Growing up, I went to random salons and had enough bad experiences that I spent most of my adult years nervous to let anyone touch them again. Eventually, they would get so overgrown that I'd start searching for someone new, visit a place three or four times over a six-month period, and usually realize I still wasn't being heard -- or that once they became comfortable and trusted my business, the service no longer felt as thoughtful as it did the first time. Elaine was completely different. She did an incredible job listening to exactly what I wanted and executing it beautifully. She made me feel heard, comfortable, and cared for the entire time. She also has such a young, warm energy and loves to chat, which was such a nice touch since I was stressed, working, and getting a face wax and Brazilian at the same time! Thank you, Elaine -- I will definitely be back.

This review is of the aesthetician Maria at Forest Spa Boutique…read more I've been regularly going to Maria since 2019 for Brazilian waxing. So it's high time I leave her a review. She is meticulous in her attention to detail, she will find and remove that last stray hair for results that you want to show off in bikini bottoms. And if you are prone to ingrown hairs, Maria has got a treatment regimen that will clear things up quickly. Oh, and I would be doing readers a disservice if I did not mention that Maria has a lovely beside-manner. Which is really appreciated when getting services that have the potential to be slightly awkward, like Brazilian waxing, at least at first :). I've also had the privilege of her doing my facials, brow waxing and lash lifting. Her knowledge of skin care and cosmetic treatments impresses me, so she is one of the few people besides my dermatologist that I trust to work on my skin. Her steady and gentle hands make things like her facial massages absolute bliss. Her talent for lash lifting gets me a gorgeous curl that flatters my face and lasts for many weeks. Thank you for being great at what do, Maria.

I will definitely be booking again. I did the 60min massage, body wrap, and 45 min facial. Highly recommend!

Very disappointing experience. I would not recommend this place…read more I chose a service that was advertised at $65, but by the end I was charged over $100 because of multiple extra charges. I was charged extra for things like cutting my nails and applying the nail color, which I was not clearly informed about beforehand. When I asked the woman for an explanation of the additional charges, instead of calmly explaining the pricing, she became upset with me. Customers have every right to know what they are being charged for before agreeing to additional services. On top of that, the nails were not done well, and after paying over $100, I was still expected to leave a tip. I don't mind paying for a good service, but I do not appreciate feeling like I am being charged extra for every little thing without being clearly informed. I would not recommend this nail spa. I feel the pricing and the way the situation was handled were very disappointing, and unfortunately I left feeling taken advantage of rather than satisfied with the service.

I had such an amazing first experience at DEP Beauty Lounge! I came in with a concept for my nails,…read moregave it to Mia, and she absolutely RAN with it. She took what I had in my head, added her own creativity, and collaborated with me so easily throughout the entire process. I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Mia was also so easy to talk to. We spent the appointment chatting about life, her passions, and her goals of becoming a medical assistant. It genuinely felt like hanging out and getting to know someone while she casually made my nails look incredible. Nina did my pedicure and was wonderful too! Normally I'm the type who has to match my toes to my hands, but since this was my first time at DEP, I kept it simple and just got a little taste of what they could do. After this experience, though, next time we're going all in on both. While I was there, Anna, the owner, also took the time to introduce herself and tell us about the many different services they offer. That little interaction really added to the experience. The whole salon felt welcoming, personable, and like they genuinely care about building relationships with their clients. 10/10 experience. I'd tell everyone to book with Mia and Nina... except I also need them to have availability when I call. JK -- FILL THEIR BOOKS! They deserve it.

Treat yourself! I booked an appointment for my birthday set…read moreand wanted to find a salon near me that I could Commit to. I had a previous gel x set that I wanted gone & they removed it right away. My inspo was chrome French tips with a bow charm - simple and elegant. I loved the prep work done for my nails. A lot of places will do the bare minimum to maximize the number of clients but girl took her time, asked me if the shape was right, adjusted accordingly - COMMUNICATION 1000/10. The vibe was so chill and I left feeling so happy with my birthday set. One of the things that I appreciated was that she was super transparent about the price ahead of time when I showed her my nail inspo. We adjusted as the design and color came through. Overall: 10/10 treat yourself when you can I would def come back & ask for Kaddy!

I had my first appoint at Hair International with Maryam and I will now never go anywhere else…read more Not only was Rebecca at the front desk warm and welcoming but my stylist was more than I ever expected. I have a tender head and not once did I yell "ouch!". That's a first. Maryam talked me through the process, was very knowledgeable, kind, and patient.

I have been a loyal client of this salon for many years. Since my regular stylist is on vacation, I…read morewas scheduled to see Sue, whom I have never met. I live an hour and a half away, and while I was almost at the salon, Rebecca at the front deskcalled to say they were running 15 minutes late--with zero apology. When I pointed out the double standard regarding their strict late policy for clients, Rebecca took on an incredibly empowered and condescending attitude. She told me that 'with my attitude' the stylist wouldn't want to see me, and she hung up on me. When I called back, she claimed she had now spoken to Sue and that Sue refused to see me, but they conveniently tried to 'bait and switch' me to a different appointment. It is appalling that a front-desk employee feels entitled to gatekeep and insult a long-term customer before they've even met the stylist. Because of this ego-driven behavior, I spent three hours on a round-trip commute for absolutely nothing. I refused the second appointment because I will not give my business to a place that treats loyalty with such blatant disrespect.

I would not recommend coming here if you're a bride or have an important event coming up. I'm…read moregetting married in two weeks and came in for a facial. In the middle of the facial, I realized my eyebrows were being plucked without anyone asking me first. I immediately asked if she was plucking my brows and explained that I do not let other people shape my eyebrows and did not want them plucked. Instead of stopping, she insisted it would only be 'five hairs' and pressured me to let her continue. When she showed me the mirror, I was devastated. My naturally full brows had been noticeably thinned and reshaped just two weeks before my wedding. What is most upsetting is that I never consented to having my eyebrows shaped. Something that alters someone's appearance should never be done during a facial without asking first, especially this close to an important event. To top it all off, I was then handed a $600 bill. Leaving $600 poorer and in tears over my eyebrows two weeks before my wedding was absolutely not the experience I expected.

I have never gotten a facial that made a big enough difference for me to recommend monthly facials…read moreto other, UNTIL I experienced a facial at Monika Stone Skin. I've gotten facials from Azarhia and Monika herself, and I cannot recommend them enough. They have helped me through some rough skin issues (mostly breakouts, and overall skin rejuvenation). Every time I leave the office, my skin glows and looks so much healthier, AND I've found that the results actually last. With over 20 years of experience, Monika is a wealth of knowledge and you can tell she truly cares about each and every one of her clients. 100/10 experience! Also, Monika's skin care line has some of my favorite skin care products. I especially love the glycolic toner (for treating acne and exfoliation), I've gone though two bottles already and plan to keep it as part of my daily skin care routine!
