Haven't gotten any other services done, but 100% recommend eyebrow threading! Best place I've been to for it. It's always a fast service even as a walk in. Accurate and as painless as possible too. If you're looking for a new place or even a first ever experience this is the place! 10/10 all the way around.

Im not from upstate NY, and extremely picky about who touches my brows. I was hesitant to try…read moresomeone locally when there are so many options in NYC but decided to give Reema a chance. Wow. She is great. She's been my go to while in Albany and I highly recommend her. As per COVID concerns, she is strict about taking precautions and does not put the thread in her mouth while threading. She wraps it around her neck instead. She offers other services as well (waxing is with a roller not with popsicle sticks). But have only gotten my eyebrows threaded with her. I just want to add that I'm a bit obnoxious and picky about places that I go to, but Reema is truly great. She is the owner and the ONLY one there so you know you'll always get a great job done.

Since the last review was left two years ago, I wanted to update Yelp that Kat is still the…read moreabsolute BEST. I echo everything in Susan's review: Kat is a perfectionist, professional, efficient and SO much fun. Since moving back to NY and trying a few places around CP, I tried Kat in June. I haven't missed an appointment since, and wouldn't go anywhere else! She uses hard and soft wax, will talk you through exactly what you want and makes the whole experience 10/10!!

Katerina is hilarious, terrifying, gorgeous, and welcoming, all at once. This woman understands…read morethat making a customer feel comfortable is absolutely necessary before ripping out all the hair in their ladybits. And Kat doesn't let you *not* feel comfortable. You WILL laugh and joke and chat and feel like you made a friend, and leave her business sort of stunned that you got all that plus a fantastic wax. You don't have a choice. Because Kat is THROUGH. I have never had a wax this smooth or this complete. She even denuded my lower belly ("this happy trail is not so happy") and parts of my upper thighs I'm too lazy to always shave ("it's messing up my masterpiece"). She used three different kinds of wax and was intensely efficient without ever making me feel rushed. She also didn't make me feel like a fat glob of rolling and undulating lard deposits, as is so often the case for big girls when we get waxed. She asked me to hold some of my skin tight, but I never felt grotesque or like I didn't belong there. I also had much less irritation than I've had with other wax experiences, and I really like that she didn't tell me to come back in four weeks. Six to eight. That seems so much more rational, manageable. Very refreshing. Bottom line: go see Kat. Your confidence will skyrocket ... but it might be difficult to resist the urge to show everyone how dang smooth you are down there.

I have long hair and am always worried about a new stylist cutting too much off - Lauran did a wonderful job of leaving my length while adding in face framing layers.

My first experience at Kristin's was thanks to a groupon purchased by my wonderful fiance (then,…read moreboyfriend) for a massage, facial, and manicure. The time came where the groupon had nearly expired -- given that I am a terrible procrastinator -- and Kristin worked VERY hard with me to find a time where I could come in. All of the services that I received were exceptional, and although I haven't had my hair done by Kristin yet, she is a kind and welcoming individual who always seems glad to see me. Since that first time, I have been in every couple of months for one person in particular: Amy, the aesthetician of my dreams. Amy is my guru, my hero, my Yoda. When I first came in, I had (with all of the best of intentions) completely destroyed my skin. I had been using various products I knew very little about in an attempt to treat my acne which had actually happened as a result of the astringent products I was using making my face extremely sensitive! To hide this from others I was piling foundation and concealer onto my face, which prevented any kind of healing. Amy knew instantly what was wrong and had all sorts of recommendations to make. Every day my skin looks better, and each time I go to Kristin's her smile shows me how drastic the change has been. In fact, with the exception of a tinted SPF I have been using, I have almost completely ceased to use make-up. I don't need it! My skin is incredible! Although everyone at Kristin's will make your day and make you feel fabulous, I cannot recommend Amy's services highly enough. My sister (also an aesthetician) had been telling me for months to find a professional and get real advice about my skin, and her advice led me to this person who made a HUGE difference in my self-image and confidence. Go to Kristin's! As soon and as often as possible!!! You will not regret this decision!

I needed a haircut in a tight time frame, so I made an appointment here despite having a negative…read moreexperience for a hair styling appointment a couple of years ago. If I had not had that bad experience, this would be a 4 star, maybe 5 star review. But I am moderating it based on what I experienced in the past, while keeping an open mind for raising it in the future. Rosibel was my stylist for my haircut. She did a great job all around. My shampoo was relaxing, I could see her focused on getting my hair right while she did the actual cutting, and her blow dry styling was wonderful. Even my husband noticed, and he doesn't really pick up on that stuff. I was so happy with how my hair looked, it felt like a shame that I was just going home, haha. I wanted to show it off, and that is not my typical post-haircut mood.

The service was great from everyone who worked there. First I had my massage with Carolyn, and it was hands-down, the best massage of my life. There is nothing I hate more than a massage where you feel more tightness because they didn't work the spot enough or with enough pressure. She was sure to work thoroughly, and it paid off, I felt a million times better than when I walked in. Then I had a facial with MaryAnn, and she was excellent as well! I am a super nerd so I like to understand the process, and MaryAnn explained each step to me, why they use certain things, how it helps, etc. They also told us of several specials they are currently offering, or will be in the coming months, which is great considering how expensive it can be to pamper yourself! A great spa, highly recommended!
