She takes her time and is very thorough, without being too slow. She consistently checks in, and explains what she is doing, which for me is comforting so I know what to expect. I also enjoy that the environment is very clean and hygienic, while still being welcoming. Other places I have gone felt like I was walking into the dentist; Tracy's studio is warm, inviting and relaxing. Especially if it is your first time getting a wax, Tracy is diligent in making sure you are properly prepared for the session before hand with her recommendations for an ideal experience, and lets you know what to do for ideal aftercare. She is incredibly educational and does a fantastic job. There is no one I would recommend more!

I frequently leave salons a little disappointed, and I thought maybe my hair just wasn't suited for the look I was hoping for. But Bri was able to give me the stunning balayage I had always wanted, with beautiful tone and dimension. Attached are pictures of the stunning hair and makeup she did for my wedding day. She books up quickly (rightfully so), if you are looking to book with her for your wedding give yourself several months in advance! I cannot recommend her enough!

You can tell when your stylist knows her stuff and asks you where you part your hair, how you do you hair each day, etc. The salon is very modern looking and is kept up very well. There are plenty of products that you can buy and they use many during your hair cut so you can see how they would work in your hair. Prices were very reasonable and the staff was very kind.

Ok, so this needs to be updated but i can't go above 5 stars. This new location is beyond amazing!…read more I originally came here after moving back from Chicago and then moving to Los Angeles (Beverly Hills). I fly home to Syracuse to see Ashley. I'm not kidding. I schedule my vacations around it. The thing is.. over those 8 years my life took some massive downs (some ups) - Ashley became one of the most true and honest people in my life. My cancer treatment started and I decided to cut my hair short - and she did that cut for me (free). My mom died and she reached out and said "come relax and get your hair done - you'll need it before the services" That's someone who truly cares (again didn't charge was just being a good person). She has become a trusted friend, and honestly my hair has never looked better. I cheated on her recently my (ex) doesn't understand how hair works and how it's a part of you (no fault he is almost bald). Ashley did my hair yesterday and we went for a pride theme! OMG. It's insane! This is magazine ready and I'm no supermodel! Marisa's is a creative space where all are included! I've met Marisa maybe 2x and she's a delight!

Before I found her on a whim during my sophmore year of college, I typically got my eyebrows waxed at various nail salons. Unfortunately, I have very sensitive skin and those experiences rarely ended well. Karin's room is cozy and eclectic, which mirrors her personality. During the appointment, she usually has good music playing in the background. She is meticulous and takes her time, which leads to great results. I wouldn't see anyone else for waxing services!

I went to Riki for microblading and was really impressed. She is very thorough and detailed. She is…read morealso very clean and is serious about it because you are dealing with open skin. You can tell she enjoys doing this and takes pride in her work. She isn't someone just going through the motions. I am very impressed with my brows and the overall experience. A little run down of what happens - you make a consult appointment and then go in for the consult. She explains the process and actually outlines the areas where your brows should be. If you decide to proceed, you then make an appointment for the microblading. This appointment takes approx. 1 1/2 hours. I will admit that it is slightly uncomfortable when she first starts but she then adds a numbing cream and you can no longer feel it. You then make your appt for approx 6 weeks for a fill. Riki gives you a detailed sheet with what to expect and do over the next few weeks. She also gives you the items needed for the initial few weeks - cleanser, ointment to be applied. You cannot exercise to where you sweat for 2 weeks - you've been warned ladies! LOL - this part was a little frustrating for me but I got my run done in the morning before going and just knew what to expect and thought about long term and how I didn't want to impact the look, plus I just spent all of that money, there was no way I was damaging her awesome work! The second week, I had a little flaking and they were a little itchy. Overall, a great experience and I would highly recommend going here, if you are considering microblading.

Don't even think about booking anyone else. Riki is the best and she books up quick. She was…read morerecommended to me by numerous people in the Finger Lakes area and I'm so happy I went with her. I was always afraid that my wedding makeup would end up looking too overdone, but Riki completely dispelled those fears. I've never seen some deftly transition between makeup styles. For my bridesmaid who wanted it heavier, she got it. For my mom who doesn't wear makeup and wanted just a touch of it, she got it. If you explain to Riki what you want (even in general terms) she makes it happen. She's a makeup magician! And such a calming presence too. Truly, can't thank her enough for making me feel and look like myself on my wedding day!
