She takes walk-ins, but I booked an appointment anyway because they could be quite busy on the weekends.

Alexandra's Muse hosted part of my bachelorette party and I'm incredibly grateful for this…read more Definitely one of the highlights throughout my whole wedding experience. Alexandra (the owner and esthetician) and her colleague, Kari (the massage therapist) were both so thorough, gentle, and attuned to what my friends and I wanted and needed for our facials and massages. They took such good care of us in a way that I can't put into words. Did I also mention how they closed down their whole shop and provided drinks and snacks for all of us for the day? They really went above and beyond--not only in the services they offered but also their overall hospitality.

So glad I found Alexandra's Muse! I've gone for a facial two months in a row and have left with…read moreglowing skin both times - event gotten compliments about my skin in the days after.

I haven't gone to another place in over 5 years, even while I was in college, because no one compares.

Shymell is amazing!!…read more I briefly used to go here at their old location on Telegraph above the tattoo parlor and the attention to detail/comfort and customer service has not only stayed true since then, but has gotten even better! The entire place looks and smells like a spa. Symone is so kind and her smile is super contagious. I went to EWC across the st. to start the Brazilian process again because it was cheaper but immediately regretted it. I promise you, the prices here are so worth it considering my sensitive skin always leaves feeling calmed and renewed after my wax- something that is so rare at every other waxing place I've gone to EVER. I've never experienced any skin issue during after care or long after the wax since they only use the cleanest ingredients and their estheticians are really skilled. I booked an extended Brazilian about 4ish months ago and randomly got assigned Shymell and I'm so glad I did. She's super gentle and makes me feel so comfortable which is crucial for this type of wax. It feels like we've known each other for so long! She tracks how my skin/hair are doing and is now very knowledgable about my skin/hair profile after only a handful of sessions. Also love that they kept the art on the ceiling- so empowering! I don't usually write a long review or review at all but felt the need to share how awesome this place and Shymell are.

My first Brazilian wax and Vida made it me feel very comfortable. She's the best!!!

Cheap like more than one of her tiny table lightbulbs are usually burnt out so she can't see what she's doing and you for sure can't check her work. Cheap like if you say she missed a spot once she'll blame you for having light-colored hair. If you say it twice, she'll tell you not to come back. Cheap like a lousy CD-player stuck on repeat, soft wax still all over your skin, and body-shaming. Cheap like you'll feel after walking out of that studio more than once, because it's available, convenient, and inexpensive - just like your ex. You know? Babe, BELIEVE - your bits deserve better than this. A-VOID

As usual, I'm glad they don't use the tool that is like a sander to remove gel, and instead they properly soak in acetone and cotton, and then remove, so it's less damaging to the nails. I'll be back again soon as this is my regular nail spot. I recommend if you are looking for an affordable, high quality, and vegan friendly salon!

I booked a 45-min back treatment with Shannon, and the experience could not be even more perfect…read more The spa/clinic was light-filled with minimal aesthetics. Luckily their location was not terrible to find, as there was ample street parking. When I walked in, the warm and friendly receptionist greeted and made me feel right at home. Throughout my visit, Shannon shared me with her wealth of knowledge of the various AHAs as well as retinoid products. I love that we were able to geek out on which products to use to achieve brightening effects. She also made some recommendations based on my skin type such as mandelic acid instead of glycolic acid for gentle exfoliation. Without trying to oversell me her products, she suggested that I try over-the-counter Nizoral antifungal wash for possible white-heads that pop up occasionally as well as prescription tretinoin since I had a few hyperpigmented spots that I wanted to fade/brighten. Given it was my first time there, she did allow me to use my credit card to pay but informed me that she only accepted cash or checks to help keep operating costs down. Since my back issues were minor based on her assessment, I did not schedule a return visit. I so very much appreciate her sound and scientifically backed advice (I also follow various certified dermatologists on IG for general aging skin care maintenance); I definitely will be making a visit if future skin issues arrive!
