I recently visited Alyson at Balm West for my second lash lift and the experience was excellent. She is very professional and communicates clearly which makes everything easy and comfortable. Her technique is precise and I have been extremely pleased with the results each time. She is pleasant to talk to and the studio is clean and welcoming. Scheduling and communication are simple and I love how my lashes turned out. She shaped them exactly the way I wanted and I highly recommend her and this place overall.

I've been Tyler's client for 3 years now and i can't live without her! Shes the best lash tech and is great at mapping and designing what suits her clients eyes best. My retention has never been better, im a serial lash picker and her work is very smooth, doesn't bother me even after 4 weeks of growth and barely get any fallout. Experienced, professional and always perfect work, go see Tyler and you'll get it 😍

Tatum did an amazing job with my facial, especially the exfoliation and massage. She also helped me pick out a new skincare product that I really like and that works well with my sensitive skin. I can't wait to recommend Balm and Tatum to friends!
