OK, the fact that I drive all the way from Daly City to visit this place should speak for itself--…read morehowever, allow me to say more. The reason I make this trek every couple of months is that every time I walk out of that salon, my hair is perfect, and I feel about ten years younger. The first time I visited, looking in the mirror was strangely like looking at myself after a full makeup job. The two women who own the place are friendly and warm, and are absolute artist/ perfectionists, both of them. Glad I got the chance to give them the rave they deserve.

I just love Melissa! She knows what she's doing. Whether it's color or cut, she's a true artist. She's also not a bullshitter. She's not going to tell you something will look good, if she doesn't think it will. She tells it as it is. She also does spray tans as well, which is great before a trip! She's also very funny and easy to chat with and very patient! So now Melissa has become our family hair stylist. Both of my daughters go to her and they love it! My 7 year old feels so adult when she's there.My mom also goes to Melissa now too and feels that for the first time in 3 years she loves the way her hair looks! 2 thumbs up for Melissa!

**More than just a makeover!**…read more I was looking for ways to refresh my look and shake off my post-COVID work-from-home rut. I left not only with a polished daytime look that can easily transition into evening, but also with thoughtful advice on skincare, diet, gut health--and a much-needed reminder to drink more water (ugh) . It was a genuinely lovely way to spend the afternoon. The booking experience was smooth, and Christina was fun, patient, and focused on working with the makeup and skincare I already own. There was no pressure to buy anything, though she did recommend a few products I'm excited to explore once I finish what I have.

**Absolutely Incredible Experience!**…read more I had the most amazing session with Christina! She was incredibly patient and took the time to teach me multiple looks, from everyday natural to night-out glam to elevated, polished styles, all using the makeup I already had. She never made me feel rushed and answered every single question I threw her way. We talked through skincare, routines, and step-by-step techniques, which made everything feel so approachable and easy to recreate on my own. She even encouraged me to try colors I was honestly scared to use before, and they ended up looking *fabulous* on me. I left feeling more confident than ever. To top it all off, she sat down with me afterward and helped me pick out new makeup to round out my collection. Her knowledge, kindness, and genuine passion for what she does made the whole experience unforgettable. I can't recommend her enough!
