I was running a little late due to traffic accident and Mariko was very understanding. The place is very clean, cute and cozy. When I got there, Mariko offered me coffee, tea, or water which was nice. She also did my consultation and made me feel at ease with the whole process since this was my first time. She was honest too and helped me pick the proper treatment for me instead of just trying to get me to spend more. Since I do have dark hair, she explained my outcome will be more successful than someone who has light hair such as blonde or red hair. She also answered all my questions and was easy to talk with. I decided to go through with doing my first treatment and it was a lot better than expected. There's a package deal that includes 5 treatments which I booked. I also got a 10% discount for being a student which was a nice surprise. Mariko was amazing and talked me through each step and I think her techniques were so good which also made it not so painful. She explained both machines to me prior and did a sample test on herself before doing it on me. Most of the spots didn't even hurt, and the laser felt like hot air. The parts that stung it was really quick and she placed an ice pack right over which helped a lot. I did my armpits, brazilian, and lower legs and whole process took about an hour. She was very professional and I'm happy she was my laser tech. She also gave me some aloe in case I had itching afterwards, which I didn't, and sunscreen samples. Highly recommend Mariko and can't wait to have my future treatments with her!

Luxura Aesthetic Medical Spa...it happened again…read more I had an appointment schedule here at the Charlottesville location. My appointment was scheduled for noon today. I received a confirmation on my appointment. When I arrived at 1145, I was informed that my appointment had been cancelled by a staff member who works at the spa. I was informed that they use a third party to schedule appointments and this sometimes happens. This is the second time it's happened to me! The receptionist was very rude and not at all apologetic or helpful. I drove 35 minutes to be turned away again! Bad business!

We'll call it the "I'm late to catch a cab uptown" massage experience…read more Don't get me wrong, there were a few good elements of the massage I had here. But overall, the massage therapist (who shall go unnamed - if the spa manager reads this, that's enough for me) didn't take time with his work. In past massages, the strokes were deliberate and focused; this was not that. I'd have liked him to take more time with each area of the body rather than rushing through everything. A few tidbits: - He tossed the massage oil bottle on the table where my legs were. That is a huge no-no in my book. - He was seated the entire massage. As someone who likes very firm pressure--bordering on getting the snot beat out of me--there's no way to do that without standing. - The first 10 minutes featured him rubbing every which way on my back - *without massage oil. This was extremely uncomfortable and I told him so. It's a couple hours later and my skin is still sore. (As soon as I turn in to a pork chop, a dry rub will make sense; in the meantime, lotion/oil from the beginning.) - When you're slap happy and rushy-rushy, you're more apt to hit bone occasionally, and that happened too. This rating is for the massage only. The staff was very nice to me and the place is pleasant enough to be in--so it has that going for it. I don't anticipate transforming in to a cut of meat, so I'll probably go elsewhere next time for a massage.

I've been here at least twice. The first time it was hard to get an appointment. The second time,…read moreit wasn't as hard even though it was Mother's Day weekend. The first time I went was a better experience. The only complaint I have was that Marcela was not ready for her appointment. The second time was not a great experience, especially for my Mother's Day gift. The receptionist was left by herself and did not have much training. Also, did not understand what I wanted. For my appointment I saw Marcela again. Marcela was not acting professional. She cussed while she talked about her co-worker and manager. I also felt my appointment was rushed. Also, my $45 nails only lasted about 2 weeks. I was able to finally talk to Lauren after about a week, and she gave me a refund thankfully. Pros: Private room for your nails. Cons: Not many color options. Not consistent with how to make an appointment (busier times seems easier to get like Mother's Day for example). Nail technicians on call, so sometimes you have wait.

BUYER BEWARE. Nice facility. Professional environment. I paid over a thousand dollars in advance…read moreto treat multiple areas of my body with laser hair removal. I had to cease treatments on some areas because they get exposed to sun and the provider will not treat any area that gets sun exposure. I was able to continue treatment on the other area since it does not get exposed to sun. However, after a year's worth of treatments at the service interval the provider suggested, it turned out that laser hair removal did not work on me. Going into this, I knew that laser hair removal doesn't work for everyone. So, when it turned out to be ineffective on me, I wasn't surprised. Although after the first couple of treatments, hair growth did slow some but at this point, hair in the treated area grows the same as it did before treatment began. So I stopped treatments and requested a refund (HUNDREDS of dollars) for the treatments that had not yet been provided. The business owner declined my refund request claiming that, "There are no refunds." To me, retaining money for services that have not been provided seems inappropriate and unjustified (unless there were associated costs to the provider for those unused services - which, in this case, there were not). Therefor, although the treatment sessions themselves were fine and I have no complaint about the service that WAS provided, I cannot recommend this business due to the "no refund" policy. I suggest that if you are looking for laser hair removal service, you either find another provider or if you do use this provider, do not pay in advance.

I purchased a Groupon for laser hair removal. Online it mentions that there is "limited scheduling…read moreavailability", and that is true. The staff actually live and work in Florida full time, and they come to Charlottesville about once every five weeks for appointments. They're usually in town for a three day weekend. That means that all Charlottesville customers are on the same schedule. If you're flexible and this works for you (it did for me), this is a reasonable option. Cheryl, the laser hair removal technician, is proficient and professional. I was satisfied with my results and appreciated her fairly clinical approach. She made thoughtful adjustments in the treatment each time, and I benefitted from that. Because of the scheduling logistics, Cheryl allowed me to combine a few treatment areas under one Groupon. I appreciated that flexibility. Her assistant Adrienne (sp?) was also nice, though on multiple occasions she announced to a waiting room full of people what services a particular customer was having, and I thought that was unprofessional. Ultimately, I was satisfied with my experience here. I would recommend it as long as you know what you're getting into with scheduling. The Groupon made it particularly affordable, and there aren't a lot of similarly priced choices for laser hair removal in Charlottesville.
