I've been seeing Brittany for my lashes for several months now. I even recently transitioned from…read morenatural lash extension touch ups to volume touch ups and they are amazing. When I first had it done I had wondered if the additional lash volume would irritate my eyes at all, but they still feel as comfortable and weightless as ever! Each time, her work is just so beautiful and consistent without fail. And going to my appointments with Brittany is always a highlight of my month because she's such a fun person to be around! After experiencing the quality of her work I can never go to another lash artist again, she will always be my go-to!

So glad that I found Britanny--my only lash artist for about 4 years now. She's totally a blessing!…read moreHer quality of work is just outstanding. She exceeds my expectations every single time. I ALWAYS leave the room satisfied. Truly an amazing lash artist! She doesn't just make sure my lashes are flawless; she also makes sure that I am comfortable and always makes me feel so relaxed by being kind enough to hear about my day. My lash experience with Brittany has become super therapeutic because of her work and how she is as an artist! If it's your first time trying out lash extensions, you won't regret working with her. She'll explain the process with you and how to take care of your lashes :)

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!

My coworkers have had eyelash extensions and the subtle difference that it can make in your appearance can be dramatic. But where to find someone can be daunting and it was my first time getting eyelash extensions as well. I found QD Lashes Studio from Yelp all appointments are done online. Initially QD Lashes Studio could not get me in on the day I desired but then sent me a notification that there was a cancellation. I was excited to give them a try. QD was also offering 50% off your first classic full set of eyelash extensions which was a significant savings instead of $ 130.00 it was $ 65.00. I booked my appointment and went to get my lashes done. The studio is located inside the Sola Salons in Castro Valley they are located in Studio # 9. It was very clean inside and very calming. The young lady that did my lashes was professional and courteous . She knew that it was my first time so she explained the process to me. She also explained the different styles of lashes. I explained that I wanted them to be a little dramatic but not fake looking. I selected a lash type and she got started. About two hours later I got exactly what I wanted. I was very thrilled with the results! I would go again in fact I plan to get my lashed filled in. I really love my lashed and they looks glamourous and natural.

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 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.
