I was very pleased with today's service!…read more The aesthetician being available at the last minute was the first plus. I had an appointment elsewhere today but due to unforeseen circumstances, it was canceled and I was searching all over for a lash extension service before heading out of town. I reached out to three businesses, assuming most would be closed on Monday... Gratefully this business was open and had several appointment times for me to choose from. *hand claps* I saw pictures of their work online so I knew the quality of work was on point before I made an appointment. The establishment is run professionally, appears very clean, and I enjoyed their taste in music. I fell asleep at least twice but the aesthetician was very gentle (and didn't wake me) and I was pleased with the outcome. Lastly, I appreciate this business is owned by a Black woman. I enjoy being purposeful in buying Black and supporting women whenever I can! I'll be back in two weeks for a refill.

Lash lift did not work. I've had them done before at other salons in St. Louis with great outcomes…read more This time, the lashes were left clumpy, they did not curl upright or lay evenly across the upper lid, and today - day after - it looks like nothing was done. A waste of $75 dollars. I would like to support this local salon but given this poor experience for a basic service I cannot trust the quality expectations of the business. If this artist's work was deemed sufficient to pass them into a position of a professional provide and it was sub par, I won't risk attempting another try at this or another service at this salon because quality standards are lacking judging by this service. Very frustrating because I rarely spend $ on beauty given my tight budget and this was a waste of time and dollars.

Marina offers online scheduling and she really does book out at least a month in advance. You can, however, find last minute appointments if you really stalk her online scheduling site. I see Marina for a brazilian, inner thigh, and eyebrow wax. Not only is Marina meticulous and thorough but she is FAST. Like, less than 20 minutes and your brazilian is finito! She makes an ordinarily painful process absolute painless. Going to see Marina is like going to hang out with a girlfriend who just happens to be a master at waxing. Her pricing is very reasonable for the quality of service she consistently provides. Go check her out.. you won't regret it!

It's fairly lengthy (yes more lengthy than this review) and strenuous but I believe it's only right to share my story regarding my experience with this business and my artist, Miriam. I initially came to her wanting microblading done because I grew up during the 'thin brow fad' in the 90s and I rarely wear makeup so I wanted a more "natural yet maintenanced" look. I will be the first to say that in the cosmetic world, I am very naive and uninformed though I tried to educate myself on this specific procedure but I partially believe she may have taken advantage of my lack of knowledge. The entire process has been a complete upset and it's such a shame because the ladies were so nice while being in their presence but there was a huge lack of concern/care once I left the office (both times) and the reality of the results set in. I would text picture updates and ask questions about my healing phase and never got responses back, I called the business and also tried contacting her via Instagram where we originally met/talked. Nothing. She would actively post stories on her account but couldn't take the time to respond to a worried client.... since I was not getting any replies from my own artist, I went to a handful of others in the area with my questions regarding my results and they have all claimed that instead of microblading, Miriam looked to have attempted a tint & shade or powderbrow instead which is very frustrating for me because I showed her countless Before and After photos of women with thin eyebrows like mine and the look I wanted.. needless to say that's not what I got in return. I truly feel like I was robbed of my money and on top of that, I still decided to OVERtip her each session for her time even though her and I both knew I would leave unsatisfied and uneasy about things. At the end of the day, I'm MORE disappointed with the lack of compassion and attentiveness from my artist than I am the actual results.... and that's saying ALOT seeing how they turned out. Looking back on the situation I 100% believe it was all about the money and not having pride in her work and wanting to make things right. It took a lot of time, courage, trust and budgeting for me to finally take the steps to do this procedure and my heart is completely broken about how everything played out. I would also like to add that I know this ink is different than regular tattoos but I am tatted up and never had this issue with ink being pushed out, as she claimed happened. Also, I feel like she always danced around the issue and gave me the run around instead of being honest about my situation until everything was said/done and paid for. I naturally have dry skin and refrained from any type of excersing for 2 weeks after each session to assure I did not irritate or disrupt the healing process... in retrospect I just wish I would've put that money to better use. $700 down the drain. The result speaks for itself. Lesson learned

My esthetician was nice but seemed new. She spoke to me the whole time and she was pleasant but I was hoping to just lay and relax (granted I probably could have said something). I don't think I received any extractions, so I either have the best skin ever, or that step was skipped. I also didn't receive any brow shaping or plucking which was a little bit of a let down as I was letting my eyebrows get bushy thinking they would get done at my appointment. The face massage was also lacking in my opinion. She was going in circles around my face with her fingers but not using any technique or pressure for it to feel special. I'm sure the products they used were nice for my skin! I didn't notice a huge difference but I've only gone once and didn't have any skin issues before coming. My favorite part was them giving me moisturizer to take home. When I received my gift card it came with a box full of goodies which was very nice and made me feel quite pampered. I would maybe look into the esthetician before going to make sure you get someone with good reviews or experience. I think my issues could have been addressed if I spoke up, but I felt awkward and didn't.
