Kathleena is a gem! I hired her for hair and makeup on my wedding day and was so happy to find…read moresomeone who was so intuitive, skilled, and committed to using non-toxic products. I felt exactly how I wanted to feel on my special day -- confident, beautiful, and just a slightly "elevated" version of myself. Kathleena has a gifted eye for highlighting natural beauty; I never felt like my hair or makeup was hiding the real me. While preparing for my wedding, I had a few cuts and one deep conditioning with Kathleena. For my fellow introverts, you'll be happy know that Kathleena is largely silent while cutting/styling hair, as she gets into a "zone" and is fully focused on her work. While she's a delight to talk to geneally, I am grateful for a quieter hair-cutting experience -- as a highly sensitive person, I've often felt overstimulated by past salon experiencesm which tended to include lots of music and talking (sadly often in the form of gossiping or complaining). Her salon is beautiful and her products are all very natural, meaning no noxious fumes! I am happy to have found such a wonderful stylist (and human!) and look returning to Kathleena for hair and makeup services in the years to come.

I left a review on Jennifer's page mistakenly, but this review is for Kathleena.

She really brings out the best of your natural beauty in her makeup, and she can do such a wide variety of hairstyles well. My hair and makeup held up all night. Beyond that, Kary and her assistant were extremely caring and professional. Somehow I managed to give them the wrong address, but they figured out the right address and still arrived early. They also went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and relaxed on my wedding day. I highly recommend Kary!

My inspo also changed a lot from the trial to the wedding day, and she handled it so gracefully. The way she does skin is so dropdead gorgeous. I wanted you-but-better, flushed, fresh, dewy. She delivered on all aspects. She made me feel so beautiful, and the full-day service was absolutely worth it. I really appreciated the little videos she took throughout the day, and she took care of things I didn't think of-like holding my veil off my lipstick until it was Go Time, carrying my dress train on the long march to the ceremony area, assisting with photo posing (things like throwing the veil onto me). I highly recommend her services! Eugene was very responsive with scheduling and made everything easy!

Rockridge, North Oakland

She was late to the bridal makeup trial. She didn't call to inform me she was late until after the…read morescheduled time. When I said more heads up would be nice this escalated to an argument. She explained because it's not her space she would need also additional time to setup. This didn't include sweeping up or moving the hair on the floor. Sure it's not her space but she didn't acknowledge it in anyway. She didn't even have me saved as the right client leading to confusion on both ends Extremely condescending and rude. I am 5'10 she informed me because my legs were long it was making her job challenging. She told me the dark circles under my eyes were very noticeable and hard to hide. She got makeup in both of my eyes and informed me because I don't regularly wear makeup this was because of my eyes Despite this I was willing to go with her. However I didn't get back to her within 48 hours. Stated no where. And she never followed up with me leading to last minute confusion on my end assuming having already paid her for a trial would encourage some professionalism in a courtesy follow up. Wedding planning is stressful! Additionally in our last conversation after she informed me she likely couldn't do the makeup. She asked where I was planning on getting ready for my wedding. I told her the salon. She then went on to disparage their space as it doesn't even have the table space she would need to do her work. I thankfully was able to find a nicer and actually warm artist and had an amazing wedding.

My experience was extremely disappointing. I filled out her online form, which didn't have fields…read morefor the date or time of my request. When I followed up with a polite inquiry about scheduling before sunrise due to a photoshoot, she responded in an incredibly rude and condescending manner. I felt like my simple request was treated as an inconvenience. If this is how she communicates during the inquiry process, I can't imagine how difficult it would be to actually work with her. Truly one of the worst customer service interactions I've had.

I have now ordered it a couple times, and it's never a fail. I can't wait to try some of their other products and services - and will definitely come back. The vibe is very clean and crisp, and there are several treatments room throughout. Also, the reception area is spacious.

I booked a 45-min back treatment with Shannon, and the experience could not be even more perfect…read more The spa/clinic was light-filled with minimal aesthetics. Luckily their location was not terrible to find, as there was ample street parking. When I walked in, the warm and friendly receptionist greeted and made me feel right at home. Throughout my visit, Shannon shared me with her wealth of knowledge of the various AHAs as well as retinoid products. I love that we were able to geek out on which products to use to achieve brightening effects. She also made some recommendations based on my skin type such as mandelic acid instead of glycolic acid for gentle exfoliation. Without trying to oversell me her products, she suggested that I try over-the-counter Nizoral antifungal wash for possible white-heads that pop up occasionally as well as prescription tretinoin since I had a few hyperpigmented spots that I wanted to fade/brighten. Given it was my first time there, she did allow me to use my credit card to pay but informed me that she only accepted cash or checks to help keep operating costs down. Since my back issues were minor based on her assessment, I did not schedule a return visit. I so very much appreciate her sound and scientifically backed advice (I also follow various certified dermatologists on IG for general aging skin care maintenance); I definitely will be making a visit if future skin issues arrive!
