I randomly just wanted to get a Brazilian because my hair was long enough and was just lazy to do…read moreit myself. I typically go to the Columbia location, but unfortunately all their time slots were booked. I'm not too sure why I even bother to go to Columbia, when this location is literally 10 minutes away. Half the time it takes me to get to Columbia. Lucky for me, the time slots at Olney were pretty empty and worked with my schedule. Since I was on a time crunch and didn't know which specialist to go for, I just picked any. I was running late so I called to see if I could push my appointment back 15 minutes. The lady at the register/phone kindly agreed and said there was a 9 minute grace period. I walked in, checked in, and since the lobby was closed, was told to wait outside. I walked out and within 2 seconds Melody came outside to greet me. Definitely not the first time I've been to EWC, so I knew the drill. I know their rule - only 15 minutes per customer, but for some reason Melody seemed articulate with her work. It didn't seem rushed at all and she made sure all the spots were fully bare and plucked out some ingrown hairs (the main reason I decided to go for a wax!) Besides all that, she was so personable! We had a light conversation. She was sweet, and gentle. Not a product pusher either. We love a wax lady who treats your bits with the special care and attention it needs! I'm impressed! I'll definitely be going back to this EWC and to Melody!

She is knowledgeable and has such a bright and uplifting personality. She was swift and thorough, making sure I was comfortable and checking that the wax's temperature was okay. The process definitely stung less than any at-home waxing I've done. After it was over I didn't even feel sore. I also appreciate the text-check-in system they have to maintain social distancing. Overall, I'll be back!

I have been looking for a local hairstylist for last year+. After 2 prior attempts at different…read moresalons & stylists adventured to another place. I heard several recommendations for a few stylists here & not too far from home. I chatted with someone on phone, told them what I was looking for in a stylist's skill set & they recommended 2, both happened to already be on my list of 4 from here. I took a stab, picked 1 & made an appointment. Easy scheduling My experience was that the overall parking lot was a zoo at midday. I have a large vehicle & made circles 1.5 times. Entry to parking lot fools you when you 1st pull in, the small shopping center with all staff parking is very empty when rest of lot had only 3 spaces available. I found out, there's another side lot but only accessible from separate entrance off Georgia Avenue. Ive noted for next time. Upon entering, the salon looks nice, lots of stations as pictures showed and the front desk staff are very friendly, greeted me with smiles & acknowledged me right away. They had me sit in waiting area in front as stylist was finishing a client and I was a few minutes early. I waited a little bit, no big deal, and my stylist came and introduced themselves and took me back so we could discuss what I was looking for. After that, a wonderful shampoo & scalp massage. Heavenly & enough time provided, didn't feel rushed. Back in the chair & cutting began with sectioning & clipping hair up, then started with nape & worked a little on top sides. When stylist was almost done, had me check the back to make sure short enough, it wasn't, so more cutting. I appreciated being conservative & checking in, then going back to lift more length. I checked in the mirror again and felt length was good. Added some gel & that was it. OH! Mind you my hair is still wet. Luckily it is summer so I didn't mind, but this is 1st time I've left a salon with wet hair & not feeling complete. Now maybe we didn't communicate fully, maybe stylist planned to dry my hair, maybe not, but in talking I had mentioned I never blowdry my hair, which we talked about & isnt best for your hair & I let it dry naturally. So, maybe that influenced not drying my hair. I didn't fully mind except that I couldn't see a glamorous, LOL, but mainly professional ending & hair appointments are my only opportunity & treat to myself. What i also didn't know until now, after-the-fact, they do offer options for just cut & wash without blowdry at a lesser cost. So, I did save $. If I knew beforehand, or someone explained, I would have requested a completed style with drying. Because we talked the entire time and stylist was SUPER personable, I was distracted & on way home started wondering, did my left side get touched? Did I even get a fresh trim all around which I needed? It was 13 weeks since my last haircut & always feels nice when hair is freshly trimmed. OR did stylist only work on the main point of the nape being too long & top looking heavy, which was what I mentioned as main dislikes currently? I did bring a picture of myself t9 show what I wanted & liked about prior styling in the back. Once I got home, hubby said the back was uneven, longer on 1 side than other. He took a picture so I could see. Lucky he can cut a straight line, so he fixed. But next morning when I washed & let hair dry, the sides of my hair didn't look completely even & ends still looked needing a fresh trim. I guess my wonderingon my journey home was correct. I'm good at cutting my own hair, so next hair wash, I trimmed a little to even up sides & get a fresh cut on sides. SO, would I return? Definitely! I have options of repeat try or 3 others at this salon who were recommended. I'm willing & should return to try others as I overall had good experience. Everyone was very nice there & if I can get better parking option, definitely worth a 2nd visit. AND every customer that left appeared to be regulars & appeared very happy & looked great. Please know that they take credit for service, but tips have to be cash or Venmo only.

The last two very rushed pedicures she got lasted 2 days before chipping and they cut her toenails uneven and crooked. The prices online do not reflect the real prices in salon so we were surprised at price. Her last dip manicure with tips lifted after less than a week. When she came back to let them know, they treated her as if it were her fault and a one time courtesy to fix. They recently received a small remodel inside which benefited the technicians mostly with better organization of their products etc. and was done by owners husband. Of course after this remodel all prices went up again another $5. I feel customers shouldn't have to pay for their upgrades especially when service stays the same. They tried to say it was the first time they raised the prices in 20 years but that was false information because the prices have gone up before in that time as regular manis used to be $10 then $12 then $15 and now $20 or even more. Now I have to pay $55 with tip for her to get a regular gel polish on her own nails which does not add strength and lasted a week and a half last time and is easier with UV cure imo. That's like paying $4-$5 everyday you wake up just to look at your nails with color and nothing special. She used to come here for the decent prices and because the girls working here have great personality and are good people, but we have to look elsewhere now and they have lost our service. Girlfriend is not happy about that.

Are you ready for your world to change?…read more The only reason why I thought of not posting what I will say, is because I know this will get Magdalen more busy and man what will I do if I ever lose her? I don't know. But let me tell you a little bit more about the decision you are about to make. My first ever waxer relocated to a whole another state and I was lost for sometime. I tried to become a regular for European Wax but their service and work did not mix well with me. I am currently located at #AspenHills #Rockville and I started looking for waxers. Wanting to find a place that feels like home and a safe space to be reborn every other 4-6 weeks. When I found Magdalen's page, the reviews automatically got my attention and decided to book being that she was 13-15 min away. The BEST decision I've made all year. When you enter, this particular smell that its so deliciously delicate welcomes you. Warning, in the beginning you will be confused and nervous because her method is so different from what everyone else is doing. But trust me when I say that it's less painful and more effective. I have thick hair and it grows really fast but after my first visit with Magdalen I noticed about only 60% of my hair growing back. Which is crazy for the amount of hair I used to grow with the other waxer. She warned me about growing less hair and less pain but you just have to book for the experience and for finding a home. She cleans THROUGHLY... life changing. Her wisdom definitely outshines her years of experience and yes, you will look forward to seeing her every visit.

She walked me through the process, made sure I was comfortable the entire time, and the best part she's fast without making you feel rushed. I didn't experience any of the nightmare scenarios I was bracing for. No pain, no trauma, and definitely no regrets. I left feeling smooth, confident, and honestly wondering why I didn't do this sooner . I'll definitely be back and recommending her to all my friends!
