“I’ve been seeing Brittany monthly since November and my skin has genuinely been transformed — I had to leave this review because the results speak for themselves.

In that time I’ve had hydrafacials, microneedling, and dermaplaning, with a chemical peel coming up next. What sets Brittany apart isn’t just her skill with the treatments themselves — it’s how thorough and knowledgeable she is throughout the entire process. She walks you through every single step, explains exactly what products she’s using, breaks down the key ingredients, and tells you why they work. You leave every appointment actually understanding your skin better than when you walked in.

And the results? My skin is firmer, tighter, and more radiant than it’s ever been. My pores are visibly smaller and people have genuinely noticed the glow. The product recommendations she’s made have made a huge difference in my at-home routine as well.

If you’re looking for an aesthetician who combines real expertise with a truly personalized, educational approach — Brittany is your person. I’m a loyal monthly client and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. Absolutely worth every visit. ✨“

“Tamra was absolutely wonderful to work with! From our trial run, she was incredibly collaborative. Her communication throughout was excellent, and her timing and professionalism were impeccable. On the wedding day, she arrived completely prepared, with an amazingly organized and meticulously sanitized kit. She made my mother and I look look amazing! More than anything, Tamra has a warmth about her and her makeup was flawless, natural and elevated! I Highly recommend her!“

“I love Ana. Ever since I visited Barcelona 2 decades ago and admired their cool haircuts I was dreaming of a hairstylist from there, and then would you believe it I found one right here in the Mission, known for her work with the curly heads!

I’ve gone to her for over 15 years now. Short, long, medium, asymmetrical, we did it all. My better half and close friends became her loyal customers too.

She’s an artist and it shows. She really feels deeply what the right set up for your hair is and makes it happen.

So many fun and interesting conversations over the years, too. And she even saved me from a car rental scam in Mexico in the latest twist.

Bueno, she’s the best.“

“I’ve been going to Honeycomb Salon in Noe Valley for years, and it’s still the only place I’ll trust for my cut and color. Every stylist I’ve met is experienced, talented, and genuinely passionate about what they do. It’s a high-end hair salon, but never feels pretentious or intimidating.

The team stays on top of current haircut and color trends while taking the time to recommend what will actually work for your hair, style, and lifestyle. As someone who’s solidly middle-aged, I love that they help me look and feel modern, confident, and just a little more fun without trying to make me look like someone I’m not.

The customer service is just as exceptional as the styling. Danny at the front desk is always warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful, making every visit easy from start to finish. Gillian, the owner, is a magician with color and cuts, and she’s built a salon filled with talented people who clearly care about their clients.

If you’re looking for an outstanding salon in San Francisco for expert haircuts, color, and a genuinely friendly experience, I can’t recommend Honeycomb Salon highly enough.“

“I’ve been to Allure many times for extensions, and after trying other lash artists over the years, I can honestly say no one has compared. Every set has been beautiful, comfortable, and exactly what I was hoping for. The retention, attention to detail, and overall quality of their work is what keeps bringing me back.

Winnie, her team, and even her students are incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional. From the moment you walk in, they make you feel comfortable and cared for. You can tell they genuinely value their clients and value creating a relaxing experience instead of making appointments feel rushed.

One thing I really appreciate is how clean and organized everything is. The studio is always spotless, and you can tell cleanliness and sanitation are a priority. It gave me peace of mind every time I came in.

What really sets Allure apart is the level of knowledge and artistry. Winnie is passionate about her craft and has built a team that reflects those same high standards. They take the time to understand the look you’re going for, explain the process, and make recommendations based on what will work best for your features instead of just following trends. Every appointment felt personalized.

I also love that Allure is more than just a lash studio. They offer a wide variety of beauty services, including permanent makeup (PMU) for brows, lip blush, brow and lash laminations, facials, and other treatments, making it a place you can continue coming back to for different beauty services.

I’ve recommended Allure to friends and family because I truly trust the quality of their work. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll feel welcomed, cared for, and leave feeling more confident than when you walked in, I highly recommend booking with Winnie and her team. They have created such a positive environment, and it really shows in both their work and the way they treat every client.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“I just wanted to send you the biggest thank you. ❤ Looking back on my wedding day, I keep thinking about how incredibly special and beautiful you made me feel. You created exactly what I had envisioned while making me feel completely like myself, and I’ll always be grateful for that.

Beyond your amazing talent, I can’t thank you enough for your warm, nurturing energy. You brought such a sense of calm and joy, and the whole process felt so easy, seamless, and fun. It was such a gift to have someone who made me feel so cared for during such an emotional and exciting day.

Thank you for helping me feel my absolute best and for being such a wonderful part of one of the most meaningful days of my life. I’ll always remember how beautiful you made me feel, inside and out. I’m so grateful for you! 💕“

“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!“

“Missy is the absolute best. As someone who never would have gotten a facial in the past, she's got me hooked. I leave feeling glowy, so clean, and refreshed.

But above all, she's the most wonderful person. She's fun, has amazing energy and really cares. Missy is a big yes! Go see her“

“Nicole did my make up for my birthday dinner with my boyfriend and I felt so beautiful. She’s so lovely to hang out with! Really grateful and enjoyed my birthday so much. Thanks Nicole 😄💖“

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

“Lexie is truly a star! I’m in love with my classic lash extensions. She listened to exactly what I wanted and executed perfectly. The details in her work are insane and she made me feel so comfortable the whole time. My lashes came out so fluffy and beautiful!“

“Lola did an amazing job on my keratin treatment. I love my hair and I’ll definitely be back!! 💜💜“

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

“This is honestly long overdue.

Nicole is AMAZING!!! I love seeing her and look forward to it. She spends an immense amount of time pampering your skin. She’s literally a gem in the city!

If you want an expert that tailors your facials to your skin, SEE HER! BOOK HER NOW! My skin always feels super hydrated, clean, bright, and supple. She recommends products that she thinks will
help you in your skin journey. She’s so lovely and I always feel comfortable and relaxed, and leave feeling like a brand new woman. 10 stars! ✨“

“Linda’s my go-to gal for all my hair needs! She’s the best and I always get compliments after every cut and style. Helps me feel confident every time. She’s a real one too and always appreciate her expertise.“

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

“Really enjoyed working with Mei to come up with my wedding hairstyle after my initial stylist cancelled last minute. In a short period of time, we created the look & it was even better than initially planned.“

“Okay I'm obsessed with my brows rn. I've got naturally uneven brows with some gaps and honestly gave up trying to get them to look good, but Alisa Flammier at Eye Candy SF worked actual magic. She shaped and tinted them to fit my face instead of just doing a generic template, and now they look full and even in a way I didn't think was possible for me. Also got a lash lift while I was there and it's chef's kiss, natural but with the perfect curl. Alisa is so good at what she does and makes the whole appointment feel chill and easy. Found my brow person for life, book with her!!“

“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!“

“I barely did review on google, but when I do, the service I got was worth it. Id like to thank Hailey for being flexible with my schedule today, even though she has a packed schedule on July 4th. Hailey is a hard worker and l can see how much she cares for her customers with her service. She takes a good care of my lashes, makes sure my filling is full and the retention is excellent. 10/10“

“I got the best haircut for my curly hair by Ana Lucero! I wasn’t liking that my curls were flat by my face so she went in to add layers and it came out SO good! I was really nervous that getting a curly cut would turn out like a jelly fish but she truly blended my hair 360* seamlessly & now I have bouncy curls 🥰 (also idk her name but the gal who washed my hair was amazing!)“

“April made me feel so calm and comfortable from the moment I met her. Since I wasn’t able to do a trial before my wedding, she thoughtfully walked me through her plan that morning before we began, incorporating my inspiration pictures along with a few changes I wanted. She took the time to explain how those changes would affect the overall look, which made me feel confident trusting her throughout the process. My glam turned out absolutely perfect and held up all day! I’ve never felt more beautiful, and I would recommend April again and again!“
