    Wet hair
    Kay J.

    I purchase a Groupon and set an apt a week prior to the scheduled apt. Took the day off work for my hair apt. The lady of Asian descent texted me the day of and cancels- she asks me to R/s the next day. I don't have a choice- finding a last min. Hair apt before a trip is nearly impossible. I take another day off, arrive the next day for the R/S apt- the lady had the door locked. I knocked 10 min before my apt. Nothing. I send her a text. After 15 min she is seen walking around the salon, on the phone. She casually opens the door. I walk in- no greeting, she is still on the phone doing some bill paying. She points for me to sit down. I sit- 10 min later she finally decides to get off her call- it's now 25 min past start time. She takes my pony tail down and immediately begins to berate me about having long hair! I show her the Groupon has no "additional fee" comments. She goes into the back with her phone- comes out and shows me her phone- magically the additional fee is now listed. I ask her if we can start my partial highlights cut/ style. She's mad. She says "lady, what do you want me to do, I'm not going to make any money". I'm thinking- you do know that I intended to tip you"... she starts yelling at me, waving her arms- mad. I let her know that I now took a second day off work, this service is paid for, and I have other things to accomplish today as the next day is my birthday- hence the salon visit. She's still mad. She makes more shocking comments. Walks around the salon , being mad. I ask her again if she can start the services that were prepaid. She goes on and starts flailing her arms saying that Groupon rips her off... I ask her one more time- can we start services. She starts. She cuts my long hair while it's dry and just came out of a bun. It's now uneven. She starts coloring and only does a Mohawk pattern. I ask her why she's doing this pattern and she says because she doesn't have time to do my hair! Then she walks away and says nothing to me while the color is processing. She comes back 15-20 min later- looks at the color and adds more color. Comes back a few minutes later and starts removing the foils. She states "I'm not cutting your hair, and I'm not styling it, you have to find someone else to do that!" I remind her, that's part of the paid for service. She said she didn't care that I need to go find someone else to do my hair. She takes me to the wash bucket, washes my hair, turns the hairdryer on for a moment. Then tells me that I have to leave. I look like a wet dog- and I asked her if she toned the highlights, she refused to answer. She told me that she's giving me my Groupon back and I need to leave- NOW! I go home to blowdry my hair- I have orange bangs and random patches of orange streaks down my scalp!! If you go here and use a Groupon- buyer beware. This lady was bullying, harassing, and borderline threatening. I'm sure she will reply and blame me for her unprofessional behavior and her clear lack of basic colorist skills. She is horrible! Avoid at all costsn

    Omg. I can finally go swimming and get a massage without worrying about my eyebrows smearing off…read more. seriously.. Im still in awe..I just finished getting my brows done.. I found Jenny on Instagram - her work was flawless and as you can see her ratings are top notch! I am terrified of pain. Like really terrified. I literally get nervous right before getting a flu shot even more so when getting a tooth cleaning - you name it. Was it painful? Let's just say that there were uncomfortable moments .. but in all honesty I fell asleep! It hurt more when she was plucking my eyebrows! No joke!! Jenny is a perfectionist and is truly so talented. She took her time and was extremely professional. It only took about 3 hours and an hour of that was dedicated to finding the perfect shape - all her doing.. that's when u know your in good hands when they appear to care more than u .. Thank u Jenny- look forward to seeing you at my touch up. I can't believe I have eyebrows!!!! Omg !

But that was not the case when I got my eyebrows microbladed by Jenny. She used a strong topical anesthetic and it was almost PAINLESS. She was quick and the whole process was less than 2 hrs! End result--My eyebrows look so real! I'm definitely happy with the shape and thickness of my brows. Looking forward to my 4 week touch up!

    For the past decade in San Diego, Joyce has been my one and only trusted lash artist. Her hands…read morework like magic, consistently crafting breathtaking results! Her studio is outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment--most notably the HydraFacial device, which blends advanced technology with luxurious spa-like skincare. The lash application itself was swift and effortless. Time flew by as we chatted, and before I knew it, the transformation was complete. This time, I opted for the 'Manga Lash' style--voluminous, feathery extensions that instantly amplified my gaze with a high-fashion, editorial finish. The effect was so radiant, even my mirror reflection seemed to sparkle!

    I had an amazing experience getting eyelash extensions at this small business for the first time…read morerecently! Previously I have gotten my eyelashes done at a handful of different places, and this was by far the best experience. I decided on getting a full set of hybrid eyelash extensions after taking a break from them for a couple years. It has been about 5 days since then, and I have not lost a single eyelash yet which is really amazing considering before I would lose a few or so in the first week. Based on this experience, I'm considering going back to getting my eyelashes done on a regular basis because I'm so happy with the results. Booking an appointment was really smooth and easy, because Joyce was quickly responsive by text. I was able to get a slot just a couple days after I texted her. Also, the beauty studio itself was easy to find with lots of parking spaces, and it felt very clean inside as well. I'm looking forward to going back for my eyelash fills and maybe try some other procedures too!

If you're getting saline removal done - look up what the recovery will look like. I didn't do this (my fault). And she was super sweet & would follow up on the result of them. And would answer any questions I had. She's very forthcoming and caring on expectation of result. Thank you Celine

    After searching for an artist who I could trust and feel comfortable putting something permanent on…read moremy face, I came across Celine's Beauty Studio through social media. Reading into Celine's background and seeing the variety of clients she caters to, I felt that this place was a good choice. Sending a direct message to have Celine answer my questions and concerns given my face type and products I used, she made me feel comfortable in my decision so I booked the appointment. Good to let her know your skin type, products you use and such so she can guide you on what is the best direction for microblading for your skin before your appointment. I became very nervous the day before and she was able to talk on the phone to voice any concerns I had. I was just nervous and needed to verbally hear comforting words. Haha. The appointment was great. Beautiful office! She took her time to walk through what was going to happen so there weren't surprises and she got an idea of what I was looking forward to for the results. So, yes, all in all, I was very comfortable and you can trust her expertise/experience. I was there for microblading but she recommended shading if I wanted it. I asked what that would do for me since I wanted more natural but trusted her judgement and went for a little shading along with the blade strokes. Glad I did! Worth it. The touch up appointment went the same. I highly recommend Celine's Beauty Studio and anyone working with her.

    Amazing Experience - Highly Recommended!…read more We had such a great experience at this shop! First, my daughter Jona had her very first nose piercing (nostril), and everything went so smoothly. The artist made her feel comfortable and explained everything clearly. The piercing looked beautiful, and the healing process was surprisingly fast. After seeing how well it went for her, I decided to finally get my septum piercing -- something I had always wanted to do. I thought it might be painful, but honestly, when you trust your artist and you really love what you're doing, the whole experience becomes exciting rather than scary. It went great, and my healing process was fast too! A big kudos to the artist who took such good care of us. We left feeling happy, confident, and with no worries about the healing process. As a mom, seeing my daughter have a positive first experience meant a lot to me. Definitely 5 stars for us! Highly recommended for anyone thinking about getting a piercing.

Both Ray and Pierre made me feel comfortable. The place was extremely well kept and sanitary and professional. I took an AI generated image and Pierre recreated it wonderfully well. Special shoutout to Ray for taking time to make me understand the pros and cons of getting a line tattoo and being an absolute gentleman and saying that Pierre was the best person to do it. My tattoo healed well without any problems and keloids . Looks great after 3 weeks
