If you're contemplating booking a facial with Heather Johnson Studios in Emeryville, don't…read morehesitate. Treat yourself to an exceptional self-love facial experience. Heather's facials are renowned for their effectiveness in treating acne scars and pigmentation. I've struggled with acne throughout my life, and as I age, my face requires more attention to address these issues. After just one visit to Heather's studio, my skin looked remarkably improved. I've had the pleasure of experiencing two amazing facials, and during each session, Heather goes above and beyond to pamper your neck, shoulders, and décolletage. She applies peels, scrubs, and a variety of nourishing products to your face, massaging and cleansing your chest, neck, and the entire area. One of the standout features of Heather's facials is her genuine knowledge and passion for skincare. She genuinely loves what she does and infuses each treatment with love and care. I feel well-cared for after her facials, and she's always willing to offer advice on how to address specific skin concerns or areas you want to improve. Heather's facials are a self-care treat for yourself. I leave her studio with my face fully extracted, cleaned, and glowing from the treatments I receive. I've also tried her Hydro facial platinum facial, which includes a relaxing session under the LED light. The LED light is particularly beneficial for brightening your face, making it an excellent choice for those with upcoming weddings or special occasions. I highly recommend getting this type of facial before an event to achieve radiant, glowing skin. Heather is an incredible small business owner who's a true girl's girl. She's passionate about sharing skincare products for the face, body, and home. I can't say enough positive things about her, and if you're serious about improving your skin or looking to treat someone to a luxurious facial and self-care experience, I highly recommend giving Heather Johnson Studios a try. Heather's studio is located in a hair salon and when you arrive you need to push the doorbell to alert her that you're there and make your way to the stairway and she will let you in to her studio. Located on 65th St. there's usually parking that is free outside of her studio and that's always a plus to not have to worry about parking in a safe neighborhood.

I have nothing but great things to say about Lien and her work…read more First of all, If you want to wake up looking like a natural beauty queen and get lashed-up by an experienced licensed cosomotologists, then Lien is your go to lash artist! She is passionate about her work and knows what she's doing, plus her spot is super clean. She keeps up with the latest trends and always try her best to achieve your desired look. (Please keep in mind, your desired look depends on how your natural lashes are as well. Not all natural lashes are made equally) Lien is also a super sweet and easy going person. Whether you want to come in to take a nap or vent about your day, she will respect your decision. She's very relatable and can get a good conversation going on, but if you opt to take a beauty nap, her gentleness with her hands will not wake you up while she works her magic to beautify you. I highly recommend that you give her a try if you want have nice, long lasting lashes for an affordable price!! Trust me, you won't regret it. I would say the many referrals I sent her would say the same. Lien is talented and amazing. She will never let you leave without a smiley face. I've been getting my lashes by her the past 3 years and I don't know if I can go anywhere else to get great service plus reasonable rates. Notes: My lashes hold up well. I don't usually go in for refills until close to 3 weeks (my lashes are not full after 3 weeks but there are still enough lashes left for me to apply mascara to help give them volume and they still look decent). I only do this when I don't have no time to schedule a refill due to my work schedule....but overall after 2 weeks my lashes always look good as you can see in the pictures I posted below.

Absolutely love my lashes! Lien will customize your lashes to your liking. Upon meeting Lien for…read morethe first time several years ago, she explained to me the different types of curls, length, and thickness. I told her I wanted a fuller volume look and a more dramatic look. She showed me options of what it would look like and I fell in love! Lien can do different styles and she is flexible to what the client wants. In addition, she uses high quality products from the US, not cheap materials from outside of the country. Her technique is impeccable and she constantly takes different classes to improve upon her skills. The customer service is excellent here and I would highly recommend anyone who is trying eyelash extensions for the first time, or someone looking to change technicians to give Lien a try! You won't be disappointed! Worth every penny!

I can not say enough good things about EVERYONE at Artful…read more I've been coming to see Irina since she was a 1 woman, one treatment room practice. I've been hooked ever since. Whether, it's injectables, lasers, facial's you name it I've had them all done at Artful. Let's face it, (haha), we care about how we look and expect results, Artful has always delivered above and beyond. I would recommend Irina of course, and Lili who did my lips yesterday!!! I was so nervous to have them done, as I did not want that over done look. Lili nailed it. And, this morning NO bruising. Evelyn is awesome too. And Janine is my product guru. She helped me with some redness I had last year from years of sun exposure, bam gone! Cecilia and Keri are great as well, always making sure I have what I need to make the treatments comforatble. I've referred many freinds and would tell you don't walk run to Artful. You won't regret it. Wendy M East Bay,

More so I wanted to look rested and a tad more youthful. Irina is a pro at that. Im also on immunosuppression medication and she was very careful with what she could and couldn't use on me based on my very long medical history and medication list. We went with daxxify which lasts longer than traditional botox and it has! And I wanted a little volume in my lips where in my 40s Ive lost. She went with RHA filler for my lips. RHA is way more natural and loved my plumper lips. I experienced very little bruising. Highly recommend Irina and her staff! Looking forward to my PRX facial next with Janine who I also recommend.

I found Desiree after researching for hours on end for the right fit that met all my high standards. Desiree has definitely impressed me. Not only her credentials are top notch, her knowledge about skin in outstanding, and her artistic mind makes her a rare find. This trifecta of qualities put Desiree in a category of her own. She follows procedures like a doctor, explains everything like a professor, and works on you like a true artist. I also love the fact that she empowers each client by highlighting the natural beauty and only suggest treatments that will be beneficial to enhance that beauty. She's never pushy and it's always honest with her assessments. I feel like I've truly found an ally and supporter, guiding me into aging gracefully, confidently and beautifully. Thanks for making me look 10 yrs younger!

Not only is she super close by, making logistics a breeze, she is also an artist and a perfectionist! She is so good at making my lashes just right for my face and my eye shape. She listens to me and is always polite, patient, and attentive. I'll tell her certain things that I like and prefer and she always does her very best to be super accommodating. I find her price point to be extremely fair. Especially for the work she does. Easy when it comes to scheduling too. Very communicative and as sweet as can be. You go Janice! The space is shared and open. I'm used to private studios when I've gotten my lashes done in the past, but the building interior is so large, with high ceilings, that it doesn't matter that there are other people around. It gives Grecian vibes with these big ornate columns in the room. The aesthetics are cute and pretty in the shop too. I always appreciate the little touches in the bathroom.

This review if for Hayley's eyelash extension service (I had an old review at her previous location…read moreso this is long overdue). I wish I had a more glamorous photo to share of my eyelash extensions but I decided to just take one now on a whim for this review. So this is what my lashes look like, straight out of bed, no brushing. This is it and it looks great. This photo is taken a couple days after a fill. Hayley is very good and I get the impression that she takes a lot of pride in her work. She's actually pretty fast given that she lashes almost every single lash, if not every single lash. I would know since I used to get "one to one" lashes with her. I am pretty particular about my extensions. And for me, her extensions last a long time. They still look really amazing at the end of 4 weeks. I also personally like them "not too long" since I also wear glasses and I like a mix of lashes. Hayley is really wonderful at what she does. I appreciate that she allows me to relax and sometimes even fall asleep during the fills. Even at 39 weeks pregnant with a giant belly, she offers these wedge pillows to make you more comfortable so you can lie on your side for the fills--which I think is very thoughtful and kind of her, especially because it seems like an inconvenience for her to be lashing at a weird angle. I actually have tried a few of the other technicians (Sandy and Daisy) and they are also very nice and good at what they do. Hayley is my favorite though so I will be getting my lashes done by her for as long as she is working! I've been with her for four years now. I highly recommend her. I'm sure she also provides other services that are wonderful, but I have yet to try them. Thanks Hayley!

Parrish is a wonderful woman. I mean, I honestly thought she was like a friend after only four…read moreappointments. She is very personable. For that, she gets one star. Why such slow rating? She is a charlatan! She ripped me off! Plain and simple. Parrish charged me $450.00 for a permanent make-up service, which took place over three appointments s. I feel like I got to know her a little bit...which, is why I was so blown away when my "permanent make-up" lasted all of 36 hours. I'm embarrassed because I am 51 years old and I should know better than to trust a total stranger to apply permanent make-up to my eyelids. Well...I guess I have grown to trust YELP too much, as her 5-Star rating caught my attention. PLEASE...save yourself the misery and go to someone else. There are too many people who offer the same service..,but legitimately. If you pay Parrish Blair for anything, I guarantee you, you will be hustled. She is a nice person with a shitty work ethic. Parrish told me that she would provide me "other services," to make-up for her lack of skill in applying my permanent eyeliner. However, when I attempted to redeem this service, she backed out on me with two "emergencies." When asked if she would give me a partial refund, she said "I can't give you money back, I have used it to pay my rent." Really? I could have used it to pay rent. I am not rich, Parrish. I work hard, just like you pretend to do. After making my second appointment, she informed me that she was moving to Atlanta, Georgia, so she wouldn't be able to provide me any services after this January. If that's true (I wonder), she will, hopefully, find another cash flow stream, which she hasn't burned yet. I suppose in Atlanta you can pay more rent with $450.00 than you can in the Bay Area. Oh...but there is yelp in Georgia, too, Parrish....so, get your shit together! Sarah
