I had an absolutely wonderful time working with Sara! She did my makeup for my engagement pictures…read moreand for my wedding day. I felt so beautiful the day of the wedding - largely because I had wonderful people taking care of me so I wouldn't have to worry about messing up my make-up or hair! Sara is an incredibly positive and optimistic person - she did a great job of bringing a presence that was calm (but fun!) and was talking about how perfect the day would be. It was really great to have someone with a personality like hers to help me get ready for such a special occasion. She did my trial on the same day of our engagement pictures and she listened to my requests (I wanted to look like myself aka no heavy make-up) and knew the exact right products to use. I did the trial + day of package which included a product (I think just one but maybe it was 2 or 3? AH! I can't remember) but I still use those products 6 months later because I love them so much. My make-up stayed for the entire day and still looked great 10-12 hours after she did it. She was on-time and very professional. Would totally recommend About Face - and make sure you ask for Sara!

About Face had a few tables of ridiculously low priced high-end makeup, nail polish and skin care. The people working there were personable and knew the product lines. I passed on a few items at the time and they're helping me buy them and have them shipped to me in Minneapolis. I'd go there all the time if it were local.

I vowed to never let anyone thread my eyebrows anymore after 1 visit here. I've had my eyebrows…read morethreaded for the past 7 years and this one was probably the worst. I don't live in Rochester, MN but was due for a cleaning. There was a woman who sat behind the counter on the phone. She approached the girl who was next up but that girl requested for another woman. So, that woman behind the counter came towards me. I specifically told her not to thread my eyebrows a certain way but she didn't seem to listen. My eyebrows turned out exactly what I told her not to do. I told her how I wanted it fixed. She attempted to fix it then handed me the mirror. My eyebrows were very thin and uneven! It looked like two different eyebrows on my face. I wanted to cry but told her I will just pay for it and fix it at home. Be cautious. It is true. Service is inconsistent. I wouldn't do it unless you know who will be threading your eyebrows.

I stopped in here to get my eyebrows threaded. There wasn't a wait circa 8:15 pm on a Tuesday. The…read morelady that did my eyebrows was friendly but was asking a lot of questions .. very chatty gal. I asked just for a simple clean-up and not to make them too thin. The shape turned out really nice but more thin than I would have liked. This is a decent place if you need a quick fix.

Essence Skin Clinic, under the ownership & direction of Jennifer Sanneman CLP, is an excellent resource in Midwest. They offer and exclusive and exhaustive list of skin care treatments that address each individual's concern to help you leave feeling your absolute best. Jennifer treated me like gold, giving me highly personalized service. I have had 3 major laser resurfacing treatments and could not be more happy with my results. Her eye for perfection and that standards by which she trains her staff are far superior to that of any staff in MN. The wide range of services they offer are cutting edge in technology. A poor review of this place would just mean that that person's issues go much deeper than a cosmetic visit. Unhappy people are hurting people that lash out at others. As far as I am concerned. This place is a little "slice of Heaven" in the midwest & Jennifer and her "angels" can help me out with my appearance anytime!!!!! ;)

Came for a prenatal massage. Left very disappointed. I've had prenatal massages in the past and…read morethis one was the most expensive and the most lackluster. I'm an OBGYN and from their services today you can tell they don't accommodate pregnant women often. 2 stars are because everyone was nice. I just don't think they're trained in depth to serve the needs of pregnant women (ie I was told they couldn't do a foot scrub because it's too "vigorous" and I reported edema.) that's medically not a thing. I also feel my massage therapist was very dainty and soft. I wanted more of a lymphatic style massage to help relieve foot, ankle, and lower leg edema which we discussed at the start. I feel like time was wasted doing ineffective things (ie holding pressure on my neck for several minutes with no movement.) Pregnancy pillow was also extremely uncomfortable. I wasn't asked at all how the pressure was (which is odd since that's a basic of any massage.) I was looking for a bells and whistles massage. Despite their advertising, this was extremely basic (not even a hot towel on the feet or face was used.) Leaving disappointed and $160 (for a 70 min massage) in the hole with no relief.
