I chose Pace for my wedding hair and makeup because of her natural aesthetic and reasonable pricing…read morecompared to other San Francisco artists. I highly recommend booking her for the entire day (10 hour package) if it's within your budget! I wanted this because SF is so windy and temperature can be so unpredictable. She and her assistant, Anna, styled me and three members of my bridal party in just 3 to 3.5 hours for hair and makeup for all. They arrived right on time, were flexible setting up at our unique Airbnb, and made everyone look phenomenal. During our trial, Pace patiently worked through two different updo styles as well as my makeup. I felt that something was not 100% with my final trial look by the end of the 3 hours, though. After the trial, I did more research and sent Pace my personal color analysis, and she adapted to it seamlessly. I was nervous changing things up without another trial, but I didn't want to do another trial. My wedding day look turned out quite different from the trial, but I loved it SO much. It was perfect. I am so grateful for Pace's flexibility with me and artistry--though looking back, I should have done more research before the trial! Because I booked her for full-day coverage, we also planned a hairstyle change. Even though we hadn't practiced that hair style (our 3 hour trial time wasn't able to fit it), she transitioned my hair from a full updo to a stunning half-up, half-down style in just 20 minutes on the day of the wedding. Pace stayed by my side the entire day (from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM), ensuring my hair was always perfect for photos. She fluffed and straightened my dress right before I walked down the aisle, touched up my makeup, and even gave my husband a quick touch-up before the ceremony. She traveled with us everywhere, including driving out to our airbnb, first-look location, and venue. If you are wondering about longevity of the look: our after-party went until 4:00 AM, and my makeup and lashes did not budge. While my curls naturally softened from hours of dancing and jumping, my face remained completely flawless! Thank you so much, Pace!

Pace and her associate, Anna, were extremely great to work with. Pace was communicative, efficient,…read moreand stuck to the day-of schedule with time to spare. Everyone's looks turned out beautiful, and she could even make very thick hair stay up for 10+ hours. Definitely would recommend!

I've been going to Nancy since summer of 2021. When I first went to her, I have to say, I've been…read morehaving a difficult time with my hair. After about 6 months after my first haircut with her, and the tips she's provided, my hair is low key thriving! Let's start off with location... She's located downtown Hayward off B Street. Although, parking kinda sucks, and it is the Main Street with so many cars, her place is so cute! Inside her place, there plenty of seating, and a lot of chairs available. For the most part, whenever I go see her, I'm probably the only other client inside - just incase you guys get nervous for Covid reasons. Nancy is so welcoming. She starts off asking you what you want to do with your hair, and she observes and starts framing your face to see if you would like it and gives out suggestions as needed. Then she washes your hair, and then she begins the cut. She's so knowledgable in the industry. She given me helpful advice on how to maintain my hair. For reference, I've always had to wash my hair daily because it's always getting so oily. So she's given me tips on how to prevent it. And after 6 months of following tips, and seeing what works for me, my hair is fuller, healthier, and thriving as I've mentioned. She also sells products in house just in case you want to obtain professional items. I highly recommend her. You won't regret it.

Decided to go lighter for summer and got "the works" which was a full balayage lightener and toner along with a cut.

Naz is a true professional, working quickly and telling me exactly what she was doing. After I booked, Naz reached out to introduce herself and ask if I had an inspo pics. She reassured me and set expectations right of the bat. She's an absolute delight and can't wait to go back!

She takes the time to consider your skin tone and natural hair color to achieve the best, most flattering results. She even convinced me to step out of my comfort zone and try fashion colors--the outcome was beyond incredible! Her haircuts are always tailored to complement the shape of your face, and her knowledge is unmatched. As an educator, Sabrina is constantly on top of the latest product technology. It took some time, but she convinced me to stop using drugstore brands and switch to products that are not only better for my hair but also last longer. Beyond her skills, Sabrina has become an amazing friend over the years. Her vibe is super fun and down to earth. Anyone in the area would be lucky to have her as their stylist. Highly recommend Beauty by Sabrina Marie!

I was searching for A-lines online, and this one photo kept on popping up. An A-line that had the perfect high low, great shape, styled beautifully, nice highlights (or balayage, I don't know what I'm talking about). I just had to find the person that created this piece of art I kept gravitating to. Come to find out, it was Cristina and she's local. Once I found her I thought "YES, I will make an appointment for THIS WEEK... She was booked 2 months out. WHAT DO I DO NOW?? I waited... On the day of my appointment I was nervous. But once you start talking to Cristina, it's like talking to one of your homies. She's so easy to talk to. I told her what I wanted. And seeing how the cut was going to be a pretty dramatic change she took me through it step by step before making the cut. She never once asked me, "Are you sure you want to do this?" Although I am sure she thought it. We had some great conversation. And I left with a haircut I absolutely LOVE!! She was/is the perfect person for the job. I have had so many compliments on my hair. I love the way it feels, especially after leaving her chair. She uses some good stuff! I also leave her salon feeling really happy. I truly enjoy my time with her. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Cristina. She does wonderful work (check out her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tinarizala_/), and is always keeping herself on the top of her game. Everyone needs a Cristina in their life.

I've tried high end spots in the Bay Area to small, local ones. I have never labeled any of them 'my favorite' until now. I've had about 5 sessions with Neng so far. The most recent facials I've had with her was the dermabrasion facial with a jelly mask. This is super relaxing and my face is smooth and tight when she is done with me. We have been trying out different things due to my skin being so sensitive. Let me say, she is PATIENT and super chill. I usually ask hella questions, but she explains everything she is about to do and also explains why. I also can't just use any product on my face or else I will break out into hives. She did not push one product on me. I've had places basically force me to buy things I really didn't need. So that was a plus! I'm going back to get my lashes done for my daughter's wedding in a few months. She did a few of my friend's lashes and they were all on point! Neng is basically a one stop shop. Highly recommend!
