    I don't know why anyone wouldn't love EWC. I'm warmly welcomed upon checking in and when I leave…read moreafter my service- the front will let me know how many wax sessions I have left. THIS DOES NOT MEAN I EVER FEEL PRESSURED TO BUY MORE SESSIONS. I appreciate being told if there are upcoming specials if I'm running low and want to take advantage of any upcoming price reductions. And this doesn't happen every visit so no one is hounding you. Miranda is hands down the best technician I've had. She's careful and careful and thorough! She makes sure I look my best before leaving. And she talks me through what I think will be painful- and it isn't because Miranda is so great. This salon is the cleanest I've seen. I was getting waxed at hair or nail salons in a back room on a folding table before finding EWC. The rooms are hygienic and CLEAN. Fresh paper on the wax bed after being wiped down, clean counters and no hair everywhere. If you are going elsewhere- you're doing it wrong. This is where you need to be going

    Preface this with the fact that I have been going to various different locations EWC for several…read moreyears and this is my first visit at this location. Right off of that as soon as I walked in, there were two other people waiting, and the store was completely silent no music. Reception was probably the worst part of this experience. The girl that handled me seemed somewhat preoccupied and on the phone insisted that I arrive as soon as possible, but I waited another 20 minutes not such a big deal, but it felt really weird standing around with nowhere to sit, and pretend to shop for some of their products to pass the time. My experience was the Brazilian wax was great. My wax technician was very friendly, nice and knowledgeable. I didn't really pay much attention to it at the time, but when I arrived home, I noticed that there were a few missed spots on my inner thigh and other lady parts . Checking out I was offered to purchase a bunch of different options for wax passes for one or three of the services that I just gotten and I felt bad that the receptionist did all of the work out to offer several different kinds of payment plans declined as I always do at EWC - like most people I don't go in for a $60 wax and just casually drop 900 bucks on a year worth of waxes that's some thing that I deliberately purchase and don't need to be asked every single time I get a wax. I wasn't even annoyed and even thanked her for doing the work, but she simply shook her head and checked out. Gotta say that went right up my behind and solidified my never returning to this location and prolly EWC altogether- it was giving me Barnes & Noble vibes where if you don't purchase their unneeded membership, then guilt you into thinking they're going to get fired basically. the quality of the wax they use has kept me coming back here since prior to Covid but I just don't know if it's worth the uncomfortable decline of wax passes every single time.

    I had a wonderful experience with the Ombre powder brows. This is basically a tattoo or permanent…read moremakeup. It heals very soft and looks great. For me, i had a color correction because i had microblading done many years ago, that needed to be fixed. Cherry did a wonderful job mapping out my face for the proper shape and arch. I am so so so happy. Picture #1 was day of procedure. #2 is all healed and peeled

    After my first experience at Milano Nail Salon, I would NOT go back nor would I recommend it to…read moreothers. My friend and I went for mani/pedis for her birthday, and we were excited to try this salon due to its positive Google reviews. However, now, we know they offer $5 vouchers for 5 star Google reviews; this is not only disingenuous, but upsetting. The nail techs tried many times to get us to purchase the more expensive gel polish, despite the fact that we kept declining. Our pedicures were relatively quick, even though we scheduled spa pedicure appointments - I would say they were basic, maybe slightly elevated. We also got basic manicures which felt rushed. My nail tech left some cuts on my cuticles and brushed past them like they weren't there, and I felt as though the establishment as a whole was a bit dirty. To top it off, our two basic mani/pedis + tip cost $225, which felt like an overcharge. As we left, the nail techs even pressured us into paying with Venmo, and then seemed dissatisfied with the tip we left (which was more than generous for the service we received). Definitely will not be back.
