I've been to many different places, but none of those experiences even come close to Laura's technique. If you've ever had a Brazilian wax before, you know they can be painful, but somehow Laura makes the experience quick, comfortable, and as painless as possible. Her studio is warm and welcoming, there's plenty of *FREE* parking right out front and she always has the best music playing to help you relax before she starts. She's got the best energy, and will make you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. I can't recommend Laura enough. So take my word for it, for all your waxing needs, legs, arms, brows, and especially Brazilians. Whether you're looking for a new wax specialist or thinking about getting your first Brazilian, do yourself a favor and book with Laura. You'll come back and thank me later!

Skin By Brittany

This review is long overdue!…read more I started seeing Brittany for facials almost a year ago, and have seen consistent results in the texture and condition of my skin. Over the past year I saw her regularly for hydrofacials and dermaplaning. I recently just did my first biorepeel and was astounded at the results. Even my male coworkers were asking me what I had done to my skin because it had such great results. Also, Brittany has consistently recommended SPF and skincare products that met my concerns and budget, again leaving me with products that I felt actually improved my skin with noticeable results. Brittany is a warm and kind person who I feel like genuinely cares about her clients and their skincare goals. Anyone would be lucky to incorporate visits to her as part of their skincare routine!

Just wanted to update my review because Skin by Brittany is AMAZING!…read more Had myself a much needed massage with @skinbybrittany__ today. The past few weeks have been extremely stressful, and my body was begging me for a reset! A little back story... I have always been extra sensitive when it came to physical touch. I could never get a massage because I was too ticklish and the feeling of knots on my body made me cringe! A few years ago, I booked a massage with @skinbybrittany__ . She knew my situation and let me know that if at any point I started to feel uncomfortable, we could stop. She was the most gentle and most professional massage therapist I have ever encountered! She literally took away my fear of massages (crazy enough, it really was a fear of mine). My body is thanking me right now, after my AMAZING massage with Brittany today. I'm telling you... book your appointment with her now! You won't regret it! She's also responsible for my amazing skin! She gives the best facials and I am loving my new skin care routine! Thank you so much, @skinbybrittany__

Delane's Natural Nail Care

I had the best nail experience of my life at Delane's Natural Nail Salon, all thanks to Brandi…read more From the second I walked in it was different. Nobody rushed me with "hello what do you want" or shoved a color wall in my face before I even sat down. I actually felt like a person, not just another number to get in and out. It wasn't until I was sitting there that I realized how used to bad treatment I'd gotten. Other salons trained me without me even noticing, packed into a tiny space, treated like I'm on a conveyor belt, rushed out before my nails even had time to properly dry. I had honestly forgotten my time and my experience mattered. Delane's brought that back for me. The professionalism was on another level too. No games with the price going up if you don't tip in cash, which is honestly tacky and rude and tells you exactly how little they think of their customers. Nobody crowding me in next to three other people either. It was calm, it was peaceful, it actually felt relaxing instead of stressful. And the cleanliness. Towels were fresh, equipment looked properly cleaned, none of that murky blue water sitting in a dirty container that's clearly been there for who knows how long. Even the bathroom was clean, and that alone tells you a lot about how a place is really run. Once you go to Delane's and get treated with that kind of value and respect, you won't want to go back to anywhere else. And honestly, you shouldn't have to. Ask for Brandi.

I recently moved to the neighborhood and was on the lookout for a new go-to spot for my eyebrow threading. I decided to try out Salon Aphrodite, and I'm so glad I did! Asha was incredibly professional and made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. The salon itself is spotless, and the timing was prompt--no long waits! But the best part? My eyebrows are absolutely banging! Asha did an amazing job shaping them to perfection.

They have a 15 min grace window and I was about 10 min late. I told her I wanted a lob and my bangs trimmed (my bangs were how I liked and just needed a trim). Before she cut I said I just want to make sure I can put my hair up. So I was thinking maybe like 3-4 inches below my shoulder is where I pointed to start at the front part because the back would be shorter. She started cutting super fast and literally cut off all my hair in probably 10 minutes. I've tried 4 different stylists here now(2 others left), but her technical skills were ones I haven't seen in ages. Long story short, she cut my hair SUPER short, a little above my shoulder and so I told her to stop because it was too short and a lob would make it even shorter. So it's just hair, but it was not what I wanted and not the length. Then she butchered my bangs and made them too short as well. Then when I got home, I noticed pieces that weren't cut, so I went back(apprehensive) and said please just cut that off and asked if she knew how to thin out the more bulky part of my bangs- specifying the technique other stylist do, where they twist little bits of hair and thin it with sheers) and THEN further said DO NOT MAKE IT SHORTER.. then she took our the serrated scissors which do thin out hair but I literally haven't had a hair stylist since maybe I was 10 and getting my hair cut at Supercuts. And she had me close my eyes and then she cut them even shorter. It was hands down my worst experience here. I've had 2 good stylists here and 2 bad and the only reason I didn't book the last stylist was bc she was booked that time. I wanted my hair to look fresh and cute for my Trip and now I'll be hiding it as best I can in a corgi tail pony and trying to hide these butchered bangs. Oh and she is very pushy on re booking the appointment and I even said I don't think my hair will even be at a length that I like in 2 or 3 months. She didn't seem very apologetic or aware of the annoyance. Cut-1 Friendly and salon atmosphere- 5
