Makeup in Long Beach

“Alpha was referred to me by my hairstylist for our 08/10/24 vineyard wedding in Temecula, CA. I wanted someone who was familiar with skin of color and a small business owner. After looking at her portfolio and speaking with other satisfied clients, I booked her services. She was extremely professional and personable from start to finish. Her quote was very transparent and included a pre wedding bridal trial as well as her travel fees (which were very fair). Due to this being a destination wedding I had to travel to OC for my trial and missed my initial flight. Alpha was very understanding and helped me reschedule with ease. On the day of the trial, Alpha was personable and took her time to achieve my desired look. She was so patient, she didn't loose her cool when I had her change my lip color 3 times before deciding on my final look! On the day of the wedding everything went smoothly; Alpha was punctual and prepared-she requested pictures of my entire wedding party with their makeup inspirations several months in advance. She had perfect foundation matches for everyone in the wedding party, nailed everyone's makeup look and was extremely flexible when one of my bridesmaids was late for her makeup time. Last minute I even added blush and lipstick for my Jr bridesmaids and flower girls (ages 4,7, 9 and 9) which Alpha was able to accommodate. For the adult bridesmaids/bride she provided a blotting tissue and lipstick for touchups throughout the day. Despite the day being ~90 degrees, lots of eating/drinking and dancing (read sweat and lots of it), not a single person's makeup smeared. Everyone loved their looks and their confidence shown in our wedding pictures. As for me, I felt and looked amazing; she made my bridal dreams come true! Don't walk, RUN to book Alpha and Sweet Fuss! I 100% recommend her!“

“I love getting my brows done here, they look great. The space is comfortable and relaxing and Rachelle is friendly and professional - she's fantastic. I am a regular client and highly recommend!“

“Jen was able to accommodate us on short notice for prom hair and make-up for my daughter. I was impressed with her efficiency and professionalism. She was able to flawlessly execute my daughter's vision, and she was thrilled with the result. I am so glad that I decided to take her to Face it Sugar. It was a stress-free process for me and a much better outcome for my daughter. I would definitely use their services again for a special occasion.“

“What a find! My partner and I were walking the area and came across this shop. The products they offer are vegan and clean. I bought a cleanser and some makeup, different than what I'm used to yet surprisingly good. (I've been using it for a couple weeks now). Larissa at the front told me about the services they provided and so I booked an appointment for a facial with Araceli. This facial was EVERYTHING. Araceli made me feel comfortable and so relaxed that I fell asleep! We talked about my skin and how I can help deal with my acne breakouts. I honestly felt like I was glowing afterwards Wax N Blush is def my new spot for all my beauty needs“

“Love my brows! Shes great for blondes. I was so nervous but she took her time and made me feel confident that it'd all turn out great.“

“The place is nice enough and staff is friendly. I used to have Bob cut my hair, but he's gone now, so don't think I'll be back.“

“Yisel is incredibly gifted and talented. Not only does she have a way to connect with people, but she truly listens to your likings and needs. She is one who I would trust my hair with and I don’t so easily. She’s always looking out and suggesting products that would actually benefit you without anything in return. I love her and her work! :)“

“Sasha is a master of color & curls/style. She never fails at doing an amazing job. I have natural curls and she always gives me a choice to leave with straight or curly hair. I always love a beautiful blow out. I have had MANY throughout the years and she always does an amazing job. She also makes me feel have curly golden-locks when I choose to go out curly. She is also great company while I am there in the cute hair salon with great products and cute odds & ends like candles, satin pillowcases or barrettes to purchase for self or a gift. I give her and the location a 10. It would definitely benefit you if you book with her!“

“First I'd like to say thank you to Yvonne and the services she has done for me! I have never had a bad experience with yvonne or anyone from vanguardia hair studio! These ladies are very professional and are always considerate over their clients! Yvonne has always taken care of my hair needs and as I said I never had a bad experience with her! Recently I had a bad experience with a stylist that i thought was also a long time friend and she blamed me for giving me a chemical melt on my hair and i regret going to her! So I am now very selective of who touches my hair. Yvonne you've never let me down ! Thank you for all you do yvonne and I will be contacting you soon for a hair trim! You are the best indeed!“

“Bridgette cut my long hair perfectly! She was friendly, fast, knowledgeable, skilled, and cut perfectly to my desire and description. Highly recommend!!!“

“I highly recommend Rita and all her services! I've been going to her for about 7 years and always walk out GLOWING! And she has a lovely bedside manner!“

“This is a very small but comfortable and pretty salon near the liquor store - enter from the parking lot. The ladies are friendly and incredibly knowledgeable! So knowledgeable that they teach classes. They properly clean tools or provide new (i.e. file) which they give you if you want. They have whatever products you want, I'm sure. Colors, stickers, gems, bedazzles and blings galore! If they don't have the perfect color, they will mix it for you. These ladies are artists - they will create your vision. Beautifully! If there were half stars in Yelp rating, I would make this 4.5. My only ding is that the shop hours don't easily match my hours. Which I completely understand - this is a small "artisan" experience. BUT, since there aren't half stars, they get a five! I mean, look at my nails!!! They're freaking gorgeous! Five stars all night all day. Rock on, Ladies!“

“Gina is the best!!, great service and she's good at what she does. Pedi and mani w a great massage“

“Excellent service. Cut and blow out with my stylist Elizabeth. It was a wonderful experience. Intimate experience with great attentiveness. Loved it all!! Becky“

“Lizette is amazing. Incredibly professional staff and great location! This will be my go-to spot forever.“

“Well I was really nervous at first getting it done the thought of getting semi permanent work on the face was a little nerve wrecking. I've seen some Micoblading gone bad lol. Jennifer was great though she numbed me a few times so it didn't hurt at all. I went lighter on the color because I heard from my coworkers that it' looks really intense for a couple of days. Even with going lighter it did look intense. After it healed over. It started to look better she even covered my scar. I can't wait for my second session I might have to go darker since the color kinda look like it's fading. Love that I don't have to spend too much time doing my brow. So definitely recommend this place.“

“Best place to get any hair style you want. The ladies there are extremely professional. I'm there at least once a month. Neisha is great. My hair always looks fly when I leave. There's a Barber there as well. And the atmosphere is explosive, happy celebrating vibes.“
