I have been going to see Michelle at Bella Faces for my eyelash extensions since last October 2016. She does amazing work! I love how personable she is and I think her work speaks for itself. I love how many compliments I get on my eyes/lashes now! I highly recommend Michelle. She is worth every penny. I also got my brows micro bladed with Michelle. I've been extremely happy with them. At my first session she drew in the shape and actually took what was uneven before I came to her and evened out my eyebrows. She gave me options of shades. She told me what she recommended based on my skin tone and I was able to choose the one I thought was best. I have been very pleased. At my touch up appointment I love them even more. I recommend the touch up appointment because it is included and it makes a huge difference on how long they last and the final outcome. I'm including a picture taken of my microblading touch up appointment with shading, which also shows my eyelash extensions that are a week and a half old. She gets booked way in advance so I highly recommend making your next appointment right away for however many weeks your lash cycle is. So far mine has been a 3 week lash cycle consistently. read more

It was a last minute thing, but my husband suggested that I treat myself to get my makeup done before our family photo shoot. I told him I wasn't up for it but he said that with me being a new mom and not having any time to myself, I deserved it. I looked around and did some research and stumbled upon Michelle. I went to her site and decided to inquire about her services. She got back to me the same day and there and then I put a deposit and made my appointment. The day arrived and my daughter vomited all over her dress, my infant was grumpy and didn't want to eat, my husband forgot to get an outfit for my daughter, and my eyebrows were insane, so I was running very late. I called to tell her that I was running maybe 15 minutes late, it was more like 30 minutes! Michelle was very accommodating and understood. I calmed right down as soon as she started doing my makeup. She asked me if there was a look I was going for and I showed her a few photos. She got the makeup done perfectly! I was very happy with the results and the makeup lasted all day! No touch ups needed! I felt beautiful all day and even my husband couldn't stop raving about how great my makeup looks and told me I should do it more often. I'm definitely going to Michelle the next time I need an oomph to my look. read more

Michelle is friendly but her work is horrible. She does not measure your face. She does not draw them in before she begins her work to get the customer approval. She just "eye balls" it. My eyebrows are so uneven they don't even look like they belong on the same face! Extremely disappointed. I would not recommend Bella Faces for eyebrow micro blading. The ink is way to dark for my fair complexion and they are extremely uneven. Look at the pics and let them speak for themselves. Reply to your comment: First; there were no before and after pics taken. Second; I was given a mirror while laying down and swollen. Third; this was your touch up on your previous work and you completely changed the shape and color of my eyebrows. Why would I go back to you? You said you were going to use a different brown than before but assured me it wouldn't be to dark for me. I'm a natural blonde/red head, the color you used is almost black! I have gone to several professional permanent makeup artists that have said to correct the shape they would have to make them very thick. I am currently in the process of having them laser removed. If you'd like to fix your mistake and correct your horrible work you can pay for the removal treatments. read more

I really debated writing this review. I've never written a negative review but after much thought, I think it's the right thing to do. I went to Michelle for eyelash extensions and fills for nearly a year. As a person, I found her to be quite personable and enjoyed our conversations. I was always pleased when I left although I began to notice that I was losing significant clumps of lashes in a relatively short period of time. My fills were barely lasting two weeks and Michelle told me that it was my lash growth cycle. It was probably also the way I slept or maybe I was rubbing my eyes without realizing it. I accepted this, continued to tip extremely well, and reduced the time between appointments. I didn't complain. I wasn't the expert. Finally, 4 days after one particular fill, I lost half the lashes. My eyes looked awful with huge gaps in the center. It took a couple of attempts before I was able to get a response from Michelle, and she told me I would have to wait 3 weeks for an appointment. There's no way way I could have walked around like that for three weeks. I did some research and found someone who was able to see me within a couple of days and fix the problem. I never went back. I am thrilled with the results and the service I have been getting from my new aesthetician. This is what I believe now. The reason my lashes were falling out in clumps is because they had been applied that way. I was paying for individual lash extensions but I was getting something else. I believe now that glue was being brushed across my lid and then lashes stuck on that way. When Michelle was doing my fills, I was never there more than 25-30 minutes. Now that my lashes are being done correctly, I realize that there's no way that 25-30 minutes was enough time to do them. I realize now that the "sticky" feeling I had everyday was from the lashes sticking to each other -again because the glue had been brushed across my lids. Obviously if the lashes are glued to each other, if one falls out, it will pull out others. The most disappointing thing for me was that despite the fact that I was a good customer who did not complain and tipped very well, when left in an untenable situation with holes in my lashes, Michelle chose to brush me off. The irony is, I would likely have paid for another fill - I just needed it fixed! However, not only was she unwilling to extend good customer service to a regular customer, she couldn't even manage to squeeze me in for a paying appointment. I do owe Michelle for one thing. All of this has ultimately directed me to the person I'm using now. She's amazing! Check my other reviews. read more

I really like the Russian eyelashes, but did not want it to be overly thick and voluminous because that'll going to be too much for my Asian eyes, especially for daily wear (speaking from previous experiences). After explaining to Michelle what I wanted she did her magic and proof... exactly what I wanted. The lashes were very natural looking, and the lengthen and volume complemented my eyes without being overwhelming. Michelle is awesome. read more

Michelle is absolutely amazing. She is talented and professional. She did my makeup for my wedding. She asked for pictures of everyone getting their makeup done so she could study their faces (skin tone, eye shape, face shape etc). Everyone turned out beautiful. I had various ethnicities in my bridal party so I was skeptical about artists having the full range of skin tones... But she does. Her specialty is definitely eye makeup. Can I say stunning!!! I am also very particular and Michelle was patient, listened to all my concerns and implemented all my changes. She even explained everything as she was doing it and gave some helpful makeup application pointers. I couldn't be happier with the quality of my makeup for my wedding day. My pictures were amazing!!! read more

Michelle is my go-to gal. I was a little hesitant when deciding to do lash extensions. The process seemed so invasive. She addressed all of my concerns and made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. Michelle does an awesome job for the first application and with each fill. The lashes look so real. It is so nice to wake up and not need to apply eye makeup. Love Michelle and love the lashes! It doesn't stop at lashes...Michelle has also applied make up on me for several occasions. Most recently she did my make up for my bachelorette party. It looked great and I got so many compliments! Michelle does such a great job helping girls look like their best self. My make up lasted all night and I am so looking forward to Michelle doing my make up again soon! If you're looking to get all dolled up see Michelle! Seriously...she's the best. read more

I just got my sassy eyelashes done by Michelle. She's the greatest ever! This past week my eyes were hurting from the unprofessional 'eyelash extensions" that weren't even individuals from a shady salon place and I came to Michelle for help. She did her best by cleaning all the glue out of my eyelashes, replacing my uneven eyelashes and made them fuller again. All I can say is that I don't feel balled anymore! Haha. Any who Michelle is the best. If any of my friends want their eyelashes done I will definitely recommend her. read more

Michelle is the GREATEST! She has done my mom's lashes in the past and they always looked great, so when it was time to find a make-up artist for my wedding, it was a no brainer that I would pick Michelle. She was wonderful! From our consultation, where she showed me what airbrush vs. traditional make up would look like, and gave me ideas on how we could make my look work, it was just the best. Fast forward to my wedding day, she was there ready to go and did the best work, I got complimented over and over at on how great my make up looked, and I might add that it lasted all night, which has always been difficult for me in the past! I would recommend Michelle to anyone, and I plan on using her again for any and all special occasions that I am attending. Thank you Michelle!! read more

I first had Michelle apply a full set of eyelash extensions for my daughter's wedding in April 2013. I had them applied a couple weeks before the wedding date, just in case I had a reaction to the adhesive used (this was a nonissue). I had considered just applying false eyelashes, but didn't want to worry about them coming off at the wedding (with the tears I knew I would shed). I am so glad that I went with the extensions! I hadn't planned on keeping the extensions, but here I am 7 months later and I still have them. I absolutely LOVE them! Michelle is absolutely amazing. She is professional and personable and does a fabulous job. If you are looking for eyelash extensions, I would highly recommend using Michelle. read more

Michelle is wonderful! I recently moved to Murrieta from Orange County and have been going to Orange County for Eyelash Extensions for the past year and a half. I have been searching for someone local and am thrilled that I have to look no further! I'm very happy with my lashes, the reasonable prices, flexible schedule and professionalism! She really listens to what her clients want and even shows her clients pictures of numerous options on her computer, which I found extremely helpful. I am definitely going to recommend her to my friends and family. Thank you Michelle! My days of driving two hours to OC and then two hours back, are finally over!!!

I had been referred to Michelle at Bella Faces by one of my friends. Michele has applied eyelash extensions to my friend for quite some time now. I have had 2 sets applied and am hooked. Michelle's studio is clean, well set up and very comfortable. Michelle uses music and lighting to help you relax prior to applying the eye lash extensions. Michelle seeks out what end result you are looking for and explains the process and the care involved with the extensions. Michelle's finished product is incredible!!! I never thought my eyelashes could look longer and fuller without an entire tube of mascara. I have and will continue recommending clients to Michelle and Bella Faces. read more
