    Walid! I'm in love with my hair again because of you!…read more Absolutely love my haircut! You did an incredible job with the shape, layers, and movement. The way you cut the front to frame my face is especially beautiful, it has so much volume and falls perfectly without looking over styled. It's polished, flattering, and still feels effortless. One of those cuts that makes you feel great the second you look in the mirror. I couldn't be happier. Over the moon, thank you for bringing me back to life. And I love that you love my natural color! Over the moon happy and because of you I feel like my old feel good self again. Hot damn! Blessed to have found you.

    I've been testing out new salons since moving here with the hope of finding one I really like that…read morealso doesn't break the bank, and had high hopes for this one based on the reviews. I only ever do simple cuts, nothing fancy. My haircut, done by Anderson (a level 3 stylist), is objectively good. The skill was there. But it's definitely shorter than I wanted it. Went in for a lob, came out with an asymmetrical bob...Honestly I was panicking while he was drying it because it was starting to look like Lord Farquaad from Shrek. I asked if he could style it like in the reference pictures I showed (simple waves, to reduce Farquaad-ness). He tried to do it with the brush/dryer, which obviously wasn't working, and didn't want to use a flatiron. So I just suffered through scalding heat on my scalp and hair pulling. I got told I don't have curly hair. I got told I don't have frizzy hair. I, in fact, have both of those. Some other minor things: 1. When I got home I had some hair that was noticeably longer than the rest, like it never got cut. So...I had to do it. Just a few strands, but normally stylists check for that when your hair is dry. 2. I almost never use heat on my hair, so I asked for recs and mentioned a specific brand doesn't work for me. He immediately said he loves that brand. I said yeah...but it doesn't work for me. Anything else? "Any salon brand." Cool. Not helpful. 3. Asked for something at the end to tame the pieces that were sticking out (again, I have frizzy hair). He looked...confused? Smoothing as a last step has been standard at every other place I've been to. There is nothing in the whole salon like that? Also, my introvert-self just wants to go somewhere where I don't have to be engaged in conversation the whole time. Anyway. Won't go back, my hunt continues.

    I have been here several times for Prp microneedling and have always been happy with my results…read more Their rates are reasonable, arguably the best in the area, that Ive found. Even more than this, Shaheen is very personable and takes care to actually get to know you. She has a lovely spirit and I enjoy coming to her beautiful spa. Patricia, the nurse/aesthetician is equally as caring and personable, and always teaches me something new about how to care for my skin. Not only this, she is the Only person who has made the microneedling session completely pain-free for me! I couldn't recommend Elume highly enough.

    I've been going to Elume Medspa for several years and have had consistently great experiences…read more Shaheen, the owner, is wonderful. She is thoughtful, honest, and never pushy. What I appreciate most is that she truly does not oversell. She has encouraged me to hold off on treatments, including Botox, when she did not think it was necessary. I trust her completely, and I am constantly complimented on my skin. This is the least salesy medspa I have ever been to. Every recommendation feels considered and tailored, not transactional. I always feel taken care of rather than marketed to. The photofacial has been a game changer for me. I do it once or twice a year with Shaheen, and the results have been noticeable and lasting. I also started laser hair removal here after trying several other places with little success, and this is the first place where I have seen significant results. I recently tried Botox with Patricia, who was also excellent and very much aligned with the same natural, conservative approach. Beyond the results, I genuinely enjoy coming here. The team is kind, easy to talk to, and clearly cares about their clients. I recommend Elume without hesitation.

If you're looking for natural ways to enhance your beauty and fight aging related issues, you should set up a consult. This is a no frills establishment, with no hidden costs, like you would find at a boutique spa. The most impressive part is that Doctor Roba is knowledgeable in both men and women's health, and offers a wide range of life changing treatments.

    I had a disappointing and, at times, concerning experience with tumescent liposuction ($5,000 for…read moreupper and lower abdomen). For the consultation, he was ran late due to a personal emergency, which I was understanding about, but it it still felt rushed. I did confirm during the consult that a compression garment would be included. On the day of the procedure, his assistant arrived about 90 minutes late. During the procedure, I noticed he was not wearing a surgical mask, which concerned me. The numbing agent he administered was significantly more painful than I had anticipated. While I was in discomfort during the administration, they took a couple phone calls that were coming in. This felt distracting and, in my view, not appropriate under the circumstances. He also commented that he was surprised by the level of discomfort I was experiencing and noted that my tissue seemed more fibrous than expected for my age, which I did not find reassuring. At the end of the procedure, when his nurse asked about the compression garment, he stated that it had not yet been ordered and would need to be placed that evening, with delivery expected several days later. In the meantime, I was sent home in a binder. When the garment arrived on day 3, it provided noticeably better compression than what I had initially been given. I did not receive a follow-up call the next day and reached out myself later that afternoon with concerns about swelling and firmness in certain areas. A follow-up appointment was not proactively scheduled, and I later contacted him again about six weeks post-procedure due to ongoing concerns. He never offered a 6-month follow-up appointment. For comparison, several months after this, I had a tumescent liposuction thighs procedure with a different provider, and that experience differed significantly in terms of overall organization, pain level, and post-procedure care. Overall, this experience did not meet my expectations for communication, preparation, and follow-up for a procedure of this nature. I am also not satisfied with my final results, which contributed to my overall disappointment.
