as the one year anniversary comes up on my decision to get freckles I felt like I did my research…read moreand of course, Amber is lovely in all ways except, the outcome of the faux freckles was an absolute nightmare. It took me eight laser sessions to get them off over a year in time and space not to mention lots and lots of ridicule and questions over that year. I would highly NOT recommend anyone one get faux freckles from this person. If anybody would like to see pictures, I can certainly send them in a private message.

I called because of existing reviews. When Amber called back, she said, "why are you calling me?" I…read moreexplained and we scheduled an appointment. I am in a wheelchair and she's on the second floor, so we ended up entering from the alleyway. She arrived 20 minutes late. The first appointment went on on okay until it came to price. With tip it was $660 dollars. My friends who had their eyebrows done elsewhere, told me about $400 and that would cover the follow up (which is 5 weeks later). It took 2 texts and 3 phone calls to make the second one. That ended up being an additional $75 dollars. If I ever need another, it won't be with Amber.

I can not believe I am just writing this review. I started going to metro the spa over 15 years ago…read morefor massages. I consider massages a part of my health. And now go twice a month Through out the last 15 years I have had times where due to my family giving me a gift card or because of heavy financial constraint I have seen other massage therapist. Every time with other massage therapist I have been disappointed. I have never had massage outside Metro the spa that is as good as RC. There has been a few time when due to my schedule I had another massage therapist besides RC at Metro and they have all been amazing as well. He works hard to hire qualified individuals! Specifically about RC and how he gives a massage. He listens, before each massage he asks how are you feeling and will adjust the massage based on what is bothering you. You DO NOT get a cookie cutter massage. Also I have to rave about that fact that I have been getting a deep tissue massage and it is done in such a way I am still relaxed and can get my "massage drunk". His skill, knowldge of the muscles and flow of the massage are superior. Another huge bonus to going to Metro is when you get an hour massage, you get the full hour. All other places I have been to give a 5 minute undress and 5 minute dress time. Which means your massage is 50 minutes max. And those places generally would always short you even more time. Most of the times I had massage at Massage Lux and it was about 40 mins from hands on to hands off so they could turn the room over quicker. You will not get shorted at Metro. I will add that because you get your full time sometimes they run a little behind. So do not be in a hurry or have any plans after your massage. As for pricing. Their prices are comparable if not lower than any other place I have gone too. And the service is top quality. Highly recommend Metro the Spa and RC!!

5/5 -- Aquarius Wellness is a Gem…read more My partner and I booked a couples massage at Aquarius Wellness, and it was easily one of the best spa experiences we've ever had. From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the atmosphere--the interior is beautiful, calming, and thoughtfully designed. The lighting alone is worth paying for. It's soft, warm, and sets the mood perfectly. Honestly, I'd pay just to sit in that room and unwind. As for the massage therapists--incredible. Both of them were professional, attentive, and genuinely gifted at what they do. They checked in about pressure, focused exactly where we needed, and worked in perfect sync for the couples session. My partner and I walked out feeling lighter, looser, and more relaxed than we've felt in a long time. If you're looking for a place that combines quality, ambiance, and true skill, Aquarius Wellness is the spot. Highly recommend!

I love the one price that includes their multi step facial process as well as the tip for your aesthetician! It makes booking and coming in for this service very easy. Also, the location in Saint Charles is very convenient having plenty of parking outside and easy access to the building. My aesthetician Allante is amazing! She was very helpful throughout the process of the facial educating me on every step and product being used. It was very relaxing and a good time to just do some self-care. At the end of my service she sent me home with two products and sent some recommendations to support my overall skin health and appearance. I look forward to coming back!

It was my first time getting a lash lift. I've gotten a tint before (they didn't offer lifts where…read moreI went) so I had an idea of how this appointment would go. I did have an early appointment and since having never been here before I arrived early so I wouldn't be late. They did open their doors a little early before they actually opened. I didn't want to be that customer/client who tries to get in early so I just waited lol The woman at the front desk was super nice and helped me check in and let me know that Katie would just be a moment while she prepped her station for me. I had been up since 5am and really didn't want to fall asleep because I wanted to know what the process was and what was being done. Small chit chat didn't keep my attention so I did almost fall asleep. The service was fine? I guess? My lashes on the left eye like didn't take? Not sure if it was because of how it was done or the product that was used? The right eye seemed to work fine. I thought maybe I just needed to put on mascara to really see the difference. I followed after care instructions to a tee! Didn't touch, didn't put on make up for over 24 hours, didn't have them touch water, didn't sleep on my face... The next day my left lashes were pretty much flat compared to my right eye. Ugh. I did get a follow up call to see how my lashes were doing but I was at my bridal shower so there was no way I was gonna stop partying to take that call. I did follow up with them that Monday about how they turned out. They said I could come in so they could fix it for me. I thought, oh wow awesome! They asked for a time that would be best. I said it would be cutting it close for 3:45pm since I get off work at 3:30pm but they said they'd still take me if I got there no later than 3:48pm or something. So they put me on the book for a lash lift fix and I get the email to confirm. So that day I was scheduled, I HAUL ASS because I know time is money, only to be told that they wouldn't be able to do anything. What. Why have me drive out there to tell me that? This could've been a phone call. I get they need to see the lashes but... this could've been communicated to me beforehand. I felt like it was such a waste of my time and money. And then I was told I could come back in the recommended 4 weeks, but I'd still have to pay the same amount... lol why would I pay for a service that didn't work the first time? They offered to comp $20 but that was after I asked. It's just shocking they don't stand by their product. I have gotten my hair done at multiple places (I've moved around a lot), nails done at multiple locations and they offer to fix that service and comp it (if there's anything wrong, which is rare but at least it's offered) And those services are much more expensive than a $70 lash lift. It was really shocking. Take what you will from this review, but I will not be coming back.

You call and they are more than happy to get you on the schedule. There's ample room to wait once you get there, and everyone was so nice. Both ladies who did my hair (I'm terrible with names) did a fantastic job. My hair is super curly, and even the most experienced people struggle with it. Both services were done well with care. It wasn't just a run to the finish line. They actually cared about doing a good job. Both services were priced EXTREMELY well. I'm used to paying about $300+ for the keratin treatment that lasts a while. This was well below $200! I'm so impressed with everything that I have every intention of trying basically everything on the menu. Next: facials!

Cordy was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to explain what my skin needed, checked in throughout the service, and made the whole experience relaxing instead of intimidating. You can tell she truly cares about skincare and about her clients, even while she's still in school. On top of the incredible facial, she gave me a back massage that genuinely rivaled my professional massage therapist and even included reflexology, which was amazing. I work at Amazon and do a lot of repetitive motions, and I could immediately feel the difference. It relieved so much tension and made the experience feel next level, not just a student service. My skin has never looked this healthy. The glow was real, the texture was smoother, and I got compliments almost immediately after. If you're considering an esthetician service here, book with Cordy. Your face and your body will thank you. I will absolutely be back.
