“I have nothing but praise for Alexandra and will gladly come back. Her manner really puts you at ease. I was really nervous but her warm, inviting space and personality make for a calming experience. She is really fast and uses good technique and products. I have reactive skin and the irritation was very minimal with a fast recovery. She is also very responsive, we had to reschedule at the last minute and she was really accommodating.“
“Mina has been my esthetician and eyebrow/body hair waxer for more than 20 years. She is professional and delivers quality service every time. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about her as a skin care/waxing professional as well as an overall great human being! Moreover, as a Black/African American woman who has been her client for more than two decades, I can attest to her expertise with melanated skin, and my skin is always better under her care than without!“
“Great cut; friendly stylist! Great to be able to walk right in and be taken care of; This is my first visit as I am new to town, but I will come back!“
“I love getting my Brazilian here, she is super accommodating fast and affordable! Always is fast and painless“
“Hidden gem! I love coming here for eyebrow threading....Precise, quick work and Deepa is always so gentle.“
“Katie is not only a precise, thoughtful, fast and brilliant waxer, she’s also one of my favorite people ever. Like a funfetti cupcake come to life. Getting a wax with her is safe and easy, but most importantly, I walk away with greater self confidence and self love from her attentiveness and care. I’ve been seeing Katie exclusively for my Brazilians for over 7 years, and I’m constantly impressed by her love and care for her clients, her professionalism and courtesy, and how amazing I feel afterwards. Her studio is immaculately clean and super cozy, always at the right temperature and with calming music and lighting. I recommend her to all of my friends and family, and especially anyone with body image issues who needs a safe and body positive space. I promise you’ll leave feeling amazing! Highly recommend!“
“Very reasonable and a wonderful human being. I've been going to Nirmala monthly for many years!“
“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.“
“I had my first facial ever with Andrea today and it was wonderful! The space is so positive and peaceful. I assumed that facials were more for skin health and aesthetics but I was most impressed by how relaxing the whole experience was. I appreciated that the products used leaned natural but effective like manual honey treatments. Andrea was so gentle. I felt pampered and was still able to get gentle extraction with ultrasound technology (new to me) and I left feeling refreshed without any redness or irritation.“
“Shannon is a true skincare genius! I'm in my mid-30s (he/him) and suddenly was having a lot of problems with acne, especially on my forehead. I had tried a whole bunch of different products of varying quality, but the issues persisted for a couple years. Finally, I found Seven:Thirty and was able to see Shannon. Just a few months later, with several treatments and sticking to the skincare regimen assigned to me by Shannon, my face was completely clear. It's now been about 5 months since I started and I have had such minimal acne it's startling. My skin looks better than ever. It was an investment in both time and money, but so, so worth it. Thank you Shannon and Seven:Thirty!!!“
“The staff is very Kind. I was able to get a same day appointment. The chairs are also very comfy - I fell asleep in one! I will be back!“
“The owner is very enthusiastic and provides excellent service, it's a great experience.“
“Relaxed atmosphere, kind, and efficient! It was my first time having my brows done, and Amanda did an amazing job!“
“Lee and her team are the best. I’ve moved to New York, San Jose, Sacramento and San Francisco, and each time have come back to my college nail spot (here!) because I have yet to find anywhere that can beat both the price AND the talent. Not to mention the absolute warmth and kindness of this team. This place truest does the best manicure.“
“I had a fantastic experience at welcome beauty & threading.The moment I arrived, Saru greeted me warmly and made me feel right at home. They used high-quality products and provided excellent advice on skin care. They offer a range of services beyond just threading, waxing, high frequency facial, glowing facial,dermabrasion facial,hydrafacial facial including makeup and tailored suits for special occasions. End result exceeded my expectations, and I left feeling rejuvenated and confident. The entire experience was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend for anyone looking for exceptional service and a great experience.“
“The best in town.... Hands down. Customer for more than 15 years . Almost every time I get compliment after my eyebrows done. Perfect arch on both the brows as mostly places I tried give two different shapes on each side. If u go once here you will not go to any place thereafter because you will definitely regret it . Fast and perfect each and every time.“
“See Kim if you want an awesome pedicure! During your service she's super attentive and offers engaging conversation.
She offers more than just a foot bathing which, is really important to me. In particular, she takes her time removing dead skin from the toes without causing discomfort.
I followed Kim from her previous location because she's great at what she does.“
“Laura is awesome! She is actually only the second aesthetician I have been to and I can honestly say I am super impressed. Now that I am in my 40s I decided it might be time to put some effort into my skin. Laura explains everything as she is doing it and I always walk out with so much more knowledge than I came in with. My face is always glowing after seeing her and I get so many compliments. I see her regularly now and it's the best thing I have done for my skin! It's also super calming and relaxing.“
“Great place for sports pedicures [runners, martial arts, etc] and also hair cuts! Tip - Call at least 2 days in advance“
“David was great, I been coming for 5 years always pleased with the service. Recommended!“
“This is a clean excellent nail salon. They are friendly and welcoming. I just love the results.“
“Lavender Nails Spa does the best job on nails in the Bay Area. Their work lasts longer than other nail spas I've been to, and they pay careful attention. There's also an air of friendliness that you don't find at other places. I can't recommend this place enough!“
“I received the most wonderful facial at Spa Nails and Hair. It was just on a lark that I peeked in to learn more about the services described by a new sign in the window for Head Spa, including Facial Treatment. The woman who came to spoke with me listened to all of my concerns and recommended a really lovely facial that would help The whole experience was delightful. I would love to go back, and I am so grateful for the experience. I wasn't just incredibly relaxing, but really helpful for my skin. I feel so much better.“
“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.“
“Kim and most all the other women at this benefit are so kind and generous. Sometimes I can walk in feeling terrible and I walk out feeling great! Thank you benefit and Berkeley on fourth Street.!!“
