We found this place online and some of the pictures show it to be a cute little spa. My friend and…read moreI texted the owner and we easily made reservations. Upon, arriving we were greeted with a friendly face - A sweet older dog named Nemo. My friend went off for her massage and Paula (the owner) led me to a peaceful room for a hydrating facial. Paula has been in the industry for 15 years, and gave a very soothing facial and massage. Afterwards, I was led to a back room that is about the size of a hotel bathroom and not well ventilated. There I placed my feet in what I originally thought was a slow cooker (but really it was a small foot bath). I was told the original chair (in her picture) was not moved to this location because they would have to tear up flooring to install it. She was very sanitary and made sure to use clean supplies. She will even explain how she cleans everything in case you need reassurance. As for the pedicure, she filed the toenails and scraped underneath them with what felt like a small knife. She gave good polish recommendations and carefully applied to the nails. She was great with putting on flip flops and making sure my toes didn't smudge. As for the manicure, same process for toenails except I dipped my hands in warm bowl of scented water. The pain points for me: she charged us for "classic pedicure" which should have included a foot massage. Instead, she put on a scented mask and then placed my feet in the bath. As for the manicure, she put on some "quick dry spray" that did not work. My nails were smudged and chipped within 30 minutes of leaving. Additionally, she did not touch my cuticles. For those still reading, my friend highly recommends a basic massage

I absolutely MUST do this review for The Blush Lounge and Jamie, my newfound permanent makeup artist! Absolutely fantastic in every way. From the consultation, I had 100% confidence in her knowledge, ability, understanding what (exactly) I was looking for and my new permanent eyebrows reflect that my confidence in Jamie was spot on! During consultation, I honestly didn't have to ask questions--she concisely explained, step by step, what to expect during the procedure, how we, together would determine shape and color, and the healing process. Each person's skin texture, ability to hold color, and exactly how she would "map" my face to get the correct natural brow line was explained in detail. Her work was flawless. And, I can't explain how realistic and friendly she is...no judgement, no trying to upsell products, just a very talented artist helping each client one at a time to do something that will make them feel comfortable in their own skin.... The shop is immaculate and she is very competitively priced in our market. Jamie, thank you for the new eyebrows and the way you made me so at ease.

I was apprenticed in body art tattooing for many years prior to learning permanent makeup in order to be confident of my equipment and the great variations that exist with skin-types, equipment and pigments. I have worked with plastic surgeons, dermatologists, aestheticians and in salons. When training anyone to do this I have required they have a tattooing background and then an intensive two-week course. Please beware that most who do this in salons and malls have only a very limited training. My services include eyeliner, brow (including microblading) and lip color enhancement, scar camouflaging, areolar reconstructive tattooing (after mastectomy) and beauty marks. I truly enjoy enriching anyone's God-given beauty, so naturally and permanently.
