Devs Beauty Bar

Devs Beauty Bar operates from Building B at 4053 Chestnut Street in Riverside. Its legal name is Devs Beauty Bar LLC. Alongside its client services, the business runs a lash extension academy led by owner and mentor Devynne Castro, and that training makes up a large part of what it offers.

The lash course is available fully online with lifetime access, or as a hybrid that adds in-person training. The curriculum covers lash history, basic anatomy, the growth cycle, removal, speed lashing, retention and lash types. It also covers the business side, such as forming an LLC, setting up an online booking site and building a client base, and the practical side, including insurance, health and safety, contraindications, the difference between a license and a certificate, patch testing and client consultations. Students join monthly Zoom calls with the teacher and weekly Sunday 8am demonstration calls, and they keep lifetime mentorship and a student support group on Facebook and Instagram. Downloadable client consent forms, aftercare instructions and a product list are included. A hard copy completion certificate is mailed after a quiz and the course requirements are met.

On the service side, the business offers ombre brows, customized facials, lash extensions, full body waxing with sugar or hard wax, hard, soft and sugar waxing, and Brazilian waxing with sugar. It also sells lash products, skincare from PCA SKIN and SKIN SCRIPT, and skincare kits for oily, dry, normal to combination, acne-prone and hyperpigmentation-prone skin. The business says it uses only the best products and describes them as long lasting and of good quality. Customer reviews posted on the site praise the lash training class.

Pairs in-person and online instruction with lifetime mentorship for students, and states that quality work is central to how the training is taught.
