Her professionalism, compassion, and skill has rectified a situation that has always caused me great concern and embarrassment. I can't say enough how her consideration for both aspects of the procedure, both medical and visual results, alleviated my apprehension and anxiety, and reassured and comforted me. I am thrilled beyond belief with the results. I recently went swimming and didn't feel self-conscious! I highly recommend Kathleen, her colleagues and her studio.

This was my first tattoo and to have it done on my eyes was nerve-racking to say the least but it could not have been a better experience! And I love the results! The appointment was made online so I could pick the date and times that worked for me. The office space was easy to find and very clean! Kristin thoroughly explained the healing process and already booked my follow up! I especially recommend her to new customers considering enhancing their eyes, brows, or lips. It is worth every penny and you will not regret your decision!

It was super easy to book an appointment online using Vagaro. Upon arrival, I was greeted by Maria who was super friendly and welcoming. We talked about what I wanted for my brows, from the shape to the tint and everything in between. She is absolutely meticulous and took the time to draw and pencil before starting the process. I walked out absolutely in love with my brows and cannot wait to go back!! I even left with a card with instructions on how to care for my laminated brows which was helpful. The only thing I'd change is the smell of the product, and I know she can't help that !!

How have I not written a review of Lyric Hill? What is this years-long oversight? I first…read morediscovered Lyric Hill Farm's goat milk soap at a farmers' market back in 2014 or 2015 -- after buying a few bars of their rosemary mint soap, I was absolutely hooked. Over the years I've purchased different scents (all made with natural herbs and milk from the farm's goats) and even bought mini versions as favors for my sister's baby shower in 2017... get it? Soap? Shower? Ha! Most recently, I've been smitten with the lavender goat milk powdered laundry detergent. I love the charming tin it came in and it's awesome that Nancy (the farm/biz owner) will also offer refill purchases so you don't have to buy a new tin each time. I'm on my third refill and just got a 64 oz bag so that'll last me a while. It's so nice to get the scent of fresh natural lavender when I'm washing clothes instead of a noseful of chemicals. It's the little things! The farm is a lovely place to visit and a really nice drive leading up to it. Granby has some scenic roads for sure - plus, stopping by for laundry detergent gave me an excuse to hit up Grassroots for some ice cream down the road!

Crystal stressed that each facial is customized to the customer's needs. For every step we took in the process, she made sure to explain the ingredients and what it'll do to my face. Not only was it a great facial, but she also goes above and beyond to make sure that you're taking care of your skin properly. She was kindly shared tips on nutrition, skincare routine and what products to avoid, to use, etc. I'm new to the area and she also was quick to recommend restaurants, things to do, etc. Overall, she's just an enjoyable person to be around and chat with. After I left, I immediately told all of my girlfriends this is THE place to go for a facial in Saratoga as none of them have found places that they like here. This is also at a great location right off of Broadway. The atmosphere was inviting and peaceful. The entire set up was thoroughly cleaned and smelled of lavender (my fave).

I have problematic skin mixed with stress and she walked me through the process of taking care of my skin at home as well as which products I would need. I can't wait to return and see her! I wish I had taken a picture of the glow I had walking out of her establishment. FACES has such a peaceful and inviting atmosphere. The location is tucked right around the corner from the main strip. But don't be weary, the seclusion is like a well kept secret. Sort of an invite only establishment, lol!! Everything about FACES from the moment I walked in made me feel comfortable that my skin was in good hands. Lastly, during my appointment from consultation to treatment, each step felt effortless. I didn't realize how much time had passed and was almost disappointed that I had to leave! Thank you Crystal and see you soon!! -Kim

Meet Katherine Elizabeth (KE)- the badass with the steady hands and a heart of gold. Tucked in the…read moreback of Skin City Tattoo on Broadway in Kingston, NY, KE's piercing studio is more than just a space. Think cozy nook meets pink-covered table to lay down+funky charm and completely professional. It's the kind of spot that puts you at ease fast, whether you're getting your first piercing or your tenth. I'm usually not the type to follow other people's fashion or styling sense- but there's one influencer I was drawn to. Not because she has a bohemian vibe (ok, yes) but her content is inspiring and bold. And when she got her daith, I said to myself, "well, it's not a tattoo nor will I have a piercing on my face" (no offense to anyone). So a daith it was! When I began reading up on piercers in my area, KE won. She's fierce at what she does and a true expert who knows a woman's body like a freaking book. Oh...and she's funny as hell! Since I'm new to a daith piercing, she took care of me real good. She was gentle and knew exactly how to make my piercing experience smooth and fun. Whether you start with a classic U-shaped barbell or go for a sleek hoop like I did with a diamond-edge sparkle, because hey... style matters, KE will help you through it all. And the jewelry? Let's just say your options aren't basic. From titanium to rose gold, tiny studs to bold hoops, she has a range of styles and metals that match every vibe. So yes, my piercing is great- but the experience was even better. And let's be clear- KE doesn't play when it comes to safety. She's always gloved up, every tool sanitized, every surface spotless. I felt totally confident that I was in a clean and professional space where safety came on top. Aside from the daith piercing, I also changed an existing top piercing with a compression black onyx(?) stud that I totally fell in love with. When everything was said and done with the two earrings, the daith piercing and a saline piercing mist, $162 was worth it. She takes appointments but walk-ins are totally cool too. If you're ready to get pierced by someone who just gets it, KE's your girl.
