Since the last review was left two years ago, I wanted to update Yelp that Kat is still the…read moreabsolute BEST. I echo everything in Susan's review: Kat is a perfectionist, professional, efficient and SO much fun. Since moving back to NY and trying a few places around CP, I tried Kat in June. I haven't missed an appointment since, and wouldn't go anywhere else! She uses hard and soft wax, will talk you through exactly what you want and makes the whole experience 10/10!!

Katerina is hilarious, terrifying, gorgeous, and welcoming, all at once. This woman understands…read morethat making a customer feel comfortable is absolutely necessary before ripping out all the hair in their ladybits. And Kat doesn't let you *not* feel comfortable. You WILL laugh and joke and chat and feel like you made a friend, and leave her business sort of stunned that you got all that plus a fantastic wax. You don't have a choice. Because Kat is THROUGH. I have never had a wax this smooth or this complete. She even denuded my lower belly ("this happy trail is not so happy") and parts of my upper thighs I'm too lazy to always shave ("it's messing up my masterpiece"). She used three different kinds of wax and was intensely efficient without ever making me feel rushed. She also didn't make me feel like a fat glob of rolling and undulating lard deposits, as is so often the case for big girls when we get waxed. She asked me to hold some of my skin tight, but I never felt grotesque or like I didn't belong there. I also had much less irritation than I've had with other wax experiences, and I really like that she didn't tell me to come back in four weeks. Six to eight. That seems so much more rational, manageable. Very refreshing. Bottom line: go see Kat. Your confidence will skyrocket ... but it might be difficult to resist the urge to show everyone how dang smooth you are down there.

My hair tangles into huge boulders of knots, and in two hours, almost all the knots are gone.

They are top notch master stylists and they do exceptional life changing results to your hair, and your peace of mind. Words alone cannot express how grateful l am. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to both of you. Much Appreciation.. Davida Chuckrow

I needed a haircut in a tight time frame, so I made an appointment here despite having a negative…read moreexperience for a hair styling appointment a couple of years ago. If I had not had that bad experience, this would be a 4 star, maybe 5 star review. But I am moderating it based on what I experienced in the past, while keeping an open mind for raising it in the future. Rosibel was my stylist for my haircut. She did a great job all around. My shampoo was relaxing, I could see her focused on getting my hair right while she did the actual cutting, and her blow dry styling was wonderful. Even my husband noticed, and he doesn't really pick up on that stuff. I was so happy with how my hair looked, it felt like a shame that I was just going home, haha. I wanted to show it off, and that is not my typical post-haircut mood.

I had a baby and wanted to give myself a little mommy makeover, my hairs blonde and I just wanted highlights and wax, tint and lamination on my brows.. the woman never returned my call back about my hair so I just kept my appointment for wax, tint and lamination.. I walked in and stood there for 5 minutes while people working there were looking at me but not saying anything, the girl was nice however was 30 minutes late to start, whatever no big deal it happens. The wax lamination and tint lasted an hour and a half.. I'm pretty sure the girl was under the influence of something by the way she spoke and looked like she was nodding off. She WAXED HALF MY EYEBROWS OFF! this was my first time doing lamination and tint, i told her I wanted a natural and full look, pictures do not do it justice. You can see from the tan lines how much hair was waxed and taken off. I haven't had my eyebrows waxed in over a year, so my lashes were super full and thick... it doesn't look like the tint or lamination worked at all, I notice no difference other then half my eyebrows missing. Here is before and after of eyebrows. Charged 80$ I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!

Still wouldn't recommend for body waxing. Also know before you go that the body waxes happen in a cubicle-like room in the back, so it's not fully closed off. No one can see in, but some people might be uncomfortable doing bikini waxes and what not in that space.

A couple of days later I got a rude email saying she was changing my appointment to a different day. It wasn't a question but a statement. When I informed her that I couldn't make that appointment she decided it was okay to keep my original appointment, she had only changed it in the first place because she decided she didn't want to work that day. Her place is also difficult to find so she gave me directions, but I still had trouble finding it (which I'm fine with btw, difficult to find places are often worth the effort) but when I called because I was lost she was rude and acted like I was stupid, something that continued once I was there. For all of that attitude I would have expected a fabulous facility but its a glorified closet within a doctor's office which I find weird. And her regular prices are more expensive then other places around here. Save yourself the trouble and go see Katerina and Body Essentials in Clifton Park. She is amazing and it only costs $55!

My first experience at Kristin's was thanks to a groupon purchased by my wonderful fiance (then,…read moreboyfriend) for a massage, facial, and manicure. The time came where the groupon had nearly expired -- given that I am a terrible procrastinator -- and Kristin worked VERY hard with me to find a time where I could come in. All of the services that I received were exceptional, and although I haven't had my hair done by Kristin yet, she is a kind and welcoming individual who always seems glad to see me. Since that first time, I have been in every couple of months for one person in particular: Amy, the aesthetician of my dreams. Amy is my guru, my hero, my Yoda. When I first came in, I had (with all of the best of intentions) completely destroyed my skin. I had been using various products I knew very little about in an attempt to treat my acne which had actually happened as a result of the astringent products I was using making my face extremely sensitive! To hide this from others I was piling foundation and concealer onto my face, which prevented any kind of healing. Amy knew instantly what was wrong and had all sorts of recommendations to make. Every day my skin looks better, and each time I go to Kristin's her smile shows me how drastic the change has been. In fact, with the exception of a tinted SPF I have been using, I have almost completely ceased to use make-up. I don't need it! My skin is incredible! Although everyone at Kristin's will make your day and make you feel fabulous, I cannot recommend Amy's services highly enough. My sister (also an aesthetician) had been telling me for months to find a professional and get real advice about my skin, and her advice led me to this person who made a HUGE difference in my self-image and confidence. Go to Kristin's! As soon and as often as possible!!! You will not regret this decision!

I have had my brows done, and two touch-ups. Brittany is truly talented, a Capital Region industry…read moreleader -- she understands the dynamic of brows and a human face, and executes her work immaculately. She is also gentle and an absolutely sweet person. She constantly checked in to make sure my numbing cream worked and never irritated or overworked my skin. I had light blonde, sparse brows and she turned them into something that added symmetry and dimension to my face in a way I didn't know brows could. I have so much more confidence and am no longer battling with my brow pomade. Her work speaks for itself, I highly recommend visiting her instagram page and observing the brow transformation magic! Additionally, I have had no issues getting in with her. I know she has always been super booked, and when the COVID shut down everything many professionals had to cancel existing appointments, which caused a total chaos in schedules if they were already booked out months in advance. B. brows is worth the wait, if you're lucky enough to get in with her when her books are open -- all the greats are!

You'd think that a business that was shut down from COVID would be thankful to its loyal customers and eager to take on business, however apparently B Brows is so busy that the owner, Brittany, doesn't see the importance in providing responses to her clients. I had to follow up with her for weeks regarding an appointment and then she was rude to me for following up so many times and asking for a response. There are many micro-blading businesses in the Capital Region and I'll take my business someplace else where they actually appreciate their customers.
