Review Edit: they…read moredoubled down on not apologizing which is really the bare bare minimum. Tldr; I would not recommend this place for waxing services, but the eyebrow threading was nice, and other customers rave about the hair services. I went 2x on the same day: first appointment was eyebrow threading & lip/chin waxing. It went ok enough that I came back for a full body wax including Brazilian. The second appointment did not go so well. The same person did both and she was so sweet, but I don't think waxing is her specialty. The *application* of the wax hurt. Outside of the bikini area they use the handheld rollers instead of fresh sticks, and they kept pulling and pinching and did not go on evenly. Waxing doesn't feel like a picnic anyway, and we had such nice conversation, so I let this slide. For the bikini area they do use fresh sticks. As she left she mentioned I had "a little bruising" because my "skin is sensitive." When she left and I was getting dressed, I saw how bad the bruising was, and I was bleeding where my skin *tore open down there.* This was not a follicle here and there bleeding where one hair came out, I had a 1/2 inch section of skin that was open and bleeding. If I moved my leg it could "talk." This was complemented by substantial bruising on my thigh: very visible/impossible to hide in a bathing suit. This is the day before I'm going on a beach vacation. So I am now very upset. As I'm checking out she mentioned giving me a discount on my *next* appointment which made me irate. The skin I had only *just* looked at when the service ended, she had fully seen during the service. The results were impossible to miss. It's a pretty bold assumption to think I would come back after the bleeding and bruising I got. When I started to freak out, the staff said they would wave the charge for underarm waxing as a one time courtesy ($15) and acted like they were doing me a favor. Then they asked me about if my hair is curly or not which was so confusing to me. Turns out they were writing a gift certificate for a blowout, which... huh? I didn't come for a blowout and wasn't upset about a hair service? (And again it was a bold assumption that I would come back *another time* instead of making sure I felt ok while I was standing there). When I had arrived, customers were raving about their hair. So maybe this is more of a hair Salon? Which makes sense why they'd push a blowout on me. But very strange to do that in this scenario. I felt uncomfortable escalating because the lady who did my waxing was so nice: I didn't want to hurt her feelings or make her feel bad, and she had another client there waiting for threading. There was no such concern for *my* feelings. No "I'm sorry" or "can I see how bad the bruising is?" or "if it's bleeding, we have bandaids/first aid." Maybe they are used to seeing this so it's not a big deal to them (yikes) but it was a big deal to me to have my bikini line botched before a big trip. I can forgive a hair stylist not knowing how to do waxing, but then don't offer those services if your people are not trained to do them at the same standard as your hair services. And if that service is botched: own it and try to make it right during that visit. Don't ask the client to come another day for a completely unrelated service. Don't tell the client nothing is wrong when it clearly, visibly is. Don't blame it on the clients skin: as sensitive as my skin may be, I've never had bleeding or bruising like this, and I was a training model at a cosmetology school getting waxed by trainees! Plus at that point I just wanted to go to urgent care considering the only aftercare advice I got from them was to "put Vaseline on" and I had a hunch that was insufficient. At urgent care they gave me stick-on sutures to *hold my skin together* so it heals with less scarring, and I got RXs for both topical and oral antibiotics to prevent infection since the open cut is on a sensitive area. And just in case you, reader, or the business have questions: Q: "The staff tried to make you happy, maybe you are really hard to please" A: Here is the bare minimum to make a client happy in that situation: - Apologize. I can't believe this needs to be said. - Credit the *botched* service in full. Not a different service. The service that was botched. - Never blame the client, or the clients body/skin, for a poor service rendered. - Acknowledge some re-training is necessary so this doesn't happen to someone else Q: This doesn't sound like us, you must have made it up! A: I have the geolocated pictures I took at the salon while I was still in the room, and more at home after urgent care placed the stick on sutures. I won't post private pictures online, but if you really want to see I can email them to management.

I've been to a LOT of salons over the years and I've dyed my hair probably much more than I should have, so when I first went to Melissa my hair was dry and damaged from over processing. She's always been able to lighten my hair without damaging it. Now that I've gone dark again, she's mixed custom colors for me to give me exactly what I want. i always trust her to give me advice when I'm on the fence about what to do with my hair. And, a year later, my hair is long and super healthy, and it's been a decade since that's happened for me! Everyone else at the salon is also very friendly and it's just a pleasant environment overall. I would definitely recommend this salon.
