Marina offers online scheduling and she really does book out at least a month in advance. You can, however, find last minute appointments if you really stalk her online scheduling site. I see Marina for a brazilian, inner thigh, and eyebrow wax. Not only is Marina meticulous and thorough but she is FAST. Like, less than 20 minutes and your brazilian is finito! She makes an ordinarily painful process absolute painless. Going to see Marina is like going to hang out with a girlfriend who just happens to be a master at waxing. Her pricing is very reasonable for the quality of service she consistently provides. Go check her out.. you won't regret it!

It was a bit uncomfortable at first but she told me it was because I'm not used to it. As it went on it got better and within 5 minutes she was done.

By the time I got in the car, I couldn't tell I had just got a threading done. Will come back and support this business. If you are on the fence about threading please give this place a try.

It's fairly lengthy (yes more lengthy than this review) and strenuous but I believe it's only right to share my story regarding my experience with this business and my artist, Miriam. I initially came to her wanting microblading done because I grew up during the 'thin brow fad' in the 90s and I rarely wear makeup so I wanted a more "natural yet maintenanced" look. I will be the first to say that in the cosmetic world, I am very naive and uninformed though I tried to educate myself on this specific procedure but I partially believe she may have taken advantage of my lack of knowledge. The entire process has been a complete upset and it's such a shame because the ladies were so nice while being in their presence but there was a huge lack of concern/care once I left the office (both times) and the reality of the results set in. I would text picture updates and ask questions about my healing phase and never got responses back, I called the business and also tried contacting her via Instagram where we originally met/talked. Nothing. She would actively post stories on her account but couldn't take the time to respond to a worried client.... since I was not getting any replies from my own artist, I went to a handful of others in the area with my questions regarding my results and they have all claimed that instead of microblading, Miriam looked to have attempted a tint & shade or powderbrow instead which is very frustrating for me because I showed her countless Before and After photos of women with thin eyebrows like mine and the look I wanted.. needless to say that's not what I got in return. I truly feel like I was robbed of my money and on top of that, I still decided to OVERtip her each session for her time even though her and I both knew I would leave unsatisfied and uneasy about things. At the end of the day, I'm MORE disappointed with the lack of compassion and attentiveness from my artist than I am the actual results.... and that's saying ALOT seeing how they turned out. Looking back on the situation I 100% believe it was all about the money and not having pride in her work and wanting to make things right. It took a lot of time, courage, trust and budgeting for me to finally take the steps to do this procedure and my heart is completely broken about how everything played out. I would also like to add that I know this ink is different than regular tattoos but I am tatted up and never had this issue with ink being pushed out, as she claimed happened. Also, I feel like she always danced around the issue and gave me the run around instead of being honest about my situation until everything was said/done and paid for. I naturally have dry skin and refrained from any type of excersing for 2 weeks after each session to assure I did not irritate or disrupt the healing process... in retrospect I just wish I would've put that money to better use. $700 down the drain. The result speaks for itself. Lesson learned

I had an appointment elsewhere today but due to unforeseen circumstances, it was canceled and I was searching all over for a lash extension service before heading out of town. I reached out to three businesses, assuming most would be closed on Monday... Gratefully this business was open and had several appointment times for me to choose from. *hand claps* I saw pictures of their work online so I knew the quality of work was on point before I made an appointment. The establishment is run professionally, appears very clean, and I enjoyed their taste in music. I fell asleep at least twice but the aesthetician was very gentle (and didn't wake me) and I was pleased with the outcome. Lastly, I appreciate this business is owned by a Black woman. I enjoy being purposeful in buying Black and supporting women whenever I can! I'll be back in two weeks for a refill.

A waste of $75 dollars. I would like to support this local salon but given this poor experience for a basic service I cannot trust the quality expectations of the business. If this artist's work was deemed sufficient to pass them into a position of a professional provide and it was sub par, I won't risk attempting another try at this or another service at this salon because quality standards are lacking judging by this service. Very frustrating because I rarely spend $ on beauty given my tight budget and this was a waste of time and dollars.

I have had my eyebrows threaded here about 6 times. I found out about Brow Spa after the place I…read morewent to for years went out of business. To be honest, the convenience is what draws me to coming here. It's super close to my house and I don't have to make an appointment. I walk in and usually immediately sit down and am done in about 10 minutes. Also, parking is easy even though it's in the Galleria mall. Brow spa is located near Dillards on the Clayton road side where there aren't usually too many cars. I have read many negative reviews on Brow spa, but I can only speak from my own experience. I have been happy with my eyebrows after getting them threaded, besides one time where I felt they took off too much hair on the top side of my brow. After this experience I always make sure I state that I just want them cleaned up and not thinned or shaped. This has helped to make sure my eyebrow isn't skinnier than I would like. I have never tried any of there other services so I would read other reviews regarding those. I do naturally have thick, dark and lots of hair so I may be an easier client than those with finer, light hair. They dont compare to the place I use to go but overall I keep coming back and have been happy with the results!

I'm constantly seeing new faces and a high turnover of employees, and unfortunately, the customer service has gotten worse. My most recent experience was especially disappointing. The service felt very rough and uncomfortable, and I also had concerns about the cleanliness and sanitation practices. The lady literally scrubbed my eyebrows with a dry cotton ball, which was extremely uncomfortable and not what I would expect from a professional establishment. At this point, I'm honestly very disappointed. The constant employee turnover, poor customer service, and concerns about sanitation have completely changed my opinion of this place. I really hope management takes these concerns seriously because this establishment needs significant improvement.

Firstly, the establishment is always clean and the interior is nicely decorated. The light pink chairs, the beverage bar and the whole ambience gives me the whole spa vibe. I normally make my appointments with Eli. And he is the best, but I haven't tried anyone else so my opinion might be slightly biased. He is always welcoming and engaging during our appointment. I get the entire services listed on their website, it alot of services for the price, so no complaints on my part. I lay on the heated table, covered with a weighted blanket while he does his magic on my face. I was given product recommendations and tips on skin care. I have stuck to the skin regimen and I am seeing a difference! I know Rome wasn't built in a day, so any changes on my face is always a win for me! I am always told what to expect after the treatments so I don't have any surprises. As a black woman, I know not everyone is educated on our skin complexion, so it is actually nice that Eli takes the time to recommend products for my skin type and does treatment which aren't harmful to my complexion!

My esthetician was nice but seemed new. She spoke to me the whole time and she was pleasant but I was hoping to just lay and relax (granted I probably could have said something). I don't think I received any extractions, so I either have the best skin ever, or that step was skipped. I also didn't receive any brow shaping or plucking which was a little bit of a let down as I was letting my eyebrows get bushy thinking they would get done at my appointment. The face massage was also lacking in my opinion. She was going in circles around my face with her fingers but not using any technique or pressure for it to feel special. I'm sure the products they used were nice for my skin! I didn't notice a huge difference but I've only gone once and didn't have any skin issues before coming. My favorite part was them giving me moisturizer to take home. When I received my gift card it came with a box full of goodies which was very nice and made me feel quite pampered. I would maybe look into the esthetician before going to make sure you get someone with good reviews or experience. I think my issues could have been addressed if I spoke up, but I felt awkward and didn't.
