Do you ever see celebs and wonder how they have such smooth and dewy (perfect) looking skin? I'll…read moretell you one of their big secrets. Dermaplaning. A technique that entails having weeks' worth of dead skin cells scraped off of your face with a blade, reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. And with the dead skin cells also goes those fine hairs that makeup always clings to -creating that pancake look. Book a dermaplane session, but kick it up a notch by scheduling a hydrating facial with it. It takes about an hour of your time, costs about $100, but what you're left with is ultra ultra silky and smooth skin that begs to be touched. It feels like satin. People, I'm telling you. It's a game changer. Karen is great. Super friendly and very professional. Her office space boasts easy to find parking and is clean and bright and very quiet. There are no negatives here. Book it.

Bridal consult took 6 hours to come up with a look the bride did not want to go with. Communication was a challenge. Nicole gave up (my perception) when the bride asked for a different look. It was a relief when she advised us that she could not accommodate the look the bride wanted. The experience soured me on this entire "bridal make- up" thing. But again, for those really into make up or you want that "look", Nicole's style can work for you.

It's me again! I'm back to rave about Anna some more…read more I saw her on Friday for a lip blush appointment. I had lip blush done about 3-4 years ago by someone else, and it was honestly a horrible experience. Over the last few months, I kept asking Anna if it was really supposed to hurt that much or if I had just gone to someone who didn't know what they were doing. Like any PMU procedure, it's never going to be completely comfortable, but it also shouldn't make you want to quit halfway through which is exactly how I felt the first time, and I have an abnormally high pain tolerance. Anna reassured me that it really shouldn't be that painful, and she was absolutely right. I'm not trying to knock another small business, but the difference was truly night and day. The first pass has to be done before numbing, so naturally that's the most uncomfortable part. After that, Anna reapplied numbing cream multiple times throughout the appointment, and honestly, all I could feel was the vibration of the machine. One thing I really admire about Anna is that she's constantly learning and testing new products to give her clients the best possible experience. She actually tried two different numbing creams during my appointment to compare them. The first worked ok, but the second was hands down the best numbing I've ever experienced. When I told her, she immediately thanked me for the feedback and said she'd be switching to that one going forward. That's the kind of dedication she has, she genuinely cares about making every appointment as comfortable as possible. The appointment itself is about three hours, but the time absolutely flies. Anna is so easy to talk to, has a great sense of humor, and somehow makes the whole experience feel effortless. One thing I love most is that opening her own storefront hasn't changed her at all. She's poured her heart and soul into building her business, yet she's still the same humble, kind, and genuinely grateful person she was before. She's the definition of a girl's girl. For anyone curious, we created a custom color by mixing Brownie Pink and Choco Mauve to get a more neutral brown-toned lip. We tested several combinations on my hand until we found the perfect shade, and I really appreciated how patient she was. She wanted to make sure the color was exactly what I envisioned before we even started. I am beyond happy with how my lips turned out. They already look incredible, and the healing process has been unbelievably easy. The first time I had lip blush done (at a different place), my lips swelled to nearly four times their normal size (I'm not exaggerating) and stayed that way for five days. I was so embarrassed that I wore a mask whenever I went out. This time? Virtually no swelling, and healing has been a breeze. I can't wait to see the final color once everything settles over the next few weeks. Anna deserves every bit of success that's come her way. She continuously invests in herself, her education, and her clients, always looking for ways to improve an experience that's already exceptional. If you're considering brow threading, lip blush, or any other PMU service, I truly can't recommend her enough. She's a master at what she does, and it shows in every detail. Thank you, Anna!

The Salon itself is very clean and has several chairs available for threading. The only downside is that there was only one person who was doing literally everything. So as you can imagine, even if you have an appointment, you'll likely be waiting past that time to get anything done. Either way, I was ok with that for today since I didn't have very many plans but I can see if that happens every time, how it can be annoying. The lady who did my facial and threading did do a good job.
