I booked a Brazilian Wax on their website and it was extremely easy, they take credit card information when you book in case you don't show or late cancellation fee.

She made me feel so comfortable as it had been a while since I had a wax done. I highly recommend her as I have been back to her a total of 4 times. Will definitely keep coming back as long as I can!

I'd definitely recommend to book with her; as I'll unquestionably be doing!

I have noticed recently that my eyebrows are disappearing. This, sadly, happens to most women,…read moreespecially if you plucked the living hell out of them in the 90s in a sad attempt to stay fashionable. I was considering my options because drawing them in daily is a pain. Especially when you can't see without readers. I scheduled a consultation with Preet to discuss microblading and other more permanent options, and added on a tinting session to walk out with something tangible. I had to go to the Tosa location to see her, which was a hike. She mentioned that she might start adding hours on the East side, which would be great, as she is the only one who performs the advanced services. The shop is pretty spare, but Preet explained all the safety techniques she uses to ensure a hygienic experience. She was friendly, thorough and unrushed. We talked procedures, colors, etc. I may pull the trigger eventually, but this is not a cheap service. I did get a tint done and my first threading. It went well. She didn't have the color I wanted for the "permanent" eyebrows, but I did walk out with more definition, a pleasing shape and a good overall feeling.

My waxing session was done by Happy, who was super kind and very thorough! I appreciated that she used new wooden waxing sticks after each use.

Even their regular full priced services are more affordable than a lot of the other local axing and threading shops in the area.

I agree that the salon is not much to look at from the outside - almost missed it when I was…read moreheading to my appointment - plus the only way to enter the parking lot is from the side street, so I was pulling a couple U-turns to get in. I was gifted with a certificate and was happily surprised to find an Aveda salon right here in Wauwatosa! I wanted a massage, but they no longer offer them. So, I opted for a new service I've never had before - a facial! I made an appointment for a 90-minute Dual Exfoliation Peel and was paired with Lisa, who is absolutely incredible. Lisa walked me through every step of the process as I was a newbie. Starting with changing into a sarong, slipped, and comfy robe, we did a foot soak and light foot/leg massage. Then back to the private room where I laid on the table. The lights were turned down to a calming level which was nice. The one really off-putting thing in this otherwise calming room was the ceiling - there were HUGE brown water stains on the ceiling tiles that were absolutely disgusting. It's not hard to replace a few tiles, so that surprised me. Luckily my eyes were closed most of the time. Also the music wasn't particularly relaxing with drum beats and chanting sometimes. She started with a "sensory journey" where I got to choose an oil scent I found pleasing out of three. Then she exfoliated my whole face with a nice scrub, really focusing on getting the dead skin layer off and not just "petting" my face with the product. Between each mask I got a hot towel, which was heavenly being wiped on my neck and face. We did a chemical peel (not like you're picturing, remember Aveda is all natural and vegan!) where the cooling part was first, and the second was a nice warming sensation. The facial even including a light neck massage and she did a wonderful job on my arms and hands. The results were shocking - I did look smooth and refreshed, and learned more about proper skincare routines for my skin. I 100% absolutely recommend this salon, this service, and I want to be friends with Lisa - she was so friendly and great! The price tag was very high for regular treatments ($150 for the 90 minute treatment) so I don't know when I'd be able to afford to come back - but they did a wonderful job. They also have a full Aveda shop in the front to stock up on your products, really nice to not have to go into Mayfair or to pay shipping. ProTip - if you're a first timer mention the $20 discount on the website!

Gave the owner/manager an opportunity to rectify this very upsetting experience, but she became defensive, indicating she would "discuss with staff at their next meeting". Really? How unprofessional and inappropriate. I get my hair done faithfully every 6-8 weeks and never need extra product. The stylist begged to style my hair, which consisted of using her hands to twist my wet hair. This was $27 up-charge unbeknown to me! Had I taken a picture of the discarded "extra" product mentioned, I would have posted as it was about 1/3 of a bowl. Clearly appeared to have been dispensed for the extra $$ which wasn't needed or used. Would have given an extra star had I not been taken advantage of. Seems as if it was a communication issue. But the fact remains, when the owner/manager is given an opportunity to rectify and does nothing, says a lot for that business on how they treat clients. #1 attribute in any successful business is customer service. They do, however give new clients a sample "gift bag" which consists of some of the samples Aveda gives when you purchase sets or liters. So to ease my mind, I felt as if I purchased the gift bag. Note: They do offer a $20 coupon on their website to new clients. Thank goodness I remembered or I would have been even more disappointed. The stylist should acknowledge new clients with this advertised promotion. Luckily I mentioned it after the shocking total cost was announced. Hopefully this helps others be aware of silent uncharges and hopefully getting what you need or want and not more.
