    Michelle is hands down one of the most talented, kindest and best makeup and hair artists I have EVER worked with! She's so skilled (done most of my favorite looks), always makes me feel SO taken care of! I've referred her to DOZENS of friends and clients + they have all felt SO cared for + loved her talent!

    I'm not really a makeup person and when I mentioned to my business coach that I didn't really feel comfortable showing my face on social media or even in person networking events because I never felt "put together" enough....I learned my coach felt the same until she took Michelle's makeup lessons. For years, I've genuinely wanted to learn how to use makeup SPECIFIC to me and my facial features and to still look like myself to just feel a little better when I walked out the door...so I decided to give it a try. I admit that I was a little skeptical because I wasn't local and opted to do the makeup lessons virtually. But I was soo impressed how Michelle caught things during our Zoom meetings that even I couldn't see with the mirror right next to me! She definitely proved to me that I wasn't missing out on anything by participating virtually. She even goes as far to personalize things like "because your eyes are x shape, you want the eyeshadow to go to x area" same applied to matte vs shimmer blush and all the other details. YouTube videos can explain this in general but having someone tell you personally for YOU what they see and recommend meant light years of a difference. She also made it super easy for me by recommending where to sit for our meetings for the best camera lighting and for doing make up in general so in reality if was an extra plus because now I do my make up in these naturally lit areas. She and I worked on a few different looks (quick 10 minute makeup look, eye details, and a going out/special occasion look) my fave is the 10 minute look because I'm always rushing in the morning but with her recordings and detailed summary sheets I feel confident I can replicate other looks when I want to for special occasions! Lastly, I honestly didn't realize how much skincare was a part of using makeup. I get it now - Michelle goes deep by doing an audit of what products you use so that you're set up for success when you add makeup. (She even gave me recommendations on what to buy with different level pricing bc she knew I'm on a budget right now!) So I'm really thankful I found Michelle. My skin feels better even when I don't have makeup on because of this AND I feel confident when running business meetings with the makeup lessons. Thank you so much Michelle!

    Me being thrown into the deep end, but surviving with the confidence Michelle gave me!

I don't think I could have trusted anyone else to ensure that I was looking my best. A couple of months before the wedding, during a trial, we talked about color, natural looks, and what I'd feel comfortable with. She cleaned up my brows and made suggestions for what would look best for my big day, including what kind of lashes would work best for me. Her consultation was really professional and made me feel comfortable. With her guidance, I ordered what she recommended and, of course, for my actual wedding day, I left everything at home instead of bringing them to the hotel!! Omg... thankfully, Linh had extras of everything I'd need. She made it work, including back up lashes, and told me not to panic. The customer service, preparedness, kindness, and care really helped to make my day go smoothly. I can't believe I blanked out on such important stuff, but she had me covered. She even helped one of my bridesmaids when that wasn't part of the original plan. I had a truly great day, and it helped to have Linh start my morning off right. Her comforting smile and calm demeanor was such a welcome. Thanks Linh!!

I've tried and gone to endless brow places (in the East Bay, SF and along the Peninsula) over the last ten years - tried everything from just tweezing, waxing and threading - some have been great, some have been not so great. But none have understood me and my brows like Lyn does. She has a knack and eye for natural beauty and seriously brings out the best in your features. My most recent brow experience before going to Lyn left my brows in a disastrous state. Too thin and uneven. As someone with thick and dark brows, it was truly an insecure and vulnerable place to be in. So, again, I was in search of my next brow person. I've always admired Lyn's work on Instagram, so was so excited to see that she was offering appointments again. I signed up for a 'Full Brow Transformation'. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, but I could not be happier with Lyn, the entire experience or how my brows turned out. The second picture is with my brows filled in, but even without them filled in, they look fantastic. I intend on seeing Lyn every couple weeks to maintain and update the shapes of brows - not just through my wedding in September - but for....like...

I recently moved from SF to Mountain View and the service I received was frankly even better than many of the other high end salons I've visited. I received a full set of highlights from Brianna and she did an amazing job! It looked super natural and I exactly like the pictures I brought in. I'm not sure how she managed to work her magic and make my hair ashy brown like I've always wanted, but I am super impressed! I would definitely recommend her and the salon. I'll be going back for a haircut soon. The front desk team was super friendly and nice. They made me a dirty soda too, which was super yummy! The atmosphere was busy for a Friday morning and the music was fun. So excited to have found a great place in the South Bay! Easy to park and turn it into a full day with brunch or lunch in downtown Campbell.
