Best Beauty Salons In Santa Monica

“Mina is the best!! She is beyond talented and such a lovely person. I've been out in LA for over 7 years and had never gotten my hair highlighted out here before (I always waited till I visited home in Arkansas to get my hair done), but my friend recommended Mina and I couldn't be happier with my hair! As a blonde, I love getting icy blonde highlights with toner, and she absolutely delivered. Mina is phenomenal -- I'm thrilled to finally have a go-to hairstylist in LA. Plus her salon is beautiful and such a relaxing environment. 1000000% recommend!“

“I have very fine, very sparse, light colored lashes that point Down! And I'm older and have never had any kind of lash treatment. I found LashPilot with the help of ChatGPT and Yelp, and I feel very lucky I did. Tram, the owner, walked me through every step of a "lash lift" (it's kind of a perm for lashes) and a lash tint (suddenly you can see my lashes!) answered all my questions, and then she Totally transformed my eyes. I have sensitive eyes, but nothing bothered them at all. She is a magician. And she's so sweet, patient, kind. Her studio is cozy and she and her co-worker made me feel comfortable and cared for. HIGHLY recommended.“

“I came in for eyelash extensions and had such a great experience. Olga was friendly, efficient, and did a beautiful job on my lashes. Since I’m new to lash extensions, Charity was also helpful in guiding me through the different styles and making sure I chose the one that suited me best. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend!“

“For a long time i absolutely hated this spot because management is so rude and mean.... Until i met the lash artist Mary. She is an EXPERT in lash designs that fit your face and communicates so clearly on what you can get while demonstrating how the curl will apply to your own downward facing or upward facing lashes. She doesn't let you leave until you're satisfied & genuinely cares and takes passion in her work. The reason why certain CC Curls, M Curls, D curls don't look the same on your eye vs someone else's eye is because of your eye shape, whether you have a long mid face and or if you have downward facing lashes), strong long lashes or short volume lashes. These all play a role into * what curl to get (C, CC, M, L curl), * what style to get (fox eye, cat eye, doll eye) * what accent (wispy, wet effect, raised peaks, open eye) * weight (0.15 mm, 0.10 mm, 0.07 mm) * length (8-14 mm) * color (black, chocolate brown) My favorite everyday look: * CC Curl * Classic * Fox Eye/Cat Eye/Open Eye * Middle 11/12 mm pin eye * Rays 12-14 mm (14 on the corner for foxy effect) * overall 8-12 mm * 14 mm wispy accent peaks * Brown * 0.15 thickness" My favorite special events look: * 2D * M curl * wet effect * foxy eye * 8-12 mm 14 mm peaks“

“Exceptional Lash Experience with Ashley

I recently had the pleasure of having my lashes done by Ashley, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. As someone who was a bit nervous after over a year since my last appointment, Ashley's professionalism and warm demeanor immediately put me at ease.

Throughout the process, Ashley's organization and attention to detail were truly impressive. She took the time to walk me through each step, ensuring I was comfortable and informed. Her expertise was evident in the final result, as my lashes turned out exactly how I had envisioned.

What truly stood out was how Ashley made the entire experience enjoyable; time flew by during the two-hour session. I left feeling pampered, satisfied, and already looking forward to booking my next appointment with her.

If you're looking for a talented and personable lash artist, I highly recommend Ashley for a top-notch service that exceeds expectations.“
