I met Helenette back in 2013ish at the Benefit Brow Bar in Ulta San Bruno. She also did my makeup for my graduation in 2014 (which btw - everyone loved.) I got a lot of compliments with it, and some of my friends would often refer back to the look I had then. I love her energy and also just how warm and friendly she is to her clients. I often go back to her for eyebrow wax even when she left Benefit, moved to South San Francisco, and then now in Millbrae. She's the only one I trust to touch my brows! :) I tried going to other brow artists just because I moved to another state and I didn't have the liberty to fly every month to have my brows done in the West Coast from the Midwest. I was always skeptical of other people touching my brows. I know it will grow out anyway in a couple of weeks, but still. Helenette has this special touch to have your brows on fleek. I'm so happy that I can always go to her now with me being back in the Bay Area. It's actually one of the things I missed living in another state. Because of course, there's only one Helenette! ;) I love this girl so much, that I did recommend her services and expertise to one of my friends when she got married 3 years ago. Helenette is the best! You will not regret having her as a brow whisperer. She also magically makes you look like a decent human being with her makeup skills. read more

Eyebrows gods have blessed me with Helenette. Her booking system is super easy and accessible to change or schedule appointments. The prices are really good and even if she raised them I would be glad to pay $50 for brows! She literally saved my eyebrows before they were going to become bald haha. My shape is now amazing and she never shames me for when I accidentally overtweeze because sometimes she gets booked up quick! My eyebrows were 27 going on 29 and now they're 20 going on 21! I love them and I love her, shes so efficient, quick and also easy to talk to. Very painless process! read more

First time customer review! From Santa Clara and due to our county having high numbers and my original eyebrow spa is now closed forever, I knew I had to find someone new even if that meant driving far. I left it up to yelp reviews with lots of research, came across Helenette decided to give it a try. I have fully thick natural shape eyebrows and it's difficult to find a specialist and I'm so happy I know this place. Very happy customer who will be returning!! For COVID-19 protection schedule online and on the day of your appointment they will text you to stay in your vehicle and then notify you when it's safe for you to come in. Everything is cleaned and completely safe! read more

Studio Helenette - Full clean eyebrows! My new favorite eyebrow specialist - Makeup Artists Near Me - Daly City, California

Helenette is my brow QUEEN! I have never gone to anyone else after seeing the work she consistently performs on my brows. I'm super picky when it comes to anything on my face, but she has my full trust! Her location is now in Burlingame at Shear Magic Salon. Literally right next to Barrel House and across the street from Royal Donut. In front of the Salon, there are street/metered parking spots, if not, there are parking lots the next block down that could make it less than a 5 minute walk. She is super sweet, and what I love is how honest she is. She makes sure you're not walking out of the salon with your brows looking all crazy! No, no, no! She WILL NOT let that happen. She takes her time, and is the best to have conversation with! When it comes to COVID protocols, there is temperature check in front of the salon with hand sanitizer that is offered. She also wears her mask while doing work. Aside from waxing, she also offers lash lift services, make up services, bridal services, brow lamination, and also added a new Brow Nano service! LOVE IT ALL! She's just overall amazing! Totally recommend to ANYONE! read more

Studio Helenette - Brow Wax - Makeup Artists Near Me - Daly City, California

Had to find a new brow gal and based on reviews I decided to make an appointment with Helenette:) I've found my new brow gal! I now have perfectly shaped brows that I am very happy with! I'll definitely be booking my next appointment soon! Prices are super reasonable too which is a plus in Burlingame!! read more

This review is long overdue. Helenette is truly the brow god. I discovered her about 5 years ago through Yelp after having a horrific brow waxing experience elsewhere..Before going to her, I would have to tell the aesthetician the shape I want and have to worry about if they're ripping all my hairs off. Not with Helenette. I sit back, relax and let her work her magic. She also offers other facial waxing services, brow tints, makeup application. Also a complimentary brow wax during your birthday month! Every brow deserves Helenette. read more

I hate that I have to share Helenette with the world but I can't help but boast about this talented woman! I've followed her to 3 different salons, and soon the 4th, I still refuse to see anyone else for my brows! My brows are complicated and very sparse so one wrong pluck and it's game over. Never an issue with Helenette! She always has me leaving the salon wanting to come back! Her new location is so convenient so come see the brow master! You won't regret it! read more

This girl is just amazing ! Not only does Helenette have a great personality but she makes you feel beautiful and loving yourself. I always recommend her to other people but might have to stop otherwise I don't get any spots! Just kidding! Seriously book this girl! read more

After only going to the same person since I was 19 yrs old it has been hard to trust my eyebrows to anyone else. I moved to the Bay almost 9 yrs ago and it was time to find someone new. Helenette is amazing. She is very friendly and did an amazing job with my brows. I have found my new eyebrow whisperer. read more

Helenette is the ONLY person I trust with my brows!! My eyebrows are not as full as I wish they could be, but Helenette works her magic with the brows I do have and shapes them just perfectly! Not only is her work amazing, but so is her personality. I definitely recommend, you will not be disappointed. read more

Amazing! I hadn't had the brows waxed in over a year due to COVID and my former brow artist became a COVID business victim. Helenette was very patient with me, listened to what I wanted to avoid and did a fantastic job. Her workspace is clean and she is very talented - so glad I found her! read more

Have you ever met someone and automatically felt a connection? Yes! This is how I felt with Helenette. She made me feel so comfortable and her work was impeccable. I came in for a wedding consultation and showed her some pics in advance and she exceeded my expectations. I loved the questions she asked me such as "What makes you feel beautiful?" Hairstyle/makeup-wise. I realize no makeup/hair artist has ever asked me that? I mean, how true can that be? Made perfect sense that what hairstyle/makeup was comfortable to me would make me feel beautiful? When I asked her for smoky eye/natural/day time wedding look, she made me look very beautiful (is that me?) but still look like myself. I'm very grateful that I was referred to her and will more than likely hire her for future events. I am very loyal to my current wax person, but I may have to cheat! She is truly a professional and genuinely sweet. Such a gem! read more

My eyebrows are a complete dream thanks to Helenette!! I went to this place years ago (I won't say their name) and they ripped my eyebrow apart for years Helenette worked on my eyebrows to get them to where they should be but the scar was deep so I took the leap and had Helenette do nano blade brows... lots Jesus I have never been so happy to look at my face!! They are absolutely perfect!! Look so natural no one believes that they are nano bladed! Natural is huge for me because I don't wear makeup!! Thank you Helenette!! Brow God! read more

Saw Helenette for the first time yesterday! My usual eyebrow lady gets booked super fast and I was in a dire need to find someone. So glad I gave Helenette a try because she is amazing! As an Asian female, I am cursed with straight, barely there eyebrows. I told Helenette that I went to European Wax Center two weeks ago and they completely messed up my left brow. Left me with no arch and a patch of hair missing! She took off my brow fillings and immediately gave me her game plan. She was really confident in giving me the high arch that I like. Her personality was so warming that I felt like I knew her for a long time! The end product was exactly what I hoped for. High arch and full brows. LOVEEEE it! read more

Since my usual brow lady was out of town, I wanted to get my brows done last minute and needed to find someone that had availability before the long Memorial Day weekend. I know a few people who are regular clients with Helenette. So, I decided to book a same day appointment with her for a brow and lip wax. My brows hadn't been groomed in a while and I'm usually hesitant to go to someone new because my left brow hairs grow upward and most people don't know how to approach the situation. But, I couldn't be more happier with Helenette's expertise! I told Helenette that I wanted a higher arch and more definition. She told me how she was going to shape my brows and I loved how my brows turned out! She also showed me how to fill them in and they look better than ever. I highly recommend Helenette! She's great at what she does and she's so friendly and easygoing too. Her online booking system is so convenient as well. I'm glad I took the chance and trusted her with my brows and now she's gained a regular client! read more

My girlfriend introduced me to Helenette. I am definitely a fan!!! She is AWESOME!!!!! read more

She is amazing!!! Don't even think about it, just book your appointment. Helenette is very professional, never late, clean and always welcomes you with the biggest smile. I always leave her studio feeling and looking great. What else is there to ask?! Strongly recommend read more

She really gets what I want and need. Love the service and results, I've gotten makeup and hair done. I love the results and my people were impressed. read more

I drive from South San Jose up to Helenette to do my brows. She's the ONLY person I trust to do my brows. When I lived in the east bay I would travel to see her too and I've even driven up from LA to see her. Yes, she's that awesome. From makeup, to hair to eyebrows she's a one stop shop. I will be very sad when I move back to LA because I'm not brave enough to find anyone else. Ill have to come up once a month or so and have her tame my beastly eyebrows though...because I can't trust myself with my eyebrows :( read more

Have you ever found someone in the beauty industry who moved from store to studio to salon, and their services were worth following? Luckily in my case, Helenette moved closer to my home, but I'd have followed her no matter where she relocated in the bay area. I've entrusted my brows to her expert hands for two years now, from the Benefit Brow Bar in Tanforan to Colma to her current location on Grand Avenue. I never thought to spend the money and time to have my eyebrows shaped, and I'm grateful that a friend of mine had her brows done months before my first visit so I had time to stare at how well hers looked. On top of how great she shapes brows, she's fun to boot. It's always fun to catch up with her in your 20-minute appointment. And the salon space is next to a creperie, Indian restaurant, and brewery. Winwinwinwin. #helenettedoesmybrows read more

Long over due review. Helenette is amazing!!! She's the eyebrow queen!! I only trust Helenette with my eyebrows and eyelashes. I highly recommend her for eyebrows, eyelash lifts and makeup! She has a great personality and makes you feel comfortable. Make you reservation today!!! read more

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GIRL. I've been getting my brows done from her since she was at Ulta San Bruno and I can't go back! I've been scared of some waxing places because I got it waxed pencil thin one time but Helenette talked me through how we can rebuild the shape to something I love! She's very knowledgeable about her line of work and is very considerate on what you're looking to achieve. read more

Got my eyebrows done here for the first time let me say Helenette was super Nice and her Customer Service is amazing She explains to you step by step what she is going to do and i have to say I am super happy i found her she is the best definitely would recommend anyone else to come here !!!!! read more

Helenette is amazing and truly an eyebrow master. Her station is impeccably clean and organized, she's friendly, professional and turned my eyebrows out. She waxed and tinted them and it was more than I could've imagined. Also her online appointment scheduling is easy and convenient. I recommend Helenette to anyone looking for an eyebrow specialist. read more

I have been going to Helenette for about 5 years and now have followed her to 5 diff salons- she is SO worth it! She is always so friendly and she is definitely the only person I trust with my brows! I did my nano blading with her over two years ago and it still looks great, see her monthly for brow waxing, have gotten my makeup done by her for events, and recently started doing lash lifts every two months with her-- everything is great! She is the best!! read more

I was lucky enough to stumble across Helenette at Ulta in San Bruno and have not stopped seeing her since, following her to Ulta in Coma and now here. I live all the way in Redwood City and its not always easy to get out to see her and have tried other waxers closer to home but none compare or did a good a job as Helenette! So I have vowed to not let anyone else touch my brows EVER AGAIN! She is worth the 30+ minute drive with a toddler and newborn in tow Yeah she's that awesome and good at what she does. She is also an amazing make up artist. She did an AMAZING JOB for my wedding. She is the sweetest person you will ever meet as well it's always fun talking up a storm when she's working on your brows. I'm glad she ventured out on her own and wish her nothing but success with her career. read more

Once Helenette unleashes her make-up artistry on you, you will not allow anyone else near your face! One of her specialities is eyebrows~ she didn't get the nickname "the brow whisperer" for nothing.

She's done my mother's makeup and also my daughter's make-up for dances and her Senior portraits. If you need someone who can tame any face and make you feel "Flawless"~ go see Helenette! read more

Havent gotten my brows done in over a year (due to covid). Helenette shaped them perfectly! She will now be my new go-to for brows!

I usually drive to San Mateo or Berkeley to get my brows done but found Helenette on Millbrae so I gave her a go and I am so glad I did. She's easy to book and her prices are reasonable. Since I got my brows done, I don't even fill them in 'cause somehow she made then look fuller. I am obsessed! read more

I've been going to Helenette for 6 years now and not ONCE has she ever failed me. My eyebrows always turn out perfectly! I started seeing her at only 15 years old and she has preserved my eyebrows to still be thick as they are naturally but perfectly shaped and cleaned up. I can't imagine going to see anyone else! read more

Helenette is amazing! She gave my daughter age appropriate and natural looking brows and made her first experience great! Thanks Helenette!

Helenette is AMAZ-Balls! I looked her up after my co-worker told me how good she was and that her sister would travel a good 30 minutes to go see here. She takes her time, doesn't rush you and listens to what you want. read more

Helenette is awesome! Never going anywhere else to get my brows done. She's great at what she does and is a very cool person to boot!

Helenette did the makeup for my wedding for me, two bridesmaids, and my flower girl and also did my hair and flower girl hair. I am beyond impressed by Helenette's professionalism and knowledge. I did a trial run and she provided input on how to style my hair for it to look best with my dress and veil and did "natural" looking makeup on me. I have never had my hair and makeup done and was super impressed! Before the wedding we worked on a timeline for the wedding day based on photography and wedding start time. She showed up to the hotel with everything she could possibly need! My girls and I looked amazing, you seriously cannot go wrong in hiring Helenette for you wedding hair & makeup! read more

This girl is absolutely phenomenal!! Helenette is definitely a gem in this industry!! Thank you for making my brows look so fabulous! I especially appreciate her letting me book an appointment SO early to accommodate my schedule! You are the best Helenette!! read more

Words cannot even begin to describe how much Helenette has upped my brow game. Your first appointment will include a brow consultation where she really listens to how you want your brows to look. Then you walk out 20 mins later slaying like a queen. Her online appointment system is super easy to use, and there's never a wait when you arrive. Bushy brows, pencil brows, long brows, short brows, high arch, flat line, Helenette has got you, baby boo. read more

Being the procrastinator that I am, I put off getting my eyebrows done for a vacation until the absolute last day. I called my usual brow person in Pacifica only to find out that they were on vacation! Being extremely picky about who I will allow to do my brows, I panicked and started asking friends who I should go to. They all do threading (I'll pass) and I was stuck in freak-out mode. After a few minutes of panic, I texted my bros gf as she had once mentioned Helenette to me. I thought this was the perfect opportunity to pay her and her shop a visit. Made a reservation online **super easy** and was seen by her the next day. Helenette did an AMAZING job with my brows! I love that she knows how to keep them on the thicker side and still perfectly shaped. She told me that the previous person who had done them actually took too much off one of my eyebrows, and had it look a little thinner than it should have been. Price-wise, Helenette is a little on the higher-end ($20), but for such a good reason. She knows what she is doing and works to ensure that your brows come out looking perfect. I will most definitely be coming back to her for all my future last minute brow appointments. read more

Thanks to Helenette, I no longer have fear of my eyebrows coming out looking like i Just got a fade..She gets my eyebrows perfect all the time (not too thin, just right with a medium arch), and my eyebrows are no joke (it grows in different directions). I only trust Helenette with these unruly brows, she knows what she's doing! #eyebrowgamestrong because #helenettedoesmybrows read more
