I heard about this place from one of my good friends who did 6 treatments total here so I decided…read moreto book a consultation appointment. I was running a little late due to traffic accident and Mariko was very understanding. The place is very clean, cute and cozy. When I got there, Mariko offered me coffee, tea, or water which was nice. She also did my consultation and made me feel at ease with the whole process since this was my first time. She was honest too and helped me pick the proper treatment for me instead of just trying to get me to spend more. Since I do have dark hair, she explained my outcome will be more successful than someone who has light hair such as blonde or red hair. She also answered all my questions and was easy to talk with. I decided to go through with doing my first treatment and it was a lot better than expected. There's a package deal that includes 5 treatments which I booked. I also got a 10% discount for being a student which was a nice surprise. Mariko was amazing and talked me through each step and I think her techniques were so good which also made it not so painful. She explained both machines to me prior and did a sample test on herself before doing it on me. Most of the spots didn't even hurt, and the laser felt like hot air. The parts that stung it was really quick and she placed an ice pack right over which helped a lot. I did my armpits, brazilian, and lower legs and whole process took about an hour. She was very professional and I'm happy she was my laser tech. She also gave me some aloe in case I had itching afterwards, which I didn't, and sunscreen samples. Highly recommend Mariko and can't wait to have my future treatments with her!

Visited brow house a handful of weeks before COVID-19 shut businesses like this one down…read more I went early on a Saturday evening and I was the only client in at the time, only one esthetician working; understandably Saturday evening isn't the most popular time. It was easy to book an appt on their website and I was sent a reminder and also given friendly service when I called in with questions about my appt. I was greeted warmly upon entering, and the whole appt went smoothly with Ruby. I was there for a Brazilian and was almost 9 months pregnant, so pleasant isn't probably the word to describe things, but Ruby did a great job. The place is super cute and the rooms are nice and cozy, clean and calming. They don't feel sterile and cold but you can tell they're taking all the right sanitary measures. I will definitely revisit for that and other services once they reopen!

Michelle S is the best thing about this place. I usually don't like chains like EWC, but I came…read morehere specifically for Michelle after a friend's GLOWING recommendation and she did NOT disappoint! First of all, she is always so friendly and kind and in a great mood. I come to her for Brazilian waxing and I have never had an esthetician more diligent, thorough, and attentive than Michelle - she takes the time to get all my little hairs out to make sure I look as good as possible!! She is also very gentle (which is saying a lot when talking about waxing down there haha) and sensitive to specific skin needs! AND she is so knowledgeable about products - I never feel like she is pushing products on me, but she is giving me genuine suggestions based on what she sees I need and what I tell her is going on. I have been going to her for almost 4 years now and recommend her to EVERYONE! Once, I was in a jam and had to see a different person at EWC and that bad experience just made me even more appreciative of Michelle and her care.

This was my second time getting eyelash extensions (the first was only 5days before in Las Vegas)…read moreand it was outstanding! My previous extensions were falling out rapidly and since the place I got them was across the country, I couldn't go back to get them fixed, so I found Dollhouse Spatique. Thank GOD!

I will absolutely be going back to see her for this service and the others that she offers too!

BUYER BEWARE. Nice facility. Professional environment. I paid over a thousand dollars in advance…read moreto treat multiple areas of my body with laser hair removal. I had to cease treatments on some areas because they get exposed to sun and the provider will not treat any area that gets sun exposure. I was able to continue treatment on the other area since it does not get exposed to sun. However, after a year's worth of treatments at the service interval the provider suggested, it turned out that laser hair removal did not work on me. Going into this, I knew that laser hair removal doesn't work for everyone. So, when it turned out to be ineffective on me, I wasn't surprised. Although after the first couple of treatments, hair growth did slow some but at this point, hair in the treated area grows the same as it did before treatment began. So I stopped treatments and requested a refund (HUNDREDS of dollars) for the treatments that had not yet been provided. The business owner declined my refund request claiming that, "There are no refunds." To me, retaining money for services that have not been provided seems inappropriate and unjustified (unless there were associated costs to the provider for those unused services - which, in this case, there were not). Therefor, although the treatment sessions themselves were fine and I have no complaint about the service that WAS provided, I cannot recommend this business due to the "no refund" policy. I suggest that if you are looking for laser hair removal service, you either find another provider or if you do use this provider, do not pay in advance.

I purchased a Groupon for laser hair removal. Online it mentions that there is "limited scheduling…read moreavailability", and that is true. The staff actually live and work in Florida full time, and they come to Charlottesville about once every five weeks for appointments. They're usually in town for a three day weekend. That means that all Charlottesville customers are on the same schedule. If you're flexible and this works for you (it did for me), this is a reasonable option. Cheryl, the laser hair removal technician, is proficient and professional. I was satisfied with my results and appreciated her fairly clinical approach. She made thoughtful adjustments in the treatment each time, and I benefitted from that. Because of the scheduling logistics, Cheryl allowed me to combine a few treatment areas under one Groupon. I appreciated that flexibility. Her assistant Adrienne (sp?) was also nice, though on multiple occasions she announced to a waiting room full of people what services a particular customer was having, and I thought that was unprofessional. Ultimately, I was satisfied with my experience here. I would recommend it as long as you know what you're getting into with scheduling. The Groupon made it particularly affordable, and there aren't a lot of similarly priced choices for laser hair removal in Charlottesville.
