Wendy guided me in (door between "Hatch" and "Nest," go up one floor and turn left) and I found a very small but cozy space that was sparkling clean, tastefully decorated, and calming. Wendy herself was an absolute love. She made sure to check in with me frequently during my two procedures, she was polite, friendly, and just the right kind of chatty. Her technique was gentle and, while not painless because somebody is putting hot wax on your flesh and tearing out hair at the root, minimally painful. I have only had a couple of previous waxing experiences, but this was by far the best. I am in town on vacation so sadly I will not be a regular client, but if I did, I would be.

I loved having someone I've known for years be there to help me look and feel my best on one of the most important days of my life. These ladies are absolutely the best, and I recommend them and their business to everyone! Do yourself a favor and book an appointment!

Rae is one fantastic esthetician, I have been seeing Rae for all of my waxing and facial needs. Rae is always professional, caring, and kind.
