I got a great shape and didn't think it hurt too much. I didn't love the chin...my skin was a little too sensitive there for some reason. It wasn't horrible, but I'd probably do waxing next time for that. Then i did sugaring for my legs and brazilian. It hurts a little but not much. Definitely doesn't hurt as much as waxing.

I made an appointment about 1.5 hours prior to arriving and was greeted by someone as I signed in through the self check in tablet. I was immediately assisted by Lydia. Lydia immediately put me at ease. She has over 30 years of experience and it shows. Her natural way of conversing while keeping you comfortable should be studied! She is very knowledgeable, loving, and friendly. I will surely come back, if just to see her. I'm very happy with my brows as well.

I can't say enough great things about Ritual by Tracy Holzman NP-C. Tracy is incredibly…read moreknowledgeable and professional, and you can really tell how experienced she is as a medical provider. She takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, and her understanding of anatomy and facial structure makes you feel completely confident in her care and recommendations. What I appreciate most is that she truly cares about her patients and clients and never makes you feel rushed. She provides honest counseling and guidance for every service, and you can tell she genuinely wants the best results for you. I've had multiple treatments done, from skin tightening to other skincare services, and I've loved every experience. Viktorija is wonderful as well -- an integral member of the team. Ritual's skincare line is amazing, and I'm especially obsessed with the SPF Tracy developed called Throwing Shade. It feels incredible on the skin and has become a daily staple for me. Highly recommend Ritual by Tracy Holzman NP-C if you're looking for someone skilled at helping you look and feel your best, trustworthy, and truly passionate about what they do. Thank you so much to her team!

I'm in the midst of finding my new "home" for skin and beauty needs, after an esthetician that I…read moreloved moved out of the area. So after reading the reviews for Ritual and following them on social for a few months, I decided to book at appointment for a peel with Victoria. The business suite is located within a much bigger building and upon getting off the elevator on the 8th floor, it was clear to me that many of the surrounding suites include other medical professionals. Upon entry, you'll notice the clinic is pristine and elegant, while also feeling warm and welcoming. Cayla, the patient coordinator at the check-in desk was bubbly and genuine - as a first time visitor, that initial impression means a lot. No pretense, no standoffishness - just a desire to help you to get settled in. I was then taken to the waiting area which was also clean and comfortable, with a few refreshments that are available for guests. Luckily for me, I was only in there for a few minutes before Victoria came to get me. We took a few pics and then headed into the room for my appointment. The room felt very much like a room you may be in for a doctor's appointment - very sterile, bright lights - which of course is a good sign. I then chatted with Victoria about my concerns and needs. She was a great listener as well as a proactive communicator, always educating me as she made suggestions or talked with me about options. It's evident that her top concern is the patient's health and well-being first and foremost, which then guides her recommendations. With the additional knowledge and context she provides, it's impossible not to feel well taken care of, in the hands of a responsible and professional provider. I was also very appreciative of her care and awareness of what treatments would be best for my type of skin, educating me about the Fitzpatrick scale (which I had taken time to educate myself briefly about on my own, but had never had a provider articulate with such mindfulness.) She also was able to balance that professionalism with warmth - which is a rare combination to find. Her ability to make you feel comfortable seems to come naturally and really makes the whole experience not only impactful but enjoyable. It's also evident that she carries a wealth of knowledge and is confident about that (without being condescending.) Overall, very impressed with the business and grateful for Victoria's care. Will definitely be returning in the near future to explore other treatments that will be good investments in my overall skin health and integrity.

I've been going to this location for 3 years now. Specifically, I've been seeing Kamira for 3 years…read moreand she's the BEST- quick, clean with the wax, efficient, and so much fun to get to know. This location is very consistent, and I've found that every time I need a body wax and Kamira isn't available, I've always had good waxer who knows what they're doing and is nice to chat with. The ladies at the front desk are super nice and helpful too. Granted, I don't wax anything on my face anymore due to tretinoin usage- if you are going to wax your face, I suggest finding a waxer you like to do body first and then do face the next time. Your waxer gets to know you and what you like, hence why Kamira was always amazing pre-tret usage and knew that I only like a cleanup of my brows.

I booked a simple eyebrow wax and left with visibly asymmetrical brows, one noticeably thinner and…read morehigher-arched than the other. The service took barely five minutes, with no consultation beforehand about shape or how much to remove, and no mirror check afterward before I was sent to pay. Basic quality control that any waxing service should provide. When I pointed out the unevenness, the response was dismissive. I was told it would "grow back" rather than offered any correction or acknowledgment of the error. The staff seemed far more invested in pitching a membership at checkout than in the actual service I'd just received. I don't expect perfection, but I do expect basic competence and accountability for a paid service. Neither was present here. I won't be returning, and I'd think carefully before trusting this location with anything more precise than a straightforward wax.

Quick job of filing, barely a massage and no polish. She suggested that since I was not using nail polish she buff the nails for some shine, I agreed. I was there for merely 20 minutes and the cost was $48. When I questioned this, she said a buff was extra. I suggested it was in lieu of polish which is much more time consuming. At the same time a lady came in and simply asked for a file, did not even sit down, just had nail file over her nails and she was charged 10 for 10 seconds. People are starting to object to escalated prices for less service. And I agree I am not going to pay more and receive less, it is not the correct way to conduct business.
