I had purchased a packet of 10 for eyebrows, upper lip, under arm, and Brazilian; and had prepaid…read more$1170. My 3rd visit was for a 2:30 appointment on 8 Feb 24, at the Columbia site. My aesthetician was Ciara. I had my eyebrows, lips, under arms and Brazilian done. At soon as I walked in, I can smell weed on her, especially as her hands were close to my face, and I smelled it on her breathing on me. But that's not the worst. It felt like I was the first customer because the wax was really hot. I had mentioned it to her several times that it was hot and she even told me that she noticed it so when she did my eyebrows but she continued to do my eyebrows and upper lips. She even put more wax on top even after she said that she notice it. I did keep on letting her know that it was still too hot. She asked if this was the first time I've had wax done, and I told her - no. I've been getting waxed for the last 25 years. When I got to my car to check my face, I had large noticeable burnt spots under my eyebrows, both left and right and over my upper lip, both left and right. I went back to the store to show the manager, Francesca Moreira, to complain about the burn spots from Ciara. The manager told me that it looks a little red; and when I told her to look closer and that Ciara actually burnt skin off, she told me that she was not certified to say so or not. It does not take a genius to see that skin was taken from the hot wax. There's a huge difference. I'm not sure how she is the manager of a team of aestheticians, and not certified just to see that Ciara, or other aestheticians, actually took skin off when Ciara waxed my eyebrows and upper lip. I had to ask to talk to the Regional Manager, Tony Badolato, but she only offered to provide me an email. I had to call back several times because she provided two incorrect emails where it was undeliverable because it didn't exist. Finally, the front desk provided me with the correct one. It took 3x times to get a hold of the regional manager. I had to go to work with burnt scabs on my face. I cried upset over the whole experience. Bottom line, I will not be coming back to any European Wax location. This experience destroyed any expectation I might have with any other aesthetician they might have on staff or the managers they hire who don't have training or is certified in the service they provide. If I could give ZERO stars, I would. I did get reimbursed but not until after I was asked to provide pictures for proof by the Regional Manager. It was a horrific experience. Never again.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Evelyn. I've been seeing her consistently for a year now…read moreand my skin is in the best shape it has been my entire adult life.

She was great and did a nice job on my legs and feet. She has strong hands and wanted to ensure she was applying the right amount of pressure while she was massaging my lower legs and feet. She put large slices of fresh cucumber on my legs then massage the mushy cucumber into your legs (see attached pic: left leg has cucumber slices on and right leg she had already started massaging the cucumber/juice). I loved that! Pedicure consisted of clean up, callus removal, mint mask, hot towel wrap and massage again with "butter". All the items seemed natural and smelled great. She also did a nice job in the color application. Will be back!

We walked back to the room and she sat me down and discussed my concerns, in-take paper work, and my overall skincare routine. During the facial she explained throughout what she was doing and it was one of the most relaxing facials I have ever had. I generally get facials done at my local med spa, however I will definitely incorporate Oja's into my routine. She addressed all my concerns such as acne and hyperpigmentation. The massage she gave during and the hand/feet masks were a fantastic touch. Afterwards, she went over all that she did and also what product she used. I was thoroughly impressed by how clean, organized, the customer service, and etc. 10/10 in service, ambiance, and overall value.

Great attention to detail! I also really like that you actually have the option to wax or sugar. I'm not picky, so my technician actually did both and I though the service was professional, quick, but thorough. I'm not a frequent hair removal gal but I\d come back! Street parking was hard to find so I ended up in a garage across the street which had a strange phone in/out system that I didn't love, but I didn't have to pay so I can't complain that much about that one little parking quirk.

I got my lower legs waxed for the first time EVER on Saturday. When I entered the shop, there was…read moreno one in the lobby to check in with so I hung around for about five minutes (I'd arrived about 10 minutes early, as the website says to do). There are Fiji water bottles in the lobby but no sign by them. I wasn't sure if they were included in the cost of the appointment or cost extra so I didn't take one. Maybe if I was bolder, I wouldve inquired. They sell a number of sugar scrubs and other products that you can use after your sugaring/waxing appointment at home. At 2:30pm, a technician came out with another customer who'd just finished and greeted me after closing out her appointment. I was definitely nervous but my technician put me at ease with light conversation and music (they let you choose what music you want when you schedule your appointment). I had initially made my appointment for sugaring but I was told that my hairs were too short and that wax would work better. I was a bit disappointed because I'd read about sugaring, but happy that my technician was able to provide good advice. It didn't hurt nearly as much as I expected it to. I was in and out in about 45 minutes with silky smooth legs.

The space is well appointed with lovely decor and there are items for purchase to enhance your skincare routine. I highly recommend if you are looking for a pleasant first time experience look no further. I can promise you you'll not want to go anywhere else or go back to your previous hair removal options.

And they don't grow back quickly. My eyebrow pencil and concealer skills can only stretch me but so far so I knew it was time for a clean up.

(did I spell that right the second time?) That is what you'll get when you visit Jennifer. She initially asked me how I like my brows. I like them thick just like me... oops getting off topic. Anywho, she executed my request perfectly. Eyebrows are still full and arched to perfection. She took her time to wax and then tweeze all of the misguided hairs. She followed up with filling in my brows with a brow pencil (totally optional). Spent so much time talking about my brows I forgot to mention I got my underarms waxed too. Underarms on fleek as well.

So my membership that started in September still has to be renewed in January for another $15. I am not renewing just to find out all the other ways they plan on screwing me over. The worst is the managers/owners are completely absentee and make the waxers do double duty at the front desk and take on the brunt of frustrated customers. Must be nice to sit in your palace funded by bad business practices and the labor of others. Speaking of the waxers, Christina is absolutely amazing and the best waxer I've ever had. She is efficient, minimizes pain, and produces clean and lasting results. She should be paid what the quality of her work deserves and she should be treated better.

I paid for my services prior, which I appreciate. Nothing like a bottle neck at the front desk, with all your patrons trying to pay at the same time. The decor in the Beauty Lab is beautiful. If it very minimalistic, homey and comfortable. Most importantly, it is very clean! In fact, the kind gentlemen at the front desk was cleaning when I arrived. Cleanliness is definitely very important for a waxing business, so I appreciated that! The wax room was very spacious and clean. Madi was an absolute sweetheart. She was very professional and the wax experience was amazing! She had me in and out in no time, which I definitely appreciated on this specific Saturday, because it was snowing and I wanted to get off the roads ASAP. Amazing business, amazing staff, amazing experience! You should really patronize this business. I assure you, you will not be disappointed!

It is located in the M&T building by Columbia mall. It is elegant and calming when with it's decorations. And very clean! The room is small with pretty purple walls and also very clean. She plays Zen type music so you remain relaxed and is full of light convo to keep your mind off things. Both front and back are included and believe me it's not as painful as you think. She is great and will make you want to make this a routine visit. I'm excited to go back and refer lol. If you call and get voicemail leave a message she is sure to callback and is uber polite.

After conversing with her, I learned that her mother Linda is the owner and that they have been in business for 14 years. They were formally located where the Chick-fil-A is a block away. Aside from Holly and Linda, there is one additional staff member, Kacie. There are three rooms, one on the lower level and two upstairs. In addition to the hair salon, they have a wax room and a suntan room on the upper level. They have complimentary coffee and chocolate candy, and provide magazines in the foyer. Additionally, they also sell hair care products. Holly was very outgoing and thorough. She straightened my baby hair which other places have not done, likely because they don't have a small-sized straightening iron. The price for my smoothing service was comparable to other salons that I have been to, however, this was the only salon that applied a 3% credit card transaction fee. I really enjoyed my experience at the salon and would highly recommend.
