    I booked an appointment for a facial with Meka. When I arrived I was told my appointment was with someone else. My appointment started 30 minutes late and was in a closet. The light in the closet stopped working when I was halfway undressed. The woman doing the facial clearly had never given one before. She poked me in the eye repeatedly. There was supposed to be a massage included and all she did was light rub some lotion on my feet and hands, no neck or head massage whatsoever even though it was advertised. When I complained the front desk staff told me jt wasn't her fault or her problem and told me I should be embarrassed for complaining to her. She then called me a bitch and told me to leave. I will never go back, extremely bad service all around. Regarding your comment below: This isn't a great start, starting with it lie. 1) yes I did, I was rebooking a canceled appointment with you and you acknowledged that it was with you via a text message, see picture. 2) interesting comment, it makes me wonder if you have had complaints about this person in the past. I did not question the credentials of the person who gave me the facial just the lack of professionalism and ability to make this an enjoyable experience. 3) It looked like a closet to me, it was small and the esthetician could only stand on one side of the table. The lighting did not work properly, I had to find my way to the table in total darkness as the light stopped working as I was undressing. There was no ventilation, it is basically a closet you've retrofitted to be a service room. 4) The fact you've written are true but there's a lot more to it than that including ... asking to speak to you to discuss, challenging the service I was given and not getting a reasonable (never mind professional response) 5) If am surprised you would chose to do that without calling me. I urge you to reconsider your threats and consider professionalism and retraining. I also made a deposit on this service, so it is hardly as if I have paid nothing. I could also make threats about slander. Consider this... being called a bitch and told to get out in such circumstances is threatening behaviour and something I found extremely hostile and made me want to get out of there asap. I can't quite believe that upon hearing your front desk staff called me a bitch and told me my complaints weren't her problem that you did not immediately pick up the phone. Reading your other replies on here though I see this is just how you do business. No attempts to rectify bad service, just slandering clients who call out poor experiences.

    My eyebrows 2/10/19 with no makeup

    Meka, I'm sorry that you didn't read my entire review. I've added an additional photo of what my eyebrows look like today, before I put makeup on. As you can see, *there is no trace of microblading on my brows*. This is why I'm not going to pay for a touch up. It didn't take. It's not about being frugal -- for one, you have different promotions every month, and as I've said before, my eyebrows require complete re-drawing, and there's no guarantee it would work the second time. I chose your spa for reasons that I listed in my first review, but if I were to ever do this again, I would spend *more money* to go to another spa that had more than one licensed microblading specialist, so that if I was unhappy with my results, there would be more accountability.

    I had a great facial, and she was very knowledgeable. My teeth whitening however wasn't so great. I'd return for the facials though.

    Ask the Community - Skin Beauty Bar

    Do you have any deals for multiple services? I'm wondering about getting a series of facial or peels. Thank you!

    Hello Sarah: We do not offer any discount for a series of facials or peels.

    What do you do when you tint the eyebrows ? I'm a first timer and I'm not sure if I want to do microblading

    We tint your brows to mimic a fuller shape.

    Thanks, Meka! One more question; is the $150 touch-up price applicable no matter how long it takes a customer to need one? My microblading fades very slowly so I only need a touch-up maybe once or twice a year.

    Sorry, to rephrase my question - how much are touch-ups if I became a customer? haha

    $150

    How much is a microblading touch-up?

    Hi there: We do not touch up microblading to clients that we did not originally microblade

I arrived early, at 9:24 a.m., ready for my appointment. A woman came out from the back and told me they couldn't take me today because they didn't have a front desk person. No one called, texted, or emailed to cancel or reschedule. When I asked why no one reached out, she looked at me and said, "Girl, bye." I responded, "Wow, that's unprofessional," and she slammed the door in my face. That level of behavior is completely unacceptable--especially for a business in a professional setting that relies on scheduled appointments. I took time out of my morning to show up on time, only to be disrespected and dismissed. Approximately ten minutes later, I received a call from the European Wax Center number. The person on the line said, "If you want, you can come back." I asked, "Are you the same person who just closed the door in my face?" and the caller immediately hung up the phone on me. This location is nowhere near as professional as the Capitol Hill branch, which is organized, courteous, and communicates clearly. If this is how the Navy Yard office operates, it's going to be a nightmare for clients. I highly recommend going to the Capitol Hill location until management addresses the unprofessionalism and lack of communication here.

I made appointments for us at this location. We were able to get afternoon appointments for the date we selected. When that date rolled around, I was given a call about coming in earlier due to the parade that was supposed to be happening. (I won't mention who the parade was for). Once I mentioned we weren't locals, I was told whenever you get here we'll take you right back. We were greeted upon arrival and offered water. It was a short wait for our esthetician and our facials soon began. The one thing that I love is that my esthetician was black (every time we visit | even at the other location). I felt very much at ease and she really knew what she was doing. My facial was sooo relaxing and my skin came out feeling so refreshed. She really listened to what I needed for my skin. My cousin loved her facial and she looked really dewy and glowy afterwards. The young lady at the desk even gave her skincare product advice. We will definitely be back if DuPont Circle is not available. My only concern is when making the appointment, I had no way of letting them know that my cousin has her own membership, so they had to cancel her appointment and reschedule it under her own account. (I pay for both memberships!)
