I loved my experience at POE Brow + skin studio. Today was my first time getting my brows done there and they turned out great. I definitely would recommend seeing Mylissa for brows. She makes you feel comfortable and is very knowledgeable! read more

After this cold winter my skin needed some love from Amanda. After leaving my facial my skin has since felt amazing and all the products she suggested are making their way into my daily routine. I also booked an appointment for my boyfriend to get his nose waxed and Mylissa took great care of him. Everyone there is super knowledgeable. read more

Can't believe I'm just now writing a review for Mylissa!! I should preface by saying, I've been on the hunt for a brow spot for years. Previous estheticians overwax my brows, trim too much, and I end up leaving unhappy. I'm particular about keeping them full and natural, yet defined. Mylissa is hands down the best brow artist I've found in the Bay Area... even my "bad" brow looks flawless when I leave her chair. I gladly drive from the Peninsula to Berkeley to see her, she's 100% worth the trip! read more

Came in earlier today to see Mylissa. I've known her for a few years & saw she was an esthetician who who specialized in brow & lash tinting. It was my first time with her & receiving this type of service. Mylissa is super friendly & welcoming at Poe! My brows look amazing, will definitely be back! read more

Both Amanda and Mylissa are amazing as I have been to both. I used to have pencil-thin brows and Amanda and Mylissa coached me through growing them out and now I get compliments on my brows all the time, I love them!! I go to Mylissa regularly for my brows, and this summer she did the wedding make-up for me and my bridesmaids, she did such a great job!! She was so much fun to get ready with and my make-up was stunning! Thank you, Mylissa!! See you soon for brows :) read more

Poe Brow + Skin Studio - Skin Care Near Me - Berkeley, California

See all

This review has been long overdue! I've been a client since they started in Walnut Creek. Both Mylissa and Amanda have taken good care of my brows. I know every time I go in for my appointment, I receive consistently great results and service. They are also very accommodating to help fit me into their schedule, can't thank them enough! read more

Where do I even begin?! Amanda is the best, 100% the absolute best at what she does. Her attention to detail and commitment to amazing work is unsurpassed. Her wealth of knowledge is fantastic, she is always willing to share tips and tricks with you. She can answer any question you ask and if you happen to somehow ask her something she doesn't know, I am sure that she will want to find out the answer for herself and you! I've been seeing Amanda for almost 6 years now and my mom has to see Amanda every time she comes to visit, sometimes I wonder if I'm becoming the excuse to go see Amanda. Random people will compliment you on your eyebrows after she does them. Baristas at Starbucks, cashiers at Walgreens, bartenders, people you know that you never thought knew eyebrows existed, be prepared, it will happen in person, via text and on Facebook... All of this being said, a picture is worth a thousand words so check out the before and after photo pic that I posted on here! Ah-may-zing!!! read more

Poe Brow + Skin Studio - Before and After with the Amazing Amanda Poe!! - Skin Care Near Me - Berkeley, California

Amanda is the créme de la créme of the skincare and brow industry. To get a service of any kind from her would be the most luxurious experience/best decision you will ever make. Amanda is so knowledgable and has a knack for naturally educating through any service. After years and years of going to nail salons for brows (I didn't know how terrible that was at the time), Amanda nursed my brows back to big, full beautiful health. She is ridiculously personable and you won't even realize you're getting your brows done because you'll be so busy chatting with her. I've never loved my brows more! Go see her. She is the absolute best. Would recommend 5,000 stars if I could. read more

Since my teens I tweezed my own brows. I never trusted anyone to touch em. There's a saying "Never trust a bitch with bad eyebrows!" Lol. I heard a lot about Amanda through friends, and so I checked out her work on Instagram @thebrowarchitect This woman had amazing skills and her eyebrows were beyond fleek status. I decided to take a leap of faith and grow my brows out and booked an appointment. Since 2012, I never looked back and to this day she's still slayin my brows! P.S. she also has hands of an angel when you get a facial haha. read more

Poe Brow + Skin Studio - Amanda has helped me tame my Asian brows and made em full and flawless - Skin Care Near Me - Berkeley, California

Love Amanda! Found her on Instagram and she's the real deal! She really is an artist and can tell you every single detail about your eyebrow it's crazy where it's thinner where needs to be grown out and even if you have a cowlick lol had no idea. We are working on growing my brows out so it's going to be fun seeing the transition of my thin brows to thicker ones! Highly recommend! read more

It's about time that I write a yelp review detailing how amazing Poe Brow & Skin Studio is! I cannot recommend them enough. I have been coming to Amanda for almost three years and I don't ever envision that changing. Amanda's work is flawless. She helps you reshape your brows in a way that is nothing short of magical. She gives you her undivided attention and truly cares about making you feel like the best version of yourself. Amanda has taken extra time on so many occasions to show me how to fill in my brows properly and keep them maintained in between appointments. Her facials are also AMAZING! The studio is welcoming, warm and nonjudgmental. They care about their clients! They deserve 100+ stars! read more

Amanda really knows how to shape a brow! She understands how to see the face and understand what the client wants. She listens and advises to your best features for facial hair. Thank you Amanda for sculpting my brows to look natural! Stacey read more

Just had my appt with Mylissa today and as always she made my eyebrows look amazing! This is my second time seeing her I followed her here and I'm so glad I did. I don't trust my eyebrows with anyone else! She knows I like them thick and arched and she did exactly that. She also is great to talk to during the time she starts until she is done! I cannot stress how amazing she is and I already booked my next appt with her! Thank you Mylissa!!! read more

Amanda is the best and the magic she does on your brows will truly change your life. I drive from three hours away to get my brows done here and it's 110% worth it. Not only is Amanda incredibly talented, but she is also super nice and makes the appointment feel like a breeze (which is saying a lot because this is a waxing appointment). Poe Brow + Skin Studio is amazing and I can't recommend it enough! read more

POE is a hidden gem in the East Bay! Finally, I don't have to drive for miles to get my eyebrows done. I'm so thankful to have found POE! I had my first visit with Mylissa today. She was professional, super sweet, thorough, talented, and made my eyebrows look perfect! I'm super picky with eyebrow places and have been traveling to Southern California to get mine done. I can now save the trips because Mylissa and POE are everything I was looking for in an eyebrow place. The studio is super cute and relaxing. Mylissa made me feel comfortable and listened to! I am so happy with my brows and I don't have any critiques/regrets. I can't wait until my next visit! There's no need to research further on yelp for an eyebrow place in the east bay, go to POE and visit Mylissa or Amanda!! You'll be thankful you did. :) read more

Mylissa ROCKS MY WORLD! I moved to the Bay Area from NYC a year ago and was literally *terrified* about finding a new brow person. Thankfully, she was the first person I went to (no horror stories here) and I couldn't be happier! If you're looking for full, natural, artfully done eyebrows to match your specific face shape, you just found your gal. read more

Amanda is a godsend. I have gone to her three times now, and each time, my brows are looking better and better. The initial appointment was a consultation, where she explained the best option for shaping of my brow - sounds crazy, but yes, everyone should know this going in to a brow wax, and so often, you just leave it in the hands of your aesthetician. After seeing the difference from going to Poe, I realize that I was just settling for basic, cleaned up brows before. Amanda KNOWS how to work a brow line! She is also super friendly, and helpful. She took the time to show me how to properly fill my brows with powder, and it looks so natural and better than I have ever been able to achieve in the past. My brows are pretty full, but the ends are starting to get thin, and she offered me some natural ways to stimulate hair growth that I am currently trying. I can't remember the last time I was this happy with my brows. Her shop is also very clean and welcoming. I am so happy that she has opened up so close to me - I hope she never leaves! read more

I've been to both Amanda and Mylissa. They are the cream of the crop when it comes to brows. I currently have standing monthly appointments with Mylissa and she never disappoints. I like that they are always on-time and have online booking. I would definitely refer this place, and it's so cute! I will be booking a facial really soon. read more

Mylissa is absolutely amazing. I followed her from San Francisco to her new studio in Walnut Creek because she is the best! She is knowledgeable, experienced and in addition to using the best skincare products from Dermalogica, she has an amazing technique in how she performs her facials. I highly recommend her! read more

Amanda is completely amazing as well as delightful. My brows have truly never looked better and with each visit we get closer to the long-term vision Amanda laid out at my appointment. Just wonderful. read more

Got a dermalogica 60 min facial from Ayda and loved the results! The facial itself was very relaxing and completely customized to my skin type. I left feeling glowy and fresh, I highly recommend it!:) all the artists are so sweet and loving I'll definitely be back:) read more

I cannot say enough good things about Amanda and her eyebrow waxing/shaping skills. Not only is she personable and sweet, but she is literally THE BEST at making brows look perfect and symmetrical. She knows how to add a little arch where there was none before (without overly thinning out the brows) and she has little tricks like plucking little tiny hairs from the top inside of my brows to give them the perfect shape. Please don't ever leave, Amanda! read more

Mylissa is Amazing! I had my first appointment with her today and can't wait till my next appointment. She listens to what you want and does what's best for you shape. Best brow place I've been to in a long time I left feeling like I have my brows back again. read more

Melissa is AMAZING!!!! She is so talented when it come to brows! I always get so much compliments on my brows! I will travel anywhere just to get my brows by Melissa! Please go see her you won't be disappointed! read more

after a botched brow job at another brow studio which will not be named, I went to Poe and saw Mylissa. Let me start by saying my brows look amazing! Besides the fact that she fixed my brows, she was super friendly and sweet, as well as made a point to explain to me her processes. Looking forward to coming back here, i'm so glad I found a place that I can trust with my brows! On a side note, the studio is gorgeously decorated and very clean. it's relaxing to be inside their shop! read more

I've been seeing Mylissa for almost a year now and there's no one else I trust to touch my brows now (I did get my brows done by Amanda, who also does an amazing job, but after several months with Mylissa, that's where my heart lies). This studio is pretty expensive compared to most other places, but their work is so precise and impressive that I don't mind paying a little extra for my monthly brow job. Mylissa has managed to give my brows a nicely defined shape, which are complemented by the brow tint I always book with my eyebrow shaping. Their awesome work, cute and clean studio, and friendly personalities make this place one of my beauty gems. Check them out if you can and you won't regret it! :) read more

First time with Amanda she was absolutely amazing she made me feel so comfortable.. felt as if I knew her for years!! Peaceful environment! Love my experience and eyebrows!! See you soon lady!! read more

Fantastic. She was very easy to talk to, knew what she was doing and they looked fantastic. Gonna make another appt before I leave town!!

I've been looking for an eye brow expert foreverrr! Mylissa is amazing! She really took her time to know my brows and perfect them. This will be my new go to brow studio. So happy I found them!! read more

Ayda was amazing! I was in a rush to get it done today and they gave me an appointment at 4 which worked perfectly with my schedule. I told Ayda that I just wanted to clean them and she did exactly what I expected! She went through what she was going to do before she started doing my eyebrows. I didn't feel any pain or swelling and my eyebrows look amazing. The studio looked so clean and nice as well. I'll definitely go back again! read more

OMG! But why am I just finding Mylissa! I am sooooo excited to say that I have found my brow lady FOR LIFE, hands down! I have never felt so comfortable with some one doing my brows. I have been getting my brows done since I was 11 (now 23) and I have always left with thin, unhappy brows but this is the first time that I can say THANKS FOR PERFECT BROWS! read more

I liked the space, the staff, their work. They did good work on my brows and it was very pain free. But I wasn't wowed by my brows afterward though. A bit too much make up and maybe a little thinning could be done in one spot, almost like the brows weren't even or matching. Perhaps it is a process though. Will update the review when I go back in a couple weeks for my second round. read more

I have been seeing Mylissa for a few years now (how time flies) My partner Jen and I make the trip from SF to Berk to get our eyebrows on point. It feels like we are seeing family and she's always so flexible and sweet and we are always over the moon with our brows. She's the best, the location is super cute and we are so happy to have found someone we trust with our thick Latina brows read more

This review is for Aida; I just had my second brow appt with her and I feel like I just went to the spa. I looked for the option for 50% tip at the end of the visit and it wasn't there so I'm writing this review instead. I love how my brows came out and have never had them done with such meticulous care and attention to detail. She waxed, trimmed, plucked and attended to every hair. All while have fascinating conversation, giving tips for my next vacation and connecting me to resources for my patients at my job. Deserving of all 5 stars! read more

Amanda is great! I'd been following her instagram for months before my schedule finally allowed me to see her! She's super clean and precise and very kind. Best brow waxing, brow shaping and brow tinting in town! read more

i randomly found Amanda on Instagram a year or so ago, right when i was in serious need of someone to reshape my brows and i've since followed her to Walnut Creek. she's the absolute best! we've been working on growing out my brows for a fuller/thicker look that works with the overall shape of my face and also getting them evened out. it's been slow for me, but Amanda has made them look fabulous throughout the process. i won't let anyone else touch my brows now, not even myself! aside from her brow/waxing/skin expertise, Amanda is such a pleasure to see regularly - she's very professional, but still warm and welcoming. it kind of feels like i'm just catching up with a good friend each session. you can tell she really loves what she does and genuinely wants to take good care of every single client she sees. i highly recommend her, but selfishly hope she doesn't get so busy that it becomes more difficult for me to get an appointment with her, lol! (but really, go see her - you won't regret it!) read more

I can't say enough good things about Amanda. I have very thin brows with no arch, I'm very picky about who does my brows as many people have messed them up. I completely trust Amanda. She is the BEST at what she does, not to mention very friendly and professional. I recommend her to all my friends and my clients. I love her new location in sola solans in walnut creek, very cute studio and conveniently located by lots of shopping. read more

Where do I even start? I found Amanda several years ago and have been going to her ever since. I'm extremely picky about my eyebrows and have had horrible experiences in the past. Amanda calmed all my nerves and made me believe in miracles. My eyebrows are not symmetrical and she makes magic and somehow fixes that. I would never ever go to anyone else as long as I live. read more

Amanda is thee BEST in the industry! She will teach you how to bring your brows back to life. But dont forget her FACIALS (heart, heart, heart) you'll walk with your face glistening because you"ve been touched by an angel . Check her out! read more

I will never get my brows done anywhere else!!! I have followed Amanda around to every studio she's ever worked at and will continue to be a loyal customer of hers. She makes the absolute best out of all types of brows and makes you feel like a queen, whether you're getting a brow touch up, tint, or facial, she puts in her all. This new space is beautiful yet cozy, with so much natural lighting. I'm one happy gal! read more
