I don't have to worry when I go to her for any waxing needs.

I also followed Amar from her previous location in Serramonte, which shows how much I trusted their work. However, over time I've noticed a decline in quality. I'm not sure if it's because they've built a loyal clientele or something else, but the attention to detail just isn't what it used to be. It's especially disappointing considering the prices have gone up. I completely understand inflation and don't mind paying more, but when prices increase, the quality should stay consistent or improve, not decline. I've since taken my business elsewhere. I'm paying more now, but it's worth it for consistent results and not having my eyebrows come out uneven.

This is how my eyebrows look after visiting Amar!

The receptionist does not know why the artist is doing so and said she will report it to the manager.

Her method not only helped reduce the inflammation immediately, but within days the my acne had fully resolved. That is not easy to do.

Helenette is the best make up artist. I went to the Mac Counter in San Mateo Nordstroms for my daughters wedding to do a pre trial on my makeup it was horrible. Then my niece referred me to Helenette she came to my house and my make up was awesome. She was so personable and so spot on. She did several ladies that and we came out so perfect.

When I get to her studio, her lash room was super cozy and warm which is fantastic and relaxing. She asked me what I wanted and listened to me ramble about this ideal set I wanted. She asked me about curl and length which I've never been ASKED by another artist, normally they just do and I inquire after what they used. I mentioned I specifically wanted my eyes more almond-y bc they're normally super round and I don't like it. SHE DELIVERED. the set is soooo cute. She said it was like. Kitten, Angel, something something but damn I am in love. I should've brushed them out prior to this photo but idc because they still look cute. My eyes have this nice slim look, which I've been waiting for someone to do. For some reason every artist does the same open eye doll like thing and super heavy, but not her!!!

I was able to book an appointment easily online and sent in a $40 deposit via Venmo to hold my appointment slot. Anh texts you instructions to get to the small private studio (1 bed, 1 client at a time). When you get there, dial 423 to be buzzed in. Thank you so much Anh for taking the extra time to detangle my lashes, work around the super long lengths that were left, and making sure the new fill looked very even and filled the gaps as closely as possible. It's difficult for a lash technician to do foreign fills and some won't do them at all, and Anh did a great job of being gentle with my natural lashes. I asked for my previous artist to put 12mm lashes on, but Anh let me know that she had actually put on 14-15mm, which is why the old extensions were so heavy and long on my natural lashes. I asked for her to do 9-12mm light wispy volume fill ($165 before tip - $115 for light volume fill, plus $25 for foreign fill, plus $25 for wispy, minus $40 from deposit) from inner to outer corner, and the new lashes were so light I couldn't believe how great they looked when I opened my eyes. She had such a gentle hand and is so quiet that I fell asleep, and since I prefer not making conversation that was perfect for me. It's been almost a week, and only a few fans have fallen out (the natural process of lashes falling out) so retention looks to be pretty good. I'm glad to have found a lash artist close by who has a light hand, great work, and is very professional. Looking forward to getting more fills and full sets.
