Makeup near El Cerrito

“Pheakdey is amazing. I've followed her from a previous salon in Oakland (where I live) to her studio at Sola in El Cerrito. Although she used to be located 2 blocks from me, the distance won't stop me from using her for all of my hair care needs! It's hard to find a hair stylist that you trust. She dyes my roots every 7 weeks and cuts my hair every 14 weeks. She knows exactly what I like and I always leave extremely satisfied. She's also done eyelash extensions for me that last for a long time, and the experience was very peaceful and relaxing compared to other places. Not only is she highly skilled, but she's a pleasure to talk to and I always look forward to spending time with her. She is the sweetest and has such a good heart. I highly recommend Pheakdey for hair care and eyelash extensions!“

“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!“

“Rebecca is the queen of natural hair and makeup in the Bay Area. I hired her for my bridal party, and she brought out everyone's best features while keeping the look natural and comfortable -- just the most elevated version of themselves. And the hair -- the HAIR! -- was shockingly stunning. She made my girls look like they had extensions, even without them. Every request was nailed effortlessly, and everyone's look lasted all night with zero skin issues. Rebecca is also flexible and kind, staying late without hesitation to accommodate extra services. She's a genius at what she does and the exact kind of calm, positive energy you want on your wedding day. If you want to look natural yet flawless, book her. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat.“

“After reading rave reviews about Nicole I decided to book my first ever eyelash extension and Nicole did a phenomenal job! Her studio is calm and inviting, the chair you lay on while you’re getting your lashes is so comfortable, I almost fell asleep! Nicole is a gem; she is a perfectionist at what she does and uber talented. I can’t wait to see her in a few weeks for a full! Thank you so much Nicole!! I’m loving my lashes :)“

“This salon is hands down the best one I've been to in the bay- Hector was incredible as was his assistant (Kenya?!). They made me feel so comfortable and beautiful. I felt pampered the entire time, and seeing Hector truly enjoying himself styling, cutting, and coloring my hair made me feel so confident! They are all so kind and easy to be with so the vibe in the studio is so warm. I can't wait to show off my new long bob, and have all my friends come here“

“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.“

“I have been to several lash lift places, and none of them compare to Allure. I currently live in LA, but come back to visit family in the Bay Area every so often. When I do plan a trip up here, I make sure to schedule an appointment with Winnie! She is the best! She really knows what she is doing (always fixes my lashes when I’ve made the mistake of visiting other places, haha) and is so kind and sweet. I highly recommend! If you’re debating on whether or not you should get your lashes lifted, trust me when I say you won’t regret coming here!“

“Naomi saved my hair after a traumatic balayage I got while traveling. I am very happy with how my hair turned out and I highly recommend Naomi if you need a color correction or balayage. She’s very attentive to your specific needs, and will make your hair look it’s best.“

“Thank you for make us feel special for my Aunts 80th birthday. You made us feel comfortable and make up was natural,still felt like ourselves“

“Amazing vibes and love that they treat each other like family and their clients. Kat, SUCH an AMAZING soul and hands because every time, she never seems to fail when doing my hair. I come all the way from Santa Rosa area (Sonoma County) JUST FOR HER SERVICES. Haven't been able to find someone closer and reasonable in price so I stopped looking..“

“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!“

“This is my favorite hair salon in San Francisco with a great location and high end ambiance. I received top notch service and I highly recommend Diva salon. What an incredible experience. I had a gorgeous Birthday haircut by Diva and highlights and style by TT. Wow stunning! Andrew has unremarkable ways to make me happy with this one of a kind hair salon. I felt taken care of and I can’t wait to book again. This place goes above and beyond.

Stylist: Diva for a haircut
TT for highlights and style“

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

“Sonam did such a great job with my wedding looks! She did my mehendi, wedding, and reception saree draping and hair/makeup. She listened to what I wanted and made sure I was happy and comfortable the whole time!“

“Brittany has been the absolute best! I’ve been on my glass skin journey for my wedding over the past 6 months and I came across skin by Brittany. Brittany has helped me significantly throughout this time and helped me reach my goal! I’ve had a microneedling session, bio repeel, and hydrofacial and I can tell you my skin is GLOWING like never before. She uses very good products and really listens to your needs and bases your facials around that. She is so thoughtful, sweet, and truly amazing at what she does! She makes every experience very comfortable, relaxing, and enjoyable. She’s also so kind and gives samples of some of her favorite products that has continued to transform my skin! Everyone should get your facials by Brittany!!!“

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

“I know Alisa Flammier for many years and your dedication to the art work and aesthetic is inspiring me and other artists as one of her clients I recommend to come and see her work you will love it!“

“Felicia did amazing- she recreated the exact look I wanted and paid so much attention to detail. No make up smudges even though that tends to happen to me. Hair stayed perfectly in place the whole time. It was a great natural but elevated/classy look. Couldn’t recommend enough, brides!“

“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!!“

“Maria did a great job executing the makeup look I wanted for my event. She was very attentive to detail, which I really appreciated. She made sure I was happy with my look throughout the process. The whole process went smoothly. Maria is very talented, kind, professional, generous, & has a great vibe. Will definitely book her for future events!! Because I know that it will be one less thing I have to worry about lol“

“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!“

“I have been seeing and following Dede for over 20 years. I started seeing her at Maiden Lane when I was 15 years old and she was the first person to shape my eyebrows. I always get complimented on them thanks to Dede. She is incredibly talented and can texturize my eyebrows like no one else. Where Dede goes, I go! I am very particular about my eyebrows and love that she never rushes anything and takes the time needed. She keeps my eyebrows up to date on trends yet still keeps them classy and full. When it comes to eyebrows, Dede is la crème de la crème.“

“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.“

“Ada Garcia is an absolutely amazing and talented hair stylist! She has been helping me with my hair for 17 years! Without a doubt, she is the best in the Bay Area and San Francisco. Every time I visit her salon, my hair looks perfect, and I feel incredible when I leave. Her attention to detail and expertise are unmatched. I can't recommend her enough!“

“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!“

“Dwight Davis is a genius hairstylist, a rockstar and an all around cool person. I’ve done lots of colors, shapes and textures with my hair thanks to him. He was referred to me by a friend- we both have long curly hair which he’s done a great job with. Super cute little space, 2 chairs, very personal and professional at the same time.“
