I've been on the hunt for exactly what Fabiola (an actual licensed esthetician - swoon) at BB did: assess the facial shape, draw some lines before removing anything, and offer multiple opportunities for feedback and tweaking (I had no notes, she nailed it). I booked online which was a breeze. Paperwork when I arrived took just a few minutes, and I was glad to see them ask the questions they did before any treatments. Parking in this part of LJ can be tricky depending on day/time so plans for that. Fellas: stop tweezing that crooked mess your ex-gf "shaped" for you and visit Fabiola.

I didn't have my contacts in , so I couldn't see clearly why the right lashes are shorter and I trusted her explanation even though I sleep on the left side mostly . Once I was able to see properly it was obvious my lashes were noticeably shorter because they are bent and over permed on the right eye . What upsets me most is that she noticed the damage before I did, yet blamed it on me instead of taking accountability and being honest. UPDATE in response to the owner: You obviously did not look at the photos I uploaded. I am not referring to the natural length of my lashes. The photos show that the lashes on my right eye are bent, overly curled and over-processed My concern is the condition of the lashes after the service. As for contacting you first, I'm not sure what could have been done to safely correct already over-permed lashes without risking further damage. You're blaming the victim here, whixh is not a good look . take accountability and learn from your mistakes.

After I got my first set of lashes done in San Francisco. It wasn't even a week yet and they…read morestarted to look a lot thinner. I found this place on Yelp and decided to set up an appointment. I told Fria that I got a natural set of lashes (every other lash had an extension) and that I wanted a fuller look. After explaining to her what I wanted, she knew exactly what would fit the built of my lashes. I am so happy how they turned out!!! I was a bit anxious about the adhesive because I had a pretty bad tearing reaction when I got them done in San Francisco. But the adhesive that Fria uses gave me no tearing or sensitivity at all!! Even though I just got my lash extensions done in San Francisco, Fria informed me that most of my lash extensions were grown out and sparse. So she had to remove some of them and it was completely painless! Here is a list to why I gave this place five stars -easy to make an appointment - reasonable prices (also the $119 promotion for any type of lash extensions is a great deal) - the adhesive does not harm or irritate my sensitive eyes - Fria is very quick and gentle on my lashes - clean place - they use faux mink lash extensions that feel so light and comfortable (doesn't even feel like I have them on) - the protection pads they use for my under eyes during application peeled off very easily after I was finished with my session. - My lashes look so natural, full, and are exactly what I wanted. - they tell you what kind of adhesive they use (cyanoacrylate). Unlike the lash extension place in San Francisco who told me they don't give out the name or ingredients used in their adhesive. It has been about 10 minutes since my application and so far I feel no sensitivity. My lashes feel as light as a feather. As opposed to my first set of lashes, which gave me immediate discomfort and a "dry-eye" feeling. If you are ever in San Francisco, don't go to LASH LAb despite their reviews. The Pretty Box gives you the lash extension experience that you should have. No discomfort, lashes that suit your eye shape and lash built, and quick application ( it didn't even take an hour for my full set of lashes). Thank you Fria! I'm definitely going to make an appointment with you soon again!

But that doesn't change anything on what it says about this studio. As a woman that never does her nails/lashes or treatments, I feel welcomed like a queen every-time I step into this place, and taken care of. If not for the quality, the atmosphere will right away confirm that you've stepped into a place that'll take the best care of you. And it again didn't disappoint. I asked for "cat eye extensions", and have never had my look so beautified before! I even got to learn more about the quality of their products: the eyelash glue was developed by the owner, Danielle, so your lashes resist better to the water, sleeping on your face or other obstacles that usually peel them off. The prices absolutely match the results, and you can be assured that regardless of whom will take care of you, any employee there will make it a pleasant experience. Side note: it only took 1h30 for the lashes you see in the photo. My lashes look so natural, and three days later I can assure you that they still look as beautiful, from an to pm. Thank you ladies (and gentleman), for always giving me the best natural look and pleasant time!

Unfortunately, this was my second disappointing experience, and this time was much worse. I noticed right after I left that my nails didn't look great, but I definitely didn't expect them to start chipping the same day.

After only a week, I ended up going back to my regular nail salon to have the entire gel manicure redone because the quality just wasn't there. I don't usually leave negative reviews, but I was really disappointed, especially after giving this salon a second chance. I was hoping to find a great local spot, but unfortunately this wasn't it.

My skin has changed so much since getting Johanah's advice. I am forever grateful for her expertise, and will never go to anyone else with skin concerns. The products she recommends aren't crazy expensive either! She's approachable, knowledgeable, and so down to earth. Everything you could want in an esthetician. She takes great care to follow up with her clients and is so excited for them to see results too! 10/10 recommend. I can't thank you enough Jo! read more

I am not exaggerating when I say coming into her office was one of the best decisions in my life. She has 100% changed my skin. I don't even wear makeup to work now. My confidence has re gained, and Brittany has not only guided me through my skin care journey, but became one of my friends as well. She had changed my life, and I could not recommend her more to anyone struggling with acne.

If you are like me and have tried everything and nothing is working for your acne, please, give BLH a try, you will never regret it.
