You can tell she really cares about her clients and takes the time to explain everything and make sure you're comfortable. Ava's attention to detail is amazing, and I've been very happy with my results so far. She is friendly, personable, and creates such a welcoming experience. I highly recommend Ava to anyone considering laser hair removal -- especially if you want someone who is experienced, thorough, and truly cares about getting you the best results!

Now I am on microderm "maintenance," but am so much more informed on how to take care of my skin, preventative measures on keeping acne-free, and when I need to go in to avoid new breakouts. She is so easy-going, just a pleasure to be around, upbeat and plays great music, too! I have recommended Calming Waters to several friends now, and so happy she is able to provide this life-improving service to people.

Thanks to Regina Celeste my brows look amazing (and consistent) EVERY day!! With Regina you receive a combination of professional artistry, creativity and industry expertise, it's clear that she knows her stuff! I was new to microblading and she was patient and took the time to walk me through the entire process to ensure I was comfortable. Regina's preparation, attention to detail and communication throughout is reassuring and helpful, the studio is clean and sanitary. You will get the eyebrow shape and color that you want (there are several brow variations; big and bold or more natural); she can do it all. Regina will work with you until you are 100% satisfied. Total BONUS - my procedure included a FREE touch-up! Based on my research, I was prepared to be incognito for a few days while my brows were healing and I expected the procedure to be quite painful. Big surprise, the pain was minor and I was out in public at day two into my aftercare - no hiding necessary! While healing time varies for each person, my brows have never scabbed or bled. I am absolutely 100% thrilled with my results and I highly recommend Regina Celeste Permanent Makeup to anyone looking for a Microblading/Permanent makeup artist -she's amazing!

I have never been unsatisfied..... until TODAY. Today, things became political. She hadn't even started the brow fill when I said to her that, during a pandemic, I was surprised she didn't ask her clients if they had been vaccinated. Her reply: I don't care if they have been vaccinated or not. As a client, I do care if I am in a room with an unvaccinated person. When I asked her if she had been vaccinated she flipped out, saying that was not my business, and making some other rude remarks about me being pushy and difficult to work with. Then she said she would not do the brows and to not contact her in the future. I walked out feeling that it was in my best interest to not be in a room with an unvaccinated person.

"Tales of Trails and Tea Houses" April - September, 2022…read moreMy new theme for some of my yelp reviews for this year! My husband and I are planning on exploring a new trail and a new tea house for our monthly dates for the 6 warmer months of this year! :) On June 16th of this year, my husband and I wandered in to Herban Wellness. We felt welcome and attended to. We're impressed that they make their own teas, so the teas here are very unique. They have a lot of one-of-a-kind teas to choose from. They have a great variety of herbs and other natural care products as well. I chose the "Healthy Skin" tea to purchase, and I also picked up some local honey that was made in Maple Valley, WA. The "Healthy Skin" tea tasted interesting - woody, bitter, and earthy. It didn't taste bad at all, but I felt like it was maybe made with health benefits as its primary purpose, and taste maybe was secondary. I would drink it again, but I won't be raving about the flavor. However, the honey was delicious. I also picked up some dried marshmallow root pieces as well, to make marshmallow root tea. I used to visit a different herb place to source my marshmallow root when we lived in Seattle, so it's nice to find this place that is located pretty close to our new house on the East Side. I felt a bit overwhelmed while I was in there, but in a good way. There is a lot to choose from in a somewhat small space, and I kept seeing things that looked really interesting! Visiting this business was a good experience for my husband and I.

Michael didn't hesitate--he unlocked the door, helped me find the right solution, and wouldn't let me pay for it. After dealing with holiday traffic and a long walk from parking, his willingness to help meant a lot. This is the kind of genuine, go-the-extra-mile service that's worth recognizing.

I understand that it is going to be impossible for me to schedule an appointment, but she deserves 10 stars instead of 5. I have really dark hair that tends to go brassy as soon as I want to go lighter. Ashlei has this magic touch. She has somehow managed to get my hair to blonde without frying it. She is also a super fun person, so I look forward to each appointment, because I love chatting with her and telling her everything that has been going on with me. Seriously, she knows alp my secrets! Overall, she knows her stuff! She is an amazing hair guru. Highly recommended. I love her!

I am concerned that the products used during my appointment were expired, old, messed up chemicals. Also my concerns were never adequately addressed and kathy made threats against me and my community. Kathy is also very racist and Anti-Muslim, she is a liberal zionist and I believe she did my face dirty due to knowing my background. I feel like this was a hate crime. My face is now permanently ruined i have never broke out like this ever in my life. Based on my experience, I would not return and would not recommend this service to others. I encourage anyone considering treatment here to ask detailed questions beforehand and carefully review before-and-after results.

Rosacea redness-gone! I've been coming here for years to get…read moremy rosacea treated. The v-beam treatment is the gold standard to get rid of rosacea redness and If you're frustrated and self-conscious about the constant redness and flushing that untreated rosacea causes, then the v-b beam can change your life, it certainly changed mine. If you're tired of everyone asking if you've had a sunburn or if you drink too much I can't recommend v-beam enough. Who you get it from is important though, and you're in great hands with Stella, she is a master v-beam practitioner. After my initial series of treatments years ago I come in here once or twice a year for maintenance treatments and it keeps the rosacea totally in check. Everyone here is warm, welcoming and completely professional. I highly recommend both Stella and Allure!

After waiting for her for 10 minutes, she called me in. I had woken with a cough and was worried that I was getting sick, so I warned her that I was probably getting sick. She then raised her voice at me and asked me to leave. I had to get childcare to get this appointment, and pay for parking, and it all ended ended up being a huge waste of time and money. I've never had anyone in a service capacity be so incredibly rude to me before. Amazing.

The tanning has always been amazing, Kenzie and Tana both do an excellent job on the tan, and they go out of their way to make you few comfortable. Highly recommend paying the extra fee for the Express solution! This was my first experience with lash extensions, and Niki was AMAZING! I did extensions for ~6 months and she has always done a beautiful job, I constantly get compliments for my lashes from friends and family. I could not recommend her more highly. I told myself after my wedding I would stop getting extensions, but couldn't resist for a few more months after (warning, it's addicting!). If I weren't moving to a different area I would definitely still be coming here all the time. Make sure to book online well ahead of time, they book up quick!

Fast-forward to this year and being a COVID-bride, it was a lot of uncertainty and changes. Flawless was so great to work with, when I went for my trial run for makeup a few weeks prior, Sequoia had rules in place to protect her staff and her clients. Only one client is allowed at a time and everyone wears masks (until your actual makeup application). The place is so clean and Sequoia asked me tons of questions to determine exactly what I wanted. I could not be happier with the results, the Flawless team made my bridesmaids and I feel beautiful! The airbrush foundation is incredible, and I got the look I wanted, which was soft, romantic, and not too overdone. My sister and I also got spray tans at Flawless a few days prior and would definitely recommend them for that service. I've gotten spray tans at other places before, but they really knew exactly what to ask and what level to recommend, my sister and I loved how our tans turned out. I can't recommend Flawless enough, their work is amazing!

I was supposed to have an appointment today but realized this morning that I hadn't gotten any confirmation from them, so I called to make sure I was still on the schedule before heading over. They told me "my" doctor, a person I had not met before, had left the practice and they would not have the capacity to reschedule me. They offered to give me the number of another clinic that they're offloading patients to. They claimed I should have received a letter and a text that my appointment was cancelled. I never got a letter, and when I went back and looked, the text I received did not actually indicate to me that the person leaving the practice was my doctor. It just said that a doctor was leaving the practice and IF you happened to have an upcoming appointment with that doctor, you should call to reschedule. Needless to say, the writing has been on the wall for awhile that this is not a clinic with a future for the kind of derms patient I am (maybe, as another review surmises, they are going 100% cosmetic which means less annoyance with insurance and more money per visit), and I guess I'm glad to have had them force me out as a patient so I can find a doctor who I will actually recognize from year to year. But man, what an unprofessional way to go about it with a pretty long term patient.
