After Glo Beauty Collective - San Mateo, California

Kelly Y. H.

I’ve been a customer at Afterglo for a while now and have always loved supporting a local, woman-owned business with such a talented team of women working together to beautify the world. That being said, I was hesitant to try a facial again after a not-so-great experience at a different spa years ago. But after seeing so many positive posts on Afterglo’s Instagram, I decided to give it another shot, and I’m so glad I did.

I’ve always been interested in taking better care of my skin, and while I’ve read plenty of books about skincare, I often felt overwhelmed and unsure of where to start. I had labeled my skin as combination, but when I had my facial with Carrie, she helped me realize that my skin is actually dry! She took the time to educate me and explain the products and techniques she was using, making the whole experience not only relaxing but also informative.

Carrie made me feel so cared for throughout the treatment. The facial itself was incredibly soothing, and my skin felt amazing afterward. I was so impressed by how personalized and attentive the service was that I ended up purchasing a membership so I can continue to enjoy monthly facials with Carrie.

I can’t recommend Carrie and Afterglo enough. The combination of expert care, a relaxing environment, and the high-quality service makes it a must-try for anyone looking to take their skincare routine to the next level.

If you want the best quality service, After Glo is THE place to go for all your beauty needs!! I moved to the Bay Area a little over a year ago, and was a bit overwhelmed on where to go. I found Jamie and never looked back! She is an amazing esthetician and TRULY wants the best results for your skin. I’ve gotten several facials done and my skin is always happy after a visit with Jamie.

Then I met Michelle, who does the most AMAZING job at my eyebrow lamination. I remember one time I scheduled an appointment, and it wasn’t yet time for my eyebrows to go through the lamination process. She could’ve easily gone through with it, but she really cares about the quality of her work and didn’t want to risk any damage. She just did a quick cleanup of my eyebrows and she calculated the right time to for me to come back.

Through Jamie, she introduced me to Sophia who does my lashes and EXCELS at creating a natural but full effect. Every time I’ve gone for my lash appointment, Sophia truly listens to what I want at the time and always goes above and beyond my expectations.

Honestly, the quality of every service I’ve had at After Glo has been nothing but perfection. You can tell that Jamie, Michelle, and Sophia really care for their clients and does their absolute best to ensure you’re comfortable every step of the way. The aesthetic and vibes at After Glo are top tier, and I love that I can get my beauty needs done all at one place!

So one day I got curious and met up with Michelle because I’ve never had a facial done before. And wow. What an amazing experience! The way she perform a facial, scalp, and neck massage was above expectations! I can’t believe it took me this long to get my first one. Michelle is very passionate about her career and when it comes to explaining certain things about skin care, you will know right away why she is a licensed esthetician. While she was skillfully taking care of my face, it was cool how she was also educating me about how to take better care of my trouble spots. She specifically told me what good skin products I can use to keep any unwanted pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, etc. away and make my face look rejuvenated and looking brand new. It just shows how much she appreciates and loves what she does. I definitely will set up another appointment and have her run it back. Thank you Michelle for being awesome!

Jamie at After Glo Beauty Collective is the absolute best! I've been going to her for a year and half now. I initially got my lash extensions done elsewhere and 80% of them fell out by day 6. Jamie got me in right away and saved me! It took me a few times to figure out how dense I wanted my lash extensions to be, but Jamie was always patient, very helpful, and accommodating. My lashes always look amazing and I get so many compliments on them! This year for my birthday I decided to treat myself to a facial from Jamie. I have very sensitive skin and many facial products cause me to get eczema on my face. Jamie was so thorough with her pre facial inquiries. During the facial she was very gentle and made sure to use products that wouldn't cause my eczema to flare up. My skin felt so fresh and supple and it has such a lovely glow after! I would recommend Jamie and the After Glo Beauty Collective to anyone and everyone!

I regularly see Michelle for my eyebrows. I get them tinted and shaped. Michelle is literally the best. As someone with naturally light blonde eyebrows, getting them done consistently has been such a game changer and time saver. Michelle hand mixes the color and she is extremely talented at shaping. I’ve also had my lashes tinted and lifted by her, also absolutely stunning work. Michelle kills it every time. Their new studio is gorgeous. It’s spacious, easy to park, and decorated so cutely! Their prices are extremely reasonable. I can’t recommend them enough.

Yesterday was my 2nd visit with Michelle and it was better than the first. The first visit was splendiferous and I wasn't sure it could get any better and it did!

My first appointment I took the plunge and had a brow lift/brow wax. I did my research and I wanted in! I was 15 min late for my appointment and called Michelle from the Uber, she was warm and understanding.

What ensued was relaxation, free flowing incredible conversation to a backdrop of an eclectic playlist that made my soul happy!

Michelle has the gift to understand what you need before you need it. She can 'read the person' and that is a talent in itself!

My second visit, I wanted more! I made an appointment for a facial.
I chose a more spendy facial, turns out my skin couldn't hack it. After Michelle's expert analysis she decided on the best method for me and 24 hours later my skin feels hydrated, supple and it still glowing.

This talented young woman has a magic touch. Everything in her sphere of influence is immaculate, thought out, meticulous and so wonderful. I'm going back next month for another session.

I highly recommend this luxury self-care salon!

I have been going here since it opened! I typically go to Jamie for my lash and facial needs but have found Michelle is just as knowledgeable and friendly. They both take the time to educate you on proper skin care! The facility is always clean and they ensure that each station is properly sanitized before the next appointment.

Additionally, I have ditched Sephora and Ulta for skincare products as clinical grade products are sold here. I have noticed a huge difference in my skin since I switched to their products!
