Makeup near Albany

“Highly highly recommend!! Brittany is so kind, knowledgeable, and gentle. I got a facial as a birthday present to myself, and it’s the best present I could have received! I thought I had somewhat problematic skin by nature but a decent skincare routine. Brittany clearly explained that my routine was causing the issues I was having and provided me with targeted treatment. And let me tell you, she did me so right!! I immediately implemented her recommendations, and my skin is already noticeably softer, smoother, more even in color, less greasy at the end of the day, and feeling healthier in just a week. I will definitely be back!“

“Been going to Lisa for years for color and she’s the best! Very careful and meticulous, just what you want in a colorist.“

“I had a haircut with Krista and she was amazing!! She asked all the right questions and listened to what I wanted and my concerns. My hair is fine and we took it from long with grown out bangs to about collar bone length with a new-to-me style of bangs that I loved. I already have my bang trim and next cut appointments booked.“

“Beautiful hair salon with a laid back vibe. I personally come here for Geno, who has been cutting my hair for over a year now. I have never had someone give me such consistently good haircuts. I leave very satisfied each time!

Geno, along with most of the stylists working out of this space, are extremely booked up. So plan accordingly and schedule an appointment ahead of time.“

“I had my first appointment today at the Acute Collective and walked away thrilled out how great my hair looked. She gave me a hair cut that gave me layers while not taking any length and put an amazing conditioning treatment on. I am so happy I found her, cant wait to go back!“

“I went in yesterday for the first time and had a great experience. It's cute and clean and Delmy made me feel very comfortable. It is also reasonably priced. Will be back!“

“Natalie is hands-down one of the best lash artists I’ve ever been to. You can tell immediately she’s highly experienced- she’s incredibly knowledgeable about lash health, styling, and what will actually look flattering in your eyes (not just whatever is trending). She took the time to assess my natural lashes, explained what would work best, and the set came out flawless- clean, lightweight, and perfectly balanced.

Her pricing is a bit higher than some places, but it’s absolutely worth it for the level of skill, precision, and the long-lasting results. My lashes look beautiful without feeling heavy, and retention has been amazing. If you want lashes that look luxe, feel comfortable, and are done by someone who truly knows what she’s doing, book with Natalie“

“Eye candy sf offers nothing but a 5 star experience truly. This past Thursday was my second time going and it was great! The space is clean and well decorated with a relaxing vibe. The staff is sooo sweet, I've had the pleasure of working with Alisa and Alyssa and both experiences were professional and friendly with amazing results.

When I tell you, my lashes look good for so long. I get a lash lift and tint and without makeup my lashes look so full with a beautiful curl. During the consultation, you can explain the look your going for and they will talk with you about what they can do and how they will go about it. The process for a lift and tint itself took about 45 min, but they make sure you are comfortable the entire time and the ladies are so great to chat with!

Overall amazing experience with beautiful results, I will be telling all my girlfriends about this place!“

“I’ve been coming to this salon for over 10 years, and I truly can’t say enough good things about it. The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional it always feels like visiting family. The service is consistently top-notch, whether it’s a simple haircut or something more involved. They really take the time to listen to what you want and make sure you leave happy every single time.

The salon is always clean, comfortable, and well-run, which makes every visit relaxing and enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and genuinely warm salon experience. It’s rare to find a business that maintains such high standards year after year, and this one absolutely does.“

“Nicole is absolutely incredible. I’ve been seeing her for over 10 years, and she continues to impress me with her thoroughness and expertise. She has helped me navigate a variety of skin concerns throughout the years, always showing genuine care and dedication. It’s clear that she truly cares about her clients, and it shows in every interaction. I highly recommend The Art of Aesthetics to anyone looking for exceptional care and an amazing experience.“

“Best set of lashes I’ve ever had. Julie is thorough and kind and the lashes are still going strong in week 7“

“I go here for haircuts and Cezanne smoothing treatments and they are the best. I've had Lola for haircut and Ziggy does an amazing Cezanne super detailed and gentle.“

“My appointments with Narissa have always been very pleasant and have received excellent coloring jobs. She is an artist.“

“Tamra’s makeup clean-up session was such a game changer for me! She not only helped me sort through all my products, but she also took the time to explain why certain shades didn’t work for my undertone, how pigment payoff really matters, and what to look out for when choosing products in the future. She guided me toward makeup that actually complements me and tossed out the things that were holding my routine back.

What I loved most is that it wasn’t just a clean-up—it was a lesson. Tamra broke everything down in a way that made sense and really stuck with me. Now I’m much more intentional when I shop for makeup, and I feel so much more confident knowing what truly works for me. Highly recommend her if you want to elevate your makeup bag and your knowledge at the same time!“

“I needed to be “re-educated“ for both day-to-day and stage makeup. So, I found Christina. She taught me some mad skills that completely overhauled my look AND used most all of the various products I already owned. Bonus: She also lined up nutritional suggestions & daily rituals to improve my skin from the inside out. Two hour session a worthwhile investment.“

“I went in for hair extensions removal and reapplication, and Fidel was amazing throughout the whole process. He not only did a flawless job with the extensions but also treated my hair with a great mask that left it feeling so soft and healthy. To finish, he gave me a fantastic styling that I absolutely loved. Fidel is professional, attentive, and really talented—I couldn’t be happier with the result. Highly recommend him!“

“I had seen Missy before for facial skin care but have now discovered the full body wellness of lymphatic care. I was actually recommended by my physical therapist to explore lymphatic care after some mobility issues with a locked elbow and painful toe. Not only has the care package helped my physical health, the environment Missy creates to meditate/rest does wonders for my mental health too.“

“I did their Monay Hair Cryotherapy treatment. Life-changing! Frizz is gone, hair is so smooth and very easy to manage and style at home. 1000 percent recommend!“

“Loved my cut. Stylist actually listened and didn’t do “whatever they wanted instead.” That alone deserves five stars.“

“Hire Nicole! I couldn’t be more serious. After a terrible experience with a different makeup artist two weeks before my wedding I was reaching out to basically everyone who could do wedding makeup for Black bride. Nicole responded so warmly and supportively almost immediately that she was happy to help despite her already packed schedule. She accommodated my schedule and we managed to align on expectations, get a trial done and work with my hair stylist to make sure everything would be cohesive within days of first reaching out. And to anyone reading this. I looked the best I ever have! I received compliments all night about my makeup. I felt like such an elevated and beautiful version of myself. Not only did she do an amazing job like truly stunning. She’s super fun to work with. So sweet, so funny, so kind, so genuine, so talented. I could go on. But truly a professional in every sense. I mean she even checked in with my mom to make sure the look was mom approved. She will check all of your boxes and more. I promise. Hire her!“

“My hair has been dark for the whole winter season and ready for a change. So glad my friend told me about Paul because he did an amazing job with my highlights! The color he chose worked well with my skin tone! Highly recommend!“

“I love my new eyebrows, very natural looking. The whole experience was painless and comfortable. The staff were attentive and skillful. Highly recommended!“

“As a planner, Rebecca at ShineForth is an absolute joy to work with. She is kind, professional, accommodating and more than willing to work with you to make sure your client feels taken care of, beyond expectations. She worked with our bride to ensure she was happy with her hair and makeup well in advance of her wedding day so that come the day of it was the last thing she had to worry about. Instead of this being a stress point, as it is at times, the hair and makeup portion of the evening became the time for our bride to relax, breathe and reset before walking down the aisle. I cannot recommend her enough!“

“Ana is the best—truly. Do yourself a favor and book with her. I came in after a haircut I wasn’t loving and was seriously considering chopping all my hair off. Ana kept me grounded and helped me make the right call. Now my hair isn’t too short, I have zero regrets, and it looks so much better. I can even wear it without styling—something I didn’t think was possible after my last cut.

What sets Ana apart is her deep understanding of hair—how it moves, how it sits, and how to bring out its best without forcing it. On top of all that, she’s just a wonderful human being. I won’t go anywhere else.“

“I moved to the area a few months ago and was looking for a new stylist. Gino stood out to me with his bio and previous work so I scheduled an appointment and I'm so happy I did! The salon is small but bright and welcoming and the people are equally as bright and welcoming. Gino is great at collaboration and suggesting new styles/colors to check out and is always ready to answer any product or styling questions I might have. He's also great for ideas about what to do in the area! Love this place!“

“Consuelo is incredibly skilled at her craft! I was preparing for my wedding day and after a miserable makeup trial with someone else, stumbling upon Consuelo's portfolio made me hopeful. Despite the short notice, she graciously squeezed me into her schedule and worked her magic. She helped me look and feel my best for my wedding day. On top of that, she's not just talented; she's also super friendly, totally professional, and actually listens to what you want. Consuelo is awesome, and if you want someone who'll make you feel gorgeous on your big day, please contact her -- TODAY! I highly recommend her!“
