Ever walk out of a salon feeling genuinely seen — like whoever just worked on you actually cared about your face, not just the clock? That's what we obsess over at Today Studios. And since we get asked all the time "what's it actually like there?" — we figured it was time to pull back the curtain and give you a real look at how we operate, why we do things the way we do, and what makes our little studio in Tempe feel different from everywhere else.
It Started With a Frustration
The beauty industry has a habit of treating services like an assembly line — fast turnover, cookie-cutter results, and a one-size-fits-all approach that honestly doesn't fit most people. Today Studios was built as a direct response to that. The idea was simple: what if every client got the same level of care and attention you'd want for your best friend?
That's the standard we hold ourselves to every single day. Whether you're coming in for your first-ever lash extension set or you've been trusting us with your brows for years, you get the same thoughtful, personalized experience. No rushing. No "that'll do." Just genuinely good work done by people who love what they do.
What a Service Actually Looks Like Here
Here's what goes on behind the scenes that most people don't see:
- We consult, every time. Before we touch a single lash or brow, we ask questions. What do you have going on this week? What's bothered you about your last service? Are you going for a vibe or a function (or both)? The answers shape everything about your appointment.
- We map your face. For brow services especially, we don't just start shaping based on what looks good on someone else. We look at your bone structure, the natural direction of your hair growth, and the shape that's going to work for you specifically. Brow trends are fun, but they're only flattering when they actually suit your face.
- We choose products intentionally. For our Korean facials, we use layered K-beauty formulations chosen for your skin's needs that day. Sensitive? Dehydrated? Congested? The approach shifts accordingly. There's no generic facial "protocol" that everyone goes through robotically.
- We talk through aftercare before you leave. Not in a "here's a pamphlet" way. We actually walk you through what to do (and what not to do) so your results last as long as possible and you feel confident going home.
The Services That Define Us
We're known for a few things in particular, and they're worth spotlighting:
Lash Extensions — We offer classic, hybrid, volume, and wispy sets, plus some seriously dreamy styles like Kim K, Wet Look, and the ever-popular anime-inspired lashes. If you've ever felt like your lash extensions looked too drag-y or too sparse, that's a customization issue — and it's exactly what we're trained to solve. The goal is always lashes that look like your best lashes, turned up.
Korean Lash Lifts — This is one of our most-loved services, especially for people who want the look of extensions without the maintenance. A Korean lash lift uses a gentler technique than traditional lifts to create a natural curl that lasts 6–8 weeks. It's low-key magic for straight or downward-pointing lashes.
Brow Services — From lamination to tinting to threading and shaping, we approach brows as a full design project, not just cleanup. The combination of lamination + tint has become a cult favorite at the studio — clients call it a "life-changer" and we tend to agree.
Korean Facials & Signature Facials — Think of our facials as skin therapy, not just relaxation. We focus on real results — hydration, clarity, texture — using multi-step K-beauty techniques that go deeper than a standard spa facial. Clients consistently leave glowing (and sometimes tearing up a little because it felt so good).
The Studio Vibe (Because It Matters)
We know that walking into a new beauty spot can feel a little vulnerable. You're trusting someone with your face. That's a big deal. So we've worked really hard to make Today Studios feel calm, clean, and genuinely welcoming — not intimidating or overly "aesthetic" in a way that feels performative.
The team here is the heart of it all. Everyone is trained not just in technique, but in communication, skin and lash education, and the kind of client care that keeps people coming back year after year. A lot of our clients have been with us since the very early days, and that means everything to us.
We also believe in education — for our clients and for other beauty professionals. That's why we offer beauty training courses alongside our services, because raising the standard of the industry matters to us as much as the work we do every day in the studio.
