We’re based in San Jose and come to you anywhere in the San Francisco Bay Area. Mileage is included for any location within 20 miles of San Jose, so most clients never see a travel fee. For locations beyond that radius (Pleasanton and Livermore, for example), a per-mile travel charge applies. If you’re getting ready at a hotel, parking is billed at cost, never marked up.

I prioritize cleanliness and hygiene to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for every client.
Brushes: I use freshly cleaned and sanitized brushes for each client. At the end of each workday, all brushes are deep cleaned with dish soap and thoroughly dried before the next use.
Cream Products: All cream-based products are sanitized with alcohol before use and between each client.
Mascara & Lip Products: Mascara and lip products are applied using disposable applicators, and I never double-dip to maintain hygiene. Lipsticks are also sprayed with alcohol between uses.
Hand Hygiene: My hands are always sanitized and washed before and after working with each client.
These meticulous practices ensure a safe and sanitary environment, giving you peace of mind during your service.
