Skintastick – Brows by Brenda Allick

I have been having my brows done by Brenda for at least 6 years and she is amazing! She shapes them perfectly to fit your face. She has never made them too thin, like my previous experiences with other so called «brow specialists»! She’s super friendly & very flexible on scheduling! And she gives an amazing facial!

When I first moved to San Diego years ago, I found Brenda and haven’t gone elsewhere since! I have lived all over and gone to many skin care professionals but no one matches Brenda. She is fun, friendly, professional, and an excellent esthetician. In addition, she has introduced me to some fantastic, affordable skincare lines over the years.

Easy to work with for scheduling, amazing attention to detail, all around sweetheart. I’ll definitely go back to Brenda for shaping in the future.

I just moved here and needed my brows done and within 15 minutes this gem let me come by. Firstly, her energy is amazing! I feel like we are friends. She is warm and inviting. Secondly, she is VERY thorough I have never had ANYONE take this long on my eyebrows and I explained my concerns with the unevenness and how they looked weird. My eyebrows have a love hate relationship with me and thanks to Brenda, they love me again. They look really clean and becoming of my face. Might I add there was ZERO pain involved. I felt relaxed and comfy as this is a HUGE difference from what I’m accustomed to. We also spoke of my skin and she gave me some samples that I can’t wait to try. She is well versed and extremely professional and I am SOOOO glad I found her. Thank you Unilocal! You won’t regret going to her. She’s kind, clean, researched, and above all caring to her clients.

Brenda transformed my sad, wispy, over-​plucked brows into unrecognizable awesomeness (praise YEEZUS)! I’m so grateful I found her when I moved to San Diego to help me grow some Big Girl eyebrows that actually fit my face. She’s also an amazing esthetician. My skin never looked better than when I was getting regular facials from her. I stopped doing that and went the dermatologist route for a minute… until I ended up with skin severely burned by Retin-​A. After not hearing from me for months, she squeezed me in for some skin 911 the same day. That’s the kind of person she is – and that’s why I love her! I’m confident she’ll help get my skin back to where it needs to be. If you need skin or brow help, she’s your girl!

Brenda is fantastic at what she does! I am so happy to have found someone who is competent, skilled and real. Went in for dermaplaning and had my brows done too. I left feeling great. I’m really looking forward to going back for browse dermaplaning and facials.

Wow wow wow! Brenda is amazing! My brows needed help. To start, they are not the same on both sides, one had a thicker arch than the other, they were long, and blonde in most areas which made them look thinner than they were. Brenda not only explained everything she was going to do before she even did it, she custom, that’s right I said «custom» made me my own shade of brown tint to tint my brows! When she was done i couldn’t even belove they were my brows!!! They were bold and matching! She is an absolute artist. If you are in search for a brow artist /​shaper /​genius and not a just a «waxer» Brenda is the go to girl!

I have been going to Brenda for skin and brows for 5 years now and I can’t believe I have never written a review. We all know she is awesome with everything but here’s what sets her apart from the rest. She’s no bs. She tells you what you need and doesn’t try to sell you on anything. She doesn’t complain when I wait too long In between facials making more work for her to do. She leaves your brows natural and clean, without over doing it. Brenda is extremely professional while making it fun. The time flys by (even though I don’t want it to). Thanks Brenda.

Brenda will make your brows have the perfect shape for your face. She is an expert and very artistic. I highly recommend her if you want perfect brows!

Brenda is my new best friend!!! I found her on Unilocal in a search to find a professional to help me get my brows to where they need to be as an adult woman! She gave me an appointment within HOURS of me contacting her. I went to her completely stressed out about my ‘brows’ or lack there of… She now has me feeling on top of the world!!! She cleaned up the extra hairs, tinted the hair that I do have and assured me that once we are finished with regrowing my brows, I will be amazed… Lets just say, I can’t wait! She has already boosted my confidence and made my brows look better than they ever have.

I had been with my last esthetician for 9 years before she fell in love with a beer brewer and moved to Germany. Seriously, I can’t make this stuff up. So I began my search for another esthetician. I was rather nervous. As every woman knows your brows are one of your more important features. A bad brow waxing can be mortifying. So I went on Unilocal and found Brenda. I read every single review and decided to try her out. I am SO glad I did! She is amazing. Her shop is 10 minutes from my office. Free parking out front. She is warm and friendly. In our first meeting she looked at me and talked about what she was going to do before doing it. She asked a lot of questions about my skin and my needs. She is very knowledgeable and caring. I have rather sensitive skin, but whatever she uses doesn’t bother my skin as much as other products. She is very easy to make an appointment and always flexible. I am thrilled that I have another esthetician that I can trust. Brenda is worth more then five stars because she is truly stellar.

Brenda Rocks! My skin and brows have never looked so good. Scratch that, GREAT! She takes her time and pays attention to what your skin needs. She has properly reshaped and tinted my brows to accent my eyes. She takes pride in what she does and it shows, on your glowing face! I love that people notice and compliment me after seeing her. Thank you so much for the amazing job you do!

Over the years, I have tried a number of different waxers, threaders, brow artists, etc. & after discovering Brenda my search has ended! She is truly a brow artist & is amazing at what she does. My brows have never looked this good. I get compliments on them quite frequently. I discovered Brenda via Unilocal & when I first went to her my brows were completely uneven. They have now grown in & the shape compliments my face perfectly. In addition to having my brows waxed, I also had them tinted which I highly recommend. I had never had my brows tinted prior but I am so glad Brenda talked to me about it! It has helped my brows look more even & filled out. There were areas on my brows where there was hair but depending on the lighting (or in pictures w/​flash) it looked like a part of my eyebrow was missing due to the lighter color of the hairs. In addition to being a brow savior, Brenda is so sweet & friendly. She always finds a way to fit me in for an appointment!

I’m so grateful to Brenda!!! She was able to restore my abused brows!!! After years of over plucking and bad wax/​threading jobs, she was able to create a beautiful and flattering brow. I started my visits April 2012 with shape and tints… instant improvement. Over the course of 18 months shes changed my life and boosted my confidence. I now have a timeless brow that show cases my eyes. Thank you Brenda!!! I’m so glad I found you!!! Brenda is super friendly and easy to talk to. Very genuine and is a true artist. She is the best. Don’t hesitate to make an appt with her, she’ll whip your brows back into shape.

Thank goodness for Unilocalers helping me find Brenda! She does great facial waxing and amazing facials! Brenda’s super flexible with her schedule and I love that I can just text her for last minute appointments. She’s does quality work, I highly recommend her! I’m sad I moved further away, but I will make the treck to see her again!

I am reviewing a few of Brenda’s services:
First if you are thinking of having your make-​up done for your wedding– Do It! I am NOT a make-​up girl but I wanted to look fantastic for pictures, my guest and of course my groom all day. Brenda knows her stuff! She did an amazing job. She understood that I didn’t want heavy make-​up but something simple and classic that would last the day (and thru the evening). We did a trial and played around with a couple different styles, she even called a few days later to say lets try something different with your lashes. She is always thinking of her clients.
Second: Brenda offers amazing facials– I just had my first one ever and my face is glowing. She uses all natural products and educates you on your skin type. Her pricing is fantastic– she’s a well established professional but doesn’t charge an arm and a leg for her services. She is fair, honest and direct. (Oh and she doesn’t try and sell you a bunch of crap that you’ll never use).
Last– have her look at your brows! «They» say your eyes are the window to your soul so you may as well have sexy window frames!

Brenda was GREAT with my skin. It was my first time, and she really went above and beyond to get my skin clean and glowing. I felt phenomenal after. And she has facial club discounts where if you go regularly, she will cut you a deal. Very fun experience!

Saying that Brenda is amazing at what she does would be an understatement. I’ve had several treatments with Brenda including: deep cleansing facials, brows, and tanning… and lets just say, all of the above have been rewarding. I was referred to Brenda by a very good friend who had nothing but wonderful things to say about her. In fact, my friend, who now lives in another city, actually had her new facialist call Brenda to get the low down on her skin… clearly, Brenda really knows skin. You can tell that she’s passionate about skin and truly gets down to the science behind your skin’s «behavior».
I suffer with combination, acne prone, EXTRMELY sensitive skin and first came to Brenda with no joke, a mess on my face. I needed extractions and… help… badly! She is the best ever with regard to extractions. She’s extremely gentle, takes her time, and doesn’t stop until my face is smooth! She also introduced me to the best skincare line I’ve ever experienced. She has taught me so much about my skin and broke things down to a chemical level with the skincare products. She took the time to tailor a regimen for my troublesome skin, and within a week, my skin had already improved noticably. I was and am so pleasantly surprised and pleased that I can go without wearing makeup!
The tanning product she uses is awesome! There’s NO orange whatsoever like most mystic style tans and she airbrushes the sunkissed glow perfectly — just as the sun would tan my skin. No oompa loompa look… rather a beautiful Grecian bronze. So nice.
Brows…I’m just saying… my brows have never looked better. Brenda was trained the «Anastasia way» and if you haven’t heard of it, you should google it. There’s an art and science to this technique which includes measurement and a keen eye for precision. I have one brow that grows a little «funky» and Brenda makes them look perfect every time. I was impressed at the time she took to make sure my eyebrows were perfectly arched and properly proportionately placed on my face. Definitely worth the few extra bucks!
Hands down, she’s awesome… and to top it all off, she’s super fun and so sweet. I always look forward to seeing Brenda’s beautiful smiling face.

I love Brenda!
She is amazing at what she does!
She is truly a brow artist!
I’ve been going to Brenda for almost 3 years for my brow waxing. She’s very professional and fun. I never plan ahead and always wait till the last minute, she’s always able to fit me in for a wax. She’s really gentle and my eyes never water when she’s waxing, it’s almost pain free, she’s that good! My brows have never looked better.
I’ve also had the pleasure of getting a few facial from her as well. I was so relaxed afterwords I didn’t want to get up. Her chair is so comfortable and she has this really soft and fuzzy blanket you lie under. It’s amazing! My skin looked and felt awesome after. Brenda really takes her time. She loves what she does and you can tell. She cares about your skin like it was her own. She’s very knowledge about her products and will recommend what she thinks would be good for your skin but she’s never pushy about trying to sell it to you.
I only have good things to say about her and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

This same time last year Brenda appeared on a segment on the Fox 5 Morning News and I instantly knew I needed to book a session with her. She put me through «Brow Bootcamp» where she shaped and tinted my brows once every 2 — 3 weeks. The results are amazing! She managed to work her magic and create beautiful brows out of my thin,
Curly and unruly ones. Brenda has also taught me about skincare and has provided me with a system unique for my very sensitive skin. I don’t feel like I’m getting conned into buying products without knowing if it will work for me as she has always given me samples to try before selling me anything. The experience is always a great one and she is a doll! I highly recommend her services with all the confidence in the world.
