So I don't like to post negative reviews, especially when I really enjoyed the person giving the…read moreservice, but I had to share my experience. Sofia was so sweet, and I really enjoyed our conversation! She was personable, could carry a conversation, very kind, if this review was based on service alone i'd give it 5 stars! Unfortunately, the problem came down to the actual lashes. I added a picture so you can see the problem. This photo was taken 3 days after getting the lashes. I've been getting lashed since I was 16 and have never had lashes applied like this. And that's not even the worst part! I woke up the next day, eyes blood shot. They were painful and swollen and nothing i did helped. I ended up shooting her a message, and she said it was likely just the eye pad being too far up my lash line. I also checked in with my doctor once my vision began to blurry. The doctor noted I was having an allergic reaction and chemical burns. I also had an optometrist look, who noted not only were my eyes burned, they were infected and leaking pus. This has never happened to me which was so disappointing because i loved the style of lashes Sofia did and I liked her as a person. I had to miss two days of work as a result of this and even when i returned I couldn't be in sunlight due to how sensitive my eyes were. Safe to say I won't be returning...

Shiori is my favorite lash lift beautician. I've been seeing her for a couple of years now and her…read moretools are best suited for my needs: natural and healthy. I've been to two other lash lift salons and they can never replicate what Shiori does: other salons have made my lashes fall off or it gets crusty. Whatever Shiori uses for her technique is honestly one of a kind. She's also a badass boss lady: loved her journey of leaving the corporate world to be an independent business owner, an inspiration for many. Give her a try if it's your first time getting a lash lift - she won't disappoint! The process is painless and takes about an hour. And try to book months in advance because she's super popular, will get booked up quickly.

I've received so many compliments on my skin since seeing her and following my custom skincare routine. The products she carries are top quality and definitely worth the investment. I've struggled with acne for nearly 20 years so it's been such a relief to have it under control. She's the best esthetician you'll find in the Ballard area, trust

Kali is super friendly, knows what she's doing and I always look forward to coming to see her! She's been doing my lash lifts and brows for over 6 months and I have nothing but great things to say about her!

She does my brow shaping perfectly and has a nice gentle Touch which doesn't come naturally to all esthetician's. I'm very happy with her tint she uses in comparison to others that have been used on me. She's a sweetheart on top if all that. I currently have a lash lady I have been going to for awhile now so I have not had the pleasure of trying out her lash services. She seems very knowledgeable well trained with multiple certifications. The supplies shes using are high quality. I can tell she takes her job seriously! I have her as my backup without a doubt. The place is INSIDE MOSAIC SALON GROUP.this means you can get other services there too like hair nails body waxing and perm makeup. I see Lisa Holloway for my hair there as well. Her studio is super cute, a bright naturally lit spot with lots if greenery. It is in a wonderful area of Ballard. Easy to shop and get coffee after. Super easy to get paid parking, free 2 hour on the block right next to it (on Vernon) Salon is kiddie corner from Olympic Athletic Club. Best of all though there is FREE parking in the garage just a half block up on Leary in Cavan station retail. It's easy to miss and If you pass the flashing cross walk and Edward Jones investments you will have to go around the block to get back to it. Saturday's it fills up but this weekday seemed fine!

Without a doubt Dakota is the best esthetician I know. I'm proud to have known her before she…read morestarted The Clean Esthetics, and to have seen her build this new successful business on her own. I used to see Dakota for regular sugaring when she worked at her previous employer in Greenlake, and before I left to live abroad. I always noticed that with her sugaring "technique" (maybe it was her quickness? or maybe magic?) it seemed to hurt less than with other estheticians I'd been to, and it helped that we always chatted throughout the appointments to make it less painful or uncomfortable. Now that I live out of the country I don't see Dakota on a regular basis, but while I was visiting Washington recently for Thanksgiving knew I had to go try a facial at The Clean Esthetics - and it was so worth it! My face was glowing afterwards and my skin felt more nourished than it had before. The space itself is beautiful and clean, and the atmosphere is calming. From now on every time I come to visit Washington I'll be booking an appointment with Dakota :) I would highly recommend a visit to The Clean Esthetics to anyone.
