I personally love the manager Cindy since she is so detail oriented and also fun to chat with. I also liked Raji when she was at this location.

Overall, I would highly recommend for the waxing/sugaring.

DO NOT come here if you care about the health of your brows. I paid $135 for a brow threading,…read moretint, and lamination package on Wednesday, May 20 at 11:15 AM. It is now May 27 -- one week later and my brows are sparse, damaged, and actively falling out. I am including before and after photos. In the before photos you can see my natural brows. Thick, full, and well-defined from the head all the way through the tail. In the after photos you can see the tail of both brows is now sparse and fragmented, with hairs visibly scattered and damaged. This is not fading. This is structural damage. Here is what happened: When I arrived I was immediately handed a consent form and pressured to sign it on the spot with no advance notice. When I took out my phone to photograph the form (so I could reference the aftercare instructions I was agreeing to follow) I was told I was not allowed to take pictures. I have never had a service provider refuse to let me document a form I'm being asked to sign. Before the lamination, she threaded my brows so aggressively that I was visibly shocked. I have had brow laminations many times. Every other technician I've been to takes off as little hair as possible before a lamination because the entire point is to create a full, fluffy result. When I asked her directly what look we were going for, she dismissed my concern and said they would be fluffy once she was finished. They were not. During the chemical processing (a timed procedure where monitoring is critical) she left me to perform threading on two walk-in customers. This is almost certainly why my brows were over-processed. This has never happened to me before at other establishments. When I asked for aftercare instructions before leaving, she pointed me at a poster on the wall for Elleebana Lash Lift maintenance. That is a lash lift aftercare card, a completely different service. I was never given written brow lamination aftercare, just a quick verbal "no fluids or oils for 48 hours". I followed the 48 hour rule to a tee. I take the process very seriously because, of course, I don't want to waste my money. Results: my brow tint was completely gone by day 4. Brow tint should last 4-6 weeks. One week out, my brows are dry, brittle, and falling out every time I brush them. Hair loss is not a listed risk in their consent form. This is not a normal outcome. This is what happens when a chemical treatment is over-processed and left unmonitored. I have the consent form documented (I took a picture before she tried to tell me I couldn't, Thank GOD I did!!). I am pursuing a full refund and will be filing a complaint with the Maryland State Board of Cosmetologists. Do not risk your brows here.

If you care about your brows, I would avoid this place at all costs. You've been warned and I hope this review helps others avoid the same disappointment.

I am extremely dissatisfied with Gentle Touch for Electrolysis treatment and would not recommend…read morethis business for adults or minors. I was a client myself and also brought my 16-year-old daughter for treatment. The owner was unprofessional, inflexible, and provided poor customer service. When the treatment was ineffective, my daughter was made to feel as though it was her fault, which is completely unacceptable--especially when working with a minor. There was no clear plan of care, no accountability for poor results, and the equipment used does not appear to be state-of-the-art. Rather than adjusting the approach, responsibility was shifted to the client. I would walk around with a full beard before I ever give this woman another penny of my money.

She was also highly professional, listened to me and carefully explained the process beforehand. I haven't done anything for my appearance in years so I was nervous about being pressured into something more trendy than I wanted, or being treated like a hopeless case.

The facility was clean and had a calm vibe, and the receptionist was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. I have already booked my next appointment.

All my friends who go say that Blu Water is like no other- getting your nails done in the spa truly feels indulgent. I got a massage done there and it was literally the best massage of my life. So when it came time to get my skin in order, I trusted Blu Water's technicians. I found Ivetta and I am SO glad I did. After I turned 50 I noticed my skin changing. A year later, my skin lost all of its elasticity and I was breaking out- no doubt a loss of estrogen and after taking some pretty serious meds. I scheduled an appointment for a specific service but when I showed up, Ivette took a look at my skin and made recommendations for a different service. After three treatments with her over the course of about two and a half months, my skin has completely turned around! It's absolmutely glowing! It's even, my pores are smaller and it's tighter. It was just starting to crepe- GONE! And even the dark circles under my eyes are lighter. It's abs amazing and I never thought I could be that woman with pretty skin.

She used to work for a different establishment and she messaged me telling me she was switching to Mirage Nails. Mirage Nails is 10 minutes further for me, but I will make the trip just for her! The first time I came here was for my birthday nails! As every other girl, they want their birthday nails to be the best possible. I did tips, My Vampire is Buff with chrome powder on top. The vanilla clean girl TikTok trend (basically where I get all my nail inspo) These nails were so beautiful, even my mom complimented them! Both the times I've been she only had the color in gel. She's so sweet, she'll even look for the color herself, while I sit! She puts dip powder first and coats the nail with gel, which makes them stay on that much longer. Honestly, the feeling of your hair getting caught in your nails has never been a problem with Naly! I always feel looking my best after my getting my nails done with her. The salon itself is very clean and well lit. It's relatively small with only a few chairs for pedicure and manicures and I honestly would not be able to find it or even know about it if it wasn't for her. They have a wide array of colors ranging from regular, gel, dip! Even chrome powders which is all the rave right now. After my visit two times, I can guarantee whatever style or color I want the salon will definitely have.

While I would like to say that I got a very nice manicure and pedicure it was quite costly. I got a standard manicure and pedicure for $52. I observed the owner making it very difficult for an African-American gay man to keep his appointment. He was instructed to stay in his car and when he indicated that he walk there he was told he needed to wait outside. I indicated that there was an opportunity of somewhere to sit within the salon and he said thank you for speaking up for him. She took him into a back room to get his eyebrows done and upon having him come to the front of the store she then told him that she could not keep his pedicure appointment. When one of the workers spoke up that she could be done quickly to take him, the owner brushed her off and said no we cannot give you a pedicure today. He then got very upset and frustrated and decided to leave. Another client indicated that her friend could come back another day to get her pedicure since she didn't have an appointment. The owner still told the man that he was not able to get a pedicure that day. I was very upset and disappointed to see the blatant racism towards this African-American man. I will not be returning!
