I first met Catherine when I purchased a groupon for a cat eye lash extensions. She was easy to communicate with through text and I was able to get an appt easily. My first appt was a cat eye. For my fill 2-ish weeks later, I opted to upgrade to the full natural set. I was satisfied with the results and they lasted almost a month. I returned to Catherine after a 4 month hiatus due to my busy schedule. I'm so glad I came back!! Catherine works very carefully and listened to what I wanted. The results were awesome. I can be eye makeup-free for a few weeks! Her process was very gentle- no stinging from the glue. She also does a meticulous job. Thanks so much!! read more

Catherine, was amaze balls! My lashes look so great, and have received many compliments on how beautiful they are. I just finished the spartan race this past Saturday, and my lashes kept up quite well with all the sweat and tears :) Thank you Catherine, I shall be back!! read more

Catherine cut my hair short for the first time since I was a kid. This cut symbolized something much deeper than looks could explain but boy did I feel sexy afterward! Not only did I leave feeling more confident but Catherine makes you feel so comfortable and at ease!!! read more

I visited Catherine for eyelash extensions, and she is absolutely amazing at what she does. Not only is she very patient, kind and skilled, Catherine is also fully licensed which means you will be getting top notch quality products and service! It's helpful to have an idea of what you want your eyelashes to look like, but Catherine still took her time understanding my need. She was also realistic about setting my expectations because the result depends on your already existing eyelashes, but that doesn't mean Catherine won't do magic and all her best to make you look fabulous. My wonderful experience began before I even came in to the salon. While setting up an appointment, Catherine was diligent in explaining what steps I should take prior to coming in, in order to extend the life span of my eyelashes. When I came in for my appointment, I filled out an extensive questionnaire that included very specific instructions for after care. I've had eyelash extensions before and the salon I visited offered none of the care and instructions that Catherine provided. I could tell from the beginning that Catherine is passionate about what she does and she cares about her customers. The process takes a while and is not the most relaxing, but its so worth the time. My eyelashes look fabulous and I feel great. Last but not least, be prepared to be amazed :) read more

Catharine is the absolute expert. I've been to a handful of places to get lash extensions, and no application has lasted as long as this one! She is extremely thorough, making sure the lashes are cleaned, primed, AND cured afterwards. Nowhere else have I had such a completed procedure, and the efforts made can be seen in the results. It's been 2 days shy of 3 weeks, and they still look full and fluttery. I actually cannot believe they've lasted this long. Another plus is that she's super nice and fun to talk to, and the location in Pacifica is super cute+easy parking. Thanks, Cat! read more

Catherine is the best! I love my lashes and she has taken care of me for almost 2 years now. I am totally addicted and they are always so beautiful when she is done. I don't wear any face makeup or rarely wear eye shadow or mascara. I mostly wear lipstick for a night on the town and now with beautiful eyelashes I am all set. They last a long time and I go swimming with them and dirt bike riding and they are strong holding. Thanks Catherine, I am so glad I found you. I bid on a raffle where Catherine DONATED a lash extension; I was lucky enough to be the highest bidder. Make your appointment now for Mindfully Beautiful and Catherine will take great care of you! read more

Ask your self, " how long have I been going into salons whether it be hair, nails, make up, lashes etc... " What are things you look for? What kind of service? The professionalism? The interaction?

I can see how she takes her time with each client, ensuring the satisfaction and happiness before each client departs. I've been seeing Catherine for a while now, for lashes and looking at everything, She doesn't just have you lay down and slap lashes on you. It's the whole experience that really makes each detail count. Fresh clean linen over laying a soft cushion bed table to lay on, everything organized to its according service location.

I was ready for a change, both in my hair style and my stylist and I found Catherine of Mindfully Beautiful and I'm feeling very grateful. While a bit of a trek out to Pacifica the salon is relatively easy to get to; all be it a bit hidden in the back of the small outside shopping area, there is free parking close by. The salon is nice and comfy and the location is great for a walk on the beach before or after getting your hair done. I had a very short hair cut for the last year or so and while it was great I was thinking I'd actually like to grow it out a bit, so I just didn't get it cut and I ended up with a bushy soccer mom hairdo. I needed help coming up with a transitional cut to help make the time between short-short and medium short a little less painful. Catherine listened to me and we talked about options, I had brought a few photos that I thought might work during this in-between stage if what I had and what I wanted, we looked at them together and talked about what would work for me. Catherine took her time (if you are looking for a quick in and out, this is not the place for you) she was thoughtful and friendly while doing my hair and while my haircut took nearly 90 minutes, I felt like it was worth it. A couple of weeks later I sent my boyfriend for a much needed haircut and his hair looks great too. I'll be back to Paul Strom Salon and Catherine and I might even venture to do some color next time. I've avoided for year, due to the toxic nature of most hair dye, but with all the great less-toxic products she uses I'm game to give it a try. read more

Right when you walk in, it smells amazing. It doesn't smell like chemicals like most salons do. They have indoor plants and have some really neat furniture and music that makes you feel instantly relaxed when you walk in. I got cat eyelashes done by Catherine and it turned out so much better than expected, and I had high expectations. She was careful with how she handled my eyes and was extremely knowledgeable with extensions. I trusted her right away! I've never had my lashes handled as gently as she did. Which is how the process should go. She's such an expert! Would definitely come back and bring more friends over here. read more

I had never tried lash extensions and thought it would be a good idea to purchase a Groupon for my first time. I was so fortunate to find Catherine at Mindfully Beautiful. She was excellent from the start. Prior to my first appointment she reached out to discuss the process and my expectations, being that it was my first time. Now I'm addicted and my lashes always look great. She is constantly looking for new products in order to provide the best quality for her clients. I truly look forward chatting with her while she works her magic on my eyes! I highly recommend her services. read more

Catherine is amazing! My initial visit and consultation was very pleasant. She is extremely professional, personable. She made me feel welcomed an comfortable. The spa environment is inviting clean comfortable very relaxing. My services were effortless. This was one of the best experiences I've had here in the Bay Area in the two years that I've lived here. I will be returning. Although, It's early on, as it's only day one of my lash extension application but the process alone brings me much comfort. She Is very gentle and my lashes look natural and flawless. Thank you Anna for the referral. Thank you Catherine for such a pleasant experience. See you soon. ~Tracy read more

I hate writing this and wrestled with posting a review for a while but think the story should be told. I had been going to Catherine for eyelash extensions - which was fine (FYI, I've had better)... until I mentioned that I was thinking of dying my hair pink... I wanted something soft/subtle (rose gold ombre with the ends being a pale/pastel pink) and something that I could easily wash out/change (since I mentioned a number of times that I will be getting married in the next year and don't want to do anything too crazy to my hair)... however, I also wanted it to last at least a month or two. Catherine originally mentioned that it could cost anywhere between $500-800 (~$100/hr for color correcting/lifting and saying it could take 3-5 hours for lifting alone) to do it with her. I politely told her I would go to someone else because the pink was just a fun color I wanted to try out. A week or so later she texts me saying she found a way to lighten faster and can get the cost down to somewhere in the $200 range. She appeared to do a lot of homework and said she did tons of fun colors on her daughter and other clients so I figured I'd give it a shot - HUGE MISTAKE. It took us some time to schedule (apparently, she has a hard time getting text messages because of reception in the salon - not really her fault but it makes it super difficult to communicate with her). Once we set an appointment, she set to dying my hair. After 6+ hours at the salon, the pink barely showed. She then told me she could reapply the pink dye and I could go home and sleep with it - the longer the better... something her daughter does all the time. She said that since the dye doesn't seep into the hair, it would just help it last longer. I went home with the dye and a cap, washed it the next morning, and, to my absolute horror, my hair was MAGENTA. I text Catherine for help and she told me to use a clarifying shampoo - didn't help and just dried out my hair even more than it was. I tried to see if she would be able to fix it (you know, so I could go into the outside world) - nope. She wasn't available for the next few days. I cried, got my money back and went to someone else for a fix. I have to note that there was a SEVERE amount of damage done to my hair. The areas she bleached was unsteady at best (you could see horizontal lines and patches of hair that went from light to dark to light again) and I ended up having to cut several inches to try to make my hair look remotely healthy. I also had to spend $500+ to re-dye my hair, deep condition, and treat with a variety of products to care for my hair. I've been to 3 other salons after this incident and each one was horrified at what had happened (NOTE: another salon told me it was ILLEGAL to send clients home with dye in their hair). read more

Hidden little place in Pacifica. I found this place through Groupon for lashes. Made an appointment and Catherine soon texted me and was very accurate in asking questions in regards to what I want and my occasion. During my time of my appointment Catherine was very pleasant and the outcome was satisfactory. Barely any stinging and she was very thorough, I will be coming back for a fill in a couple weeks. My lashes look and feel light weight, I can barely tell that there there until I look in the mirror that is. read more

My wife had a horrible eyelash curling accident, cutting off half her lashes. Catherine came to the rescue. She took eyelash extensions to a new level, somehow able to fill in the gaps and make them look better than ever. Her patience and kindness and abilities got my wife through a traumatic time. And her prices were reasonable compared to competitors. From my wife: "With Catherine's eyelash extensions, you wake up in the morning looking glamorous, like you already have eye makeup on. I'd recommend them to anyone, even if they haven't gone through the trauma I went through." read more

Completely unprofessional and unresponsive. Work was shoddy at best and after asking to have it fixed, ignored.

Catherine is the BEST! She's very nice & works with you tell you find the exact thickness & length of lashes you like & suits your face. Highly recommend.l her. read more

Catherine was great! I normally can't stand it when anyone touches my eyelids, but she made me so comfortable, I hardly noticed. My lashes lasted over a month before needing a fill. If you're thinking about lash extensions, she's your gal!!! read more

Catherine is a wonderful hair stylist! She is friendly, professional, and knowledgable. I appreciate that fact that she uses organic hair products. Today, I tried the organic hair color, however my process actually started 2 days ago with a personal consultation and allergy testing; something that all stylists learn to do in their training and are expected to continue to do in their practice. Catherine is the first stylist that ever checked my sensitivity to a product. Her prices are very reasonable. The salon she works in has the beauty of Rockaway Beach and the sophistication of a San Francisco salon without the hassle of parking and crowds. Most of all, she did an amazing job on my hair!! read more

Catherine is great at satisfying customer expectations. She's very customer-oriented & will find time to make customer happy.

Catherine is fantastic! She is so efficient and detailed to get the best natural looking lashes for my eyes. I've been to other places before And it took hours. Catherine is so much quicker and my lashes last for a long time! read more

I went in a few weeks ago for a cut and color. Catherine was so wonderful! She asked all the right questions about my hair. She adjusted the color to fit my hair and skin tone. I really can't say enough good things about this experience. She clearly enjoys her craft. I moved to Pacifica a few years ago and have been looking for a hairstylist. I am so glad that I found her. She is amazing! read more

I've had my lashes done by Catherine several times now and I LOVE them! When I started doing this, I thought it would be a one-time splurge, but it has quickly become a necessity. She's incredibly sweet, professional, and takes great care in making sure that she gives you the best lashes you could ever ask for. She'll talk to you about your preferences and what it is you want to achieve and will work with you to come up with a realistic game plan. She's so meticulous and patient so you can be sure that you will leave 1000% satisfied! She also has amazing options for add-ons - you can do glitter lashes, lashes with Swarovski crystals, mink (cruelty free!), silk - you name it, she can do it. Her prices are incredibly fair and competitive. While you can definitely find someone cheaper, the fact is that you get what you pay for. I honestly can't imagine paying any less than what she costs and still get the same quality of service. Aside from the convenience of not having to do a single thing to my eyes everyday, my lashes have become healthier since I'm no longer using an eyelash curler or mascara. I can't praise her enough. I used to be the type of person that at the very least HAD to have mascara on if I left the house but now I feel like I can just wash my face and go. Aside from feeling glam, the convenience speaks for itself. I don't think I can ever go back to a curler and mascara. read more

Love her!! She's clean, professional & awesome!! Very natural looking! Does what you ask for!!

I was thrilled to hear that Catherine was back in action after a year of quarantine to help me get my style back! Not only did she shape my hair to hang smoothly around my face she is a master hair colorist. She has worked on my gray hair for the past 4 years. When I started graying she did her due diligence in helping to find the right products that wouldn't cause an allergic reaction. I am one of those women whose face swelled with the darker hair colors and needed prescription allergy medication. (This was from another hair stylist, which is why I started with Catherine.) She was able to find the right product on the first try and darkened all of the gray with a blackish/brownish hair dye. Low and behold no swelling, no itching just swag! During quarantine my hair went back to gray. I decided to try something new and went midnight blue. She continued to work on the color until it was perfect. Now, no more gray, still no swelling, still no itching just got my swag back! Thank you Catherine! Keep up the good work! read more

I had Catherine do my eyelashes today! So glad I did!! they look amazing! she is very talented and takes her time to make sure they all are perfect and the best part no more mascara it's amazing what a few lashes can do for a girls confidence!!! highly recommend!!! read more

Love Catherine! She is amazing with eyes lashes, and she is very friendly and personable. She is flexible and even checks in to remind you of appts which I really appreciate. I was always apprehensive about getting my lashes done because of the horror stories you'd here about other salons. She is very passionate about her work, explains everything to you as your going along, always makes sure your comfortable and does a great job. I would highly recommend her! read more

First, I was late due to ridiculous traffic. I felt awful and tried my best to get there at the scheduled time which was noon. Catherine was amazingly nice and professional. I got the cat eye extensions because it is my first time and I didn't want to go overboard. They look amazing and feel great. She was so gentle during the process and even though my right eye kept watering she did a flawless job. I'm recommending her to all of my friends! Thank you Catherine! read more

Catherine was fantastic! It was my first experience getting lash extensions and I love them! Got the cat eye set and I feel fantastic.

I've had some good lashes done in the past, but Catherine is amazing. A week after having them done the woman waxing my eyebrows asked if I had eyelash extensions- She couldn't tell! Catherine takes her time and is incredibly personable. Besides being an expert in her field Catherine is a good person. In a world full of options I prefer to give my money to good people. If you're like me you won't be disappointed! read more
