I absolutely adore my lashes from Natasha and get lots of compliments on how natural and gorgeous…read morethey look. Natasha does amazing work! Her studio is spotless and she goes to length to keep everything very hygienic, while maintaining a warm environment. I have a product allergy and she made sure every single thing would be safe for me. It should be mentioned I also drive a 2+ round trip just for her services. It is well worth to trip, because I know my eyes and lashes will be kept in perfect conditions and safe. I haven't had a chance to have my make-up done by her, but will soon and I can't wait!

I hired Natasha for my Bridal makeup for my wedding last July. She was incredible! I had concerns…read moreabout my eye makeup smudging as it always tends to do with my hooded eyes. She knew exactly what to do and I had no problems at all! My makeup lasted the entire night, even through me bawling my eyes out on several occasions. She also did my Matron of Honors makeup and took my look and muted it for hers. I absolutely loved working with Natasha from the initial conversation, to the trial, to the wedding day and beyond. She took the looks I liked and made them even better. I would highly recommend her!!

Kasandra is amazing! I went to her for a brow wax as well as a vagicial and a Brazilian. Her place…read moreis a private one-room studio with a great vibe which makes it very comfortable. Plus she is so friendly and kind she automatically puts you right at ease. Her products and techniques are top notch! Everything was so much less painful than I was expecting. Immediately after my appointment I looked in the mirror and was shocked to see that my brows had zero redness! I have always had much more pain and redness with other waxing places I've been to. I feel like I not only found an esthetician I will want to keep going to, but also like I made a new friend. If you have any anxiety about body issues and going to get waxed, the best way to get over them is just go to someone like Kasandra. She will make your appointment into a fun chat session and you will feel more confidence in your body after a fresh wax. I wish I would have not put this off for as long as I did.

I'll admit it, I wouldn't have thought twice about trying the salon based on the overall ratings…read morebut I received a gift certificate so I looked more into it. After digging into the reviews more carefully I realized the more recent ones were from satisfied customers so I made an appointment. I am SHOCKED at how amazing my experience was. The salon is CLEAN, updated, organized and decorated nicely. It was very busy yet not overly loud or reeking of chemicals. I saw Jessica for a new set of short French tips and she was SPECTACULAR. I've never had someone so thorough, efficient, attentive to detail, and also fast (without feeling rushed). I've had so many bad nail experiences that I'm unfortunately really critical and I don't have one single bad thing to say about this experience! I wasn't sure about getting a short French on my natural nails or on tips but Jessica helped me decide that a new set of tips with builder gel would be better to match my inspiration photo and would be extremely durable for a long trip. LOVE the advice and she clearly was thinking about my needs which made me feel taken care of. I wanted a short French style and she perfectly matched the photo I provided. There was no nickel and diming, no pushy upsells, no gossiping or side eye glances to other workers. None of that! Jessica was easy to talk to without being overly chatty. The whole experience was incredibly relaxing. Being my first time here I was observing their workflow and on top of getting my full set done in less than 45 minutes she also politely acknowledged other customers as they came in and even answered a call. She's a salon rockstar for sure. She handled all the business, was a delight to sit with, and my nails came out perfect. Her French tips were also effortlessly hand painted with no guides or tapes and she perfectly matched my nail bed color to my skin tone with no questions asked. She's excellent. I've never had such a well executed finished product. Out the door my set was $70 which was cheaper than the hot mess of a job I got at another salon in town (who tried to charge me extra for prepping my cuticles). I'm still shocked. Highly, HIGHLY recommend giving them a try. I'm delighted I did!

I'm writing this review based on my friend's recent experience because I was honestly shocked by…read morewhat happened. She has gone to this salon (Martell Nails & Spa) and this nail technician many times before and has always been happy with her results, which makes this experience even more disappointing. After getting an acrylic set in April, she immediately noticed some issues. One of the nails was extremely curved and looked noticeably off when her hand was flat, and the paint on the tips was uneven and bumpy. About two weeks later, her index fingernail started lifting on one side, causing the acrylic to sit crooked. As the nails grew out, she attempted to remove them but found that they were incredibly difficult to take off. Even after more than a month, several nails were still stuck on very tightly. During the removal process, one of the nails ripped off and caused her finger to bleed. She was eventually able to remove most of the set, but the thumb nails were so strongly attached that she couldn't get them off even after having the set on for well over a month. It's unfortunate because she has been a repeat customer and has had positive experiences in the past. However, this set had obvious quality issues from the beginning and ended up causing pain and damage during removal.

We had a girls-weekend this past weekend and book a full day of services at Skintique Day Spa…read more Three of us had 90 minutes massages, facials, and mani/pedis. We all enjoyed the experience very much! We were greeted with fruit, pastries, and a mimosa! First, I went with Mary for my mani/pedi. Mary was super friendly, and gentle! I had a very relaxing leg massage, hot parafan wax to soften my hands and feet, and love the results of my vixen colored nails! Next, I went with Melissa for my facial. She was also very friendly and gave me some skin care pointers to keep my face looking at its best. The facial was relaxing and my skin was glowing afterwards! I ended my visit with the 90 minute massage from Sally. I had the choice of a stone massage or CBD oil massage. I chose the CBD massage and Sally was wonderful! She worked out the kinks but she was not to rough; I was able to really enjoy the relaxing massage. I need to give a shout out to all of them and include the owner of the day spa! She checked on us, and brought drinks and goodies throughout the day. She made sure we were well taken care of and pampered! Thank you so much to all of you for making our girls day at the spa special!!! Janet :-) P.S. Thank you Mary for the red nail polish too and making my day even more memorable!!

I did what every terrified scared woman does and I google wax places, read reviews and scheduled my 1st appointment with The Wax Lady aka Johanna. Johanna was either going to make this an amazing experience or brake it for me. As soon as I walked in Johanna greeted me with a friendly warm smile. Right away making me feel comfortable and relaxed. She asked me if I had ever been waxed before and made sure she explained in detail what I should expect. Made sure I understood this was my body and if at anytime I decided not to proceed to just let her know. She went over basic breathing exercises and I won't lie as comfortable as she made me feel, I was still terrified. After she pulled the 1st strip the process went nice and smooth. I will definitely be back, I definitely recommend everyone to see Johanna, specially for all those who have never been wax and are terrified. Your 1st time should always be with a person who take their time to make sure you are as comfortable as possible and provide you with all the information you need during and after the process. Thank you Johanna you are awesome.
