I've never had less pain with waxing like here before. By…read morethe way, I wrote this review 11 years ago. I just found out that I didn't post it. Lol. I'm still coming to this salon. Mostly for waxing, occasionally for facial. She does very great job!!

This was my first Brazilian and a spontaneous venture. First let me say, I never expected to say,…read more"that was easy!" It was nowhere as painful as I imagined and comparable to an eyebrow wax. A Brazilian is when they wax it all off and she did so phenomenally! Erica is super gentle yet quick and efficient. She is a petite and friendly young lady and she makes you feel very welcome. It is located in the M&T building by Columbia mall. It is elegant and calming when with it's decorations. And very clean! The room is small with pretty purple walls and also very clean. She plays Zen type music so you remain relaxed and is full of light convo to keep your mind off things. Both front and back are included and believe me it's not as painful as you think. She is great and will make you want to make this a routine visit. I'm excited to go back and refer lol. If you call and get voicemail leave a message she is sure to callback and is uber polite. Enjoy :o) I will def be going back, but I do think it's pricey that's the reason for 4 stars

I got a Brazilian with Christina and I rarely leave reviews but when I find someone as great as her…read moreit'd be a crime not to! It's been awhile since I got a brazilian since I jst moved to Maryland a year ago and the experience with the first person out her I went to was not pleasant. but Christina was sooo awesome! I was so comfortable and the waxing was surprisingly MUCH LESS PAINFUL!! She is a god send! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

My experience with Christina at Skin Zen Spa was absolutely great!…read more If you are looking for a knowledgeable, thorough, patient esthetician you have found your spot.   I sought Christina out because I did not want to visit a commercial chain spa for a basic facial, and I did not want to go to a "ritzy" spa with a lot of frill that I reserve for girls day out or a bachelorette party. I wanted a nice experience with a thorough, quality facial because the winter did quite a number on my face and I find the solo practitioner esthetician to be a bit more clinical and thorough, while still providing a tranquil environment. LOCATION: So first let me tell you...being new to Maryland I'd never heard of Old Savage Mill where the spa is located.  It's a quaint, older, historical revamped building that I believe used to be a textile plant.  There is ample parking.  Old savage Mill has little clusters of private shops. The shops are unique shops such as photography studios, hair salons and antique shops. It really is an enjoyable experience - you almost feel like you are on a field trip.  I had time to kill before I was able to get an appointment so it was great to explore.  I even bought a few items! Zen is a little tricky to find within the compound. The layout of the shopping area is unique.  It is split up into little buildings with different names.  Skin Zen is located in the "Spinning Building." The best way to get there is to find the "New Weave" building, make a left, go through the double glass doors, make another left, follow though and make a left at the wedding dress shop, go past the restaurant and make another left, and Zen is down the hall to your left.  If you have to use the rest room there are many within the building but not in Christina's private section, as the building is not designed that way so just go before you get to your appointment and disrobe.  Not a big deal abut I figure useful information. ESTHETICIAN: Christina is very nice! I was a walk in and she was able to accommodate me within one hour. The setup is perfect. She has a receiving area and a private back room where she provides services.  Christina gives you a form to fill out about your history and inquiring about your concerns.  She then speaks with you to review the information.  She then examines you and goes over what she feels will be best for you.  She does not pressure or upsell.   After my consult I decided to go for the H2o Oxygen facial. She is very knowledgeable about skin. I am an African-American woman and I was impressed that she made it a point to talk about the things unique to darker pigments.  For example, she explained how extractions with too much pressure may scar my skin type and she would take great care to avoid that. That is always comforting and it let me know I was dealing with a knowledgeable esthetician. She is very friendly and you immediately feel at ease. She will follow your lead with conversation.  She is very detailed and takes her time.  It was a relaxing experience. She even gave me a great shoulder hand and arm massage - giving me the option to choose between hands or feet.  Normally estheticians just leave you in the room, with a mask. Not Christina...she uses that time to provide an added extra benefit of a shoulder hand or shoulder massage included in the service.  Devine!   She accurately knew where my tension was and gave me some advice, admitting that she was not a massage therapist but she had some great suggestions.  RESULTS Christina sent me home with a post treatment package included in my service.  She explained how to keep up the treatment.  She did not heavily push the products just but explained each one she used. I ended up buying two from the organic line of the products she uses. All together I spent about $190.00 dollars.  I feel it was money very well spent. My face is heavenly! Smooth and bright.  It is indeed one of the very best facials I have EVER received and I have gone to many ritzy downtown Manhattan spas.  This facial easily outdoes them all.  She hit all the areas I had issue with. Though I felt I needed many extractions and all types of steam she explained that she tailored to the client's needs and I did not need that.    Don't you just love when we come in telling professionals what we need? LOL I had to laugh at myself when I went home. She was right.  My face is beautiful and clear and where normally I would have some sensitivity and redness after a facial. I have none. And to top it off I woke up this morning and my hands and arms were UNBELIVABLLY soft.  I mean unrealistically so. I kept touching myself.  LOL So I have to call her back today to see what she used on my shoulder, arm and hand massage. So I say all of this to say you will not regret going to Skin Zen Spa!

My first-and last bikini wax was for my honeymoon and I remember half way through it thinking "why am I doing this to myself". The pain had my eyes tearing up- and I am a tattooed lady-not a stranger to pain. Anyway, I decided to give it a go again because the bumps from shaving are annoying as all hell. Wendy made me feel comfortable, relaxed, had great conversation to distract me and practically no pain. Not a wince, not a tear. Looking forward to being shave free this summer. Highly recommend her to all.

Candice has such a beautiful spirit and made me feel comfortable right away. She gave me an amazing dermaplane facial, and you can tell she is very knowledgeable and passionate about her craft. We talked and laughed throughout my appointment, which made the experience even more enjoyable. My skin felt amazing afterward, but what really stood out was the overall experience. Candice is great at what she does, and her energy makes you feel right at home. I truly enjoyed my time with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and caring esthetician.

When scheduling online, you have to pay a deposit to secure your date and time. After securing my appointment, I received an automatic email, which included my appointment information, her location and an outline of her Covid precautions. When I arrived at Salontra where her booth is located, I was greeted by a friendly man at the front desk. The gentleman asked me to sign-in and had me place my hand under a hand sanitizer station which was also a thermometer. After verifying my temperature, he walked me to the door and directed me to Candice's booth. When I walked into Candice's booth, she greeted me warmly and professionally. She asked me questions about my skin and explained the process. She briefly left the room for me to disrobe, but before she left, she told me to lay on the table under the blanket, get comfortable and relax. The soft decor of her booth and the music playing in the background relaxed me immediately. Candice has done a beautiful job with making her booth warm and inviting. The table I laid on was heated, which was prefect on this cold winter's day and mad my experience that much more enjoyable. Candice did a brief consultation on my face and explained the different steps in the Dermaplane Deluxe package I scheduled the got went to work on my face! She checked in on me throughout the service making sure I wasn't in any discomfort or pain. The facial was wonderful! I literally loved every second of it! The complimentary arm, hand and shoulder massage she gave was a welcomed addition. The products she uses left my face soft and refreshed. An overall pleasant experience. After my service was complete, she asked me if I had any questions and gave suggestions on after-care. She thanked me for my business and texted me both and after pictures of my skin. I am an avid tipper, especially when receiving outstanding services and Candice more than earned her tip today. I plan to schedule with her on a monthly basics and I think that you should too!
