She put GEL in my DRY HAIR and it made my hair look like a complete disaster. I had to go home and wash my hair to get the disgusting crusty wax.

I just had my first appointment at Aviva this morning and I already can't recommend it enough…read more I'm from the area originally but live in NYC and am visiting my parents in NH. My eyebrows were long overdue for a touch up. I haven't waxed them in years as I have been having them threaded in New York for a long time now. I quickly realized threading services certainly aren't as common in NH/ME so I started looking for viable waxing services and that's what led me to Aviva. Alisha was so warm and accommodating immediately, and the space is beautiful, clean and calming. Alisha and I chatted throughout my waxing and she's incredibly friendly, interesting and kind while not getting distracted from giving me truly impeccable eyebrows. She was gentle and meticulous and made sure I knew what she was doing and was ok with the direction she was taking with shaping my brows the entire time, which I really appreciated. I have naturally very thick dark eyebrows and they really do make such a difference on my face depending on the shape so I'm particular. Everything was perfect, virtually pain free. I will definitely come back here anytime I'm in the area and will absolutely be recommending to all of my friends nearby. Alisha made me feel comfortable and relaxed the entire time, she's wonderful.

I have had 2 visits so far and am very very happy with my experiences! I had a spray tan with Hannah and it came out so lovely! I also had a regenerative oxygen facial and polished eye with Jennifer.

I was there for about an hour and half of amazing pampering. Cleanse, warm towels, moisturizer and a mask. Don't forget that it also includes hand and arm massage on a heated table that adjusts to something close to zero gravity comfort. Did I say it was heated! Amazing. I would strongly recommend both Polished Spa and their many services and Lisa especially for a facial. What a nice midday break.

Once I found Bethany at Onari it was like the heavens opened and the angels sang.... My brows have never looked better! She is the eyebrow goddess! All hail the Queen but in all seriousness she's very good at what she does and I feel like when I go for an appointment I'm hanging out and catching up with a girlfriend in a serene calm clean beauty space. She's very good at what she does and I can't recommend her place enough! I drive 20-30 min (depending on traffic) to get to her and do this drive because she is 1000% worth it! Just do yourself a favor and book the appointment!

I have had a few different services with Bethany and each one is absolutely amazing. Bethany really…read moremakes her clients feel so relaxed and welcome, and she's more than happy to answer any questions you may have. I've had a couple of facials, as well as the salt glow scrub. When I leave her studio, I feel absolutely amazing. For probably 2 weeks after a facial, I don't even need to wear makeup! She does a great job on extractions and really exfoliates and rehydrates the skin. On top of the excellent work that Bethany does, the products she uses and sells are absolutely top-notch. I have two of the toners, the eye cream and the hydrating serum. I get SO many compliments on my skin! Bethany is a warm, wonderful, knowledgeable person who really, truly cares that she gives you the best possible experience she can. Her presence during treatments is very calm and you can barely hear her moving around. She has everything prepped ahead of time, so there's no fussing with product or messing around with extraneous things. Every single contact that she makes with you has a purpose and a reason. From brushing your hair out of the way to start a facial, to doing a hand massage while a masque sets - nothing is rushed. Skin Esteem has such a great, calming vibe to it, that you can't help but be relaxed when you walk in the door. The colors and tones that Bethany has chosen are beautiful. The waiting area is bright, airy, and welcoming, while her treatment room has an earthy, warm, calm, luxe feel to it. I've been to spas in really expensive hotels (Ex: The Mandara Spa @ Atlantis in the Bahamas) and the service I get from Bethany blows them out of the water. It's not even a comparison. Stop by, get a service, and visiting this studio will become your new "treat yo' self" habit.

Today I had my first Hydrafacial at Skin & Body Spa and I cannot believe the incredible results…read more From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by how beautiful the spa was. The atmosphere is so peaceful, luxurious, clean, and incredibly chic while still feeling warm and welcoming. As a postpartum mom, I've been battling hormonal acne and congestion, and Julianna gave me such an amazing experience from start to finish with my first Hydrafacial. She was incredibly kind, sensitive, compassionate, encouraging, and positive. She truly listened to my concerns, made me feel comfortable, boosted my confidence, and understood my needs throughout the entire appointment. Julianna is hands down one of the best estheticians I've ever experienced, with such a warm and amazing personality. I'm a singer/artist constantly under stage lights, cameras, heavy makeup, and performing, and this gave me such a huge boost of confidence going into a full weekend of performances. I genuinely have not felt my skin feel this calm, smooth, and uncongested in YEARS. I highly recommend Skin & Body Spa and especially Julianna. I genuinely cannot wait to go back next month. Thank you again, Julianna and Skin and Body Spa!

She even gave me a run down of my current skin and suggestions for what my game plan should be for a new skin routine moving forward. The hydro facial itself was satisfying! I loved the suction wand that removed all the gross clogage from my pores. It felt so relieving afterwards and the final after facial feeling was incredible. I felt like two years of crap was removed from my pores! I will definitely return for more routine facials in the future!

She used an antiseptic first, then some powder and then wax. And then repeated the same in reverse order after she finished waxing me. Very quick and not too painful. It's a small little place but has the usual salon services at the usual prices. In case you find it difficult finding the salon, it's on the 2nd floor of a building that has a better store on the first floor. There is paid metered parking outside the salon. If you don't find enough information online you can leave her a voicemail. She responds pretty quickly. Do try this place out. She's really sweet :)

She's also very reasonable in her prices unlike sometimes overpriced spas for the same results and experience. Definitely try Jamie.
