Once you have had a Russian manicure you'll never go back to a generic nail salon again. 10 out of…read more10 on so many levels from Adinai and Anar Beauty Studio. Seriously though, after I leave Adinai I look down to admire her work and I truly feel like my hand belongs to a Kardashian. I moved to San Rafael from Los Angeles where I was getting Russian Manicures regularly. I found Anar Beauty Studio the month after moving here and have continued seeing Adinai every 5-6 weeks. She has the best selection of colors and is a master when it comes to suggesting the perfect shape that will compliment your hand/fingers. Her studio is clean, comfortable and easily accessible. I received my first pedicure at Anar Beauty Studio last month from Yulduz and not only was it the MOST comfortable pedicure chair I've ever sat in but it was a 10/10 experience. If you're north of the Golden Gate then look no further!

I cannot say enough good things about Anar Beauty Studio and Adinai…read more Adinai specializes in Russian manicures, and I am completely obsessed. I am definitely not someone who naturally has "hand model" hands, but somehow my nails always leave looking like I could be in a jewelry ad. The level of detail and precision is unreal. What I love most about Russian manicures is how long they last and how good they still look weeks later. Because of the meticulous cuticle work, the polish is applied so close to the cuticle that it takes much longer to get that obvious grown-out look you get with regular gel manicures. My friend and I literally compared nails and her 2-week-old manicure looked basically the same as my 4-week-old one. They are also incredibly durable. I have been getting Russian manicures for almost two years now, and with all my normal day-to-day activities like typing, cooking, dishes, laundry, gardening, and working out, I have not had a single chipped, broken, or split nail. Another unexpected benefit is how much healthier my hands look overall. Since I started getting Russian manicures once a month, I have not had the hangnails that used to constantly bother me. And Adinai herself is wonderful. She is sweet, kind, and a total perfectionist in the best possible way. She genuinely cares about how your nails turn out. Honestly, you should have seen the look of concern on her face when I accidentally put my thumb into the UV light at the wrong angle. She was immediately worried it would affect the shape of the builder gel. That level of care says everything. I recommend both this style of manicure and Adinai without reservation. Just know you will definitely need a reservation to see her, and she is absolutely worth planning ahead for.

Swannie truly personalizes every set to complement your face, and it shows…read more Since meeting her, I won't let anyone else touch my lashes. Her skill is on another level, and coming from the South Bay where I've tried so many artists, that says everything. The new office is super cute and relaxing. Safe area with plenty of parking too!

Not only is she incredibly talented at what she does, but she is also one of the kindest and sweetest people you'll ever meet. My lashes always looked amazing -- natural, full, and exactly how I wanted them every single time. She pays so much attention to detail and really cares about her clients and her work. Over the years, she became someone I genuinely looked forward to seeing, not just for beautiful lashes but also for her warm personality and positive energy. I highly, highly recommend her!!!

I wasn't sure what to do at first and Izabelle was able to recommend a lash length and style that would fit my eye shape. She's really friendly and definitely has knowledge on lashes and will be able to help find the best style for you. I will definitely be back to see her. I highly recommend her if you're looking to get some lash extensions!

I have been a 'lash extension' client of Jessica's for about 6 months now. I never thought I'd be…read moreso consistent with such a service, but every time she was finished and handed me the mirror, I just thought 'WOW'!!! I have small eyes and short lashes which can make me look tired even when I'm not. With Jessica's craft, I feel like it wakes up my entire face and the best part is that it looks....NATURAL! Some people might comment, "you look really good or rested, etc.." but my eyelashes are appropriate for my eyes and face and therefore it's not obvious I have extensions. (I have seen those kinds of lashes and always think it's ridiculous!) Another amazing part is that they LAST until my next fill. I have been getting extensions since I lived in New york and they either looked fake, put too few on, or they started falling out 3 days after having a service!! I personally couldn't imagine going to anyone else as long as I live in the Bay Area. Cherry on top - Jessica is prompt, considerate, friendly, kind & funny and therefore it makes the time go by so fast, it's a joy! Not something I dread like with other places in the past. It's a super comfortable space with great energy and light and good parking! Whole foods is right across the street, so when I'm done I can go walk through the aisles with bright eyes and a new spring in my step! :) Thank you Jess !!

She is super clean, always on time and won't chat unless YOU want to chat. Her products are top-rate--no burns, ingrown hairs, nada. Quick and easy. I tried lash extensions for the first time last year and her "weekend warrior" set is all I need to make my eyes pop and look really natural. I get compliments all the time and wear no mascara. Don't even think about it--just make the appointment!

Katrin is amazing! I get a lash lift and tint and the lift stays for at least 6 weeks every timeread more

I originally went to Katrin for microvibration and microcurrent therapy, but when she suggested an…read moreeyelash lift, my response was a hard "Absolutely not." I'd had a nightmare experience in the past and told Katrin "never, ever again." But Katrin has this calm, expert way of making you feel safe and educated rather than pressured. I eventually folded, though my "night-before anxiety" was real and I was ready to cancel the appointment. When it was finally time to start, I was shivering so visibly from nerves that Katrin had to gently remind me to take a deep breath so I'd stop vibrating ;) ! An hour later? My short, blond, "invisible" lashes were unrecognizable. Not only can I finally see them, but my eyes look way less hooded and I no longer look like I'm perpetually tired. I am so grateful Katrin talked me off the ledge and convinced me to try again. If you have short, straight, "invisible" lashes and a history of lash-lift trauma, you NEED to see Katrin. She's a miracle worker. 10/10!
