Ashley and her team got me in the same day I contacted them, even though they are very busy. she took the time to answer all of my questions and provided me a clear plan with different options and she respected my opinions. this is exactly what I needed when my eyelid muscle was paralyzed and I was freaking out. I appreciated her calm demeanor and her knowledge on the topic. please consider Ashley for your injectable needs because she knows what she is talking about. once my eyelid is resolved I will be going to her for anything I will be getting done.

The new space is very bright, super clean and very welcoming. I normally get the waxing services and facials every few months. Reasons for the five stars: - a Brazilian is SUPER fast. It took her 19 minutes today to do a full Brazilian WHILE still holding a conversation with me about my upcoming trips. (Yes, there's some pain...but I've never had any irritations, burns, etc) - Ancill is super personable and actually remembers specifics about me (which makes me feel valued). I know she has tons of clients, so it's nice to be made to feel special. - the prices are super reasonable - her Covid procedures have been top notch throughout the whole pandemic - my facials are also super relaxing and REALLY good! She uses high quality products that don't overalls irritate my skin. - she's very knowledgeable...and I ask a TON of questions. Overall...still my go to spot for my Brazilians and facials.

I now travel to her MD location to continue seeing her, and my mom travels from VA to go to her... she also saved us with our ingrown hair issues in educating us on what products and care to engage in and now we rarely get any- and IF we do- her system has taught us how to manage them successfully ! FINALLY feel liberated and no longer self conscious when I wear whatever bathing suits I feel like!! Her artistry continues to her eyebrow waxes. This to me is a HUGE DEAL!!! I am Middle Eastern, and our eyebrows are everything to us ... she completely understands the desired aesthetic and cultural connotations, and they are PERFECTION!! She also ALWAYS asks if I'm using retinol currently - and if so- she will NOT wax due to skin irritation. Love her !

Kamilliah's…read moretransparency and product knowledge improves her credibility and the trust I have in her as an esthetician. I appreciate her providing expert knowledge concerning ingredients in skin care products and the impact the components have on a particular skin type instead of simply pushing a brand name product. She recommends detailed skin care regimens along with safe and healthy products to use. I'm always happy to splurge on these items and appreciate how well the solutions are crafted for her clients .   Services I have received typically include facials, chemical peels, and micro- needling.  She greets me with assuredness, remaining professional and engaging while applying different treatments as she observes how the skin responds during treatment. As a client, I feel immediately secure, and I do not take for granted that I am in the skilled hands of greatness when I am being serviced at Afterglow Oasis. Kamiliah consistently displays a heightened level of understanding, application, and attention to detail when working to remedy & beautify her clients while prioritizing the usage of safe & sumptuous products. I appreciate her knowledge as a trained professional to produce the ultimate level of quality at an affordable price, and because of her personalized care I can "glow" as well.

I found Pure Aesthetica by doing a pot of research to make sure they use products that don't irritate my skin. Came here before the pandemic and during the pandemic. Their protocols during the pandemic was appreciated and I'm so happy they took precautions because it made me feel confident in going especially that I was desperate. I had some major maskne issues that really needed to be addressed. Tiffany always does my facials and she's great. She tailors the facial according to your needs. I always get the regular 3 in 1 facial. My favorite is the micro current and the oxygen afterwards. It just makes my face so nice, subtle, and soft. Been coming here for about 2 years now and counting! They have specials for new customers so check that out if you're interested in trying. They also get booked very quickly so make sure to book way in advance. Prices are affordable in my opinion. Other places charge over $200 for a facial which does not even include micro current or oxygen or microdermabrasion. The 3 in 1 is so affordable and is about an hour. This is the best quality of facial for your money. Plus staff is fully vaccinated!
