I was a little hesitant to try sugaring after getting hard-wax Brazilians for years, but she immediately put me at ease. She thoroughly explained the entire process, the benefits of sugaring, and the importance of proper aftercare to help me get the best possible results. To my surprise, sugaring was significantly less painful than traditional waxing, and the results lasted much longer than I expected with minimal regrowth. I can confidently say I'm a client for life! Her location is conveniently located with plenty of parking. The treatment room is beautifully decorated and feels just as warm and welcoming as Sydney herself. Her website and online booking system are easy to navigate, with clear descriptions of each service, making scheduling simple and stress-free. On top of that, her pricing is very reasonable, and she frequently offers fantastic specials. I highly recommend Sydney to anyone considering sugaring or looking for a skilled, professional esthetician.

It doesn't get better than this. Tops it off that she's beautiful inside and out, skillful, and just the absolutely best esthetician that you can find in the area. The studio itself so chic and modern, but most importantly of all, it's CLEAN. That is so important. Clean and sanitize is key here. It always smells amazing inside, not dirty not like anything burning or melting. Love her playlist because it gives you something distracting when you're getting hair ripped off your fragile body parts. You can book appointments online and see her work on her Instagram, or you can take my word for it because she's simply amazing. Hard wax gets everything done and she's so detail oriented. My wax queen, but best of all, she's the TWEEZE QUEEN. She gets all the ingrowns and the hair that breaks off. She teaches you post care and does her best to ensure that she gets all the hair. No rush at all and I never feel pain. The wax is amazing and I see a difference in how the hair grows back. She uses two different types of hard wax on me just because my hair grows differently. She applies great pressure, especially on my sensitive spots. Best of all, she always remembers you from the last session and makes a huge effort to stay consistent. I can't speak highly enough of her. She does amazing work and my Brazilians are always A1. I see her religiously every four weeks and she doesn't even try to up sell you things or make you come sooner. She really does care about her patients. Parking is easy, there's a lot right behind the building and it's easy to find. She knows when you arrive so if the shades are drawn, she's probably with another customer at the moment. But she'll pop her head out and acknowledge that you're there. She takes cash and square- but I always believe if you can cash her out do it. Got to support out go-getters and cheers to entrepreneurs.

First, I have to start by saying THANK YOU so much Kenya. You have completely changed my skin and I am absolutely, 100% loving it. I have never seen my skin so flawless, I didn't think it was possible for me to have clear, acne free, hyperpigmentation free skin. I've gone to dermatologists and tried other aestheticians and I have to say you provided the most and best results I've ever seen in roughly four months. How? I woke up this morning and was just amazed and decided I needed to write you a review. I cannot believe how beautiful I am now. For a long time I looked at myself as being unattractive and hated the skin I was in. I am 37 years old and this is the first time in my life that I truly, truly feel beautiful and comfortable in my skin. You helped me with my skin care, diet, and confidence. I learned from you just how much my diet played a huge role in my skin. Thank you so much Kenya I'm looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks for my maintenance facial. Ladies and gents I HIGHLY recommend Kenya. If you're looking for facials, waxing services, brow shaping/tinting service she definitely has you covered. Kenya is my skin care girl 100% forever. read more

Absolutely one of the best experiences I've ever had. I booked 3 services, A Brazilian, vagacial, and a facial... The Brazilian wax was extremely gentle oddly. I don't believe I've ever had a Brazilian wax that was as gentle as the one I received. The Vagacial was a "wow" experience for me. I didn't know you could get a facial for down there. My skin was so smooth and shiny, and so far I haven't gotten an ingrown hair. The facial was relaxing and refreshing. When I walked in to see Kenya my skin was dry and dull. When the facial was over my skin looked so full of life. I also purchased an ingrown serum from her that smells really good and seems to be working. My boyfriend used it more than I do for the bumps he gets on his face and chin from shaving. He seems to enjoy the results. Kenya is very professional, knowledgeable, has great conversation, and has a way of making you feel as if you've known her for years. I'm looking forward to booking my next sessions at Royal Complexion Parlor. read more

OMG, I signed up just to leave a review for Kenya! I went to her based off an advertisement I seen on Instagram yesterday. I sent her a message and she was able to get me in quickly. I've been getting waxed for at least 15 years and I have NEVER been to anyone that provided me an absolutely painless wax experience. I didn't know painless hair removal services existed, especially for my hooch! Her touch is so soft you don't realize she's touching you and gee golly she is thorough & FAST! I Mean really fast! I've been waxed by some pretty fast waxers but none like her. She had me thinking "I just laid down 45 seconds ago, we're done already" I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that I found you & tried you out Kenya. You The BOMB girl & I love your energy! You definitely have gained a new client for life (as long as I can get to you easily) Thank you so much, see you in 6 weeks. read more

Kenya is amazing! I should have wrote this review a few weeks back. I normally go to the European Wax Center but was referred to Kenya by a colleague. When I arrived she said I was in the last group of clients she was taking due to COVID19. I was so thankful I contacted her on the very last day her shop was open. After experiencing Kenya, I definitely will not be going back to the European Wax Center. The wax she uses is pretty painless. I was expecting my Brazilian wax to be the worse, but was very surprised when she ripped my hairs out and I had absolutely no reaction. I also received my 1st Vajacial, wow, wow, wow! I absolutely loved the after results. Thank you Kenya, so glad I found you. As stated to you the day of my appointment, you've definitely gained a new client. Thank you so much. read more

First off, this space is accessible. Even though this location is near CV High there is always parking available and there is a private parking lot! So one of my typical stressors (and likely yours) is lifted! Second, Heather is super accommodating, I emphasized that I have sensitive skin and she gave me a free consultation before I had my first real facial. This gave me the opportunity to test her products and see how she treated her clientele before I booked an official appointment, but when I did I was not disappointed. In fact, my skin felt supple, dewey and I was glowing! (And trust me, this is difficult. I have severe eczema and it is hard to trust anyone, but my dermatologist with my skin.), but with Heather's patience and help I was able to get a full facial and feel the most relaxed and fresh than I have ever felt in the longest time. I definitely will return! :) Tl;dr - Skin & Ink by Heather is an excellent one-stop shop even for those with the most sensitive or reactive skins. She will work with you to make sure you get the highest value for your dollar and the best results possible. Can't wait until my next facial!
