Makeup near Orinda

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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've been going to Salon Cartier more than 10 years (15??--it's been a while). It's always been the best experience and I look forward to it every time. It goes without saying, Robin and her crew do an amazing job on my hair, but they also make it feel like the most welcoming and friendly environment, almost like hanging out with friends who happen to be extremely serious about making you look good.

I had pretty long hair when I started going there--and I used to think long hair was kind of self-sustaining and didn't require much attention, but I was amazed at how much they were able to do with it to really make me look great--more rock-and-roll and less barbarian hippie (which is where I think I was at when I started with them). Eventually my hair got a bit thin and my hairline was giving me trouble, and I decided to go with a shorter look, that I've stuck with now for years, and it's a great look that downplays any struggles I've had with my quality and quantity of hair. They also do an amazing job on the color--it looks totally natural, though they can make your gray hair look awesome, too, if you decide to go that route.

Anyway, Salon Cartier is highly recommended by me--some men feel weird about going to a premium salon, but you'll feel right at home and it's totally worth it.“

“Petra is an amazing hair colorist, she's worth every $, I highly recommend her.“

“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.“

“Ms. Karen is truly exceptional with kids! She promised our daughter would leave feeling like a princess, and she absolutely delivered - both our little girl and boy love their haircuts with her. Ms. Karen is patient, gentle, and makes the whole experience fun and stress-free, even for little ones who are usually nervous. We always leave with big smiles, beautiful haircuts and a toy/lollipop/balloon that little ones get to pick from. Highly recommend - our family won’t go anywhere else!“

“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.“

“I've had my share of curly haircuts, good and bad. Rania is hands down the best stylist that I have ever experienced. Curly hair can be challenging. Rania is liked a skilled surgeon, working with precision and care. I receive so many compliments on my hair. For years I've gone into the City for my haircuts. It's an added bonus to find someone as talented as Rania closer to home. Rania is 10 stars in my book!“

“Nora is the best colorist hands down! I travelled 3 hours roundtrip, for six months to continue seeing her once I moved to Elk Grove. Her haircuts are always on point and she is one of the most sweetest and kindest people you will ever meet. I've stayed with her for over 6 years and I wish I could clone her so I wouldn't have to drive so far. My daughter (who is now 6) would always ask to go see Nora because that is how warm and welcoming she is. Don't let her age fool you, as her natural talent with scissors and coloring is outstanding. Her mentor, Amy, is also a master colorist and a thoughtful, client-centered business woman. She cares for her clients and always has snacks for everyone and offers high end haircare lines that I can't find anywhere else! Going from black hair to looking like a "natural" blond and every color in between, takes skilled hands and an eye for artistry. I can't say enough of how amazing the salon and Nora are. I would continue to drive 3 hours to see Nora if it weren't for the fact that I work full time and have two kiddos now doing sports on the weekends. Walnut Creek has no idea what an amazing salon and talent they have just off of Mt. Diablo blvd!“

“I've been getting facials with Chris for over a year now and I couldn't be happier to have her in charge of my skin care! Chris is knowledgeable in dealing with many different skin issues (acne, dark spots, dry skin) and I always walk out of her studio with that "snatched" face look. I love that Chris is always bringing the latest technology into her studio, now offering micro-derm and micro-current treatments. I feel like my skin has never looked better!“

“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 cannot say enough wonderful things about Janea and the magic she worked on my wedding day! From the moment we started the trial session to the final touches on the big day, her professionalism, artistry, and warmth were unmatched.
She truly listened to my vision and made me feel so comfortable, while also offering suggestions to ensure the makeup enhanced my natural beauty. On my wedding day, I felt absolutely stunning. The makeup was flawless and lasted the entire day. I never once needed a touch-up. Her attention to detail is incredible. Janea is so talented at creating radiant, photo-ready skin, while still ensuring I looked like me, just the most polished, glowing version of myself.
To top it off, she brought such a calming presence to the getting-ready process, which really set the tone for an stress-free morning. I received endless compliments on my makeup, and looking back at my photos, I’m still in awe of how perfect everything looked.
If you’re searching for a makeup artist for your wedding (or any special occasion), look no further. Janea is truly an artist, and hiring her was one of the best decisions I made. I cannot recommend her enough!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Patricia is a talented hair dresser! My curly hair got a new bounce thanks to her!! I was lucky to get a last minute appointment and she gave me an amazing layered cut in just a half an hour!! 5 stars!!! I’m excited that her salon is close to my place because I found my new go-to hair dresser for my curly hair!!“

“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 was gifted a premium luxe facial for Mothers Day and it was the best experience. You can tell Aubrie really cares about the services she provides, it wasn't only relaxing but my skin was glowing afterwards. Her studio is spotless and I cannot wait to go back!“

“Claire is fantastic and keeps me coming back year after year. Amanda her partner has also worked on my hair and is equally great.“

“so talented and sweet. the whole shop is very inviting. she always delivers what im looking for, which is not easy with all this hair i have! been coming for years and i leave smiling every time.“

“Trenell is magic! The best in her business. I'm pretty picky because I want my hair taken care of and a beautiful finish and she provides that. On top of that she's the most friendly and helpful person. She has a light and energy that makes spending time in her chair fun and time passes easily. But that's not the key to why I adore her, it's her care and knowledge about hair. Thank you Trenell!!“

“Best blow out ever. I mean that, my hair is so hard to get straight. I loved the vibe here. My stylist was amazing and did exactly what I had asked for. Great salon and great stylists.“
