I was really nervous because it was my first time getting waxed but she was very gentle! She recommended products to use for aftercare as well.

However, last…read moremonth, the front desk person who checked me out thought I was another customer and charged me for the wrong amount. She called me and asked if she could recharge my card for the right amount. I gave her my credit card info over the phone. They charged me for the wrong amount (again). I called them back multiple times to get refunded. I talked to multiple people and they said the manager was going to contact me. It has been a month and no one has followed up with me. No follow up, very unprofessional on the management part.

She's knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable during appointments. The only thing I will say is that at times I felt a little pushed to purchase additional products that honestly are still sitting on my shelf unused. Besides that, she truly does great work. I'd just recommend standing firm on your budget and what you're comfortable spending. Overall, I still highly recommend her services!

I tend to get a little nervous about my eyebrows since they're already pretty thin, but they always shape them exactly how I like. They manage to keep them looking natural while actually making them look fuller and more defined, which I really appreciate. I always leave happy with the results and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for consistently good eyebrow services.

I accepted the offer of a redo, and they were able to see me quickly. Now that I know what to expect with a Russian mani I was less surprised and able to appreciate the precision and skill needed for this type of service (though will caution anyone who's never gotten one before that it can be a bit uncomfortable; I recommend you look this up before trying it). My nail tech today also did a lovely job with the nail design. She was very skilled and meticulous with her work (grooming, polish and design) so I expect this set will last longer than my last. If you're getting a Russian mani, take note that you can expect it to take nearly 2 hours, so feed the parking meter accordingly. Overall, I am happy with my experience and will be back. :)
