I recently moved to the Bmore area and I was dreading having to find a new wax place but I knew I…read morewanted to go with a small business and I'm so glad I did! I was already planning on writing a review due to the quick and painless experience, but then I received the cutest "thank you"'card from Megan and I had to share! I have been getting waxed for 10+ years and it NEVER gets easier for me. Waxing is my least favorite thing in the world and yet Megan actually managed to have me in and out in less than 15 mins and 3 weeks later I still have very minimal hair growth AND not one ingrown hair. I took her advice and purchased some tend skin serum and it has been a life saver. So happy I found her on the first try!

A super plus and then I realized that she was a skilled and well trained esthetician.

This is not just slap products and go skin care. You will be pleased and well taken care of. Your skin will glow. Your brows will be on point. You can even buy skin care for your home use and have your makeup done. I love it here.

The threader checked in with me throughout the process to make sure I was satisfied with the service being done. She was friendly and professional! The price is reasonable and the service is amazing.

DO NOT come here if you care about the health of your brows. I paid $135 for a brow threading,…read moretint, and lamination package on Wednesday, May 20 at 11:15 AM. It is now May 27 -- one week later and my brows are sparse, damaged, and actively falling out. I am including before and after photos. In the before photos you can see my natural brows. Thick, full, and well-defined from the head all the way through the tail. In the after photos you can see the tail of both brows is now sparse and fragmented, with hairs visibly scattered and damaged. This is not fading. This is structural damage. Here is what happened: When I arrived I was immediately handed a consent form and pressured to sign it on the spot with no advance notice. When I took out my phone to photograph the form (so I could reference the aftercare instructions I was agreeing to follow) I was told I was not allowed to take pictures. I have never had a service provider refuse to let me document a form I'm being asked to sign. Before the lamination, she threaded my brows so aggressively that I was visibly shocked. I have had brow laminations many times. Every other technician I've been to takes off as little hair as possible before a lamination because the entire point is to create a full, fluffy result. When I asked her directly what look we were going for, she dismissed my concern and said they would be fluffy once she was finished. They were not. During the chemical processing (a timed procedure where monitoring is critical) she left me to perform threading on two walk-in customers. This is almost certainly why my brows were over-processed. This has never happened to me before at other establishments. When I asked for aftercare instructions before leaving, she pointed me at a poster on the wall for Elleebana Lash Lift maintenance. That is a lash lift aftercare card, a completely different service. I was never given written brow lamination aftercare, just a quick verbal "no fluids or oils for 48 hours". I followed the 48 hour rule to a tee. I take the process very seriously because, of course, I don't want to waste my money. Results: my brow tint was completely gone by day 4. Brow tint should last 4-6 weeks. One week out, my brows are dry, brittle, and falling out every time I brush them. Hair loss is not a listed risk in their consent form. This is not a normal outcome. This is what happens when a chemical treatment is over-processed and left unmonitored. I have the consent form documented (I took a picture before she tried to tell me I couldn't, Thank GOD I did!!). I am pursuing a full refund and will be filing a complaint with the Maryland State Board of Cosmetologists. Do not risk your brows here.

You'd think for liability issues, they'd especially welcome a mother in with her minors. We had to cancel the appointments as I, nor my daughters were comfortable to go in by themselves.

My experience with Christina at Skin Zen Spa was absolutely great!…read more If you are looking for a knowledgeable, thorough, patient esthetician you have found your spot.   I sought Christina out because I did not want to visit a commercial chain spa for a basic facial, and I did not want to go to a "ritzy" spa with a lot of frill that I reserve for girls day out or a bachelorette party. I wanted a nice experience with a thorough, quality facial because the winter did quite a number on my face and I find the solo practitioner esthetician to be a bit more clinical and thorough, while still providing a tranquil environment. LOCATION: So first let me tell you...being new to Maryland I'd never heard of Old Savage Mill where the spa is located.  It's a quaint, older, historical revamped building that I believe used to be a textile plant.  There is ample parking.  Old savage Mill has little clusters of private shops. The shops are unique shops such as photography studios, hair salons and antique shops. It really is an enjoyable experience - you almost feel like you are on a field trip.  I had time to kill before I was able to get an appointment so it was great to explore.  I even bought a few items! Zen is a little tricky to find within the compound. The layout of the shopping area is unique.  It is split up into little buildings with different names.  Skin Zen is located in the "Spinning Building." The best way to get there is to find the "New Weave" building, make a left, go through the double glass doors, make another left, follow though and make a left at the wedding dress shop, go past the restaurant and make another left, and Zen is down the hall to your left.  If you have to use the rest room there are many within the building but not in Christina's private section, as the building is not designed that way so just go before you get to your appointment and disrobe.  Not a big deal abut I figure useful information. ESTHETICIAN: Christina is very nice! I was a walk in and she was able to accommodate me within one hour. The setup is perfect. She has a receiving area and a private back room where she provides services.  Christina gives you a form to fill out about your history and inquiring about your concerns.  She then speaks with you to review the information.  She then examines you and goes over what she feels will be best for you.  She does not pressure or upsell.   After my consult I decided to go for the H2o Oxygen facial. She is very knowledgeable about skin. I am an African-American woman and I was impressed that she made it a point to talk about the things unique to darker pigments.  For example, she explained how extractions with too much pressure may scar my skin type and she would take great care to avoid that. That is always comforting and it let me know I was dealing with a knowledgeable esthetician. She is very friendly and you immediately feel at ease. She will follow your lead with conversation.  She is very detailed and takes her time.  It was a relaxing experience. She even gave me a great shoulder hand and arm massage - giving me the option to choose between hands or feet.  Normally estheticians just leave you in the room, with a mask. Not Christina...she uses that time to provide an added extra benefit of a shoulder hand or shoulder massage included in the service.  Devine!   She accurately knew where my tension was and gave me some advice, admitting that she was not a massage therapist but she had some great suggestions.  RESULTS Christina sent me home with a post treatment package included in my service.  She explained how to keep up the treatment.  She did not heavily push the products just but explained each one she used. I ended up buying two from the organic line of the products she uses. All together I spent about $190.00 dollars.  I feel it was money very well spent. My face is heavenly! Smooth and bright.  It is indeed one of the very best facials I have EVER received and I have gone to many ritzy downtown Manhattan spas.  This facial easily outdoes them all.  She hit all the areas I had issue with. Though I felt I needed many extractions and all types of steam she explained that she tailored to the client's needs and I did not need that.    Don't you just love when we come in telling professionals what we need? LOL I had to laugh at myself when I went home. She was right.  My face is beautiful and clear and where normally I would have some sensitivity and redness after a facial. I have none. And to top it off I woke up this morning and my hands and arms were UNBELIVABLLY soft.  I mean unrealistically so. I kept touching myself.  LOL So I have to call her back today to see what she used on my shoulder, arm and hand massage. So I say all of this to say you will not regret going to Skin Zen Spa!
