Great attention to detail! I also really like that you actually have the option to wax or sugar. I'm not picky, so my technician actually did both and I though the service was professional, quick, but thorough. I'm not a frequent hair removal gal but I\d come back! Street parking was hard to find so I ended up in a garage across the street which had a strange phone in/out system that I didn't love, but I didn't have to pay so I can't complain that much about that one little parking quirk.

I got my lower legs waxed for the first time EVER on Saturday. When I entered the shop, there was…read moreno one in the lobby to check in with so I hung around for about five minutes (I'd arrived about 10 minutes early, as the website says to do). There are Fiji water bottles in the lobby but no sign by them. I wasn't sure if they were included in the cost of the appointment or cost extra so I didn't take one. Maybe if I was bolder, I wouldve inquired. They sell a number of sugar scrubs and other products that you can use after your sugaring/waxing appointment at home. At 2:30pm, a technician came out with another customer who'd just finished and greeted me after closing out her appointment. I was definitely nervous but my technician put me at ease with light conversation and music (they let you choose what music you want when you schedule your appointment). I had initially made my appointment for sugaring but I was told that my hairs were too short and that wax would work better. I was a bit disappointed because I'd read about sugaring, but happy that my technician was able to provide good advice. It didn't hurt nearly as much as I expected it to. I was in and out in about 45 minutes with silky smooth legs.

She was also highly professional, listened to me and carefully explained the process beforehand.

The facility was clean and had a calm vibe, and the receptionist was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. I have already booked my next appointment.

I am extremely dissatisfied with Gentle Touch for Electrolysis treatment and would not recommend…read morethis business for adults or minors. I was a client myself and also brought my 16-year-old daughter for treatment. The owner was unprofessional, inflexible, and provided poor customer service. When the treatment was ineffective, my daughter was made to feel as though it was her fault, which is completely unacceptable--especially when working with a minor. There was no clear plan of care, no accountability for poor results, and the equipment used does not appear to be state-of-the-art. Rather than adjusting the approach, responsibility was shifted to the client. I would walk around with a full beard before I ever give this woman another penny of my money.

MALA beauty bar is finally here!!…read more Im so excited, because Ive been going to my aesthetician Yogitha for many years...and now she has her own private spa suite!! Located within Sola Salon Studios, MALA beauty bar offers different kinds of facials, waxing services, and eyelash extensions. And Yogitha is a master in skin care..just look at her skin if you need convincing! She's also very knowledgeable in working with different skin types and tones....real talk!!!! During the COVID quarantine, I went to another aesthetician for a brazilian wax because I wasn't able to see Yogitha..and I ended up having horrible ingrown hair breakouts...yikes!! I Instantly regretted cheating on Yogitha ;) Well, thankfully Yogitha became available, and she helped clear up my unsightly breakout with her skin care regimen....and all is well again! Parking is plentiful, and the suite is conveniently located on the 2nd floor, and offers tons of privacy with double layered curtains covering the sliding door of the suite. I appreciate that Yogitha is so through in sanitizing between customers, checking temperatures, offering hand sanitizer, and requiring everyone (herself included) to wear a mask at all times. Yelp peeps...you will not be disappointed in getting your services at MALA beauty bar!! Highly recommend!

I finally decided on Annie's out of convenience and because she had the best prices ($58-70). The day before my appointment, I saw she introduced a Yelp deal ($50 for $70 worth of services) so I grabbed it up and was able to upgrade the facial. I was Annie's last appointment for the day and I arrived 10 minutes late. Despite all that, she took her time on my facial. She started off by looking at my skin and noted that I wasn't acne-prone but I have oily skin. She didn't say anything as she worked which I love whenever I get treatments so I can just enjoy the experience and relax. (I can't stand chatty therapists, especially masseuses.) Here are all the other points as to why I absolutely loved my facial with Annie: 1) Painless extractions 2) The steam is gentle and not overwhelming 3) She uses a vacuum that sucks up all the dirt and grime from clogged pores (my problem area was my t-zone) 4) She moisturizes your hands 5) She throws in really nice massages for the hands, arms, shoulders, neck, and head 6) I could see a HUGE difference with my skin afterwards 7) She didn't try to push any expensive products and regimens on me 8) It's been over 24 hours and I haven't had any breakouts as a result of the facial (normal but not preferred)
