A nicely appointed room for my service with a very comfy, heated facial bed which greatly enhanced the service. Comfort is important to me when having a service.

She used an antiseptic first, then some powder and then wax. And then repeated the same in reverse order after she finished waxing me. Very quick and not too painful. It's a small little place but has the usual salon services at the usual prices. In case you find it difficult finding the salon, it's on the 2nd floor of a building that has a better store on the first floor. There is paid metered parking outside the salon. If you don't find enough information online you can leave her a voicemail. She responds pretty quickly. Do try this place out. She's really sweet :)

My first time getting a Brazilian, you'd think OMG going to be somewhat awkward no better what,…read moreright? Nope. I couldn't believe how at ease I felt right away. Jamie knows what she's doing, very well obviously, so right away that makes you relax. Then she just has a very calm and easy going demeanor, and easy to talk to. She was quick and efficient and I was finished and on my way before I knew it and extremely happy with my results. She's also very reasonable in her prices unlike sometimes overpriced spas for the same results and experience. Definitely try Jamie.

The room was calming and comfortable. It smelled wonderful and the heated table was a lovely surprise. I initially went for the "Express Skin Treatment" but when my 45 minutes was up, there was no way I was getting off that table! Jamie graciously and easily continued my treatment (haha, awesome) into what is called the "Customized Skin Treatment.' Heaven the whole time...I'm still sighing from it. Before I left, I purchased some of the products she used from a line called "Dermalogica" and have been using them every since I left. My skin continues to feel silky and healthy. Counting down the days when I can visit again!

With less than two months for the wedding On Saturday early morning I get a text from Leanne stating that she cannot do the hair and sent the deposit back. No reason given. No alternative recommendations provided. Just completely abandoned me and my wedding. I have not been able to find anyone with such short notice and I want to help other brides and prevent them from this type of stress and abandonment and unprofessional behavior. Please stay away from this salon specially if you are a bride. Wishing you the best.

BEST. SALON. IN. NEW HAMPSHIRE. Hands down…read more Amber is absolutely fantastic! The studio itself is very cute, good ambiance, and clean. All stylists appeared to have a strong level of professionalism and were very skilled. I made an appointment to come in for blonde highlights and a hair cut. Amber listened for EXACTLY what I wanted and executed those exact results. As a blonde, it's hard to get that beige beautiful color you want without it being mustard yellow or bronze. Amber was able to achieve exactly the results I was looking for and I walked out thrilled. She did my hair 1 week before my wedding and I couldn't have been more pleased. My hair didn't have any zebra stripes in it, the color was natural looking and well blended and it was so enjoyable getting to know her and talk to her during my appointment. I would HIGHLY recommend this salon!

I just had my first appointment at Aviva this morning and I already can't recommend it enough…read more I'm from the area originally but live in NYC and am visiting my parents in NH. My eyebrows were long overdue for a touch up. I haven't waxed them in years as I have been having them threaded in New York for a long time now. I quickly realized threading services certainly aren't as common in NH/ME so I started looking for viable waxing services and that's what led me to Aviva. Alisha was so warm and accommodating immediately, and the space is beautiful, clean and calming. Alisha and I chatted throughout my waxing and she's incredibly friendly, interesting and kind while not getting distracted from giving me truly impeccable eyebrows. She was gentle and meticulous and made sure I knew what she was doing and was ok with the direction she was taking with shaping my brows the entire time, which I really appreciated. I have naturally very thick dark eyebrows and they really do make such a difference on my face depending on the shape so I'm particular. Everything was perfect, virtually pain free. I will definitely come back here anytime I'm in the area and will absolutely be recommending to all of my friends nearby. Alisha made me feel comfortable and relaxed the entire time, she's wonderful.

Meghan is, hands down, the best esthetician you'll find anywhere. I started seeing her years ago…read morewhen she was working out of Optima Day Spa. Now in her own space at Alainn, she's created such a lovely, warm and welcoming place to come and be pampered. I always get there early and relax for a few minutes in the waiting area with a cup tea. Her services are reasonably priced and she always goes above and beyond to make it well worth the cost. She's thorough and informative and clearly has a vested interest in her clients' overall well-being beyond just the work that she does. She has helped me learn how to better care for my own skin and is always willing to give tips and tricks so even if you can't go regularly you can take away the tools to pamper your skin at home! I live in LA and wait for months to have the chance to come home, visit my family, and go see Meghan! And it's always well worth the wait!!

But my moustache was beginning to look like Fu Man Chu, so I realized that I really needed to get it waxed. She did my brows and got rid of a couple of growths that just spontaneously like to sprout on my face (I could never be a man). I've only gotten my moustache waxed about 4 times in my lifetime and can't say it's fun, but I will credit Meghan with doing everything possible to stem the pain. Meghan is cordial, efficient, has a sense of humor, and she is a perfectionist. My lip broke out afterwards, but, apparently, this is common. The bumps did go away within a week or so. I do feel cleaner, and it actually enhanced my features, giving me a smooth look. I rarely wear makeup but my lipstick did look better. I'll be going back routinely.

She is so good and knows my hair so well, she can take my anesthesia damaged old white lady hair and make it vibrant. Not quickly though, it's a 3 + hr process, but she's got to do a LOT.

Vibe is great , I learned new music on many occasions, and they have a lovely , friendly little shop dog sometimes. Good selection of products for sale, not horribly overpriced.
