Skintopia is a haven for all those who are weary/hairy/dry-skinned...WHATEVER you need, my girl Christina will hook you up. Facials, waxes, eyelashes, makeup, she does it all! I literally drive from Syracuse to Rochester every 8 weeks because I trust no one else with my Brazilian! 2 times in my life I went elsewhere and let me tell you, I'll make the drive to Skintopia now. Make an appointment, stop by, relax to the music, soft beds, heated towels, wonderful service, delicious complementary tea, and great company. You'll be hooked!!

I went here a couple times at the beginning of my waxing journey.

Yes waxing is painful, but this seemed like the goal was to get me in and out in 10 minutes or less. It seemed like there was no consideration for my comfort. On top of that, I left every waxing with bruises (which can happen if you're not hydrated) but also burns and raw skin patches that took a long time to heal fully. Any complaints I made, I was told to purchase something from their extensive line of pre and post care ointments and products, and that the wax was kept at a regulated temperatures. I just think customer care wasn't prioritized and it wasn't a great experience.

I love the vibe of this salon - super bright, trendy, and conveniently located in the Village Gate Plaza. The website answers any and all questions about your cut, color, or wax in advance, with a demystifying FAQ page and a full before and after care list. My service was ~30 minutes long and I felt totally comfortable for the duration. Nitty Gritty goes out of their way to ensure their salon is an LGBTQ+ safe space - there's specific information on waxing if you're transitioning, an ask for pronouns at the time of registration, and a truly welcoming atmosphere for all. This alone will keep me coming back and supporting, but the fact that the service is so top notch is a nice added bonus. The reviews don't lie, Nitty Gritty is the best. Looking forward to my next visit and grateful to have this awesome shop in town!

I prefer this to threading and the appeal of setting an appointment ahead of time. The atmosphere is friendly. No complaints. All they do is brows hence the name! Update: they now do facial waxing etc. I slacked off for a bit on the brows but on a whim went back in today. I rarely wear make up and my instructions are generally "don't make me look surprised". And, that's what I get. Nice and simple. Note: the one time I tried to wax myself, I took off 1/2 an eyebrow. It was not pretty! So it's worth it to me to outsource this!

So yesterday, I decided to start looking up other salons. I read review after review and looked at so many pictures. I decided on Young Nails & Spa, and I'm so glad I did! I don't remember the name of the guy who did my nails and toes, but the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. My biggest gripe with my old salon was that my nails were never shaped evenly, and the polish around my cuticles always looked like a mess. I like my nails short and simple, but I still want them to look nice. I left beyond happy with the service I received. I will definitely be returning to Young Nails & Spa when it's time for a fill!

I've only gone waxing twice before but I never had any pain when I used to go, but this time it just felt like a world of pain. I usually have a high pain tolerance so I don't know if it was the wax they use, if she just wasn't as experienced (she was a new worker) or if I was just having an off day or something. On top of that there were spot of hair that she either missed or didn't do. The lady was nice and sweet and very comfortable to be around. It also only costed me around $74 with tip and tax. Was it the worst, no. Will I come back, probably not. Would I recommend this place, maybe. I think it's a good place to get a moderately priced waxing. Booking is easy and like I said staff was super sweet. But when it comes to the quality of the waxing I expected better.
