Update: I've been going to Michaela for lashes for over a year now, and I'm more pleased than ever…read morewith her work! Not only is she incredibly affordable, especially compared to the high pricing of services elsewhere, but she also offers the same, if not better, caliber work than many of the esthis who charge twice as much. She thinks of the client's comfort first, and is practical and honest when offering advice, even if it means telling the client to give their lashes a break to promote growth! Instead of upselling, she listens and takes into consideration the needs of the client. I took a 3 month break from lashes this summer, after 9 months of near-continuous fills. Michaela noticed the change since I started seeing her, and had great suggestions for caring for my fragile lashes. Through her advice, I even was able to start growing back brows that had been lacking since a bad wax in college. My first set since the hiatus is beautiful. She mentioned that she changed lash brands since I last saw her. These lashes are super soft and light, and look so natural. and it's been 2 weeks since application, and they are still holding strong.

I was skeptical about writing a review for Michaela because I didn't want to ruin her perfect 5…read morestar rating. I felt like I needed to because of that 5 star rating, I went to her very hopeful. My lash tech had gone in to labor early so I was freaking out since our scheduled fill appointment was a few days later. I yelped eyelash extensions in the area and came across Michaela's business with a 5 star rating from several people. Michaela was so nice and super professional. Her room in the salon is so relaxing and beautifully decorated. I was so relaxed, I even fell asleep a few times during my lash application. Michaela seemed very knowledgeable and shared a lot of tips... I was so hopeful that I found a replacement tech while my normal lash tech was on maternity leave. I even scheduled an appointment. Mind you, my lashes coming to get filled were on for 4 weeks already and just starting to look like I needed a fill. They looked great after she finished but she mentioned one side had less lashes than the other so she didn't fill the other side as much to even out the eyes... once I got home I looked an the ends were bare. Those are the ones that usually fall out first so I was kind of thrown off a bit. The next few days were upsetting... they fell out left an right! I woke up to lashes on my pillow, I'd be talking to someone and one would gal on my cheek (embarrassing) a week later they looked like I needed a fill ALREADY! They looked worse than they did when I first went in for a fill. Thank goodness my regular lash tech called me and said I could come by to get them done that Friday. Needless to say, those stayed on great. It was weird that the ones Michaela put on fell out so quickly, but the ones my regular tech put on again, lasted over 3 weeks. Michaela texted me a week later and said she lost all her appointments, please remind her of the scheduled appointments we had. I mentioned they all fell out and that I wanted to cancel my appointment... she never responded. If you're looking for a beautiful environment, quick responses, and a nice, professional lash tech, but for your lashes to only last a week, Michaela is your girl... You can't have it all... Michaela's service would've been a 5 star but the review is mainly for the outcome of the "product and application." 3 stars it is. Thank you again Michaela.

Marie is simply an amazing lash artist. I come here almost every month to get my lash services…read morewith Marie and her technique is just flawless. I've been disappointed with a previous lash artist (at another salon) who made my lashes feel heavy and the glue constantly irritated my eyes. Considering it was my very first lash appointment, I thought the irritation and continual tearing was normal. After a few months, I mustered up the courage to try getting lashes at Aura Define and was happy I did. As a first time customer, I was required to fill out a questionnaire on allergies and facial products I use. This is when I realized Aura is truly a professional and quality salon. I requested the Classic Full Set with Marie, the owner. With Marie, I was completely relaxed and could barely feel anything on my eyelids while she was applying my lashes. Plus, she's always so thoughtful and would check in with me to see how i'm feeling through the process. As a result, I feel so glamorous and confident with my new lash look. They're just perfect! In addition, the salon is clean and top notch. I enjoy the soothing tunes she plays in the background. Overall, I would definitely recommend Marie's services for lash extensions!

I was so delighted to find that Sugar + Lemon in Napa provided the sugaring services for men that I so sorely needed. I booked right away. I was a bit apprehensive. Due to things beyond my control, I had been unable to schedule a sugaring appointment with my regular esthetician for several months. I was a mess. When I arrived for my appointment at Sugar + Lemon, Michelle put me immediately at ease. My session went perfectly.
