When I checked in, the staff was very friendly but the hair salon seemed very busy even on a weekday. I was then told by my aesthetician to undress and change into a strapless towel dress in the common bathroom. The treatment itself was nice and relaxing - though she didn't do extraction on me. Afterwards she gave a recommended list of products given what she noticed in my skin. For a $25 promotion facial, I'd say it was worth going to check out

So this past Monday I went to see Donna. To be completely honest I was always suspicious of this…read morewhole color analysis thing. Couldn't I just use an app? Couldn't I just figure it out on my own? What could I possibly learn from this? Will it be worth it? I came in pretty confident that I'm warm toned. Oh baby, little did I know I was SO WRONG. My head is still spinning from how much I learned. She spent about 2 hrs to educate me on color theory and then put it into action with the color draping. She not only answered my questions, she showed me so I could see with thine eyes what happened to my complexion. I could truly see a difference in what colors made my skin. Donna is amazing at what she does. I left the session feeling informed and so grateful for my experience. If you are curious about color analysis in general, I highly recommend going to see her! I feel confident in knowing what makeup, clothes and even shoes to wear to look my very best. Thank you so much Donna! Lastly, if you're not convinced, swipe through the photos. The beige/orange colors make my skin look grayer and my eye bags darker compared to the black/flowery drape and red colors.

I booked a personal color analysis with Donna and have no regrets! Donna is a fantastic teacher and…read moreexplained everything so well in an engaging way. I loved that she had so many visual aids. I've seen other color analysis done with colored drapes but I really liked Donna's curated selection of clothing as an alternative. The clothing with it's various textures, sheen and depth made the analysis more grounded and real to me. I'm already a huge fan of wearing colors and was thrilled to learn that my instincts for color were mostly spot on. And now this explains why there's a few pieces of clothing that just didn't seem right to me. And I really appreciated that we figured out if gold or silver jewelry was better for me too! I'm approaching my current closet and future shopping with new eyes and feel empowered that I'd be making the right color choices for me. If color analysis is something you've been curious about, I highly recommend this service from Donna.

The Way of Tea is…read moreparticularly focused on noticing *this* moment right here - this one that will never happen again because even if we came back to this place later we would be different people. Urasenke hosts an abbreviated (not the four-hour long-form) tea ceremony at 6 PM on the first Wednesdays of each month. It's part educational program - because the hosts encourage everyone to ask questions as they go - and part tea ceremony. If you have no idea what to expect, here's some help: - You will be kneeling or sitting on mats the whole time, so wear clothes that are comfortable and stretchy (jeans can be binding in the knees). But do dress up a bit, as this is a somewhat formal event. - You will be asked to remove your shoes just inside the door. Wear clean socks. - You won't be served a meal. While the long-form ceremony includes a light meal, this presentation does not. You'll get a little sweet to contrast with the tea. And the thin tea is meant to be exactly three-and-a-half sips. - You really can ask as many questions as you like. Take some time soon to pause and notice the moment. Have some tea at Urasenke.

This unmarked tea room presents the entire experience of formal tea ritual as practiced by the Urasenke Foundation, a Kyoto-based non-profit. From the Japanese prints, to the flower arrangement, to an inspiring poem to the subdued lighting and tatami mats, a theme for the season is expressed to prepare your mind...then you enter the tea room. Each tea utensil and movement in making the tea has been refined to create a meaningful ritual that celebrates the beauty of the moment and being in the present. We had a very bitter live tea that was whipped and served with sweets that created an effect that the bitterness became suprisingly pleasant and refreshing. The students and teachers were exceedingly friendly and calmly dispelled any awkwardness for those of us on dial-a-clue as to the subtlties of Japanese etiquette. Among our group was a Buddhist monk from Tibet who asked a number of interesting questions relating tea to zen. Check their calendar online for the weekly "Open Hearth" dates and make a reservation as this is no casual cup of tea. I believe the Urasenke people also host occasional tea services at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco.
