I've been going to Josie for about 12 years now, and to say that she's phenomenal at what she does…read moreis an understatement. She always takes such good care of me, my brows, and my skin. I have pretty thick brows and I've always been very particular about them, but Josie is the only person I've ever trusted and have had confidence in doing them! In the past 12 years of my life, she is literally the ONLY PERSON who has ever touched my brows! Josie also does an amazing hydra-facial.

This place is a one-stop shop - they also do nails, waxing, facials, massage, and a "fassage" which is a 2 hour facial/massage combo.. definitely want to try that! If you aren't sure, just go for a consult.. worth the trip. :)

Dr. Fredrickson needs some serious bedside manner training. Her approach was aggressve, dismissive, interuptive and very ego driven. She wouldn't let me speak or tell her my experience with Shingles in my scalp and what do about it. I had a few questions but she interupted me several times and her M-O was "we're not communicating here" when I would try to ask her to explain. Frankly, I felt like she had no idea about Shingles at all and what it does to the scalp etc. She was a bully, and I am appalled at her demeanor. There was no after-care instructions either. I could go into much more detail as the whole visit and moments in that room with her was seriously unacceptable. If you are looking for answers to concerns over anything "dermatological" DO NOT see her! The staff was just fine and friendly, but literally after she was done zapping and proding I felt like I was being abused and I just wanted her away from me. She will never touch me again.

I welcome this change as Marin Beauty was not meeting my needs however Sonja certainly was and still is! I LOVE Studio 861! It's calm, soothing, open, airy, and welcoming; a little oasis on the quaint Grant Street. This salon fits Sonja's amazing personality and hair skills like a glove! Here are the reasons I am a Sonja Loyalist: -She's incredibly thorough, punctual, fair priced, open minded, into keeping up with current trends and styles through continued education and hair seminars. -She's flexible: Sonja has keys to the salon and can come in early and on Mondays, by appointment. -She takes walk-ins -She cares! She has zero ego and will listen to everything you want and need. What I like even more is that she will listen, be open minded but will also gently give her advice and expertise to give you your best look. Another reason to make an appointment immediately: -Sonja has a special going on for first time clients! Receive 25% off your 1st visit! You have nothing to lose, except gray hair, roots and dead ends! ;-) Thank you, Sonja!!

Laura is... one of my favorite humans now. I've been going to her for over a year now. I was going…read moreto a very highly regarded tox person down in the peninsula for years. and when she told me she couldn't do any more for my (very small) lips I was like 'this just feels crazy. i need to find someone new' and I found Laura. On my first appointment with her, she asked if my tox person had placed it in this certain spot to bring my brow tail up and out a bit and i was like 'WHAT?!? I don't think so?!? Please do that immediately!' lol And every time we do a little extra for my lips she listens to what I want and is conservative while GETTING that I do not look like a duck or have noticeable filler. When I showed her what I wanted more of from my bottom lip she did her thing and it came out exactly right. Do I have the lips of my late 80's, early 90's teen mag dreams? No because those giant puffy lips are not my genetics. HOWEVER... my lips are beautiful, natural looking and SO MUCH fuller and more visible than they were on their own. They are actually ideal and it took me decades to get here, but I'm here thanks to Laura. She also did an INCREDIBLE job with Sculptra (seriously, people that do heavy cheek filler are missing out) and I look at myself now like 'oh! yeah, THAT is what I look like'. I lost some weight over the last 3 years (naturally, slowly, but still) and with age on top of it, I realized i just didn't look like me anymore. I only needed 2 sessions of Sculptra and the memories of a sagging face are faded away. Laura isn't just highly skilled, she's wonderful, funny, real, grounded, and just a genuinely cool person. So grateful I found her.
