I recently got a facial from Kirsten, and was a bit disappointed, especially after seeing all the…read moreincredible reviews on Yelp! That was the whole reason I booked, and so I went in with high hopes. Let me start by saying Kirsten is a very kind woman. For the facial itself, there seemed to be much more massage (hands, arms, neck) than treatment. Felt nice, but not what I booked. I had a few white heads, her esthetician-modality doesn't believe in traditional extractions, so these were left untouched. Multiple times, she left the treatment room to let people into the boutique, which took away from feeling relaxed. Lastly, when we wrapped up, I saw it was 30 minutes past the allotted time I booked (ended at 3:50 on my appointment booking, saw my watch around 4:18). I had a commitment at 4:30, so this left me in a pinch. Maybe it was an off day, maybe this is standard, but I will likely not be returning.

The prep work was thorough, extractions were painless and massages were soothing. The products used worked great on my face, based on my skin conditions and what she recommended for me. I typically stay awake for the facials but I was so relaxed that I fell asleep! I left the shop with glowing skin and felt amazing the next morning. Will be making another appointment with her again soon (:

Had a gel manicure peel off three fingers after 48 hours. Generally just room appears dirtier & dirtier each time I go and there's lots of conversation between techs that feels like judgement of clients. UPDATE: Owner personally contacted me and wants me to try again. I have a service scheduled in a couple days. I do think they care,. I'm giving it another try. UPDATE # 2: Went in for my complimentary classic mani/pedi. They were right on it: no waiting, right to business. Both the mani and pedi went well. I did have to ask for a drying machine for my mani, just to be sure it would dry. I'm grateful they offered me this service for free and I feel better about it all. They care and really tried. I left a big tip for both technicians and I will consider coming back again. I should ask for specific people if I do go back. I think it matters.

I spoke with Christine, the owner. Do you know what her response was? She comped me the wax service during which I had been burned on the most sensitive part of my body, gave me a $100 gift certificate, and told me to book with a different technician. Big deal. Girl! I could sue you. The owner's response was weak. During another service, the waxer was high. She pulled my hair out so hard that the hair grew back grey. So I now have 1/2 grey pubic hair and 1/2 black pubic. I kid you not. I have been going to La Tira for 20 years, and I was a loyal customer. Now I've come to my senses. I'm going someplace else.

I did a Signature Facial with Cat the first time and loved how we started with a breathing exercise with oils to set the ambiance. This second time was with Naomi. I had the Gua Sha Facial. We started with LED lights for the arms and hands which was a first for me. Both times were so relaxing I fell asleep. Unfortunately for the second time it was during the gua sha (haha) so I don't remember most of that part. My face was glowing both times. I like how they include tip in the price. I knocked off a star because they charge a $10 credit card fee but the cost is too high to be carrying cash for it. I have bought a Gua sha tool from them, specifically to help with pressure points and migraines. I also got an attar balm recommended by my aesthetician to help with my dry patches on my cheek. I recommend coming here to treat yourself!

My facialist was Winnie, and overall the experience was fine -- efficient and straightforward. The facial itself was thorough, including gentle but effective extractions using the traditional finger method, and they also added a neck massage during the process, which was a nice bonus. They use a combination of Korean skincare products (I noticed Cellmax / Cellmax Fusion). Is it amazing? Not exactly. Not bad, but not excellent either. It's one of those places where you go when you just want to get a facial without needing anything fancy. Would I go back? I'm not sure -- mostly because I no longer live in the area. But when I did live nearby, it was a convenient, reliable option for a quick facial.

This is hands down my favorite place in the city. I recently had a massage with Angela and it was so amazing it finally made me sit down and write this review. It might honestly be one of the best massages I've ever had. She somehow knows exactly where to focus without you having to say much, and I left feeling completely relaxed and reset. I've also seen Chanra many times, and every single time I walk out thinking, "Okay, I really need to leave a review." She is consistently amazing. With both Angela and Chanra, I feel like I completely unplug from everything. It's that kind of massage where you lose track of time and don't want it to end. If you're debating where to book, this is the place. I can't recommend them enough.

Booked a last minute appointment at this place because I saw they do nail art! I decided to opt for a really basic gel manicure and pedicure, as I didn't want to immediately jump in. Thank God I did! Things started out fine, until I started looking at the tools she was using for my pedicure. I'm not a nail tech, but I have eyes, and those eyes told me that those tools didn't look clean! She was using porous tools that also looked used, which is especially gross IMO. I was skeeved out by this, so asked her to just take the polish off my nails and not give me a manicure. She took the unsanitized tools that she used on my feet to my hands and took the polish off, charged me 70 bucks, and sent me on my way. Talk about a chop shop! I wish I had pictures of the tools, but she had my nails soaking in the acetone cotton/ foil combo for 45 minutes while she did my pedicure. Just trust that this place does not look or feel clean at ALL.

My regrettable negatives, if I'm being honest, my nails look like they were done at 10 different salons (20 if you include my toes). Shape and length were not well done even after I asked for them to be evened out to my shortest broken nail. I can shape my nails better and I suck at that. And only after I left did I realize that I didn't get the "chrome" finish on my nails that I selected. 24hrs later the gel polish is already peeling. I paid $80 and left a $20 tip. Pretty disappointed. One of my nails is turning black. I will not return.
