I am extremely dissatisfied with Gentle Touch for Electrolysis treatment and would not recommend…read morethis business for adults or minors. I was a client myself and also brought my 16-year-old daughter for treatment. The owner was unprofessional, inflexible, and provided poor customer service. When the treatment was ineffective, my daughter was made to feel as though it was her fault, which is completely unacceptable--especially when working with a minor. There was no clear plan of care, no accountability for poor results, and the equipment used does not appear to be state-of-the-art. Rather than adjusting the approach, responsibility was shifted to the client. I would walk around with a full beard before I ever give this woman another penny of my money.

I started the process years ago but had to stop due to family life etc. However, the past two years have been life changing and I am more confident in my appearance and that's all because of Sohelia gentle touch and the excellent treatment process.

I highly recommend A Gentle Touch for anyone looking for hair removal. Thanks

~ LASHES REVIEW ~ So…read moreas previously mentioned, I caved and got megavolume lash extensions here. Now I'm addicted and have to get them forever. It's a blessing and a curse. My first lashes appointment was with Fernanda and they looked great, but they all fell out when I went on vacation and my face was assaulted by the wind and salt water of the Pacific - I also didn't know you have to wash them to prevent oily buildup, so yeah. I came back two weeks later with literally no extensions left and had to pay for a full set all over again rather than a touch-up. I do wish they had told me about needing to wash them, because I really wasn't provided with the full aftercare instructions the first time I got them. But, now I know. They sell a special foam wash and gentle applicator for the soap here, which I recommend purchasing. My second session was with Viktoriia, who is absolutely incredible. Mynx & Inks is definitely out of the way if you live in DC, but it's worth it for the fair pricing and amazing quality.

All my friends who go say that Blu Water is like no other- getting your nails done in the spa truly feels indulgent. I got a massage done there and it was literally the best massage of my life. So when it came time to get my skin in order, I trusted Blu Water's technicians. I found Ivetta and I am SO glad I did. After I turned 50 I noticed my skin changing. A year later, my skin lost all of its elasticity and I was breaking out- no doubt a loss of estrogen and after taking some pretty serious meds. I scheduled an appointment for a specific service but when I showed up, Ivette took a look at my skin and made recommendations for a different service. After three treatments with her over the course of about two and a half months, my skin has completely turned around! It's absolmutely glowing! It's even, my pores are smaller and it's tighter. It was just starting to crepe- GONE! And even the dark circles under my eyes are lighter. It's abs amazing and I never thought I could be that woman with pretty skin.

I went to Teres to correct a permanent makeup job another makeup artist had recently done on me…read more The other artist had not analyzed my face properly. She used a harsh color on my brows and misshaped them. She also did a poor job on my lower eyeliner. Within two months, you could not even see I had eyeliner on my left eye. She had connected my lower and upper eyeliner on my right eye, so my eyes did not match. I was so disappointed in how I looked. I knew I needed to have these mistakes corrected, and I knew I needed to find a highly creditable makeup artist who could do it. I did extensive research on finding a highly recommended permanent makeup artist in the DC area. I wanted someone with experience and credentials I could trust. My research led me to Teres Wright of Permanent Beauty in Rockville, MD. Teres has excellent attention to detail and listens attentively to your needs. She is very knowledgeable about makeup and color. She is friendly, warm, and takes her time to analyze your face taking into consideration your age, skin tone, lips, etc., and only then will she make recommendations on what will work best for you. Painlessly, Teres corrected the mistakes the first artist made on my face. She camouflaged the areas that needed to be hidden, and she reshaped and recolored the other areas to enhance my face. I look so much better. If you want outstanding results the first time, make an appointment with Teres. She is a perfectionist, and her work speaks for itself. I highly recommend Teres to anyone who is thinking of getting permanent makeup.

I loved the luxury of permanent eyeliner so much, that I brought my young adult daughters to have their eyeliner done as well. Teres chose the perfect colors for each of us and we all love not having to wear eye make-up. I also went back to have my lips done. They are so natural! People are shocked when I tell them my lip color is actually permanent! I am booking an appointment to have my eyebrows done this summer. Then, I won't really need any make-up! If you have been thinking about Permanent make-up, schedule an appointment with Teres. She will take great care of you and you will love the results.

Everything was sterile and each part of the process was explained to me which I really appreciated. Since then everything has been fantastic - they are exactly what I wanted. I am so happy every morning to wake up and look like I've put on a little something. I feel it makes my face much brighter and less washed out. Also, the outlining she did gives them a little more fullness which I love. The healing was also super easy, I was nervous they would be really peeling and dry but I really only had one day of minimal dryness and flaking like I had gone to the beach without chapstick and that was it She sent me home with supplies I would need for aftercare and messaged me to check in to see how I liked my results. I am so happy I saw Deyonne for this treatment, highly recommend

The option to get semi permanent eyebrows to avoid not taking 5-10 minutes on the daily making sure said eyebrows are filled-in with the right shade of brown/black and the right amount of strokes? Especially, for a person who is lazy when it comes to makeup? Sign me up! Yes, it took me six years later. But it was worth the long-ass wait. Huemon Beauty did an excellent job with my eyebrows. I was very specific wanting natural looking brows. And she customized exactly to my specificity. I'm talking from the shape to the colors to the way the hair strokes were arranged. It's a long process (2.5 hours) but Deyonne, owner and technician, made sure I was comfortable throughout. She even asked my music choice to play in the background; I went with my homies Backstreet Boys and Jazmine Sullivan. Roughly 1.5 months after the initial procedure was the touchup. This was needed because now my brows look even more amazing. 100% recommend.

It's such a great feeling to wake up like this - with brows AND lashes :) Crystal is such a perfectionist in everything she does. She's constantly taking new courses, and studying new techniques to grow her business. She's patient, knowledgeable, and after 4-5 years of seeing her I don't trust anyone else with my face and skincare recommendations. Thank you, Crystal!! I've been seeing Crystal for about a year now. I get so many compliments on my lashes - they look natural enough, but I don't wear any makeup except foundation so they really stand out. She's amazing and I refuse to see anyone else. Her new space is so comforting that I almost want to keep my eyes open while my lashes are being done :) now that she's in Rockville, it's not exactly an easy commute for me (living in Lake Ridge, VA), but she's so worth the extra miles. I trust her completely with my face, so I plan on getting my brows microbladed by her as well. So excited for that!

Communication was transparent when discussing my expectations and what we'd be able to achieve during the appointment. Pain was minimal (I ended up falling asleep a few times) and she was responsive when I needed any breaks. I have never done anything to my eyebrows besides tweezing, so for a while, I was researching and looking for a local artist to confidently trust booking with. I'm based in NOVA and traveled to MD just for Mikaella! 100% worth the trip :))

I got my lashes done with Lucie!! She's definitely an expert, and immediately made me feel super comfortable (btw: if you have any photos of the type of extensions you want, definitely bring them as they're a nice touchpoint). I'm not going to lie, I wasn't as helpful as I could have been, but even with just a rough idea of what I liked (general style + number of lashes), Lucie understood what I wanted. The end result is my lashes are gorgeous and I'm in love. They've also been falling out slower than when I get my lashes done elsewhere, so super happy with the result. Highly, highly recommend coming here, even if you're a lash newbie and just want to try out extensions!

She was fumbling around, didn't even secure my bottom lashes, and I left with burnt lashes. They were a mess going in different directions and looked like hair that was put under a flame and burned. It took me so long to get them healthy again, I tried every product to make them look even semi-normal. I was truly traumatized. The place did not look clean or professionally set up either. Obviously I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone or go back.
