    I've been a loyal client at Shades for years, and there's a reason I won't go anywhere else. Lori…read moreand Charity are talented, professional, and somehow manage to make every appointment feel effortless. The color is always flawless -- natural, even, and never streaky. I've tried other places in the past (lesson learned), and nothing compares to the consistency and care I get here. I always walk out feeling confident and put together, like I just got back from vacation. This is the only place I trust for a spray tan.

    I want to preface this by saying this was my first spray tan ever so I was very nervous and had…read morelots of questions going into it. Charity was extremely kind and answered all my questions -- she also made me feel extremely comfortable considering how little clothing is involved. She helped me decide on a shade and made pleasant conversation during the process. As a first timer, I was surprised how quickly the session was. In and out the door within 20 minutes. I paid extra for the rapid dry and I'm glad I did as I was able to shower before bed which was nice. The salon is clean and cozy, the price considering my add ons (I also did the hydration spray) seemed reasonable, and the shade is beautiful and very natural looking. The only thing I wish were different is the creases I have on my wrists and marks on my heels. She did apply a drying powder and wiped my hands and feet with wet wipes, but those areas look a bit streaky. Overall though, I've gotten several compliments on how natural it looks and I'm glad that I went! I'll be back.

    This is a darling day spa in the heart of downtown Carlsbad. When I first walked by I didn't know…read morethey did skincare & waxing; I thought it was just a cute boutique...when some coworkers surprised me with a gift card, I was so excited! I booked a bikini wax and did not state a preference for the technician. Riley ended up doing my Brazilian and she was excellent! She talked to me throughout to distract me from the pain, but honestly it was not that painful. I was surprised that my skin was not super red afterward. She offered me a rosewater wipe to use prior the waxing and the treatment room was clean. She did a thorough job and used an oil by the brand Fur to finish, and I decided to purchase the travel rollerball, which totally helped eliminate any ingrown hairs or red bumps that were trying to come out. I kept using the rollerball for weeks after, and no ingrowns! I shopped around the boutique after my treatment and was astounded at the reasonable prices on the super cute clothes, jewelry, and other accessories and fun things in the shop. I left with a dress, a couple cute tops, a bracelet and earrings by Scout (love that brand), and a travel candle, plus the Fur rollerball. I believe the Brazilian bikini wax was $65, and I left a nice tip and walked away with fun new stuff without spending a ton over my gift card amount of $115. Side note--the toilet would not flush when I used their restroom, and let them know, so they shut it down for customer use while I was there. I think it's an older building and perhaps sensitive plumbing. This did not affect my experience in any way. Overall I recommend Riley and this awesome little boutique if you live near the Carlsbad area or are visiting!

    I made a reservation time for a facial and brow wax... my aesthetician was very professional and…read morethorough... we had a great conversation during my treatment... relaxing & enjoyable.... No parking in front.... but like most places in Carlsbad village you can walk...
