Beauty By Rizalva in the Kaleidescope

Yesterday was my first visit to Rizalva, but it definitely will not be my last! For years I was told my eyebrows could not be shaped very symmetrically, but that is exactly the result I got from Rizalva. They look fantastic and the tinting she recommended makes my green eyes pop! Rizalva is warm, personable, and clearly passionate about her work. Her skill and precision are extraordinary! I highly recommend her – you will come out of her studio looking and feeling much better!

I was referred to Rizalva by my friend, who got the permanent makeup on her eyebrows. Even after 5 days, I thought her eyebrows looked great so I made an appointment. I felt immediately at ease with Rizalva. She was very warm, professional, and very knowledgeable. She used numbing cream so it felt like someone was tweezing my eyebrows. My eyebrows were very dark at first, but I knew this was going to happen. It healed just after 4 days. It looked great! Rizalva told me to come 4 – 6 weeks later for the second touch up, which is included in the price. I just came in for my second touch up, and she still spent 1-​hour touching up and making it perfect. I think she really understands what eyebrow shape looks best on different faces. I had wanted a certain look originally, and she convinced me that it didn’t work with my face. She was absolutely right. I love my new eyerbows, and I don’t have to spend any time doing my eyebrows in the morning. She said my skin tone took the color well, and I might not have to do any touch up for two years. This was well worth the investment. After 4 more days, I will take a picture and update my post with my final look.

Unfortunately I had to update my review. I came here earlier this week to get a touch up because my eyebrows are patchy & faded. Rizalva refused to do it because she «doesn’t see anything wrong & they look perfect!» She wasted over an hour of my time arguing & ridiculing me. I am the paying customer. If I want them a certain way she should do that. I didn’t pay her a bunch of money for her to do my eyebrows the way she thinks they should be.

Rizalva is totally amazing! I’ve wanted to have my eyebrows shaped and dyed professional since forever. I won a gift certificate at a networking meeting and it’s the best thing that ever happened to me. Rizalva was able to shape and dye my grey hair away and now I look so much younger and am more confident when I’m around people. I have already recommended her to five of my friends! So professional, I love her and can’t wait to return!

I went to Rizalva yesterday after searching EVERYWHERE for a good eyebrow shaper. Bought an Eyebrow Shaping session from Groupon for $ 15 which is a great deal especially if the person doing it knows what they’re doing. Rizalva is so sweet and professional and has a very clean studio. Made me feel comfortable from the get go. After shaping my brows I decided to have her dye them as well. I am so extremely happy with them and so happy I finally found someone nearby that I can start going to. She really takes her time and gives tips on how to pencil them in correctly on a daily basis and matching color, etc. It was really nice and a great experience. THANK YOU RIZALVA!

This woman is amazing! So kind and professional. She makes you feel so comfortable and you leave with no bikini bumps what’s so ever! Also when it comes to eyebrows she knows what she is doing! I have had people mess up or make my eyebrows look uneven and she won’t let you leave with bad brows! I have gone to her for a year now and won’t go anywhere else! Plus I love the compliments I get on my eyebrows now!

Best eyebrow shaper in South Orange County. Rizalva takes the time to trim wax tweeze and thread until brows are perfect and there is not one hair out of place. My brows haven’t looked this good in years. Glad I found her

I love coming here to get my eyebrows and waxing done! I highly recommend and will keep returning. Clean and friendly place and I am always happy with the eyebrow shaping. She is the best

I was referred to Rizalva by a co-​worker who had her Eyebrows done with Permanent Makeup. I must say, its the best decision and investment I have ever made. I was always made fun of when I was younger because I went from having a Uni-​brow to having skinny uneven eyebrows thanks to my mothers pathetic attempt at re-​shaping and fixing them. Although I am confident in my overall appearance and look, I have always been self conscience about my eyebrows. I am now SO HAPPY that they are even and almost perfect looking. I am due for my free touch-​up next weekend and they will look even more perfect! Thank you Rizalva, I will be recommending you to anyone who ask about my eyebrows and will be coming back for more of your other services.

Rizalva is a shinning diamond among the rough estheticians I’ve had down there. Not only does she do an amazing thorough job, she cares. She made me feel comfortable and gave advice on how to make my next appointment more smooth and ways to treat my damaged skin back to beauty. After a long back and forth relationship with waxing I am proud to say I have found the women to help me get my personal grooming back to where I’m comfortable enough to prance around in my bikini with no hesitations come spring!
AND my brows look AMAZING, getting them shaped and dyed has brought my face from basic to BAMB!
Thank you Rizalva, can’t wait for our next appointment!

I wanted a fuller, more defined brow, and Rizalva’s work completely exceeded my expectations! She is professional, detail oriented and very sweet! I am beyond happy with her work and will definitely return in the future for any needed touchups on my eyebrows. For anyone interested in permanent eyebrows, Rizalva is the best.

I would definitely recommend Rizalva! I found her on Groupon the week before my wedding for a Brazilian and wanted to take a chance and try it so I would have one less thing to worry about during the honeymoon. She is amazing and took such great care of me! When I mentioned that I was getting married, she took a good look at me and explained that my pictures would turn out better if it got eyebrow shaping, tinting, and waxed my upper lip. I have always just tweezed as needed because I don’t have much hair to begin with, but figured I’m only doing this once and decided to trust her judgement. She was so right! I never realized what a difference a little bit of waxing and tweezing could do and she did it all at an amazing price. I have never understood why some women are so obsessed with waxing, but I will definitely be a repeat customer after the experience that I had.
Thank you, Rizalva!

I went to Rizalva before my wedding to get waxed. She is the sweetest lady ever. I was really nervous but she was so professional and good at what she does! It didn’t hurt nearly as bad as I thought it would. I definitely recommend her and will be returning in the future.
Thanks!

I’m Brazilian and since I’ve moved to the US I’ve been struggling with waxing and threading. Nobody was meeting my expectation (aesthetics is a real thing in Brazil and we expect nothing less than excellence). When I found Rizalva I didn’t think twice and booked my appoint with her. The result? The best brazilian wax in Orange County! I have really sensitive skin and after 2 hours the rash is gone — my husband couldn’t tell I’ve just waxed. She is kind, fast and completely professional — her salon is nothing but neat.
The location is great, but can be tricky if you have never been to Kaleidoscope. Just search for AT&T Store or Yogurtland and you’ll easily find it — Sola Salon. Nice covered parking facility too. I love it! Can’t wait to be back for my brows!

It was my first time coming in for a wax that I had bought online through Groupon. The reason why I gave it four stars not five was that it was really hard to find. I had been to the kaleidoscope many times and never noticed the hidden salon section. When searching for the location I decided to call (twice) the store to make sure I didnt miss my appointment. She didnt answer but I found it and made it just in time!
She was really nice and sweet. It was my first time getting waxed so I was definitely scared and moving alot. She worked with me well and I appreciated her personality. Very open and nice! I will be definitely coming back!

My girlfriend will be getting her monthly Brazilian waxing by Rizalva today. Woohoo! Rizalva does such a great job and she’s the only one my girlfriend trusts to do it right and pain free. No bumps, no rash, just a clean pain free experience for her.
Guys! Get your girlfriend a gift certificate for something YOU can enjoy too!

Got a great deal thru groupon for a Brazilian wax! First time getting waxed using wax, I had only been sugared before so I was kind of nervous since I have sensitive skin. She was kind, fast, & a complete professional! The salon location is super cool too. I thought I was going to get a bumps or rash so that’s why I booked it a couple of days before my Vegas trip but nope! my skin was in great condition! She makes you feel super comfortable so don’t be nervous if its your first time she has been doing this for years and is very professional. She’s super sweet. Great service I recommend!
P. S. GPS her salon from her website not Unilocal ( Unilocal sent me to a residential area Idk why) I got lost lol The Salon is located at the kaleidescope.

I saw Rizalva for permanent makeup (eyebrows) just last week. I liked her as soon as I met her, she was so sweet and welcoming. It was really cold that day so she put a heater on and gave me a soft blanket to make me as comfortable as possible. She colored in my brows to show me where the permanent makeup would be, to be sure that I liked it first. Then she numbed my brows and finished the whole process within an hour.
I’ve had my eyebrows done before a few years ago somewhere else and it took a lot longer and wasn’t as painless. I’m happy I found Rizalva! I’m looking forward to seeing her for my touchup in 4 weeks.

Just went for my touch up, this woman is magic! My brows look great and she is so talented and sweet! If you have ever considered doing semi permanent brows, this is the place for you! I was terrified until I saw how great they turned out on a friend! Now I have beautiful brows when I wake up, swim, work out, you name it. Rizalva is amazing!

Ended up hating my permanent eyebrow makeup and I felt like I was pressured into it when I was there because Rizalva said she would give me $ 80 off if I did it right then. I thought about it a little bit, this was a huge deal for me, and then she said that I had already taken up an hour of her time just deciding and that that would cost me $ 20 but that the money could go towards my permanent eyebrow makeup application. Long story short, I went through with it, ended up hating them; called Rizalva desperately looking for help to remove them and also emailed her about getting my money back since she made them much too dark for me (I am white blonde) really the reason why I hated them so much and she never emailed me back. I do think that she means no harm, but bottom line she is trying to run her own business, and I was just business to her — not a person. This was THE BIGGEST REGRET OF MY ENTIRE LIFE. Don’t do it, and if you do and you hate them — contact Carol Packman for removal. I just had my second removal session today. It’s no fun, but we have to do what we need to do to be happy. Rizalva if you read this, I do hope you can understand from my perspective. I would not want anyone to be in my shoes right now. Your natural self is always your best self!
Update: just had my third removal session. Yes, 5 months later and I am still trying to remove these dark brows. I’m sorry Rizalva, but your response to my review is simply unfair. Of course I WANTED to like my brows (knowing they are permanent), and I JUST had them done when I wrote that review. So I was trying my hardest to be positive and to learn to like them, but in my head I was freaking out at the fact that I did something permanent to my face that I hated. It’s not your fault, but I think any other professional would have at the VERY LEAST given me my $ 320 back. I am now paying more in removal sessions. That would be fair and professional. This has gotten in the way of my happiness TREMENDOUSLY and I mean it when I say I truly don’t want any girl to be in my shoes. I had these dark brows that make me so SAD every day on my WEDDING DAY and I still have them as I am hoping to start a family. So I am sorry for my review, but this has like I said, disturbed my happiness and my plans. So I am very sorry for my review, but I just need to be honest. I would probably not even be writing any of this if you had just simply given me my money back. Like you said, it is not for everyone and I most definitely should not have gotten it done. But as a professional, I would’ve appreciated it if you had given me other options that maybe weren’t so permanent, like dying my brows first to see if that’s all I needed. As I stated in the beginning of my review, I felt very pressured by you. And I no longer trusted you once you decided not to respond to my emails and calls. So I’m sorry, I don’t mean to bash on your business. Unfortunately for me I did not end up growing to like my brows, and I’m dealing with the consequences even 5 months later:-(
