The process leading up to our appointment, she was very responsive, attentive, and respectful to any questions I had. The day-of, she was so incredibly wonderful to work with - my wife and I aren't usually big on make up and whatnot but for our wedding we wanted to make sure we looked good, and looked good we did thanks to Angelina! She was so pleasant to chat with and she quickly made us feel comfortable, checking in with us throughout the process to make sure we were happy with the way things were looking. We both left feeling extremely happy with our end looks - and even better was despite touching up my lipstick just a few times throughout the evening, our looks lasted 12+ hours! I never once felt like a melted candle and we both got so many compliments throughout the entire day. I highly recommend Angelina and if I ever need to get my hair/make-up done again, she'll be the first one I reach out to.

I also couldn't find a single updo that I liked - and then Christi flipped my hair into a high bun during our trial and I LOVED it! Totally redefined my wedding look! She did my best friend's makeup, who doesn't normally wear makeup, and made her look timeless, classic, stunning and exactly herself just elevated. She knows her stuff!!!! Trust her!!!! And she gave me fantastic product recommendations, was totally available by text before the wedding to communicate and ask questions. During the wedding day she was by my side fixing my hair and makeup but almost invisibly. Even cleaning the bottom of my dress!!! She stayed until the very end. A total partner. She brought on a second person - Lisa - who was FANTASTIC too. They both were SO good at what they do, and so personable too. Cannot more highly recommend hiring Christi!!!

And let me tell you, the work Sidney did on my wife's eyebrows was worth every penny. From the moment we walked in, it was nothing but professional, welcoming, and detail-focused. Sidney took her time, explained everything clearly, and made sure my wife felt confident and comfortable throughout the process. The results? Flawless. Natural, clean, and perfectly shaped -- exactly what my wife wanted. She left glowing and couldn't stop smiling. And as the saying goes... Happy wife = happy life. So yes, I'm very happy too. If you're even considering permanent brows, don't hesitate. Sidney Le Beauty delivers quality work and a top-tier experience. Highly recommend!

As a true child of the '90s, I absolutely fell victim to the era of aggressive overplucking... and…read moremy eyebrows never really recovered. After years of battling uneven drawn on brows, spending way too much on makeup, and wasting precious time every morning trying to get them to match (and not look wild), I knew I needed something more permanent. I started looking into microblading, but like many people, I had mixed feelings. Would it look natural? Was it worth the price? Would I regret it? So I did what any curious Millennial does, I went down the Instagram rabbit hole. That's when I found Sidney Le and started following her team and their different artists. I watched for months, studied the styles, and finally decided to pull the trigger. From the moment I reached out, the team was helpful, clear, and direct, which I immensely appreciate. I won't lie, the price did give me a little sticker shock at first. But then I remembered: this is a tattoo... on your face. And when you factor in: 1. The quality and expertise of the artists 2. The high-end products they use and how long it lasts 3. The time, money, and daily frustration it saves you PLUS the fact that it won't smudge or wash off in water... It was a no-brainer. My first appointment went great. The artist really took time to assess my face and skin type, and we decided on the Ombre Brow technique. I've never looked back! Now I go in every 2 to 2.5 years for a refresh and see Sara, who I absolutely adore. She's patient, detailed, and always makes sure I'm happy with the shape and color before we start. Now, let's talk pain. Yes, it's a tattoo on your face, so no, it's not completely painless. The outline and initial scratching definitely sting. But after that, numbing cream is applied and it's honestly not bad. It is more pressure than pain. I've even fallen asleep during the process because Sara's setup is so calming: soft music, cozy blanket, and one of the comfiest tables I've ever laid on. If you're on the fence, let this be your sign to go for it. Microblading (or ombre brows, in my case) has saved me so much time and given me such a boost in confidence. Just remember: there is a healing process. Your brows will look dark, they'll itch, and they'll peel..... but trust the process!! Once they heal, you'll be obsessed. Honestly? Best beauty decision I've ever made. Worth every single penny.

I would rate this 0 stars if I could. This is going to be a long review. I'll start from the very…read morebeginning. Also, this is not my first make up artist I've hired so I have done this multiple times all without hiccups. My prior make up artists were in the bay area or LA area. This was the worst experience ever. I submitted a yelp submission back in October for my graduation ceremony on 12/14/23. The contact information has name, email, what type of an event, date of the event, phone number, location address. My email, phone number and location address are all correct. Shana wrote a draft response on 10/27/23 but left it in her drafts. She finally sent me a reply on 10/30/23. I reply same day on 10/30/23 asking for a 10:00 am appointment. Shana replies on 11/01/23 asking if I can do 11:00 am. I respond on 11/01/23 with a yes and ask if anything else is needed. Shana replies on 11/01/23 putting me down for 12/14 @ 11:00 am offering hair services as well. I response on 11/02/23 asking to please book both. I receive no response after. I email on 12/05/23 asking if she received my earlier email and asked for a confirmation of the make up session on 12/14. Shana emails me on 12/07/23 with time and date and finally rate. On the day of my appointment as I am getting ready to go to her studio she emails me on 12/14/23 saying she "assumed" I don't need services. I send three emails and have called but she did not answer. #1 My understanding is that a make up artist goes to the location address inputted. Also, prior make up artists I have hired have done so. But apparently not at this one. #2 If you really wanted to do make up at 11:00 am you would have answered the phone. It would have been better if you just were honest and told your clients you couldn't do their make up. #3 There are technology issues. Hiring an assistant or using a different way to schedule would work. Who knows how many others had issues like this. I find it odd there aren't any real recent reviews as well. Please pm me if you want actual screenshots of my convo. I've saved them all.

I opted for a bridal trial to test out hair and makeup looks I wanted months in advance. Lisa is very friendly and easy to vibe with, which made working with her enjoyable. Lisa followed up with detailed notes after my trial where I could make final adjustments as needed. I booked my engagement shoot the same day, which worked out well. I even tested crying in my makeup (just in case!) and it held up hours later. It was storming morning of my wedding reception but Lisa stayed in contact the day before and arrived right on schedule day of. She did hair and makeup for me, my sister, and my husband. I leaned towards wanting to look more natural but with nice pop for eyes and brows. Everything turned out perfect that wedding guests complimented me and my sister's makeup looks. Lisa is also multi talented and happens to be a baker. My husband and I ordered a green tea crepe cake through her that we wanted to utilize as our cutting cake. Lisa kindly delivered it to our hotel in Napa, which worked out beautifully logistics wise. The cake was amazing and the guests who happened to get a slice too really enjoyed it as well!
