Let me preface this by saying that I called 45 minutes before they closed and they still took me…read morewhen I arrived just about 20 minutes before closing, which I appreciated very much.... They offer a free first service, and I got 2 services so this was a nice touch. All of the staff I encountered were pleasant and professional and I was out in about 10 minutes! While I was there the member performing my services (eyebrows and lip) showed me how they looked and I was very pleased. She cleaned up my eyebrows very nicely but didn't shape them very much, which didn't bother me as I was just looking for them to be straightened out. --Side note: the wax they use was very gentle, no paper glued to your face, just pulling off hot wax which was a very nice change.-- My only complaint comes now that I took a better look at home. My eyebrows are definitely cleaned up but they are some stragglers that I'll have to pluck, and although the wax was gentle it didn't seem to really pull all the hairs completely, I can tell I'll need a wax again very soon unfortunately. Overall I would recommend this place if you're in a time pinch like I was. The experience was pretty good and the service was speedy and professional. **I would've liked to give 3.5 stars but Yelp doesn't allow it, but they definitely deserve more of a 4 than a 3**

What should have been a 15 minute service, took 30 and was of incredibly poor quality. When I…read morearrived, I was asked if would be open to getting a free wax (it seemed as if the water was just finishing training or just finished training) and I agreed to this. I understand that training services aren't just that, but there's also a certain expectation of quality. I had a Brazilian that left a lot of hair behind and the waxer pinched me a number of times trying to get the wax strips off. As I was under a time constraint and had planned for a 15 minute service, I had to stop her after 30 minutes and leave without a complete wax. She was very nice, but the service was incredibly disappointing and left me frustrated

I also have blond, barely-there and thinning eyebrows and although I was extremely nervous, she gave me great brows - exactly how I personally wanted them - Not too angular and extreme.

I scheduled meeting Mary for a consult several months ago. I just finished my 6 week touch up appointment and couldn't be happier with the results. Mary is a skilled professional, she walked me through the options available, ultimately I went with an ombré dot rather than line microblading look, which was more in line with what I wanted as an end result. She checked with me for shape and color, it was a collaboration and very reassuring. Measurements were carefully taken and a good amount of time getting numb and check ins to make sure I remained numb for my comfort were appreciated. I loved the results so much I went back for a brow tint a few weeks later and now have become a lash client. I highly recommend the salon to all of my friends & family. This is where you want to go for expert, professional work.

I've gone to many nail salons in California and I haven't encounter a technician whose as good as Shannon. She's very good with different types of nails, ANC, gel, regular polish, you name it she can do it. She's also very creative w nail art designs and give recommendations to nail colors for designs. I did both mani and pedi. Both regular polish. It took about 1.5hrs. Shannon was very thorough with the French mani w a twist design, she freehanded the nail tip which was impressive!! Shannon also does lashes, facials, waxing, bridal makeup, etc. I'm going back to her for a lash lift before I travel back home.

She wraps it around her neck instead. She offers other services as well (waxing is with a roller not with popsicle sticks). But have only gotten my eyebrows threaded with her. I just want to add that I'm a bit obnoxious and picky about places that I go to, but Reema is truly great. She is the owner and the ONLY one there so you know you'll always get a great job done.

I have recently got my nails done at your salon and I'm more than pleased with my results! They make your nails look very natural and not fake like other nail places. Also the costumer service is phenomenal and they greet you every time you walk in. The place is very cute and makes you feel at home. This is my absolute favorite place to get my nails done.
