My appointment was scheduled for 10:15 AM and didn't finish until 12:00 PM, even though it was…read moresupposed to take only 1 hour and 15 minutes. Before starting, I clearly explained to Chris that with my hair texture, blow drying alone would not be sufficient and that a flat iron was necessary. Despite this, he disregarded my concern and only blow dried my hair. On top of that, he left midway through the appointment to get something to eat, which was very unprofessional. Thankfully, Sam stepped in to help. She straightened my roots and curled my hair, and she did a great job fixing what she could. However, since the rest of my hair was never properly flat ironed, it became curly and frizzy again shortly after I arrived at my event. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. Long story short, Marissa reached out to me, saying the manager keilani will reach out to me and make it right, never heard from anyone and when I attempted to reach out crickets.

Her skill and artistry are incredible--she knows exactly how to enhance your natural beauty while making you feel completely at ease. On my wedding day, I was feeling under the weather, but Aimee worked her magic and made me look so fresh and radiant. I can't thank her enough for being so sweet, thoughtful, and caring throughout the entire process. She wasn't just my makeup artist--she was my fairy godmother!

This creates a tricky balance of not feeling comfortable in a ton of makeup but still want enough to feel done up and special. Aimee absolutely nailed it! I felt SO truly beautiful allllll day on my wedding day and still 100% myself. I cannot thank her enough for helping me feel so beautiful on my special day. I did not know much that would be helpful going into our trial and she was able to find the perfect process for my makeup and deal with my mind changing on hair style with extensions seamlessly. Aimee is so so talented and was also such a joy to just be around! Whether hair and makeup makes you nervous like me or if you feel good in that space but are looking for the right person, I know Aimee can provide an excellent service! I recommend her so much that I'm going back to her for a lesson to try and learn from her expertise. So talented and a wonderful, positive person to start your wedding day with! Miss you already, Aimee!

I got a lot of compliments with it, and some of my friends would often refer back to the look I had then. I love her energy and also just how warm and friendly she is to her clients. I often go back to her for eyebrow wax even when she left Benefit, moved to South San Francisco, and then now in Millbrae. She's the only one I trust to touch my brows! :) I tried going to other brow artists just because I moved to another state and I didn't have the liberty to fly every month to have my brows done in the West Coast from the Midwest. I was always skeptical of other people touching my brows. I know it will grow out anyway in a couple of weeks, but still. Helenette has this special touch to have your brows on fleek. I'm so happy that I can always go to her now with me being back in the Bay Area. It's actually one of the things I missed living in another state. Because of course, there's only one Helenette! ;) I love this girl so much, that I did recommend her services and expertise to one of my friends when she got married 3 years ago. Helenette is the best! You will not regret having her as a brow whisperer. She also magically makes you look like a decent human being with her makeup skills.

The prices are really good and even if she raised them I would be glad to pay $50 for brows! She literally saved my eyebrows before they were going to become bald haha.

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.

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!

Not only did it hurt like a mofo cuz she cut me too deep even though I was bleeding profusely but the results were below expectations considering her highly rated reviews. I was left w/ uneven areas and patchy areas. Melody was meticulous in both her prep and after care instructions that made me feel good about going into our session. She assured me that my prior experience was out of the norm and worked to make corrections to even out my brows. I also didn't feel the traumatic slicing pain like I did w/ the other artist nor was I excessively bleeding everywhere. She's also easy to chat w/ which made me feel at ease.

Teresa is an amazing makeup artist! I had the great pleasure of working with Teresa on my wedding…read moreday and in the months leading up. After receiving several makeup artist recommendations from friends, I had a good feeling about Teresa from the start, and most of all, my bridal party and I couldn't have asked for better results on the big day! Here are a few reasons why I absolutely loved Blank Canvas: 1) Great pricing: VERY reasonable compared to others in the area, especially considering that Teresa is a certified esthetician. The cost for the trial goes toward the final cost on the day of the event. She even offers to stay for touch-ups during your event for a small charge, which is more than worth-it for the extra reassurance. She could have easily charged more, so I know I got the most bang for my buck! 2) Professional: Teresa was incredibly responsive to emails (a huge plus for busy brides like me) and very detailed as well. Before we even met, she gave me good info on the products she uses and discussed with me some looks to aim for. During our trial, I immediately felt like I was in good hands. Teresa is really easy to work with and communicates with you the entire way to make sure you are getting the look you want. 3) Talented: I do NOT have great skin, but Teresa managed to make me look naturally flawless on my wedding day. She uses high-quality products that last all day without needing much re-touching. Something I was especially looking for was foundation that provides long-lasting full coverage without that caked-on heavy feeling on your face. Teresa helped me feel comfortable, beautiful and confident the entire day! 4) Extra tidbits: -With 6 ladies to work on (myself, 4 bridesmaids, and my mom), Teresa brought in an assistant makeup artist to work with the bridesmaids. I found this to be a great set-up because I didn't have to worry about timing, and Teresa was able to focus most of her attention on me with buffer time to spare. -Clean and sanitary! You can rest assured that their brushes and other tools are sterilized between uses. Always a plus in my book! My experience with Teresa and Blank Canvas was excellent, and honestly one of the best choices I made for my big day. If you're looking for amazing makeup and service that is friendly and affordable for your next event, Blank Canvas will not disappoint!

Having to commute quite a distance to get my eyelashes done means that it's worth the drive for me! Plus, her prices are within my budget especially since she uses quality products and is knowledgeable on what materials to use. I think it it worth paying her rates! Jennifer is super professional and what I appreciate most is that she is willing to explain the process as well as check-in with her customers. For example, I shared I had been interested in getting eyelash extensions and she shared with me the process and answered any questions I had. When I got to her studio she created a relaxing environment where I ended up falling asleep and snoring (lol). She plays music and has like a small fountain with water which increases the relaxing sounds as she does her work. She'll also check-in here and there to ensure you're comfortable and okay. Everything is soooo clean! She santizes everything prior to each client and even included her sanitizing procedures on her social media. When you enter her studio she asks you to remove your shoes from the outside germs and also has handsanitizer. Both Jennifer and myself keep our masks on throughout the appointment. Honestly, having eyelash extensions with a hint of color has given me a boost in my confidence! I totally am feeling myself with it and the best part is no longer having to put on eyeliner to save my time on my morning routine :) Jennifer also sells lash kits which includes stickers, a wash specifically for your extensions, a loyalty card and aftercare directions! Like I mentioned, Jennifer is super transparent and is willing to answer any questions she has. She delivers quality service and care.
