A good friend referred me to Colourbum and Alexis after I'd been allowing random people at nail…read moresalons to butcher my brows for the last couple years. I knew from how my friend's brows looked that I was going to be in good hands, and I was not disappointed. Alexis put. in. work and meticulously removed hair from where it didn't belong and helped devise a plan for getting hair back where it had been overplucked. I was VERY pleased when I left and will definitely be returning as a regular client. On a side note her studio space is not only warm, welcoming, clean, and comfortable but also just absolutely STUNNING.

I just left Colourbum and I'm just in total bliss! Alexis was attentive, informative, educational,…read morefriendly, and sooooo detailed! I've been to every slow, and speedy waxing location you can think of and I've had hard, soft and sugar wax applied; nothing has come close to Colourbum! I walked in and was greeted with a smile, I waited about 10 seconds before Alexis came to get me. The space was beautifully decorated with just the right amount of glitter, and hues of blues to put even the manliest of dudes at ease. After a pleasantly brief introduction I climbed atop the mermaid table; no amount of preparation could've paved the way for my experience. The wax was not too hot, the hand was not to heavy, I could've stayed longer if she let me. This was my first time with Colourbum so I was a little nervous but by the time I left it felt like I'd known Alexis all my life. I'm really picky bc I had the same "wax lady" for years, I'm so glad I made the switch and I can't wait to go back. I walked in feeling like a wild animal, I walked out clean as a whistle. Speed waxers will tell you that the first time back after a hiatus simply cannot be as thoroughly executed, but there's not a hair to be found ANYWHERE!' From the service list to the wall accents, Colourbum stands out above all the rest. You won't be disappointed!! PS. There's plenty of parking on the street but Wednesday between 11 & 1 is Street sweeping right in front...

Deirdre completely changed my skin (for the better!!!) When I first started seeing Deirdre, I was…read moresuffering from severe acne and bumps all over my face. After about 3-6 sessions, my skin was noticeably clearer, and after around 10-12 sessions my skin was completely smooth and break-out free. Not only did Deirdre use some of the best brands (murad, PCA, dermalogica), but she talked me through each step as she was putting masks/cleaners on my skin. I also enjoyed that she didn't use products that contained essential oils or scents, as they can be quite irritating for some skin types. The products she recommend were amazing as well and worked perfectly in my skin care routine, which I still follow 5 years later. It's a shame I don't live in the Bay Area anymore, or I'd be a regular customer again!

In addition, the staff at the Beauty Center where she is located are knowledgable, friendly and very service-oriented. I receive many compliments on how great my skin looks, from men and women alike - and I credit Deirdre's expert advice for the positive results. She helps me manage my skin (now mature), waxes my face and eyebrows, and teaches me how to enhance my assets with advice on makeup application. Deirdre keeps in touch with new developments in her profession. She doesn't just stick to one skin care routine or make up style/color for me - she frequently recommends different skin care or make up products as I am ready to replenish my supply so that I have the opportunity to try something different and often times better. I hired her to to do makeup for my wedding because I knew she would help me look my best; my sister looked fabulous too! Deirdre is tactful, professional and very competent. She stays on schedule so that you don't have to wait very long (a few minutes) to be seen once you arrive at your appointed time and, in turn, is appreciative to clients who are punctual. She is my secret weapon for looking as good as I can for as long as I can.

Absolutely ridiculous. Look at what my first experience looked like and how FULL AND CUTE my…read moreeyebrows were. MY ENTIRE eyebrow end is GONE?!! I asked for a clean up. Keep thick and full and said this multiple times before and even during the service twice and she gives me the mirror after she's done and I'm horrified. I was like okay so I need a discount or free charge and she was like okay you have to come back Feb 6 and ask the manager and I was like 0% of that makes sense. Who said that day works for me, how would the manager know if she wasn't informed by u guys....and why would I need my eyebrows done aGAIN now that I have to wait MONTHS to get these suckers to grow back in again like literally do not trust these people. So ridiculous

This was the best/most painless experience I've had in a while and I really appreciated that they were patient when I asked for small corrections afterwards. They ask if you'd like aloe vera and they also do a tiny light massage on the brows afterwards. Highly recommend! They'll ask if you want a punch card and the 6th (or 7th) visit will be free :)

I went for the first time a couple of weeks ago and got the green goddess peel and I was looking so rejuvenated and glowy after my skin had peeled and new skin had grown. The owner, Brigitta also is super knowledgeable and throughout my entire facial experience, I was able to consult her and ask for advice on skincare and she answered all my questions. She also told me that because I have a solid skincare routine, I don't really need more facials than once a quarter. Many skin care facialists (is that a word?) would tell you to come back at least once a week to keep business. I honestly have nothing but amazing things to say about Brigitta and her business!
