Through a series of dermatological issues and previous medical interventions (laser hair removal),…read moremy armpit hair is scant. Those dermatological issues make shaving difficult as it irritates this area for me. My last pit wax was about 3 years ago, and I have about a dozen or so hairs that grow in both pits. I came in here on the spur of the moment a week or so ago as it is close to the gym I go to in order to get them waxed. There is plenty of parking in front of this salon. I was immediately greeted and checked in. Within moments of being seated, I was taken upstairs to have the service performed. I am unsure how handicapped people are handled for going up the stairs. The table for me to lay on was a bit high (I am 5' on a good day), and it was a bit of a jump to get up on it. But, the process was quick and relatively painless, and the waxer was very concerned about the temperature of the wax and my comfort which was nice. We went back downstairs and I paid. $15 for waxing! Impressive price for such professionalism. I will be back for future services. The salon was very neat, clean and smelled good. I do love a good Aveda salon as it is my preferred product.

I LOVE Mimi's Laser Alternatives!! I will recommend this place to anyone that asks!…read more Mimi is just a wonderful, kind, personable lady! She is down-right lovable! She is friendly and always professional, going the extra mile for all of her clients. She goes as far as to recommend the best option for you, which could end up saving you money compared to a more expensive treatment you thought you needed. That cuts in on her income, but she does it anyway because she's just an honest woman looking out for your best interests!! Not to mention, the amount of time she spends with you to explain it all and answer every single question you have! We need more people like her in this world! I did a little bit of digging before choosing to try out Mimi's, and this place is one of the cheapest permanent hair removal locations in the area. I had a 3 session package for underarm hair removal. She started with a lower intensity for safety reasons initially. I thought it had no effect, but the hairs fell out on their own after a few weeks, and I was surprised! The second and third sessions were with higher intensity, and you do feel a bit more during the treatment. The flashes of light hurt a tiny bit, but as most of us women know, it's like a mosquito bite compared to ripping out your hair with an epilator or wax strip! After 3 sessions, you really see the difference! Even after months of leaving it alone, I basically have no more hair growth in my armpits! There are a few stragglers that I could probably take care of with her touch-up appointments, but those stragglers are so fine and thin now, they're hardly noticeable. Every woman sick of shaving/waxing/epilating should visit Mimi!!!

I've tried waxing , plucking, and "drawing" in my brow. Those short term fixes were just that, short term. My dermatologist prescribed hair growth ointment and advised me to stop waxing and plucking at my eyebrows. One of his staff members suggested eyebrow threading for maintenance during my treatment. Of course I looked to Yelp for reviews, pictures and suggestions. I came across Esthetique Facial Spa on Adams Street. No appointment necessary for threading services. I walked in, signed in, and was threaded all in a matter of 20 minutes. Upon arrival one client was already in the chair, which is directly in the front to the left of the spa. My esthetician was calm and steady handed, she's everything previously described by other Yelpers. She shaped my eyebrows perfectly, paying much respect to my scar. Not as painful as I thought. My service was $10. I will definitely return in 2 weeks. Additional parking in the back.
