Because it is literally a small business, customers wait in their vehicles to be texted to come in. I met with Laurie. She was personable and very skilled. She made me very comfortable.

Nothing steely and cold about it. I look forward to supporting this business for my future waxing needs.

Over time, EWC has gotten more corporate and less customer-focused... it reflects in the way waxing…read moretechniques have changed, how the quality and experience of the estheticians has gone down, the the flexibility of any employee (from managers to front desk staff to technicians) to provide customer solutions over sheer profit, and more. I've had to change waxers over and over again because the estheticians are constantly leaving. First, I have to work hard with the actual service providers to build a relationship over several months to get my services "right." In the 15 min appts it is hard to express the exact brow shape you're looking for, in example. Or, sometimes the technique being used is unnecessarily painful compared to another provider I'd worked with prior. Then, after 6 months it's finally right and then the technician leaves, and the cycle begins again. Plus, EWC is constantly selling to you. "Buy a wax pass" or "try this product." I can't tell you how many worthless unused EWC products I have sitting under my sink that aren't effective, or how many times I wish I had never purchased a wax pass... so I wouldn't be locked in to coming back here when it just keeps getting worse. I don't recommend EWC. Here, or at any other location (by the way, there is no manager here, and they canceled an appt once bc the opener missed her alarm clock, and both of my waxers left bc this whole location is a hot mess)! It's time for me to move onto better, more clientele-focused businesses... even if it leaves my money on the table with the wax pass I was stupid enough to purchase. Like, I would literally rather lose my money than come back here. I hope someone reads this and it helps them pick a better option!

I honestly have no idea how it took me so long to find Sugared + Bronzed.I think I may have seen it…read moreand assumed it wouldn't be affordable because it's a custom spray tan, but I am so glad I finally tried them. This is truly the best formula I've ever used. I've done it all: at-home products like St. Tropez, Loving Tan and B.Tan, and every spray option at places like Palm Beach Tan, but nothing has ever given me that deep, natural, authentic-looking tan the way Sugared + Bronzed does. Beyond the quality of the tan itself, the experience is always great. The staff is consistently super kind and welcoming. They can be a little chatty at times, but honestly I think it's just their way of making an otherwise slightly awkward situation feel comfortable since you're usually in a vulnerable setting/half naked during a spray tan. Lauren did my most recent spray and it might be the best one I've had yet. I would highly recommend everyone try them at least once, you really do get what you pay for.

The first time I went to Salon Vela and got a haircut from Jessica, I loved it. Months later, 3…read moremonths postpartum, I wanted to chop my hair into a simple bob -- nothing complicated, just a short, clean cut with thin face frames. My hair was falling out, always tied back, and giving me headaches. I desperately wanted something easy to manage so I could feel human again. To make it worse, it was my birthday weekend, and I wanted to treat myself to a haircut that would help me feel better. When I called I specifically asked for Jessica, but I couldn't make the times she was available. The salon gave me a list of other stylists. They quoted me $65 and told me Kendall, a "level 1 stylist," could take me. I checked their website -- Jessica was also listed as "level 1," so I figured no problem. At no point did anyone tell me Kendall was still learning, still a student, or not ready to do a bob haircut. If they had, I would have waited or gone elsewhere. The haircut with Kendall took nearly 3 hours. She split my hair into a million tiny sections, moved painfully slow, and kept stopping to fuss with my hair. She was gentle after I told her I had a sensitive scalp, which I appreciated, but the actual cut? A disaster. I rushed out to get home to my baby, but once I looked closely at home, I realized my hair was an uneven, jagged mess. So yes -- I had to spend my birthday weekend with a botched haircut that made me feel worse than before. I'm not confrontational, but I messaged Kendall on Instagram. To her credit, she admitted the cut was uneven. I gave her a second chance -- against my better judgment -- because I thought maybe with guidance she could fix it. She told me her boss would help her. That gave me some reassurance. When I went back, she apologized and sat me down. I asked about her boss. She went and got him -- he came out from the back (where he was eating lunch), looked at my hair, pointed out everything she did wrong, and gave her instructions on how to fix it. He reassured me that they had "practiced over the weekend" and she'd be able to do it. Then he left after 5 minutes. So there I was again, sitting in Kendall's chair. For the next 2.5 hours she brushed my hair nervously over and over, looking like a deer in headlights, hoping it would somehow fix itself. Meanwhile, I watched the boss and another stylist take multiple clients each -- they both did two full clients, started on third -- while I was still stuck there with Kendall struggling and making no real progress. By that point, I was crying in the chair. Imagine: 3 months postpartum, hair falling out, hoping for a haircut to make you feel better -- and instead sitting there for hours while the stylist is clearly clueless and the boss, who admitted she messed up, refuses to fix it. When I finally asked him to step in and please just fix my hair, he brushed me off. His exact words were "Nobody has time for you. You'll have to come back again. I can't fix it for you today." Let that sink in: I came back specifically because Kendall messed up the first time. I gave them a chance to make it right. Instead of fixing it himself -- which would have taken him 20 minutes -- he chose to take her other client and leave me sitting there in tears getting experimented on. If he was going to take any client, it should have been me. That is basic accountability. I told him I couldn't keep coming back -- it's a 35-minute drive each way, plus another 3 hours sitting in that chair. I said I didn't want to come in a third time. His response? A shrug and: "We'll just refund you. I don't know what you want me to do. My niece has been waiting for me. Nobody can fix your hair today." That's it. After nearly 6 hours wasted across two visits, tears in the chair, and a botched haircut, his solution was to brush me off and refund me.
