I wanted to love this European Wax Center location because it is much closer to home and way more…read moreconvenient than driving out to my old spot after my longtime waxer left. Unfortunately, after giving this location two tries, I can say it is just not the right fit for me. My first visit was decent, but not great. The service was fine overall, though I did notice stray hairs left behind, which took away from that clean, polished result you expect after a wax. I came back a second time hoping the first visit was just an off day, but that experience was even more disappointing. The waxer I was scheduled with was late, and the front desk was not able to place me with anyone else. They did offer to rebook me for a later time, which I appreciated, but I already had plans and could not wait around. The location is convenient, and I can see the appeal, but for me, waxing is one of those services where consistency and attention to detail matter a lot. Good concept, but not what I am looking for.

I just left this location for the second time today, attempting to receive services. I was informed…read moreby "Mignon" that only one waxer showed up today, which is pretty typical for this location. This place should be shut down as it reflects poorly on the name and brand of this established company and never meets the mark for first in class customer service. They regularly close early, open late, have no one to accommodate the demand of the customers, and give subpar waxes by untrained staff, who wax against the grain of your hair. If you're not desperate, as I was today, stay clear of this place and go where your business is valued.

Ok, so.....I'm a few years(!!!!!) late on this review. But I'm trying to clear out my queue of…read moreplaces that I've been meaning to review but just never got around to it. CRU-MM is one of those places. I remember that I was looking for an aesthetician at the time, and I was very impressed with CRU'MM's marketing materials and results. So I made an appointment for a facial and had a good experience overall. I remember Regina being very kind, her salon being very calming (with free snacks), and the facial itself being very good (notwithstanding a nasty acne bump I had on my face at the time). I have no complaints about the facial itself. The only reason I give the experience 4 (instead of 5) stars is because I remember a few things that were less than ideal. First, there is not clear communication about the exact location of the salon within the building, so that leads to unnecessary confusion after you arrive. Also, if I recall correctly, Regina was running a bit behind on the day I went, so I recall having to sit in a small waiting area while waiting for my appointment to finally start. There was one other couple there, and they were watching some kind of raunchy video on speaker. So it was not a relaxing or edifying experience before the facial began. Thankfully, the energy was very different inside Regina's salon once my appointment actually got started. In sum, I only visited once. But I had a good experience overall. Although it was not convenient enough of a location for me to continue going (such that I eventually found an amazing black aesthetician in Bethesda that I've been using for all these many years), I would still recommend that anyone in the Lanham area check CRU-MM out!

The decor is beautiful, it's spacious inside, and it smells good. The ladies at the front desk upon arrival were really friendly. There was a wait for service but they do have massage chairs at the front for guests to enjoy. They also have candy and chips at the front for guests. They offer a drink menu of coffee/tea, cocktails, and mocktails but there are no prices so I'm not sure how much extra it would be. For this particular trip, it was all about my daughter. She got a kid's mani and pedi with gel. She said her technician was really nice. The price was reasonable and on par with other shops. The nails did chip after a week. Since I didn't get anything done this time, the massage chairs at the front were the star for me. I might've been a little too comfy because I felt myself starting to doze off while waiting. Overall, I would go back.

I have had everything done here...she is professional, and timely, which I appreciate so much. I've never waited more than 10 minutes for my appointment. She sets timely policies and I greatly appreciate that because nothing is worse than a business that doesn't appreciate your time. The brazilian sugaring experience is amazing. It hurts, but anything in that area hurts. But the sugaring leaves you exfoliated and smooth. The Bye-Bye Green cream she sells for preventing in-grown hairs is also amazing. Along with the exfoliating bar. It has changed my waxing experience. Let's discuss these brows...listen...you cannot tell me she is not out here giving life to faces. My brows look immaculate after she is done. I love the tint. If I follow the care instructions my tint lasts up to 3 weeks. My gym routine sometimes knocks it down to 1.5-2weeks, but it is worth it. She also gave me a helpful hint to help my brown grow in thicker...you will have to make an appointment to get that info. Because she is amazing she is always booked. I mean booked months in advance, but appointments open up, just keep checking the site and calling. If you are lucky you can get it.

From the start, I loved that I could choose my own music--being a jazz fan, that was such a thoughtful touch and really set the tone for a relaxing experience. Josh was incredibly attentive and skilled. He took the time to focus on my problem areas and consistently checked in to make sure the pressure was just right, which I really appreciated. It's clear he knows exactly what he's doing--every movement felt intentional and effective. Not only did he work out the tension, but he also gave helpful recommendations for maintaining and improving those tight areas afterward. Honestly, part of me hesitated to even write this review because I know his schedule is going to fill up fast--but great service deserves to be recognized. I'll definitely be coming back monthly. Highly recommend!

5 stars for the stretch therapy 0 stars for the massage…read more PROS: Clean, quiet & comfortable facility. Calm vibe with soft 90s/2000s R&B playing--love that. Bathrooms are beautifully decorated & pristine. Clients are offered red or white wine at check-in (a nice touch, though glasses vs. plastic cups would elevate it). Massage chairs in the Ascension Room are amazing, though some are visibly worn & the digital touchpad on mine was wobbly. They also aren't intuitive--I couldn't figure out some functions. Filtered water machine in the Ascension Room. Skincare products--Epsom salts, masks, aromatherapy oils, lip treatments--available at the front desk. The stretch therapy was incredible. Intense but thorough. Tiara explained everything clearly, encouraged open communication, & I felt so much relief after just 30 minutes. Appreciated the ottoman at the table for belongings. CONS: The walls are very thin. I could hear conversations, laughter, and music coming from the hallway and nearby rooms. When I was called for my service, the staff member's voice was a bit louder than I would expect for a relaxing spa setting. It startled me because it was a dark and otherwise quiet room (except for the background music), and I was relaxing with my eyes closed. In the massage room, there was nowhere to put my clothes or purse. I had to hang my purse, clothes, and underwear on the back of the door... On full display. Didn't like that. The massage was...weird. One of the weirdest I've ever had in my life. It also seemed like the massage therapist, Mendel, wanted to do what SHE wanted to do instead of what I asked. Before the massage began, she asked me if there were any areas she would like me to focus on. I mentioned that my neck, back and shoulders were tight. She then looked dismayed and said "Well.. I do *full body* massages", emphasizing "full body" as if I was asking for a service that she didn't provide. I responded by informing her that I was simply responding to her question. I was also not prepared to answer so many questions prior to receiving my service... Especially questions that I had already responded to on the pre-appointment survey I completed before booking. I was even more frustrated that even though, during this Q&A I indicated that there were certain areas I didn't want massaged (i.e., my scalp), they were massaged anyway. She also forgot about my aromatherapy add-on. initially it wasn't a big deal, but she asked me about it after I was already undressed. It would have been much more appropriate and comfortable if she had stepped inside and closed the door to ask me about it. But instead she knocked on the door, stood in the open doorway (which faced the hallway, where anyone walking by could have seen me) to ask me about it. Although I was lying face down and covered, I still had to sit up (potentially exposing myself) to smell the different fragrances...all while the door remained wide open. It felt both uncomfortable and unprofessional so I told her to skip the aromatherapy altogether. When she came back in the room, I was laying face down on the table because that's standard practice.. When she returned and saw this, she grumbled, "I thought we were starting face up". Ma'am, if you want me to do something just say so. Just tell me to do so. The passive aggressive grumbling is not necessary. She also didn't have much in terms of bedside manner. Additionally, her touch was not relaxing at all--more jarring than anything. And Her "technique" was strange--I've never experienced anything like it. She would do things like lift my head off the table and just hold it there, lightly rub the tops of my shoulders in circular motions, pinch the base of my skull (for like 30 seconds), under my arms at the base of my rotator cuffs, and periodically mash her hands and fists into my skin--almost like she was pawing at me. She also attempted to massage my belly which was... weird. This was not a prenatal massage and that's also not a common place for someone who is not pregnant to be massaged. It was uncomfortable and weird. She was also not attentive. Even though I stated my problem areas, she completely ignored my neck. She also burned my back with the hot towel. Additionally, as I mentioned, she massaged my scalp even though I indicated that that's not one of the places I was interested in being massaged. "Awkward and uncomfortable" pretty much sums up this massage experience. One of the worst I've ever had.

I've been searching for a new nail salon for a few months and have tried spa 1 a few times mostly…read moreout of convenience. The salon is spacious with 10-14 nail stations and about 10 pedicure chairs . There is a television showing mostly travel images and music is played. They do offer beverages during appointments. The last two visits (actually 3) have been less than pleasant. The nail technician does a good job, but the polishing could use some work, the sides of the nail are often missed as the painting is a straight line. The front desk and lack of punctuality with appointments is what is upsetting. An appointment before Christmas was not honored, in fact the technician was over 20 minutes late and nobody said anything, no acknowledgement that the technician was running behind or offer of water etc. I walked out. The woman who works and the desk chased me down and begged me to return. I had another commitment directly after so I said I would come back another day. That evening another person from the salon called me to apologize and offered a discount when I returned. The discount wasn't honored. Again during my last appointment the tech was late (15 minutes) and this was after an older gentlemen working the front desk called to ask me if I would be on time to appointment. Lastly, their prices are not posted and I feel they are quite expensive ($55 for an acrylic fill with gel polish). They charge an extra 4% if you use a credit card to pay. Pack your patience and make sure you know what you're being charged for before visiting this location.
