My opinion of the business shifted when I dealt with the owner Monica. She plasterers on a fake…read moresmile, but there is a vibe with her that's very off putting. She provided my service, but it seemed more like a chore. She kept saying things that made it seem like she was trying to get out of doing my wax. Weird. I also had my brows done by Jeanette. They came out okay, but the energy with her was off as well. She got some wax in my hair and asked IF SHE COULD CUT IT OFF!!!!! I informed her that oil removes the wax, she grudgingly obliged and indignantly said "it worked" once my hair was free from her error. I also miss Giselle at reception! She was so fab and made you feel like you were in Beverly Hills at an exclusive boutique. I haven't felt the same treatment from any other receptionist. ::sigh:: Sometimes good things go bad...and sometimes bad things seem good for a little while. Won't be back!

The waxing experience is swift. The studio and salon rooms are clean. The team is thoughtful and pleasant.

I promise you will understand my steadfast loyalty to this minority and woman-owned business!

The girl did a terrible job and one side was just as gray as it was when I went in. I complained about it and the manager told me that I could come back and pay 50% of the price I had paid initially for them to do it again. I complained within a week of them doing the service, but they said I was beyond the period for them to do it for no charge. I get my brows done at Ulta and other places and never had this problem. They always cover the gray to my satisfaction. I initially agreed to go and decided not to. Why should I pay them a second time for something that they did not get right the first? I won't be going back.

There's something really special about this team -- it never feels like just an appointment, it…read morefeels like coming home to family. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and full of genuine care. You're not just another client; you're known, remembered, and looked after. What truly sets them apart is the creativity and knowledge that runs through the entire team. There's a real sense that they're constantly learning, evolving, and sharing ideas with one another -- you can feel that collaborative energy in the way they work. It's not just about doing hair, it's about understanding people, style, and what actually works in real life. Maria, my hairdresser, is a perfect example of that expertise. She really understands my hair type -- especially having thick hair -- and knows exactly how to shape and manage it so it looks great but is also easy for me to handle day-to-day. That balance between style and practicality is rare, and she gets it every time. It's the combination of talent, creativity, and genuine connection that makes this team stand out. You leave not just looking better, but feeling better too.

Now, the space is beautiful and not for those with limited mobility (steps). But the space is like a hidden oasis and beautiful. It's calming the moment you get in. Jackie did my facial and it was Red Bloom's signature facial called the Restore facial which includes extractions. Jackie was AMAZING! She's got a magic touch, the facial comes with a face massage, I fell asleep, it was an amazing facial and so needed. My skin looks alive, fresh, energized, clean, and I love it.

The gel colors are varied, and there's quite a large choice of colors for regular mani/pedis. The price is very decent.
