It's really a special treat to see beautiful arts hanging on the wall of a local Bamboo Hair + Body. The location is convenient, right off Main Street of down town Half Moon Bay. I love the vibrant colors of her paintings. My photos do not reflect how unbelievable her creativity and her color work of her arts. I highly recommend to come and see her paintings with your own eyes. I appreciate her nature capture in still arts. I feel happy and inspired looking at her beautiful bright colorful paintings. Her creation is unique, special and rare! Her arts, especially those with the hummingbirds inspire me to love, to hope, and to be happy and creative. Her acrylic paintings on canvas, and Fence Chunks from recycled wood, which hang on walls, fences, gates and decks are marvelous!

I got a haircut here when I first moved to the coast. My experience was great, the lady that gave…read moreme a haircut was very nice and knowledgeable. She washed my hair, cut and gave me a blowout. It was a simple hair cut for about $120 which is pricey but it's the coast so it is what it is. I don't see the lady working there anymore so I'm not sure if I'd come back. The vibe is okay, it's quiet and there's parking right in front.

From the…read moremoment I walked in, the space felt clean, private, and calm -- which matters a LOT for a service like this. Wendy is the kind of person who makes you feel comfortable immediately. She's warm, professional, and super efficient without ever feeling rushed. She checks in with you throughout, has a gentle technique, and you can tell she has years of experience. The Brazilian itself was way more manageable than past places I've been -- and I had minimal irritation after, which is a huge win for my sensitive skin. Also: she's thorough. Like... she cares about the details and it shows. I left feeling smooth, clean, and genuinely taken care of (not like I was just another appointment being pushed through). If you're new to waxing, nervous, or picky about who you trust -- book Wendy. This is 100% my new go-to spot.

But we would never get to the mani/pedi, we wouldn't even get to the end of the haircut. While Tiffany was cutting my hair I noticed she had cut a layer on one side of my hair about 2 fingers shorter than the other. I simply asked if she could even it out. She became immediately incensed. She thrust the scissors towards me and told me to cut it myself. I have never been treated so brashly it was shocking. I am NOT a rude person and have worked in the service industry myself and I can definitely appreciate that the public can be difficult so I strive to treat service workers with respect. I thought maybe she was having a bad day and gave her the benefit of the doubt but my attempts to placate her were ignored and she curtly informed me she never wanted to cut my hair again. All this I could understand if I yelled at her or treated her unkindly but the way she snapped so suddenly was alarming. I paid for the unfinished cut and even tipped generously to try to end the interaction with some feelings of good will but I'll never return.
