She did a fantastic job and they're still looking great weeks later! If I lived in the area (I was visiting from out of state), I would DEFINITELY return. The salon was spacious and clean, and the owner was friendly and really listens to what her clients want. If you need any eyebrow or facial services, make sure you book an appointment with Akshi Beauty Salon!

Let me preface this by saying that I called 45 minutes before they closed and they still took me…read morewhen I arrived just about 20 minutes before closing, which I appreciated very much.... They offer a free first service, and I got 2 services so this was a nice touch. All of the staff I encountered were pleasant and professional and I was out in about 10 minutes! While I was there the member performing my services (eyebrows and lip) showed me how they looked and I was very pleased. She cleaned up my eyebrows very nicely but didn't shape them very much, which didn't bother me as I was just looking for them to be straightened out. --Side note: the wax they use was very gentle, no paper glued to your face, just pulling off hot wax which was a very nice change.-- My only complaint comes now that I took a better look at home. My eyebrows are definitely cleaned up but they are some stragglers that I'll have to pluck, and although the wax was gentle it didn't seem to really pull all the hairs completely, I can tell I'll need a wax again very soon unfortunately. Overall I would recommend this place if you're in a time pinch like I was. The experience was pretty good and the service was speedy and professional. **I would've liked to give 3.5 stars but Yelp doesn't allow it, but they definitely deserve more of a 4 than a 3**

What should have been a 15 minute service, took 30 and was of incredibly poor quality. When I…read morearrived, I was asked if would be open to getting a free wax (it seemed as if the water was just finishing training or just finished training) and I agreed to this. I understand that training services aren't just that, but there's also a certain expectation of quality. I had a Brazilian that left a lot of hair behind and the waxer pinched me a number of times trying to get the wax strips off. As I was under a time constraint and had planned for a 15 minute service, I had to stop her after 30 minutes and leave without a complete wax. She was very nice, but the service was incredibly disappointing and left me frustrated

The prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is genuinely positive. Soft music in the background and delightful chatter but only if you want to. Nothing seems forced. Plus there is always mints and lollipops so that's a bonus for me. The salon is very clean and always kept that way. I would recommend Trixie's Salon for anyone. Any gender or color. They have a seat for everyone at the salon.

Winnie did a great job.However, it wasn't what I expected or wanted, And I was very clear as to what I wanted! So I called about a half an hour ago and said, you told me on the phone, it was $50 for full set! I was charged $57. $7 more!!!! Because apparently They went over an hour, which is not my problem.It's theirs. How dare you charge an extra fee for a time!!! Since when do customers get a charge for time, since when is there a time limit!!!!! I also will be calling the Better Business Bureau It doesn't work that way! So I will be calling my bank to put a stop payment on this. Until they remove the $7.00 that was added to my bill. No wonder it has so many bad reviews. She was like, i'm hanging up now.I'm with a customer! I will hold you accountable bottom line!!. That's all it's very disappointing to say the least. Total rip off of customers!!!!

By fate, I found Miss Claire and I've never considered going anywhere else. She works magic. She is a master of her craft and better yet, a genuinely great person. She not only cuts, colors, styles (etc.) your hair, she consults with you to determine exactly what you're looking for so you leave 100% ecstatic about how you look. She also educates you on her process so there's never this feeling of "oh crap, what is she doing"...(come on ladies, admit it...we've all been there). When you see Claire, you will leave feeling and looking beautiful every single time.

I've gotten eyelash extensions countless times at several places around NYC and Albany. Angela, by…read morefar, does the best job. Every other place has been a disappointment and I had a hard time looking for an eyelash spot I really liked enough to stick to before finding her. I have dead straight eyelashes that grow out straight down, making them difficult to work with, which I blamed on my Asian background. Usually, extensions would weigh down on my natural lash, sometimes obstruct my vision, and would fall off quicker. It was hard for me to get a good curl. I saw Get Minked on Yelp and took a chance because I really liked the photos that were posted. Plus, I noticed a wide diversity in her customers. It was super easy to make an appointment online. During my first visit, I explained to Angela my past frustrations with extensions. She said, "they don't know what they're doing. It has nothing to do with you being Asian." Her confidence in her work reassured me, but of course, what really sold me was the end result. Yes, she really does know what she's doing. I got exactly the fullness and curl that I wanted. The lashes are of great quality and are not shiny or fake-looking. They feel soft, fluffy, and light. She takes her time and she uses a great technique. I've come back since and have gotten different styles, lengths, and even tried bottom lashes; each time, they looked amazing. My go-to is the mink mega volume lash. I'm really surprised that this salon doesn't have more raving reviews on Yelp. It must be because her many loyal customers want her all to herself and want to keep her a secret.
