    The reception was professional, clean, and the packets they give you to "freshen up" are so nice! I…read morelove that they ask for your music preferences and then actually put the music on for you. Great attention to detail! I also really like that you actually have the option to wax or sugar. I'm not picky, so my technician actually did both and I though the service was professional, quick, but thorough. I'm not a frequent hair removal gal but I\d come back! Street parking was hard to find so I ended up in a garage across the street which had a strange phone in/out system that I didn't love, but I didn't have to pay so I can't complain that much about that one little parking quirk.

    I got my lower legs waxed for the first time EVER on Saturday. When I entered the shop, there was…read moreno one in the lobby to check in with so I hung around for about five minutes (I'd arrived about 10 minutes early, as the website says to do). There are Fiji water bottles in the lobby but no sign by them. I wasn't sure if they were included in the cost of the appointment or cost extra so I didn't take one. Maybe if I was bolder, I wouldve inquired. They sell a number of sugar scrubs and other products that you can use after your sugaring/waxing appointment at home. At 2:30pm, a technician came out with another customer who'd just finished and greeted me after closing out her appointment. I was definitely nervous but my technician put me at ease with light conversation and music (they let you choose what music you want when you schedule your appointment). I had initially made my appointment for sugaring but I was told that my hairs were too short and that wax would work better. I was a bit disappointed because I'd read about sugaring, but happy that my technician was able to provide good advice. It didn't hurt nearly as much as I expected it to. I was in and out in about 45 minutes with silky smooth legs.

    Bimala is wonderful! She's a true artist. She makes you feel comfortable and such reasonable rates…read more I have been getting threading (eyebrows/ face/ lips) with her for over 5 years. Very welcoming and good recommendations for skincare. She has a public kiosk location type at Federal Plaza in Rockville as well as a more private location in her home near Aspen Hill area. I've tried both and have not been disappointed. I needed my brows shaped before a family event and she was able to accommodate as late as 8pm in her home office location. Note: Due to home/ cultural rules she will not allow men in her home location and by appointment only at home. The open kiosk services anyone. Walk-Ins and appointments. She accepts Zelle, cards and cash.

    First off, I've been getting my eyebrows done for over a decade, literally since I was a child…read more I've never had an issue with the person doing my brows talking on the phone, but this woman did not even give me the decency to pause her conversation for a moment to even speak to me. She just kept motioning as if I was supposed to know what to do, even though it was my first time there. And again, I couldn't care less if you're on the phone, as long as your work doesnt show that you were distracted by that. My eyebrows look horrible. And i truly believe it was because she couldn't stop her conversation for just two moments to properly do my eyebrows or even just ask me what I wanted. Below I will have after and before pictures of my eyebrows. I get them done every 2-3 weeks so I made sure to only include before pictures from the past two weeks. I am so upset.

She really listens to what I want, offers honest guidance. She really understands how to work with my waves and keeps my frizz under control without weighing my hair down--which is not easy. The color and highlights are consistently natural and grow out beautifully, and the cut is so well done that it styles easily at home. Beyond her talent, the experience is just as amazing--professional, warm, and never rushed. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and her craft. If you're looking for someone who gets it--especially if you have wavy, frizz-prone hair--and delivers every single time, I can't recommend Mimi enough.

Very clean and organized, by the time my hairstylist ( Bella, which I love!) finish cutting and or coloring my hair, the floor is spotless. And if you happen to be there early morning, free breakfast (bagel and cream cheese), and don't forget the unlimited coffee of many kind...tea and iced cold lemon water, little something to make costumers happy and special! Did I mention that every time Bella do her magic to my hair, I get many compliments! She's just the best, I don't have to tell her what I want, I just sit on her chair and sip my coffee. And don't forget the lovely ladies who shampoo and massage your head and behind your neck, it's a treat, and I'm so happy that Elsa is back on Saturdays, she's the best! Come and see New Wave Salon, it is highly recommended! Mildred A.

Located within Sola Salon Studios, MALA beauty bar offers different kinds of facials, waxing services, and eyelash extensions. And Yogitha is a master in skin care..just look at her skin if you need convincing! She's also very knowledgeable in working with different skin types and tones....real talk!!!! During the COVID quarantine, I went to another aesthetician for a brazilian wax because I wasn't able to see Yogitha..and I ended up having horrible ingrown hair breakouts...yikes!! I Instantly regretted cheating on Yogitha ;) Well, thankfully Yogitha became available, and she helped clear up my unsightly breakout with her skin care regimen....and all is well again! Parking is plentiful, and the suite is conveniently located on the 2nd floor, and offers tons of privacy with double layered curtains covering the sliding door of the suite. I appreciate that Yogitha is so through in sanitizing between customers, checking temperatures, offering hand sanitizer, and requiring everyone (herself included) to wear a mask at all times. Yelp peeps...you will not be disappointed in getting your services at MALA beauty bar!! Highly recommend!

It's such a great feeling to wake up like this - with brows AND lashes :) Crystal is such a perfectionist in everything she does. She's constantly taking new courses, and studying new techniques to grow her business. She's patient, knowledgeable, and after 4-5 years of seeing her I don't trust anyone else with my face and skincare recommendations. Thank you, Crystal!! I've been seeing Crystal for about a year now. I get so many compliments on my lashes - they look natural enough, but I don't wear any makeup except foundation so they really stand out. She's amazing and I refuse to see anyone else. Her new space is so comforting that I almost want to keep my eyes open while my lashes are being done :) now that she's in Rockville, it's not exactly an easy commute for me (living in Lake Ridge, VA), but she's so worth the extra miles. I trust her completely with my face, so I plan on getting my brows microbladed by her as well. So excited for that!
