Beautifully designed salon - very light and bright…read more I ran into this salon while on a stroll of E 5th street a few weeks ago and it lingered in my mind. I made an appointment online - very quick and easy. Closer to my date, I received an email requesting me to confirm my arrival. Upon confirmation I received an email with parking directions - be sure to follow these instructions! I was confident in where I was going but completely underestimated my ability to get here on time. (Traffic, new parking area, etc.) I ran late and received a call from Louie who was so kind and helpful on the phone. When I arrived to the salon Louie greeted me and tended to me throughout my appointment making sure I was comfortable and offered me a drink. Aaron was my stylist and did an exceptional job. I booked a consultation just prior to my appointment and we talked about my expectations. I had a great experience with Aaron who kept it professional and made the long process bearable. Overall 100% satisfied with my new hairstyle and the service I received. I will be back! And another special shout out to Louie for throwing in a second validation for some extra time in the parking garage. This allowed me to spend a little extra time downtown.

I've been waiting to write my review so I could really give an informed one, but I've been thrilled…read moresince day one. Let's just say this is some of the best money I've ever spent, the other being laser hair removal 16 years ago; vanity meets laziness... I get compliments all the time about how fantastic my brows look. I should just say thanks, but I can't help but launch into a "Thanks, I got them tattooed!" speech. The day of my second touchup I had someone ask me how I got my eyeliner so perfect all the time. Secret's out now! Before I went in I had several e-mail conversations with pictures, and then a phone consultation. I've been wanting to do this for years, but it's scary finding someone you can trust to tattoo your face! There's no hiding it, so I really wanted to be sure. I had my eyebrows and eyeliner done; bold, slight wing on top, mucosal for the lower (outer corners). Before I got my brows done I had been growing them out for about 2 years. I went through a pretty thin phase -I don't even think intentionally- it just happened! Like when you start to gain weight and you don't notice until it's too late, and then you have to give up bread and queso, which is basically impossible. I digress. I had made pretty good progress growing them out, but they were still a little sparse in places. Lauren to the rescue! The Timeline July 27th, 2016 Brows (Round 1) Top Eyeliner (Round 1) Lower Lash Enhancement (Round 1) August 31st, 2016 Top Eyeliner (Round 2) Lower Mucosal (Round 1) A little more bold on the bottom, but still only going about a third of the way in. November 9th, 2016 Brows (Round 2) Top Eyeliner (Round 3) Lower Mucosal (Round 2) February 22nd, 2017 Brows (Round 3) Lower Mucosal (Round 3) Make sure to go in about 2 weeks before/ 2 weeks after your period; the pain is harder to tolerate when you're on your cycle. My first appointment lasted 3.5 hours, about 2.75 hours of tattooing (experiencing the most discomfort during the last 30 minutes). The rest of the time was talking about what I wanted, looking at pictures of her work, numbing my eyes and eyebrows, picking the color I wanted (a dark brown to match my brows, and a black for the eyeliner), and Lauren breaking out a ruler and marking up your face until she's satisfied with the shape. At Lauren's direction the night before I took 50mg of Benadryl, and then about an hour before my appointment I took another 50mg of Benadryl (to reduce tearing up), and 1g of Tylenol (to reduce swelling and pain). Lauren uses a lidocaine gel and lets it sit for a good 20-30 minutes, then she makes a few cuts and adds more lidocaine so you get good and numb. You can hear and feel what's going on, but it doesn't hurt, you mostly feel pressure. She also will reapply more if you ask, or if she notices you start to squirm. I will say by the end of the first session I was exhausted, probably a combination of the tattooing and the Benadryl. I was swollen too, but it wasn't as bad as I expected. You're not supposed to get your work wet for the first week, so Lauren gives you Vaseline or A&D to use as a moisture barrier for when you shower or if you HAVE to work out. She also gives you black tea bags to help the redness and swelling, and a coconut, honey, lavender oil that she makes to apply 3-5 times a day for the first few days to keep it moist and promote healing. Your tattoos will crust over, DO NOT PICK AT THEM. You just have to suck it up for a few days. I found the first 2 days to be the most uncomfortable, if you're worried about it you can get your doc to prescribe a low does pain killer. You can't wear makeup (specifically eye makeup, but you really want to keep your face as dry as possible, so it's easiest to just wear nothing and do a quick wash with a damp cloth, don't put your face under the shower!) until you're healed up, so mentally prepare yourself for that if you wear it every day. Trust me, it will be worth it. The followup rounds Lauren just worked on adjusting the shape, making the top eyeliner thicker at my request, and filling out the color. They took only about an hour each time, 20-30 minutes to numb, and 20-30 minutes to tattoo. Swelling and pain were also reduced. I am beyond thrilled with the results. I only wear mascara and blush most days, sometimes a quick sweep with eyeshadow. ...BB cream and powder if I'm having a break out. Makeup never takes me more than 2 minutes. I've used eyeliner 3 times since July 2016, for some heavy, smokey, eyes. It's a special occasion thing now. I've moved on to obsessing over skincare now. DO IT! **I'll add photos soon.

My first Russian manicure experience exceeded every expectation. Adelia is an incredibly skilled…read morenail artist, and her level of precision and craftsmanship is immediately evident. I came in with very short nails that had some recent damage, and she completely transformed them into something elegant and refined. The Russian manicure process itself is meticulous and gentle, focusing on detailed cuticle work without harsh chemicals. It's clear that this technique prioritizes nail health while also creating a beautifully elongated nail appearance and delivering a flawless, refined result. I chose a deep burgundy shade, and the finish is sleek, sophisticated, and beautifully executed. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and the time spent truly reflects the quality of the work. When I got home and saw my nails in natural light, I was genuinely amazed -- they look polished, chic, and effortlessly classy. This is by far the best my nails have looked all year. If you're looking for elevated nail artistry and exceptional attention to detail, Adelia is someone you want to book with.

They specialize in the Russian manicure technique, and offer quality services that are definitely worth the price.

My nail tech Diana was super friendly and nice, and is who I believe did my sister's nails our last visit. She even remembered me, lol! I got the basic Russian manicure, plus removal of previous work, and a gel layer plus nail art. I decided to do a French manicure inspired nail with rounded tips, a light, baby blue base with dark sparkly blue tips. My nails were far from the spookiness of the holiday I got them on, but I've gotten numerous compliments on them all month. But I have to say my most favorite thing about getting my nails done here is the complimentary cappuccino with chocolate. You are more than welcome to other drinks, but now, I can never get my nails done ever again without a cappuccino paired with them!
