    Found her on instagram. The left pic is my before and the right pic is my after.

    So glad I finally did this! Shelby was very thorough, sweet, and knowledgeable. My eye brows have always been naturally uneven and filling them in everyday was a hassle. I am so happy with how they turned out! Now I wake up with perfectly even, natural looking brows. The procedure was pain free. The numbing cream works really well. We went over the shape that would flatter me best and look the most natural. Shelby was so patient with me and listened to my brow questions. She really has a skill and is such a nice person. The 1.5 hours it took to do my brows flew by. I love that my brows look so natural and that I no longer have to fill them in. My brows are in the healing stage and so far so good. She gave me a lot of information on what to expect during the healing process. The after care is surprisingly easy to follow since she provides you with detailed instructions. Thanks Shelby!

    I have been wanting to get my brows microbladed for a couple years now. For some reason, it seemed like a somewhat scary venture so I DEFINITELY took my time before finally making the jump and I'm so glad I did. I've been following Shelby on IG for over a year (along with a few other local peeps who do microblading). The biggest reasons were wanting to see a LOT of their work and ensure that the consistency is up to par--and OMG, Shelby is the BEST! The booking process and the actual first appointment were a breeze. I've had several friends who have said getting their brows done was a super painful experience, but let me tell you.... I didn't feel a THING Whatever numbing cream Shelby uses is a dream. The healing process hasn't had any surprises or things come up that I wasn't expecting (I already have several other tattoos and she gives you a really detailed after care one-sheet!). It's been three days since I got them done and I'm obsessed Can't wait to go back in again for my touch up appt! Sidenote: her studio is GORGGG Such a beautiful space to spend some time treating yourself!

    A MUST! I always wanted to microblade my eyebrows but was scared because of how I've seen them look... y'all know what I mean. You can see in my photo that my subtle change was done perfectly! Even today people say "who you're eyebrows are great" or "something looks better on you I just can't figure it out". Shelby is amazing. She's kind, gentle even though this is an uncomfortable feeling she makes it go by quickly since she's so easy to talk to. Ladies AND gentlemen this is for you! Also, if you're plant based like me or just love this planet, her products are all natural and vegan You kit the jackpot finding Not Your Basic Brows!

    Shelby is knowledgeable and professional. She's got a great setup and I highly recommend her. Wish I had the Microblading done sooner!

    Such a fun experience! I had searched for a brow specialist for a few years and couldn't quite find the person/technique that I wanted. I found Shelby thru instagram and instantly fell in love with her work. She can create natural brows effortlessly! My appointment was very easy. She was very clean and took extra precaution amid COVID 19. 10/10 would recommend, and I can't wait for my perfecting appointment.

    ATTENTION: I LOVE this Salon , BUT today's experience was unacceptable"…read more I am a monthly member of The Lash Lounge in Laguna Niguel and have always had a wonderful experience. BRENDA is fantastic, and RACHEL at the front desk is consistently warm, professional, and helpful. I've genuinely grown to appreciate this location, which is why today's experience was so disappointing. Brenda wasn't available, so I booked with the first available stylist, BREANNA Unfortunately, from the beginning, the interaction felt unnecessarily confrontational and unprofessional. Breanna was slightly late for my appointment and immediately began criticizing the condition of my natural lashes and telling me what she thought I should be doing differently in relation to the extensions. I explained that I have been wearing lash extensions for more than 10 years, use a lash-support serum, and know the style and look that works for me. I certainly welcome professional recommendations, but I expect them to be communicated respectfully. During the appointment, she repeatedly complained about my eye twitching, even after I explained that it is involuntary and unfortunately not something I can control. While removing an extension, I felt a sharp clip/pinch to my eyelid and told her that she had hurt me. Rather than simply stopping and checking my eye, she disputed what I had experienced and attributed the pain to my twitching and a natural lash being pulled with the extension. At that point, the overall tone of the appointment had become so uncomfortable that I finally said, "You don't seem to want to do my lashes, so let's reschedule." She immediately agreed. What concerned me most was what happened afterward. Instead of allowing the interaction to end professionally, Breanna continued speaking to me in an argumentative and disrespectful manner and followed me toward the front desk. I finally had to tell her that the conversation was over and that I was no longer interested in discussing it with her which she then proceeded to tell me she was going to call the owner. I sincerely hope she was honest in explaining her unacceptable , rude and dismissive behavior to a client who could go anywhere else but loves this Lash Lounge. I have had too many positive experiences at The Lash Lounge to judge the entire salon based on one employee, and I will absolutely continue seeing Brenda. But I do believe management needs to address this employee and experience seriously. Clients should be able to disagree with a stylist, have an involuntary eye twitch, or request a particular lash style without being made to feel criticized or unwelcome. There is a big difference between offering professional advice and speaking down to a client. Today I left without having my lashes completed and feeling genuinely disappointed by how I was treated. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because, in my experience, this behavior is not representative of the otherwise excellent service I have received at this location. I would like to continue my membership and sincerely hope this will be addressed so it doesn't leave a negative mark on this otherwise wonderful Salon.
