I had such a wonderful experience working with Pace for both my civil ceremony and wedding banquet,…read moreand I would absolutely use her again! From the beginning, Pace was communicative and clear about what she needed from me to understand my vision. The hair and makeup trial was such a great experience - I felt comfortable throughout, and it was clear that she was being thoughtful and intentional about understanding what I liked (and didn't like) about the looks we tried. Pace was punctual for every session, and the hair and makeup on the actual event days aligned beautifully with what we discussed and worked through during the trial. She was open, listened to my feedback, and made me feel like I could really trust her to bring my vision to life. She gave me exactly the look I was hoping for: natural, but elevated and polished. And the hair and makeup stayed completely intact throughout both events, which was especially impressive given how warm it was! I'm so glad I found Pace and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for hair and makeup for a wedding or special event. She's talented, thoughtful, communicative, and just genuinely wonderful to work with.

I highly recommend Pace for wedding day makeup. It lasted the entire 10 hours (could probably go…read moreeven longer) with no touch ups needed! The hair also stayed put in the San Francisco wind during my ceremony. Pace is super meticulous with face makeup it looks airbrushed and her color matches are on point. For the hair I showed her inspo pictures and she nailed it perfectly. She is also responsive to feedback; I did a trial with her first and told her what I wanted to change and she executed it perfectly on the day of and made tweaks in real time when I asked for it. I highly recommend booking her as your wedding day hmua if you like long lasting natural makeup that is suitable for Asian features (double eyelid tape if needed; meticulous falsie application).

After about 6 months after my first haircut with her, and the tips she's provided, my hair is low key thriving! Let's start off with location... She's located downtown Hayward off B Street. Although, parking kinda sucks, and it is the Main Street with so many cars, her place is so cute! Inside her place, there plenty of seating, and a lot of chairs available. For the most part, whenever I go see her, I'm probably the only other client inside - just incase you guys get nervous for Covid reasons. Nancy is so welcoming. She starts off asking you what you want to do with your hair, and she observes and starts framing your face to see if you would like it and gives out suggestions as needed. Then she washes your hair, and then she begins the cut. She's so knowledgable in the industry. She given me helpful advice on how to maintain my hair. For reference, I've always had to wash my hair daily because it's always getting so oily. So she's given me tips on how to prevent it. And after 6 months of following tips, and seeing what works for me, my hair is fuller, healthier, and thriving as I've mentioned. She also sells products in house just in case you want to obtain professional items. I highly recommend her. You won't regret it.

Decided to go lighter for summer and got "the works" which was a full balayage lightener and toner along with a cut.

Naz is a true professional, working quickly and telling me exactly what she was doing. After I booked, Naz reached out to introduce herself and ask if I had an inspo pics. She reassured me and set expectations right of the bat. She's an absolute delight and can't wait to go back!

I never had to deal with it, so I am now going to see Karah to help me get back on track. She is full of so much information. It never feels like she is judging you for not knowing something. She is willing to teach you to how to care for your face. She is brutally honest about what she can and cannot do. She warns you about any upcoming discomfort and checks to make sure you are comfortable. As soon as I walked in, she gave me a hug and made me feel extremely welcome. She tries to get to know you and asks you questions to make you feel like friends/family. I highly recommend Karah. After my first facial, I am definitely going to be a loyal customer. I have a few more procedures lined up, but even after that I will continue to visit. My face feels amazing after one facial.

She takes the time to consider your skin tone and natural hair color to achieve the best, most flattering results. She even convinced me to step out of my comfort zone and try fashion colors--the outcome was beyond incredible! Her haircuts are always tailored to complement the shape of your face, and her knowledge is unmatched. As an educator, Sabrina is constantly on top of the latest product technology. It took some time, but she convinced me to stop using drugstore brands and switch to products that are not only better for my hair but also last longer. Beyond her skills, Sabrina has become an amazing friend over the years. Her vibe is super fun and down to earth. Anyone in the area would be lucky to have her as their stylist.

I was searching for A-lines online, and this one photo kept on popping up. An A-line that had the perfect high low, great shape, styled beautifully, nice highlights (or balayage, I don't know what I'm talking about). I just had to find the person that created this piece of art I kept gravitating to. Come to find out, it was Cristina and she's local. Once I found her I thought "YES, I will make an appointment for THIS WEEK... She was booked 2 months out. WHAT DO I DO NOW?? I waited... On the day of my appointment I was nervous. But once you start talking to Cristina, it's like talking to one of your homies. She's so easy to talk to. I told her what I wanted. And seeing how the cut was going to be a pretty dramatic change she took me through it step by step before making the cut. She never once asked me, "Are you sure you want to do this?" Although I am sure she thought it. We had some great conversation. And I left with a haircut I absolutely LOVE!! She was/is the perfect person for the job. I have had so many compliments on my hair. I love the way it feels, especially after leaving her chair. She uses some good stuff! I also leave her salon feeling really happy. I truly enjoy my time with her. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Cristina. She does wonderful work (check out her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tinarizala_/), and is always keeping herself on the top of her game. Everyone needs a Cristina in their life.

I've tried high end spots in the Bay Area to small, local ones. I have never labeled any of them 'my favorite' until now. I've had about 5 sessions with Neng so far. The most recent facials I've had with her was the dermabrasion facial with a jelly mask. This is super relaxing and my face is smooth and tight when she is done with me. We have been trying out different things due to my skin being so sensitive. Let me say, she is PATIENT and super chill. I usually ask hella questions, but she explains everything she is about to do and also explains why. I also can't just use any product on my face or else I will break out into hives. She did not push one product on me. I've had places basically force me to buy things I really didn't need. So that was a plus! I'm going back to get my lashes done for my daughter's wedding in a few months. She did a few of my friend's lashes and they were all on point! Neng is basically a one stop shop. Highly recommend!
