I also booked with Telma because my normal wax lady did not have the availability I wanted and I refuse to go to EWC!! My first interaction of texting with Telma was bit of a red flag. She did ask for me to come earlier, but I guess since I didn't reply fast enough, that she had booked another client w/in 15 minutes of waiting for my response. When I got there for my appointment she was not there and I had to wait for her to come into the building. Once she got inside she had to prep then I got on the table and the waxing started. I was already kind of taken back by the fact that she was using the kind of wax that requires the paper strips. I am a regular wax / sugaring client so I know the pain the comes with it, but this pain was so much more intense. Once the waxing was finished and I had gotten into my car, I instantly was uncomfortable. When I used the restroom it burned just to wipe, I had my husband look down there and there was multiple pink / red spots from my skin being ripped. I am having to constantly put neosporin on those areas and be super gentle with it. I recommend doing your research before coming and maybe don't book a Brazilian here.

My hair had been completely burnt and was multiple colors. Given the fragile state of my hair, we decided to just color it back to the natural color and let it fully grow out overtime. I have been going to her ever since including following her to this new location. She is the only person who I trust to cut and highlight my hair that suits me. Some hairdressers have a tendency to do the same style across multiple people and that doesn't work. She knows exactly how to highlight my hair, touchup, and cut to frame my face perfectly. I am constantly receiving compliments on the healthiness of my hair and style, and a big part of that is because of the way she tends to hair so precisely. Can't recommend her enough.

Getting a haircut seemed like a fun a productive way to spend my free time. I know nothing about the area, but I stumbled upon Sole's yelp page and it said that they were offering $20 off to book with Chelsea. I called and without asking, was told the Chelsea was one of the two stylists available during the date and time I requested. Perfect! Guy, who answered the phone was friendly and accommodating and asked a lot of questions about what I wanted to ensure I would have a good experience. It made me feel like they were very professional, and he really talked Chelsea up, saying she was super experienced, but just new to this particular salon, hence the yelp promo. He also gave clear parking instructions on the phone, which I appreciated. The atmosphere was really clean and welcoming, they immediately offered me water or tea. Chelsea was great. I wasn't particular about what exactly I wanted, but she listened and made suggestions and I totally trust her judgement. She was really calculated and took her time with me. I am sure I was her last appointment of the day, but I didn't feel rushed at all. She genuinely wanted to do a great job and I looked and felt great at the end of it. Like I said, I don't live in the area and I only get my hair cut once every two years, but I would still highly recommend this place and Chelsea. So if you do live in the area and need a haircut, give her a try.

I recently had a facial by Alyssa and I must say that it was an absolutely fantastic experience. From start to finish, everything was top-notch and beyond my expectations. Firstly, the atmosphere of the esthetician's office was incredibly relaxing and comfortable. As soon as I stepped inside, I was welcomed by Rachel. She was very friendly. Alyssa was extremely friendly and professional, which only added to the overall positive experience. During the facial, the Alyssa demonstrated an incredibly deft touch and excellent knowledge of her craft. She applied the products with a gentle yet firm touch, and I could tell she was well-versed in the best techniques for my skin type. And the results were simply amazing. My skin looked and felt revitalized, smooth and glowing. Throughout the entire facial, Alyssa took great care to ensure that I was comfortable and relaxed. She was attentive to my needs, answered all of my questions, and made me feel completely at ease. It was such a wonderful experience that I felt like I was receiving not just a facial, but a full spa day experience. Overall, I would highly recommend Alyssa and her services to anyone looking for a professional facial. She is incredibly skilled at what she does, and her friendly and welcoming approach made the entire experience an absolute pleasure. It was truly a rejuvenating experience and I left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and confident in my skin. I'm definitely coming back. Thanks Alyssa and the Elite Facials team. read more
