Abida was gentle, professional, detail-oriented, and really listened to what I wanted--a natural look with a cat eye--and she did an incredible job! My lashes turned out full, natural, and beautifully done. Arch Salon is definitely the best salon in Colonie and Upstate New York for lashes, brows, facials, and full-service hair extension services. I'm so impressed! I also highly recommend their HydraFacial, microblading/powder brows, and waxing! I'm so happy I found this place.. what a hidden gem! The salon was very clean, and I loved the ambience--calm and relaxing. You can tell they truly care about providing a great experience for their clients. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Arch Salon to anyone looking for the best lash services in the area!

Hormonal acne, during my pregnancy and now postpartum. When I started seeing her, my goal was to control and improve my acne. I have exceeded that goal and am now confidently rocking my skin makeup-free. Her knowledge of skin and how to care for it is extensive. She analyzes your skin and gives an in-depth recommendation on a home routine. She is judgment-free when I'm not consistent with my routine and helps me get back on track. She is worth every penny. With consistency, you will see improvement and enjoy every visit, as she is not only an amazing esthetician but also an even better human being.

Before I even arrived, she texted me the morning of with the office address how to get there and wish me safe travels. Once I was there, the space was incredibly clean light and airy, and she proved to be super knowledgeable, attentive, and caring. The appointment never felt rushed even though there was someone scheduled for right after me. She analyzed all my products that I brought & told me why certain ingredients should not be used. She then put the good ones in one pile the 'not so good' ones in another- I threw the 'not so good' ones out immediately and had no qualms about doing so by the end of our appointment together. Katerina got a sense of what my routines were (or weren't) and gave me some helpful suggestions that have since become staples in my routine and my skin is significantly better. I would certainly go back the next time I'm passing through the Albany, New York area.

When my old threading lady, Naheed who worked at Super Mario moved to New Jersey last fall I was…read moreheartbroken. She did my eyebrows throughout college and my years after. After about three months of walking around with messy eyebrows, I decided to go Arch a try. Pros: It's well lighted. Student discount. Clean. CONS: I ASKED FOR A CLEAN UP. I HATE THIN EYEBROWS. SHE MADE BOTH MY EYEBROWS LOOK LIKE SKINNY LINES. NO ARCH, NO SHAPE! WORST SERVICE EVER. So all the pros went down the toilet because customer service: Listen to what your customer desires. I'm trusting you as an expert but don't think you shouldn't listen to me. And then, don't be rude afterwards! Do not let Rubina touch your eyebrows. Yes, I remember her name, I still shed tears. It took months for my brows to grow back to normal

I have learned my lesson. Absolutely the most painful threading I have ever had done. She actually…read morecut the skin under my brow with the thread. I've had my eyebrows threaded many times, in many salons. This experience was deplorable. The woman actually said, "The first time always hurts the worst. Then you get used to it." Not my first time, never going back.

The salon itself seems nice enough, but my "stylist" (I am using that term outside of its proper…read moremeaning) was shitty and gave me the worst haircut of my life. If I lived in Albany I may come back to this salon because the owner was pleasant and it was clean but I would definitely ask for a different "stylist." My Experience: Me: Hi, I would like a VERY short trim. I just got my haircut and am only getting a trim because it is only more than $5 than a wash alone. Really, 1/2 an inch max. Her: No problem. Early in I warned her that she was cutting too much and I was freaking out. She begged to differ, said she was "fixing the layers." She wasn't. I brought it up 3 more times in the process, she didn't listen. I have a very good stylist at home who makes great long, flowing layers. Apparently that soft look didn't work for Miss Albany 2002. When she was done with me I walked out with a Jennifer Anniston circa friends nightmarish chop head. I was sad. I didn't want to talk about it. I just finished taking the NY Bar that day and I was tired, too tired to fight, too tired to cry. I smiled and paid. I even tipped her. I wish I didn't tip her. I waited two months to post this review because I didn't know if I was being sensitive about my hair immediately after getting the cut. But now I feel like I can truly say IT WAS THE WORST HAIRCUT OF MY LIFE. She didn't listen, even though I told her repeatedly. She thought she knew better. Oh yeah, she was licking her lips every two seconds, I would have bet $100 she was on meth. I even got a lot of "ahhhh...you poor thing, look at your hair, bad haircuts are the worst... it will grow soon" talks from girlfriends upon my return. Not the talks that I solicited mentioning I hate my hair, but words that fell out of their mouths when they got sight of my hair disaster. Anyway it is finally starting to grow out. When I walked out Tullio that day in Feb I told myself, "don't freak out, just wait two months." It was really the worst haircut of my life.

I understand that training services aren't just that, but there's also a certain expectation of quality. I had a Brazilian that left a lot of hair behind and the waxer pinched me a number of times trying to get the wax strips off. As I was under a time constraint and had planned for a 15 minute service, I had to stop her after 30 minutes and leave without a complete wax. She was very nice, but the service was incredibly disappointing and left me frustrated
