    This place is absolutely amazing! After my first time getting it done by Winnie, I was absolutely OBSESSED. 5-6 years ago, I called for a consultation and appointment to get my lashes done. Winnie walked me through the process, showed me the type of lashes and glue she uses, and let me know how long it would take. I was going to Mexico and didn't want to keep applying strip lashes, so this was a great alternative. I showed her the strip lashes that I normally use and she was able to replicate the look! Fast forward to today, I still get my lashes done by her. I typically go for hybrid for upkeep day to day and then volume for vacation. I'll admit, I went to see several different lash techs when I kept moving around the bay area, and I always found myself coming back to her no matter how far away I had moved. She is the BEST lash tech in the Bay Area. My lashes stay fluffy, and will always last me 5 weeks for regular hybrid and 4 weeks if I go on vacation to some tropical beach vacation. My skin typically gets oily in the winter time, so I can see my lashes fall out faster, but thats just how my skin is. I've went snowboarding with her lashes and was pretty solid. I've been thrashed around by crazy waves in Mexico, and my lashes were pretty solid. I was in the Philippines and then Japan for a month and my lashes were still hanging on tight. My most recent adventure was to Bora Bora in French Polynesia, and LET ME TELL YOU. WINNIE HAD DID SUCH AN AMAZING JOB, I HAD TO SHOUT HER OUT WHILE ON VACATION. I was in the ocean for at least 8hrs a day and my lashes were still looking amazing by the time I got home. I will note that my experience may be very different compared to some people. However, I do acknowledge that my natural lashes shed and I always try to make my appointment when they shed so my new lash extensions can last longer. Eyelash extensions are not exactly permanent, so you would have to get them filled for upkeep. Quick tips: - Make your appointment online - Show up on time so you don't ruin the flow of appointments! If you come late, this affects the time for everyone else after you - Always good to show Winnie a strip lash as an example of what you want - Be as detailed with the look, show pictures - Do not drink coffee/tea before the appointment, you will not be able to use the restroom while in the middle of her doing her work - Use the restroom before your appointment (its in the back) - I wash my hair/shower before my appointment because you are not allowed to get lashes wet for 24hrs. After care: - Keep lashes dry for 24hrs minimum if you want them to last long - I avoid heavy cream around my eyelash line to help lashes last longer - Avoid oil based make up remover, this will break adhesive and can make lashes fall out faster - I brush my lashes lightly to fix them if they're looking stuck together or misplaced - Make sure you clean all the eye boogers and crust to prevent infections

    I had keratin lash lift for the first time here and I love how it turned out. Heard this type of lash lift lasts long so I have high hopes. I also liked the atmosphere of the salon and all the staff were nice.

    First time getting a lash Lift, absolutely love it! So cute and relaxing Winnie is very welcoming and so sweet. She definitely goes out of her way to make sure you get the look you want. Definitely recommending to everyone to I know!

    The service is amazing. The staff were so nice and professional. The place is well decorated and brings about comfortable space. Love this place

    Last time I got a fill here, he filed like four of my nails so heavily to one side

    Winnie is amazing. The guy they had come in two years ago has stopped me from coming in. Stopped my whole family. I came in last time, and got a pedicure and he filed my Big toe down, so it was bleeding and hurt while I was wearing shoes for work I had worked three jobs at this point in time, my toe was hurting for a whole week. This place used to be super busy all the time, now when you go there there's almost no one there. I don't think it's a coincidence. I came in for an emergency, I was trying to take my nails off at home and then decided to come here my mom had Winnie for a pedicure and I the guy and this man makes me want to cry don't want him near me at all. I wanted my nails removed, I didn't care if I had to soak them and wait an hour I just wanted them removed!!! He literally told me that he couldn't remove them. This place used to be busy, since he's been here, I've never seen more than two people in at the same time. He's driving away customers!!! I used to come here all the time How do you go into a place with bad nails and leave with bad nails He doesn't listen to you like at all. He files nails heavily to one side and expects u to not feel when he cuts a cuticle. Really upset how do I go back to work and convince people to pay 1200 a month on a car note while I point out the numbers with these trash things. He makes me so upset I could cry. Spent the only window of time I had on his bs

    This place is a hidden gem. Winnie was absolutely professional! My biggest worry was the pain involved with my nano brow. She explained the process with her low-key, upfront, honest professional demeanor. Highly recommend this place for your cosmetic needs. This place is clean and well sanitized (which says a lot nowadays). They do take credit, cashless. And as for the end result, I enclosed a before and after of myself. I'm satisfied with the results. This one is a definite recommendation for me.

    Thank You, for my beautiful Eyelashes and Eyebrows! I Love Allure Studio Thank you!

    Thank you for the Beautiful Eyelashes and Eyebrows! I needed my Eyelashes and Eyebrows done for my trip to Jamaica and I was so happy with them that I had to post my picture. I Love Allure Studio! Thank you Winnie

    Came in for an acrylic soak off had my acrylics on for about a week (from a different shop) for my sisters wedding then had to get them taken off for work. He charged me $20 which is a little high for a soak off. Usually when I go on for soak offs it's never a problem in other shops but when I came in the male nail tech proceeded to complain that it won't come off because he couldn't rip them out and had to do the soak off instead. He kept clicking his tongue and seemed irritated through the whole process. I wish they would've just told me they couldn't do it otherwise I would've went somewhere elsez Overall he still left some acrylic on my nails and did a messy job. I left with gunk all over my hands and super dry hands/brittle nails. I washed my hands as he offered then seeing how dry my hands were i asked for lotion to moisturize. This is the aftermath...

    Love this place! Super convenient for where I was located that day and they were ready for me when I arrived after confirming my appointment. The book of colors was really neat - makes choosing colors easy without having to stand there in front of the wall the whole time (not just for gel nails). Pedicure was amazing! She really took her time w/ the massage and also included hot stones which were actually hot (holy gawd)! Super efficient and relaxing considering my feet were pretty banged up before heading in. Incredibly clean and cute spot w/ parking. Definitely will be my go to spot when I'm in the area.

I wanted to just bring my highlights up and toner for the whole thing, but ended up with a full head lightening. I had like dirty blonde highlights. And I told her I do not like warm shades, but she insisted that that's what suits my skin. I lost all my dimension and the shade I loved, and ended up with platinum blonde and yellow roots. I really wanted to be okay, but then my trim, which I showed a picture for, ended up cutting off like all my hair when I explicitly asked for her to just take off the bulk at the back of my head where the disconnected grown out undercut is because it was getting super thick there. I asked for her to just freshen up the rest of my ends...she cut off like two inches of my short hair and now I have a pixie cut, which is not at all like the 90s curtain bangs crop I was growing out. It was the complete opposite. I have all these crazy, choppy layers in my hair and its super thin all over now. I had to go get toner done somewhere else to make the color not so terribly bright and hot near the roots still. I really don't like leaving bad reviews but I literally wanted to cry after I left because I came in asking for one thing and came out after hours later with the complete opposite of what I asked for. It's the liberty with the hair cut that really killed me. My hair is so short now that it has no flow, and I'm devastated.

Her packages were pretty fair in pricing, I thought, compared to some other places I looked at, and she was so easy-going and fun to work with! I got a free trial included in my package and we had quite a lot of fun playing around. Even though Penney lives a little farther out part Martinez, I think it was worth it as many MUAs also charge you another couple hundred dollars just for a trial. I also used the trial makeup/hair to do an engagement shoot, and Penney even let me borrow the hair extensions she had tried on me for the shoot! It was seriously so nice of her. And some of the other places I researched would strongly recommend not using your trial for photos and charging you another fee to do engagement shoot makeup. It's honestly absurd and Penney is no-fuss, no games, down-to-earth, which I appreciated. I won't lie, a big part of why I chose Penney was also because she IS Asian and I wanted someone who knew Asian faces to do my make up. I'm sure non-Asian people can do Asian makeup just as good, but I have trust issues...so sue me! The makeup stayed intact all day (hot June wedding) and the best part was getting a good friend out of all of this! :) I'd highly recommend having her do your hair/makeup!

There were also 7 other girls that needed to have their makeup and hair done (including the two mothers) and they all looked incredible, thanks to Penney and her team! It was really easy for me to tell the team what I wanted for the bridesmaids' look and they made it happen. Besides being an amazing hair and makeup artist, Penney is just an incredibly nice person and super easy to get along with!
