Booking my appointment was an absolute breeze thanks to their use of Vagaro, an online platform that's so user-friendly I was able to pick a time slot that worked perfectly for my busy schedule in just a few clicks. What I loved even more was discovering the variety of packages they offer, which made it easy to bundle services like brow shaping and waxing at a great value, saving me both time and money. Lisa offers such a wide range of services, from precise eyebrow threading to full-body waxing, and I was blown away by the options available to customize my treatment exactly how I wanted it. Lisa's skills and techniques are excellent. She's clearly a master at her craft, with an attention to detail that left my brows looking perfectly sculpted and my skin feeling smooth and refreshed. Every step of the process showcased her expertise, whether she was shaping my brows with precision or ensuring the waxing was as comfortable as possible, and I could tell she's truly passionate about delivering top-notch results. Beyond her technical abilities, Lisa is incredibly personable and conversational, which made the entire experience feel so warm and welcoming. She took the time to chat with me about my preferences, shared some great tips for maintaining my brows, and kept the conversation light and fun, like catching up with a good friend, which made the time fly by. The location of Brows and Bushes is super convenient, right in a central spot that's easy to get to, and I had no trouble finding parking, which is always a huge plus in a busy area. The business is tucked away in a private room on the second floor of Nueve Salon and Spa, which gives it a cozy, exclusive vibe, though I should note there's no elevator, so you'll need to climb a flight of stairs to get there. The private room itself was clean, comfortable, and perfectly set up for a relaxing experience, and I appreciated how Lisa made it feel like a little oasis despite being part of a larger salon. Overall, my visit to Brows and Bushes was an absolute delight, and Lisa's combination of professionalism, warmth, and skill has made me a loyal client--I can't wait to book my next appointment and try more of her amazing services!

When you come into the salon, head straight upstairs and her office is the one straight ahead. There is a table where you can lie on, and she will guide you through the kind of lashes you may want. They have lashes in different styles, the natural style, the sexy style, etc. I asked for the very natural looking lashes. As I like to wake up, looking like I have done my make up without doing anything, especially when I travel. That way I don't need to bring tons of make up and make up remover with me. The Lash Extension took a little over an hour, I felt comfortable and relaxed while listened to nice music. My lashes Extension was exactly what I was looking for, natural, lightweight, and looking great without putting on mascara, while avoid looking like a drag queen. Highly recommend.

She's always open to great conversation, but she also respects your comfort if you feel like taking a nap! Her touch is extremely gentle. Most times, you can barely feel her hands applying your lashes. She plays some quiet jazz music, perfect for relaxing as she does her magic. She works at just the right speed where your lashes are done in a timely manner, but you never feel like she's rushing through. The most amazing thing about Mami-san's lashes is that they LAST MUCH LONGER than any other place I've visited. I got my lashes a few days before a 2-week vacation, and I still came back with my set still in tact. Those babies held on through 4 countries, countless train rides, miles of walking, a 2-hour-long speed boat ride in the Atlantic, and up a giant mountain in the rain and wind. At times, the wind was so strong, I felt like they were going to fly off or that I would take off into the wind with them! They endured! Fantastic! I've been to a few other lash artists before, but I really do believe Mami-san is the best!

Shady business. I had an extremely disappointing experience at Honolulu Lashes & Glows with Anna,…read moreand I feel it's important to warn others before booking services here. First and foremost, Anna used a sensitive solution on my lashes without informing me or getting my consent beforehand--something that is completely unacceptable in any professional setting. She was aware that I had a previous lash lift (done over a month prior) but still failed to communicate what she was using on my lashes until after the service. I never agreed to a sensitive formula and should have been given the opportunity to make an informed decision. Secondly, Anna initially told me that a touch-up would be free if the solution was too weak--something we had already discussed at the end of my lash lift appointment. But when I reached out unhappy with the results, she completely backtracked and told me I would need to pay for another service. On top of that, she wrote up an entirely new contract stating that I would need to pay for services, which felt extremely unnecessary and only reinforced how unwilling she was to stand by her original word. Her communication throughout this process made it incredibly clear that she was hesitant to take responsibility or help me feel satisfied with my results. It felt like she was doing everything she could to avoid offering the touch-up she had already promised. To make things worse, she refused to validate parking for the follow-up appointment, which just made it even more obvious that she didn't want to do the touch-up at all. That level of dishonesty and lack of accountability is exactly why I won't be returning. I paid close to $120 for a lash lift that I'm not satisfied with, yet there was no resolution on Anna's end. Completely unprofessional to say the least. Lastly, I want to emphasize that I waited well over a month between lash lifts, and I know my body well enough to recognize that my lashes were not damaged prior to this treatment. The outcome I received was unsatisfactory, and rather than offering a solution, Anna made the situation far more stressful and complicated than it needed to be. I've decided I'd rather pay someone else to fix the mistakes made here than continue dealing with a business that is this untrustworthy and unprofessional. On top of taking my money elsewhere, I will be telling everyone I know to also take their business elsewhere and stay away from this shady business.

Gyoungsil works out of a small, functional room inside LEEKAJA Hair Bis, the hair salon in the Madang plaza on Wilshire and Western. I've gone to her (and her old partner Lucy, per my previous review) a few times over the years, in two or three different spots, but she seems to have settled here, or has been here, in any case, since before COVID. It's a good spot, and easy to access for customers. The plaza has plentiful garage parking, and I think it's usually free with validation. The entrance is a little confusing, though. I believe it's on Manhattan, and it might only have signs for H Mart. My eyebrows are naturally thin and light, so without significant help, I kind of might as well not have them. Microblading has been a blessing since I first started getting it done in my twenties, and Gyoungsil is my preferred practitioner. I don't know enough about eyebrows to tell her what to do, but every time, she manages to make my brows look just the way I want. She's also great at making the process comfortable and relatively painless, which is not nothing when you're dealing with topical numbing cream and innumerable cuts from a small knife. I probably wouldn't do this if it were a once-a-month thing--it costs $300 before tip (payable through VenMo) and again, it involves a knife on your face--but microblading makes my eyebrows look good for well over a year (and last time, I didn't even bother with the touch-up a month later). I'm grateful that this service exists, and unless my brows stop being sad and wispy, I will remain a loyal Beautyholic customer.

Upon entering I wasn't greeted. There was a girl sitting just on her phone. I said "hey" and she said "oh you can have a seat, Lexy should be in soon." And thats it. Lexy comes in rushing. She is also late. I booked my appointment 10:55am and it was pushed back 11:10am. Because she was late. I was also notified at 10:33am for her running late. I was already in the area. Because if you read their cancellation and late policy they can be VERY STRICT about it. Which I found funny because my first time booking. THEY ARE LATE. I was a little disappointed because I started work at 1:30pm. Pushing it back even 20mins I know I would be in a time crunch. But whatever... I didn't wanna cancel because THEY were late and be charged 100% for a service. Which is also one of their policies. This is one of their other policies.... -GRACE PERIOD IS 9 MINUTES, AT 10 MINUTES THERE IS A $10 LATE FEE, AFTER 15 MIN IT WILL RESULT IN THE FORFEITURE OF THE ENTIRE APPOINTMENT AND WILL BE CHARGED 100% OF THE SERVICE BOOKED. YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME. Lol. Anyway, for what I paid $200 something for lashes. Volume lashes that was half filled not to mention half bald. NOT WORTH IT. My whole appointment was quiet. Lexy didn't say one word to me. Except for how long. And I told her long. And that was the last time I ever heard her talk to me until she was done. I finished about 1:40pm ish. After my appointment I went straight to work, I was running late. And I had a few comments on how "natural" my lashes was. THEY ARE VOLUME I PAID $200 something for VOLUME!!! I called and went back the next day for a mini fill because those lashes were not volume nor were they filled. I left with not much of a difference. Laid there for another 3 hours for my lashes to NOT look full. I couldn't believe how bald they still were. My natural lashes on our outer eye and inner eye weren't filled. They went thicker on the lashes which made a slight difference but still not that much. My wispy strip lashes that I buy for $5 have more volume than the $200 volume lash extensions I paid them for here. I wish I loved it here because of the convenience of the location, price wasn't an issue. Quality was just not worth the price!

I wanted to get sugared for a while now and finally decided to contact Sharnay after looking at other Yelp reviews. She was able to fit me in. She is located in the building across from Kaiser Hospital. Her space is upstairs which was easy to find with her very clear directions I received after booking and the signs presented near the door. There is also plenty of street parking across the street near McKinley HS. When I first walked in, I noticed the room was decorated with plants and crystals-- which is just my style. The room for the sugaring was clean and wipes were provided. The process was a lot shorter than I was expecting, around 15-20 minutes for everything GONE! It was also a lot less painful than regular waxing at home. Will be going back for my 7 week maintenance!
