Idalys did such an amazing job, she was great! She used a mix of hard wax and soft wax. She made the experience really comfortable and safe. The service was done after 20 minutes. My favorite thing to do every appointment is go to the bathroom and look at the new affirmation card by the light switch.

That means A++ skill, professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail. More recently, I've been seeing Emme at the Fitchburg location. I'll leave out the personal details of my services, but I appreciate that they work quickly, maintain truly exceptional cleanliness throughout the spaces, and are very good at reading the room--friendly enough to make you feel comfortable, but absolutely able to match the customer's preferred style. For me, that means less chit-chat and more "get down to business," especially since I go through these appointments without pain suppressants. Velvet continues to earn 5 stars.

This being my first time, I can say this experience exceeded my expectation. She was warm and welcoming. Very thorough in directions. When it came to waxing, it may have not been the most pain free, but what really sold me was her time to explain everything-definitely showcased how knowledgeable she is in the field. She gave plenty of recommendations on post care with my million questions and also didn't pressure me into rebooking. I'll likely return here the next time I need a wax.

She works quickly but thoroughly and her soy wax is gentle on my sensitive skin. The Spa itself is beautiful and relaxing and she sells excellent, high-quality skin care products that I now use daily. The moisturizers in particular have really improved the look and feel of my reactive skin. I wholeheartedly recommend Corie and Refresh Skin Spa.

Melissa has a way of working with the eyelash in a way that preserves their health and leaves them seemingly untouched upon removal. One should be very, very cautious in whom they trust when dealing with their lashes. If you come here, you're protected. An entertaining conversationalist as well, she has a way of making the long appointment go by quickly and seamlessly, with the finale of full, impeccable lashes --with quite the lengthy lifespan if you care for them properly-- that are well worth the investment. Even in Manhattan or LA, I've yet to find work paralleled to hers, nor a specialist who cares as much as she does. She's magic and a total babe.

I share this- if you're trying to gradually move back to a brunette- this probably isn't the right salon. Below are photos after the initial service, after the correction (photos after initial service were shared with salon), and the inspiration photo. I reached out to Rooted Culture regarding my correction for advice and was told "we're not a good fit". The person delivering this message was very nice- but not what I expected. While I agree, it's left me to navigate the aftermath alone. I had a consultation with Charlie regarding what I wanted to accomplish, reviewed pinterest photos, etc. I brought a singular inspiration photo to the service appointment. I was candid about the over highlighting of my hair historically and my desire to get back to a brunette with highlights vs dark blonde with highlights (which is where I started). When my hair was dried- 1/2 of my head had more highlights than the other half. There were chunky very bright blonde pieces at the front and the distance from scalp to initial highlight was very long. I mentioned the dark roots and uneven highlights, but I slept on it. I called back to correct on Wednesday. They fit me in the following Monday- awesome. I should have slowed this appointment down- so we were on the same page. Because I was slotted between clients, it was rushed. Charlie started adding low lights- I mentioned focusing on the bangs because that was my greatest concern- the heavy contrast. Charlie then started to ask me what we should do- I told her I didn't know. a gloss was suggested. Ok sure. Charlie showed me some hair swatches- "which one?" She recommended not going below a 7, but again I told her I don't know. I'd like my hair to be more blended vs high contrast. So she mixed a 9 and 8 (was that the right choice-idk- my head was in a wash bowl). So the gloss stayed on for 4songs- 12-15mins, but was applied to my whole head vs just the bang area. I mentioned that to Charlie that I thought we were only applying to bang area., she mentioned wanting the color to be consistent. End result is the dark hair color in the photos. Again not the end of the world or blue, but nothing like the inspiration photo or my expressed desire to keep some dimension.

My stylist was able to assist with what I was looking for. I felt the process was a bit high for the level and was different than what I thought I'd selected but I appreciates that they confirmed what the process would be before moving forward. I guess maybe what I wanted was a little different than the options available on the site. I'm always a little unsure what to select when I book hair appointments online.

Even though I didn't give him much to work with, he still managed to give me one of the cutest haircuts I've ever had. Ken is trained in the Vidal Sassoon technique, which is to hairstyling what music theory is to a musician--an essential foundation that elevates his work to an art form. Honestly, with his level of skill and attention to detail, he could probably be charging twice as much in a big city. If you're looking for a stylist who will give you exactly what you're hoping for, I highly recommend Ken!

That is not the sort of thing you should be surprised by when you arrive, I'd had no advance notice that there was a change or asked if I wanted to reschedule for a time Candice could see me. Since I was leaving on a trip in a couple of days, I decided to stay for the appointment. The technician was friendly, but left a lot of hair behind and also pulled up skin. I was left afterwards with an uncomfortable, red, peeling area of skin about three inches long and an inch and a half wide, and yet there was still a lot of hair left. Responded to the automated survey they send out with my concerns about the visit and received no follow-up.

Especially when getting nail treatments I am very particular about cleanliness to avoid infections and Cozy Nails & Spa was definitely up to par. Additionally they had cute decorations throughout and always have entertaining shows on in the background. I got a special set done about a month ago for my birthday but this most recent time I was coming in to get it removed and a normal manicure to let my nails breathe. My nail technician was Chia. She was very kind and did a great job checking in with me and making sure she was doing what I wanted. One of my favorite things about Cozy is that every time I have gone, I make an appointment, and they honor that. Lots of other nail spas will take walk ins even with an appointment on the way and you have to wait to get started 30 minutes past your appointment time. This has never been the case for me at Cozy. Chia did a great job and was done within 45 minutes. The total for gel x removal and manicure was $48. In my three months of coming here, Cozy has - been clean - Provided detailed but still quick service - Honored appointments - Had kind and attentive technicians - Never cut my skin/nailbeds - provided service that I was happy with

When I called with a question, they were very nice and I made an appointment. I am so glad that I did. Tom did my nails. He did a great job! Did a nice job and the cuticles, the length and the shape. Exactly how I like it. When I walked in this was the color I wanted, but they had the color with sparkles. So I got that. If I was up here again I would stop in. I just wish that they were in my neighborhood so they could be my regular to go place. Thanks Tom! You're the best!
