I moved to this area 3 years ago and I found the Pink Lotus while looking for a new hair stylist…read more In finding one I found Tonya! I always felt welcome anytime that I came into her salon. She became my wax tech. It was only natural to support her new passion, teaching. I decided to get a Brazilian wax and my eyebrows done by her students. Both which could be uncomfortable for different reasons. However, she made what could have been an uncomfortable service very pleasant. I was very at ease as she was patient with her students all while making sure I was comfortable. Her new location allows for the much needed privacy and offering a full spa experience. I would highly recommend the Pink Lotus whether you're a client looking for a great experience or a student looking for a great school and instructor this is the place you want to go!
