After my first appointment, I intentionally started booking with other estheticians at this location, and those experiences were excellent. I never had any issues with pain or my skin. This time, I didn't realize I had been assigned to Emillee again. During the waxing, I repeatedly asked her to be gentler because the pain was unbearable, but she continued anyway. The experience was extremely painful, and afterward my skin developed blisters. I've had waxing done many times before, including by other staff at this location, and I've never experienced anything like this. Throughout the appointment, she repeatedly commented that I had darker skin and darker hair. Those comments made me feel very uncomfortable and singled out. I also noticed her adding something to the wax during the appointment, although I wasn't told what it was. In addition, wax was spilled on both the floor and the table, making the entire appointment feel disorganized and unprofessional. During the service, I told her how much pain I was in and warned that I would consider taking legal action if my skin was injured because I felt my concerns were being ignored. Despite that, the service continued without any noticeable adjustment. Overall, this was one of the worst waxing experiences I've ever had. Based on my experience, I would not book with Emillee again.

I booked two back-to-back appointments for my mother and I on their booking website since it wasn't possible to book two at the same time, but Crystal texted me and asked me whether I would like to have them done at the same time by her and her sister Stephanie. At the end of the facial, she told me that in the future I would be able to text her if I'd like to book another simultaneous appointment. They also offer loyalty stamp cards, with every 10 visits you get a 50% discount on any service. Very considerate of her! As for my experience with the facial itself, I loved it. Crystal worked on my skin, while Stephanie worked on my mother's. I have very acne-prone skin, so Crystal did gentle hydro exfoliation and extractions around my nose & troubled areas before putting a rose hydrojelly mask on my skin to calm it down. Normally, extractions bring me to tears. It genuinely gets so horrible for me that if there's a tissue put above my eyes, it will become wet. However, Crystal applied minimal pressure and at the end, I was impressed that she got out all of my blackheads and whiteheads without me feeling as much pain as I had in other locations! Crystal told me that their products are based in fruit enzymes (cherries, pumpkins, apple, etc). I can't speak for my mother who received an anti-aging facial, but I can say that she fell asleep mid-facial because it was just that relaxing! I'd recommend that you check out their Instagram to see highlights of their facial process: https://www.instagram.com/birthofvenusbeauty/ At the end, both my mom & I were very impressed with the level of service and attentiveness we were treated with. Crystal recommended that we purchase two items, a SkinScript exfoliating retinol for me & an anti-aging cream for my mother. I've been using the retinol as instructed (3 times per week), & I can confidently say that it has positively impacted my skin. I even brought it with me when traveling and it worked wonders, even though my skin normally flares up during trips away from home. You should definitely come to this location. On top of supporting a family-owned business, both Crystal & Stephanie are great at what they do.

It just appeared out of nowwhere one day when I woke up and it was so awful I couldn't even feel confident to go out ,I didn't know what happened or how. I went to Joane and she helped me with some trial products, simple stuff, moisturizer, cleanser etc, and we tried that for 2 weeks, when that didn't work too well, she added glycolic acid wash, and lotion, and it started to clear! It took a good 1-2 months but I stuck with her routine and even did a facial with her. Now let me tell you about the facial! My goodness, this is heaven made in a room. It was relaxing, and thorough, she gives the best neck/shoulder massage, and she cleansed and nurtured my skin removing all the impurities, I think that also helped speeden the healing process. I ran out of a product and got stuck at home with little flexibility to go grab more and Joane drove to my house an delivered the products, this is a person that cares about her clients, she is expensive but she is not money hungry, you will pay happily whatever you need to because you know she is very fair and thoughtful.

She wants me to finish the products I have now and then we can reassess if I want to try a different regimen. She also shared which ones to keep purchasing.

I had a fantastic experience at First Look Threading Salon with Ila! I got full-face threading, a facial, and body waxing, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Ila is incredibly skilled, professional, and detail-oriented--she made sure everything was done perfectly while ensuring I was comfortable throughout the process. She was also very kind and caring, always checking to make sure I was warm and comfortable. Her professionalism and punctuality stood out, making the entire experience smooth and pleasant. The facial left my skin feeling refreshed and glowing, the threading was precise and painless, and the waxing was done efficiently with great care. Ila's warm and friendly attitude made the experience even better. I highly recommend Ila and First Look Threading Salon for anyone looking for top-quality beauty services. I will definitely be returning! read more

Amazing waxing experience! We came here as a group of 3 to get face, legs and arms waxed. We had a 2:30 appointment and arrived at 3:15 due to traffic. Ila was more than happy to accommodate us and still provide all services. It is a small room (perhaps a garage) transformed into a cozy salon but the service is impeccable and Ila is great company. The music she played in the background was also great for a Saturday afternoon of pampering! read more
