It definitely worked. She is not going to push expensive packages on you just for the sake of it. She truly wants to see results for you.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE AND WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER…read more I went to my first appointment booked for 5:30pm. Since it was the first one, I thought that probably I would have to fill in some forms and I decided to arrive earlier at 5:15pm. When I arrived, the office was closed with a post-it on the door mentioning "I will come back at 5:45pm". I thought it was weird if my appointment was at 5:30pm but I decided to wait. The office is at the second floor on a building with no AC at the hallways and I did have a face mask so it was very annoying due to the hot. Then, at 5:40pm another client came and told me she did have an appointment at 5:45pm. So, when I explained to her than I had been waiting for a while she called the owner and she told her we were both there. This customer told me that she preferred calling her because the first time she went there the same thing happened to her and the owner had completely forgotten about her appointment as well. When the owner came back, she didn't even bother to apologize and she just asked the other lady to go inside instead of me who at that point had been waiting for more than 30 minutes! When I asked her about my appointment, she just told me what I was explaining was "impossible" because she did book my appointment for 6pm and that she went out at 5:30pm (seriously?! When she had done the same to the same other client on her first appointment as well? And when I had been there since 5:15pm?). In few words, after all the wait she just implied I was lying about the time of my appointment, as well as all the time I had been waiting there and she didn't even apologize. Just told me that because I did have to fill in some forms (almost at 6pm), the other customer was going first. I was VERY frustrated so I decided to find another place to go. Just a very AWFUL way to treat a customer on the first appointment!!

At an affordable rate too? Y'all are getting RIPPED off going elsewhere. I get RF microneedling because I struggled with acne scars for YEARS (we go way back to 2016!!) - I pay $150 or a bit more?? (inflation can kiss my azz) but it's worth every penny. My confidence has sky rocketed ever since I stepped foot into this place - Aug 2021 - TODAY. I can't talk about other procedures but my sister does IPL (intense pulse light) and she loves it there too. We've had great experiences there and I'm so glad my other friend told me about this place. Skin care places are EVIL out there. YS though? They'll charge you an affordable rate and it's worth it.

I have been tanning for decades now and can honestly say that Cabana Tanning & Beauty Bar is by far…read morethe best in the city. There really is no downside to coming to this salon. As the tanning industry has gradually shifted over time to include health and beauty, Cabana is at the top of the game. There are no gimmicks here: no machines that make promises and do nothing, and zero pressure to up sell packages, promos or lotions. The vibe of the salon is very inclusive. Owned by a husband and wife duo who look like they just stepped out of a fitness magazine, the focus here is on knowledge. It is aromatic like a massage spa for relaxation. Here you will find beds that promise to output exactly the shade you are seeking. There are beds of every level, which outperform beds on tier lists at other salons. Some clients, like me, like to be super dark, others, with a hint of a tan, others to even out an uneven skin tone, and some looking for the pre-vacation glow/base tan. Everyone who works here are not only experts on which bed will suit you best, but also how frequent you should tan to achieve desired results. They know their lotions inside out to help get you there, but do not push them for extra cash. The reason is two-fold, I think - have you ever been to a salon several times within a short time frame where you got great color, only for it to fade days later, unevenly? This is because your bronzer in your lotion "dyed" your skin, but the bulbs were weak and did not provide a base tan. Those other salons will push lotions on you because the bulbs aren't being replaced on a timely basis, or, one or two bulbs will be changed, leaving the older bulbs in during a "full bulb change" (an inside owner "trick"). While it is best to use a lotion, you can either ask or be told once when you first become a client of its benefits. Staff will read out ingredients whenever you are even curious about a lotion so you know what you are putting on your skin. But there is never any pressure to purchase. The affinity bed is one of my favorites by far. Produces instant color and the facial unit has two levels that can be adjusted. This bed is a combo uva and uvb and is perfect for priming for your next visit, should you choose to use the "browning" bed (the amazing Matrix) which produces amazing color and deepens your melanin gained over your past tanning sessions. The stand up is comparable to both Affinity and Matrix in terms of color output. The level one bed - the silver bullet - is not to be underestimated. Both the silver bullet and the standup have frosted acrylics. A lot of people assume there will be less penetration of light-to-skin, which is negligibly true, however the bonus of these type of acrylics is a more evenly diffused tan. If you have trouble with getting color on your legs (a common complaint at other salons), these are the beds that can assist. Even though I am very dark - possibly one of the darkest clients, I have used both, and actually prefer the silver bullet to the standup. Because Cabana takes such care of their units and change bulbs frequently, I still got amazing color. The very negligible loss of penetration is rendered void because of this. The amount of clients who have thanked me for trusting this bed, as dark as I am, and gotten positive results are innumerable. Can't stand the heat? Hop into the mid-level Prestige. It has top notch fans and its own built-in AC. There are licensed hair removal (laser) procedures here, licensed lymphatic drainage by a qualified technician whom I have heard clients rave about, especially females post surgical procedures. There are a bevvy of health and beauty treatments here. There seminars on fitness, diet, mental well being held here from time to time by professionals, and a doctor who has her own office for botox and other procedures related to beauty. I did a consult with her, and instead of spending excess money - something she pointed out - she showed me a mirror, explained the musculature of my face and showed me how the most minimally invasive procedure, when I am ready, will remedy my concerns. A lot of the most beautiful clients I see walking out of her office look like they haven't had any work done, and are simply stunning. There is also a dedicated eyebrow technician on site whom everybody loves, and as to the tanning beds and spray tan, although Cabana can be high traffic, there will always be an alternate bed that will suit your needs. Cleaning is thorough, spotless and there is much to read. I have never seen a salon with so many successful businesses advertising - from hair, to dental, you name it, I cant even keep track of them all. This is another indication that other businesses are impressed by this location and all that it offers - so much so they trust being advertised in house. There is ample parking and bus stops in both directions in front, and no hiking up stairs.

She tried her best to make me feel relax by telling me that it'll be quick but oh boy, it was painful! I couldn't relax because it was my first time (I was anxious) and it was painful right after she yanked the upper portion of my bush. It was mostly painful because I have so many hairs down there. She didn't trim it & I didn't trim it before meeting her. She didn't ask me to check if she did well or not after my brazillian & full legs. She just told me to pay after I'm done changing. There are still some hairs left. She did wore 1 blue glove (right hand) during the brazillian wax but she didn't wash her hands before the procedure. I paid $85.00 incuding the $10.00 tip. I thanked her for the wax deal. She's a nice lady with 25 years of experience but for me her brazillian techniques are painful and the wax is too hot for my skin threshold. I endured everything, I hope my future brazillian wax will be better than this. I've been told that the first brazillian experience is worst but it'll get better after the 3rd try.
