The technician was kind, patient, and efficient. The service itself was quick and precise, exactly what I was looking for without feeling rushed. They also offer threading for those who prefer that option. The space is not massive but it doesn't have to be what was most important is it felt clean and organized. It's not a big spa style environment, more of a focused beauty service spot, but everything felt tidy and professional. While I was getting my service done, my husband waited in the front area and mentioned the receptionist was very friendly and respectful. She made conversation with him while he waited, which he appreciated. The brow wax was $27 and we tipped $10. Overall it was a smooth, no fuss experience that did exactly what it needed to do. I'd stop back in again for a quick brow cleanup when in the area.

Not only are her lashes beautifully applied and perfected, they do not cause damage, breakage, or bald patches. And believe me, I've experienced plenty of that elsewhere. Her attention to detail and commitment to her craft is unrivaled. You can tell she really cares about what she creates, with every single lash. She will tailor her art to fit your vision while also working with what you've got, instead of loading up your lids and risking your natural lash health. She is clean, efficient, and (bonus) hilarious! Her room is thoughtfully designed and comfortable, and if we aren't chatting about anything and everything, I am drifting off to beauty nap land with a podcast in the background. As busy as I am, I honestly look forward to our biweekly appointments - not just for the phenomenal lashes, but for the wonderful company and welcoming environment. if you are looking for someone new, or as a first timer to the wonderful world of lash extensions, look no further. Heidi is your girl.

Parking is the only downside: they have one spot in the front and two in the back, and street parking was packed when I went. Luckily, I snagged one of the back spots. Haley was awesome. She made the whole experience comfortable, quick, and genuinely enjoyable. My tan looked great, and I'd definitely recommend them if you're looking for a quality spray tan in SLO.

Thank goodness for Amber Bell! I got my eyelash extensions…read moredone by her around three weeks ago and I have so much good to say about my experience! To start, she is the sweetest thing that has ever graced this planet and is so committed to giving you the look you want to achieve! I didn't want a natural look like I had just swiped on a coat of mascara, however I was looking for something that stood out but didn't look noticeably fake. I haven't had to wear mascara in weeks and I couldn't be happier! My natural lashes won't hold a curl no matter how much I curl them, even if I use a primer or heat up my eyelash curler, they go flat in about an hour. They are quite pricey for the full set, but the refills are much cheaper, so over time they cost about the same as other salons that advertise a lower price for a full set. Backstory: I got lash extensions a few months prior and the woman glued numerous lashes together and made them all the same length. They ended up falling out in clusters about a week later and I was left with lashes maybe a centimeter long. This place was in AG and the lash stylist did not have an esthetician's license, so the best thing I could suggest is to check for that before you get your lashes done because these are your eyes you're messing with! Anyways, Amber did an AMAZING job and played great music while she applied my set. We were talking a lot of time, but there were definitely moments when I nodded off. The whole application of a full set lasted around and hour and a half and my time slot was two hours, so I didn't feel rushed or like Amber was rushing to finish. I really cannot recommend her enough! If you're considering getting eyelash extensions in SLO or nearby, definitely go to Amber Bell at Elevenses.

I got the works- top of the line. So I have a legitimate, recent and direct comparison of facials. In fact, I would argue noone should have been better than my PB experience. Or my many years of facials I've had at many locations in the US. But to Ginnaea's credit, here, at Cheeky, she was hands down miles above in treatment, product knowledge, pacing, pressure, and of course results in a beautiful glow that lasted. I would not hesitate to visit her again. She listens, analyzes and educates while not stealing from your experience of pleasure and relaxation- which I believe, most of us people are looking for....some peace. I hope this conveys the professionalism and sweetness I recieved to future clients. She will be my favorite Esthetician. I am only giving recommendation for Ginnaea as I have not tried the other professionals there yet. I'm hooked on her care. But, the salon is adorable and is a pleasant experience in general so I would try it. She also has up to date tools and procedures.

Her space is through the salon back down the hallway in a private room. Sandra provided an extremely comfortable space with a friendly bedside manner and very gentle handling of my eyes and eyelashes notably, also her bed/table that you lay on is very comfortable. During my service, my eyes unexpectedly watered, and she was able to fix right away! I can tell she truly cares about her craft and that her clients are extremely happy with the service - she offered if anything needed to be adjusted. She'd be happy to see me before I left for vacation.

This was my third time getting my hair cut by Alissa Todd and by golly she does an incredible job…read moreevery time! First of all, she is so kind and easy to talk to. Second of all, I've been experimenting with slightly different cuts - longer bangs, short bangs, layers, etc - and she has been so amazing at really taking in all of the little silly details and requests. Today I decided to try shorter bangs and layers, and a rounded shape in the back and I LOVE IT Alissa totally knows how to bring out the natural texture of my hair. Tired of that one hairdresser that cuts your hair the exact same way no matter what you ask for?? Go to Alissa!!! P.S. Although this review is mainly in praise of the lovely Alissa, I really love this salon as a whole. As a lesbian, it's really nice to spend a couple hours in a space that's not only queer-friendly but genuinely a queer space. ‍
