Update: I received a phone call from the owner who had just heard about my issue. He was…read moreincredibly nice, apologized for the issues addressed below and offered to rectify the situation. HE was the reason that I am amending my review, and I'm sorry that his business may be negatively affected by the manager representing his company. I have been happy with my waxes, so I will return. As it turns out, covid staffing issues mixed with a generic nationwide ad created an issue with getting answers, which is all I wanted. I always feel that while mistakes are made, it's how they are handled that show a businesses true colors. I bought a couple of wax passes for my daughter and I. I had an ad in hand that stated a price, and then was charge $90 more. I noticed before leaving, and the receptionist said that the ads aren't always up to date. I made 12 phone calls over more than a month, was given the run around until I was finally told that they wouldn't honor the advertised price. Beware of the sneaky charges at this place! I realize that I should have noticed immediately, but they were running almost an hour behind on our appointment and I was on the phone rescheduling an appointment that I was about to be late to when the finally got around to ringing it up and letting me sign. $90 is a huge discrepancy!

I wanted to get my brows microbladed, but I was nervous. I researched and consulted with 3 places…read more Blue Door is professional, clean and follows all COVID protocols. In addition, Sepi at Blue Door was the only practitioner who spent time consulting with me, talking through what I wanted as far as design, color etc. She also gave me a lot of information to read before I booked an actual appointment. The day of the appointment, Sepi took as much time as needed to design my brows and settle on a color. She was thorough and precise and was not going to start the process until I was set on the design. The process itself was easy - my brows were numbed and Sepi got to work. It was easy and painless. Sepi also explained the process and what to expect before she started. Sepi did a great job preparing me for the healing process, which can be challenging. Sepi gave clear instructions along with the common FAQs. While healing, your brows will be darker than you are used to; there will also be itching and you'll be tempted to "help" your brows shed - don't do it!! These photos are after my touch up appointment. I am thrilled with my brows and plan to continue to see Sepi for touch ups as needed.

Booking online was super easy; the building is on one of the main streets in downtown Renton. Be sure to have enough time to find street parking nearby and the building is locked so be sure to use the building code box to get access. The studio is so cute, well decorated and well maintained. Karli is wonderful! She's personable, has humor that I can vibe with, & skilled in her work. I noticed a few people mentioned pain and wanted to mention that may vary based on your pain tolerance and the esthetician's experience or ability. Karli is great and I barely experienced anything yet which is also i prefer sugaring over typical waxing :) What I thought was a unique perk as a first time customer was that she offers a free touch-up within a week of being seen (to support minimal growth apparently!). There's also a rewards system every time you come in.

From seamless appointment booking through text all the way to the service, I can't recommend Lady Lam enough. Christine is very talented at her craft, she thoroughly explains the process of her services and products and you can tell she puts extreme care in the work she does. In the past I tried a few salons to get my Brazilian wax but none of them felt comfortable. My first experience at Lady Lam was so comfortable, Christine made sure I was well situated, was gentle and also distracted me with her wonderful presence. She is a wonderful listener and her studio space is well appointed. I also have for a couple facials with her and they were so relaxing! The prices for all of her services are very reasonable for the service that lasts for a long while. You will need to book with her well in advance (month + recommended) because she is in high demand. I'm going to continue to go to her for sugaring and facials until who knows when. Highly recommend booking an appointment with her!

I don't have super high expectations, but I DO expect to NOT have to go home and finish the job for you. That happened here. I shouldn't have to pluck hairs from my eyebrows & lip immediately following my appointment. I tried this place three times, w/different techs, and this occurred all three times. During one of my appointments they took WAY too much off one side which was shocking.....and embarrassing. That was my *last* appointment with them. **NOTE: I have reviewed the businesses response to my post and it's incorrect. My skin does redden easily (I'm a redhead) but it doesn't exempt it from hair removal. Plus - if skin sensitivity was an issue, wouldn't / shouldn't their tech have said something to me since they're sending me home w/hairs still visible? Wouldn't my facialist have said something by now (she hasn't). I've been seeing her every two weeks for 10 years. And I've had my brows waxed for 30+ years. It IS possible to do it correctly.......

I had a basic pedicure with regular polish and a buff and shine on my fingernails, while my granddaughter had acrylics and Gel X based on a photo she brought in. What stood out to me was their willingness to make adjustments. When I wanted my nail shape changed or felt the polish needed a little touch up, they fixed it right away, no questions asked, and even apologized. My granddaughter showed them a photo of what she wanted. Throughout the appointment, they checked in with her and made adjustments based on her feedback. The final result wasn't an exact copy of the photo, it was actually better, and she was thrilled with how it turned out (the flower was hand drawn not a jewel). What impressed me most was that they genuinely cared about making sure she was happy and were willing to make changes along the way until she loved the result. (The photo here is before they finished and cleaned her hand up). Reading some of the negative reviews, I wonder how many people communicated their concerns during the appointment. In my experience, if you speak up, they genuinely want to make it right. They can't fix something if they don't know you're unhappy with something. The salon felt clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced. It was a hot day outside, but the inside felt cool and comfortable the entire time. I occasionally noticed staff helping other customers while I was there, but I never felt neglected and the delays were brief. For me, a salon visit is a chance to relax, so it wasn't an issue at all. If I had been in a hurry, I believe I could have communicated that and they would have accommodated me. Overall, I found the staff kind, accommodating, and focused on customer satisfaction. In a world where good customer service can be hard to find, this team stood out. They listened, cared about the outcome, and made sure we left happy. I would not hesitate to return and would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for a friendly, reasonably priced salon experience.
