I am so disappointed with my bridal experience with this salon. My trial with Miranda Lewis was…read moreactually great. My hair was incredible and held ALL day. However, her behavior on my wedding day was completely unacceptable. Not only was she unprofessional, but three different people commented on how rude she was to them. One of my bridesmaids even refused to have her hair done by Miranda after interacting with her. My hair was falling out a few hours after it was done and hardly made it through my ceremony. Hands down the worst investment in my wedding was choosing to go with this salon, a supposedly reputable and "higher end salon."

I absolutely loved this place and 100% this is my go to for whenever I need a wax or skincare. My facial and their products absolutely saved my skin, I was horribly broken out with a ton of inflammation. I started using their in house cleanser and the BPO for overnight care and it's been my saving grace. This probably sounds like a fake review () but seriously I love this place!

I think they lost everything out for prices but it's hard to know which lash apt to book when your a beginner and don't know anything about lashes! She did a great job and they lasted about a week. I'm happy with the service, and they mailed a handwritten thank you which was nice also.

I visited Smokin' Aces last year to get a very special memorial tattoo as a 50th birthday gift to…read moremyself. I chose Melanie based on recommendations from friends and the work for them that I saw with my very own eyes, as opposed to merely looking at potentially doctored photos on social media. Smokin' Aces & Melanie turned out to be the perfect combination for me! Since this was going to be a permanent memorial in a prominent place, I was being VERY picky--and emotional! Melanie was very understanding and supportive and patient with me. She also gave several recommendations with respect to the natural aging of the tattoo, which I hadn't considered. I am a registered nurse, so I am incredibly critical of cleanliness and aseptic technique. Melanie impressed me with both. I looked around the shop as she worked and I noticed it wasn't just her...the entire place was immaculate. I loved the outcome of my tattoo and a year later, it is still as beautiful with no feathering or bleeding or fading of the ink. My experience with Melanie and Smokin' Aces could not have been better, and I'm already planning for them to do my next tattoo--onceI figure out what I want! On a separate note...I absolutely love that Smokin Aces employs not just Melanie, but several female tattoo artists, all of whom are exceptionally talented! I spoke with two other female artists that day while they worked and saw for myself the quality of their artistry as it was in progress. This profession is not an easy one for women to thrive in or for women to get respect--and the women at Smokin' Aces more than deserve it!

I have never been inside a real tattoo parlor before. I was blown away with how many types of tiger books there were. I happen to know someone who got their tattoo at this place. I fell in love with their tattoo ideas. So, I decided to come in to make an appointment for this tattoo that I wanted. I had the idea of a Koi fish and a dragon with the water in the background. But, this is what I ended up getting. But this isn't the finished look. The style of tattoo is very clean and I love everything about it.
