Makeup in Berkeley

“I give the entire experience 10+ stars! Today was my first lesson in a series. Our focus was on complexion and Tamra hit out of the park. I learned about undertones, color correction, and numerous techniques for ensuring that your makeup looks fresh all day. Tamra is patient, kind and gifted. If you are looking to glow up your glam, you need her in your makeup bag! Today met all my expectations and more.“

“I booked a same-day facial at Spa Orgánica and it was AMAZING! The location is great, the spa suite itself is quiet and relaxing, the products used were top notch and my skin looks incredible. On top of that, Christina is a lovely human who was so welcoming and thorough with her extractions. I can't wait to come back. If you're thinking of booking a service, definitely do it!“

“I've FINALLY found my Bay Area stylist and salon! After shopping around for the past 6 years, I've settled in with Alex for cuts and color this year and I'm so relieved. I visited first for her to correct color I disliked that I'd had done elsewhere; and then to correct a cut I disliked that I'd had done elsewhere; and twice now for regular maintenance. I'll be back again.

Communication with Alex has been easy and results with both cut and color have been great, but I'm especially grateful for her talent with color—

I grew up a natural blonde; in my 20s and early 30s my hair started darkening to the point that people who'd known me forever thought I was blonde, while people I'd just met thought I was brunette; and then I had a baby: after postpartum hair loss, my look rapidly turned to a dull mousy brown-grey. So when I go in for color, I'm just trying to turn the clock back a decade—subtle, natural, convince everyone else I look like I imagine I look, but like you didn't do anything at all—easy ;)

Anyway, Alex nails it. I've tried boosting my old sun highlights with three other stylists over the years, and none came close. Between appointments with Alex I half convinced myself I'd magically turned into a natural blonde again. My mom thought so too!

Also, not critical to me but a plus: the salon is nice and stylish without feeling overdone, and I appreciate that I don't feel pressured to be chatty when I'm tired. All together, exactly what I'm looking for.“

“My lashes are exactly what I wanted and look terrific. Mali is a consummate professional, warm, welcoming, and flexible. Malimor is beautiful, hygenic, and conveniently located. Thanks, Mali!“

“Taj is great. She made me feel right at home. It was like talking to a cousin. Her place was nice and clean. It also smelled so good. She did my hair my quickly and efficiently. I got a cut and bleach. Doing this in stages. First bleach with virgin hair. It looks so good! She is knowledgeable and wants your hair to be healthy. Will definitely being going back and have already recommended her to friends. Black hair is before.Services: Curly hair“

“I absolutely love Theresa. She specializes in haircuts and coloring, and I've been going to her since 2019. I cannot praise her enough. Theresa takes her time with my hair, analyzing the growth patterns and considering how the style complements my face shape. Her haircuts take a bit longer, but I love that because she ensures they are long-lasting. I've visited many hair salons, but I've never experienced this level of attention to detail. Even when I didn't get a haircut for a year, my hair grew out beautifully. I've had haircuts in Korea and at various places in the Bay Area and New York, but Theresa stands out. She knows exactly what she's doing, and I can't believe I'm only giving her a review now.“

“10/10 recommend coming to see Patricia! She is quite literally the best at what she does. I was not taking care of my curly hair properly before I came to see her and she gave me all kind of product recommendations and tips on how to keep my hair healthy and thriving and that is really what I enjoyed the most. She is a curl expert and you can tell she genuinely cares about her clients. I will be coming back to La Peluquería time and time again.“

“Natalie did my wedding hair and makeup and it turned out fabulous!! She worked with me during the trial to get everything the way I wanted and it ended up looking great. Her space is really lovely too. I also got two facials and lash extensions leading up to the big day from her that turned out nicely as well. She was communicative and flexible for setting up the appointments. She also has a really cute little doggie that hangs out in the studio too :) Would definitely recommend checking out Polish & Glo!“
