Makeup near Orinda

“I saw Ellie yesterday after lunch at Comelones Tacos. Her prices are 75 dollars for a haircut. She was prompt and was serving two people when I saw her. My appointment was at 12 noon and that is when I sat in her chair. The salon itself is very small with one chair for waiting clients. There were three stations and all three ladies including Ellie looked like true professionals. I didn't see any chatting or joking but complete attention to their clients except for Ellie who checked her cellphone several times and also talked on her cellphone while cutting my hair. Since I paid 90 (after a 15 dollar tip) for a 22 minute service, I felt a little cheated. Ellie washed my hair for five minutes from 12:00 to 12:05. At 12:22, I was outside getting into my car which meant that my haircut was 17 minutes. 90 dollars for a 17 minute haircut just doesn't feel right. My haircut was very basic, a few layers in the back and I didn't really see much layers framing my face which she promised. I would have liked a little more detailed framing. I will see how my hair grows out but I am unsure I will come back. Also, Ellie doesn't take credit cards so I had to pay her cash which she appreciated.“

“She is very professional and experienced. She did exactly what I was asking for. Awesome haircut.“

“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 was so grateful to find Naomi! She gave me the best hair consultation I've ever had at the start of my balayage appointment. She explained very clearly how different treatments would affect my hair and the maintenance/care that would be required afterwards. I felt very listened to and that she had fully taken my concerns into account. Once we settled on the color, she quickly got started on painting my hair. Naomi is super nice to talk to and made me feel very comfortable as someone who can be more quiet. I loved the results and could not stop looking at my hair after my appointment. Thank you again Naomi!“

“I couldn't be happier with the haircuts and highlights from Amy. I get so many compliments!!! I come every 5-6 weeks religiously. The new location is really convenient. The setting and ambiance is bright and uplifting. I highly recommend!“

“Raina did do magic. Vibe: my cup of tea. Service request: met with professionalism. Yes I recommend.“

“This is my favorite waxing place. I’ve been here for more than 5 times. She always does the great job. I highly recommend this place. ?“

“Petra is the best!! She has been cutting my hair for years! Probably the best hair stylist I have ever been to!“

“TLDR; If you are a Bride, you NEED Abhilasha for your wedding. Book her early because trust me it will be the best choice you make.

Abhilasha (Abby as I fondly call her) is AMAZING! Abby did my looks (hair, makeup & draping) for all 4 events as well as for my husband. She made us feel confident, beautiful, and radiant with each look that half the stressors of the day leave you.

Abby started with an intro call to understand each other's styles, preferences, goals from what we would like. She also got a good idea of the skincare routine I was and was not doing. From that moment on I was taken care of. Abby provided a detailed lifestyle to promote healthy skin, products to use (based on what you had already) and water goals to meet. I can safely say I am still following this and will be.

Abby builds a relationship with you! For both of us she was our go to for looks, skin care, hair care and so much more. She checked in with us routinely leading up to the wedding and is a friend more than an artist. You want someone like that by your side especially if you are spending so much time, energy and effort. She takes the time to know who YOU are and creates the YOU that needs to shine that day. Abby has really been a rock. Seen me at 4am before coffee, zoned out, practicing steps while getting hair done, and so much more.

I will also add her team did an outstanding job of catering to our family and getting everyone from both our families to glow as well. As I stated Abby and Team Abby are what you need. Lock it in!“

“Jae is the hair care expert. With consistency, Jae will have your hair healthy and beautiful. My thick hair is now well into my back and I won't let anyone else touch it. As a busy professional, it is refreshing to have a hair stylist who is respectful of my time. She does not overbook. I really appreciate that Jae invests in continuing education to keep up with latest and best haircare options.

Hair type: My hair is naturally super thick and coarse. Jae has made my hair very manageable, conditioned, and soft. Now my blowout and straightening lasts between 3-4 weeks, No problem.

Stylist: Jae is amazing. She specializes in Hair Care. My thick hair is soo healthy and has grown in length since I became Jae's client. My hair used to be dry and constantly breaking, but Jae has brought my hair to a wonderful condition. Consistency and doing what Jae says that my hair needs was key. If you want your hair "styled" Jae is also great with that.“

“Jonathan is the absolute best and never disappoints. Have been trusting him for 10+ years (with my very thick hair) and continue to appreciate his creativity, expanding vision and expertise.Services: Hairstyling“

“Missy Moran Studios is my new go-to place for Hydrafacials. Missy a total pro, gets input on what her clients main concerns are and very communicative on her plan before and while the facial itself. She even offers a light tinted sunscreen to protect your skin afterwards. I will definitely be back soon.“

“Thank you, Jinny! You are amazing. As a mom, putting my kids first is always a priority. You took excellent care of my teens during high school and continue to care for all of our skin needs today. Your delightful demeanor, effective skincare products, and treatments truly make a difference. I always feel cared for and walk out rejuvenated and glowing. (Pictured is the LED light.) Thank you Jinny for taking care of our family, and if I could get my husband in, I would! Men!

Highly Recommend! Questions, just call me!“

“Nicole is an all around all star and someone you can trust 100% to make your hair and makeup dreams a reality. I've gone to her twice for a haircut, once for full balayage, and once for toner. Before I went in for a toner it had been six months since we had done color and I was still getting compliments from people on my hair color! Most recently I decided to book Nicole for my birthday updo and makeup and she was phenomenal! I was a bit worried because the appointment was at 9am and my event wasn't until 3pm. She utilized a special sewing technique for the loose curls look I wanted and it lasted all day through the night. Before I went to bed I took out the pins and my bun was still intact when I woke up because of the sewing! Magic! I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup. I loved how she did my makeup and how she worked with my natural features. I felt like a princess. Thank you, Nicole!!“

“I always go there, the women are very kind, and they provide excellent service at an excellent price...100% satisfaction guaranteed....“

“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 had my first appointment today coming from out of town with Linda, she was amazing! In the past I’ve walked away from haircuts only to go and style it differently on my own, but Linda asked a lot of questions and was clearly keeping in mind the aesthetic I like from my hair. I walked away NOT thinking about how I could style it differently, but how I could recreate what she’d done! 10/10, hope to return to the bay in the future if only for my fantastic hair“

“Maricela did a great job! She fit me in her schedule really quickly and was incredibly kind. I was really happy with the color and cut. Highly recommend!“

“I had a wonderful waxing experience with Brittany! She is kind, efficient, thoughtful, and lovely to talk to, and made the experience as painless and pleasant as possible. I look forward to coming back in the future!“

“I just got a haircut by Dwight Davis. Very stylish studio very clean, Dwight is talented and an excellent conversationalist. I will be back.“

“This review is for wedding hair & makeup services from Eryn! Eryn was my first hair stylist when I was in middle school. I remember her being so sweet and talented back then, and it is still the case! I booked her for hair and makeup for my August 2023 wedding. She knew exactly what to do technically in terms of colors and styles on me and my bridal party, niece and mother/MIL so that we all looked our best and cohesive with each other. I was extremely impressed that she did 8 of us all by herself with only one small break. She provided the perfect energy, brought us fun magazines, and had all sorts of amazing advice and tips (such as how to get me into the car without getting my dress dirty - make sure you have a flat sheet handy!). She was more than a stylist, she was a therapist, a yoga teacher, a posing expert... You won't regret booking her! I have also visited the salon and found the space to be really good vibes with very nice staff members.“

“Claire is fantastic and keeps me coming back year after year. Amanda her partner has also worked on my hair and is equally great.“

“Getting my hair done by Jessie is one of my favorite ways to treat myself! She's extremely talented and knowledgeable about hair care. I always leave her salon feeling great and with new beauty tips. In my experience, it's hard to find stylists who know how to color and treat asian hair, and I trust Jessie fully. I moved an hour away, and I still make the drive to see her. I'm overdue for a haircut/color, and looking forward to my next visit.“

I will definitely be coming back!!“
