Makeup near San Carlos

“Elena was wonderful! She highlighted and trimmed my hair exactly as I described, and the results looked super natural while still feeling healthy and smooth. She offered thoughtful advice and expertise when I asked, and she worked much faster than other stylists I’ve seen without sacrificing quality. I’ll definitely be going back!“

“Ana is so talented at what she does. My husband goes to her for his haircuts and she always does an amazing job. Yesterday, I made an appointment for my mother-in-law for roots. When she saw her hair, she explained that a root touch up will not look even as her hair was faded into multiple colors. Red is a very tough color to get right, but she nailed it! She showed me which color she will be using and made sure it was to my mother-in-law's liking. Ana took so much care when doing her hair, she paid attention to every detail and took her time to make sure she gets it perfectly done. When I saw my mother-in-law's end result, I was so shocked. It looked AMAZING! Thank you so much for making my mother-in-law so happy. We will definitely be back! Try Ana and you will surely be pleased.“

“Grisel did a great job with my brows and lashes. She was very meticulous and clearly experienced. I am very happy with my now symmetrical brows and will be a repeat customer.“

“the best makeup artists in the Bay Area. I went for my engagement makeup, hair down curls with Jira. She is so great and defiantly will work with her for my wedding in 2025 July.“

“John the Barber does great men’s haircuts here! He used to work at Sam’s on Lytton around the corner. Same price now at Color Theory. I tried ~10 barbers in PA and RWC and my wife liked John’s cuts the best, so he’s been cutting my hair for a few years now. 10/10 recommend!“

“Only place i cut my hair at!!!! Karina is amazing at what she does. My hair always looks better that what i envision and i love it.“

“I recently had one of the most incredible facials I’ve ever experienced, given by Kristen, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about it. From the moment I walked in, I felt completely at ease. The space was calming, spotless, and beautifully designed — the perfect environment to relax and unwind.

The facial itself was exceptional. Kristen explained every step thoughtfully, and the products felt luxurious and perfectly suited to my skin. The treatment was both deeply relaxing and incredibly effective. I left feeling refreshed and glowing — my skin looked noticeably brighter, smoother, and more hydrated immediately.

What really stood out was Kristen’s level of care and attention to detail. It didn’t feel rushed at all; it felt personalized and intentional. You can tell she has genuine passion and expertise in what she does.

If you’re looking for a facial that is both results-driven and truly rejuvenating, I highly recommend booking with Kristen. I’m already looking forward to my next appointment!“

“Have been going with my girl Regina for a while now, maybe even a year. I refuse to go anywhere else, she’s incredible! So detailed and always knows exactly how I like my brows. I can’t recommend her enough“

“I’m very happy with my hair cut. Vera explained the process of getting my hair where I want it to be leaving me with no more questions to ask. I look forward to booking my next visit with her.“

“This review is for Lyn. I had been going to salons recommended by friends in San Francisco, Santa Clara and some in between for the last couple years. Every time I showed the hair dresser how I wanted my hair style to look on my phone. They glanced at it and cut my hair the way they wanted/knew how. I could usually tell where things went wrong (when they started cutting my hair horizontally), but I was half way thru the cut already and had to console myself that I could look for a new salon next time. My search can stop now (sigh of relief). Yesterday Lyn gave me a cut I was finally happy with! She asked to see the look on my phone half way thru the hair cut, trying to ensure she gave me the result I wanted. And she succeeded. She seems very experienced with my straight coarse hair, saying she would trim it just so to give it movement. And she succeeded again! Thanks again, Lyn!“

“I went to La Reve for the first time today, and really enjoyed my experience. I got a trim and layers from Maddie. She communicated well and listened to my needs. She really took her time and did a wonderful job on my haircut! The salon has a nice atmosphere and parking was easy on California Ave. Really good price for the quality of service as well. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Sara is a very talented makeup artist. She did my makeup for my wedding and also did my makeup for a video shoot I recently had. She knows how to accentuate beauty without making you look unrecognizable or clownish. She also knows the difference between what is needed for a photo shoot vs video vs real life. If you have an important event coming up, don't risk going to anyone else. Sara is a true professional. She has tons of experience and can handle all types of skin, people, and looks. She will also listen to what you want and make it happen. I've had my makeup done by others in the past, but no one is as good as Sara.“

“Jade was my stylist today and she did such an incredible job. I am so in love with my hair!!! I got exactly what I wanted.

She washed my hair and gave me an incredible head massage while she was at it and it was truly life-changing.

She’s also so personable, funny, and sweet! If you’re in her chair, you’re in good hands.

I will definitely be going back! Thank you, Jade!“

“I came in and was greeted immediately, my stylist Monica introduced herself sat me down and had a consultation about what my needs were. She took her time to cut my hair and style it not to mention the head massage during the head wash was amazing. My overall service was great! Thank Monica for your great customer service and work“

“We fly all the way from Palm Beach, Florida just to see Michelle—and she is worth every mile. Her ability to transform hair is pure artistry. She has an incredible eye, effortlessly choosing tones that perfectly complement your complexion and enhance your natural features.

Her balayage is seamless and so natural that my mom is constantly stopped and asked where she gets her hair done. Beyond her talent, Michelle is deeply knowledgeable about everything she uses—from color to shampoo to conditioning treatments—ensuring your hair not only looks beautiful but stays healthy.

If you want your hair to look truly incredible, go to Michelle. I fly cross country to see her, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else.“

“Thank you for working your magic on me, my daughter, and my best friend, making us look stunning yet effortlessly natural for my son's wedding. You arrived punctually and stayed true to your timeline, which made the day run so smoothly. You listened attentively to all my requests and graciously accommodated every detail. Your warmth and ease made us feel so comfortable--like you were part of the family. Having you handle our hair and makeup truly took the stress out of getting ready. I was amazed at how flawless everything stayed from morning until late at night! You clearly have a gift for making people feel and look their best. I highly recommend you and will definitely call you for our next event. Thank you, Elena! ~Maria~“

They’re not only super knowledgeable about current styles and hair health but also take the time to listen and understand what you want. My hair always comes out amazing after each visit the cut, color, and styling are consistently on point. I leave feeling confident and refreshed every time. If you’re looking for a salon that combines expertise with great vibes, this is it!“

“I have never been to a SuperCuts or any other haircut place ever since I first went to Primp. Whenever I went to other haircut places, there were lots of issues. The waits were long, the place was loud and uncomfortable, and the stylists were unprofessional. I often left those places with a cut I didn't even like. Primp is the complete opposite of that. There is hardly any waiting (note, you need to schedule an appointment beforehand), the atmosphere is calming and welcoming, and the stylists are amazing at what they do. They clearly have experience and are skilled in treating all kinds of hair types. They'll make sure you leave looking exactly how you want to look, whether you're getting a haircut, a hairdo, makeup, or more.

The location is in a calm spot, its proximity to the train station being the only disturbance. Even then, that just makes this place more accessible by transit. There's usually parking nearby, and the convenience store next door is nice if you want a snack before or after your appointment. Overall, a 5/5 experience every time. Shout-out to Loulou!“

“Cindy is the best!!! She knows all hair types, and EXTRA thick is one of her specialties. Which is SO hard to find.“

“The atmosphere in this beauty salon is very relaxing. Because of the stylists' style and demeanor, you will not feel intimidated. There is no pressure to overdo anything in terms of fashion style or hair unless you want to. In addition, they use excellent products at just the right price. It is also a pleasure to work with Sasha's mother, she does color, and hairstyle just beautiful. It is always a pleasure to work with Sasha on make up, and she listens to what you want, whether casual or more formal. The place is wonderful and highly recommended if you want a relaxing experience and the hair and make-up you really desire. El ambiente en este salón de belleza es muy relajante. Debido al estilo y comportamiento de los estilistas, no se sentirá intimidado. No hay presión para exagerar nada en términos de estilo de moda o cabello a menos que lo desee. Además, utilizan excelentes productos al precio justo. Siempre es un placer trabajar con Sasha y su madre bien sea en el maquillaje, tu cabello, el color porque ellas escuchan y respetan lo que quieres, ya sea casual o más formal. El lugar es maravilloso y muy recomendable si quieres una experiencia relajante y el peinado y maquillaje que realmente deseas.“

“I have been here 3 times for haircut with Yolanda. I'm really satisfied with the service and like that she spends good amount of time and doesn't rush through the appointment. I've had bad experience at other salons in the bay area and I'm happy I found this place. Tha ambiance is nice and cozy. They use all aveda products. Highly recommend for haircut services!“
