Beyond that, she is an incredibly sweet person and always extremely professional. Whenever I have a problem with ingrown hairs she not only takes care of it, but she switches up my products and regimen and it works every time. She has such extensive knowledge and is very detail oriented about what she is doing. To top it all off you can always sense passion for what she is doing and that is genuinely happy and enjoys the presence of her clients. All in all if you are looking for a fabulous experience I highly recommend her! Just a little update here: For the past few months I have been seeing Nina for more consistent peels/facials as well as my brows. My pores have never looked more diminished. My skin has not been this clear, and HEALTHY looking...and feeling! And my brows have never looked better and more natural. I think what I love most about Nina is every time I see her it's an experience, not just a service. Just as an example, she adds a nice shoulder and hand massage with every facial I receive with her. She goes above and beyond and pays attention to every little detail, she is someone who truly cares about making her clients happy and incredibly relaxed and at ease. My skin is forever happy in her hands! :)I

Nina is amazing! I found her on a whim because she was near my office and kindly able to…read moreaccommodate a last-minute appointment (which is definitely not always the case as she books up quickly) but I will continue to see her! I had an eyebrow design/shape and a Brazilian. I had previously gone to another studio and was unhappy with the results, and Nina immediately started off by asking about my skin type, aesthetic preference, and then examined my skin. She absolutely puts a lot of care and time into her work, and tailors each client's experience to their needs. In terms of pain levels, this was one of the easiest waxes I've ever had! I'm not super well-versed on the different types, but I had minimal breakage and minimal pain. She's also a complete perfectionist and will take the extra time to clean up stray hairs and make sure you leave feeling great. My eyebrows looked amazing and I loved that we came up with a "plan" to get them to where I'd like them to be (growing them out more). She does a beautiful job giving you a super natural, but polished look. Finally, Nina is SO sweet and so much fun to chat with - I always feel like I'm catching up with a friend when I see her. Thank you Nina! You're the best!

She worked at Mecca and then Azure but decided to open her own business. This was the best move she made. Her facials are customized for your skin type and needs. She uses the best products and is constantly researching the newest products and processes in the industry. At the same time she is not pushy and wont try to get you to buy extra services or products. She always has monthly deals and her prices are reasonable. She even trains new aestheticians at Mecca even though she no longer works there. I have great skin thanks to her and would not consider anyone else when it comes to taking care of my skin or her recommendations on the best products for me. Highly recommended!

From the moment I walked into Vanya Esthetics & Hair Removal new location which is absolutely adorable. She made me feel incredibly comfortable and at ease. Her attentiveness and courtesy were immediately apparent, and she took the time to get to know my needs. What really stood out was Savannah's deep knowledge and commitment to ensuring a safe and pleasant experience. She carefully educated me on the ingredients she was using and how they might interact with my skin, which is something I don't often see in salons this level of care and attention is truly rare, Savannah's expertise and warm personality made my entire sugaring process not only painless but also enjoyable. I can't recommend her enough. If you're considering sugaring Savannah is your girl!

I was SUPER lucky to have met Savannah. She is seriously AWESOME! Not only is she great at what she does, she is an amazing person too. Savannah took every measure to ensure her clients are very well taken care of when they walk through the door. The space is private and has a great ambiance to it. It's quiet, has a separate entrance from the back of the house and none of the noise and distractions of a typical salon. She offers a plethora of services. I have been going to her for all my waxing needs for the past few months and just booked my first facial with her for my next visit too! I can't wait to try out all her services. Her pricing is extremely fair, the location is super convenient and she is very talented. I am honestly so happy I met Savannah and I seriously can not recommend her enough. Book your next appointment at Vanya Esthetics & Hair Removal and see for yourself. I promise you, you will not be sorry. I will never go to anyone else again.

I saw this place on Groupon and thought the price was too good to be true - seems I was right…read more Joi (the artist) was very nice, but the overall experience was not professional. I did a LOT of research on microblading before booking my appointment with her, and I was so excited for the week leading up to my appointment. When I got to the salon, I filled out some paperwork and read through all of the papers, and noticed some were word-for-word copied off the pages I had read online whilst researching the procedure. She then began hand drawing an outline of my brows with a pencil. This is where I started getting concerned, because the videos I'd watched all showed lots of tools and rulers being used to make sure your eyebrows were even and suited your face properly. She was merely "eyeballing" them, but I figured she must know what she's doing, as she had quite a few reviews on her booking website. She even mentioned that she prefers her clients draw the shape they want. I feel like a microblading artist should be the one to do that: measure where your brows should start and end, where they should curve, etc, because they should know what suits your face best. She then told me to lie on the table, and asked me about my pain tolerance level. I told her I wasn't sure, I'd never really had any procedures done before. She informed me that she does not use any anesthetic during the procedure. Okay... according to her website, she applies two different types of anesthetic before and throughout the procedure, to ensure the client is as comfortable as possible. I wasn't feeling comfortable at all at this point. She also informed me that most of her clients say the pain is "an 8 or 10" on a scale of 10. If you've done any research on microblading, most people say it's a 3 at most. I'm not sure what technique she is using, but I don't think it's correct. I informed her I was not comfortable and left. Overall, she just seemed very unsure of her capabilities from the way she spoke. It almost felt like she was trying to get rid of me. Granted, I am very picky about my brows, but this is not the experience I expected for a semi-permanent procedure on my face.
