    I can not possibly recommend anyone better than Melissa to do your makeup! She is so professional and you can tell how much she cares about the clients. I hired her to do my makeup for my wedding for myself and bridesmaids. She was very detailed and organized and worked with the hair stylist to make sure we were staying on schedule. She helped guide some of my bridesmaids that didn't know exactly what they wanted and they loved the final look! Melissa is the absolute best makeup artist that I have ever had!

    It can be SO difficult to blindly pick someone who will be in charge of making you look the best you have ever looked on your wedding day! Take it from me -- PICK MELISSA!! I felt absolutely at ease and confident with her from the start. She is such a talented professional and she takes every care to make sure you feel and look as beautiful as possible. My bridesmaids and Mom were blown away by her and thrilled with their look. She listened to each one of them and they all had a look that fit them, no one looked over or under done at all. Absolute perfection! Her pricing is very reasonable, I looked at many other artists and am thrilled that I found Melissa. Her products are top of the line, and so is she!!

    I was scrambling around to find a good makeup artist and hair stylist for my wedding. I am so happy to have found Melissa and Robin on Yelp. They are the dream team!! Melissa and Robin were both very attentive, organized, and communicated with me from planning my makeup and hair trial all the way to my wedding day. They came with assistants and kept us on time. We actually finished early! They finished hair and makeup for me and my 6 bridesmaids within 3.5 hours and everyone looked flawless!!!! We spent hours afterwards taking wedding photos in crazy windy weather, ceremony photos, and through all the crying, laughing and dancing around we did all night, the hair held up and the makeup stayed in tact. Thank you so much to Make Me Up - the dream team duo for coming to glam us up on my big day!!!!!

    Melissa is INCREDIBLE. She was always responsive and helping when speaking/emailing and deciding on the look I wanted. She is one of those people who you want to be friends with after! She is the most amazing girl! TRIAL: At trial, she really listened to EVERYTHING I wanted and she explained everything so I knew what was going on. She did exactly what I wanted but BETTER! She was able to work with my pickiness, and do airbrushing and everything--with PERFECT color matching. She smiled the whole time and truly made me feel at home. DAY OF: MELISSA WAS A ROCKSTAR! She was there early and set up her makeup and was patient waiting for us to get up =) Every one of my girls was SO incredibly happy with their makeup! Melissa made the day SO FUN by making everyone laugh and being so kind and helpful with everyone. She honestly is so mild mannered and courteous and nice that no matter what you want, she never makes it feel like it's an inconvenience. She truly wants to make you happy! All my bridesmaids looked ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. (All the boyfriends could only say "wow" when they saw their girls!) MY MOM--who never ever ever has had her makeup done--saw the work Melissa did to the bridesmaids and opted to have her makeup done the day of. Melissa was able to work her in (with ease! like it was no bother!) and did SUCH AN AMAZING JOB on my mom! My mom was so ecstatic! BOTTOM LINE: Melissa is the BEST makeup artist I have ever seen or used. She is so kind and wonderful and really will make everyone look absolutely gorgeous while looking natural. She has this artistic power with makeup that I have never seen before. I've never had so many people tell me how beautiful I look... thanks to Melissa. =) YOU HAVE to choose her! She honestly will MAKE your day!!! If you don't use Melissa... you are making a big mistake.....

    I just want to start off by saying Melissa is the most talented makeup artist I have encountered...ever! I hate getting my make up done. I never come out the way I imagine. But Melissa made me look like a amazing. I'm super self conscious and I even knew I looked pretty! I couldn't stop smiling. She really made me feel like a princess on my wedding day. She is so professional. She knows what she is doing and she awesome at it. It is so hard to find a make up artist that know how to do Asian makeup. The eyeliner is always too thick or nonexistent. Or they try to put too much make up on you and you end up looking like a concubine. Melissa took her time and really made me look beautiful. Even my tiger mom loved my make up. Melissa even did make up for mom and aunt who don't speak English...and with little being said she took the time to communicate and made them look amazing!!! She was so patient, kind and accommodating! She was so responsive to all my questions and emails and she is so reasonably priced. I was soooo lucky to find her. I am going to use her again anytime I have an event to go to. She is worth every penny. I can't say enough good things about her. She is really the best of the best out there.

    I think it is important to leave an honest review regardless of experience. The establishment is…read morevery nice, well lit and clean. Hailey did my gel manicure and Henry did my pedicure. I paid $130 for both services and I believe the work is mediocre at best. Hailey unfortunately was very rough, I did ask her to please be more gentle but there wasn't any change in pressure with the file. I feel like my manicure was very rushed because she mentioned she needed to go to Costco before they closed. My appointment was at 5pm, Costco closes at 8pm. After she was finished she did not ask me if I liked my nails or else I would have pointed out the imperfections. Henry did my pedicure. The pedicure overall was very nice and I believe he did a good job. My only problem with the pedicure is I selected the $60 pedicure because I wanted a 15 mins massage as they advertise. I was the only customer is the salon yet Henry got up twice to grab products I assume he forgot to grab. In total I got an 11 mins massage. Maybe I am being nit picky but the $50 pedicure comes with a 10 mins massage. Maybe I should have just opted for that instead and saved some money... Now at the end of the service Nicole asked me if I was satisfied. I was honest with her and showed her how messy my nails were. She tried her best to fix them but as you can see from the photos they are still very fuzzy and not clean. Nicole asked me why I didn't mention this to Hailey and I told her the truth...she didn't ask. For $130 I expected to get at least what I paid for. I did not receive any kind of discount and unfortunately left unsatisfied. I can't see myself coming back. **I also believe it should be noted that the photos of the Botox before & after photos are of the employees.

I came in with a few specific skin concerns and also wanting to just improve my overall appearance. She addressed each one with such kindness and patience. She took her time talking to me and answering my questions. I ended up deciding to move forward with all of the treatments she recommended for me and I couldn't be happier with the results so far!! Thanks to MaryEllen it has been a seamless experience and I can't wait for my future treatments with her. I also had a hydra facial recently with Nikki Bruce and absolutely loved it. I was totally glowing afterwards. She knew exactly what my skin needed. I asked if she could set me up with a whole new skincare routine with products and she customized an entire plan for me. I finally feel back on track with taking care of my skin and appearance. Thank you Nikki!! My skin is already looking so much better and I've only had a few appointments at Seaside Skin Care so far.

I felt very comfortable, cozy and trusted her in everything she did. She has healing hands! By the time she was done, I felt like a new woman. It was hard for me to drive home afterwards due to how relaxed I was! My hair and face feel healthy and glowing. I didn't feel rushed out at the end like I have felt many times before going to just "head spa" places. Definitely an elevated experience in treatment and your overall well being. I definitely will be back and highly recommend.

    This was genuinely one of the worst massage experiences I have ever had…read more The woman who worked on me was literally holding and looking at her phone while massaging me with the fingers of ONE HAND. At one point I actually turned around to see what was going on, and she appeared to be watching or reading something on her phone while she was supposed to be giving me a massage. This did not feel like a professional massage in any sense. There were no intentional therapeutic strokes, no real pressure, and absolutely no sense of care or attention. It felt like random, light finger movements while her attention was somewhere else entirely. I finally had to confront her and ask what kind of massage she was even giving me. The entire experience was so unprofessional that it honestly made me question whether the person working on me was properly trained or licensed. I cannot verify her licensing status, so I am not claiming that she was unlicensed -- but based on the experience I received, I would absolutely want to know what her professional qualifications were. What made it even stranger was that after giving me what barely qualified as a massage, she still seemed to expect a tip. I left feeling 100% worse than when I walked in. The whole experience felt uncomfortable, careless, and deeply unpleasant. I wish I remembered her name, but unfortunately I don't. I'm sharing this because people pay for massage expecting a trained professional who is actually present and attentive -- not someone looking at their phone while absentmindedly touching them with one hand. For me, this is a 100% stay away. I would never return. I will say though I had a friend who had a different person that was excellent - but the consistency is not good enough and first HORRIBLE experience w a massage for me so it's a hard NO.

The truth of the matter is that I am a freak for facials and facial products. I am obsessed. I have gone through the world searching out the fountain of youth, and it has worked because I look like I am about um 14 on an old day. So if you are still reading, probably just ladies, I have found perhaps the world's best facialist. Clover is hands-on, totally off-the-wall decadent, experienced, wonderful, kind and gifted. She is all sorts of talented. She just has "it", the "x" factor, that wonderful touch that makes you feel all amazing and J.Lo glowy after you leave. She really wanted me to relax and enjoy myself. She explained everything without upselling, and she was such a graceful and healing presence. She was the most requested facialist at Burke Williams before she started her own place. She is also always super booked, so make sure you get in early and often. You, too, can look like a six year old. She also doesn't leave you in the room with a mask. Oh no, she takes being in the room and healing massage to a different level: she uses healing stones on your feet, puts your hands in warm gloves and basically gives you a full body massage. Massage and facial = yes please!! I'll tell you how good she is: I walked in having a truly awful day, and I walked out knowing and feeling that everything is going to be alright. Now, that's a healing experience.

    I visited the spa as part of an overnight getaway to the Waldorf Astoria resort after the New Year…read more Unfortunately, the spa doesn't live up to the resort level experience it should be. For starters, my initial tour didn't include the quiet room, which I later discovered on my own after my treatment. In addition, there were no light snacks in the women's area, only a single water dispenser & a tea station, both of which were empty the entire 4 hour duration of my time there. Upon departure I realized there are some light snacks in the "members area" , which was also not shown to me during my tour upon check in, and I was surprised to see it all being put away at 5:30 , despite the spa being open until 7:00 pm. When a spa facilitates extended exposure to heat via saunas and hot tubs, it's essential that patrons have access to water so they can rehydrate and to have snacks available. This was a total disappointment. For the service itself, I got a 60 minute de-stress package. The first few minutes after my technician introduced herself were spent reviewing upsell options for feet, scalp, eye, and shoulder treatments that ranged an addition $40-60. I was surprised to learn the add-ons did not actually add time to the service, but the same 60 minute massage would occur with an emphasis on the body part mentioned. This was tacky and not something I would expect from a 5 star resort. In terms of the facilities and their upkeep, the towels were piled high in the hampers throughout the time I was there and the bowl with iced washcloths stayed empty until the last hour. The facilities themselves were outdated and nothing special with respect to the dry and wet saunas and the small whirlpool in the women's section. Overall I do not recommend the Waldorf Astoria spa and will spend my $300-500 spa day money elsewhere.
