This post is actually years overdue. I went to see Leslie several times, a few years ago, when I…read morewent to school a mere several longish blocks away. I don't even remember how I came across Skinsations, but I'm so glad I did when I did! I've been to aestheticians all over the Bay Area, DC/DMV, NYC, and many places in between, and have spent upwards of $50 plus on single waxings at the best of the best in these big cities, but NO ONE has come CLOSE to the wonders Leslie performed on my brows during my years in Noho. Literally, her work makes that of every other aesthetician I've gone to seem mediocre at best and it's really unfortunate for me because I haven't lived in the PV region for.. 2 or so years now (I live in NYC--you would think a girl could have more comparable options!). I think the fact that I am writing a review 2 years after my last visit is a testament to Leslie's skills! She was also also super amiable/sweet/kind during my time in her space.

I don't li very here (yet), but was in desperate need of color and a cut. My schedule is spotty…read morewhile I'm here, so I looked at several m salons online, then decided on Salon 241 Bangor on State Street. I sent a contact message checking to see what was available, hoping to find someone good who could help me. Got a message back from Jonathan, asking what I was looking for. I explained my situation to him and he actually stayed after his day was done to fit me in. I wanted to see who he was and his experience, but he wasn't listed on the salon's website, so I googled him and found a review. It was an excellent review and I was so excited it would be someone who has great experience. I get to the salon and Jonathan was finishing up with the young lady before me. He did an amazing job on her hair and I knew I was in the right spot. All I can say is Jonathan knows hair, everything about hair. He did an amazing job coloring and cutting my hair with such precision. I immediately felt very comfortable with Jonathan. He's a great guy, with a heart of gold. He's also got a lot of great stories. I can't wait to move here and see him again. He is extremely talented, and he's a delight to be around! He's that stylist everyone looks for. I feel so blessed that he took the time to help me.

It's not as polished of an experience as I'm used to going to a spa, but once she gets her hands on you, the treatments stand on their own!

I was told that this was to be a quick and easy procedure? What? I had 3 degree burns on my face and that's all he could say?!! Oh did take a picture? I am still recovering from this and have been going to an excellent dermatologist in the area who has been working with me to repair this awful damage. Be aware if you have darker skin!

I do not have one complaint except that a couple of times I came right as they were leaving to eat lunch and because there is only one person, I felt guilty having them stay or I came back which messed up my schedule. So now I avoid lunch time and everything is fine. I've read through the comments here and most of the complaints seem to be based off of either henna (which I have no experience with) or that their eyebrows weren't done how they wished. I've been going here for almost two years and I am pretty clear about what I want "I just want my eyebrows cleaned up, angled here, and I want to keep them thick" and they do them perfectly. It is like going into a hair salon - if you want something specific you don't just step in and say "I want a haircut" and give no other information, you let them know exactly what you want. I would advise to give this place a try for the threading - they are super quick, professional, affordable, and as long as you are clear about what you want, they fulfill those requests!
