I'll start by saying: I have very sensitive skin. So for this reason, I don't get facials. The few times I've had them I've warned estheticians that I have sensitive skin. They listen and still, I break out. However, Astrid was recommended so I made an appointment for a classic facial. I shared my concerns with her even before booking. She was patient, answered my questions and listened to my concerns. I absolutely loved the experience! From the comfy lounge, blanket, the lighting and background music to her amazing work on my face. I was so relaxed, and the shoulder massage was an added bonus! Of course I continued to ask questions as she went along and because I shared my concerns, she explained each product used - what it was, why it was used and what to expect. Parking was easily available in the back and her location was easy to find. I slept about 5 hours the night before, got my facial soon after a stressful day at work and I managed to glow and look fresh after my facial! Already looking forward to the next one! read more

I booked Astrid to do my full hmu for an Emmy's. She went above and beyond my expectations delivering on a spectacular look for me. Communication and setting the appointment was easy and Astrid asked for inspo pics ahead of time so when the day came she was prepared and didn't have to ask any questions. I received the most compliments I've ever gotten and felt confident and beautiful thanks to her. I'd 1000% book her again and want to follow up on the other services she provides. Thank you Astrid! read more

Astrid is very sweet, but not what I was looking for on my wedding day. I wanted a vintage hairstyle and she didn't know how to do it. The makeup application was good, but I think I could've done the same myself, except for the eyebrows. Eyebrows were awesome. I left crying because I didn't like my hair at all, and she only had one size hair curler, a small one. I left and I cried and then finally gained the courage to go back and tell her I didn't like it and she tried to fix it, but still not what I wanted. read more

Makeup by Astrid - After I cried because I didn't like my hair - Skin Care Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I've done facial treatments with Astrid in the past but it's been a longgggg time since I've done one and I'm soooo glad her I found her on IG and booked an appointment right away. This is my first time at her current studio and it's very nice, clean, and very peaceful vibe. She's so nice and so good at what she does. I requested for her special Fire+Ice Facial treatment because I knew my face was in very bad condition. She took her time and explained it all and the condition of my face and why it was very dry. I definitely recommend Astrid and will definitely be back again. Hopefully sooner than my usual 2+ years random pop ups ;) read more

My First appointment with Astrid was for a facial. She has a gentle relaxing touch and I felt like my skin for days got nourished, I normally have estheticians trying to extract my blackheads for a long time and it's not relaxing. Astrid had a light touch when extracting and just did what was necessary, which I greatly appreciated! I don't get facials often but after just one facial , I can feel a difference in my skin, it will have to be a regular thing for me. My second appointment with Astrid was microblading my brows. There is a lot of talk about how painful this procedure can be. If you want to get microbladed ASTRID is your GIRL! There was ZERO pain. She knows her sh*t!! Her numbing cream is the bomb!! I wanted someone that has experience, and is an artist. She is an insanely good makeup artist so this is the perfect person to have do my brows!!! She's also not overpriced so it gave me even more of a reason to get my brows done. Lastly, when I first met Astrid I asked if she could recommend a face wash for me, it's winter and my skin feels dry and not cared for, she recommend "IS clinical" - cleansing complex. I was skeptical because I know that brand is very popular but can also be pricey, but the face wash is priced well! I think around 45$ And it's a large bottle. I use it on my skin morning and night, and my skin is looking and feeling great, just from this face wash I bought from her. I owe Astrid a lot of Thank you's for boosting my skin game! read more

Thank you, Astrid, for the gorgeous makeup application that I received from you today. I love how you took the time to make me feel beautiful (I CANNOT do my own eyelids at all!!). I'll come back to you when I need something special done again read more

Astrid is my go to Artist for many of my beauty needs. I always walk out looking and feeling like a million bucks. She is always up to date with the latest makeup trends. She takes her time with you and doesn't rush through your appointment. The spa is clean, smells delightful and is a great relaxing atmosphere. My 17yr old will only get her waxing done here. So that tells you a lot. If you have a teen girl you know what I mean, they are hard to please! In a nut shell she is a must try, you will not walk out disappointed!! read more

I had my first back facial with Astrid and she was absolutely professional and great when it came to giving me step by step details on what she was doing and the benefits of the products. The spa area was set up in a comfortable setting and it was nice to have a one on one session and not worry about waiting in some lobby of a salon and or get the sales pitch after. I loved my treatment and it definitely helped with my back acne as well as getting a wonderful massage out of it. I am going again for a facial and I am sure I will love that as well. I recommended Astrid to my friends and family so that should speaks for itself! read more

I have struggled with acne since I was a teenager. I was always told it would get better as an adult but that never happened. It actually got worse. I have seen the dermatologist several times and have tried every product out there but nothing ever seemed to work until I met Astrid. I began using the products she recommended and got regular facials with her and WOW!!! My acne is now under control and we are now working on getting rid of all those scars. This is a routine I can afford to maintain. If you struggle with acne please go see her! Best decision ever. I do not wear a lot of makeup and I tend to be somewhat reserved on a lot of things so the idea of getting microblading scared me a bit. I trust Astrid so much I decided to go for it. I love my eyebrows!!! It was painless and they look so natural. She explained the whole process and made sure I was completely comfortable with the situation before anything was done. read more

I had my makeup done by Astrid Late August 2014. I found her here on Yelp because I was coming into town for an event. She was very quick to response and flexible to meet me earlier than her normal hours. Her apt had great lighting inside which was nice for me to see what the make up would look like in normal outdoor lighting. She took my input and created a beautiful look. I like the natural looking make up and that's exactly what she was able to do. My face did not feel heavy or "cakey". Her equipment was clean. The makeup lasted over 17 hours (it was a long day) and I was still taking pictures and looked fabulous! I received many compliments on my makeup. Definitely would recommend Astrid, looking forward to booking her next year for another event :) read more

Astrid is amazing! She seriously saved my face. I used to be so scared to leave the house without heavy layers of make up caked on to hide my acne. I see her once a month and its such an amazing difference from where my face was last year. I suggest her to everyone cause Im so happy with her work! Plus you cant beat her price for everything you get. read more
