Truth be told, it has been a while since my last facial as I am not the most consistent with my skin routine. Also, I'm always secretly scared of what type of ingredients might be applied to my face and that I may not even see or feel the difference after a facial. Why these are my fears, I have no idea, but they are. Pauline was the perfect person to ease my concerns without her even knowing that I had them. I asked her to recommend a facial treatment based off of her assessment and she recommended the Signature Facial with Gemstone Therapy. I really appreciated that she met me at the front lobby of the building (I get lost a lot) and that she explained the process at each phase of the session. She was very gentle and the Gemstone mat was so relaxing. I also loved the music she played. After the session, I was fully relaxed and my skin felt and looked amazing! It looked nice and fresh the next day too. Pauline has amazing, calming energy and she conducts herself very professionally. I am definitely going to book regular sessions with Pauline from here on out and have already told my husband and teenage son that they need to schedule their facials as well!

She did exactly what I asked for and beyond. I felt amazing the entire night because of how she made me look.

From the very beginning, Dantam was incredibly responsive, organized, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. On the wedding day, the team arrived on time, stayed on schedule, and made the entire morning feel smooth and stress-free. Everyone looked absolutely beautiful, and my makeup and hair turned out amazing -- I received compliments all day long! My hairstyle was also absolutely gorgeous and held up beautifully throughout the entire day. Dantam also came back later in the evening to do my touch-up for the nighttime events, which made such a huge difference! I loved both looks so much. She is so sweet and truly cares about her brides. I'm so grateful for her and her team for helping me feel so beautiful and confident on such a special day. Highly recommend!

She was very patient to provide clarifications on pricing and scheduling for the day-of, which was immensely helpful. I am so glad I ended up doing the trial run (paired with a free engagement shoot from my photographer); we had so much fun and her workspace is the best!! So cozy and cute and comfy Lastly and most certainly not least, her makeup and hair services were just what I needed. My friends had mentioned that given that I'm Asian it is helpful to find someone who is good with Asian makeup, and Dantam is certainly it! It's amazing that it takes longer to have a natural style makeup, but I will tell you it looks SO GOOD!!! I keep looking at my photos in disbelief that my hair and makeup survived and looked great after sobbing during my vows and dancing the night away!! Thank you so much for everything, dear Dantam. I really loved working with you!!

She took the time to understand my olive skin tone and worked patiently with me through multiple consultations to nail down exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. Her makeup application was flawless and held up beautifully, even after 14 hours of wear. When my hair didn't turn out as expected the morning of the wedding, I was pretty distraught. Sammy jumped in without hesitation to fix my makeup and make sure everything was perfect before the ceremony. Her kindness and support during that stressful moment meant the world to me and helped me get back to feeling excited about the day. I couldn't recommend her more!

Seriously disappointed in the lack of professionalism displayed. Why offer an appointment to a client and then ghost them? It's now been hours since and I still haven't received any sort of reply. Anyone who gets their lashes done regularly knows a missed appointment is a huge and costly inconvenience to miss a fill. Disappointed I spent my Saturday morning waiting around for nothing.

I don't think I could have trusted anyone else to ensure that I was looking my best. A couple of months before the wedding, during a trial, we talked about color, natural looks, and what I'd feel comfortable with. She cleaned up my brows and made suggestions for what would look best for my big day, including what kind of lashes would work best for me. Her consultation was really professional and made me feel comfortable. With her guidance, I ordered what she recommended and, of course, for my actual wedding day, I left everything at home instead of bringing them to the hotel!! Omg... thankfully, Linh had extras of everything I'd need. She made it work, including back up lashes, and told me not to panic. The customer service, preparedness, kindness, and care really helped to make my day go smoothly. I can't believe I blanked out on such important stuff, but she had me covered. She even helped one of my bridesmaids when that wasn't part of the original plan. I had a truly great day, and it helped to have Linh start my morning off right. Her comforting smile and calm demeanor was such a welcome. Thanks Linh!!

I've tried and gone to endless brow places (in the East Bay, SF and along the Peninsula) over the last ten years - tried everything from just tweezing, waxing and threading - some have been great, some have been not so great. But none have understood me and my brows like Lyn does. She has a knack and eye for natural beauty and seriously brings out the best in your features. My most recent brow experience before going to Lyn left my brows in a disastrous state. Too thin and uneven. As someone with thick and dark brows, it was truly an insecure and vulnerable place to be in. So, again, I was in search of my next brow person. I've always admired Lyn's work on Instagram, so was so excited to see that she was offering appointments again. I signed up for a 'Full Brow Transformation'. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, but I could not be happier with Lyn, the entire experience or how my brows turned out. The second picture is with my brows filled in, but even without them filled in, they look fantastic. I intend on seeing Lyn every couple weeks to maintain and update the shapes of brows - not just through my wedding in September - but for....like...

Tiffany really nails the soft-glam look for makeup. It's very flattering but you still look like you. She's a pro for this What bothered me the most is she didn't mention she had a minimum until after she did my trial. It's not on her website and not in the informational email. In order to meet the minimum, we decided to add my mom and MIL into the schedule but this ended up changing our whole timeline for the morning at the last minute and, I had to wake up way earlier than I planned since she said it would take too long to set up at the Airbnb they were at, but OK. I did a trial with her a week before my wedding and the teasing really damaged my hair, I could barely brush it. My hair looked great during the first look, but it really didn't hold, and even by the ceremony it was falling out. Similarly, my MIL also had curls done and I noticed it didn't hold up either. Lastly, she overslept my trial (which she was very apologetic for). She offered a small discount, but I didn't really feel like it compensated for me taking the day off, spending a whole day driving to San Jose, waiting an hour, driving back, and then rescheduling. She was about 15 minutes late arriving to our venue, but it didn't end up setting our schedule back.
