Haven't gotten any other services done, but 100% recommend eyebrow threading! Best place I've been to for it. It's always a fast service even as a walk in. Accurate and as painless as possible too. If you're looking for a new place or even a first ever experience this is the place! 10/10 all the way around.

She is great. She's been my go to while in Albany and I highly recommend her. As per COVID concerns, she is strict about taking precautions and does not put the thread in her mouth while threading. She wraps it around her neck instead. She offers other services as well (waxing is with a roller not with popsicle sticks). But have only gotten my eyebrows threaded with her. I just want to add that I'm a bit obnoxious and picky about places that I go to, but Reema is truly great. She is the owner and the ONLY one there so you know you'll always get a great job done.

Having recently moved to the area within the year, in my hunt for a forever salon I had had several bad experiences with a stylist who just didn't listen and wanted to use my head as a canvas for their "edgy" (Read: Impractical and plain ugly) cuts and colors. My friend assured me that Rachel excelled at listening and interpreting your hair wishes. She was right on! Rachel took upwards of 10 minutes on our consult - examining the prior color in my hair, its texture and weight, looking at pictures I had brought. She advised me in what was and wasn't practical with my thick, wavy hair. I felt valued and trusted her to give me what I wanted. I am on a tight budget, and I appreciated that she went to real trouble to ensure that my highlights would look natural as they grew out - buying me a few extra weeks. The prices were competitive with other salons in the area, a little over $100 for a cut and highlight. So, actually on the low end pricewise. It was entirely worth every penny. I couldn't be happier. I will be a client there as long as I live in Albany.

I had to take a phone call during my service which was 10-15 minutes and then the girl told me my "10 minute massage" was during my phone call and I just didn't notice. I was sitting there watching the entire thing. Not only did she not give me the 10 min massage she didn't massage me AT ALL not even for one minute. I specifically waiting for it because it's my favorite part that's why I paid extra for it. During it when she just spread lotion on me for 2 seconds I thought to myself maybe she's saving it for the end because I got a gel pedi and sometimes they do that. Then nope tried to convince me I just wasn't paying attention. That's INSANITY. I've been getting pedis my entire life they always set a timer when you pay extra for a spa pedi. These people are scam artists do not go here.

More space than a cuticle could ever be and uneven....a VERY rushed job!! I decided to go back and show them without being nasty. I was told we don't go anywhere near your cuticles because if you snip or push them they will bleed. I was given a laughing smirk by the "boss", who also was very nasty and rushing our appointments. I did say to her that I've never heard of that from any manicure place I've ever been to. The first nail she did was my right thumb and that was done correctly including snipping a bit of cuticle. I think think she was told to skip the cuticles. I liked the color, the place was nice and clean..but that's it. Not again!!

Super clean space as well with comp soft drinks.

I came in with my friend, and they had bizarre add ons that she wasn't happy with. She reviewed the place, expressed her feelings, and someone at this business had the audacity to reply to her review saying "we don't know why you're doing this." Take some accountability and acknowledge that you had an unhappy guest instead of blaming them. Customer service is the most important part of a successful business. Might be playing with fire here since they have a record of being nasty to their customers who review them poorly. In addition to the above mentioned: The quality of work here was not up to our standard either. Two gel manis that chipped, and the tech wouldn't put on an additional top coat since he claimed it was "special and can only be put on once." So why did it chip if it's so special? Will not be coming back here. I also spread the word to my friends to avoid this place.
