    Paul is beyond talented with his work and such a sweet person! His intimate studio is so cute where he also provides drinks and snacks which enhances your experience. #1 nail and lash tech in the Bay Area ...Period!

    I have been coming to Paul for years! There is nobody better in the Bay to see for nails! He is creative and a master of the craft. If you can dream it, he can make it happen and probably even better! Not only do his nails LOOK great but they have STAYING power!!

    Paul is my dude! Not only does he provide stellar service and has so much creative flair, but I always look forward to the silly banter at our appointments. He's a delight to work with and is by far the best nail tech I've gone to in the East Bay. I had previous issues with nail breakage, extremely painful, but since I've gone to Paul my nails are bulletproof. No cheap product here! Often I come in with an idea in mind and Paul takes it to the next level. He makes sure you leave happy. You will not be disappointed with his work!

    Paul is Amazing, very creative and talented. I was lucky enough to find him when I move to east bay and I got to say in the 5 years I've been coming to him I've never had any same design. My nails are always on point and always get compliments on them.

    Paul is the premier nail ARTIST in the area! Paul never shies away from any of the latest trends in nail design. Paul's work speaks for itself, so you will need an appointment! If you're into trendy nails and not sure where to go, get PolishedbyPaul!!

    Thank you so much Paul! I love my nails so much. You took my ideas and delivered beautiful nails! You are now my permanent nail guy! If u are looking to get amazing nails done, make sure to ask for Paul!

    Fresh gel x full set, never disappointed.

    If you're a first-timer like me, make an appointment with Jenneath! She is so talented and makes…read moreyou feel super comfortable during the entire process. I was recommended by my boss to come see Jenneath since she has been getting her lashes done by her for a while, and they look great! I'm going to Disneyland for the weekend and didn't want to wear too much makeup, so I decided to give eyelash extensions a try, and they look AMAZING! I am so happy with the results! They give me the perfect amount of POP to my eyes without having to wear any eye makeup. My natural lashes are super sparse and grow straight down, so I always have to curl them and apply mascara, or for any special occasions I'll wear falsies. Now I can save myself all that time and effort and just wake up with bomb lashes! Thank you, Jenneath, for the beautiful lashes and the great service :)

For 2 of those years, I was going salon to salon and couldn't find the perfect person UNTIL I CAME TO JEANETTE! I've been seeing her for almost a year now (I come regularly every 3 weeks) and she is TRULY THE BEST! She uses the best quality products and is just amazing. I have stubborn straight Asian lashes, but that's not an issue for Jeannette. She does "volume lashes" for me shchi means she puts three extensions PER LASH. I get compliments almost daily on my lashes. For my wedding, Jeannette made them a little longer and it was perfect! She is a superstar. After I moved from CV, I thought about looking elsewhere but I know nobody can do it as great as Jeanette so I will commute the hour to see her!

    Why did I wait so long?! I love my eyebrows now!!! Mine were so wimpy and misshaped. I had…read morewanted to get my eyebrows done but put it off for various reasons. I'm so glad I found sweet Jenny at Brow+K-Beauty Lab. She was very detail oriented and listened. She was patient and kind. Her place had the ambiance of a spa. I love how she sent reminder texts and emails since life always seems to get so busy. She made my eyebrows look so natural and even. If you want to get lots of compliments, save tons of time in the morning, and get a great deal with a professional, this is definitely the place to try. Be sure to check out her deals on facials, too!! This place is a hidden gem!!

    Booked a Tuesday appointment for a back facial, because I've been searching everywhere for one in…read morethe East Bay and I was so excited when I found her website listing one for $120 for 60 minutes! Booked through the website, Paid my deposit and everything and was super excited for the experience. The description is: "Treat your back to a luxurious Back Facial that improves elasticity, hydration, and texture while stimulating collagen production for firmer, more youthful skin. With deep cleansing, exfoliation, and nourishing masks, this rejuvenating treatment revitalizes dry or uneven skin on your back, leaving it smoother and brighter." Got the confirmation text and email and confirmed everything. When I got there, Jenny very kindly informed me that she actually no longer does the back facials, she only does face facials now. I was definitely disappointed, but I had already driven there and had the day off, so I opted for the 10 step Korean facial instead ($199 before tip). She said that she was currently doing an offer for $199 instead of $300+, so I figured why not. This one is 90 minutes instead of 60 minutes. If it's your first time coming, I would recommend getting there 5 mins ish before your appointment so you can park and find the entrance to her room - there's a lot of other businesses here so I did have to take a lap to find the right door in the hallway. Pros: The whole facial experience was actually pretty great - the whole place is clean, easy parking out front. And it's very involved, in a good way. it includes massage to the face, shoulder, neck, arms, as well as all the regular facial stuff like extractions and a mask. She also uses the Plasonic machine (which can feel hot like it's burn/zapping your skin) but you can tell her if it feels too hot and she'll change the settings. She got rid of my blackheads with an ultrasonic skin scrubber and extracted all my whiteheads. There's also red light therapy. The studio is super clean, and Jenny is super sweet and nice, definitely easy to trust the Korean lady. I definitely would not mind coming back for another facial - I left there with my skin feeling super soft, she gave me some skincare tips, and it's a great location if you live in Castro Valley or San Leandro. I would definitely recommend wearing comfortable and thinner pants, because it gets pretty hot in the room with all the treatments. My highest praise would include that the extraction part wasn't as painful as other facials I've had, and the shoulder/neck/arm massage was surprisingly really helpful in relieving some pain I had from work! Cons: - I think it was really hard for me to give a 5, since I feel like I fell for false advertising thinking I was coming for a back facial. Things worked out in the end and I was due for a facial anyway - but I would have done some things differently (like not washed my hair beforehand, since it got a lot oilier after the scalp massage) if I had known I wasn't getting the back facial. Her service is great and I would highly recommend her for facials - and it sounds like her microblading is well appreciated too - but just be aware there are NO back facials here.

    I'm following up regarding your response claiming that I provided incorrect contact information…read more This is not accurate. I have double-checked and confirmed that I entered the correct email address and phone number, which is evident in the confirmation emails I received and have attached for your reference. At the time of the appointment, I was 8 months pregnant and accompanied by my husband. We were at your location, visible on your front cameras, and tried calling multiple times using the phone number listed on Google, Yelp, and in the confirmation email. No one answered, and the business appeared to be closed (we sat there for a while looking for another lash spot). If the appointment had been canceled in advance, I would have seen the notification. Instead, I received a confirmation email just the day before the appointment, which clearly indicated that it was still scheduled. Your response blaming me for incorrect information is disappointing and reflects poorly on your customer service.

So here I am back at Jaslynn Rose. I like the convenience of the location close to home, their booking system is very easy to follow or just directly call into the business, the ladies are very nice. The only complaint would be the parking, it gets packed and most parking spaces are reserved for the surrounding laundromat or the insurance company. Some technicians are more popular and booked rather quickly, others are a little slower but they are just as professional, caring and attentive to their customers. If you aren't happy with the results and a bit picky, they will make the efforts to make sure you leave satisfied. Support your local businesses!
