As a long term high-end cosmetic & skin care junkie, I was brainwashed into believing that somehow cost equated quality. The truth was I was ending up with mostly products heavy in fragrance wrapped in super expensive fancy packaging, that only ended up breaking me out. Well, I'm hear to say, I'm a changed woman. Youtube.com and Makeupalley.com raved about HD foundations such as Graftobian and celebrity tried and true skin-care by Natural Born Cosmetics are available to you, and aspiring MUA's everywhere, (most items) at fraction of the cost of department store products! The customer service is AMAZING, as Suzanne the owner is not only is a wealth of information, but she clearly has a passion for what she's doing. Additional bonus, if this woman color matches you, the color WILL be right, she is a TRUE industry professional and KNOWS what she's doing. I can't say that about MOST of my department store adventures, where I was paying 4-5 times more, only to end up with an orange face, and agitated skin. In short, go here! I'm happy I did! P.S. Don't forget to load up on Natural born cosmetics night cream to heal that dry winter skin, your skin will thank you!

It's my pampering regiment and my body is so soft after each use. My hands and feet get really dry and rough and it's even worst in the winter. However, I really feel the difference when I use the body polish and compliment it with the body balm. Aside from the products, I like that the company is a social enterprise. Knowing that my purchase goes towards helping a community of women entrepreneurs is a bonus and guilt free reason to splurge. The founder Rahama completes the package; she's humble and uplifts everyone around her. I am glad that the company is within reach so that I can test products in person at their shop on H St. If you haven't been- go, it's a beautiful space and sometimes other businesses hosts pop-ups there.

Lisa is phenomenal! I have been going to her every other month for her signature Guru Glow…read moretreatment and my skin looks better than ever. She is incredibly knowledgeable and a pro at her craft; in my first appointment she was able to explain my skin type to me and what types of products are best for it, and she was spot on! Her facial service doesn't skimp on anything - steam, extractions, masks, incredible facial massage (my fave part - you leave looking contoured), a comfy heated table/bed and relaxing spa music all included. Her studio in Georgetown is impeccably decorated and in a great location right by the Four Seasons on M Street. Lisa herself is a lovely person and I always enjoy chatting with her during my appointments (though if you prefer to relax in silence she won't press you). Next I think I am going to try her Yumi Lash Lift & tint! Highly recommend. :)

Lisa is the true definition of a guru, during my facial she was able to educate me on my skin type and ways to prevent aging while providing me with outstanding service.

My favorite part of the facial was all of the facial massage that left me feeling detoxed and more youthful. I highly recommend The Beauty Guru's By Lisa!

The owner and Master Esthetician Christina is an amazing lady who takes pride in her work! I love that she is thoughtful and explains the process before she continues with each service. Christina has so much experience and knowledge in this field that I trust her recommendations and judgments during my services. It was also seamless using the Vagaro app to book appointments with Christina and email/text updates to prepare for the appointment! Located in the Capitol Hill area of DC, this cute studio is on the Lower Level Pennsylvania Ave building. It can be a lite tricky to access and Christina provides thorough information with pictures to enter her studio. The studio is decorated with white/gold accents and displays the niche products she uses for her services. Services: -Brow Lamination/Sculpt/Tint: this was my first time getting my eyebrows laminated, sculpted, and tinted. I was a little nervous about my appointment and Christina made my experience comfortable. For any new clients you have to fill out paperwork and then there is a quick consult where Christina asks for your preference and expectations. Then you walk into the studio room where you lay on the spa table. The pillows for my head and legs were so comfortable I wanted to fall asleep lol Christina first cleaned my brows and then mapped my brow shape from my facial structure and alignment. Christina meticulously maps out my brow shape with her ruler and sketches this out. She explained the reasons for how she shaped my brows and provides a mirror for me to confirm the shape. After she cleaned up my brows and processed/structured my brows the last step was tinting my brows. Christina gave me an ombré tint to match my hair color. I loved the look of my brows and the knowledge Christina shared with me during our sessions! She's so personable and detail oriented that made me feel so comfortable to explore more sessions like her facials the next time. In the end, I received an aftercare bag with cotton pads, spoolies, brow oil, and aftercare instructions. I cannot wait to come back for another brow session and maybe add a facial as well!

When I first entered the store, I was greeted by Marie, the store owner (I'm big on good customer service). As I was searching for what I needed, one of the employees approached me and asked if I needed assistance. She was very polite and helpful.

Several people walked in while we were there, but all the appointments were booked. The woman assisting us, Jasmine was wonderful!!!! Incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and kind. Her ability to color match was beyond impressive! I brought a discounted color from another makeup brand I use and she matched it perfectly! That's another recommendation, if you have a color that you want replicated, bring it with you. Or if you've seen a color that you like, even if it's not a lipstick color, bring a picture of it with you. They'll be able to color match it for you. Jasmine also educated us at each step in the process, and answered our many questions. We were locked in while she was making our colors, so we forgot to take pictures of each step, but it's an interesting process. The lab is very chic and colorful! It's great for birthday parties and any celebration with friends. The final product of lipstick I took home feels smooth and hydrating on my lips. However, the wear doesn't last long and it's not as pigmented as I'd like. It requires several applications to get a pigmented finish. I wear frequently wear lipstick, so my standards for pigmentation and longevity are high. Maybe the other products are better, I just didn't get the chance to try.
