Most lashes are too heavy, droopy, or just too weird looking on me. McKell fixed all of this, and that is talent. She used wispy lashes to create a fanned look to achieve exactly what I wanted... which wasn't easy. I wanted dramatic, but not. Bold, but not. Natural, but not. Cat eye, but not too much cat eye. Somehow in all of that she just got it and gave me exactly what I wanted and needed. Give up a little control and let her help you fix your face! She's super sweet, the music is good, and the table is comfortable enough for a little 2 hour nap!

I've had two sessions so far here with Averie for laser tattoo removal, who is kind and easy to…read moretalk to. But my most recent visit left me hesitant to recommend this place. At my first appointment, we confirmed my two small tattoos directly next to one another would be classified and priced as a single "small" session at $200, and my next visit was rebooked at that same classification with the front desk while Averie was present. During my second session, the treatment went ahead as normal and Averie and I chatted throughout the treatment for ~30 minutes with no mention of any price change. Only after it was complete did the front desk tell me I'd be charged for a "medium" instead, bringing the total to $300. When I pushed back, the explanation I got from Averie felt jumbled and inconsistent. I paid the difference anyway because I'd already received the treatment and didn't feel I had a real choice. Deciding pricing after a service is done, when the client has no ability to say no, isn't something I can overlook, especially with a licensed provider where trust matters. I'm not sure if I'll be booking future sessions here. EDIT: The owner has reached out to rectify the situation, so I'll adjust the stars rating but leaving this up in case there are others who run into this same issue for transparency.

I can only speak personally to the permanent eyeliner services performed by Angela…read more She is incredibly thorough, careful, and meticulous about her work. She takes the time to explain everything, makes sure you're comfortable throughout the entire process, and never makes you feel rushed. When someone is working that close to your eyes and doing something permanent- that level of attention and care matters! The studio itself is beautiful, welcoming, and clearly very professionally run. They offer a wide range of services, including microneedling, laser treatments, tattoo removal, and more, and the entire space has a polished, high-end feel without being intimidating. Angela's treatment room is lovely and comfortable, and she has a way of making the whole experience feel relaxed while still being extremely precise and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to trust her again. If you're considering permanent eyeliner and want someone who genuinely takes her time and cares about getting it right, I highly recommend Angela.

Update: The owner, Britney, personally reached out to me to apologize for the situation and offered…read moreseveral resolutions. By the end of the call, we were able to resolve the matter fairly (in my opinion, at least). I really appreciate her willingness to see the situation from my perspective and her taking accountability for the misleading wording on the website. I'm now taking back my comment about the spa being "shady," since it has become clear that this was an honest mistake. However, I still stand by my concern that the membership terms and wording should have been much clearer from the beginning. I'm glad Balm took my concerns seriously and made an effort to make things right. I hope the website will be updated soon to provide more clarity, so issues like this can be avoided in the future. I had 2 laser hair removal treatments here. While the service was nothing to write home about, the way this business handles its memberships is incompetent at best and shady at worst. I signed up for their LARGE LASER MEMBERSHIP, which is advertised on their website as having the benefits of "Any 1 Extra-Large Laser" and "Any 2 Large Laser" each month, with savings of $304/month and a retail value of $603 (screenshot below). Maybe I'm delusional, please let me know, but how is anyone supposed to interpret that wording as anything other than 1 extra large + 2 large services included? Even their own membership portal shows 3 separate coupons for these 3 services. I had my extra large laser with no issue, but when I came back for the 2 large services, the tech told me I actually had to choose between the extra large and 2 large services (?). I ended up having to cancel my appointment and go home. Their manager reached out via text and basically admitted that the wording on the website AND the membership portal is misleading, and that I actually did have to choose between the 2 options. I asked for a refund because I wouldn't have purchased the membership had the terms been clearly stated. Of course, they refused. At this point, I've given up on trying to get a refund. I don't have the time or energy to keep going back and forth with these people. I'm posting this as a PSA for anyone considering signing up for any of their laser memberships: ask a lot of questions before giving them your money.

I've had eyelash extensions done several times by a few different people. Jaime at Fluttery Lash…read moreDesign is unequivocally the best. Let me break it down for you... The studio. It's clean and comfortable. Both of which are deal breakers for me. Jamie goes above and beyond comfort by providing a blanket and keeps the room temp to whatever feels best for the client. Quality of material & technique It's clear that Jamie takes a lot of pride in the type of lashes, glue, etc she uses to make sure you look and feel amazing and that your natural lashes are well cared for. Jamie has a very gentle hand in how she applies lash extensions. You could totally fall asleep during a session, if that's what you're feeling. Also, Jamie is one of those people that can connect with just about anyone. She's down to earth and genuinely cares about people. First time I was there I felt like I'd made a new friend. When you spend a couple hours every few weeks with a person, that matters. Overall, I've always been 100% satisfied with my eyelash extensions done by Jamie. If you're looking for high quality lashes, Jamie is your girl.

I'm SO glad I came to see Jaime! I've had her booked marked on my yelp for quite sometime because…read moreher pictures are what I wanted! I don't know why I didn't come sooner and just do a full set with her! After my last fill with another salon I decided not to go back and get my fill done with Jaime instead and so happy I picked her! I know my lashes aren't as thick so they can't be exactly what I want but she did it! They're fluffy and have random long ones which I like! I'm so picky and so over going to someone new every time but I think that has come to an end, finally! Literally one thing will keep me from going back to someone, but there isn't one bad thing I can really say about her work! Good: she's gentle can barely feel anything, bed is the comfiest I've laid on, takes her time, asks what you like , gives you a awesome goody bag, teaches you how to clean lashes, brushes them throughly often throughout the process, eyes didn't burn, eyes didn't feel teary, no lashes stuck to the bottom, she did my bottom lashes for free!! Bad: parking!! Ugh that sucked! I came almost 20 minutes early and was 4 minutes late! So make sure to arrive early to find a spot! I didn't think it would be that busy since I had a 10am appointment but I was wrong! But that's not her fault obviously she's fabulous at what she does! I think I found my new lash artist! Thank you Jaime!!! I love my lashes!!!!!!!!!! X3
