Novella Review:
It was about time for touching up my gorgeous hair originally done by Iva at ML Hair on Union St--See this review: http://www.yelp.com/biz/ml-hair-studio-san-francisco-2?hrid=4VhVUnd5kVJkr1lK_eK_lg&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct)
When trying to find a time, I found out that she also operates out of Amazing Makeover Studio in Martinez--much closer to my home! How convenient right?!
I arrived at Amazing Makeover Studio--which is located in the owner, Amy's, beautiful home. The studio has a private entrance and is very welcoming and clean. I loved the happy lavender colored walls and attention to making every part of the space beautiful, yet functional. The staff at Amazing Make Over studio immediately makes you feel pampered and like a pretty pretty princess--it is all about you today! This studio is run with so much love and genuine passion that it is infectious. I promise that you will leave happier than you entered. Did I mention how lovely the pricing is? At Amazing Makeover Studio, a make-over is for the real everyday woman, not just people who have won a reality TV show!
Iva, being the creative genius that she is, suggested that we try making my blonde a bit icier and the root slightly darker with a lavender-smokey hue. I was sold! Post ML Hair appointment, I had noticed that my ends were sllllightly (OCD people only would notice) darker than the rest. When I mentioned this, Iva was amazing and fixed this by lightening them to perfectly match during this appointment.
You would think my twice lightened hair would freak out with the ends seeing bleach again, but thanks to the magic of Iva's expert heatless and bond building lightener methods, my hair is as healthy as ever--and a gorgeous icy/smokey blonde as a result!
Did I mention that Amazing Makeover Studio is not just a hair studio? As part of my appointment, I decided to opt for my first professional air brush spray tan from Amy! This is a million times better than inventing new yoga poses while rubbing in at-home tanning creams for hours, or looking like a blotchy leopard after trying to spray yourself. The set up for Amy's air brush tan is through the studio and lovingly set up in Amy's garage. Despite what you may think based on where you are getting tanned, my experience was nothing but 100% professional. Clean towels on the ground and a lovely background were the tanning booth. Amy (having worked at other tanning salons for years) has a wonderful technique for applying your custom spray tan with a high quality tanning air brush. I immediately felt comfortable with her and stepped out of her garage looking like I had just spent 2 weeks in the Bahamas--she customized it to the perfect level for my skin tone. It looks so natural! The formula she uses is magic and I do not look at all like Donald Trump or an Oompa Loompa. Amy gave me all the information for caring for my tan--it should last at least 5-7 days. Longer if you pat dry after showering and put on moisturizer as much as possible. No exfoliating until your next spray tan appointment--which given my experience, there will definitely be a next appointment.
I haven't tried their nail or make up services yet, but I plan to! I will keep you lovely Yelpers updated! Overall, I strongly encourage you to check out Amazing Make Over Studios! Make an appointment now! read more
