Westwood studio · 5 minutes from Century City
Nano brows, lip blush and shadow eyeliner by Alena Bodrova — a one-artist studio on Westwood Blvd, close enough to the Century City towers that a consultation fits inside a lunch hour.
1334 Westwood Blvd, Suite 11 · Mon–Fri 10am–7pm · Sat–Sun 11am–4pm · 714-440-7425
Closer than the mall parking structure
Century City sits right next to us. From the office towers on Avenue of the Stars or Constellation, take Santa Monica Boulevard west and turn left onto Westwood Blvd — five to eight minutes door to door outside of rush hour, and a short rideshare if you would rather not move your car.
From the Olympic side or the Fox lot, Olympic west to Westwood Blvd and north works just as well and avoids the Santa Monica Blvd lights.
Because you are so close, we get a lot of "between meetings" bookings from Century City. Consultations are the easy fit; full procedures need the longer window described below.

Built around a calendar that is already full
Our Century City clients tend to have back-to-back days: attorneys, agents, finance and studio people who want to look put together at 8am without a 20-minute makeup routine. Permanent brows and a lash-line liner are the two services that give back the most morning time.
The pattern that works: a consultation at lunch midweek — we map shape and color and answer questions — then the procedure on a Saturday or a 5pm weekday slot. You leave with brows that look a shade darker than final for about a week, which is fine for the office and for video calls.
If you wear glasses or contacts, mention it at the consultation. It changes how we place eyeliner and how far we bring the brow tail, so the result works with frames on and off.
What fits a working week
Service | Price | What it is |
|---|---|---|
Nano Eyebrows | $550 | Hair-stroke brows that hold shape through a 12-hour day and read as natural on camera and in the boardroom. |
Shadow Eyeliner | $550 | A diffused liner along the lash line. Replaces the daily pencil, survives rain, gym and a red-eye flight. |
Lash Enhancement | $380 | Pigment only between the lashes. The subtlest way to make eyes look more awake — popular with clients who never wore liner. |
Powder Brows | $440 | A soft filled-in brow that suits oily or combination skin and stays light enough for a conservative office. |
Lip Blushing | $440 | Restores color and a soft border, so you can skip lipstick at the desk and still look finished. |
Consultation | $100 · applied to your procedure | 30–45 minutes. The one appointment that comfortably fits a lunch break. Applied to the procedure if booked within 30 days. |

Questions from Century City clients
Can I do the whole procedure during lunch?
No — a first brow or lip session is 2–3 hours with mapping and numbing. What fits into lunch is the consultation. Many clients from Century City do exactly that: consult midweek, procedure on Saturday.
Can I go straight back to the office afterwards?
Yes. Brows look a bit darker and the skin can be slightly pink on day one; nobody notices on a video call. For eyeliner, expect mild swelling along the lash line for a day — most clients schedule that one for a Friday evening.
I wear glasses all day. Does that change anything?
It changes placement. Frames sit on the brow line and hide part of the tail, so we map the arch to look right with glasses on and off. Bring the pair you wear most to the consultation.
What is the latest I can start on a weekday?
Procedures start no later than 5pm (we close at 7). Consultations can start as late as 6pm. From the towers that is a realistic 4:45 departure.
Can I fly the next day?
Yes. Cabin air is dry, so bring the aftercare balm and skip in-flight sleep masks for eyeliner clients for the first two days. No other restrictions.
How much healing time before a big event or trial?
Plan the procedure at least two weeks before anything important. Days 1–7 the color is bold; by day 10–14 it settles. Full healed color is at 4–6 weeks, when we do the touch-up.
Is there parking, or should I rideshare from Century City?
Both work. Parking near the building is straightforward and the details come with your confirmation; rideshare from Avenue of the Stars is under ten minutes.
Can my assistant book for me?
Yes — book online or call, and put your name on the appointment. We will send the intake form to whichever email you prefer.
