Westwood studio · 15 minutes from Culver City
Nano brows, powder brows and lip blush by Alena Bodrova — one studio on Westwood Blvd, a short drive up Overland from Culver City. Natural, healed results you don't have to explain to anyone at work.
1334 Westwood Blvd, Suite 11 · Mon–Fri 10am–7pm · Sat–Sun 11am–4pm · 714-440-7425
From Culver City to Westwood in one straight line
Culver City sits directly south of us. Most clients take Overland Avenue north and turn onto Westwood Blvd — no freeway needed, and it's usually a 15–20 minute drive outside of rush hour.
If you're coming from the Sony or Amazon Studios side of Washington Blvd, Sepulveda north to Wilshire is the other easy route. Either way, plan a little extra time between 4 and 6 pm on weekdays; the 405 spillover onto Sepulveda is real.
Parking details for the building are included in your booking confirmation, so you don't have to circle the block on the day of your appointment.

Made for a working schedule
A lot of our Culver City clients work in production, post, or on one of the studio lots — people who are on camera, in meetings, or on set for ten hours and don't want to start the day with a brow pencil.
That's why we work in soft, hair-stroke and powder techniques rather than the blocky, saturated look. Fresh out of the studio your brows look a shade darker than the final result; by week two they settle into something that reads as "good brows," not "had brows done." Most clients go back to the office the same afternoon.
Weekend slots fill first — Saturday morning is the most requested time from the Culver City side. If you need a weekday, the last appointment of the day at 5 pm works well for anyone leaving Hayden Tract or the Arts District after 4.
What Culver City clients book most
Service | Price | What it is |
|---|---|---|
Nano Eyebrows | $550 | Individual hair strokes with a single needle. The most natural option for anyone who gets close-ups — on camera or in person. |
Powder Brows | $440 | A soft, filled-in finish that reads like a light brow powder. Great for oily skin and for anyone who wants more definition than strokes give. |
Lip Blushing | $440 | Restores color and outline without a "lined" look. Popular with clients who are done reapplying lipstick between meetings. |
Shadow Eyeliner | $550 | A diffused liner along the lash line — lifts the eye without a hard wing. Waterproof by design. |
Lash Enhancement | $380 | Pigment placed between the lashes only. Looks like fuller lashes, not like liner. |
Consultation | $100 · applied to your procedure | Shape mapping, color matching and a candid answer on which technique suits your skin. 30–45 minutes. |

Questions from Culver City clients
Can I fit nano brows into a long lunch from the Culver City studios?
Not comfortably. A first brow session takes 2–3 hours including mapping and numbing, so a lunch break won't cover it. What does fit into a lunch break is the consultation (30–45 minutes) — many clients do that midweek and come back for the procedure on a Saturday.
I'm on camera the next day. Will it show?
The first 5–7 days your brows look darker and slightly bolder than the final result, and the skin can be a little pink on day one. It photographs fine for most people, but if you have a shoot or an on-camera day, book at least a week ahead of it. By day 10–14 the color softens and the result looks like well-groomed natural brows.
Is there parking at the studio, or is it street parking on Westwood Blvd?
Parking information for the building is sent with every booking confirmation, along with the suite number. If you'd rather not deal with it, rideshare from Culver City is usually a 15–20 minute trip.
Do you have a location in Culver City?
No — we're one studio in Westwood, on Westwood Blvd near Wilshire. We list Culver City because it's one of the neighborhoods our clients drive from most often, and the route is a straight shot up Overland Ave.
When is the touch-up, and do I have to drive back for it?
Yes, the touch-up is in the studio, 6–8 weeks after the first session. It's shorter — usually about an hour — and it's what locks in the final shape and color. We schedule it before you leave your first appointment so it fits your calendar.
How late can I come in after work on a weekday?
The last full-procedure slot on weekdays starts at 5 pm (we close at 7). Consultations can start as late as 6 pm. If you're leaving Culver City at 4:30, the 5 pm slot is realistic on Overland; on Sepulveda, give yourself a few extra minutes.
Can I sweat, swim, or do hot yoga afterwards?
Not for the first 7–10 days. Sweat, pool water and steam pull pigment out while the skin is healing. If you train at one of the gyms or studios in Culver City, plan the appointment before a lighter week.
Can I buy this as a gift for a coworker?
Yes — gift certificates are available for a set amount or for a specific service, delivered by email the same day. They're popular for birthdays and wrap gifts; the recipient books their own date.
