    I love this salon! They do excellent work at a decent price. I have been there for various services…read moreand been happy with all of them. Brianna is particularly good at her job. She did a fantastic job micro blading my eyebrows! I highly recommend Brianna and the Mil Vali Salon!

    Milvali salon feels more like a assembly line chop shop vs high end salon experience. I've had two…read moreservices here and both fell short. I had a haircut here, which I ended up waiting for the stylist for over an hour. When she finally saw me she said it was bc some scraggly haired woman with her extensions came in last minute demanding she fix her hair, and so she spent hours re bonding (or whatever the term is?) the hair. I'm not trying to be mean here, but the woman had very fine blonde hair that was bob length and got hair down to her waist. My aside here is ...ladies...can we just love what we have and maybe do any enhancements in moderation instead of totally going overboard with the extensions down to our tushies?! And, yes, I was rightfully upset bc I had an appt and this woman did not, yet I had to wait for my scheduled service?? Totally doesn't make sense. The kicker was when I told the stylist she should have rescheduled me if she was going to be so late, and her response was that she didn't want to lose another customer that day. Welp, she definitely lost me as a customer, because I'd never go back to her. The cut was okay but overall a mind boggling experience and a waste of my time. The other experience I had was getting a facial from an aesthetician. I specifically let her know I didn't want any animal tested or animal products on my skin. And yet, she slapped collagen on my face (and it wasn't marine collagen). She also didn't do any arm or neck massage, which is odd because with all the facials I've had at other places, I've always had a light massage while a mask is on my face. When I asked about the massage, the aesthetician said she leaves the room while my mask is on vs doing a massage. Additionally, she kept using the term "anti-aging", despite me sharing that I'm not against what natural process happens to us all, and I don't like language that makes us hate a natural process. I think (especially in a spa or salon setting) there are far more positive terms we can use to describe caring for our skin. Rejuvenating, refreshing, aging with grace, naturally enhancing...sounds far more from a place of love and acceptance for ourselves than "anti-aging". From both of these less than par experiences, my take away was that I was in a low caliber salon, and not a specialized, leveled up establishment. It's been a year and I haven't returned, nor would I recommend this place to others.

I'm an older woman who needs someone to create brows that look as good as they can be and Lori is that person. I also like Benefit's products for brows - lots of choices and they're always coming up with more. It's definitely my place.

    Negative stars. My eyebrows are ruined from this place. It's been a month since I got my eyebrows…read morewaxed here and they're still THIN. My eyebrow lady never asked me what I wanted, I had to stop her first before she put the wax on to tell her I'm still growing them out. I just wanted them touched up because the last time I was here she did a great job. I'm posting a picture of what they looked like before I went in when my eyebrows were full and then after day after they were waxed. Literally still cannot get over how awful this was. I honestly think they make your brows thinner so you can buy more product. I got this service a month ago. I was hoping by now they would have grown out but they haven't. It took me years to get them as full as they were. And now I just feel really self conscious looking in the mirror and trying to work with them. There's really nothing they can do to fix my brows, they're just ruined indefinitely. Product doesn't fix them I don't want to have to wear MORE make up to fix my brows that looked great before.

This was my first time having any type of lip filler, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I went from having almost no visible upper lip especially when smiling to a more natural, balanced smile that made such a difference for me. I also had under-eye filler for the first time after years of hesitation due to seeing inconsistent results on others and the lack confidence at consultations with other providers in the past. Dawa immediately put me at ease, and the outcome surpassed what I hoped for. The under-eye filler didn't just address the hollowing, it subtly shaped and lifted my face in a way that looks refreshed and natural. The results are difficult to fully capture in photos, but in person they are even better than I imagined. I'm incredibly happy with my experience and will absolutely continue seeing Dawa in the future.

    I have been a 'lash extension' client of Jessica's for about 6 months now. I never thought I'd be…read moreso consistent with such a service, but every time she was finished and handed me the mirror, I just thought 'WOW'!!! I have small eyes and short lashes which can make me look tired even when I'm not. With Jessica's craft, I feel like it wakes up my entire face and the best part is that it looks....NATURAL! Some people might comment, "you look really good or rested, etc.." but my eyelashes are appropriate for my eyes and face and therefore it's not obvious I have extensions. (I have seen those kinds of lashes and always think it's ridiculous!) Another amazing part is that they LAST until my next fill. I have been getting extensions since I lived in New york and they either looked fake, put too few on, or they started falling out 3 days after having a service!! I personally couldn't imagine going to anyone else as long as I live in the Bay Area. Cherry on top - Jessica is prompt, considerate, friendly, kind & funny and therefore it makes the time go by so fast, it's a joy! Not something I dread like with other places in the past. It's a super comfortable space with great energy and light and good parking! Whole foods is right across the street, so when I'm done I can go walk through the aisles with bright eyes and a new spring in my step! :) Thank you Jess !!

She is super clean, always on time and won't chat unless YOU want to chat. Her products are top-rate--no burns, ingrown hairs, nada. Quick and easy. I tried lash extensions for the first time last year and her "weekend warrior" set is all I need to make my eyes pop and look really natural. I get compliments all the time and wear no mascara. Don't even think about it--just make the appointment!
