Kristina at Gentle Studio is a gem in LA. I had lashes, brow lamination and tint done and extremely happy with the quality of her work. read more

Kristina is an artist. I am absolutely obsessed with my eyebrows and receive compliments regularly. Before visiting Kristina, I had waited 8 months to grow out my eyebrows after others had over waxed them. Kristina meticulously shaped my eyebrows to fit my face, with tweezers alone. My eyebrows have never looked better. Book your appointment, Kristina will handle the rest! I trust her with all of my esthetic procedures. read more

So happy that I have discovered this little studio. Kristina is amazing. Have been seeing her for lash extensions and brow sugaring, tint and lamination for about half a year and have been obsessed! Brows - perfect shape and color every time. Lashes - have never had extensions that look so great and last for such a long time. Kristina also have some fun ones whenever you would want to experiment and add a touch of color or glitter. read more

First things first...I love my eyelashes! I got a classic full set and Kristina was amazing and very professional. She walked me through the process and really spent time making sure she knew exactly what I wanted. Next, she began a very thorough process washing my eyelashes before preparing to perform the extensions. She walked me through each step as she went along. The studio was quiet, cozy and well appointed. I felt comfortable throughout the appointment and was more than satisfied with the results. I am now 7 days past my appointment and have barely lost any eyelashes. They still look really full and I am definitely planning on returning. I highly recommend Kristina for lashes! read more

My overall experience with her had been amazing and highly recommend her for any services! read more

The only place I'll ever go to for my brows! I did the lamination/tint/sugar for my brows and was so nervous trying out a new person. Kristina provided so much education on aftercare, upkeep, etc. This isnt one of those studios that try to milk you for your money, my services and recommendations genuinely felt like it was recommended in my best interest and not just to play around and add a service. I love her philosophy, everyone's service will be a little different because each persons face and bone structure is so unique so she really works with what you have and tailors yours brows to your features! I had an event the next day and I put so much less makeup and time into my face because I felt like my brows really set the tone for my face that it didn't need much! Ultimately that's the goal is to come out feeling confident and to be educated on how to upkeep the services we invest in! I came in with some overplucked brows on one side and she educated me that our long term goal is to grow those patches out and shape them the way they're meant to be. I was super scared about the tint being so much and requested really natural shade and I'm so happy with the results! Nothing felt too much lamination/tint wise! read more

Kristina is very kind, thoughtful, and "gentle" - as the name of her studio suggests! She is conscientious in how she interacts with you as her client, and also in how she executes her work. She is very detail-oriented and is always checking in to see if you're comfortable during the lash application... except of course if you fall asleep during the procedure because of how relaxing of the environment you're in. I highly recommend her for eyelash application and sugaring. She is very knowledgeable in that area as well. read more

Kristina is absolutely fantastic with lashes. I have tried several different places and her technique is by far the best. Instead of doing refills, she removes and re-does the entire set every time and they last a really long time!! I go there about every 5 weeks or so. She is gentle and very considerate. My eyes are super sensitive and always have been, but every time I go, she thinks about what can be even better (like offering to get a special shampoo for sensitive eyes, offering to buy a specific kind of lashes to try a new look I was curious about). The result is always amazing! And of course I chose Kristina to do my lashes before my wedding and I couldn't have been happier. It was a beautiful and natural look. I typically do a classic set with a cat eye effect on the sides. Anyway, 5 stars! read more
