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!“

“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!!!“

Will definitely being going back and have already recommended her to friends. Black hair is before.Services: Curly hair“

“Just booked my 3rd appointment with Dayna at Lyon St. and I love her. I have curls / waves in my hair and she is talented with them. She strikes the perfect balance for me of listening to my hair journey and providing recommendations based in her years of experience. You can tell that she wants you to happy with your hair. Her booking communication is fast and easy, salon is gorgeous in the afternoon sun too. I know exactly what I can expect with her and that makes getting my haircut simple and lovely. Dayna is a no-brainer when the goal is to have healthy, happy hair.“

“Choosing April was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. From the very beginning, everything felt clear, professional, and stress free. Pricing was fully transparent (trial, day-of, early start, wedding party), and her email communication leading up to the wedding was incredibly helpful including timelines, prep tips, and extension recommendations. I always knew exactly what to expect.

The trial was 100% worth it. It allowed us to get a feel for each other, and I even used the glam look for pre-wedding photos which was a great bonus. It helped me see how everything photographed and how it felt on my face throughout the day, which gave me so much confidence going into the wedding.

On the wedding day, we had an extremely early start (4:30 AM!), and April and her team arrived energized, prepared, and ready to go. I ended up shifting my color palette and changing the front face-framing of my hair, and April was completely adaptable. The result was perfect. I felt beautiful but more importantly, I felt like myself.

If you want a makeup artist who is organized, talented, flexible, and truly cares about making you feel confident and seen, April is it. I couldn’t recommend her more!“

“Jay cut my hair after an at home attempt and it was shorter than I usually wear it, but he is an artist. I love my hair and will be a long time client. Thank you.“

“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 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 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!“

“I've been using Maria Lee's skincare products for the last couple of years and I'm so impressed with the changes that I've seen in my skin. I'm in my mid 50s and got the anti-aging set from her and the difference in my skin is so noticeable. I like her high-quality ingredients and the way they smell and of course most importantly they are actually helping me look younger!“

“Natalie was very friendly and professional, and I loved the way my lashes looked after getting a lash lift!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“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 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 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.“

“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 :)“

“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!“

They offer all kinds of services for both men and women , so if you are looking for a new place to go this is it !“
