I experienced a few firsts today. 1: My first visit to The…read moreEsthetics Bar. What looks so cute and quaint from the outside turned out to be a glamorous and surprisingly large salon that is absolutely stunning. 2. My first time sugaring. I was so nervous but it ended up being quite relaxing. To the point that I fell asleep midway through my appointment. The pricing for the service was also very reasonable. 3. My first time meeting the unforgettable esthetician, Lori. As soon as I walked through the door, Lori greeted me with a smile and overflowing southern charm. We laughed and talked the entire time. She made me feel so comfortable as well as safe (as she wore her mask throughout the entire appointment). I can't wait to return. Thank you Lori!

Lashes can be complicated. There seems to be a chain on every corner trying to get you to sign up…read morefor their membership. That's where I started and thanks to a Raleigh influencer, this is where the lash story ends. Kevie has a soft touch and you don't even realize she is touching your lashes. She is a pro...I mean she took less than an hour to give me a full set. Not even the "masters" at the chains could do that. And her pricing is no fuss, which is a dream for my type of personality. Who wants to go in thinking you're paying one price only to get hit with a few different t fees depending on who you see and what you get done. I left her table looking gorgeous and feeling gorgeous and booked my fill appointment the same day! I didn't have the dreaded bloodshot eyes from glue or the stuck together lashes or a heavy fan on a lash giving that clumped look. Instead it was a perfect application. Kevie is a best of Raleigh and I am glad to be influenced to try her!

Kevie is excellent. She is so efficient and gentle with the eyelash extensions that I fall asleep…read moremost of the time! Going from a trusted lash artist in NY who I was with for 2+ years, I wouldn't let just anyone touch my lashes. Kevie is my go-to for lash extensions and deserves rightfully so every part of the tip I provide to her at the end of each service. I would highly recommend!

Two of my nails are crooked- when I tried telling the lady about my thumb (the nail was lifted up -…read morethe acrylic part) she basically thought I was making it up and got upset that she had to fix it. My other thumb nail is crooked. My middle finger is as well. None of the lengths match & it was 65$ I will definitely not be going back

I've been hopping around Raleigh looking for my next lash tech after the best I've ever had moved…read moreto NYC. If you have seen my other reviews, you know Raleigh definitely has their fair share of techs, in all price ranges in just about every corner of the city. And most of them are pretty good. Good enough that I've returned for multiple visits. But sometimes even that isn't enough. I'm looking for a certain vibe with the tech and also looking to get my money's worth. I decided to try Abhy after a month of no lashes and tired of looking at my poor face, who looked like a naked mole rat without the extensions. It was a great experience. The space is clean, smells good and Abhy herself is personable. She wants you to be happy and it shows in her work. I was amazed at how natural my extensions looked. And I'm not afraid of wisps, volumes, etc. But she nailed it, it's a perfect every day look. My next visit I am doing a bit more va-va-voom, because it will be my birthday. I'll update my review if some how things go terribly wrong. But I don't think it will. The pricing is fair and she does evening appointments if you need them. She's on IG, stalk her for a bit and see her work.

I had my first appointment today and not sure it won't be my last. My husband gave me a gift…read morecertificate and I was so excited after reading the reviews. I was let down. Let me say my masseuse was not one of the ones mentioned. She was not very friendly. Didn't ask what brought me in or if I had any areas of focus. Just looked at the paper I filled out said ok and that was that. She was so rough even after I told her it was hurting very badly. She said it was my fault I have knots so it's going to hurt but didn't let up on the pressure or get out of that area. I have RA and Lupus and severe joint and muscle pain which I did advise of. I was writhing when she touched certain spots and it seemed she pressed harder. I asked for my lower back to get some attention but that didn't happen either she stayed up top. I usually get a good nap and feel great after a good massage but that did not happen this time. I couldn't relax. I went home and have been so sore (not in a good way either). I can't move my shoulders, arms or bend down. My neck is stiff and I've had a migraine since I left. I may try again with someone else but I'm on the fence. Just an update: it's a week after my terrible experience. No one from the spa has reached out. No one has acknowledged my experience. I am still in terrible pain that was caused by the masseuse. I'm now having pain, shocks running down my mid back and legs from the excessive pressure the masseuse used after I told her it was too much, after I told her it was hurting, after she told me it was my fault because of my knots.
