I found Erika on Instagram after searching for months for a microblading artist in the Bay Area…read morethat I trusted. I got my brows done 2.5 years ago by a very high end NYC shop and was nervous to have anyone touch them since. Erika was gracious enough to work with me despite my existing brow work not being totally faded. She explained everything super clearly, from what technique was best to helping me choose the right color. We went with the machine method. The process was virtually painless and in a few weeks I had perfectly healed brows! She did even better than the past shop I went to in New York. And I felt very safe in her shop despite the pandemic. Do your research and go with Erika for your permanent makeup needs!

Went a few weeks ago for an…read moreappointment for a lash lift & eyebrow lamination.I've had several before and I was looking for someone new since I moved in town. This place had good reviews & definitely nice customer service inside. Unfortunately the product she put on my lash lifts did not work. I never had this problem, when she showed me there was a bit of a lift and it completely went away after she was done with my brows. I mention it to her & she offered to re do them but unfortunately I was out of town. She tried to reschedule me but honestly my lashes seemed already fragile so I just asked for a refund. She fully agreed & took responsibility saying it's a new product & she's not used to time difference. It took me a while to get a refund and I had to contact them again about it. When i did get it , it was only half of what I paid so I texted her. She said she couldn't give me the rest bc it's against policy , the system won't let her , & she needs to be paid for her labor. Mind you she gave me a full refund on an eyebrow wax bc she charged me even though online it says it's included. Not sure how she didn't know that was included. So if she could give that refund why not my last lift especially when it was user error. I work in this industry as well & being part of this industry you sometimes take loss on product and time but you need to take responsibility for your mistakes. They did offer $50 gift card but I would not like to go back because it obviously seems like they don't know what they're doing & should stick to services they do know which are eyelashes extensions.

Alix is a fantastic artist, this was my second time getting my brows done by her. The first time we…read moretook our time and brows came out perfect. After a couple tries of her trying to draw the template and it wasn't quite right, I asked if I could do the drawing and I ended up loving them! A few years later I was back and this time I figured it would be a breeze since the old tattoo was there as a template and I had drawn them to show Alix how I wanted them to look ( hair stroke into solid ) the first draw she did I asked her to redo and I said that "looked better" but they still looked off and for that I completely blame myself , I thought with the template of the old tattoo and coming in with my makeup on so she could see how I draw them, it would be good. Long short , it was a learning lesson not to ever underestimate a consultation. I ended up coming back in for a corrective tattoo which is better for sure, but I do wish we went lighter the second time so I could still do hair strokes with my pencil..falling short on consultation again. I realize mistakes happen and it's ok, but I have had the hardest time receiving correspondence from this artist. I've been left on read a couple times with no reply while dealing with the aftermath of the brows. I'm currently waiting for her to respond to a text I sent 7 months ago :( just asking for her to add a dab to the one that looks more square. She said I could reach out if they needed another adjustment. I've been very patient. Never got mad, never cried , nothing dramatic. Still leaving 5 stars for my girl, but I'm feeling overall underwhelmed with this experience especially the bad communication. The worst part is that I think about Alix every single morning when I pencil over these brows trying to make the most out of them, but my guess, I'm pretty far from her thoughts and it seems she has no intention of getting back to me.

In a newer location mid-town, Marie is a consummate professional and genuinely caring person. You will be hard pressed to find a better esthetician in Santa Cruz County. From the cozy bed, excellent products, and marvelous hands - this is the best place to get a facial. Are you getting married soon? I love her "wedding" facial I recently tried. I usually get a custom picked one based on her assessment of my skin and I always leave feeling refreshed and my skin glowing. When I waxed my eyebrows, she was the only one I trusted to shape them after I tried a "low cost" wax once. Not a product pusher or hard upseller to more expensive treatments, she make recommendations needed, but if you aren't interested, it's not a big deal or pressure to buy. I can't recommend her more highly! True pro and sweet person.

These ladies, like previous…read morereviews have said, are super sweet and fun and made me, my bridal party and my mom and step-mom feel gorgeous on my big day. Sarah Nicole had to navigate the young (one 13 year old), the older (me and my bridal party) and the wiser (all the moms). Everyone's make-up was spot on and age appropriate. She listened to everyone's needs and if someone wanted an adjustment, was totally open to making that happen. We all received so many compliments and I'm not sure I will look this good at any other time again in my life. Would totally recommend her to anyone - and I hope to get her down to LA someday to help work on some of my clients. Super professional with an amazing personality - you couldn't ask for a better pairing.

Theres no way she can justify that my hair was dead enough to warrant that bc i had gotten a haircut from her a couple months before and she noted I had very healthy hair.

I have been growing my hair for years and for her to cut it so that it is shorter than it was a whole year ago when i wanted half an inch of really sucks. Do not go to Judy if you Don't want her to cut multiple more inches than you ask for. I really thought she was a good hairdresser at first but now I have no trust in her and would not come back.
