As a true child of the '90s, I absolutely fell victim to the era of aggressive overplucking... and…read moremy eyebrows never really recovered. After years of battling uneven drawn on brows, spending way too much on makeup, and wasting precious time every morning trying to get them to match (and not look wild), I knew I needed something more permanent. I started looking into microblading, but like many people, I had mixed feelings. Would it look natural? Was it worth the price? Would I regret it? So I did what any curious Millennial does, I went down the Instagram rabbit hole. That's when I found Sidney Le and started following her team and their different artists. I watched for months, studied the styles, and finally decided to pull the trigger. From the moment I reached out, the team was helpful, clear, and direct, which I immensely appreciate. I won't lie, the price did give me a little sticker shock at first. But then I remembered: this is a tattoo... on your face. And when you factor in: 1. The quality and expertise of the artists 2. The high-end products they use and how long it lasts 3. The time, money, and daily frustration it saves you PLUS the fact that it won't smudge or wash off in water... It was a no-brainer. My first appointment went great. The artist really took time to assess my face and skin type, and we decided on the Ombre Brow technique. I've never looked back! Now I go in every 2 to 2.5 years for a refresh and see Sara, who I absolutely adore. She's patient, detailed, and always makes sure I'm happy with the shape and color before we start. Now, let's talk pain. Yes, it's a tattoo on your face, so no, it's not completely painless. The outline and initial scratching definitely sting. But after that, numbing cream is applied and it's honestly not bad. It is more pressure than pain. I've even fallen asleep during the process because Sara's setup is so calming: soft music, cozy blanket, and one of the comfiest tables I've ever laid on. If you're on the fence, let this be your sign to go for it. Microblading (or ombre brows, in my case) has saved me so much time and given me such a boost in confidence. Just remember: there is a healing process. Your brows will look dark, they'll itch, and they'll peel..... but trust the process!! Once they heal, you'll be obsessed. Honestly? Best beauty decision I've ever made. Worth every single penny.

I'm leaving this review as a husband who is very particular about where our money goes -- I always…read morewant to see a real return on any investment. And let me tell you, the work Sidney did on my wife's eyebrows was worth every penny. From the moment we walked in, it was nothing but professional, welcoming, and detail-focused. Sidney took her time, explained everything clearly, and made sure my wife felt confident and comfortable throughout the process. The results? Flawless. Natural, clean, and perfectly shaped -- exactly what my wife wanted. She left glowing and couldn't stop smiling. And as the saying goes... Happy wife = happy life. So yes, I'm very happy too. If you're even considering permanent brows, don't hesitate. Sidney Le Beauty delivers quality work and a top-tier experience. Highly recommend!

I cannot explain to you how wonderful Angelina did my make up and hair for my special day! I had…read morenever got my make up and hair done professionally before. I was looking for an asian make up artist who can do asian style make up as American make up artists really cake on your make up. I did not want that and was worried I would not find someone like that. My friend forwarded Angelina's yelp page to me and as I looked at the photos uploaded, I was pleasantly surprised. I quickly reached out to her and her response to me was within a reasonable time. Months prior to my wedding, whenever I had questions and asked her, she was able to answer me. Comes a day before the wedding and she gave me a quick reminder of my appointment. Very kind of her. Gave her the address to my hotel and my room number, and the next morning, she arrived on time. I was still getting ready with my mom and she was able to wait a bit for us to get settled in and set up her stuff. It was my first time seeing her and her first time working with my hair and face. Due to budget restrictions, I was not able to do a trial run with her. She asked me what make up and hair style I liked and she was able to execute what I wanted within 2 hrs of time. She also did my mom's make up and finished everything on time. She was super duper kind to both me and my mom. Made good conversation with us while doing our make up and my hair. When I was done, she showed me how I looked and I was so shocked to how beautiful I looked. My parents, brother, and guests all said I looked very natural and beautiful. My husband who saw me during the first look could not look away and also said I looked beautiful. He was so satisfied with it! Angelina is reasonably priced, quick, and does an amazing job. Overall, a good experience and would recommend to everyone needing make up and hair done. Would book her again for a special event. Thank you Angelina for making me look beautiful on my special day that I will never forget!

Zaryah always listens and goes above and beyond. The studio is gorgeous, very clean and light music. So relaxing!!

Value is good too as they really go above and beyond - not your basic facial - top notch!!

I normally don't write reviews, but my wife's experience with MM Beauty and Morgan was so…read moredisappointing that I feel I need to warn others. From the very beginning, the process was a mess -- multiple cancelations, last-minute substitutions, and poor communication. This forced us to spend extra time and money traveling, scrambling, and stressing over what was otherwise one of the happiest days of our lives. My wife's wedding day was marred by the lack of reliability and professionalism from Morgan and her team. When my wife raised these concerns directly, Morgan actually acknowledged the countless mistakes and admitted the process had been mishandled. But instead of taking accountability in any meaningful way, she flat-out refused to offer any monetary compensation. The only "solution" she proposed was store credit or a complimentary service -- which is insulting. After going through all of this, why on earth would we ever go back? I think the worst part was her attitude when we called to complain, she admitted fault, she knew we would expect compensation (but didn't offer it), but she didn't seem to be sorry...just upset and defensive and what's not what you want when dealing with your wedding. This experience caused us unnecessary stress and financial loss. If you're looking for a beauty team you can rely on for your wedding or any major event, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere. --Josh (husband of the bride)

Daniela is the absolute best!!…read more She has been doing my makeup for 5+ years now - From my wedding day, to maternity, newborn/family pictures... she has done it all! She always seems to know exactly what I am hoping for in the end result, and I have loved every single look she has given me.

It's so bittersweet that she's moved to Sacramento. I have family there, so it's not goodbye, I will definitely be scheduling her when I'm in town for photoshoots.

She colored my hair, installed new ktip extensions and oh my gosh... a transformation! I am obsessed with the results. Not only is she uber talented, but, such a sweetheart too! I look forward to years as her client.

I went to Victoria 2 weeks after I got a horrible 600 dollar dye job from a top salon in midtown…read moreSacramento. It was honestly hideous and a whole other yelp review. I had patchy neon red/pink/orange hair. The fade was hideous and I basically had neon puke colored hair. I looked like a faded Ronald McDonald. I reached out to Victoria for a color correction and she got me in 2 days later. It was a miracle, she's normally booked up because she's that good. However, I told her I needed this fixed before a special event in a couple days so she squeezed me in and stayed late into the night fixing my hair. My before and after pictures are below (the darker prettier one being after - obviously). The results speak for themselves. I can't believe what she was able to do for me. She didn't just salvage it, I left a fricking goddess. She also threw in an eyebrow tint for free! I also asked for a cut last minute and she happily did that. I paid less than half what I did at the other salon for cut and color. What also struck me was the amount of knowledge and experience she has. I had a lot of questions about my oily scalp and why my hair doesn't hold a curl and she took the time to educate me and recommended products. She didn't push me to buy anything, we simply just picked things together from Amazon (though she does have products in store at reasonable prices). The atmosphere was amazing. Sarah her assistant is a fabulous barber in her own right. She does an amazing shampoo and head scratch. It was like talking and laughing with two fun girlfriends I've know for a decade. I felt so comfortable. It's safe to say I finally found my stylist. THANK YOU Sarah and Victoria!! I'll be back!

TLDR: Christi was easy to communicate with and did a wonderful job. She specializes in creating a…read morebeautifully elevated, natural look and stays with you through the ceremony for touch ups. Full review: As a bride who doesn't typically wear makeup or do anything with her hair, the idea of finding someone to do hair and makeup and then having it be hundreds of dollars was difficult for me. I've heard (and seen) how some wedding makeup could easily go wrong, so I knew I was looking for two things: I wanted someone who was familiar with a variety of skin tones and who specializes in more of a natural look. Affordability was also a must as I knew I wanted to pay for at least makeup for all my bridal party. At first glance, the pricing seemed a little high, which I understood since she comes with a lot of experience. I spent a lot of time reviewing and deliberating if I could afford/wanted to spend that much on hair and makeup. Christi and I then discussed what I really wanted done, who else needed hair/makeup done, and how I could work within her packages + add ons price structure to have the services I wanted while staying within my budget. Christi was very easy to talk to and we were able to work it out. She even offered to do complimentary touch ups on my mom (who insisted on doing her own makeup) to help elevate her look, to which my mom accepted. The Trial is a must. I'm sure everyone tells you this, but do the trial. The trial went well, but it was definitely needed. It gave me an opportunity to talk to Christi about what I wanted and what I liked/disliked. It also gave her an opportunity to see what did and didn't work with my hair. Not going to lie, the trial makeup was beautiful but not perfect. You could see a little bit of darkness under my eyes (mostly from wiped away makeup) and she used a lip color I had brought but didn't love. I talked to Christi about this and she reassured me that neither would be an issue on wedding day. Just in case, I made sure to bring a couple different lip options for the wedding, but she had her own and it looked great. She also gave me a little lip present to keep and use throughout the day. I was also worried about my hair holding since it typically doesn't, but both the makeup and hair lasted all night! One more thing to add that was a really great about Christi, she stayed until after the ceremony. A lot of hair and makeup artists leave right after you're done getting ready in the morning. She didn't. She met us at the hotel and did the bulk of it there, and then she traveled to our venue to do finishing touches after we were all in our dresses. THEN she did additional touch ups after our ceremony and helped me replace my veil with a bow. Overall, that helped so much with the nerves and everything. Oh, and everything was right on schedule! Thank you so much, Christi!

I…read morewanted a natural look - and I felt absolutely beautiful and totally elevated, but without looking like I was wearing a ton of makeup. I also couldn't find a single updo that I liked - and then Christi flipped my hair into a high bun during our trial and I LOVED it! Totally redefined my wedding look! She did my best friend's makeup, who doesn't normally wear makeup, and made her look timeless, classic, stunning and exactly herself just elevated. She knows her stuff!!!! Trust her!!!! And she gave me fantastic product recommendations, was totally available by text before the wedding to communicate and ask questions. During the wedding day she was by my side fixing my hair and makeup but almost invisibly. Even cleaning the bottom of my dress!!! She stayed until the very end. A total partner. She brought on a second person - Lisa - who was FANTASTIC too. They both were SO good at what they do, and so personable too. Cannot more highly recommend hiring Christi!!!
