Esthertiques is a one room wellness studio run by Maria. I left smarter than I walked in and have a…read moresense for how to treat my skin for my desired results. I love anything spa and wellness and I've had plenty of facials, but this one was different. Maria starts with the consultation where she ensures she agrees with your consensus of what type of skin you have and why you're there to see her. She shares facts and data points that I found super useful when evaluating what I needed to change to take care of my face. You'll get some steam to open pores, extraction, mask, massage, moisture, etc. I opted for the biogenic facial. It's ideal for those of you that want to start with a fresh palette. She'll also tell you what to do when you leave her office and how to see continued results. Yes, I left with some products, but they're all natural, organic, and I purchased the core products I don't already have in my (overindulgent) product world. The coolest thing Maria introduced me to and recommended - this electromagnetic something or other that she'd run over some type of bee pollen powder to almost create a barrier between your face, the cleansing it just got, and helping with healing and closing everything back up. It's apparently very common in the Ukraine and Russia. It doesn't hurt, just feels like an electric current is going across your face. I can't describe that eloquently, but it's cool and I bought into it. Maria will fix you up. Come here for some improvements. She offers a variety of services. I'll be back.

Today I got my very first facial ever with Yulie and will be back once a month for the exact same thing!

She was careful, always asking me if I was comfortable or needed anything adjusted. Throughout the facial, I was relaxed and kept in a soothing state. I would recommend Yulie for all of her services, because she's the absolute best!

Was excited to try the facials here because of all the 5 star reviews, but sadly, my experience was…read morea disappointment. Even before going in, I had a gripe with the website lacking in information and prices - why not just make it easy on your customer and just include that info online?? For those wondering, we paid: - $85 for a facial with enzyme peel and extractions (Twinkle Twinkle) - $85 for European facial (Above the Stars). Was supposed to come with massaging for $110 but she forgot so we got a discount. When we got there, we were invited to a very warm and cozy space, but there was a misunderstanding on the services. I had asked for back to back or simultaneous facials (if possible) for myself and my husband. Sarah said that she could do simultaneous facials, so I took that to mean that there would be two rooms and estheticians on site and we would each have our separate treatments at the same time. But no... instead, it was just her when we got there and she led us both to the same room and said that one could sit in a chair while the other was getting their facial done. This was a bit odd to me, but I went with it... she performed an enzyme peel on my face and then put a mask on, and then my husband and I switched spots. While my husband was getting his first 20-30 minutes of treatment, I sat on a chair uncomfortably scrolling through my phone... not exactly a spa experience. And then we switched back and we each got another 10-15 minutes. It felt very unprofessional, especially at the price you are paying. In total, we were there for 1.5 hours. How exactly does that timing add up when we are paying full price for two services, I don't know. Another gripe - there was a lot of time during the facial spent on preparing and opening things while things "sat" on our faces. That is a huge pet peeve for me when getting facials because I am paying for a full hour of service, so that's what I should get. If there is a mask on my face, you can still be massaging my scalp/neck/hands at the same time. If I wanted to lay down with a mask on, I could have done that at home. Now down to the actual quality of facial treatments - meh. A week later, my face is STILL peeling like a lizard from the enzyme peel. That would be ok except that she had not mentioned the possibility of that happening at all. A few days after, my husband's face looked pretty splotchy, and he is blessed with pretty normal and clear skin to begin with. Luckily, we didn't get these facials before a big event like a wedding or something. And also - none of the products she used even smelled good and the towels were pretty rough. The towels smelled faintly like cigarette smoke to me... ick. Little things, but again, I'm paying for an experience when I get a facial and this wasn't it. Maybe she was having an off day, i don't know. But for us, we won't be coming back and will instead be driving the 1+ hour to Maryland to go the esthetician I know and love.

My brows are crazy and wild and I've never found anyone who can tame them quite like her. Her facials are detailed, relaxing, and effective.

Like I said I have been going to Shohreh for almost five years and I consider her not only an expert. but a friend. Thanks for the many years of great service! btw this is not the same Shohreh in other yelp reviews...I don't know who the other person is with all these bad reviews.

When I arrived for my appointment, I was delighted to see the cozy lobby before following Shadonna into the service room. It's decorated with very classy touches that make the room feel very welcoming. She sanitized the treatment table before I sat down. With just a few strips of hardening wax and some touch-up tweezing, my brows looked great again. So many other estheticians have waxed my thick brows down to tiny toothpicks throughout the years, but Shadonna does a perfect job of keeping the definition without caterpillar fuzziness. I was able to pay with my card on file, which I entered when I made the appointment online. I booked my next service with her in person, but I love that the digital platform is available. For now Shadonna is just doing waxing appointments, but plans to expand on the services offered in the coming months. The parking lots are a bit of a labyrinth, but if you turn right at the business driveway (before you get to the 7-11), drive to the back lot, and make another right, you'll see the door on the right-hand side of the building. I'm thrilled I can keep my brows looking good and I look forward to trying some of the other options in the future.
