She is not only board-certified and highly skilled, but also incredibly gentle and professional. Her workspace is immaculate--completely aseptic--and the entire procedure was painless. I felt so relaxed in her dental chair that I actually fell asleep! That's how comfortable and confident I felt in her care. If you're looking for someone you can truly trust with permanent cosmetics, I highly recommend Dr. Reed. She is a true artist and perfectionist, and I am beyond thrilled with my brows!

I consider myself to be better than most at applying my own makeup, doing my own hair, etc., by no…read moremeans am I a professional, nor am I good at doing it to other people, however, beauty and makeup is something that has always interested me and I enjoy doing. That being said, I've been getting my eyebrows waxed for years. I've been all over Anchorage in search of the perfectly arched brow. Not too thin, not too thick. I've had some places that were ok at it. Some, even great at it. However, inevitably the brow starts to become thinner and thinner, or, you get your skin waxed off of your ultra sensitive upper eye lid. (Yes, that happened to me. In Anchorage. Ouch.) That's all different now because I've FINALLY gotten an esthetician who KNOWS her stuff. Not only has this girl gotten her education at a prestigious cosmetology school in the states, but SHE is beautiful herself. Look no further than her brows to see an example of her fabulous work. Diana Dean owns Brow Luau, a cute little beach inspired brow bar located in South Anchorage a little upwards from the Dimond Center mall. No dealing with downtown parking, Diana has super flexible availability, and offers super easy booking online, one of my favorite features. The bar itself is inside Lux - a makeup/beauty/skincare boutique. It is very clean, modern, and decorated like a beach - inspired from the year Diana spent doing brows in Waikiki. This girl KNOWS her stuff. Like knows it. Look no further than my before and after pics below, done yesterday, 06/19/15 before date night with my boyfriend. Thank you for your eye for perfection, Diana.

Also really appreciate how easy she is to talk to and did I mention she uses a prescription strength numbing cream so you feel literally nothing. I'll definitely be going back to her for all of my touch ups. Only complaint is the salon is an open concept so no individual treatment rooms. I ended up having to listen to the most annoying woman complain about her adult kids for most of my appointment.

I had my hair cut by Savannah. What a whack job. She took chunks out of my hair, and had no clue…read morehow to cut thick hair, and instead she just hacked out of my hair. I had waited five months to have my hair cut, because of a previous bad hair cut, only to let it grow out and let this 'stylist' cut my hair so unevenly. I went back to get it remedied by the owner who did the best she could, but even she couldn't salvage the awful gap Savannah left me with. Furthermore, to add insult to injury, I wasn't even issued a refund, so basically, I had my hair cut by someone I wouldn't even let groom my pet, had I known the results, but I also paid for the privilege of letting this amateur cut my hair. I will now have to wait another five months, to go to a genuine stylist.

I'm…read morealways trying to find a place that gives the right service for the right perm curl, for the right price. I am pretty sure this is a pretty secure place to have your right perm done!!! I'm very pleased by my service there! Can I also share something very sweet? This place is run by a fun lady named Gina Panda (that's her last name! And her two daughters work there. Hence the place is called Pandamania for the family name) She is a very generous lady who cares for her clients, and helped me- a stranger out- and found out I was hungry. She generously went to grab a bite to eat for me, and I was very touched by her kind gesture! I guess the only reason why I put a 4 star review was only because of language, but who am I to judge? Their love and fun spirited atmosphere makes it all worth while!
