I had them messed up at another salon. I was apprehensive to try another salon again, but glad I did! Lea was able to give me the perfect shape and gave me tips to fill in the gaps. I'm in love with my brows again! read more

HighBrow Beauty - After brow clean up - Hair Removal Near Me - San Diego, California

Nikki is amazing. She has been doing my brows for the last few months. She always tries to shape my brows to my preference as well as what looks best with my face shape. Whenever I go, Nikki is pleasant and I don't waste time by waiting for her to be done with another customer. I usually go on during my lunch so I like appointments to be as efficient as possible. Parking can be annoying as there are only two spots without meters. But the meter parking isn't bad- they take both card and coins. I definitely trust Nikki enough to go to her right before any big event! read more

Had a great appointment with Beverly! My brows had gotten too thick after intentionally trying to brow them out, and I wanted them to be a bit more lifted and thinner a.la. Bella Hadid, and that's exactly what she provided. Very professional and prompt with her service, I'd recommend her to anyone looking for someone who knows the brow game read more

I got my brows done tonight by Meghan and she did an amazing job, she thoroughly went through what I wanted, and gave me the mirror to check the progress along the way. I love the outcome and she's super easy to get along which always makes these appointments better!! this whole shop should be your new go to, I've yet to have any sort of negative experience and I've had three different interactions with different ladies, but shout out to Megan!! All the stars for her customer service read more

I've been seeing Launa at HighBrow for the past six months and am SO thankful I started going. I went on a whim (after a local Yelp search) for eyebrow shaping and tinting. Since then, Launa has been my go-to for brows, lash tint + lift and spray tan. She truly is a master of it all!! Also, being fair with blonde brows and lashes I was hesitant at first, but she always makes me feel comfortable and gives me a natural look -- the confidence boost from what I get done can't compare. read more

I made my first appointment for a brow clean up last week and Nikki assisted me. I had three weeks of brow growth and had lost my shape. I have had bad dxperience with other establishments because they have waxed or plucked waaaay too much. Before getting started Nikki asked me what my shape preference was and which products i use etc. I told her I wanted natural and full eyebrows. Nikki took her time, made me feel comfortable (like talking to one of your girlfriends), and did an AMAZING job! My eyebrows have NEVER looked this good!!! I have received so many compliments! I cant believe i didnt find HighBrow sooner :) read more

I've been threading my eyebrows for years because my skin is so sensitive it turns bright red after and waxing. I decided to wax this time bc the lady I usually see for threading was not available. I booked an appt with Izabela and it was the best waxing experience I have ever had! I've been here twice and will continue to come back bc she has literally taken the fear out of waxing for me!! Love this place!! read more

HighBrow Beauty - Sorry it's dark but my brows are perfect! :) - Hair Removal Near Me - San Diego, California

Still as good as it gets; I'm still amazed with the quality of service here! My second time around I had an appointment with Isabella and I'm glad to say that I can trust both her AND Beverly with my brows, because come on ladies, how often can you trust more than one person with your brows? Isabella was quick, efficient, and personable as well. I appreciate the fact that she asked me how I wanted my brows (thick/thin, high arched, etc.) then walked me through with what she was going to do. I personally think both ladies have their own way/style but either way, the end product is beautiful and flattering. *EDIT: still lovvvvve this place however, though I know "eyebrows are sisters, not twins", I felt like one was thicker than the other. It's nothing eyebrow pencil/dip brow can't fix but with my pickiness it did bother me a little. read more

Booked an appointment with Launa for a lash lift and tint. I couldn't be happier. My lashes look fantastic!!! I highly recommend Highbrow Beauty. read more

I thought I would update my review and talk about my experience with Izabela. Beverly is usually my go to gal when I come here and I love the way she does my eyebrows. However, not reading all the details of my confirmation email for the appointment I booked online, I unknowingly scheduled an appointment with Izabela instead. I didn't want to cancel and reschedule again, so I decided to keep my appointment with Izabela. After reading all the glowing reviews of her, I wasn't really worried. Now, having had my appointment with Izabela, the only thing I can say is that Beverly and Izabela are a one-two punch. Izabela also does an exceptional job on brow design. She takes the time to explain what good brow shape should be and uses your own brows as a guideline. Then she tells you exactly what she plans to do before she lays any wax on your skin. I left a very satisfied customer with very clean, nicely shaped brows that weren't too think or too thin. It's comforting to know that if Beverly were unavailable or out of town, I know I can go to Izabela and she will do just as great of a job. This is probably the best place I have ever been to for brow design and I'm so happy to have found it. read more

Launa is THE BESTEST!!!! My eyebrows and eyelashes have NEVER looked sooooooo good!!!! Soooo excited to have found this amazing salon!!!!

I've come here twice now and got my lashes and brow tinted and loved it both times. I was pretty nervous the first time since I hadn't had my brows done in a few years but Meghan was really helpful and fun to talk to. She walked me through the process letting me check the shape and tint before she waxed. Ive always had uneven brows but Highbrow worked some magic and I'm super pleased with results. I'll definitely be going back for the other services they offer as well! read more

My brows look great! Cute little salon and great service. Very easy to book online. Laura did an amazing job

I'm so glad that I saw the Yelp reviews for this because Izabela basically changed my life with the way she does eyebrows. My eyebrows were super thin from getting them waxed too much and over plucking. I was growing them out and I finally couldn't take it anymore so I did loads of research and got them done here. Complete 180! My profile picture shows how thin my eyebrows were but the before and after pictures on this review will tell you more than the words I write. She took her time and gave me super sleek natural looking eyebrows. Couldn't be happier! I'll be coming back for maintenance and possibly to get my eyelash extensions as well. read more

I had been looking for a brow place in the Downtown area and came across HighBrow Beauty. I am so happy that I came to their salon. I did a Brow Design appointment with Lana and could not be happier with the results! Lana made my brows look so even and full. I am thrilled with the results and will continue to come back regularly. They also have a variety of other services that I am looking forward to trying in the future as well! Thank you, Lana! read more

After an underwhelming experience at a different brow place in San Diego, I looked to Yelp for advice and found HighBrow Beauty. Thank you Yelp for another good experience. I'll keep this short as there are tons of other reviews. My appointment was with Izabela and she explained what she was going to do with my brows. When she was finished waxing and tweeting, I looked at my newly shaped brows and felt like a new person. I don't know what it is, but every time I feel so much better after getting my brows cleaned up. She had me watch her fill my brows out, and it was so helpful to learn the technique. Now all I need to do is practice. I purchased some powder and went on my merry way, leaving a happy customer. I'll definitely be back in five weeks to get cleaned up again. Super cute place too! read more

I mean honestly, I don't need to tell you guys that I'm now a HighBrow lifer. At the last minute, my boss wanted to come with and Alexis and Izabela made it so easy to add someone on and move me up to the same time. Izabela was wonderful and helped me understand not only how my eyebrows were uneven (which seems easy enough, right? Not so easy even when you stare at them in the mirror trying to figure out why one brow is Gucci and the other is Walmart), but helped me also understand how to fill them in to correct it. She explained everything very thoroughly to me and afterward I realized that for the first time ever while getting my brows done, I wasn't worried in the slightest. She made me feel like I was in good hands! I didn't personally have Alexis, but spoke to her a little bit and she was super personable and funny. She did a banging job on my boss and I would definitely recommend them both. Thank you ladies! You'll be seeing me again! read more

Came upon this place via Groupon. Business is located within a business building type of location. Drove past it then decided to park to look for it. BTW I posted a picture of the store front (street view) Came for a brazilian where they use soft wax. Happy with the job, although some little hairs were left behind. I've been pretty consistent with my wax, haven't shaved/trimmed for the last 6 months and have been exfoliating with a scrub cleanser in the shower as well so I don't know why some little strays were left behind. I don't know if the aesthetician didn't check after the wax but the inner area wasn't bare the first time and she had to go in a second time after I noticed it myself. Fast job and friendly staff. read more

Ok...first, Beverly is #AWESOME and after being recommended by a close friend to go here for a waxing, reading Yelp reviews, and meeting this woman #IRL...I am convinced she is the BEST in town! So if you are thinking you need to get anything waxed off your body...please schedule an appointment with Beverly, you will not regret it! This was my second visit back to see Beverly who had done such an amazing job my first go round doing a Brazilian Sugar Wax that I had to come back! She made me feel so at ease the first time around (it's such an awkward thing...ya know) but once it was all over I was hooked! I'll be coming here for the rest of my life as long as Beverly is still making things happen at HighBrow Beauty! The first visit I called to make an appointment. For today's visit I scheduled online (less than 24 hours in advance - oops, sorry for the late add on a Friday afternoon, Beverly!) and the system is so easy and I quickly was notified that my appointment was accepted. I never have to wait more than just a few minutes and the staff there are always so friendly. I love the decor in this place! So cute and very comfortable furniture. They have great beauty products available to order online or purchase in person. They don't push any product on you, but it's displayed so nicely that you just want to look! So that makes service 5 stars...because you know you are getting what you came in for with no hassle, just a friendly face. Aagh! I could go on and on about HighBrow Beauty and Beverly, but at this point I'm sure you have stopped reading...and hopefully you started booking your appointment. Tell Beverly I told you to schedule an appointment with her! If I could give this place 6 stars, I would! read more
