I don't have naturally great brows, so it's important to me that I entrust the sad, thin brow hairs…read moreI have to an esthetician who will not take half of them off. It's so important such that I had put off getting my brows threaded (something I used to do ~monthly) since moving here many months ago. Anything less than perfect ratings was not a ringing endorsement for me, so I kept toughing it out until I found myself back in California. Unfortunately, they had grown a bit out of control and I redid my research out of desperation. Not sure why it didn't pop up for me before, but Glow Studio was a diamond in the rough. It had perfect reviews and they seemed like they knew what they were doing. I can, in fact, now confirm that Emily is an absolute goddess and my brows are saved. I got my brows and upper lip waxed for $35, which is pretty standard pricing. The studio is super cute and clean, and it was such a well-cultivated space that I felt relaxed just being there. The process was seamless, and I felt comfortable with Emily doing what she felt was best for my brows. They came out perfectly -- there was clearly cleaning that was done, they're not thin, and the length was maintained. The waxing process took 10-15 minutes and was not painful. I feel the need to talk about Emily, too. First off, she's got the best vibes and is so easy to talk to. She truly knows what she's doing and has your best interest at heart (she will not let you ruin your brows over some ephemeral trend, girlfriend). She thoroughly walks you through the process and explains the whys of things to you (e.g. why you need to avoid retinol and AHAs leading up to a wax sesh). She is so knowledgeable and confident that it's impossible to not trust her. She's so careful and good at what she does, and I can't imagine going anywhere else in this city. I booked online a few days in advance, and it was a straightforward process. You put in a request for when you'd like to come in and then it gets confirmed. Emily personally texted me the morning of with clear instructions on how to get there and was accommodating to me running a few minutes late. There are plenty of other services available, and I'm beyond excited to come back for a facial and more. Cannot recommend Glow Studio enough; am super grateful to Emily for making my entire day, honestly.

Today was my second time visiting. The first time I went I got a lash lift and today I got a facial and another lash lift (which usually lasts 1month and a half for me). Emily is really friendly and attentive to your needs. She was nice enough to give me cleanser and sunscreen samples. My face is feeling softer and moisturized than ever and I will definitely, definitely go back. The only downside is the studio itself is pretty hard to navigate/enter. Make sure to literally use the other door--left door. I kinda struggled and thought there was another entrace and I felt like an idiot. Use the key pad thingy to let them open the door and glow studios is on the third floor.

I was very pleased with today's service!…read more The aesthetician being available at the last minute was the first plus. I had an appointment elsewhere today but due to unforeseen circumstances, it was canceled and I was searching all over for a lash extension service before heading out of town. I reached out to three businesses, assuming most would be closed on Monday... Gratefully this business was open and had several appointment times for me to choose from. *hand claps* I saw pictures of their work online so I knew the quality of work was on point before I made an appointment. The establishment is run professionally, appears very clean, and I enjoyed their taste in music. I fell asleep at least twice but the aesthetician was very gentle (and didn't wake me) and I was pleased with the outcome. Lastly, I appreciate this business is owned by a Black woman. I enjoy being purposeful in buying Black and supporting women whenever I can! I'll be back in two weeks for a refill.

A waste of $75 dollars. I would like to support this local salon but given this poor experience for a basic service I cannot trust the quality expectations of the business. If this artist's work was deemed sufficient to pass them into a position of a professional provide and it was sub par, I won't risk attempting another try at this or another service at this salon because quality standards are lacking judging by this service. Very frustrating because I rarely spend $ on beauty given my tight budget and this was a waste of time and dollars.

So I have been here about 5 times now. And the first visit was very pleasant with a nice lady…read more After that, I am always assigned to this one guy who I'm starting to get annoyed with. He smokes between each client and does not wash his hands after smoking. He puts on a coat before going out for a smoke and takes off the jacket, but the smell is still pungent when he sits in front of me to do my nails. Towards the end of a gel color change, he starts to get hasty and the job gets sloppier. I've noticed this all 4 times I have had him now. In addition to this, the second time I came here, I asked what the prices were for each service. I wrote them down for future reference. Well... I have been keeping all 5 receipts and writing on the back what nail service I had done, just because I felt like there was an inconsistency in the pricing. And yesterday was the final proof. A prior visit on 10/22/18 had stated that I paid $23 for gel polish change hand ($15) + regular polish change toes ($8). Well yesterday, I was charged gel polish change hand ($18) + regular polish change toes ($8) = $26. I asked the cigarette guy "last time it was $23?" He responded that in October I asked for regular polish removal to gel polish change hand, whereas yesterday I went from removing gel polish to gel polish change on my hands. So there is a $3 difference between them taking off regular polish vs. gel polish. Had this been the case every time I visited, I would not have cared. But I went home and looked at all my receipts and his explanation was not consistent. Honestly, $3 is not the issue here. I am bothered by the inconsistency and how he talked crap about me to his co-worker sitting next to him for pointing out the price difference. What am I supposed to do? Bring my stack of receipts and point out that he's wrong? No, that would be petty. I think I will go back to this place one last time, request for the female who did my nails during my first visit, and see if the non-cigarette fingers touching me will make the experience better. As for the actual nails... he never does a great job. It's always ok. Again, he gets jittery towards the end of doing your nails because he needs to go smoke and there's always sections of my nail that's not painted on the sides of my fingers. Yesterday he somehow coated my nails with gel so that when cured, my nails were pointy and sharp. When I pointed out that my nails were all sharp and felt like sandpaper, he just filed them down -_- lol At this point I was just ready to leave so I stayed silent and let him pretend to fix my nails. This place is cheap, but I'm starting to see that the quality varies with who you get and the prices seem to change too...

Marina offers online scheduling and she really does book out at least a month in advance. You can, however, find last minute appointments if you really stalk her online scheduling site.

If you get the pedicure sugar scrub they don't use clean water to rinse the scrub off of your legs, they just splash the same water that your feet soak in over your legs. 2. They did not clean or change tools between our manicures, just used the same dirty tools. As a result of that I got an infection on my finger which was not a fun time to deal with. 3. After my partner informed them that she didn't like the nail polish they put on, they just said "Oh," and moved on like nothing happened. 4. They also cut off about half of my partner's toe nail on the side because the worker was rushing, leaving it uneven and crooked. 5. There was a customer who showed up without an appointment, refused to book a future appointment, and just spent the (ungodly) three hours we were there complaining that the salon didn't serve her before us as we had reservations. It surprised me that they didn't ask that customer to leave.
