With full on humility I share this: my skin has been complimented dozens of times - by ladies, by dudes, by dudes who look like ladies, family, friends, frenemies, total strangers, etc. - I consider myself very fortunate to be the recipient of supple skin. Moving right along...I hit the big three-OHHH a few months ago. Total believer that prevention is the best medicine I decided I needed to step up my skincare regime if I want to continue to age well. Enter Bamboo & Silk Esthetique. This boutique spa offers skincare treatments (facials and peels), hair removal services (waxing, threading, and sugaring), and top notch products (Sircuit Skin and PCA Skin brands) to aid in taking care of your skin at home between visiting Bamboo & Silk Esthetique. I go to Bamboo & Silk every 4-6 weeks for a facial. I've had 3 different ones and every single time leave feeling and (face) looking like a million dollars. Prior to opening Bamboo & Silk she was the #1 esthetician at a very posh, very well-known salon/spa in town and you can feel the 10+ years of experience every step of the way. From the moment I walk in I feel at ease, relaxed, and completely confident I'm in for a treat. She does a pre and post consult/discussion to pinpoint any specific areas of concern you may have and how to effectively treat said issues, if any. Sugaring. Very similar to waxing but in lieu of sticky and messy wax that can leave those w sensitive or very fair skin red afterwards this method of hair removal uses an all-natural room temperature paste made of sugar, lemon, honey, and maybe 1 or 2 other ingredients. I've been sugared 10+ times here and am still fascinated by the "goo" being manipulated by the esthetician's hands through her gloves. She applies the paste over area to be sugared, puts pressure on it, and gently peels it off like silly putty. It does not hurt, does not sting, does not echo the scene in "40 Year Old Virgin" in which Steve Carell maligns Kelly Clarkson's name. Scheduling appointments is a breeze thanks to the Facebook page and Spa Booker site. Email confirmation of appointment, receipt, and reminder of next appointment all promptly sent. Try it out for yourself or gift someone you care about to a visit. Referral discounts applicable and no, you don't need to mention me specifically when you make your first appointment (^_^) read more

Today I was a first timer with Debbie as I scheduled a brazilian sugar wax and baby doll eyelash service. I had previously visited another boutique; however, she left the state and I was worried that I would not find someone as good as my former professional, but was extremely satisfied and pleasantly surprised during and after my visit. Debbie is a real professional. She knows what she's doing and is very personable. I'm scratching my head wondering why there aren't more reviews. Scheduling my 2nd appointment now. PS-VERY convenient. read more

Debbie. Is. Awesome. Let me just preface this review with saying... this was my first wax... of any kind... besides my eyebrows... ever. When I arrived at Esthetique this morning and met Debbie she was super friendly and calming. She told me that the absolute worst part of the process was the anticipation and build up, that yes it would be uncomfortable, but that it really isn't as bad as everyone thinks. She instructed me to undress from the waist down, and she left the room - knocking a few minutes later after I'd had time to get situated on her table. She said she'd walk me through the whole process, and even offered to hold my hand if need be! Offering up some pointers on spots that are a little more sensitive than others, as well as spots that you won't even notice, she starts! Within about 35 minutes or so, she was all done. We had chatted the whole time, and not just awkward "she's looking at my hoo-hah" small talk, but Debbie seems to have a genuine interest in her clients. I will absolutely go back in the next 4-6 weeks. Debbie was so nice, and as gentle as you can possibly be during this particular appointment. I also learned while I was there that she does facials, and skin care appointments as well! 1 Brazilian wax down, many more to come - always with Debbie at Esthetique! read more

Deborah was amazing! I regularly get Brazilians and wanted to try sugaring. She is professional and so easy to talk too during such a personal thing being done....also she is FAST. For those of you who have gotten Brazilians before you know this is key. If you have never gotten a Brazilian I highly recommend seeing Deborah for one. My mom got a bikini sugaring from her and also gave a big thumbs up! Way less painful then traditional waxing. Also her pricing is spot on too... $80 for sugaring is not bad. And let me tell you if you think that's expensive go and get a $40 wax somewhere else and see how your who-ha feels afterwards... Thanks Deborah! You're amazing! Ps... She also sells Jane iredale makeup your skin will thank you later read more

I first found Debbie about a year ago when my face decided to debut full on adult acne. I was nervous to let anyone see my face up close, let alone diagnose the probable cause. Within the first five minutes of meeting me, Debbie was able to pin point what the systemic problem was. The facial was beyond amazing. I didn't know my face could be so clean! I have continued to receive facials from Deborah that are not only invigorating, but also deeply relaxing. Her sweet and positive sprit make the whole experience a treat! Her products are also top notch. i used a three step process that helped restore balance and moisture to my skin. Over the past year, Debbie has been an excellent source of information and a compassionate ally in helping my skin. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is seeking an above average spa treatment! read more

I had a great first experience with arm hair removal at Esthetique! Tracie recommenced sugaring since I was concerned about any potential flare up before the big day. I was so nervous, but once we started- omg! It was not bad AT ALL! Tracie did an amazing job and I will definitely be back. My arms are so smooth and my skin reacted really well to the sugaring, especially considering that I have sensitive skin. If you are considering it- go! read more

All I can say is Debbie was fabulous! Considering the fact that I was having probably the most uncomfortable type of waxing possible, she really put me at ease, very professional and all around awesome chick! In comparison to my last Brazilian (which was some time ago) a lot less painful as well! The salon itself, very cool vibe. I'll definitely be back! read more

I'm Brazilian and recently moved to Charlotte. I was very afraid not to find a good Brazilian wax service here and Tracy was a very good surprise, she did a really great job and I liked the place a lot, very relaxing atmosphere. I'll definitely be back! read more

Bamboo & Silk Esthetique is one of a kind. Deborah is so welcoming, knowledgable and professional. I have had many facials in my lifetime but no one matches the perfection that she exudes. Everywhere else I have been, the esthetician puts the mask on and leaves the room for at least 10 minutes. Not Deborah. She gives the most amazing neck, shoulder, arm and hand massage you could ask for. She not only makes your skin look fabulous, she pampers you to no end. Do not hesitate to schedule an appointment with Deborah. You will be so grateful that you did! She is amazing!! read more

Best experience I've had, it had been some time since I gotten waxed before. And I felt like it hurt way less than when I was getting them routinely. I live in Winston Salem and I will be willing to continue to drive an hour for these excellent service. Everything looked clean and felt very comfortable. Can't say enough good things. read more

I wish I could give a 10 STAR REVIEW! Deborah is absolutely amazing!! I just moved to the area and I was nervous about finding a good aesthetician. Well, my search is over! I will be going to Deborah for all my waxing and skincare needs from now on and I will refer everyone I know to her. The salon is adorable and Deborah's bedside manner is wonderful. I feel like I have known her all my life. I could have chatted with her all day! :-) I am so please with the sugaring technique... it's practically pain free and the results are outstanding. She shaped my brows beautifully and the brazilian was even a pleasant experience.... which I would have never said before. Deborah has a gentle touch, she is very thorough, and she made sure she got every last hair. I couldn't be happier with my experience. read more

I had an excellent first facial experience at Esthetique!!!After moving to Charlotte last year I've considered treating myself to a facial multiple times but always got stressed when deciding where to go. I stumbled upon Esthetique and finally decided to pull the trigger and book a facial and I am SO glad that I did. From the moment I walked in Deborah was so welcoming and made me feel so comfortable. She was able to address exactly what I was looking for during my facial treatment and I could not have asked for better service! I would recommend Esthetique to anyone and I am already excited to return. If you're looking for a new spa this is definitely the place! read more

I had always visited Debbie at Esthetique (SHE IS PHENOMENAL!) - However this time I had an appointment with Karen as Debbie was'nt available and I needed a facial BAD after my return from a trip to sunny Hawaii tanned to a char. She seemed extremely skilled and understood what the problems were and which products to use. My nose was peeling off from the tan but stopped immediately after the treatment. Additionally I feel my skin has a healthy sheen even in spite of the sun burns! She did not cut corners or skim at all when it came to the massage! Loved it : ). Will revisit her for sure! read more

Awesome place ! I never do reviews but this place touch my spirit so felt lead. Very professional and cool staff. Cute spot with very relaxing atmosphere. Loved it !!! read more

Debbie is amazing! After recently relocating to Charlotte, I was worried I'd have a hard time finding a good aesthetician. Now, I'm no stranger to the Brazilian wax, so I definitely had expectations based on what I had experienced in the past - an uncomfortable and sometimes painful sticky wax job. Well, Debbie's sugar Brazilian was nothing of the sort! I have never had a pain-free Brazilian until I saw Debbie - and the sugar treatment wins hands down over wax! She fully prepped me before we began, explaining that the sensation with sugar is a little different than with wax, and then began her magic on the table. In addition to being extremely gentle, she had a great "bedside manner" happily chatting while she did her work. It truly was a great experience - who knew anyone could have a great experience getting a Brazilian?!?! I'll never see anyone else for this treatment - I've found the master of this art right here in Charlotte! read more

i had such an amazing experience at esthetique!!! everyone was so kind and personable. i had sugaring done with deborah, and she was the sweetest human. we had great conversation and she did a FANTASTIC job!! 10000% would recommend and will be returning! read more

Must try! It is pricy but worth the money. I received a text to remind me of my appointment which was very helpful. Parking is a bit challenging so make sure to leave time. read more

Do yourself a favor, and go see Deborah. I went for a waxing appointment. She's amazing and makes you feel so comfortable. It may be more expensive than some other places, but totally worth it! It is the only place I will go to from now on. The atmosphere was clean and calming, and after my first visit, I left very happy. I highly recommend. read more

So amazing!! The staff is incredible, but most amazing is Tracy! Most painless wax ever, and she's so fun to talk to. Making an appointment was easy, and I was able to go the same day. Worth the price! read more

I can't believe I haven't rated this place yet.... I've been going here for about 8 months and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it here. Like, wow. Everyone is so kind, and it's so peaceful in here. I come here once a month for a Brazilian and it's such a relaxing and comfortable experience. They are extremely professional and efficient here. For as long as I'm in Charlotte, I won't go anywhere else for my waxing needs. read more

You will never find a better brow goddess than Krista. I've been getting my brows done by her for years and I'd rather look a hot mess with unkempt brows than let anyone else touch them. Not only is she a master of her craft, she's kind, warm, and makes you feel right at home the moment you sit in her chair. No matter if you have thin, bushy, or untouched brows - Krista will make you look and feel like a queen. I can't say enough about the magic that she performs on my brows every time I see her - do your brows a favor and book an appointment with her right now!!!!! read more

I have been a client of Krista's for several years now, and I'll follow her wherever she goes. That said, I'm THRILLED that she is located at Esthetique, because what a fantastic place! The atmosphere is so calming and welcoming, the entire place smells like heaven, and the location is beautiful and convenient. Also convenient is their online booking system: so easy, and last-minute appointments are a possibility! Not only is Krista is a master at her trade, but her magnetic energy and kind disposition make her an absolute delight. She has always kept my brows on point, and I look forward to trying sugaring in the near future. I highly recommend this spa (and my girl Krista) to anyone looking for a relaxing and comforting hair removal or skin care experience. read more

I have a last min upcoming beach trip and was in desperate need of a bikini wax. I was interested in sugar waxing and luckily they were able to fit me in last min. Kelly at the front desk was so friendly and professional. This was my first time here and I got a sugaring treatment of bikini and underarms. I have done hard waxing treatments in the past and wanted to try sugaring since it's supposed to be less irritating for sensitive skin and all natural! Let me tell you I'll never go back to hard wax! Krista made me feel so comfortable during the whole process and everyone at Esthetique was wearing masks and taking safety precautions for COVID. In my opinion it's way less painful than hard wax, I think those who say it's more are just not used to pain lol. Yeah waxing hurts in the moment but this was less painful for me. Normally I have beyond sensitive skin and have very thick dark coarse hair and I always get ingrowns. After I left my appt I realized I didn't feel any irritation or soreness which I always feel after a hard wax. I am beyond thrilled I found sugaring so I'm hooked now! Krista was just fantastic and I highly recommend her and Esthetique! There wasn't that rush feeling of they just want to wax you and get you out. She took her time, had nice conversation, and they give you a nice warm towel and natural oil serum afterwards to put on to help prevent the ingrowns. I live a very natural healthy lifestyle now with food so I'm starting to change my beauty products too and I loved the whole vibe. It's a drive for me but so worth it! read more

I have had a difficult time finding a decent Brazilian waxer in Charlotte. I have had some very unpleasant experiences so I decided to try sugaring. Debbie is amazing. She is quick, painless & very personable. Her studio is clean & great availability. I highly recommend her! read more

I visited Deborah to have my first sugaring session yesterday. All I can say is that she was great! I didn't think I would survive my Brazilian never the less book a follow up appointment but she made it a much easier visit by having such an awesome personality and beside manner! I will be booking again soon. I would not say it was 100% painless but tolerable since she explains what she is doing as she goes along. If you are new to Charlotte, just visiting and or first timer to waxing/sugaring please see Deb! You will love her! Great location and relaxing environment. read more

Esthetique - Quiet, private waiting area... - Skin Care Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

After listening to all of my friends I did not think waxing could be a good experience but Deborah changed that for me. This was my first bikini/Brazilian wax and she made sure to keep me informed of what she was doing the whole time and made me feel very comfortable. The whole process was very quick and I was in and out within 15 minutes. The salon was clean and she definitely knew what she was talking about when it came to waxing and sugaring. I thought this was only going to be a one time thing, but Deborah has convinced me otherwise. I am about to book my second appointment now! read more

This place is phenomenal! When I moved to Charlotte I struggled finding a place with plentiful appt times that worked with my schedule, Esthetique always has availability. Today I had my legs waxed and got a sugar bikini hair removal by Tracie and she was incredible! It was painless and she was so quick! I can't recommend this place enough! We chatted the entire time, she made me feel super comfortable and made sure I wasn't in any pain the entire time I was there. HIGHLY recommend for all of your hair removal needs! read more

10 stars!! This was my first ever brazilian and Debbie was AMAZING! The booking process was quick and straightforward. The space was clean and comfortable. Sugaring is a great hair removal option and well worth the expense. This is definitely a new addition to my beauty regimen. Highly recommended. read more

I have been seeing Debbie for my waxing since I moved to Charlotte eight years ago. Prior to opening her own spot, she worked at a high-end spa uptown. If you need waxing or sugaring, Bamboo & Silk is a must! She uses the highest quality products and it is about as painless as waxing can be. If you're in a rush, she can accommodate your schedule...clearly having mastered working at a large spa! Facials are good too, but I primarily go for waxing. I tried out several places in Charlotte before finding her, and I'm so glad I did. Trust me, I get EVERYTHING waxed, and you want to go somewhere where people know what they are doing and can do it quickly and perfectly. Bamboo & Silk is that place! read more

Debby is great. Love the facial and the music

I found Debbie on Yelp and she was amazing!!! Easy parking, easy to get to, and she was so warm/welcoming. She whipped through a brazilian in no time and was a delight to chat with. I will be back for a facial and waxing. read more

Debbie was phenomenal. I have never felt so relaxed and comfortable. She did a Vermouth Facial on me, and it was well worth every cent. She was knowledgeable, and truly cared about my skin concerns. I will definitely be returning! The environment is very nice, and in her space it was really quiet which helped with relaxation. Loved it , and would highly recommend. read more

Deborah is fantastic. Professional, knowledge, and passionate about what she does. I've been getting Brazilian waxes for over 10 years and my skin does remarkably better with sugaring. read more

So I'm a sugaring vet (going on 5 years) and frequently move a lot for work. So I'm always looking for a new place to get my brazilians done. There's always a bit of anxiety and sadness when you leave the esthetician you love and have to find a new one in your new city. Traci is it! My newfound BFF and Esthetique is my new home. I was so pleasantly surprised that they used Alexandria products (personal fave and the only way to go IMO). The entire experience was relaxing and my skin was so happy. Tbh, this was less painful than my previous sugar studio (but don't tell them). I'm so happy to have found this place. If you haven't gone, go now. These reviews speak for themselves. read more

I have gone to Deborah many times for a Brazilian wax (sugaring) and she is amazing! I made a review for it previously but I recently got a facial from her and it was A M A Z I N G! I have never been so relaxed...she has hands of an angel... although those things are wonderful she also really helped my skin a lot. Since her facial, my skin has improved and I really enjoyed the sample products she gave me! She is very knowledgable and knew exactly what my skin needed. Love love love Deborah! I would honestly go to her for any of her services! read more

I had my eyebrows waxed by Debbie today and she did a fantastic job! It was my first time there so she walked me through the eyebrow grooming options available. She kept my natural shape, which I wanted, and waxed the unwanted hairs. I will continue to go to Debbie for my waxing needs. read more

Love, love, LOVE Debbie. I've known her since her days at Modern Salon & Spa in Hearst Tower. She's so warm, caring and attentive. She always makes me feel relaxed (even when the "treatment" is a full Brazilian waxing! ). Her professionalism is beyond measure, but it's her attention to detail and compassion that keep me going back. I've referred her to a couple of friends and they all say the same thing; Debbie is wonderful!! I'm honored to say that I'm a client (and a friend) for life! Esthetique is the only place for me and I'll follow Deb wherever she goes!! read more

Debbie is amazing! I found her on Yelp and have been going to her for monthly maintenance for about a year. She is the best at sugaring - and I have sensitive skin. She takes great care of me. When I first went to see her getting my lip hair removed was an ordeal. I had broken out in the past and it was always a bad experience. She was patient and kind, and we tried threading and landed on hard wax. Now I have no issues! Also, her facials are so wonderful. My skin felt so soft and hydrated afterwards. Three months ago I loved to NYC and haven't found anyone there comparable to Debbie. This weekend I came down to Charlotte to visit friends, and after booking my plane ticket, the first thing I did was make an appointment with Debbie. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment. read more

WOW! I have had my fair share of facials and Debbie aims for the best. She is ultra gentle and her hands are as soft as butter. It was my first visit to Esthetique and I didn't know what type of facial I wanted. Debbie sat down and immediately diagnosed my skin and rejuvenated my face. Her energy is so positive and light - she makes you feel instantly comfortable. She described all the products she used and informed me about their benefits. Debbie took her time and gave me one of the best facials I have ever had! I would definitely recommend her and can't wait to go back!!! read more

I did a Brazilian (sugaring) for the first time and it went very well! She was very accommodating and said that I could do as little as I wanted to do based on my pain tolerance. I had her count to 3 before ripping off the mixture every time, and it worked for me! I highly recommend her! read more
