Through it all, my skin went on a rollercoaster ride, but thanks to their expertise and care, my face and back remained glowy, hydrated, and healthy. What truly sets them apart is their incredible accommodation--whether it was making room for my big pregnant belly during treatments or being patient and understanding when I had my infant son in tow. Their kindness, skill, and attention to detail made every visit a moment of self-care and relief. If you're looking for someone who understands hormonal skin changes and tailors treatments with a gentle yet effective approach, Paper Moon Beauty is the place to go. Highly recommend!

I was debating writing this, I haven't had this bad of nails in a very long time. I had scheduled a…read moregelx and had to reschedule, I quickly agreed to the new date and didn't realize that it rescheduled to just gel, which I take accountability for not completely reading the full message. She worked around it and called her boss (next client) to see if she could come a little later. My baby was with me due to unforeseen circumstances and it was a little awkward. The owner showed her a Barbie doll and was helpful toward that situation. My nails she messed up on didn't put the bonding glue on a nail and continued. They seemed fine till I left and noticed 2 of the nails completely crooked and when messaged about it she said she adjusted the tip for nail bed and Is out of town and to file it cause that's what she would do. My other fingers were straight, never had a problem before. It was on a Friday and by Monday a couple of the nails were falling off and broken. I don't do much with my hands so for 80$ nails and 20$ tip, to fall off within less than 3 days isn't great. I have paid way less and they lasted longer and looked better and if not they would have me come back in and take off the nail and re-do it. A second one split 5 days in, they looked rushed and not put on correctly

She gave me the whole run down of waxing and what is right and I felt very educated. Through the first strip I thought it was going to make me clench or squeal and I didn't even think too because it was not as painful as I thought it would be once it was done. It was the easiest experience yet a bit an uncomfortable feeling of the wax it still went perfectly and I would definitely 100% do it again.

So to be fair this happened a while ago but I was just reminded of the experience recently and it…read moremade me pretty upset again I went in for my first bikini/brazillian wax ever, and apparently the hair was not quite long enough to do an effective wax. she told me this but then still went through with the wax, and it was awful. it hurt so bad, and it didn't work because my hair wasn't long enough. so she didn't do the entire thing, and then used tweezers at the end to get the rest of the hair. I was in pain for a week after that, and had a terrible reaction. Curious why she would continue through with a service knowing it wasn't under the proper conditions. She also still charged me full price, even though she couldn't do the full service. I haven't gotten a wax since this because it was such a bad experience.

She recommended Vanessa and gave me her number and passed on my two blonde colors. I couldn't get in until Friday before my important weekend with Filoli Gardens. I was to demo watercolors for two days. Vanessa did my hair and she did a beautiful job EXCEPT she used the WRONG COLOR and I ended up with Ash/mousey brown hair! It made me look DEAD! I called her and she wanted me to come right down but I had NO extra time! I quickly put on a Frosting cap and lightened it in sections. Some parts are brassy so I washed it with purple shampoo to soften it. I used to frost for years. I paid Vanessa $174 including tip. Because "I" touched it she would not help me! If she put in the wrong combination she should stand up to it!

My hair had grown back curly and crazy and I had no idea what to do with it. I didn't come in with an idea of what I wanted done, just that I wanted to feel more like myself on my upcoming wedding day. Megan advised a Keratin treatment and extensions, neither of which I had done before. With these options, I was able to style my hair without having to cut any of it off (something I really didn't want to do). I feel more like myself than I have in over two years and it truly is Megan's expertise to thank! I can't recommend her enough to anyone going through something similar.
