This company is so special. I had been officially wooed upon my first visit to Spur Line in Sept…read more2017 when I experienced their products after casually strolling through their corner of the venue. It was realllly hard to narrow down my purchasing choices, but settled on the primrose lip tint and rosehip + thistle perfume roller, which I loooooveeeee. I had the opportunity to learn so many fascinating details from Cebastian & Robin about Dryland Wilds, and our unique plant life, in a lovely workshop at Spur Line this past week. In this particular class, we put our hands and noses to work, compounding and mixing, putting together some customized resin incense creations...it was a blast, my house smells amazing, and I'm looking forward to sending some Dryland Wilds gifts off to friends who've moved out of state and miss the sites and smells of our high desert heaven.

I'm workin' on three weeks of applying an all natural, sans-aluminum deodorant from this company,…read moreand I might as well throw out my old stick, I'll never use it again. My tiny, two ounce jar of Desert Deodorant from Dryland Wilds is such a powerful and intense product, a teensy dab does my pits plenty, just once a day, and I often sniff myself, if only to be briefly transported to the air of Abiquiu. This is an incredible company, with a simple approach to sourcing health and beauty products in harmony with the natural world. I'm so glad they call New Mexico home. A few more brief notes. Robin Moore and Cebastien Rose are transplants from California and the Pacific Northwest, with plenty of experience crafting products from plants and herbs. They moved to northern New Mexico to live a life in the high desert wilds, while running a business that sustainably expanded our knowledge and appreciation for native species. Alongside the product line, they teach small classes at various festivals and businesses around the state; last week, I had the pleasure of hand-moulding tree sap incense, infused with flowers and essences, and I learned that much of what I thought I knew about the shrubs and weeds of this state were common misperceptions. Basically, if you want to heal yourself, you can start in your own backyard. And that's why these marvelous women satisfy my personal narrative about why I live here. I grew up in the midwest, where natural beauty -- from lakes and streams to lush green forests and abundant wildlife -- were an assumed aspect of everyday existence. The harsh sunlight and dry climate of my second home, in Albuquerque, was an altogether opposite journey where I learned to appreciate the subtleties and tremendous power of the overlooked: the hues of a mesa or a sunset, a sage breeze drifting past my nose, the quiet resilience of an ever-thirsty land. I'm quite sure that Robin and Cebastien have an even stronger appreciation for these daily observations, and their products reflect a philosophy that makes me wanna smear my sweaty, stanky pits with arrowroot powder and milk of magnesia on the regular.

The ambiance was serene and peaceful as she plays calming music and makes you feel comfortable. She is very knowledgeable and guided me through the process tailoring my facial to my specific skincare needs. The products she used are 10/10 quality and smell divine. What really stood out to me was how moisturized and clear my skin felt considering I had a lot of clogged pores and very dry skin. I not only felt relaxed but more confident in my skin after she was done and still feel days later. I cannot recommend her enough! I can't wait to book my next appointment with Daniela. You will not be disappointed.

I was in desperate need of a same-day appointment and this was the only place that would take me (I…read morewas very thankful), but after texting with them for two hours, as I was on my way to my appointment, they said that I would not be able to get waxed, even though I met all criteria that is standard to every other spa. When I explained this, they responded with "Ok" twice - so unprofessional to be texting anyway, and poor customer service. After moving from Florida, I am very disappointed in the quality of customer service from this place. I was also sent via text the terms and agreement, which I don't think serves as a formal/legal agreement. Unfortunately yelp let me down on this one. :(

I do not recommend Shelley Chavez and her services. I wish I could give negative stars for this…read moreexperience. She is unprofessional and lacks communication skills that a business owner needs to have a successful business. I had gotten 2 or 3 brow waxes from her when the last one burned my skin pretty bad. I brought it up to her and she offered the next one free. Did not state a timeline or anything about when service had to be completed. I waited before re-booking because I was nervous about the same thing happening again. When I decided to rebook, she then did not respond. When I went to check her Instagram realized I was blocked. I have attached a photo of the burn from the service (a few days after, it was worse but did not think it was from the service as I have had my brows waxed for years which was why I waited to take a photo and send it to her). When I reached out about being blocked when owed a service (that SHE offered) she attacked me by saying I was harassing her and she didn't know why I was still contacting her. I didn't realize a text asking why I was blocked when owed a service was harassment? But definitely bad customer service to treat someone like this. I looked up her licensure on the NM regulation and licensure website as well as BBB and found no license information for her. There is a record of the establishment and a license issued June 23,2020 when I was serviced June 1, 2020 before her facility license was active (according to rld.state.nm.us). I am going to take this up with the state to see why there is no record of her and how she serviced me before the license was active. She refused to work with me & did not even try to do the right thing after harming my skin. I had kindly asked for a refund in which she blocked me instead of trying to have a conversation. Who knows if she is working without a license & when she performs a service that harms someone (in this case me) chooses to block them instead of making things right. I know that I was not out of line in my communication with her. There is nothing listed on her Instagram (as of November 11, 2020) that states any sort of timeline for free services or even her licensure. This may change after this review but I do not believe she has a license as I couldn't find her name and license information online. She has now blocked me on Instagram and my phone number. I think this shows her character as an "esthetician" and her lack of confidence with her services/company to block someone who did no wrong. (I'm attaching photos of her not responding/accusing me of harassment/blocking my number since the last text was not delivered). You can read my texts and see I was kind and respectful and simply asking a question for her to react like this.. I know she is recruiting people to write positive reviews and I do not doubt they have had good experiences. But I did not and was treated terribly for no reason and do not think my review should be discredited. If she treated me like this it's likely she could treat someone else this way as well.

I went to Unique Boutique and Eyebrown Designs yesterday. I usually go to Eyebrow Designer 21 in…read morethe mall to get threaded, but there was literally a line about 10 people long, and I couldn't wait that long. I had seen signs outside of the Unique Boutique, and I was in the area. This is a cute little shop. You walk in and there are different kinds of clothes. There was a really nice selection of winter hats and scarfs. The young lady who was working there that day was really nice. She took me into the back to get threaded. The girls in the mall literally take 3-4 minutes to thread my brows. She took a little longer than the girls in the mall do (about 10-15 mins), but she was also very particular and got EVERY stray hair. My eyebrows were slightly thinner than I wanted, but they are super clean. She also put a soothing aloe gel on them afterwards, which was new to me. It felt really refreshing and took away the redness right away. This place is also cheaper than the mall by $2-$3, which is great. It's located in the Montano shopping center...near Albertsons and Hastings. I think I'll be going back to Unique Boutique and Eyebrow Designs.
