I've been going to Shobha since they are the only ones offering sugaring. I get brazilians so much…read moreless painful with the sugar. The service experience varies with the technician. I personally love the manager Cindy since she is so detail oriented and also fun to chat with. I also liked Raji when she was at this location. The other techs are very sweet but I feel like they miss some hair each time I go there. The salon itself is very clean and they insist on handwashing which I admire. Overall, I would highly recommend for the waxing/sugaring.

1 star -- Severe leg injury from laser treatment, then weeks of being ignored…read more I went in for my very first laser hair removal appointment on June 18th and left with severe burns/injuries covering both my legs (see photos). The marks were still visible almost two weeks later (i'm praying these are not permanent scars). I saw my own doctor on June 24th, who diagnosed an adverse skin reaction to the laser treatment, prescribed prescription-strength steroid cream and a prednisone taper, and explicitly advised me not to return for further treatment at this location. What made it worse was the response after: * The marks became visible the day after my appointment (Friday, June 19th). I was working all day and couldn't call, so I emailed them that same day asking if my legs -- badly swollen and itchy -- were a normal reaction. * Saturday, June 20th: I called right when they opened, since I still hadn't heard back on my email. I sent photos as requested. No callback all weekend, so I ended up at urgent care for a hydrocortisone prescription. * Monday, June 22nd: called again, was told the "lead nurse" would call me Tuesday. Also learned that the petroleum jelly they gave me at my appointment to apply afterward was actually making the injury worse (trapping heat) -- meaning their own staff handed me something that worsened my injury. * Tuesday, June 23rd: no call. Called again, was told the same thing. I also sent a second, detailed email that day explaining everything. Their site advertises a 24-hour email response; I never got one. * Wednesday, June 24th: saw my own doctor, who confirmed the severity and advised against continuing treatment. I called LaserAway to cancel my 8-session contract and was told a director would follow up in 24-48 hours. * I heard nothing. I had a beach vacation starting the very next day, and had to keep my legs covered and out of the ocean the entire trip because of this. * I followed up again after vacation (Monday, June 29th) and was told 24-72 business hours. * Got a callback the next day (Tuesday, June 30th), told -- again -- to send photos so a nurse could "look into it," with a callback promised for tomorrow (which is now today). As of writing this, every single promised callback in this process has either not happened or happened days late, so I'm not optimistic. I've since sent a formal written request for contract cancellation, a full refund, and reimbursement of my medical costs, along with my doctor's documentation. We'll see if that ever gets a response. This is a company whose entire business is aesthetics, and when they visibly injured a first-time client, the response was silence, contradictory advice, and stalling on a contract cancellation while the clock ran on my sessions. My vacation was negatively affected by their negligence. I would not recommend anyone start treatment here.

The reception was professional, clean, and the packets they give you to "freshen up" are so nice! I…read morelove that they ask for your music preferences and then actually put the music on for you. Great attention to detail! I also really like that you actually have the option to wax or sugar. I'm not picky, so my technician actually did both and I though the service was professional, quick, but thorough. I'm not a frequent hair removal gal but I\d come back! Street parking was hard to find so I ended up in a garage across the street which had a strange phone in/out system that I didn't love, but I didn't have to pay so I can't complain that much about that one little parking quirk.

I got my lower legs waxed for the first time EVER on Saturday. When I entered the shop, there was…read moreno one in the lobby to check in with so I hung around for about five minutes (I'd arrived about 10 minutes early, as the website says to do). There are Fiji water bottles in the lobby but no sign by them. I wasn't sure if they were included in the cost of the appointment or cost extra so I didn't take one. Maybe if I was bolder, I wouldve inquired. They sell a number of sugar scrubs and other products that you can use after your sugaring/waxing appointment at home. At 2:30pm, a technician came out with another customer who'd just finished and greeted me after closing out her appointment. I was definitely nervous but my technician put me at ease with light conversation and music (they let you choose what music you want when you schedule your appointment). I had initially made my appointment for sugaring but I was told that my hairs were too short and that wax would work better. I was a bit disappointed because I'd read about sugaring, but happy that my technician was able to provide good advice. It didn't hurt nearly as much as I expected it to. I was in and out in about 45 minutes with silky smooth legs.

Bimala is wonderful! She's a true artist. She makes you feel comfortable and such reasonable rates…read more I have been getting threading (eyebrows/ face/ lips) with her for over 5 years. Very welcoming and good recommendations for skincare. She has a public kiosk location type at Federal Plaza in Rockville as well as a more private location in her home near Aspen Hill area. I've tried both and have not been disappointed. I needed my brows shaped before a family event and she was able to accommodate as late as 8pm in her home office location. Note: Due to home/ cultural rules she will not allow men in her home location and by appointment only at home. The open kiosk services anyone. Walk-Ins and appointments. She accepts Zelle, cards and cash.

First off, I've been getting my eyebrows done for over a decade, literally since I was a child…read more I've never had an issue with the person doing my brows talking on the phone, but this woman did not even give me the decency to pause her conversation for a moment to even speak to me. She just kept motioning as if I was supposed to know what to do, even though it was my first time there. And again, I couldn't care less if you're on the phone, as long as your work doesnt show that you were distracted by that. My eyebrows look horrible. And i truly believe it was because she couldn't stop her conversation for just two moments to properly do my eyebrows or even just ask me what I wanted. Below I will have after and before pictures of my eyebrows. I get them done every 2-3 weeks so I made sure to only include before pictures from the past two weeks. I am so upset.

From my personal experience, she excels with color, highlights, cuts and blowdrys. She is honest, trustworthy and treats you like family. New Wave hair salon is just as amazing as Missy.

You are greeted promptly with a smile and checked in quickly. I can't rave enough about the shampoo/scalp massages given. Carolena is amazing! I am so fortunate Missy came into my life and I am very happy with new wave salon. I would recommend both Missy and the salon to anyone who wants to listen.

Elsa deserves a special mention as well--she is so gentle and thorough, making every hair wash feel relaxing and luxurious. On top of that, the administrative staff is incredibly organized and helpful, always calling with appointment reminders and making scheduling seamless. From start to finish, every visit is a wonderful experience. I highly recommend New Wave Salon to anyone looking for a skilled and caring team!

Parking is plentiful, and the suite is conveniently located on the 2nd floor, and offers tons of privacy with double layered curtains covering the sliding door of the suite.
