During the facial she explained throughout what she was doing and it was one of the most relaxing facials I have ever had. I generally get facials done at my local med spa, however I will definitely incorporate Oja's into my routine. She addressed all my concerns such as acne and hyperpigmentation. The massage she gave during and the hand/feet masks were a fantastic touch. Afterwards, she went over all that she did and also what product she used.

Today was my very first visit at the Premiere Touch Therapeutic Massage center and I can honestly…read moresay that I received the best massage that I have had in a long time.. probably ever! First and foremost, the massage therapist, Will, is so kind, warm spirited and very knowledgeable about the body and his craft. We discussed my reason for the visit and some lifestyle questions (water intake, type of job such as physical vs. standing) before getting started as well as my desired pressure. One thing I can say is that Will has very intentional hands! Lol his touch is firm but purposeful and he makes sure to ensure your comfort. I have never had a massage that felt so strategic yet relaxing.. and so thorough--I was literally getting goosebumps on the table and was thanking God in my head! Lol Once the massage was over I felt so much more open and flexible and honestly just happier. I would absolutely be a returning customer moving forward and I highly recommend that anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable and intentional masseuse to try Will out! You will not regret it and you will be dreaming of your next massage with him!

Best massage of my life. Go see Will, you will not regret it! His spot was welcoming and so was he.read more

So, I ended up with whoever was free, and it was pretty obvious why they weren't already booked. I made a last-minute appointment for a quick manicure, and I got stuck with Vivian, who gave me one of the worst manicures ever. It felt like she didn't want to be there at all. All I wanted was my cuticles trimmed and nails shaped--no gel, dip, tips, just my natural nails. That wasn't her vibe. She skipped the buffing block and did a lousy job filing and shaping. I even had to remind her to make my nails the same length, which she huffed about. When I washed my hands, she asked if I wanted clear nail polish. I said no, and she said, "You're done." I had to ask about the warm towel and hand lotion, and she brought those out all begrudgingly. I paid in cash, and she just walked off when I asked for change to leave a tip. So, I ended up leaving my tip at the front desk, which is incredible since I've been coming here for years. I hope they provide her with some customer service training.

The waiting lounge area was nice, and throughout the place, they had plenty of mini fringes with water stocked up, which was great. The awkward part for me was waiting for my massage. I had an appointment at 1 and no one came to get me, so a little before 1:15 I ventured out into the hallway and found my masseuse. The massage started out pretty good, but the latter half, I felt was wasted while she spent more time going back and forth getting the hot stones than actually massaging me. If I went back, I would prefer not to get the hot stones. The other small mishap was that we initially booked a facial with the massage and I found out that the facial was canceled when I arrived at the spa. They said they called my husband (who booked the appts) but he had no missed calls or voicemails. We later did find an email that had only the massage, so maybe that was their way of letting us know? It was a bit confusing. The best part of my experience here was probably the steam room. It was my favorite part of it all.

During a time when work and the busyness of life were overshadowing my self-care, Vanity Beauty Lounge became my refuge for beauty and rejuvenation. Finding time for myself was challenging, but I'm grateful that I made it a priority during my time off from work. And now?

Melanie, the passionate owner of Vanity Beauty Lounge, has poured her heart and soul into creating this little piece of paradise. And let me tell you, she knows how to make you feel important from the moment you step through the door.

Every step of the process is explained, ensuring that you feel like an active participant in your own pampering session. It's like being cared for by knowledgeable friends who excel at what they do.

Her attention to detail is simply mind-blowing. The lashes she creates are both natural and stunning, making me feel like a million bucks every time I flutter them. It's truly addictive, I assure you! Vanity Beauty Lounge has become my go-to sanctuary for self-care. The entire team exudes professionalism and care, treating you like a VIP.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Holistic Toma Facial with Nano Infusion and LED Light Therapy Treatment at Vanity Beauty Lounge and I have to say, it was an absolute treat! The atmosphere was so relaxing and cozy, and aesthetician, Keisy, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. I love her! The facial itself was amazing - my skin felt so rejuvenated and refreshed afterwards. I loved that they used all-natural and organic products for this facial, which made me feel good about what I was putting on my skin. The facial also included mini hand and shoulder massage sessions, it was super relaxing - I needed them so much after a long day at work. Overall, I would highly recommend Vanity Beauty Lounge to anyone looking for a relaxing and effective facial experience with a 10/10 princess treatment! read more

I've been going to Melanie for over 3 years for my lashes and they have always been perfect. I was nervous, at first, since I have alopecia and lose lashes too. Getting my lashes with Melanie saved them...they started growing in more. Melanie is so knowledgeable about what she does, never recommended anything my lashes couldn't handle and always delivers amazing results. I'm flattered when people compliment my lashes and I send them only to Melanie. I must also say that the 1 star review is clearly not based on Melanie's work, she would never do what those pictures show. Just checkout her Instagram pics to see real photos of her great results. If you want lashes done right the first time, you have to go see Melanie! read more

A few days later, the owner called asking if I could move my time from 11:30 to 11:15. The business is located in a professional center. I arrived at the updated time, but the door was locked. When I called, the owner explained she was running late and was on her way. I was frustrated, as I would have preferred to keep my original time. She arrived eight minutes late and did not acknowledge or apologize for the delay. The henna itself took about five minutes. It was a simple design, and she mentioned that more elaborate designs--like the samples displayed on the walls--could cost up to $80. She advised me to avoid soap, water, and lotion for 24 hours, and said it would take roughly 30-40 minutes to dry. When I got home and changed my shirt, the ink began flaking off. I strongly recommend wearing a button-down shirt if you get a henna done here. As shown in my photo, the stain is not uniform; some areas are noticeably darker than others. I've had several hennas in the past--many done for free at events and one paid for while on vacation--and this is probably the poorest quality in terms of the stain. While I liked the design itself, I'm unlikely to return due to the inconsistent ink quality and the owner's tardiness after asking me to adjust my appointment. In addition to hennas, the business offers waxing, threading, facials, and makeup services.

First off, it has been very difficult to get in touch with anyone to make an appointment. I called last Saturday, no answer. I thought maybe they were just busy so I drove up there to see if I could walk in. When I got there the door was locked, no one was there so I left. Later on, I called several times to make an appointment and then finally someone called me back days later to allow me to schedule an appointment. I finally went to my scheduled appointment and everything was fine until it was time to pay. I asked if I could use Apple Pay. I was told no it charges more fees but could use chip instead. My card declines twice. I tried 2 other cards which were also activated, used before and were also declined. I called my bank and the bank says the card isn't activated. The bank activated my card and then they tried the transaction again. Declined again. The owner gets very upset, starts yelling at me and the bank rep because she thinks she's getting charged fees every time it declines. The rep is telling her that only two attempts are shown but they are unprocessed so there wouldn't be a charge. Only charges apply to processed transactions. I tried the two other cards using chip and tap on the Square device and all were declined. At this point I'm pissed off because I have money in the bank and this isn't my problem! I even showed her my bank balance so she knew I have money in my account. I probably didn't need to do that, but I had hit my frustration level. I suggested to her that maybe something is wrong with the Square, maybe it's a bad connection and it's timing out. She says no it's fine it's been working before me. I feel extremely annoyed because I just came to have a service done and pay for my service like I always have and go on with my day and get back home to my family. I even asked if I could just pay her via Venmo or Cashapp or Zelle. She said no. She doesn't have any of those. So finally, I ask if I can just try the Apple Pay system and tap my phone and guess what--it worked. So whatever fees she was trying to get around paying, she probably had to pay anyway somewhere along the line. I gave her a very generous tip, which in hindsight, I definitely should not have. Moral of the story: Don't put up with anybody's CRAP! If business owners you deal with aren't clear and professional about communicating their expectations for their customers when it comes to payment especially, then be sure to ask up front so that you're prepared or don't even bother with them and go somewhere where you won't have to deal with this type of crap. It's no different than owners posting "cash only" or "no Apple Pay" or "No Amex" etc. on their doors and at the checkout desk so people know the expectation from the very beginning. Business owners, please know the details about the payment systems and devices you are using. This was supposed to be a quick, painless and drama-free experience as it had always been for me in the past, but unfortunately I didn't get that this time around AND paid for it WITHOUT a thank you nor an apology. Just plain rudeness and extreme unprofessionalism. On top of it, another customer came in behind me and the lady who provided my service started talking shit about the situation to her! It's sad and disappointing, but it's definitely not surprising. It's quite apparent to me that the professionalism has been lacking at this establishment over the years and it all came to a peak today. It saddens me to have to leave this review and go elsewhere, but I WILL NOT be yelled at and abused by anyone, especially where I spend MY hard-earned money. I know for a fact there is plenty of talent in this area that will provide exactly what I need without the unprofessionalism, hassle and the abuse. My time and my money is just as good and just as important as anyone else's! Take heed and proceed with caution.
