I've been seeing Julie for a few years now and she's always given the best-in-class service leaving me looking and feeling great. Aside from the high-quality job her prices are super competitive compared to big brand names and commercial enterprises who offer the same within the area and charge twice as much and take twice as long. That being said, it's a no-brainer to go with Julie as her skill is in a top-tier class all on its own. Aside from this, Julie is very personable, and it feels like interacting with a friend for a more humanized experience vs something transactional as just another customer/client. This adds a layer of personal touch thus she makes you feel understood with a more consultative approach to understanding human relations as much as she knows the technicalities of her services and skin care itself. Which is a great foundation of Face Value Beauty Bar being so successful. All in all, if you're reading this then without a doubt, I highly recommend Julie for your waxing and skin care needs. You'll love the outcome of the services you get, how you look, and how you feel! I 100% guarantee it!

I went here to get a gel fullset put on because I just didn't have time to get it done at the salon…read moreI work at and it takes me too much time to do it myself. As a nail tech myself I have pretty high expectations. Lee did a good job on my full set. He didn't just rip off my tips when removing, he took his time to soak them off although I don't really agree with the whole idea of soaking my fingers in a bowl of acetone, I would have preferred them wrapped with cotton, acetone and foil. I had a few nails on my right hand that were crooked and had some leftover gel under my nail but I just fixed it when I got home. My full set was thin and natural looking which was my ultimate main concern. I was pleasantly surprised. I am glad I didn't end up with lumpy, thick nails like I've seen from many other places. I painted them myself when I got home. The salon was clean. Some of the technicians and the owner greeted me. I'm just very glad they fit me in last minute because I know how it is on those long days.

I hate to leave a negative review, but this one is necessary. I got a dip nail and a no chip…read morepedicure. Upon arrival, there were no cars in the parking lot and no customers(maybe a sign). They took me right away, soaked off my old dip for over 30 min in acetone. Pedicure was fine, nothing special. I've had much better. My nails is where it went wrong. She used the nail drill on my skin and cut me and made me bleed. Nails were done and I was satisfied. I woke up the next day and had a chip in my nail already. I went back the next day and she fixed it. Now, a day after that, another nail completely chipped. I've never had this happen and after spending over $100 plus tip, I will not be returning. *** edited*** Not even a week later and 2 more nails completely cracked. I have NEVER had this happen to me. What a complete waste of money and time.

I've been a loyal client at the Algonquin Sugaring NYC location for almost two years, and I've…read morealways had good experiences, including two previous 5 star review.. until this week. This was the worst service I've had since my early days at European Wax Center, and I actually left my appointment crying. I had booked my usual Brazilian + butt cheeks. Last week, I called to reschedule and learned--only because I called--that the waxer I've been seeing for the past year was no longer there. Management never informed me ahead of time, which I found unprofessional. When I rescheduled, I was told there were two other stylists available, so I agreed to book with anyone. When I arrived, I found out mid-appointment that my waxer had only started a week ago. She was very nice personality-wise, but the process was extremely messy--sugar in my hair, on my legs, all over the table, and on my clothes. She went over the same area 10-15 times, causing intense pain and burning. The service, which normally takes 20-30 minutes, dragged out to an hour and 15 minutes. I left sticky, covered in powder, and feeling awful. When I got home, I discovered I was bleeding, raw, and still had numerous hairs left. I immediately called and went back today for a "retouch" with Kristin. She was kind, professional, and quick--exactly how it should have been the first time. At checkout, I brought up the situation and requested a refund for yesterday's service. Unfortunately, the front desk employee was too new to process it, so I was told management would call me. As of now, I'm still waiting for that call. I used to love coming here, but all the skilled waxers seem to be gone, and management's lack of communication and follow-up is disappointing. For such a personal and vulnerable service, clients deserve to feel safe, respected, and cared for. Sadly, I can no longer recommend this location.

Elle Salon is the type of establishment that makes me wish Yelp had 10 stars instead of 5…read more It amazes me that in 4 years I have not written a review for Elle (most likely because I am too busy staring at my gorgeous hair...) I'm not really sure where to begin because the entire experience is 5 stars from the minute you walk in the door, to the minute you leave...I guess I'll break it down this way.. Overall Staff- Every girl who works at Elle is adorable and so friendly. The best part about being a long term client is witnessing the girls who are just starting their careers progress to be rockstar stylists in such a short time. The mentorship, ongoing training and exemplary role models make you want to support this women owned business. Truly every stylist at Elle is so talented. Don't believe me? Peep their Instagram- totally droolworthy. The front desk staff is also so polite, professional, welcoming and complementary. Decor- No tacky art, loud paint or messy bowls/cords. Elle is simple, elegant, clean and modern. Jillian- My all time favorite stylist in the world and primary reason for this post. I walked in to my appointment with Jillian 4 years ago with bronze/black combo box dye hair and she was honest and forthcoming with me about my "hair journey". She promised I would eventually be blonde if I trusted her. She took all necessary steps to make sure I minimal breakage and was pleased with the results every time! Every time I leave the salon, she gives me EXACTLY what I ask for and I LOVE my hair.. As an added bonus, beyond her hair talents she is just all around awesome on all levels. Honorable mention- I have never had my makeup done by Amanda but I stalk the Elle Instagram stories to watch her makeup tutorials because she is a make up god! Someone needs to wife we up purely so she can do my makeup on my wedding day.. I highly, highly, highly recommend Elle for anyone who is looking for color correction, touch-ups or just badass droolworthy hair.

I cannot recommend this business at all. I did not receive the cut which I requested, although I…read morewas specific about what I wanted, and I did inquire in advance if they could do what I asked for. I was told it could be done, but it was not done. I also did not care for the quality of the products used on my hair, and the end result was not at all what I asked for. I also did not appreciate this individual giving their personal opinions in conversation about topics which had no bearing on the issue at hand, namely, things to do with hair, hair maintenance, hair products, and my own hair. Being in a hair salon, I expected light and general conversation, about topics that were mainly hair-related. It was not. I was not pleased with the cut or the service. Thankfully I was able to get my hair fixed at a different salon. I cannot in good conscience recommend this salon, nor would I ever return there.
