I sat in a massage chair and Rose brought me bottled water. Soon enough, a nail tech (I didn't get her name) appeared to begin. She was very good at her job and everything was fresh from a new package, all very clean. The music was relaxing. I just relaxed as she massages and soaked and cleaned up my feet. I watched as customer we welcomed as friends and left happy. This place has a wonderful vibe. In fact, I sat drying my nails so long, I almost forgot to leave for my errands! The only mistake I made was making my appointment so early in the day, as I did not want to do anything else the rest of the day! Maybe next time I come back, it will be after work! Thanks for a relaxing morning!!

We called to ask if she would be able accommodate three of us on a Saturday afternoon, and she was able to squeeze us in with very short notice. The first thing I noticed is that her salon is very clean, bright and spacious, with no chemical smells at all. I loved all of the plants, flowers and cute elephant decor. There are a large selection of colors - I didn't really know what I wanted for my manicure and Rose helped me try on a few options before deciding on a base and design. She is thorough, skillful and detail-oriented. I loved how my nails turned out! Rose and her staff are super kind and personable as well. She really goes above and beyond for her customers and I can't recommend her salon enough!

Waxes here can last up to 6 weeks which is wild. She is a great communicator and is easily accessible via phone (which if I weren't as shy as I am and had actually contacted her to see if she had openings I would have avoided the Lunchbox debacle of 2019 and the EWC debacle of 2020). The moral of the story is, don't cheat on your esthetician. I highly recommend.

She kept harshly pushing my face around even as I tried my best to stay still or hold my eyebrows tight. I have been getting my eyebrows threaded since high school and definitely have a high pain tolerance but this was extremely and unnecessarily painful. When I tried to communicate this to her, she ended the session short and headed to the counter to take my payment. I definitely recommend against getting eyebrows done here.

Times and priorities change.... I decided to give it a try. I had my full back and shoulders done, for just over $100 not including tip. The appointment was easy to book online. Set up an account, book the time, you pay when the service is complete. I booked both services with Cassandra. She was superb! The girl at the reception counter was very sweet too. There were some parts that did hurt quite a bit, but it is over quick. Once the was is pulled off, the pain only lingers for a few seconds. She didn't laugh at me while I was spewing a stream of curse words every time a section was pulled. She may have had to go over some spots twice - sorry! The soothing gel treatment at the end really cools the whole area off. The whole thing was over in 30 minutes, maybe a little longer. Now I feel a bit less embarrassed taking my shirt off at the beach or pool, and no worries about the reactions when a woman touches my back. Definitely would recommend.
