    Facial space
    Shayna C.

    Don't think of Cathea as a place to only get a facial. Rather, think of it as a whole experience. I was immensely impressed by their cleanliness, aesthetic location, professionalism and friendliness and going the extra mile. After the consultation, I elected to switch my service from the Unstress Calming to the Biophyto Herbal Skin which targeted my skin's profile. I additionally added on the silk eye treatment. Initially, I was worried whether this was a location that pushes for higher paying packages in a scheme to make you pay more but at no point during the consultation with Haley did I feel pressured or failed to see the logic of the recommended treatment. After this experience, my skin feels like a baby's skin (no exaggeration). Another key point I really enjoyed was not only targeting the face but also the neck and collarbone area. Haley was knowledgeable, attentive and kind throughout the session. Looking forward to coming back here

    Sweet treat after your facial

    A facial day is the best day! I've always wanted to do a skin analysis and I'm so glad I was able to get it done here. They are an Asian-owned skincare clinic located in Milpitas. They start off with the skin analysis, where they show you all your wrinkles, pores, blackheads, and sebum areas. After my analysis, I was recommended the Biophyto Herbal Skincare Management Treatment ($189), which is best suited for those with large pores. And let me tell you... Catherine spent an hour on extractions and deep cleaning all of my clogged pores! After, she applied a variety of treatments and masks to calm my skin down. I loved how she focused on my wrinkles and even gave me a face lift with all her techniques. She massaged different parts of my head, face and neck for lymphatic drainage. By the end of the facial, I felt so relaxed and snatched! To end the facial, they even provided me a sweet treat. There's no better way to spend a self-care day than getting a facial here!

    Came here for a facial and after starting with a skin analysis with Catherine, I chose the Venetian Lift and Revitalizing facial which is one of the pricer options but I wanted the full experience. The facial included deep cleaning, extraction, a lifting and firming mask, eye care, and a jelly mask at the end. The whole treatment lasted 2 hours and I left feeling amazing. My skin was so clean from the extraction and the cool jelly mask at the end helps with any sensitivity. Catherine and the entire staff was amazing and I love that they give you a drink and a snack to enjoy before or after. Catherine also did a great job of prompting me as needed to make sure I new what to expect during. Will definitely be back - I wish they introduce a package for repeat sessions!

    From the second you walk in, you feel taken care of. It's so clean and the staff is so professional and friendly! They started with a free skin analysis and helped me decide what's the best facial for me. I chose one that was 1.5 hours and felt super relaxed the entire time. They even gave me a massage, cleaned up my brows, and did a very thorough extraction. They even gave me a small bday gift for my birthday! 10/10 would recommend, I'll definitely be back!

    Had an amazing experience and my skin is great after coming here. definitely would recommend 10/10.

    You don't get a copy of your skincare analysis...just a pic of it.

    I think this place is a TikTok / Instagram trap and is probably better for folks who are just looking to get pampered and not get genuine skincare analysis or care tips. Overall, it was a very underwhelming experience and I didn't leave with any new knowledge about my skin. The experience was not personalized or anything special. [Service] Arrived early with my friend to ensure we could get a skincare analysis with their face scan technology. There was no one to greet us at the front desk so we just stood there and waited until someone from the back came out. After the face scan (which we came early for), we waited for our rooms to be ready and didn't start until after our appointment time. During treatment, I didn't feel like I was the focus of their attention (as they state on their website). Someone knocked on the door twice throughout the facial, there was chatter, and it was just not relaxing at all to be interrupted multiple times. [Face scan] This seems cool at first but not sure how it was helpful in the end. The person helping us just quickly went through each tab and that was really it. They didn't care to actually understand our needs, goals, and skin condition. My results said I had oily skin and the staff member said that isn't accurate but everything else should be. How does that even make sense? I asked for copy of my results and they said I can take pictures of it...okay. I asked them to email me the skin analysis and they agreed to...turns out it was just pictures they took on their phones and then sent to me. It just feels very unprofessional. Anyway, they recommended the same facial treatment for my friend and I even though we have very different skintype. I went with the recommendation because I wanted to trust they were personalizing the experience. [Treatment] This is a 90 minute treatment but I'm sure I laid there waiting for at least 30+ minutes during the experience. I kept asking what was happening with each step and only received very short responses so I stopped asking. Each step that used some kind of tool felt rushed because they prob spent seconds instead of minutes...not sure about the effectiveness due to the rush. I think there was a language barrier too...I asked how my skin is after the extractions and they said they were going to put on a mask. Um ok. I also asked what is my skin type and they said the mask is good for large pores. Like I said...language barrier. At some point, the staff member put some kind of mask on me and said I need to wait 20-30 minutes for it and she disappeared for awhile. When I looked at the clock, there was less than 10 minutes left and she eventually came back and quickly wrapped up after washing my face one last time. The facial did nothing special for my skin. I honestly don't know who is licensed and who has just been trained to do facials.

My previous artist effed up my brows, so theirs still a faded line below my new tattoo. Some artist won't work with that because its more difficult to tat up but she found her way around to glamorize my brows again. Normally I have anxiety doing 1 on 1 sessions with a stranger, especially if they're gonna needle in my eyebrows, but Vivian's calm demeanor and relatable conversations put me at ease through out the whole procedure. One topic that put me at ease: We spoke about our eyebrow journey and how we didn't like it when artists force us to go with their opinions. Which reassured me that she is chill and will help me get the brow style I prefer. Another topic that made me conclude that she is knowledgeable and experienced with many clients: knows the many different styles of eyebrows. Even listed how old school Vietnamese ladies like the rainbow like arch and how Koreans or Asians straight from the motherland prefer thicker brows. Which is very much accurate from my own encounters. If you want every little detail of how the procedure went, keep reading below. 1st session - 1. Considerate enough to ask if you need to use the restroom before the session begins. 2. Sits you down and consults what your preference of eyebrow style is. 3. She will then dip a string with erasable ink and line your brow area in order to make the tattoo symmetrically even. 4. Proceeds to draw in the style you ask. Adjust to your liking. I personally wanted it thinner and more arched, which she negotiated and fixed for me without hesitation. You know how some artist out there can be and fight to be right. 5. She applies a numbing cream. Sets it in for a bit then starts needling. 6. Finished! She hands you a mirror to see how you like it so far since she genuinely cares if it matches your preferences. 7. Afterwards you get a cute mini hustle butter to apply on your brows. Safe to use and smell so much better than aquaphor. 8. Gives you a run down on after care and lets you know to text her if you got any questions. 2nd session for touch up - Quicker session since it's just to check up if you want it darker or wanna add more detail. Thanks again Vivian!

    WTF. this is NOT a nail salon by any means…read more I couldn't find a nail salon open after 6 on a Sunday and randomly called this place for a pedicure after frantically browsing Yelp. I had the worst experience and seriously regret this choice, especially because they took my payment by **writing down my debit card number, expiration and security code** on a piece of paper for later processing. I'm terrified to see what happens on that end. There was no pedicure station with running water let alone an actual massage chair. I had to sit in a normal leather chair while holding my legs up one at a time for over an hour. By the end my back was hurting from leaning and balancing throughout the lengthy procedure. The technician (IDK what else to call her) cut my toenails so short that it hurts for anything (my bedsheets, etc) to touch the skin. It took over 30 minutes to 'clean up' the cuticles and it honestly looks like I put my foot down the garbage disposal (too embarrassed to post a photo). She didn't give me a choice of colors, just brought over 3 baby, pale, sheer pinks and had me choose one. She said that my nails were too short to have a bright color. Okay then. The top coat was by Wet n Wild. There was NO massage which was completely shocking because this fiasco cost $28. Yes, she asked me to include a tip. And tried to advertise her other services. I wish I walked out as soon as I realized I was the only customer in the salon. 10/10 do not recommend!

    Angela is the BEST!!! I have been considering getting my brows done for YEARS, but could never…read morecommit due to fear of my brows looking unnatural. There are a few reasons I felt comfortable moving forward with Broderie Ink: - Angela herself. She's a perfectionist and a pro. She was patient with me and her knowledge of her craft convinced me to trust her with my virgin brows. - Nanoblading: this technique is what she specializes in and yes, there is a difference between nanoblading and microblading so do your research. Nanoblading takes time, but it's well worth it. - Natural brow strokes/style: I wanted very natural-looking hair strokes and a no makeup look - basically, I wanted my brows to look the same but fuller. I don't wear make-up often and having very defined brows all the sudden (although they look nice on others) wouldn't be natural on me. Ultimately everyone has different wants for their brows, so speak up about what you want, trust Angela and know that everyone's brows heal differently - you may need a touch-up and that's normal. I am very happy with the end result of my brows, so thank you Angela and Vien!

    Ok, so after my experience with Broderie, I have a few tips:…read more1) CONSIDER THE FULL LASHLINE option. I honestly had never thought about getting the bottom lashline done, and I was genuinely not sure about adding it on--it was Angela's suggestion! But I am thrilled with how it came out. It definitely makes me look more awake and does NOT emphasize my dark under eye circles, which I worried about. Honestly, in my admittedly limited experience (got my brows/top lashline done once before elsewhere), lashlines last SO LONG on me that they're totally worth it. Last time my brows didn't even make the 2 year mark, but I could still see the lashline clearly after 5 years! So here's hoping they hang around this time. 2) If something is asymmetrical after your initial job, don't freak out, just let Angela know and it'll get taken care of in the touchup. She spent a good long time on my touchup; she is a perfectionist who honestly just wants to do a good job. 3) It is normal for the eyes and brows to feel a bit swollen while the process is going on, but once she is done, Angela will apply this magical epinephrine and the swelling will basically disappear (for me, anyway!) I don't remember my previous place doing this and it was really nice. Thanks, Angela ^_^ Overall, my brows and lashlines came out awesome and natural, just like i wanted them, and they photograph amazingly too :D

I found her on Yelp and saw 4-5 stars not realizing a majority was for microblading and not lashes. I called and she took me in an hour later at her home which seemed "normal" to me because of COVID-19. She did state she works from home and not her salon because of her fear for COVID-19 which I totally understood. The process took about an hour. When I saw it I was so happy because it looked very nice. I was looking at my lashes on my way home and touched them ever so lightly and that's when I felt this hardness all across my lids. When I got home I looked in the mirror and I saw so much glue. More than 50% of the lash extensions were glued crookedly over my lashes.
