COVID Compliance: She is very strict about COVID compliance and I recommend downloading the Vagaro app so you can do your check in there. Parking: Street parking but there is a municipal parking lot a little up the road by East Street. If you have been following me for a while you know that I have had less than stellar (read: terrible) waxing experiences in New Haven County, so please come here. She books fast, and for good reason. Waxes here can last up to 6 weeks which is wild. She is very good if you have coarser hair and very patient. She is prompt and makes you feel welcomed and at ease. 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.

Karolina and Nicole have created not just a beauty studio or a salon but a community. Lashes are done in the front room, it's big and open and sunny and lovely. There is a big window seat and you can look out onto state street while you're waiting. This is going to be the next big thing, book before they get too busy!

It seems as though this state is losing Black estheticians so I decided to look for someone who…read moreworks for themselves, and came across Ariel. Her shop is located in the Phenix salon suites (go right past the front desk and immediately take a left, she's at the end of the hall on the left). Her space is well maintained and she is nice but the five stars are for the extremely (and I mean *meticulous*) thorough Brazilian wax she gave me. I am not a stranger to waxing as I have done it for at least a decade, but she made sure no hair was left behind, using hard wax and then strips to ensure my happiness. I was thoroughly impressed. I prefer sugaring but I didn't have any of the skin rawness that sometimes happens with rushed jobs. She is on par with other waxers in the area like Tommy's. I highly recommend her.

I had a not so pleasant experience at the European Wax centre and I have found that there were many…read moreother places in North Haven itself which were open on Sunday. It was easy to get an appointment at this place online through google. I don't come to this area of Universal Drive that often so was not very familiar with the place and google map led me to the other side of the road and it took 4-5 minutes for me to figure out where exactly the location was. Upon entering the main entrance, there was a receptionist who helped me find the salon as there are a few salons/stores inside the building. I think they all charge a bit higher than other local salons. The place itself was super clean and I was in and out in no time. The salon is more like a small room with just one person working and she can accommodate only one customer at a time. When it comes to the service and the overall waxing experience, I found it pretty average, and would say I have got better services for much cheaper price.

I really wanted to like this place but we were both cut during cuticle clipping. I had about 5 different cuts that started bleeding during my manicure.

I think my nail lady did an okay job on the actual nail but I definitely wouldn't go back for their rough handling of cuticles and for fear of infections.
