Alexandra (the owner and esthetician) and her colleague, Kari (the massage therapist) were both so thorough, gentle, and attuned to what my friends and I wanted and needed for our facials and massages. They took such good care of us in a way that I can't put into words. Did I also mention how they closed down their whole shop and provided drinks and snacks for all of us for the day? They really went above and beyond--not only in the services they offered but also their overall hospitality.

The salon is bright and inviting and the staff is incredible. I'm always greeted by Elliott's big smile and super charm. She is always so sweet and I love chatting with her in the waiting room. Shymell is an absolute doll and one hell of a waxer! I've been seeing Shymell since last October and every experience has been wonderful. Of course this isn't a painless experience, but Shymell makes the environment really comfortable and quick. Shymell is so fun and easy to talk to. It really feels like I'm chatting with an old friend during our sessions. She is clean, thorough and articulate. In the past, I've found that previous waxers have left quite a bit of hair from time to time. Nothing will ever be perfect and there will always been fine hairs left behind, but Shymell makes sure that there is virtually no hair left. I love that the salon carries many of the products that are used as well as other trinkets like greeting cards. You might be able to find cheaper prices elsewhere for the same services, but you won't find this kind of high quality service and care anywhere else. Ashley and her team have done a swell job with this waxing studio. I'm so grateful to have them around. Thank you for all that you do!

I have never experienced something this unprofessional during a service, especially one as intimate…read moreas a Brazilian wax. This was my first Brazilian, and instead of creating a calm, supportive environment, Meena became visibly agitated and began loudly ranting about political issues related to her home country, then she began yelling. Her tone escalated to the point where it felt aggressive. I was lying exposed on the table during this. I expressed that I was uncomfortable, and I had to be the one to regulate her emotions, while she stopped speaking so loudly and intensely, the energy in the room shifted in a way that felt tense and hostile for the remainder of the appointment. A Brazilian wax requires a high level of trust. Clients are physically vulnerable and often anxious, especially the first time. Emotional regulation and professionalism are not optional in that setting. At the end of the service, while I was still in a vulnerable state, she took out her phone and began showing me graphic videos, including footage of people being killed. Being shown violent content during a waxing appointment is completely inappropriate and deeply distressing. I did not consent to being exposed to graphic material, and it was extremely uncomfortable. I was also given zero aftercare instructions despite clearly stating this was my first Brazilian. No guidance about heat exposure, friction, exfoliation timing, or what to expect post-wax. Within 24 hours, I developed significant redness across the area. Without aftercare direction, I was left anxious about whether this reaction was normal. This experience felt emotionally unsafe and lacked basic professional boundaries. A service that intimate should feel calm, respectful, and supportive -- not tense, aggressive, and unpredictable. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, because clients deserve safety and professionalism in spaces like this

As usual, I'm glad they don't use the tool that is like a sander to remove gel, and instead they properly soak in acetone and cotton, and then remove, so it's less damaging to the nails. I'll be back again soon as this is my regular nail spot. I recommend if you are looking for an affordable, high quality, and vegan friendly salon!

She talked me through the entire process, made me feel completely comfortable, and clearly has a passion for what she does.
