BLANKSTEIN'S Beauty & Style is a boutique beauty studio in Suite 205 at 261 E Colorado Blvd, at the edge of Old Town Pasadena. Josephine Blankstein founded it in 2013. The studio describes itself as more than a salon and as a full-service beauty boutique, and says its team has over 10 years of experience across beauty, styling and visual artistry.
The menu is broad. Eyelash extensions are a core offering, from classic and fluffy hybrid sets to American and London volume styles, with NOVALASH as the product line; refills, touch-ups and removal are also available. Facials and skin care use Désembre Korean skincare, PCA SKIN peels and LightStim Elipsa LED. Hair services include dry haircuts for men and women, updos, half-up half-down styles and men's iron styling. Makeup ranges from men's and children's looks to camera-ready, party-ready and couture or SFX makeup.
Appointments are required, and first-time visitors book through the online system. A credit card is taken at booking, and clients agree to the salon policy first. Reschedules and cancellations need at least 24 hours' notice. Late arrivals do not get extra time, and a no-show is charged the full service price. Treatments and packages are non-refundable, and reminders go out by text and email the day before. Services are offered in the studio or on location in Pasadena, with a travel fee of $1 per mile round trip from the studio, rising to $2 per mile when the trip is over 100 miles.
Facials are given in a private studio, one client at a time. For lash extensions, the studio advises keeping them dry for 24 hours while the adhesive sets, avoiding oil-based products and makeup removers near the lashes, and not picking, pulling or curling them. It also advises against steam and hot tubs, and recommends removal by a technician. The studio says extensions can last up to six weeks with proper care, and that an adhesive allergy may develop after several months of exposure.
Bridal and event work includes a $35 consultation, trial sessions, bridal party packages and wedding-day looks priced from $500 to $850. Beauty workshops run from private one-on-one lessons to group sessions, a Beauty Guide held at the client's location, and Paint & Sip events. Group events and photoshoot bookings are arranged on request.
The studio says it aims to reveal and refine what is already there, balancing softness and structure. Its lash work is built around protecting natural lashes and building client trust rather than working quickly.
A boutique studio with an elegant, intimate design.
