I absolutely love the services that this business has provided. I began SMP (Scalp…read moreMicropigmentation) with Chakay a couple months ago and it has been such a great experience. During my consult she explained the entire process and expectations and her level of professionalism was top tier. The overall experience has been life changing for me. I was always anxious and having self-confidence about my scalp and Chakay has helped me so much. The overall process is still ongoing but I couldn't have chosen a better person. I also began seeing Kimora as my new nail technician. She has such a great work ethic and takes her time in the work she does. I have gone to her that last three times and she has consistently kept our appointments and been great at communication. The overall experience here is great. Clean and professional office space with such a cute waiting area. I look forward to using some of the other services.

I want to be fair and detailed in this review, because my experience changed dramatically between…read moremy first and second appointments with Chakay Smith, owner and artist of The Aesthetic Bar. During my first appointment, Chakay Smith was warm, professional, and communicative. The mapping and shape of my eyebrows were done well, and I was included throughout the process. I was shown the design, asked for my input, and felt comfortable and heard. However, once the procedure was complete and I saw the final result, I was immediately alarmed by the color choice, which did not match what I requested or the reference photos we discussed. When I expressed concern, I was reassured that it could be corrected after the six-week healing period and was told, "It's better to correct something that's too light than too dark." While my trust was shaken at that moment, I gave the benefit of the doubt that the correction would be handled willingly. Later, I was informed that a $100 correction fee would apply. I explained that this was not a change of preference, but a color error. I was told customer satisfaction was the goal, and the fee was reluctantly waived. From the moment I arrived for the second appointment, Chakay Smith's demeanor was noticeably different. There was no warm greeting as before. Instead of being taken to the treatment room, I was instructed to remain in the front lobby while numbing cream was applied and told to wait 15 minutes. I waited closer to 30 minutes, while she disappeared into the back. When I was finally taken to the room, communication was minimal. There was no conversation, no check-ins, no mirror offered, and no engagement -- a stark contrast to the first appointment. She left the room multiple times during the procedure, and the overall atmosphere felt tense and unwelcoming. I felt as though my presence was unwanted. When the correction was finished, I was relieved and satisfied with the final color. Wanting to end on a positive note, I asked if I could hug her, and she agreed. Immediately afterward, she sternly pointed at me and the table and stated that any future corrections would require payment for her time, with no exceptions. That moment confirmed what I had felt throughout the entire second appointment -- a complete shift in demeanor from warm and professional to cold and punitive. This review is not about perfection or even the final result, which I am satisfied with. It is about how a client is treated when an issue arises, especially in a service where trust, comfort, and professionalism are critical. The contrast between the two appointments was significant and unsettling. I waited before posting publicly to allow the opportunity for this to be handled privately. I hope future clients receive not only skilled work, but also consistent professionalism and respectful treatment when corrections are needed.

Delmy was able to squeeze in an appointment for me during the week. It had been a couple of months…read moresince I was able to see her, but we pick up where we left off every single time. The wax service is pretty much painless and would regularly see Delmy every 6-8 weeks. Seeing how the shop is evolving is always so exciting, the interior is so flirty and pretty and I have always felt welcomed whenever I walk in. The salon also offers other services, so I would definitely inquire about those. Man-zilians are also offered by Bella. Please take advantage of the online booking system, there have been various times I have tried to make an appointment and Delmy is all booked. P.S. try the Chaton oils and face sponge! Thank you Delmy, for the professional and friendly experience every time.

After parking out back or out front after making an appointment, one is approached with ease and friendliness that helps make the appointment feel extra refreshing. Family I know who come here too, come regularly and agree that the treatments here are of amazing quality. From brows to facials and more, this is the place to go. It's worth checking out, and there is delicious food nearby, like China House and the cookie parlor. It's a very cute cat-themed shop with comfortable places to sit and books to read while you await your appointment. I do suggest people come check this place out and even try to spot some of the cat figures and statues and see how many you can find. Remember to listen to the aftercare tips and check out the aftercare shop! Call ahead and see if there's room for walk-ins too!

I texted Ningma on Wednesday requesting an appointment on Thursday and she responded in minutes that she had an opening on Thursday at 12:05pm. When I arrived expecting to have my eyebrows waxed, Ningma informed me that threading would be best. I informed her that I've never had threading done before and was a little scared. She assured me that she will be as gentle as possible and not to worry. She was absolutely right. She was very gentle and I did not feel any discomfort during the threading. It was a lot better than waxing. She has very good hands and made the process so easy and pain free. I'll never wax my eyebrows ever again. Her studio is very clean and private. Unlike the other places you see in the malls, where there is no privacy. If you are thinking about switching from waxing to threading go see Ningma at Moms Brows & Beauty Lab in downtown Pinole. You will not be disappointed. She is so sweet and kind. Highly recommend.
