Reasonable price Been going to this salon since I moved to the Russian Hill area & it is my go to since it's so conveniently located on Polk Street! I usually just come for lash extensions - Jen is GREAT!! The team at La Boutique helped me figure out what lash style works best for me (hybrid classic doll eye)! I even brought my mother for Mother's Day to get lash extensions for the first time! She said it was a great and comfortable experience! I've had their Hydrafacial, brow lamination, and nail extension service here. Their membership is definitely worth it! read more

I made an appointment within business hours via ClassPass days in advance for a lash lift & tint. Unfortunately, when I arrived no one was there, the door was locked and the place was closed. I was looking forward to trying this place, but this felt unprofessional to me and I'm frustrated I wasted my time waiting to see if someone would show up and then trying to get a refund somehow. read more

In the past I've gotten lip waxes at nail salons, but La Boutique is a game changer! I will not be going back to a nail salon. La Boutique is clean, organized, and offers up-to-date services. I am so pleased with the lip wax too. Thanks, Josie! read more

I've been going to La Boutique Salon for the past few years and have recommended the salon to many of my friends in the area. Over the past year, I visited more frequently while preparing for my wedding, which gave me the opportunity to have many appointments with Krystle and Josie. They are both incredibly talented, professional, and genuinely kind. Every appointment was consistently excellent, and they always paid close attention to the details. I've had facials, lash lifts and tints, and tanning services with Krystle and Josie, and every experience has been wonderful. I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend La Boutique Salon to anyone looking for exceptional service. read more

I love La Boutique it's my one stop shop to go to for all my facials needs and lashes!!!! Booking is fast and easy and I love Josie she's hands on everytime !! best in the bay!! read more

A must stop at Polk street! I got my nails done and was incredibly impressed with how they turned out. They lasted over a month, and I've been getting so many compliments. I'm usually very particular when it comes to Brazilian waxing, but the staff made me feel completely comfortable and handled everything with such care and professionalism. I'll definitely be coming back! The salon is so aesthetically decorated and offers you a variety of drinks too. Overall a one stop shop for nails, facials , lashes and more read more

I've gotten two facials here and am amazed at how much value you get for the price you pay. The Lymphatic massage really depuffed my face and attention to detail is top-notch. Krystle was my facialist this last time around and she did a thorough review of my skin to assess it's needs before the facial started so that she can customize the plan for me. The microdermabrasion always makes my skin glowing afterwards. read more

Amazing experience in the cutest shop in Russian hill. This is a one stop shop for all your beauty needs. I went in to try their new nail bar, and they did not disappoint!

La Boutique - Gelx cat eye pink! - Hair Removal Near Me - San Francisco, California

Please do NOT go here for lash extensions! I had my lash appt at 3:30 today and by 7pm they have ALL already fallen out on their own, my lashes are completely bare now. I paid $300. My eyes didn't react to the lashes or anything like that so they all completely fell out on their own. I asked for hybrid cat eye & showed the artist a reference picture but received Russian volume doll eye. The lashes were very heavy and the glue was on my skin. The clusters felt hard and plastic. The lash tech was really sweet but this was definitely the worst lash experience I've ever had unfortunately :( when I called they told me that refunds are against their policy. I will definitely not be going back & advise others to do the same! read more

I've been going to La Boutique for years--started with lash extensions at their original location over 8 years ago, and now I see Josie regularly for Hydrafacials. Josie is the best--super knowledgeable, never rushes, and always leaves my skin feeling refreshed and clean. She tailors each facial to whatever my skin needs that day, and I fully trust her recs. I've also seen both Jen and Josie for lashes over the years, and they're both fantastic--detail-oriented, consistent, and always make sure you leave feeling your best. The lashes last forever if you take good care of them. Whether it's skincare or lashes, La Boutique has been a staple in my routine for nearly a decade--and I don't see that changing anytime soon. read more

Went to La Boutique Salon for the first time and had a great experience. I've been dealing with acne and acne scars, so I booked an acne facial, and Josie took care of me , she was awesome. I honestly lost track of how many steps she did on my face, but she explained everything when I asked and made sure I felt comfortable the whole time. Super relaxing. She also recommended some products to help with my skin. The place is really nice inside and has a super welcoming vibe. Definitely coming back! Highly recommend if you're thinking about getting a facial. read more

As a metrosexual male I love to take care of myself and pamper myself. There's no better experience than coming in for a facial and sipping some champagne and dabbing into a charcuterie board while listening to some chill music in the background. It's not just about the services it's about the ambience and vibe. Knowledgeable friendly staff that have helped guide me on my new journey of skin restoration. Thank you Josie and the La Boutique staff for making me feel comfortable. Love that they have parking available on the street right in front as well. Very nice inviting storefront. read more

Please feel free to read my previous review and notice, Instead of offering to be helpful or provide insight over the phone. Josie T. has decided to pass blame for poor time management of her staff and working conditions onto me as a client. It seems this business owner will use any excuse to force fee payment on her customers rather than provide flexible and well managed provisions to thier staff. It is not my job as a customer to ensure the staff are treated fairly, safely, and are well compensated. I'm sorry to anyone staffed under this money grabbing individual. Please tip fairly and I would avoid this business at all costs Oh p.s. I have had 5 lash lifts starting from February 2022, a brow lamination and 3 bodysculpting sessions. Please take better effort to understand your clients. read more

La Boutique - I appreciate even further that the owner Josie is cursing in her reply. Fun stuff. - Hair Removal Near Me - San Francisco, California

I got a facial, eyelash tint and perm last week and I'm so happy with the results! My skin was so soft after my appointment!

My go to place for a Brazilian wax. Highly recommend Julianna. She did a great job and made what is usually a painful procedure very enjoyable. She was extremely knowledgeable, answered all my questions about waxing vs sugaring, and helped me to understand the pros and cons between both. I'm now a hard wax convert. The front desk associate was also super nice. Overall, this place is wonderful. I'll definitely return here the next time I need waxing services. read more

Went here for my first ever lash treatment. Did a lash lift and tint because I was looking for more of an 'I woke up like this' no makeup makeup outcome. I was really nervous going in after seeing so many horror stories of lash lifts gone wrong online, but the experience and the results were perfect. Josie walked me through everything she was doing since she knew I was new to the process, and I walked out 50 mins later with exactly what I was looking for. Added my very amateur before and after photo attempt for anyone like me who might be worried about trying it for the first time. I have super short and straight lashes naturally for reference and love the subtle but noticeable outcome read more

Front desk staff is friendly and Josie does an amazing job! I've been coming here since 2019. I can always trust that she will make my lashes look flawless and even came here prior to my wedding/honeymoon so I could get glammed up. I wear close to no makeup after lashes which makes it easy for me since I have a busy work schedule. Come here if you want to look cute! :) read more

I had extensions done by Nana and since this was only my second time ever getting them, I appreciate how patient she was with me! She gave me all options and her opinions on the best look for me and I have to say I'm extremely satisfied. Thank you for your great service!! I'm so glad I found this place. read more

Took my mom here for some pampering . Great service and super professional . Happy to drop off my mom again

LOVE LOVE my lashes by Josie!! Working full-time again, these lashes are literally giving me life & saving me so much time (basically just moisturize, brush my lashes and I'm ready to start my day)! Thank you Josie for giving me full, fluffy, and voluminous lashes! Super friendly, quality service + accommodating & very efficient. She makes sure you're comfortable (so comfortable, I even got a nap in while she worked her magic). If you're unsure of what you want, ask and she'll give recommendation based on your lashes and the look you're trying to achieve. You get what you pay for and she's so worth it...take care of your lashes and it'll take care of you (keep them cleaned/brushed and they'll last awhile but as an ongoing maintenance, make sure to schedule fills so your eye bash is always on point). For anyone in the SF area, I highly recommend going to Josie! read more

La Boutique - That fluff & volume! - Hair Removal Near Me - San Francisco, California

Buckle up. I've been getting my brows and lashes tinted here for almost a year. Today I goofed and went in for an appointment that was actually for tomorrow. They were kind enough to get me in last minute. All good until after a few minutes of waiting on the dye, the skin around my eyes started to burn. My poor esthetician could not get it off my eyes fast enough as it kept getting worse while she explained they changed the dye they were using recently enough that it was different from the dye I've used every other time. When we finally got it off and it stopped burning enough to open my eyes she stepped outside to talk to her boss (clearly the only other person in the building) When my esthetician returned I asked to know what the dye was so it doesn't happen again. She said ROGAINE. They were putting drug store dyes on my eyelids with no notice of the switch or patch test. I was ready to laugh it off, expecting her boss to apologize and offer to comp the lash tint (brows look fine though darker than I like because we were busy getting rogaine out of my eye) Instead, at checkout her boss asked me "how did it go?" Uhmm, bad? My eyes are burning. She offered five off and I tipped and paid and walked away only to double take back. Did she really just charge me for burning my eyes with rogaine and ask how it went? I went back in to confirm she wasn't charging me for the lash tint. She said she'd refund it but hasn't yet. If it had just been the rogaine and the owner had been immediately apologetic, I would not be quite as upset. But charging someone to put drug store dyes on a notoriously sensitive piece of skin and then acting so glib about it? Scummy. Edit to address some lies from the owner: Not in my decade on Yelp have I written a one star review, that honor is reserved for Josie. And while I was trying not to throw Julianna, her tech, under the bus I will say: yesterday she asked me if I ever got my brows dyed before. Yes! By her! Twice in the last 6 months. Perhaps there would be more customer recognition if the turnover wasn't so high, but now we know why that is. I was a repeat customer because it was convenient not because of any outstanding service. I have not changed anything about my routine since my last appointment 6 weeks ago so there was no need to inform my esthetician. However, it is important that you inform customers of changes to your products as well. After asking multiple times for the name of the new product julianna told me it was "rogaine facial dye" a beard dye that can be purchased at the drugstore. I am aware of what original rogaine does! Thank you for that. Julianna left the room to speak to you for a good 5 minutes after confirming what was burning (the skin around my eyes where the dye was) so I'm not buying that you didn't know what had happened in there. I also shouldn't have had to ask for a refund. You shouldn't charge people to burn their eyes with drug store dye when you never informed them of the switch, that's on you. I had to double back because I was shocked the "discount" was just 20% off the lash tint and not taking the lash tint off the bill the same way she had to take it off my face when I told her my eyes were burning. You tried to cut costs and it backfired quickly and rather than being remorseful you are lying, victim blaming and gaslighting. Yikes. Edit edit: owner removed the comment I was responding to here but hopefully you can see why. read more

I've been going to Josie and La Boutique for over two years and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She works with you to figure out what look you're trying to achieve and makes sure you're happy and comfortable with the results! I generally get Hybrid Lashes as I like a more natural every day look, but she's also always willing to pivot and add just a smidge more glam for any event (without it being over-the-top for my face and features)! She was closed during the pandemic, but is in process of re-opening. You can book online via their website or easily text her to make an appointment / changes to your schedule. read more

First time coming here, and it was such an amazing experience. Josie is very personal and knowledgeable. She first asked me what kind of style I was looking for, and honestly I am new to the lash world, and it was nice of her to hold my hand and educate me through it. She recommended the hybrid and I love it! Use to go to lash lab on union st and I am never looking back, Josie got me hooked! I recommend it! booking is flexible, and price is decent. You won't regret it. Thank you Josie! read more

La Boutique - Hair Removal Near Me - San Francisco, California

From speaking engagements, honoree at gala event to weddings and leadership summits, my appreciation for the simplicity and je ne sais quoi of what lashes can do to a blank canvas is speechless. Born and raised in the Bay Area, you don't meet many local business owners that can make a difference in their neighborhood but Josie has done so with Lash Boutique San Francisco. I have been coming here a little over half a year and my experience has been nothing but awe-inspired. I recently got the pleasure of meeting another lash artist, Angie due to a last minute change of myself, since I'm a nerd and can't get my life together! Anyways, Angie has honestly THE lightest feather-like touch you can't even feel, with every gentle impression applying each lash to both eyes, I knew I was in great hands! The ambiance was calm and I only knew when our session was coming to an end was with the switch of the ring light shutting off, as she smoothly removed any tape residue, with a breeze of the misting fan. Angie has a beautiful energy and such a chill vibe, I'm so glad I can have more than one lash artist at Lash Boutique San Francisco. Definitely not a place to pass up! read more

I used to go to Angie (Josie too) but she's no longer here so I've been going to Josie. Her lashes are great and she's always been accommodating and would make sure my lashes are how I like. The only issue I've been having as of super recently is the lack of communication and scheduling. I booked out my appointment a month ago. On the morning of my appointment I woke up to a text as I was getting ready to head over, to be informed that Josie is out of town even though I received an email confirmation earlier that week. After some discussion they put me in with Jessica. I figured I'd give it a shot since I scheduled this appointment specifically for a day that's coming up, to leave with regret. I'm hoping things like this do not continue to happen and there will be better communication in the future as well. read more

K: "Sorry, but this is our last appointment." Me: "Wait, whaaaat?" Me: "Oh nooooo, what did I do?!?" Me: "Noooooo, don't gooooooooooo!" *UGLY KIM K CRIES* When my last lash artist told me that it was our last appointment because she was going on leave, it felt like being dumped. I was beyond bummed because it's hard to find a trusted lash artist that's skilled and doesn't charge mad bank. Plus, you only get one set of eyes and I've heard of horror stories of lash extensions gone wrong - eye infections or what about the poor lady who had her eyes glued shut because the [untrained] salon staff used super glue! Just don't walk into any sketchy nail salon that advertises cheap lash extensions. Please do your research, people. I found Lash Boutique on Yelp and messaged the owner, Josie with questions about her training and experience. She was quick to respond, stating that she has 7 years of experience and has two certifications for Russian volume technique. Along with the solid 5 star reviews, I felt confident to book an appointment with her. So far, I've visited Josie 5 times for the So Glamourous Fill ($95). * Josie is friendly, super responsive, prompt, accommodating, efficient, and very skilled. * I love my results! Josie is able to give me that voluminous look without looking like a drag queen or having a tarantula crawling out of my eyes. * Good lash retention - my lashes can last for up to 3 weeks before needing a fill. I sometimes get them filled every 2 weeks because I'm anal about tiny gaps. * VERY reasonable prices for SF! I searched through 20+ listings in SF and you won't find competitive pricing like this. Depending on how much volume you want, Fills: $75-$95, Full set: $175-$195. * Cute, modern, and clean boutique with complimentary fruit infused water and wine. * If you have some anxiety about getting your lashes done for the first time, there's a weighted vest thingamajig that can be placed on your chest that's very calming. * A little baggie with a spoolie and a disposable visor is provided to you to take home so you can take a shower without getting your lashes wet. * Payments accepted via Square or VenMo. No negatives other than Josie only does Russian volume. If you're looking for a more natural look, she can recommend you to another last artist at her boutique. There's a parking garage right next door which is convenient because parking in SF sucks. Eyelash extensions have become my addiction - it makes a world of a difference. It cuts down on my make-up time (no more eyeliner needed) and makes me look awake when I feel like death. It's like botox without the needle! I can't recommend it enough (if you're a virgin, bring some inspiration pictures with you). If you're curious about eyelash extension and don't want to break the bank, give Lash Boutique a try! read more

I must say, I went in to la boutique with the intent of buying a gift card for my wife, and ended up getting my brows waxed, chest wax, and a facial. I love the ambiance of the place. The owner, Josie, was soo sweet and helpful. The front desk staff was very nice and informative And the esthetician that did my treatments was very pleasant as well. I believe her name was Julianna. They all had such such great attitudes and were very professional. THANK YOU JOSIE, JULIANNA AND STAFF!! read more

Josie is a delight! She's super gentle and soothing. I contacted her because I wanted to get my lashes done before my vacation in south east Asia and she was so quick to accommodate.

I got a lash lift + tint done and was absolutely appalled by how it turned out. It was way too over processed, unevenly distributed, lashes were curled way to back on my eyelids, and super frizzy. I was too shy to say anything in the moment because I was just in shock with how they looked. I also thought I could fix them a bit in the car and the women who did it was very sweet, I didn't want to hurt her feelings at the moment. I called the salon 20 min after and told them how I felt in a very kind matter. I also sent them pictures of how they looked currently, and another older picture of a correct lash lift I got at a different salon. I asked them how to fix it/make it less curly and they told me to wait an hour and use a que tip and a clean spooli to fix it. This already was unacceptable because when you walk out of a salon, you should be satisfied with your services. After the 1 hour period and me attempting to fix it, they still didn't look good! So i called the lady and said that I have to wash my face to remove the perm, i can not go out with this. I also asked for at least a partial refund since I paid 140 (plus tip) for this, and they looked like a 15$ lash lift. A full refund should have been issued but I was trying to be nice. This is the part that is frustrating and super unprofessional. The front desk lady, Maria or Marina, told me that she will talk to her supervisor regarding the refund in the next hour after the supervisor is finished with a service. After an hour, I text her and ask if she has spoken with the supervisor. She said that she will let me know once the supervisor is out of service. After another hour, its 7:30 and they close at 8:00 and I still have yet no response. I message them a couple of times, and no response. I called them after they closed, no response. I called them the next day and left a voicemail, no response. They ghosted me that evening with no communication about the situation. I now have to pay additional money to get it fixed somewhere else. The only nice lady is the one who did my eyelashes but they were just way too over-processed. Update: They issued the refund. I changed my rating because they ended up responding and issuing it the next day. read more

I was looking for a place to try out lash extensions for a special occasion and saw the $100 special here, so I made an appt. My appt ended up being with Josie (not Alex) so the cost was double - first bummer of the visit. Then, Josie recommended hybrid based on what I described I wanted. Once we started, Josie changed her mind and said she thought I should just do classic. I trusted her judgement and went along with it. She worked really quickly - it took less than an hour start to finish. And the results... were really disappointing. I felt I looked the same with classic extensions as I did wearing subpar mascara. Maybe not even that good. They were super super curly and the shape was not flattering on me. Josie could tell I was disappointed in the results immediately and offered to do a hybrid the next day but ain't nobody got time for that. (Giving her 2 stars instead of 1 because I think she means well.) Also they all came out in less than 2 weeks of wear. Whomp whomp. read more

I've always wanted to get my eyelashes done but was always intimidated to do so. I finally caved in and went to go see Alex! So obsessed with how it turned out. She is absolutely the best!

I have tried a few lash places in the city and have been coming back to Josie! She really takes the time to understand her clients needs, has great technique and prices are also reasonable. Scheduling is very easy and flexible too. The first time I came, I told her I wanted to try volume lashes but it turns out my eyes couldn't handle them (allergies and all) and they weren't great for my conservative workplace, so she helped me remove them and gave me a free more natural set at no charge (such great customer service)! I am so happy I found Josie! read more

Love La Boutique Salon! I love getting their brow tint, wax and lamination. I definitely recommend coming here for that especially if you live in Russian hill/ Nob hill area.

Had a great experience at La Boutique! It was really easy to book and I really like the fact that everything was user friendly. I saw Julianna and she was great. I got the Customized Facial and it was relaxing and effective. Without me even mentioning it, she recognized that I had very sensitive skin that is particularly sensitive to friction or physical exfoliants. She used products on my face that were not harsh or abrasive. The extractions were effective and my skin was prepped well by something she used that helped soften my skin. Extractions hurt as always, but these extractions weren't as painful as some I've had before. The end was my favorite, as Julianna applied a very soothing mask and I was able to really relax and "nap" in the room for about 15-20 minutes. I loved that! read more

I met Josie through some mutual friends and I love how she fits me into her schedule last minute unlike many other lash artists I've been too where it would take months to book in advance. My career is very demanding so I really appreciate her flexibility. She is precise and works quickly without being sloppy. My fill has lasted me over 3 weeks! she is very accommodating and will customize lashes to your desired look! Definitely give her a try, you won't be disappointed :) read more
