My tech was Yhashen Williams, and I did not catch the name of my daughters tech. Both young ladies were awesome. We were there for over an hour, and was very impressed with the attention to detail. I would highly recommend Beauty Rush. The salon was very clean, and had a nice vibe to it. They only downside I found was the soaking tubs were inserted bowls, and therefore didn't have the normal bubbly foot spas. Overall, I would give them a 10 star rating if I could.

The massage therapist I saw here I couldn't understand anything what she said to me she has an accent that is hard to understand her. I only wanted to get a massage there but the therapist asked me if I wanted to add other services like hot stones and whatever else to my massage I got. It all added up in the end and it was really expensive for everything I got done there and on top of that they didn't take but cash and credit card no checks. The massage therapist was really pushy there kept asking me to make another appointment with them and I told them No. It was a not a good experience I had there will never go back to that place again now I know. Thank you, Jennifer Lin

The treatment area is calming and there is even chocolate available. Waxing can never be described as one of the more enjoyable beauty treatments but it was less painful than some and she was kind and professional. The outcome was excellent. I also indulged in an Indian Head Massage which was amazing. Very relaxing, I get migraines and I found it helped with some tension in my neck. It's a great option if you don't have the time or budget for a full massage. Finally I had my eyebrows threaded, and she did a great job. I asked to have them left full, just cleaned up and she listened! She trimmed them a bit to shape and they look great!

Secondly, when I arrived, there was not a single soul in the whole building. I waited around for 15-20 minutes or so waiting for someone to come up to the front desk.

Complete waste of my time.

I received a call back and was inquiring about the facial services to better understand what they…read moreare since there were no description on the website. See attached photo. i have never been there before so I think it's only fair to ask questions such as how long is the facial etc. I must've triggered some sort of insecurity because she resorted to saying how long she's been doing this which didn't address my question. She became defensive and told me that I should go with whomever I typically go to. Funny thing is I never even said that I was interested in booking an appointment as I was just calling to inquire just like I did with other places in Williamsburg. With that type of customer service over the phone, I wouldn't even bother seeing how it would be like dealing with her in person. I even told her I'm from out of town and only going to Williamsburg for vacation. With that attitude I don't know how you would compete against other places. I rarely publish reviews but felt compelled to write one to help out other consumers who are contemplating whether to try this place out or not. I don't think this person should be in business if you don't know how to help customers. What makes certain businesses last longer than others is when they can provide an overall positive experience from start to end. You really should reassess if you're in the right service industry given its health/wellness-related. I support small facial salons because they tend to be more passionate about what they do and it shows in how they talk about their services. I've been getting facials all over as I travel on vacation almost every month and typically not the same place and I always get a facial or massage in places I've never been to as I like to come home relaxed - after all that's why people go on vacation. I'm not sure why this individual would feel the need to dictate what I do on my time and where I should go for my facial. Response to owner's comment: That is not accurate that I would ask if you would screw up my face. Why in the world would anyone ask that?That doesn't even make sense. I simply was asking what the difference was between the clarifying facial vs the pure results facial, what product you use and if you included extractions. The fact that you said: I'm not at the shop to remember my products" is concerning given how much experience you claim to have and how you say you customize it according to the individual. You couldn't even name one brand! I ask because I prefer organic products and because you couldn't tell me what product you use then what makes you think I would've booked with you to even reject me? My comment was that unlike massages where its likely can't rare to cause any permanent damage in comparison to facials. We only have one face and if someone messes it up due to the product they use or being too hard when doing extractions; this can be irreversible. I explained this was why I was asking questions so I can feel comfortable and understand what your services entail and what product you used, but I never accused you nor directed that towards you or ever questioned your experience. I was surprised she reacted the way she did. The fact that you are being defensive again and turning this around on me speaks the kind of person you are. If you read my review if I wanted to bash you I probably would have said: It's 2025 perhaps if you invested on designing a site that is professional and user friendly then people wouldn't have to call for clarification and ask questions. I should've not even bothered to inquire as soon as I saw how plain your site looked and on top of that it's not even secure. No one has provided a review on your business in Yelp since 2020! For someone who has over 20 years being an esthetician and to only have 3 testimonials on their website? If you are truly as good as you claim to be I would think you'd have more customers raving about you. Even If your facial was free I wouldn't bother going there. There are plenty of places in Williamsburg with owners who are kind and helpful. Perhaps you can learn from Karina from Ardent Skincare. I asked her the same questions I asked you on the same day but see the difference between how she responded to me versus how you did in my attached video. Notice how she didn't need to mention how long she's been an esthetician because it's irrelevant. Besides who would ever tell a potential customer that they suck? I truly hope people see my review. As you can see I've never posted one ever but this person is appalling and people deserve to know her true colors. By the way most business owners appreciate candid feedback. If you can't accept honest reviews then you shouldn't be on here. These are intended for customers to share to help others.

We both had the Laurel type of treatments which is as free of chemicals as possible. One hour each preceded by fact questioning which was pertinent to the treatments. The Laurel line smells so wonderful, a combo of herbs that makes you feel so relaxed but not sleepy. Afterwards I was given a card to use since I live locally for future treatments so I could get a chance to receive a surprise after a certain number of treatments. I also received samples of the Laurel skin cleanser and the sunscreen. I did have the chance to use both and am so impressed by both. Just a smidgen of each applied has improved my complexion. Definitely going to set up regular follow up treatments. Also right after my facial, my complexion felt so calm and not inflamed though I had been following all the correct ways to keep a clearer complexion such as drinking plenty of water, not touching my face, sleeping with my hair pulled away from my face, using cleanser free of perfume, etc. The spa is so very clean and I was quite impressed.
