As a model and a dog sitter, things can get a bit interesting…read more I ended up dog sitting for a client waaaaay up Chautauqua the weekend of a photoshoot. I realized my nails weren't 100%, so I decided to squeeze in a manicure and polish change. I yelped all the local nail salons and was a bit put off by most of the ratings. I found Lilese's Yelp and decided to take a chance (they only have two reviews which is a bit odd for such an established place). I called up Lilese and was able to book a nail appointment with Anna, within the hour! So I trekked down Chautauqua and made it in time for my treatment. Upon entering I was greeted warmly by a receptionist with beautiful hair. I was told that I'd be seen soon and that Anna was just finishing up with another client. The receptionist offered me something to drink, which was wonderful after my mile walk in a wool coat. I plopped down on their couch and took in the atmosphere. The place is simple design-wise and aesthetically pleasing. I didn't smell any weird smells, in fact the air was crisp and clean. Anna greeted me shortly after and took me to the back of the spa. I was quite thrilled to see her walls lined with OPI polishes of pretty much every color imaginable. Anna paid attention to my wants and needs, and took great care of my nails. As a person, Anna was a charming Russian woman whose face lit up easily. Talking with her was comfortable and natural, versus nail salons where the workers ask things like "you have boyfriend?" The whole time Anna worked on my nails she made sure to not miss a thing. She didn't pressure me once into getting something else added onto my service, which was nice compared to places where they practically shove package deals down your throat. When my manicure was finished, I was allowed to sit and let my nails dry. I wasn't pressured into immediately shoving my hands into my pockets to pay for my service and tip. I'm telling you, this place is pretty ace in my book. I don't know if I can go back to typical nail salons after Anna's work. I left with a beautiful set of hands that felt super soft, and nails that were juuuust right for my shoot. I met a few of the other employees while drying, and they seemed just as charming as the two I met originally. Price wise, it's quite affordable (although most in this area probably won't care anyways). If you find yourself searching through Yelp as I did, please do take this review seriously and book an appointment.

I never thought my daughter would leave a waxing salon with such a big smile on her face! We can't wait to go back and try her facials, she even offers a teen one which sounds perfect for my daughter! If you are looking for any skin or wax services, LOOK NO FURTHER!! :)

She and the team completely transformed my skin and my self-confidence. Cynthya, patiently created and walked me through a new skin care routine, updating it and changing it when necessary, adding and deleting products to suit my skins needs. I started noticing a difference within a few months and after a year of treatments and my revised skin routine I felt like my skin was finally back to the way it used to be (acne-free, texture-free, bouncy, and glowing). It's now been two years with Cynthya and the Skin by Lovely team and my skin is better than ever. I rarely wear makeup and usually opt for a lightly tinted sunscreen. I can't recommend them enough!! Added (and very important) bonus: They're the kindest group of people who go above and beyond for their patients.

I started with a skin consultation with Christina, and she was absolutely fantastic--incredibly knowledgeable, super sweet, and respectful of my desire to focus on aging naturally and gracefully while still being open to treatments like microneedling. She took the time to explain the process clearly, set realistic expectations, and made sure I felt fully prepared and comfortable before moving forward. The treatment itself was swift and painless, and her guidance around aftercare was spot-on. Recovery has been seamless--I've had zero issues, which speaks volumes about both her expertise and the care she puts into her work. I left feeling, yes, completely numb and looking as if I got a sunburn (totally normal, especially for more fair-skinned patients), but also genuinely excited about the results! And I've been thrilled with what I've seen so far. I absolutely plan to make microneedling a regular part of my routine here and would highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for thoughtful, expert care!

Visiting Christine Laguna for a facial is like the Tropical Vacation of Skin Care…read more More specifically Kauai in late spring. You wake up late morning in your extremely comfortable bed and you've forgotten that you ever experienced a moment of stress or ennui. You find some clothes or at least enough fabric to cover those naughty parts. You find a cabana by the pool or rent an umbrella on the beach. You lather yourself with coconut smelling sunblock/tanning lotion and you relax, read a book and drink some umbrella speared fruit drink. You occasionally nod off. Your mind wanders. You have lovely epiphanies about where you've been and where you may choose to go from here. Then the sun starts to set and you realize you have a dinner reservation. So you gather your things and make your way back to your room. You prepare the shower. You happen to catch yourself in the mirror. You're surprised at what you see. Who is that vivacious, healthy, joyous person with the amazing skin peering back at you. He/she is vaguely familiar - someone you knew a few years back when you were vacationing in Fiji. "Flawless," you think to yourself, "Abso-freakin-lutely flawless." Getting a facial from Christine is kinda like that! ***For actual details about her services, visit her website.

At a recent event she gathered world renowned fitness and medical professionals to share their expertise and advice about women's health and self care.

I particularly love the Osea and SpaRitual lines, which I only know about because she included many of these products in her complimentary event grab-bags. I cannot recommend the SpaRitual hand serum and lotion more enthusiastically. I love that I can book appointments and pay for all transactions with the easy Vagaro app. It makes organizing my appointments so easy!

Be Rosy is the opposite of the hurried nail salon experience where technicians peck at you to upsell massages or add-ons. It is a serene, upscale oasis. Going to Be Rosy has become and much loved part of my routine.
