I love the vibe of this salon - super bright, trendy, and conveniently located in the Village Gate Plaza. The website answers any and all questions about your cut, color, or wax in advance, with a demystifying FAQ page and a full before and after care list. My service was ~30 minutes long and I felt totally comfortable for the duration. Nitty Gritty goes out of their way to ensure their salon is an LGBTQ+ safe space - there's specific information on waxing if you're transitioning, an ask for pronouns at the time of registration, and a truly welcoming atmosphere for all. This alone will keep me coming back and supporting, but the fact that the service is so top notch is a nice added bonus. The reviews don't lie, Nitty Gritty is the best. Looking forward to my next visit and grateful to have this awesome shop in town!

Every little detail made the experience feel so relaxing and special. From the moment you walk through the door, to each beautiful and peaceful room, to the moment you leave, the entire experience makes you feel completely pampered. As someone who has a really hard time shutting my brain off with two young kids and actually relaxing, that says A LOT. I left feeling lighter, refreshed and already thinking about when I can go back. Definitely worth every penny! I genuinely cannot recommend this place enough.

I literally drive from Syracuse to Rochester every 8 weeks because I trust no one else with my Brazilian! 2 times in my life I went elsewhere and let me tell you, I'll make the drive to Skintopia now. Make an appointment, stop by, relax to the music, soft beds, heated towels, wonderful service, delicious complementary tea, and great company. You'll be hooked!!

Occasionally I will be asked if I have them professionally done. Hell ya, I can't do them myself and I have tried. You can't quite tell because they are not gaudy, but correct for my eye shape and my lifestyle. I have huge confidence leaving the salon. It makes me happy and it shows. The best part is how quickly I can get my makeup routine done in morning. I don't dread it. No more endless mascara application, nor black smudges by end of day. No more trying out new expensive mascara that is never any different than the usual. So thankful for Kelly, Jessica and Dan. I loooove all the services the salon provides. But CAN'T live without my lashes. I have used other salons for lashes. I highly recommend Kalypso's. Hands down. ON TO WAXING. I have used the top and best salons in Rochester for bikini waxing. I have extremely sensitive skin. Extremely. But Jessica and Kelly's results are the by far best. I do not have any bruising, any skin ripping and NO PAIN WHATSOEVER. I cannot say this about any other wax I have had done. I was shocked by the difference. I am used to being slightly maimed at other salons. No joke, I have probably used 8 salons you would know by name and would be in extreme discomfort for days. Very reasonably priced as well. Sometimes I need services on short notice or a special request. Kalypso always tries to accommodate my busy schedule even if inconvenience to them. Jessica is very knowledgeable about skin and brows. I wish I could have her soothe and smooth my skin every day. Jessica recommended a brow tint and shaping on my light and thin brows. It makes a big difference. I had no idea. Really frames my face and enhances my lashes. If I could have a perfect day it would be spent at Kalypso having all services done. I just feel so groomed and put together when I leave.

I've had two signature facials so far, and provided Webster doesn't enter the Covid orange zone, I plan on getting them regularly. Speaking of Covid, safety protocols are strictly followed. Wait in your car until your appointment time, when Grace will meet you at the front door. Hand sanitizer is provided, and Grace wears both a mask and shield during the facial. I was so relaxed during my last appointment, I fell asleep (and that does not happen easily for me).
