The Brow and Skin Studio with Apothecary

Came in a week ago for a brow design with Reyda. Reyda was very kind and informative. Took the time to tweeze my brows and give me a new shape that I truly needed. Wow! She did great! It really gave me a brighter youthful look. What a difference a new shape can do for a face!!! I will come back. It is expensive to come here but I think if you’re looking to splurge on yourself and need to feel better about your appearance… This is the place to go! Btw my tweezing brow session was about an hour long… In case anyone wants to know.

I have only tried eyebrow tinting here so I cannot speak for their other services. But I would NOT recommended getting your eyebrows tinted here! Called ahead asked how long it would last, they originally said 3 weeks. Arrived in the store, the answer was two weeks. Final result…1 day if that! Complete waste of money. And they tried to up sale me last minute while I was paying for a $ 40 «bridal design tweeze». I’m not getting married and I wish you could’ve seen the few hairs that needed to be touched up which were APPARENTLY $ 40 dollars worth. They ended only making me pay $ 25.00. But the website expresses it will be $ 20.09 and then the extra $ 5 is for «special» developer which will make them last longer. BS. Overall, would not recommend, their intentions seem sketchy. Proceed with caution and eyes WIDE open!

The Brow and Skin Studio is the BEST. You can’t go wrong with either of the lovely ladies who work here. Previously, I would have my brows done by Rowena (until she moved out of state — you are missed!) I have also had them done by Christina (amazing) and most recently Rayda — thank you ALL so much! You gals are equally amazing. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I have been going to the Brow and Skin Studio now for 10 years! They do a great job on brows with shaping and tint. Christina is adorable and meticulous. I’ve referred several people here– mostly when their brows are rather wretched and they should simply put down the tweezer and get help.
Lately I went to skin boot camp with Rayda in preparation for my wedding. I am amazed! Age had caught up with me and I thought there was nothing to be done. I’ve had facials but with no strong results. After a series of treatments AND getting some real products for my skin issues– I’m amazed that I had no idea this was available to bring back me! I’m stunned and highly recommend the ladies of Brow and Skin Studio. Go — you will be happy.

Rayda & Christina are amazing! I’ve gotten my brows waxed by both. Rayda tinted my brows and they look great. Salon is nice and everyone is super friendly. Would highly recommend!

I was looking forward to getting my brows done here I came in at 10am to see if I could get an appointment/​walk in waited till 10:37 and still no show :(eyebrows look great in reviews my one star is just the time wait for doors to even open, and I understand things can come up but I really wish I could’ve came in. Please contact me so I can change my review 8 587 171 271

The Brow & Skin Studio is by far the best place to have your eyebrows shaped & waxed. I have always gone to Rowina, but I found out she recently moved, so I was taken care of by the owner, Rayda, she did a great job. I feel like I got a mini eyelift, since it’s been a while since I had my brows waxed. As usual they look perfect, I honestly would trust anyone that works there to do my brows, as they are all trained by Rayda and give the same attention to detail. I love all the products they use when doing facials or any of their 5 star treatments, I love that you can purchase all products in their shop as well, nice that they are unique and most can only be found in upscale boutiques or salons.

Found this sweet little place today. I had Rayada (I believe that is her name) and she is very knowledgeable about the skin! I went to get just a wax and they had me fill out a lot of paperwork about my skin and she even asked me many questions about my skin as well so she could properly take care of it with the wax. Absolutely love it here!

This salon is really nice, clean, and peaceful. I came in here to get my eyebrows/​upper lip/​chin waxed, on my impromptu day off, because my main estheticians were all booked that day.
I was really happy to get an appointment right away and I felt much better after the necessary waxing. Christina did a great job and she is very friendly.
Only reason why I wouldn’t come here as my first choice is due to pricing. $ 72 (after tip) is pretty steep for brows, upper lip, and chin. At least you can get some freebies with check-​in here!

Loyal and happy client! I’ve been coming here since they opened over 10 years ago. Now I bring my two teenage daughters! We are so thankful for their kindness, knowledge and professionalism. Everybody in the salon is absolutely wonderful. Truly a Huntington Beach treasure when it comes to brow design and facials!

I love the care I get from Christmas. My skin looks amazing under her gentle attentive care. I totally trust her advice.

Cristina is the best. She’s been my aesthetician for over 5 years. I’ve received brow, Brazilian, and lip waxes from her. She is an absolute professional and a total sweetheart. She is gentle and attentive to all my needs.
Cristina is also very knowledgeable about dermatology and has answered all my random questions about hair growth cycles and after-​wax care. She also gives great advice on makeup, hair, and products (although she nor any others have ever pressured sales on me).
I highly recommend Cristina!
The receptionist is always welcoming and has lovely skin herself.
The studio is always clean. Energy and thought has definitely been placed into the décor to create a soothing and luxurious ambiance.
(Unfortunately, I moved away. But trying other studios makes me appreciate The Brow and Skin Studio even more.)

Frustrated and disappointed. This was not my first time having my eyebrows waxed here, but it was my first time having them done by the owner. She was friendly and willing to answer questions about other products and skincare in general. Before the waxing started, I let her know that my brows were thinning in certain spots and I had been growing them out for a few months to give them a chance to fill in. I pointed out the areas and asked that she not wax or tweeze in that area. I let her know that, overall, I wanted them to be as full as possible but shapely. Unfortunately, she did not listen. When she was finished, my eyebrows were angular and thinned out in the areas I’ve spent months trying to regrow. The areas I didn’t mention not to touch were not waxed or shaped at all. I’m disappointed and hope that my brows will be able to fill back in in yet another few months. She also didn’t ask what kind of products I use on my skin, so when she did the first area, my skin came off and is red and irritated.
Overall, the employees – front desk and estheticians – have always been very friendly and professional. The space is clean and calming, which is what you’d usually expect from this kind of business. They are consistent in offering you something to drink before and after your appointment, and are not pushy in terms of trying to sell you products or other services.

Rowena is fabulous! She listens to your concerns and makes recommendations based on them. She understands how to treat very sensitive skin. She gave me the 1^st facial that I actually enjoyed & my skin could tolerate. She also works wonders with eyebrows. So glad I found her!

I am so happy I found this place! My eyebrows were just sitting on my face and not looking pretty at all! I have been to so many places and most places do threading and they do a super quick job. I am so happy I found Rowena. She really took her time and shaped my eyebrows to perfection. The job that Rowena done was excellent. I was so happy I scheduled a facial :)

This review is LONG overdue! Rowena has been doing my eyebrows for over 5 years and I will never go to anyone else!
If you are looking for someone to do your brows, look no further! Rowena is EXTREMELY talented. For many years, the shape of my eyebrows did not compliment my face. They made my eyes look smaller, and my overall expression look flat & dull. After my first appointment with Rowena, I started receiving compliments on how much better I looked and that my eyes looked bigger and more green! Who would have thought that a great shaped brow could change the appearance of your whole face & eyes— Well, it does!
I’ve gotten my eyebrows done at numerous places throughout New York, Florida and California, and the Brow & Skin Studio is the ONLY place that knows how to truly enhance your facial features through shaping of the brows.

I have been looking for someone who understands how to really shape my brows. I prefer a defined arch and fuller brow line. Most places have given me pencil think brows which are ridiculous on me. Finally found this gem in HB. Christina is AMAZING!

I have been coming to Rayda for 18 years. She has always been professional, caring and friendly with me. Not only is her work on toning, facials and brows the best I’ve ever had but she/​they offer many other expertise. Not only will you get quality work but you will have professionals to help and recommend products that may be needed.

My first Unilocal review and I’m doing it especially for Rowena because she is THAT good at what she does! She does such an amazing job shaping my brows. I have really blonde eyebrows that can be hard to tweeze and was since they are so light and fine, but she does a fantastic job of cleaning them up and tinting them. She always takes her time and makes sure everything looks perfect. And I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone with as happy and cheerful spirit as her. She treats you like a queen. I would definitely recommend her!

Five stars is NOT enough for Rayda. After many years, I finally found someone who was willing to put in the time and work to give me the eyebrow shape I want.
Just so everyone knows, before I went to Rayda, I drove to Beverly Hills to have Anastasia the Queen of Eyebrows (yes, that Anastasia) do my eyebrows. I’m not talking about one of the assistants or Benefit Brow Bar ladies, I mean Anastasia HERSELF. Never again! Rayda is far, far superior.
I can’t get over the compliments I keep getting. I am forever grateful!

Rayda did a completely amazing job! I got my first initial brow design/​shape appt with her and she was able to fix my hair to match my fave shape which made my brows completely work all together… Super happy!

I’ve been seeing Rowena since I was in high school. Due to the fact that I’m Asian, I have really straight and stubborn eyebrow hairs that are difficult to manage (i.e. It’s super hard to make the arch shape that women strive for). I can’t see Rowena as often as I like since I live in Boston now but whenever I visit California, I try my best to see her because I cannot trust anyone one else to touch my eyebrows.
She’s the person who saved my brows after a horrific event that took place while I was studying abroad in England. I had my eyebrows threaded while I was there but the lady gave me the thinnest brows of my life, they were barely existent. Rowena had me grow my eyebrows out while maintaining them at the same time (total eyebrow rehab). It may be a little pricy for someone to transition from cheap threading but it is definitely an investment and no threading/​waxing place will stare at your brows for 30 minutes, making them perfect.
