Went to theBalm store for a makeup class and loved it. I had no idea theBalm had a physical store but it was better than I had imagined it would be - very girly, fun, organized, colorful, even sparkly, and clean. TheBalm provides a few services at this location and the class was insightful, I picked up a new trick or two from the class and they even provided mango mimosas to sip on! Be warned: if youre a makeup lover (or beauty blogger), you might break your budget here! Staff is all super friendly and more than willing to help you locate the product made just for your skin type & tone. The only con would be parking - I couldnt find any street parking but followed the street signs to a public garage (Mission Bartlett Garage - 3255 21st St). It wasnt a big deal, the store is just a few blocks away from the garage.

I went to The Balm during the Valencia Corridor Holiday Block Party. They were offering 30% on all their merchandise and free eyebrow waxing. I had mine done recently, so I took advantage of their sales. What I really like about The Balm is that its paraben free and cruelty free. And they have a fantastic colors from their eyeshadows to lipsticks. I wont go into details of what I bought, since thats more for a review about their makeup. But I will say that will the deal, I basically got one item free. Their prices are comparable to other makeup brands. The staff at The Balm were so much fun to talk to. And they were very helpful, and not overbearing/aggressive. I felt comfortable. I also love their retro decor. I am definitely coming back here to get more of their products.

I love the fact that The Balm now has a brick and mortar store in the Mission. Youll find all of your favorite The Balm products here and the option to have a makeup artist create a tutorial just for you usingtheir in-store studio, complete with box lights, directors chairs, and ipads. The have vegetarian and fish entrees, too for non-meat eaters. Also, you have to have the pop-overs. I would pay 50 bucks for a basket of those alone. And the baked potato thats fully loaded and incredible.

This local gem of a shop on Valencia features cruelty-free cosmetics and services at seriously reasonable prices. Do not hesitate to go here for brow and eyelash tinting, and waxing - you will not regret it! Dita, Mo, and Serge are so sweet and helpful. The best part is the free makeover with a tutorial video to take home. They can also host beauty parties for you and your friends. Closed Mondays. #FirstReview +Google Maps

theBalm is such a fun place to stop in on weekends with a bunch of your makeup-minded friends. The staff there is knowledgable about the products and are super willing to show you how to use them. I particularly like their concealers and lip tints. Waxing services are great here as well! Except they can be a bit pricey.

Monica was amazing! I got in the day before my wedding and she did my brows and suggested a brow tint (Ive never tried before) and I was SO happy with the results! Cant believe what a difference having nicely shaped brows with a bit of tint can make! I highly recommend her and will be back to see her again.

This place is awesome! I got my makeup done and eyebrows waxed by Monique and I was really satisfied. She also didnt pressure me at all to buy makeup. Would def stop in here again to shop and pick up some great makeup!
