My husband gifted me this session as a Mother's Day gift and the 1 hr 30 minutes was just perfect!…read more Her salon was located inside Salon Republic and it was so plush and provided a spa-like ambience. After showing her a short video of how I want my lashes to look like, she proceeded with a checklist of all the options I can choose from with explanations with what would fit me better and what would look the most natural (NO CATERPILLAR LASHES!!) the list includes the length I want, how curly each of the strands are, etc. After lounging on the chair, she turned her light piano music and off I went on a sweet slumber. She tells me step by step what she's doing i.e. cleaning the lashes, if I am comfortable with the tapes etc. I can already tell that she's quite a professional and very meticulous, and her touch is very light!- this is saying something for someone who's has had multiple eyelash extensions from 3 different continents. She adhered 80 eensy weensy lashes to each of mine and voila! What I also liked about her was she's told me how many more minutes til she's done Overall, a good value for my money and amazing outcome! PS: she offers coffee/tea/ water if you are wanting and her after care kit is like no other.

She always checks to make sure you are comfortable, and she does very quick and efficient work. She is very gentle when doing eyelash extensions, and it doesn't make my eyes red and painful like other places. My eyebrows and eyelashes look so perfect everyday now, and her prices are very reasonable for the excellent work she does!! I'm happy to have finally found my go to place, and it's very simple to make an appointment with her. Thank you so much, Thi :)

I went to Ann for Ombre Brows. Ann is amazing- she's very thorough and experienced. She tends to…read moresee clients with sparse brows (little to no hair, patchy spots, etc). Ann talked me through the color matching, what fading would look like, and asked me how I typically do my makeup so my brows wouldn't overwhelm the rest of my face. I felt really confident moving forward with her. The process itself was fine- it barely hurt and Ann made sure I had a chance to see the work, point out any patches, and feel satisfied throughout. I love my brows (still within the first few days, but the shape is perfect) and I was very satisfied with the service! Thanks Ann :)

I don't usually get lash lifts but I've gotten them twice from (I'm forgetting her name ahh!! But…read moreshe's the owner of Allure Faces) for special occasions, and each time my lashes stayed lifted for months?!! I was surprised watching the weeks go by and my lashes were still lifted. My last appointment was early January, and I decided to refresh them this month mid March. That's 2.5 months!! I don't have a special occasion coming up soon, but I'm deciding to get them done again because once every 2.5 months is a no brainer to make myself feel pretty, clean and put together without ripping my lashes out with my eye lash curler every morning -- which really only lasts for the first few hours of the day. The appointment itself is super chill, time efficient, and the owner is super down to earth and authentic. Highly recommend and grateful I have a spot!

TLDR: Palita is one of the best lash techs in the Bay Area and is a pro with Asian lashes…read more HONEST long review: I started off as Palita's Asian lashes Guinea pig about 3 years ago. She has since improved her skills dramatically and caters to typical Asian lashes (downward pointing) with unique extensions and custom fans. I always get compliments! The lashes make my morning routine so freaking easy because I just get up, cleanse, sunscreen, and go! The lashes always enhance my natural beauty effortlessly. Expensive and time consuming makeup is in the past. Palita personally creates your desired look using her eye for fashion and deep understanding of the chemistry and techniques behind lash extensions. She will be honest with you and provide amazing service. Such as every girl is unique, so your lashes. Palita analyzes your lashes to determine the best application and look in order to achieve effortless enhanced beauty without causing damage to your natural lashes. She explains every step of her process and will fix issues in between your next appointment (rare to get issues!). La Mai Beauty has changed the way I see lash extensions. I was always worried about lash damage and retention with all the things I do, especially working in construction. With all the things I shouldn't do right after getting my lashes filled (swimming, ocean, sauna, steam room, crying, work, exercising, etc), I have encountered amazing retention! I would be devastated if I had to find a new lash tech honestly.

5 years+ experience with Palita I can't go with anyone else ! She really knows my style, Lamai has…read moreall equipment with very good quality and super clean place I highly recommend :)

I had a great experience getting a lash lift at LashBar! Booking was easy, and the staff was very…read morehelpful, especially since I booked last minute with Lina. The studio is bright, clean, and welcoming, and I felt comfortable as soon as I arrived. Lina took the time to explain the different lash lift options, which I didn't even know existed, and helped me choose the look I wanted. The whole appointment was so relaxing that I basically took a nap! My lash lift turned out amazing. I love how natural it looks while still giving my lashes a noticeable lift. I would definitely book again!

I visited them for the first time recently…read more When I first came in, they gave me an iPad to sign a waiver, which clearly requires their staff to walk you through the procedure you're about to get, how it works, and what the risks are. However, they simply left me with the iPad and walked away. Another issue I had with the waiver is that they don't let you submit it, which would've locked everything in and prevented further editing. Further, I emphasized I didn't have experience with the service and wanted a consultation. However, the person servicing me did not offer to show me examples on one of the two services I scheduled for. She showed me the lash examples and said we'd wait to discuss the brows later. My assumption was that we'd take a break after the lashes are done and then presume to design the brows together. However, that was not the case exactly. While my eyes were forced shut for the lashes, she started to work on my brows. I wasn't given sufficient time to discuss what I wanted with my brows and was rushed into a design without any examples shown to me. She cut my brows for a clean look without consent, and I wish we'd had kept a more natural look. Lastly, a couple of minor things. They took my after photo without asking for consent explicitly. They also failed to offer me the welcome drink that they requested me to sign up for when scheduling the appointment. It's not a big deal, but when they offer it to the next walk-in customer after you, it didn't make me feel cared for. I spent almost $300 total. Not a satisfying first-time experience. Not sure if I'd come back.

Yuki is awesome!! I went to her a few weeks ago for the first time and had a few specific requests:…read moreI wanted something natural, with a looser curl, and slightly extended at the outer corners. Because I only booked for the classic lash style, I wasn't able to get the exact style of lash I was looking for but Yuki did her best to help me get a similar look within the time I booked. She is super sweet and gentle while applying the lashes and very detail-oriented. At 2 weeks, my lashes are still looking good even though I haven't been very careful with maintaining them. They're so convenient and really worth the money if you want to be low-maintenance! I'm looking forward to getting my next set with her and trying something new :) One thing to add about the location: when you enter from the front door, go through the door next to the stairs (left side) and make a right down the hallway. You should be able to find her suite in that direction.

Yuki takes her time and is really gentle during the application. The retention is great too! Mine…read moreare going strong for 3 weeks and I am coming back for a refill/new set I haven't gotten lash extensions for years but I really like the styles she offers so I think I will keep giving this a try. I like that it's a private studio - note that her office is on the left side of the main entrance when you walk in. I got lost going to the bathroom side!

I've been debating on writing a review for a couple months now... and that's because CJ is so…read moreamazing and I've just wanted to keep her all to myself! I've been coming to CJ for almost a year now for lash extensions, and she is so good at what she does! I've been to a handful of different artists, and she is definitely the best. First, she is so nice and easy to talk to, and she always asks you how you want to do your lashes at the beginning of every appointment. I've gone to previous lash artists who can never remember what style/length we did the previous time, but CJ always remembers. The whole process is very comfortable, and I never have to worry about it being painful. I always leave loving my lashes! In addition, her studio is very clean and she puts out the cutest refreshments! She's very quick to respond to texts, and very accommodating to your schedule. CJ's studio is located in a building that has a large parking lot, so you never have to worry about finding parking.

Getting eyelash extensions done by CJ was definitely one of the best beauty decisions I have ever…read moremade. I'm not a huge fan on the glue on false eyelashes, I've always thought they change your eye shape. But I really wanted to have nice, full lashes for my upcoming wedding so before my bachelorette party, I decided to give eyelash extensions a go. Before jumping into the application process, CJ and I chatted for a few minutes about what my expectations were and what kind of length + style I was going for. After seeing a bunch of different examples, I decided to move forward with the Lush lashes and was so so so happy I did!! During the application process, CJ explained everything in detail, from the initial washing of my lashes to showing me how to maintain them at home. When I first opened my eyes I was shocked to see FULL, long, and beautiful lashes that I think I was a bit taken aback. I can't wait to go in for a fill and to keep these maintained! I love the way they look and feel and don't know if I'll ever be able to return back to mascara. If you're curious about eyelash extensions, GO TO CJ! She's incredible.

The owner and eyebrow artist, Tongtong, is EXTREMELY patient, professional, and precise…read more Including YT Brow Studio, I consulted 8 eyebrow studios or salons for my very first nano blading eyebrows. I was amazed by Tongtong's honesty, transparency, and experience, whereas a few other artists just recommended me the most expensive service rather than the most suitable one. Tongtong spent more than TWO HOURS on the nano blading eyebrows. She is one of the few and most detail-focused experts I have ever met: many times I was like "this part looks good/shall we move forward?" She was like "No this is not good enough. Please let me adjust it."----a note: nano blading eyebrows require the artist to design the eyebrow hairs ONE BY ONE. My eyebrows turned out to be so natural and amazing! Everyone, including my colleagues and even my dentist, first thought was they were natural, and second thought was "what is the artist's contact information?" Tongtong offered FREE touch up within 3 months, versus many other studios would charge $50-$100 after the first appointment. My eyebrows maintained the shape and color very well, but Tongtong still insisted and gave me a very detailing touch up. For any professional and caring artists, their names should be known and their business deserves recognition. I highly recommend Tongtong and YT Brow Studio to everyone! Thank you Tongtong!

I've been searching for a brow service for months and took a chance when I saw the photos from…read moreT_browslab. There used to be another 5-star review here that guided me to schedule my appointment but apparently it got removed by Yelp? :-( Hopefully mine stays put :-) The outcome I wanted was a natural looking set of eyebrows but a lot of shops make them either too dark, orange-y, or overly shaped. So I appreciate all the photos that Tong provided on Yelp to validate her consistency and incredible work. It's exactly what I wanted! Tong has been doing eyebrows and other cosmetic services for 6 years but is pretty new to Yelp (she uses other apps like Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book or the Chinese version of Instagram). I reached out to her via Instagram as she doesn't yet have a website. She doesn't use IG often so we had back and forths for about 2 weeks before we finally got something scheduled. I also had a lot of questions and she helped answer everything before we got to scheduling. The procedure took a little over 2.5 hours and I appreciated how detailed Tong was. She first outlined what the shape would look like and got my approval before starting the actual process. The numbing cream was clutch; I didn't feel any pain! Afterwards, she texted me instructions on what to avoid doing over the next 7-28 days, and also sent me home with some saline wipes for the next two hours after as well as instructions for the next two days (simple steps to wipe the brows and retain the pigment). She rents a room inside the nail salon so just head into Sassy Nail Spa. It's located in a big outdoor shopping plaza so lots of parking (and food options). I'll post photos when it's all set and gravy. I'm really happy with how they turned out. Thank you so much, Tong! HIGHLY recommend. Just be patient and try reaching out on IG: @t_browslab if you don't hear back from her on Yelp.
