It is very disappointing to write an updated review that is the polar extreme of a previous positive review. This business has made a huge downward spiral in service since they were once a kiosk only and since my last review.
For convenience I go here when I don't feel like going to my primary salon in Philly. For a few months now, I have been trying to work with the staff here but my most recent visit was enough for me to say NO MORE. My usual threader, Komal either does not work here any longer or is not here on the days I have been in for service. She was awesome at threading brows. Since I have been going to other threaders for my eyebrows for the past few months, I have noticed the inconsistency in the results of the service. At best my eyebrows were threaded from acceptable to mediocre. It is discouraging to get a service not kowing if you will or will not be satisfied with the outcome.
So I tried another service, a Brazilian waxing. This was one of most horrifying experiences ever. If it had been my first time getting this service, I would have never gotten another one in my life. Wax was everywhere... my stomach, legs and to make matters worse, I had to assist the Esthetician in cleaning the wax off of me. She kept pulling repeatedly at least 5 times before she could remove a patch of hair. Clearly, I have no words to express my disgust.
My most recent experience was underarm waxing with an Esthetician I had used once before who I wasn't thrilled with but not enough not to give her the benefit of the doubt. Well, all was going okay until I noticed that she had torn a piece of the paper used to cover the table before a customer lies down and placed it on the floor. As she finished spreading the wax under my arms, she would take the stick with the wax and drop it on the paper she had placed on the floor. YES, floor NOT trash can!!! How many ways can I say RATCHET.?. To add insult to injury, once done she asked if I wanted oil or soothing cream to apply to my underarms. I chose the soothing cream. She passed the tube to me to put it on myself.. WHAT???? I informed her that I was used to this being applied by the Esthetician. In my experience this has been the type of service that she was suppose to provide. Obviously, this feature is SELF-SERVICE here.
I can't write another word about this experience. I just CAN'T! I will not be returning and can only advise others to make their own personal decision after becoming informed by reading ALL the reviews.
My recommendation is training is needed in the basics of customer service and consistent results... read more
