Helenette

I have nothing but positive words to say. I’m so glad Unilocal referred me to her. Her work speaks for itself. She is genuinely sweet and accommodating. I needed a last minute person to do my makeup for graduation and she was able to squeeze me in. Her work is impeccable and proved beyond my expectations. I would highly suggest her for your brow and makeup needs.
I told her I wanted something a bit smoky and not too dramatic. My makeup lasted ALL NIGHT. I did have to blot in between only because my skin is so oily but everything else stayed put especially my eye shadow, lashes, liner and eyebrows.
Her online booking is so convenient but if you want your makeup done for a special occasion, contact her directly.
She just gained a loyal client :)

Helenette is my brow guru! I’ve always had problems dealing with my brows because of a scar I have but since going to her… it makes filling in that much easier! She’s friendly, very helpful, and personable. Highly recommended!

Helenette is so great at what she does. I’ve been to her only twice so far to get my eyebrows shaped and she’s done a fantastic job. I used to get my eyebrows threaded, primarily to avoid wax on my face. But Helenette uses soft wax and it barely hurts and very gentle on your skin. I haven’t had any breakouts or skin irritation. She is very good at analyzing the eyebrow shape and ensures that both eyebrows will look identical. The process takes about 20 minutes and at the end you will have great results. She is also extremely friendly and will make you feel comfortable. I highly recommend her especially if you need some help getting your eyebrows into shape.

Helenette is the BEST! I will never ever trust anyone but Helenette to touch my eyebrows. I’ve spent years (literally) looking for a salon/​someone who can take good care of me & my brows. I’ve always had trouble when getting my eyebrows waxed. My skin is sensitive so it gets irritated and I tend to break out in hives whenever I’ve gotten my brows done. I’ve tried several different salon’s and it was always the same issue everywhere I went. I finally gave up and switched to threading and well let’s just say that didn’t work out as I expected. Numerous times they threaded my brows super thin! I’ve already been through that embarrassing phase in high school didn’t want to go through that again. They suggested me to fill them in but I wouldn’t need to if they had just stopped threading them so thin! My natural brows are fine without need to fill them in they just need to be maintained. I finally gave up and just decided to pluck them myself and had given up all hope until I came across Helenette! I was hesitant at first but OMG when I say she is the best, I literally mean SHE IS THE BEST. I had my brows done by her the first time and automatically knew I found my girl. Again, I’ve had issues with wax because my skin is sensitive and I tend to break out in hives due to the irritation. But with Helenette I have yet to experience that issue. The wax she uses or whatever products she uses don’t seem to have the effect that other salon’s have used and have irritated my skin. She knows EXACTLY what she’s doing and makes sure my brows and I look good. Perfectly shaped, perfectly arched and no need to fill them in. I am so happy I found her! For any brow needs or make up needs GO TO HELENETTE! I promise one visit with her and you won’t ever want to go any where else!

I was lucky enough to stumble across Helenette at Ulta in San Bruno and have not stopped seeing her since, following her to Ulta in Coma and now here. I live all the way in Redwood City and its not always easy to get out to see her and have tried other waxers closer to home but none compare or did a good a job as Helenette! So I have vowed to not let anyone else touch my brows EVER AGAIN! She is worth the 30+ minute drive with a toddler and newborn in tow Yeah she’s that awesome and good at what she does. She is also an amazing make up artist. She did an AMAZING JOB for my wedding. She is the sweetest person you will ever meet as well it’s always fun talking up a storm when she’s working on your brows. I’m glad she ventured out on her own and wish her nothing but success with her career.

The only girl I trust with my eyebrows! And amazing makeup artist! Helenette’s done my makeup for my wedding, as well as other special events. I’ve never left her chair unhappy. She exceeds my expectations every time! And her prices are fair reasonable! My bridesmaids and mom now go to her as well. I’d recommend Helenette to everyone I know.

Helenette is amazing! I found Helenette completely on accident when I wandered in to Ulta San Bruno and she assisted me with finding a brow product to help cover a mistake that a Benefit brow stylist made at another Benefit brow bar location. She went above and beyond that, sitting me down in her chair and basically fixing my brows right up. I haven’t been anywhere else since! I would have followed Helenette anywhere in the Bay Area, but luckily she’s still close by. She’s funny, great to talk to, knows her business, and I recommend her whenever I can, to who ever will listen!

Once Helenette unleashes her make-​up artistry on you, you will not allow anyone else near your face! One of her specialities is eyebrows~ she didn’t get the nickname «the brow whisperer» for nothing. I’ve been fortunate to have Helenette do my wedding make-​up trial, and she stood by at my wedding touching me up throughout the whole day. She’s done my mother’s makeup and also my daughter’s make-​up for dances and her Senior portraits. If you need someone who can tame any face and make you feel «Flawless”~ go see Helenette!

Helenette is THE best when it comes to brows. She’s so great that I drive 45 mins to get to her. I’ve been to several places, and no one is as good as her. She shapes your brows so beautifully, and is incredibly detail oriented so you can rest assured your brows will look fabulous! Even though I’m in school in LA, I always make it a point to see here when I come back home. Try getting your brows done by her and you won’t regret it!

Another tip: she’s located up the steps of the office building on the right side of Amis creperie & café

I’ve had my brows done at different places and when I found Helenette at Ulta San Bruno, I knew I found my girl. I wouldn’t trust my brows with anyone else!
Now that she’s at Salon Galin, I’m that much more happy. Scheduling an appointment with her is so much easier and the automatic reminders are awesome!

This girl is absolutely phenomenal! Helenette is definitely a gem in this industry! Thank you for making my brows look so fabulous! I especially appreciate her letting me book an appointment SO early to accommodate my schedule! You are the best Helenette!

Thanks to Helenette, I no longer have fear of my eyebrows coming out looking like i Just got a fade. She gets my eyebrows perfect all the time (not too thin, just right with a medium arch), and my eyebrows are no joke (it grows in different directions). I only trust Helenette with these unruly brows, she knows what she’s doing! #eyebrowgamestrong because #helenettedoesmybrows

Helenette is such a talented artist whether it be shaping brows or makeup application. My two daughters and I have gone to Helenette for several years as she was highly recommended by many. At first, the price was more than I had paid in the past. But, after seeing her work, it was worth every penny. She is always sooo easy to talk to and also offers advice on beauty products. My daughters and I will travel anywhere to get our brows done by Helenette. We HIGHLY recommend her.

My daughter and I found Helenette about a year ago and will follow her wherever she goes, because that’s what you do when you find amazing and talented professionals!

I drive from South San Jose up to Helenette to do my brows. She’s the ONLY person I trust to do my brows. When I lived in the east bay I would travel to see her too and I’ve even driven up from LA to see her. Yes, she’s that awesome. From makeup, to hair to eyebrows she’s a one stop shop. I will be very sad when I move back to LA because I’m not brave enough to find anyone else. Ill have to come up once a month or so and have her tame my beastly eyebrows though… because I can’t trust myself with my eyebrows :(

If you ever need your brows done, look no further. Helenette is best. She’s the only person I will ever let shape my brows. I’d rather let them grow in like caterpillars than go to someone else. Once you schedule an appointment, you’ll know what I’m talking about. She will give you the best damn eyebrows you’ve ever had. She’s patient and very thorough when she waxes and tweezes.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GIRL. I’ve been getting my brows done from her since she was at Ulta San Bruno and I can’t go back! I’ve been scared of some waxing places because I got it waxed pencil thin one time but Helenette talked me through how we can rebuild the shape to something I love!
She’s very knowledgeable about her line of work and is very considerate on what you’re looking to achieve.

Have you ever found someone in the beauty industry who moved from store to studio to salon, and their services were worth following? Luckily in my case, Helenette moved closer to my home, but I’d have followed her no matter where she relocated in the bay area. I’ve entrusted my brows to her expert hands for two years now, from the Benefit Brow Bar in Tanforan to Colma to her current location on Grand Avenue. I never thought to spend the money and time to have my eyebrows shaped, and I’m grateful that a friend of mine had her brows done months before my first visit so I had time to stare at how well hers looked.
On top of how great she shapes brows, she’s fun to boot. It’s always fun to catch up with her in your 20-​minute appointment. And the salon space is next to a creperie, Indian restaurant, and brewery. Winwinwinwin. #helenettedoesmybrows
