BEAUTY BY SHANI at Capella Salon

A jack of all trades!

by MeganMulrooney at Citysearch

A trip to Shani is always the best elixir for my body! I continually am thankful for her advice and work. I have been a loyal client for 8 years thus I think I have the faculty to say that she is the best esthetician in Los Angeles. My skin always thanks me after a session with Shani, not only because my hour session with her Dermalogica products have taken me through aromatherapy heaven but I walk out afterwards feeling soft, refreshed, and confident. She truly is a jack of all beauty trades!

• Pros: Best Bikini, Facial, Eyebrow Wax

Amazing eyelashes and facial

by morann at Citysearch

I went to Shani to get a facial and eyelashes and was very very happy with the results. The salon itself is beautiful and Shani's room is upstairs...her room is decorated with a chic/modern decor and it is very calming. She makes you feel very relaxed as you lay down on a very comfortable bed with a cozy blanket. The eyelashes came out so natural and beautiful. I get like 2 compliments a day. It is very worth it to get eyelashes because you never have to worry about curling them or putting mascara so it cuts down your getting ready time by half...plus it makes your eyes pop. Her facial was soothing too.

Shani is very accomodating and personable. I will definitely come back.

• Pros: Great work/ beautiful and calming enviornment
• Cons: absolutely nothing

Learned my lesson!!

by mv15 at Citysearch

After getting a last minute call for an audition (on a Monday evening), I decided to go against my gut feeling and go somewhere else – only because the salon was closed. I had been growing by eyebrows out in preparation to go to Shani but because of the last minute call, I had to go elsewhere. WOW...what a mistake!! Not only did the other person butcher my brows, but I had to pay twice because I ended up having to make an appointment with Shani to see if she could fix the craziness that were my current brows!! She did an amazing job (as always)! I no longer look constantly surprised by the ridiculous arch the other lady created!!

I have been going to Shani for over 2 years now for both eyebrows and facials and although I don't make it in as consistent as I would like, she always does an awesome job!! My skin always glows after her facials and I tend to break out with waxing but Shani doesn't mind tweezing tmy eyebrows!

I’ve learned my lesson…even if I do get a last minute call…I will not go anywhere else!! And because of this experience, I am definitely going to keep my eyebrows in check!! :) Thank you, Shani!!

• Pros: Consistent Quality, Friendly, Knowledgeable

Misty... Glad I was able to fix your eyebrows after some other Esthetician messed them up. We finally got your brows back !! You know you could always call me or email me for emergency auditions. I know how it goes with your type of work. I understand and would rather come in on my day off then you having your brows messed up. Dont want that to happen ever again. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Eyelash Guru

I finally booked my appointment with Shani for eyelash extensions. I had them done Wednesday and have gotten at least 100 compliments daily since that point. I look and feel like a whole new person! Shani placed each lash on with ease and precision - they look amazing and completely natural. Don't trust anyone else - go to Shani! You will be sorry if you don't!

• Pros: Ambience / Parking / Service

Shani is an eyebrow GENIUS!

by andreakelley at Citysearch

I've always been terrified to get my eyebrows waxed. I've tried it twice before and it was just a little too painful and uncomfortable for me. I heard wonderful things about Shani, so I decided to give her a try. I couldn?t believe how amazing she was! I told her about my fears, and she made me so comfortable and the whole thing was so quick and painless! She was amazing, her room is gorgeous, and overall it was such a positive experience! I never realized what a difference having great eyebrows would make on my appearance.

When I walked out of the salon, 2 girls sitting outside of Starbucks complimented my eyebrows, which is something I?ve NEVER been complimented on before! She really is amazing at what she does and I?m definitely recommending all my friends to go pay her a visit. Next time I?ll have to try one of her facials!

Electrifying Eyes + Sparkling Skin

by hannahkmc at Citysearch

I have been Shani's client for years - there is NO one else I would trust for my skincare needs. I feel and look refreshed and invigorated as soon as I step out of the salon. My skin is smooth both in tone and texture and my pigmentation is a thing of the past. Shani perfectly arches my eyebrows allowing for my eyes to pop... I can't wait to book my appointment with her for eyelash extensions. She recently renovated her room so she provides her clients with a hip yet tranquil environment... soothing music is always playing as she works her magic. Shani is the best!

• Pros: Ambience, Service, Value
• Cons: NONE

Best looking eyebrows

by KarenG22 at Citysearch

I have been going to Shani for the last couple of years. I've tried all the well known people over the hill, paid too much money and nobody was good as her. She is located in a very nice salon in Studio City. I love the atmosphere in her location, she is sweet, gentle and does an amazing job. I would reccomend her to anybody that wants fabulous eyebrows.

Excellent for eyebrows

by jenheidir at Citysearch

I travel all the way to Studio City from Beverly Hills ?cause I won?t let anyone else touch my eyebrows but Shani. She?s so nice, and I completely trust her. She listens to what you want and won?t let you leave without being 100% satisfied with your look. It?s well worth the $30 and 30 minute drive.

the skin perfector

by leeleehere at Citysearch

Shani really takes the time to assess your skin problems and makes a plan on how to address these issues in a realistic manner. Thanks to her, my skin has never looked better, and after a facial I leave glowing and not red or irritated like many other facialist had left me! Thank you Shani

Wonderful Facials, Fabulous Eyebrows, Exquisite Personality!!!

by mgarakian1 at Citysearch

If you are looking for a esthetician or would like to try someone new, I highly recommend, Shani. Her service and professionalism is second to none. She is lovely in every way. I have been going to her since 2003 and have never deviated from her services. Her facials are careful and gentle- perfect for teenagers or men. There is no exceptions with her eyebrows and other waxing services as evidenced by her own. I have always had a terrific time when I see her. I guarentee that you will too!!
