I went back and forth between deciding to book and ended up doing so. I used their online booking site which gives you all the details and their policies. Eye brow sugaring and tinting came to $35. My appointment was with Amber, she was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I enjoyed my appointment Amber and I talked about skincare and she gave me some tips to help with a blemish on my cheeks. They also offer facials which I have an appointment booked for 5/16. I think this will be my go to spot! I recently received a HANdWRITTEn card from the owner which is a plus. I believe they are also expanding their suite. I can't wait to see what it looks like on my next visit.

They are super quick, and from what I've heard, all their waxes are done similarly, so you can't go wrong with having anyone wax you here. I've personally only been to Aaliyah, but it was the fastest Brazilian I've ever had, and done in 12 minutes. Unlike my previous waxing establishment, you immediately strip down to whatever you need to expose right away in the room (Aaliyah turned around for this part to prepare for my wax), and then lay right on the table. I got my Brazilian done and then I got dressed and went out to pay. She cleaned off the table for her next client as I was getting dressed. She immediately took the next client. It was a quick & smooth process- I was amazed at how it was done so quickly & efficiently. They have so many specials (for example- I got the June Brazilian special for $45!!! That's $20 less than my previous spot). I will definitely return. It's a nicely decorated spot, but no extra frills- get what needs to get done and you're out within a good time frame.

Definitely come and check this place out! Was very impressed with overall service. Worth the value!read more

The owner was nice and greeted me and said she would be right with me. At 15 mins past my appointment time she said sorry I'm running behind I'll be with you as soon as I can. Finally at 1140 she says I can sit down, 40 minutes past my appointment time. The lady that was getting her nails done seemed happy(good for her I guess), but I made an appointment for a reason. I'd read the bad reviews, and decided to give the place a try anyways. Like I said, the ladies are nice and my nail turned out ok, but that didn't make the extra 40 mins worth it. Update(20OCT2018): So that denting happened the NIGHT I had my nails done. I paid $62 for nails that dented within hours and they didn't get started until 40 mins after my appointment time. Update(7:00PM same day) My thumbnail popped off.

I've been doing botox for years and I have no shame admitting it to anyone. :) Since moving to…read moreVirginia, I've struggled with finding a new "Botox Master". The secret with great botox comes from the person holding that needle. Trust me, when you find your "Botox Master", you will be AMAZED at the results and you won't ever want anyone else doing your botox again. My search here in Virginia has led me to experience some bad results. Thus, I decided to find a place where the DOCTOR actually does the administering. This was harder than I thought! I finally found Dr. Guarda and made an appointment. The office was very beautiful and the entire staff were all wonderful, polite and very professional. Dr. Guarda spent a lot of time with me discussing my past botox experiences from what went wrong to what I loved. She is one of few, that believes in the conservative approach. She would rather inject less botox, wait for the results and then have you return if you need more rather than do too much, and have the client left with bad results for months. I loved this about her and agreed! I've have experienced droopy eyelid several times here in Virginia from estheticians doing too much botox, so I really prefer to do less botox up front and then tweak it later with more if needed. Dr. Guarda was never pushy and didn't try to sell me a bunch of products and or services irrelevant to the reason I was there. She just addressed my botox concerns and worked her magic. She did draw up the botox directly in front of me - which I highly recommend to anyone getting botox! You have a right to know you are getting the Botox you are paying for and not the cheaper form. There were no ice packs before/during/after treatment. However, her injections were gentle and I didn't experience any swelling, discomfort or bruising.

I made an appointment over the phone while driving, and found the place fairly easily. There isn't much parking, but there are at least 5/6 spots available for the massage shop and it's neighbor, a speciality bakery. This place is a one woman show - a woman named Yvette. I ended up having 2 massages because the first one was so amazing. My first massage was a traditional Swedish massage. AMAZING! I've had about 100+ massages in my life and this was hands down the best. That is until my second massage from Yvette. My second appointment consisted of a quick leg wax and a hot stone massage. I had never had a hot stone massage before and I loved it. The best part was how attentive Yvette was telling me about her massage process and making sure I was happy throughout the process. Often massage therapists just do their thing. After my massage Yvette gave me some advice on stretching and techniques I could use at home to help with the tightness in my back. Super professional. Super friendly. Super Therapist!!! I LOVE THIS PLACE. You will too!

My review is based upon the service and experience I have received here. To try to put it shortly,…read moreI am most concerned with their cancellation process. I canceled my subscription in January due to not having time to come in the salon anymore. They stated I had to cancel in person, so I completed the cancelation with the front desk person. They told me I was good to go and would not be charged again. I could use my remaining one credit at another date. No further action required by me. Great. Fast forward to May 1st, I notice I have been charged $140 each month since January from MassageLuxe! I draft an email, send it to my local store, and call the center the following day. They state they will forward the request to regional manager. The regional manager calls me later that day and says they have no record of my cancellation. How convenient. Turns out they do not send receipts for cancellations. Ah ha! The regional manager says she can understand how I may think this is tedious but they need records of me cancelling, it's just business. Excuse me, well why maintain the record if you can just continue to charge me right? She stated "I signed a business agreement that states that I would cancel in writing". Why did the location tell me to cancel in person? I did that already! This is completely unfair. I then ask to speak to her manager. They do not give out their number she states, but would email on my behalf and follow up perhaps Monday. I'll update if they do so. Side note, when I had a membership the massages always started late, which caused the service to be shorter. I would wait in the waiting room sometimes 10-15 minutes after my massage start time. I never felt like it was really fair.

I ended up getting their monthly membership, and I'm excited to get these monthly! I recommend giving them a go- it was a relaxing experience, and they do offer some good deals, although the front desk does seem a bit "sales-driven," which isn't the best thing. Look past that, stay strong with how you feel, and go from there. Your body may thank you.
