Makeup in Anaheim

“I can’t begin to explain how great Daren is! This review is very long overdue, but I’ve been coming to Daren for almost 3 years now. I remember when I first came to Daren, I got a lash lift and tint which I was extremely satisfied with considering I have short lashes. The process was fast and she was super gentle with my eyes/lashes. Daren made me feel comfortable and even put soothing music to help me relax (she always does and asks if you prefer to listen to a specific music playlist). I remember while she was doing the lash lift, she complemented my eyebrows and their shape and suggested I would be a great fit for ombré brows (one of the permanent makeup services she offers). I was extremely hesitant because to be quite honest, the idea of getting permanent makeup scared me at that time. But she gave me more information about it and answered any questions I had. I ended up going home to think about it and ended up booking an appointment a couple of days later for her ombré brows service. I was also super particular with my eyebrow shape since this was one of the first few times I was trusting someone with my brows (I never let anyone pluck or thread them, I always did it myself). Daren encouraged me to come in with my brows drawn in how I like them. She then shaped them to be more symmetrical and natural looking based on how I had my brows shaped. She even showed me how they looked and asked if there was anything I would like to change. Before she started the procedure, she showed me the needles she would be using and showed them being in an unopened sterile package. During the procedure, she first outlines the brows before applying the numbing cream. I felt absolutely no pain during the outlining. I felt more pain/stinging when she applied the numbing ointment which is normal due to having already outlined them and the skin being open. From there, she let the numbing cream take effect and started the filling process. Be prepared to be there for about 2-3 hours if this is your first time or if you’re getting a color correction. During the procedure she kept asking me how I was doing and if the numbing cream was wearing off (so she could apply more) and really made me feel comfortable throughout the procedure. Fair warning, at the end of the procedure you're eyebrows will look bold and dark, but it's absolutely normal and part of the process. They will also feel a little tender after the numbing cream wears off and will be a little red. Keep in mind that with the ombré brows, a follow up retouch is may or may not be needed depending on how your eyebrows healed/skin absorbed the pigment. My mom for example, had great pigment retention and did not need a touch up(she also got her brows done through Daren). In my case, I needed the touch up due to my skin not retaining as much pigment. However, after the healing process my eyebrows have never looked better and I've received so many compliments. I did get a 9 wk - 12 month touch up to darken them up a bit after my first procedure and my brows continued to look great! I recently had my third touch up this past December 2022 with a mini touch up in January 2023 and my brows continue to look great! In addition to lash lift and permanent makeup, I have also had her lash extension service done through her. So far I have tried her signature and classic sets, and soon a wispy volume set for my wedding this coming September. I am always impressed with how all my sets come out and have kept coming back to her. Her sets last for a good while especially if they are well taken care of. Overall, I have been extremely happy with Daren's services and continue to see myself coming back to her. She is super sweet and always takes her time and makes sure you are happy with the outcome of your service! Booking an appointment is also super quick and efficient, and if you ever have any trouble trying to book she will help(: It may seem cliché, but you honestly get what you pay for and I can assure you that Daren’s services are worth every penny!“

“Sexy Makeup Studio provided an amazing experience for my daughter during her Sweet16 that i didn’t hesitate to hire them for her prom. The whole team took time to know exactly what look she wanted and made her feel like a princess. I will always hire them for every special event.“

“Melissa did such a great job, washing and blow drying my hair. highly recommend! thank you“

“Went in to get a facial, had an amazing experience. Hanan took the time to educate me on how to take care off my skin better. The spa is very clean and service is even better. I highly recommend the spa. Owner is always smiling..“

“I've tried several eyebrow tattoo studios, both in Southern California and across Asia, and Sherri's place stands out as the best by far. The entire process was not only incredibly efficient but also delivered top-tier results. Unlike other places where I've felt the needle despite the numbing cream, Sherri's numbing cream works wonders--it's the first time I've been completely comfortable throughout the procedure. Sherri is meticulous about ensuring your comfort, even reapplying the cream if needed. When it comes to listening to your preferences, Sherri is second to none. I came in with eyebrows that had an outline and shape from a previous tattoo that took over four hours to complete. I wasn't thrilled with the high arch they gave me, so I asked Sherri to soften it a bit. She nailed it! Not only did she perfect the shape, but she also completed the entire process in less than an hour--a huge improvement from my past experiences. At first, I was a bit uncertain about the process, but Sherri's confidence and expertise quickly put me at ease. I followed her advice and trusted the process, and now I couldn't be happier with the results. The free touch-ups she offers are also a fantastic bonus, ensuring that your brows stay perfect as they heal. The location in Anaheim is charming and inviting. From the airy and welcoming reception area to the spotless treatment rooms, the entire space exudes cleanliness and comfort. The soothing background music she plays added an extra layer of relaxation to the experience. I highly recommend Sherri for anyone looking to get their eyebrows done--her expertise, attention to detail, and care for her clients are unmatched. I'll definitely be back in the future!“

“I took the Lash training with Lorraine and I was super excited for it. Overall, it was amazing meeting her and I enjoyed our lunchtime talk. The salon is so cute and aesthetic.

There was a slight misunderstanding about what was supposed to be received in the lash kit; however after contacting her directly, Lorraine was happy to mail me the rest of the kit. Thus, is why I am choosing to update my review.

Although there were certain moments where Lorraine stepped away; I feel that the short & sweet teaching style were the basics that I needed to know. I practiced mapping and a classic wispy lash on my husband’s eye and it was confirmed that Lorraine’s training taught me well enough to lash. Thank you Babe Club Beauty & Academy! ??“

“I had a wonderful experience making a same day walk in appointment. What a great blessing to find Michael! He is a fun and engaging person. I am so happy with my hair color and fresh cut. My husband thought my hair looked amazing too! What I really liked about Michael as that he really listened to what I wanted and then asked great questions, incorporating his insights and expertise, as well. I will be going back to him in the future and recommending him to friends and family. The salon is super cute too and very welcoming and inviting!“

“I enjoy coming here! Yslali is always quick to respond when booking a manicure and pedicure appointment. Even my regular manicures last me longer than other places!“

“Danielle made me feel so comfortable.
It was my first time using Cool Sculpting and I had heard good things. The results blew me away specially how quickly you can see them. Danielle was very patient and accommodating. I did cool sculpting in my chin. It was a little painful at first it felt like a vacuum was stuck to my chin lol. But once it gets cold enough the area becomes numb. I had a little bruising that lasted 3- 4 days and noticed results with in three weeks.“

“I love how Alicia does my hair, she's amazing. She styles it exactly how I love it and she gives the best scalp massage ever. She's very detailed with her work and I'm so happy to have found her. My hairstyle even lasts for a couple days afterwards! Alicia is the best, ten stars for her!“

“Yesenia and Britney were so sweet and went above and beyond with my nieces! They kept up with the chatty little girls and made their experience memorable! Thank you so much“
