I have used numerous brow artists in the past, but none compare to the level of skill and precision that Sonia possesses. Not only is Sonia incredibly talented, but she is also professional and fun to be around. Her studio is so cute and clean. I have never had to worry about last-minute cancellations or less then perfect results. She takes immense pride in her work and goes above and beyond to exceed expectations. She's amazing at lash tints, brow laminating, lip blushing and micro blading too. I cannot recommend Sonia enough. If you are in Santa Cruz county and looking for a brow artist who will transform your brows into a work of art, look no further. Trust me, once you experience bare brows you will never want to go to anyone else. Thank you, Sonia, for giving me the best natural lashes & brows !

Highly recommend Sonia for your lash tint and lift. I was in town for my wedding and booked an…read moreappointment with her. On the day of the appointment, there was a fallen tree and power line, and PG&E closed the street, blocking anyone from entering on foot or by car. Sonia knew that my appointment was for my wedding, and she diligently checked in all day to see when she could access her salon. She was finally able to get to the salon that evening, and generously offered to bring her equipment to the home I was staying in to do my lashes right away. I was very impressed by her dedication. As far as the quality of the work: I have straight, blonde lashes and Sonia lifted and tinted them perfectly. They looked great for the wedding and look just as great 10 days later. I can't wait to have Sonia do my lashes again next time I'm in Aptos.

Tiffanie scammed me!! This was the first time I've gotten eyelash extensions and she was horrible…read more I told her how I need thick, long lashes that look fake because my job requires us to. I even showed her a photo. She wasted 2 1/2 of my time accomplishing nothing. My lashes looked the exact same as they did before!! And she charged me $100 for it!! If she couldn't do the lashes I asked for, she should have told me. Plus the few lashes she put on, all fell out the next morning. She did not tell me how to clean them or give me anything to clean them with. She did not tell me how long I should wait to get them wet or anything. I had to walk back into her place to ask her if she could give me an eyelash brush because I had remembered my friends using brushes to brush out their lashes that they got done at a different place. I'm pretty sure this isn't a certified business. Her place is a small, hidden suite in the middle of therapy businesses. The only way I'm going back to that horrible place is to go to the suites next to it and get therapy for what she's done to me. I'm currently crying, $100 is a lot for me, I'm a broke college student and I let her know that. I asked for a refund and she said no. Even though I would let her take them off of me, she still would not refund me. Instead, she texted me about how I wasted her time when she wasted my time!! And my money!! BEWARE OF THIS PLACE!! I WOULD GIVE NEGATIVE STARS IF I COULD!!!!
