I spent almost a year thinking about SMP before finally deciding to book a consultation. After…read moredoing some research, I chose SMP Ink in Danville due to their excellent reviews and proximity to my home. As soon as I walked in, I felt comfortable and at ease. Their facility was incredibly clean and well-maintained. There was a classroom in the back and a few procedure rooms in the front. Everything indicated that they were knowledgeable and professional. After speaking with Rodger and Jennelle, I decided to go ahead. The results were amazing! Jennelle is incredibly talented and personable, and it felt like, during each session, I was just hanging out with her, catching up on shows and movies while she worked her magic. Whenever I had concerns outside of their clinic, Rodger was quick to answer all of my questions. My experience here was phenomenal, and I know if I ever have concerns down the road, they will be there to answer my call. For anyone thinking about SMP, I highly suggest stopping by for a chat. If you do begin this journey, always remember to "trust the process" because the results can blow you away.

She is located downtown Orinda in an alley with restaurants and stores. Her shop is super cute and very clean inside. Janell has a nice personality. We had a great conversation about life and family. Janell will apply a numbing cream on your eyes for about 10-15 minutes. The procedure doesn't hurt. You'll feel a tickling or itchy sensation. Janell takes many breaks in between tattooing so it gives you some relief between the session. I am pleased with my results and I am happy I no longer have to draw my brows and eye liner. Thank you, Janell, for your professionalism and artistry. I will be back in the future. I highly recommend visiting Doll Face for permanent cosmetic tattooing.

Amy is the best. I've only had my eyebrows done by her but I wouldn't dream about going anywhere…read moreelse. She is very meticulous about making sure your brows are just right. She takes her time to take all measurements to make your eyebrows as symmetrical as possible. For those that don't know, most eyebrows on one person are not the same. So goes the saying that our eyebrows are sisters, not twins. I've have been going to Amy for about 5 years now. She has such a well rounded personality. She is easy to conversate with and has a great sense of humor. She is very professional, clean and follows all the regulatory rules/ laws. I also have an old eyebrow piercing scar. She covers it beautifully. I also keloid and scar bad. I was initially reluctant to pull the trigger on microblading but I'm so happy that I did. I'm also so happy to have found Amy! Her website is very detailed about her services and you can book online. I find the website is very convenient. I've referred many friends and family members to Amy and will continue to do so. She is worth every penny and some.

I had my eyebrows micro bladed. It was the best decision I ever made. Filling in my eyebrows the old fashioned way was the bane of my existence. I could NEVER get them right nor even/balanced. And it was a time suck! After making the decision to do so, I read every single micro blade business review I could find in my area on Yelp. As soon as I started reading Amy's review, I knew I had found the right person. It's a big decision and not an inexpensive one. But that's why you check reviews in order to help you make your decision. I've never looked back. It was one of the best decisions I made. I LOVE my eyebrows now. Been super happy with her work. She takes her time, is super safety conscientious, and you experience her professionalism in action. I highly recommend Enhanced by Amelia.

I stay consistent with my monthly facials, and the difference in my skin has been incredible. My skin is glowing, healthy, and aging beautifully! Since meeting Jenny, I always renew my 5-visit pass - who doesn't want to be pampered and glowing?! When I first started in late 2025, I didn't realize how much intentional self-care could benefit not only my skin, but my soul too. Each visit feels like an investment in myself. Jenny is absolutely amazing. She is attentive and intentional throughout the entire session, carefully prepping my skin and giving it the love and care it needs. I always leave feeling refreshed with that beautiful, glass-like glow! The studio on Redwood Road in Castro Valley is chic, stylish, comfortable, and impeccably clean, which makes the entire experience even better.

Booked a Tuesday appointment for a back facial, because I've been searching everywhere for one in…read morethe East Bay and I was so excited when I found her website listing one for $120 for 60 minutes! Booked through the website, Paid my deposit and everything and was super excited for the experience. The description is: "Treat your back to a luxurious Back Facial that improves elasticity, hydration, and texture while stimulating collagen production for firmer, more youthful skin. With deep cleansing, exfoliation, and nourishing masks, this rejuvenating treatment revitalizes dry or uneven skin on your back, leaving it smoother and brighter." Got the confirmation text and email and confirmed everything. When I got there, Jenny very kindly informed me that she actually no longer does the back facials, she only does face facials now. I was definitely disappointed, but I had already driven there and had the day off, so I opted for the 10 step Korean facial instead ($199 before tip). She said that she was currently doing an offer for $199 instead of $300+, so I figured why not. This one is 90 minutes instead of 60 minutes. If it's your first time coming, I would recommend getting there 5 mins ish before your appointment so you can park and find the entrance to her room - there's a lot of other businesses here so I did have to take a lap to find the right door in the hallway. Pros: The whole facial experience was actually pretty great - the whole place is clean, easy parking out front. And it's very involved, in a good way. it includes massage to the face, shoulder, neck, arms, as well as all the regular facial stuff like extractions and a mask. She also uses the Plasonic machine (which can feel hot like it's burn/zapping your skin) but you can tell her if it feels too hot and she'll change the settings. She got rid of my blackheads with an ultrasonic skin scrubber and extracted all my whiteheads. There's also red light therapy. The studio is super clean, and Jenny is super sweet and nice, definitely easy to trust the Korean lady. I definitely would not mind coming back for another facial - I left there with my skin feeling super soft, she gave me some skincare tips, and it's a great location if you live in Castro Valley or San Leandro. I would definitely recommend wearing comfortable and thinner pants, because it gets pretty hot in the room with all the treatments. My highest praise would include that the extraction part wasn't as painful as other facials I've had, and the shoulder/neck/arm massage was surprisingly really helpful in relieving some pain I had from work! Cons: - I think it was really hard for me to give a 5, since I feel like I fell for false advertising thinking I was coming for a back facial. Things worked out in the end and I was due for a facial anyway - but I would have done some things differently (like not washed my hair beforehand, since it got a lot oilier after the scalp massage) if I had known I wasn't getting the back facial. Her service is great and I would highly recommend her for facials - and it sounds like her microblading is well appreciated too - but just be aware there are NO back facials here.

Even after five years, my eyebrows had held up incredibly well and had barely faded. This time, I wanted a very natural brow color and shape, and Jenny remembered exactly what I liked. She created the most natural-looking brows, and I couldn't be happier with the result. Five years ago, I had microblading, and this time I chose the ombré technique. I absolutely love both the color and the shape. What I appreciate most about Jenny is that she takes the time to have a thorough consultation before the procedure. She listens carefully to what you want and works with you until you're completely satisfied. Her attention to detail and commitment to achieving the perfect result are truly exceptional. I rarely write reviews, but I genuinely wanted more people to know about Jenny because she truly deserves the recognition. If you're looking for beautiful, natural-looking permanent makeup, I highly recommend her!
