Skintopia is a haven for all those who are weary/hairy/dry-skinned...WHATEVER you need, my girl Christina will hook you up. Facials, waxes, eyelashes, makeup, she does it all! I literally drive from Syracuse to Rochester every 8 weeks because I trust no one else with my Brazilian! 2 times in my life I went elsewhere and let me tell you, I'll make the drive to Skintopia now. Make an appointment, stop by, relax to the music, soft beds, heated towels, wonderful service, delicious complementary tea, and great company. You'll be hooked!!

I had Amy and Dylan and I showed them a picture of what I liked and they delivered and made it 10x better. I am so happy with the results, I can not say enough good things about the salon and Amy and Dylan. They were so nice and professional and the salon was very calm, clean, and relaxing. I will for sure be coming back again whenever I have a big event and will recommend anyone there. Thank you so much for making me look and feel beautiful. I greatly appreciate it! -Kaitlin

This is still not over somehow. The salon owner has contacted me stating she is pursuing legal…read moreaction because she is not represented by the independent contractors that rent the chairs. Michelle texted me this long thing saying I was blackmailing her (don't think she understands what blackmail is) and the cops have contacted us, I don't even know what the charge could possibly be, unless they have created a new law I didn't know about before. Just stating that I stand by my experience of this salon having creepy vibes and that the hairdresser showed up late and tried to take as much of my money as possible and then tried to get it back when I got it refunded correctly the first time. Lol. Please refund me for the haircut and I'll take this down, I'll say a prayer in Jolie's name, anything, don't care. please just release me from this loop. I want to forget I ever went here. -- One more update as the salon hs threatened us with legal action because of a yelp review... I am happy to amend this review if I felt like the salon wanted to refund me for the charges I did not consent to. But really threatening legal action over a bad yelp review seems a bit extreme to me. I really am pursuing a partial refund for services I was charged for unknowingly and the tip. When I asked for a refund on those charges she offered to give me a bottle of shampoo. I am not even requesting a full refund. I feel that is more than fair and the stress that this has caused is just crazy. Again, I am happy to take it all down if we could just get the refund and then i will never come back and bother anyone again. But please refund me for the things I did not ask for, hair shimmer, balayage when it was really highlights, the additional add ins, and the tip. Leaving 200 for the hairdresser. Please I'd like this to be over. I will just delete the whole thing I don't even care. I still like the color. - Just updating because dealing with getting the charges reversed for the services I didn't request has been hell.... the bangs are looking good since I had another girl cut them. Color has held up alright. I'd go to a girl besides Michelle if I went back here, but seems kinda sketchy they can just add on hundreds of dollars without asking. I appreciate the owner reaching out but what would really help would be asking Michelle to inform clients ahead of time when adding in services and products and also to arrive on time

So...I've driven by many times and finally got the opportunity to come. I made an appointment with…read moreNick as I've known him what seems forever. (He's the first person I met when visiting Rochester almost six years ago. He's come full circle coming back to this area. He's an excellent stylist and colorist. This place is lovely, the color scheme is shades of gray and it's kind of sleek. I got a tour and saw the treatment rooms for facials and massage (the massage therapist I hear works at Strong as a medical massage therapist so she knows her stuff) the facialist has been doing her trade for about 30 years so she knows her stuff. You make an appointment so she can determine what is needed to give you your very best facial. I think this is an excellent idea as most people when the come for a facial of course fill out a form but you really don't go over things until you are on the table so to speak. Due to Covid you will be asked to fill out a simple form and your temperature taken. Everything is disinfected including the chair and sink where your hair is washed. You can get manicures and pedicures. Also from what I read they do eye brows, waxing an spray tanning. It's a great little place with a lovely staff. You are warmly greeted and even though it's different with Covid it's still a pleasant experience. I need to try a facial. Prices are fair.. any questions contact them they are very helpful. Plenty of parking.

I informed her that I did not call and cancel my appointment on the stated date or any date for that matter. I also informed her I drove an hour to get to this appointment, she proceeded to tell me I must have forgotten I canceled it and they could not see me. I could wait in the waiting room and they would squeeze me in when they could but no estimate on how long I would have to wait. She did not apologize once and stated "I have kids I have no patience for this kind of thing". I then asked to speak to a manager who was unavailable so I asked if she could call me when she had time, it's been 4 months now she still hasn't called me. I then called cooperate who assured me they did not have an incoming call from my number on said date. I asked someone from cooperate management to call me I was assured someone would call me, again it's been 4 months and still nothing. This was the Rochester location. I have been to this location several times before this with no issues but this was very disheartening. Very sloppy business practice, not customer focused. Would not recommend!!

I love the vibe of this salon - super bright, trendy, and conveniently located in the Village Gate Plaza. The website answers any and all questions about your cut, color, or wax in advance, with a demystifying FAQ page and a full before and after care list. My service was ~30 minutes long and I felt totally comfortable for the duration. Nitty Gritty goes out of their way to ensure their salon is an LGBTQ+ safe space - there's specific information on waxing if you're transitioning, an ask for pronouns at the time of registration, and a truly welcoming atmosphere for all. This alone will keep me coming back and supporting, but the fact that the service is so top notch is a nice added bonus. The reviews don't lie, Nitty Gritty is the best. Looking forward to my next visit and grateful to have this awesome shop in town!

I have been coming here for years. I have always had amazing service! The staff is AMAZING!…read more Today, I met with Mallory! She was so sweet and nice! My facial was amazing. Very relaxing. Just what I needed. I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. As a result. I cannot get any injections, chemical peels, or anything that is not hydrating or natural, while in chemo. Which was a devastating blow to my confidence. I assumed that meant, I would look 10 years older, in a year. Also the chemo is making my face break out. Talk about a huge whammy! Mallory did a wonderful hydrating facial, with Papaya enzymes and lipids. My skin feels and looks amazing! This is now part of my regular rotation. Nothing zaps collagen from your face than chemo. I plan on living through this and fighting hard. But whether I end up in a coffin or continuing to live my best life. I still want to feel pretty. I have a membership through this business and it has been so worth it. Today my service was free. Just because they wanted me to feel pampered. Not only was it a sweet gesture, but smart business. Because now I've tried a new treatment, that I plan on doing on a regular basis. I have not had any injections in about 9 months. I put a picture of myself, so you can see how amazing they keep looking. Without any toxins, chemicals, or injections. This pic was taken after my treatment. No make up, filter free. I'm 55 years old. Still feeling confident, with breast cancer.
