My service was $14 not including tip! I would come again once in a while, may be when I have another eyebrow emergency and my wallet agrees!

I visited this place for a Brazilian waxing because I found an amazing deal on Groupon. The owner…read morementioned that she is no longer receiving Groupon vouchers but was nice enough to still let me pay for the same amount in cash. SO MAKE SURE YOU CHECK WITH HER IF YOU GOT THE GROUPON DEAL AS WELL! (It was pretty easy to get a refund from Groupon) She was really nice and made me feel less awkward by keeping conversation going during the waxing process. However, she wasn't wearing any mask during COVID and the skirt robe she provided me seemed a little dirty so the cleanliness was a bit questionable although it might have been just stains. (Hence, -1 star) Overall, it was a good experience and I'd visit again!

Sugaring can be intimidating if you're new, but Rekeda has such a calming presence and knows exactly how to put you at ease. I always leave feeling smooth, confident, and taken care of.

It's clear that Rekeda genuinely cares about her clients and takes pride in her work, and it absolutely shows. If you're looking for expert sugaring, great energy, and someone you can trust with your body, this is the place.

I have always been extra sensitive when it came to physical touch. I could never get a massage because I was too ticklish and the feeling of knots on my body made me cringe! A few years ago,  I booked a massage with @skinbybrittany__ . She knew my situation and let me know that if at any point I started to feel uncomfortable,  we could stop.   She was the most gentle and most professional massage therapist I have ever encountered!   She literally took away my fear of massages (crazy enough, it really was a fear of mine). My body is thanking me right now, after my AMAZING massage with Brittany today.   I'm telling you... book your appointment with her now!  You won't regret it!   She's also responsible for my amazing skin!  She gives the best facials and I am loving my new skin care routine! Thank you so much, @skinbybrittany__

My fave place to go for my lashes and my hair!! Maya has been doing my lashes since early 2022. I…read morehad only gotten my lashes done a few times before that but didn't have the best experience so I stopped with the lashes. Maya has done an exceptional job with my lashes, including educating me on the aftercare and providing products to elongate the life of the lashes as well as keeping my natural lashes healthy. I would recommend Maya to anyone and everyone. She's so patient, has really helped me understand the lash cycle and has always answered all my questions. I've been seeing Sarah for my hair since 2022 and wowwww. It makes a huge difference when you go to someone who understands hair the way Sarah does. She is so talented and I'm literally always left in awe of my hair. We did toning before while I was growing out some bad coloring from previous stylist and now just my regular haircuts. I'm so particular when it comes to my beauty services and she always does me right. I appreciate her knowledge and suggestions on the cutting, including face framing and understanding what looks best. I only buy my hair products from there now as well, I love Davines. I feel super thankful to have met Sarah and Maya, they are a staple for me in my self care and even better that they are a locally owned Mother-Daughter business. 10/10 recommend.

Did not make an appt--just walked in and was seated asap. Got my brows and upper lip threaded then my underarms waxed. Quick yet very thorough. The salon is clean and spartan. No frills. No employees or contracted staff that I could see. Appreciated the owner is able to thread but not with her mouth. She is also masked. Also when I was getting waxed I was ushered into a room with a table to lie down on that was covered with disposable paper. Got my biz done and was out the door with even eyebrows that were not thin and no 'stache Now that I know the biz is still around, I'll be back! Support this small local biz, please.

They do waxing (all the kinds) but I am not into that (it hurts!). I have been going here for years for threading and credit them for keeping me looking as close to a Bollywood star as a a Japanese American woman will ever get. Put it this way, my very discerning stepmother thought they made me look more youthful and beautiful. That's it, I'm not going anywhere else!! Parking is easy and the wait isn't long. You will love the results!
