Had a fantastic experience with Tori at Omega Spa! She did a wonderful job of making me feel…read morecomfortable as I was a little hesitant to try this service since I have 4b/c naturally coily hair. The products used were very moisturizing. I liked the attention to detail and the scalp analysis. The scalp massage is the stuff that dreams are made of. Her hands were magic and I drifted off to sleep without even knowing. The heated table you lay on during your service also adds in to the comfort of your experience as well. The only thing I didn't like is due to the small space, it's a pretty open area so you can hear things going on around you which can take away from the serene environment they're trying to create. Overall, I will definitely return, it's one of the most relaxing things I've done in awhile.

Kalie provided the service and not only was she very kind and personable, she was quick and efficient. I have really fluttery eyelids so getting lash services are always a hit or miss; the only other time I got a lash lift the technician got the chemicals in my eyes and it was really unpleasant. Kalie was the complete opposite! I was very comfortable and didn't have any issues whatsoever. The lash lift and tint turned out beautifully and I left feeling beautiful and taken care of. Thanks Omega Beauty for providing a wonderful experience and a big thank you Kalie!

She nailed it, all with a broken leg....Thank you ladies!

She uses only the best MAC products and takes so much time to make it perfect. During the trial we tried a variety of looks, shades, and colors and the day of it looked great.

It's taken me two months to write this because I wasn't even sure how to communicate my experience…read morein words. Where do I even start? I loved my previous stylist but scheduling was tough so I was on the hunt for a new one. I'm pretty specific and I know what I like. Whenever I work with any type of artist I make sure I am completely obsessed with their work and have total confidence in their skill so I can fully trust them and let them do their work without worrying. Lexi is THAT gal! I spent the better part of a week scouting stylists and I knew she was it. So I go to AV Beauty and it is the cutest freaking thing! It's essentially one big room and it makes you instantly feel connected because the waiting area is right there in the action. (I'm an introvert and might be turned off by this somewhere else but it was awesome!) Lexi was so sweet from the first second - offered me a drink, caught the vision from my reference photos right away, and was super upfront about managing my expectations with what we could achieve in one session. (spoiler alert: she definitely under promised and over delivered). Ya'll, I have a LOT of THICK hair! Like, you have no idea. I typically spend a whole day at the salon and I was there for seven hours and my homegirl, Lexie, did not quit! She was amazing. She wants to make sure it's complete top quality and she's put her whole heart into it before you leave her chair. One of my favorite parts was that the other stylists and clients are all in the same space and it was basically one big hang out. Kinda the same charm as an old school barbershop where everyone chats together but with way more style. I left there feeling like I was one of the gang and it was my first time there! Lexi even offered to Doordash me lunch! My hair looks so bomb and the experience was out of the park. Highly recommend AV Beauty and Lexi!

My wedding day surely would not have been as beautiful as it was without the fabulous artists…read morebehind Brideface! From start to finish - Julie was friendly, progressional, and helpful. I had no issues initially booking for my date (about a year in advance) - and I was even able to make adjustments to my total number of attendees up until the final payment was due (about a month before the big day). We scheduled my hair/makeup trials in July - which seemed a bit far out from our November wedding day at first, but actually ended up being perfect! There's so much running around that happens within the month leading up to the big day, that it was nice to have this all taken care of well in advance. I worked with Alli for hair and Jasmine for makeup - and they were both absolutely incredible! Not only were they masters of their respective crafts - but they went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. It was also so nice to already have made a connection with both of them during the trials - because it made seeing them both the day of the wedding like re-connecting with an old friend. We ended up hiring an additional hairstylist/makeup artist for the day of the wedding as well - which I highly recommend if you have a larger wedding party/group of family getting ready. If we hadn't brought in the additional assistance - we would've had to begin getting ready much earlier. Instead - we were able to start around 11 a.m., and wrap up for photos at 2:30 p.m. For exceptional service, stellar communication, and competitive prices, I highly recommend booking with Brideface for your big day!!

First, I am incredibly particular about who touches my skin, so this was a big step for me. Well, I can't tell you how pleased I was. I tried the Glow & Go facial bar, particularly the Anti-Aging. It was amazing, so I booked my next appointment and invited a girlfriend to join me. So, if you're looking for a professional, relaxing, comfortable skincare boutique and luxury MedSpa, look no further than Jenny Simoon Face. I'm a regular and will continue to be! M. Johnson

Misogynists and holier-than-thou buzzkills beware, this is essentially a makeup post where I gush…read moreeffusively about a makeup brand. I do not wear a lot of makeup, mostly because as I've gotten older I have just gotten lazy. However, we Asian girls NEED our eyeliner, and I don't care what anyone says, ain't a woman alive who doesn't look better with a smidge of makeup on. So women who brag that they don't wear makeup - 'BYE FELICIA. Time and time again, MAC products demonstrate why they are superior to just about any of their competitors. I've been using their products since I was a college student - I chose to spend my spare pennies on Plushglass, not beer;) and I just love them. Specifically, MAC makes quality lip products and eye shadows. They smell wonderful, don't damage my skin, they aren't unreasonably priced, their staying power is unbeatable, the packing is tasteful but distinct, and their blendable, subtly multi-tonal colors are gorgeous. Although they aren't cheap products, I don't feel ripped off and the products last me A LOOOOOONG TIME. I think it's because I don't have to use a lot to build intensity, plus I I never have to touch-up because their stuff stays put without breaking out my skin. I betray my frugal, discount-loving side with my fondness for MAC. There are no discount cards or rewards points program. The loyalty program is kind of nonexistent (return 6 empty containers = 1 free lipstick) but I don't cry about it. What I do get 90% of the time is an actual skilled MUA who knows what s/he is talking about. I have always liked the company's nonchalantly rebellious stances on raising AIDS awareness funding and LGBT rights. And the makeup just plain kicks arse. Uh, yeah, so if you shop at one of the two MAC counters at Kenwood, they're both pretty good, and they both seem to run out of the same products at the same time. Nordstrom is definitely a bit sexier (Macy's, get a facelift alreadyyyyyy, you still look so Miracle on 34th Street-old school). But at Macy's I was helped by this fabulous girl named Ginie, she was a living, breathing doll and the EPITOME of customer service. She was sweet, helpful, patient, made excellent suggestions (I bought all three of her suggestions). And when the counter didn't have an item I wanted she first called Nordstrom's MAC counter to see if they had it in stock (they didn't, *sigh*), then she had it shipped to my house free of charge. So yes, Kenwood. Macy's. MAC. Entire paycheck. Ginie. Huggable in Rich Marron. You're welcome.

The shop - super cute and I don't even like the color pink. Lol The ladies - a vibe and they mesh SO well. I made an appointment with Baylee weeks prior for a wedding I was attending. There are many things I'm skilled at... make-up is something I have refused to see if I'm even skilled in. Mascara and lip gloss is all you will get out of me. Thank God ladies like the MUA's in this shop exist. Baylee approached you as if she was a friend that you've known for a while. Great conversation, gets an idea of the look you are going for, checks in with you throughout the process and lets her magic speak for itself. You won't be waiting around or staying around before/after your appt because the ladies are timely without rushing. I love love loved the finished product. Photographers from the wedding have the actual pictures that could showcase the work, but I'll attach how good it looked after an outdoor wedding where it rained, hours of dancing and restlessness. Recommended this shop to anyone who inquired about my look and I'll come to them anytime I'm in Cincinnati and need a look.

I discovered TMR salon through Instagram. I needed help covering my grays. Im glad I came here…read more From the minute I visited, I felt special. I was pampered from beginning to end. Rachel was my hair artist, but the whole team jumped in and helped with the color, washing my hair, etc. They took their time and talk to me on what I wanted done. Very patient and felt very comfortable. I appreciated the salon offering me a drink (tea, water, coffee, etc). I also got to meet the owner Tina Marie who was humble and down to earth. My visit was getting OMBRE BALAYAGE (color) and a haircut. Oh wow! What a great experience! I loved how my color and cut turned out! The warm tones complimented my skin tone. The cut was very chic! I purchased one of their oil products for my hair that they highly recommended. I was very satisfied that I already booked my next color appointment. FYI, they have a parking garage next to their salon which can be validated for $5.00 when you bring your ticket in. I am definitely telling my friends about this place. They are fairly new and opened last July but I already see their l clientele growing. I can see why. Thanks for making me feel so pretty. I can't wait to come back.
