Due to this lack of clarity, my husband paid $183 for services that were not clearly explained upfront. When I contacted the manager, my concerns were dismissed and no resolution was offered--only a suggestion to address it on a future visit. For a business in the service industry, this level of transparency and customer care is unacceptable.

It was very relaxing, came with a fruit tray, a few snacks, a warm towel, and a complimentary drink. The rose petals were super cute and the person providing the service checked regularly to ensure the water temperature was good and the chair massage controls were working how I'd like them to. She ensured the nail shape was to my liking and she asked a few questions about my expectations of the color before applying. She even showed me her own nail color when I decided to pivot from my initial choice. While this location is in a very busy part of the city, they offer a parking option for those spending a certain amount. I was able to find street parking since I wasn't sure if I would spend that amount. I intend to visit again.

I finally pulled the trigger to get my eyebrows micro bladed this year as a self care measure cause…read morethis year sucked. To begin with, my eyebrows are super sparse so I had to fill them in everyday. Most of the time even the pomade came off half way through the day so then you're left with half brows haha. Anyway, did some research and looked at a lot of reviews. Forever Valentine hit every box I wanted and never knew I needed. Their appointments get filled up really fast so you have a keep an eye out on when they open them up. I snagged a spot with Susannah, but honestly all of them do amazing work. She made it super comfortable and my eyebrows came out amazing. Structured yet natural looking. They come out super dark in the beginning but then fade a bit as your skin accepts the ink and scabs. Aftercare is super important so make sure you do that and you're eyebrows will be amazing!!

I've been getting my brows microbladed by the same person for five years. When she moved to Forever…read moreValentine, I followed her there. However, when I called to make an appointment, I was told she no longer does microblading and that I needed to come in for a consultation. During the consult, I was told that my brows were too pigmented and needed lightening treatments before they could be redone. I went through a series of six lightening treatments, each costing around $150. After the treatments, I was finally able to get my brows done again. A year later, I received a message from the salon reminding me that it was time for my yearly touch-up. When I tried to schedule, I was informed that the artist who originally worked on my brows was no longer there. I was asked to send pictures of my brows to a new artist, which I did, and then asked when I could come in. I responded that I was available anytime. Later, I received a message saying I needed to come in for another consultation to make sure the new artist could do my brows, and only then could I schedule an appointment. Now, I'm being told once again that my brows are too pigmented and that I need to wait until December. I was told my brows had too much pigment when I first started going, and now I'm hearing the same thing again. The issue isn't that I'm not due for a touch-up; it's the frustrating scheduling process and inconsistent information. It's not my fault that my original artist is no longer there. I sent the requested pictures and was initially told the procedure could be done, only to later be told that I need another consultation and that my brows are too pigmented. I feel that there's a lack of honesty and transparency, and I'm not sure who or what to trust anymore.

Valerie Peoples is my eyebrow guru. She can take the most basic untamed brows, and turn them into…read moresleek, sophisticated works of art. I've been coming to Valerie for at least 6 years now, and there's no one else I would trust my eyebrows to. Valerie was trained by Anastasia Beverly Hills, which is why I began going to her (I was previously driving over an hour just to get my brows done at an Anastasia salon), and I've continued coming to her for the last few years because of the amazing job she does. She used to be located at a high end local tanning salon, but since Fall 2016 has been operating independently in her own spot in downtown Center City Philadelphia. It is a bit pricer ($30) than just getting your eyebrows done at your local nail salon, but I promise you it is so worth it! Your eyebrows are shaped in proportion to your eyes & nose, all while relaxing on a salon table. Valerie even uses a magnifier to ensure she does a precise job. You can pay via cash or credit. She also does eyebrow tinting ($30), which I plan on trying my next visit! My recommendation is to give her a try, and if you've never had your brows actually 'shaped' before, grow them out for a month or two before coming. You will thank me later!

I had been growing my eyebrows out for 2+ months after I had a terrible wax experience. It is literally the most arduous task, waiting for your eyebrow hair to grow back. I felt like Chewbacca. This is why I researched and researched and read various reviews before deciding to reach out to Valerie. Let me say this, I normally don't write reviews; however, Valerie's talent, accommodation, beautiful craftsmanship, and overall energy absolutely warrant it! I was in Philly for the weekend for a Monday interview and I reached out to Valerie pretty late. Not only did she respond to me quickly, she accommodated me for a day outside of her normal hours. I am so appreciative of the time she took to do my eyebrows and the individual attention I received. Her studio is set up so that it is a truly a individualized and private experience. And a world-class eyebrow experience it was! She crafts your eyebrows specific to your face. It is amazing to be around individuals who are great but also passionate about what they do. It is a contagious and inspiring energy. Needless to say, I got the job. Looking great translates to feeling great. Feeling great leads to a huge confidence booster. Well ladies and gentlemen I have Valerie to thank for giving me confidence to kick but during my interview. Chewbacca who? Amazing eyebrows like what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Literally that's how I felt after I left Valerie's, and that's the energy that got me the job). Thanks Valerie!!

The picture in the blue shirt was how my hair came out after my first visit. Today I returned and told the stylist (Mo) I wanted to maintain my length and trim as little as possible if needed. The chair was positioned facing away from the mirror where I could not see my hair being cut because she was sitting down on a stool during the entire haircut. I showed her the first picture as a reference and said I wanted the exact same thing, that cut was 7 months ago so my hair grew a few inches since then. I was expecting the same result with a little added length since my hair has grown since then. At least 6 inches were cut from my hair and the layers are barely visible. I am very attached to my hair and have been growing it out for years I use very minimal heat and never dye it to keep it healthy and long, I am extremely dissatisfied and cannot express how upset I am with these results. It will take a minimum of a year for my hair to grow back to the length I want it.

I didn't even do airbrush! (although she offers that as well). She also is very responsive, answering all my questions and concerns via email, and incredibly accommodating - she worked with exactly the look I wanted, she will travel to you for your trial and/or wedding makeup - she arranged to have another makeup artist there for my wedding day because we had so many people (MOB, bridesmaids, etc.). - and she generously stayed later to touchup the makeup of someone in my wedding party when they changed their mind about the look they wanted. She is the sweetest. I have had numerous people ask me about her work and some have even booked her for their wedding (note: she books up fast!) Overall, I feel so lucky to have had Jenna and I would recommend her to anyone!

For me personally, getting my nails done is the ultimate form of self care. I always feel 1000% better when I have a natural looking, but beautifully decorated set on my hands. Prior to finding Majestic, I had done both gel and acrylic, but I've since switched to dip with Gel Designs, which is what Lina specializes in. Never in my life have I had my nails look this wonderful, and I truly, truly mean that. I'm not even currently in the office, and all of my colleagues want to see my nails whenever we hop on zoom meetings. Lina is such a sweetheart and I genuinely enjoy my appointments with her. I always make sure to let her know what I'm looking for prior to the appointment just so she can be prepared with colors, supplies, and appropriate time and whatnot. I'm so appreciative that she takes her time and it really shows in her work. I walk away with my beautiful little works of art on my fingers and I could not be happier. I saw a couple of others in reviews commenting on prices and I'll say this: if you want a $35 set, they're going to look like a $35 set. If you want quality set of nails, that look gosh darn GORGEOUS, come here. You get what you pay for. You're paying for someone to take their time, and make your nails look beautiful, and I'm personally willing to pay someone for their artistic craft. Thats what this is. Nails are art. Pay artists for their work.
