Lovely experience with Laura. Easy to communicate & schedule. Her space is clean and relaxing…read more The treatment included some light arm and shoulder massage which was so delightful, as not all facial spas provide this.

I was in the area and looking for an eyebrow studio, so I did some research and found Sunita. I got…read moremy eyebrows and upper lip done and the results were amazing. My eyebrows looked phenomenal. I look forward to returning!

I've been going to Beauty Unlimited for years and Fei has always been great. Her services are very…read morerelaxing, she explains everything thoroughly, and overall I've consistently had good experiences with her over the years. She's knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable during appointments. The only thing I will say is that at times I felt a little pushed to purchase additional products that honestly are still sitting on my shelf unused. Besides that, she truly does great work. I'd just recommend standing firm on your budget and what you're comfortable spending. Overall, I still highly recommend her services!

Got a gift certificate for a massage and facial. This studio is situated in a quiet Alameda…read moreneighborhood with street parking. I had a great massage with Fei. Nice strong hands on my shoulders as requested by me. I have never had a facial before and was very hesitant and did not know what to expect. Boy was I surprised. I asked so many questions as to what was being done to my face, the products, the procedures were all gentle and my face feels great. Very clear Fei knows what she is doing with over 20 + Years of experience. I enjoyed myself so much that I will book another appt.

Absolutely ridiculous. Look at what my first experience looked like and how FULL AND CUTE my…read moreeyebrows were. MY ENTIRE eyebrow end is GONE?!! I asked for a clean up. Keep thick and full and said this multiple times before and even during the service twice and she gives me the mirror after she's done and I'm horrified. I was like okay so I need a discount or free charge and she was like okay you have to come back Feb 6 and ask the manager and I was like 0% of that makes sense. Who said that day works for me, how would the manager know if she wasn't informed by u guys....and why would I need my eyebrows done aGAIN now that I have to wait MONTHS to get these suckers to grow back in again like literally do not trust these people. So ridiculous

Just moved to the area and had a great first experience here! Comparative to Daly City/SF where…read morethreading is $18+, IBrow is $15 for just eyebrows. I think they have a 3% fee if paying by card like most small businesses. I got lucky with walking in on a Saturday but the waiting area seats quickly filled up during my service. This was the best/most painless experience I've had in a while and I really appreciated that they were patient when I asked for small corrections afterwards. They ask if you'd like aloe vera and they also do a tiny light massage on the brows afterwards. Highly recommend! They'll ask if you want a punch card and the 6th (or 7th) visit will be free :)

This is a magical healing spot in Alameda that everyone needs to know about. I have been to see…read moreJess for massage multiple times and can attest: she is a gifted, intuitive healer. Last week, I went to see the owner Carrie for a gentleman's facial--including hot stone shoulder massage--and realized I need to take better care of myself, even as I am working so hard to take care of those around me. You owe it to yourself to experience the Secret Garden. Then pay it forward and get a gift certificate for someone who needs it!

i popped in after the farmers market and scheduled a massage that was totally incredible. while she…read morewas massaging me, i kept thinking, this is one of the best massages i've ever had in my life. i told her that, then later found out that she was the owner. i'm now writing this review because everyone should be coming here, but also in retrospect, i think that could be the best massage i've ever had in my life and i've had a lot of massages! it was warm, nurturing, stretchy, soothing. so so so good! 10 stars! i'm going to make a point to start coming here once a month.

I accepted the offer of a redo, and they were able to see me quickly. Now that I know what to expect with a Russian mani I was less surprised and able to appreciate the precision and skill needed for this type of service (though will caution anyone who's never gotten one before that it can be a bit uncomfortable; I recommend you look this up before trying it). My nail tech today also did a lovely job with the nail design. She was very skilled and meticulous with her work (grooming, polish and design) so I expect this set will last longer than my last. If you're getting a Russian mani, take note that you can expect it to take nearly 2 hours, so feed the parking meter accordingly. Overall, I am happy with my experience and will be back. :)
