“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. ✨“

“Last-minute booking, flawless result. Tamra is the real deal.
I needed a makeup artist on short notice for my CEO’s keynote at Human+Tech Week in San Francisco, and Tamra delivered without missing a beat. From the moment we connected, she understood exactly what the moment called for: a polished, stage-ready look that would read well under event lighting while still feeling soft, elevated, and authentically her.

Tamra came fully prepared, arriving with multiple product options and a clear vision. Her contouring and blending were precise. She enhanced my executive’s natural complexion beautifully rather than masking it. The result was confident, camera-ready, and exactly the soft glam we envisioned for a high-profile stage appearance.

Her professionalism, calm energy, and genuine artistry made what could have been a stressful last-minute situation feel completely seamless. If you need someone who truly understands makeup for women of color, high-definition environments, and the stakes of a public-facing moment, Tamra is your person. Highly recommend, and we will absolutely be booking her again.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“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!“

“Ana is a very skilled hairstylist. My hair was damaged by a dye that someone else’s put in my hair and she recover it. She is like a doctor for my hair. Besides giving me the best hair cut and color, every time I have been in her saloon I leave inspired by our conversations. Ana’s appointment is transforming inside out?“

“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!“

“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 lovely. I recently had my first HydraFacial and was blown away by the results. The experience itself was relaxing and soothing. Missy is friendly and fun, so there was great conversation, along with quiet, peaceful times. She took her time to get to know me, my health habits, my skin, and my hopes for my skin. I loved the whole process and was so happy with how my face looked afterwards - clear, smooth, and radiant. I will definitely be back and highly recommend Missy.“

“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.

“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 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!“

“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 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.“

“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!“
