I've had prior experiences at different places that tinted them way too dark, almost black, as well as tinted way too light that you couldn't even tell I had anything done to them at all. During my appointment I informed Natalia of this and she said she knew exactly what to do. She explained that light brown would be too light for me and dark brown can appear black sometimes, especially with my skin/hair. She explained that she would mix colors and come up with something that worked for me. And she nailed it!! A true expert, I absolutely recommend her!

I've been patronizing Karina for facial services for several years, which has greatly benefitted my skin's complexion and overall health. Karina's Beauty Spa is now in an office park minutes from 495 and 395, and conveniently off of Backlick Road. The new office is a true sanctuary and Karina has created a warm and welcoming environment with the color scheme, comfy couches in the waiting area, and a self-service beverage area. In addition to customizing facial services for men and women, Karina will also provide guidance as to how care for your skin. I have referred several folks to Karina and everyone has been impressed with her knowledge and professionalism. Check Karina's website for pricing for services as well as to book appointments.

She's helped me get rid of my acne, and always goes above and beyond at each appointment to help treat my scarring and any remaining acne. The picture on the left shows my skin at the end of January and the picture on the right shows my skin now as of this morning (7/13).

Linh (my cosmetic tattooer)- provided me the most professional, honest, and efficient eye brow…read moreservice I have ever got done!! Days prior- she would keep up through messenger to send personal reminder tips on how to prep my skin for the ombré power tattoo. also sending all the necessary documents to complete in advance digitally made it very convenient upon arrival I just had to get comfy and start the service immediately. During service- Linh was precise and paid attention to all of my requests and concerns.(and I am the person that likes to ask ALOT of questions when it comes to these things..) She took her time to ensure the best shape & measurement for my face (even when I was her last client of the night- she was highly focused and on point with all the details. After service/after care- my eyebrows have never looked so beautiful in my entire life. *back story* I have gotten my brows microbladed many years ago- so technically this is a *cover up* service. the detail in color, shape, and shading with my new brows is completely covered & is unmatched to what Linh did for me. She then reviewed 1:1 with me a pdf. on the aftercare of my brows and insured I understood all the most important steps during my care at home. Personal experience- pain level: 3/10 perks: shop was very clean & very up kept with proper sanitation handling, provided me a comfy blanket while I was laying and I honestly almost dozed off because I was so comfy.. haha.

I love this place! Whether it be lash extensions, waxing or permanent make up, everything they do,…read morethey do it well! They are so accommodating, sweet and are very knowledgeable in their craft. Karen is my go to lash artist, I am really sensitive to most lash glues which I told Karen at the start and she was able to work with me to find a glue that doesn't irritate my eyes. She works very meticulously and is extremely gentle whenever I get a lash fill. She makes sure I am comfortable and set up so I can take a nice nap while she works her magic! She's always working with me to increase my lash retention as well as giving me recommendations on after care such as lash shampoo brands and how to properly wash my lashes. I got my ombré powder eyebrows done by Linh and I could not be any happier! I never really thought about getting permanent make up done until I saw Linh's work. From the moment I went in to inquire about an appointment, till the end of my aftercare, she was texting me and checking up on me every step of the way. When she was mapping out my eyebrows, she was very patient with me in helping me find my desired shape and look. She helped me find a look that wasn't too dramatic and a color combo that wasn't too dark (the darkness of the brows being something I was extremely nervous about at first). During the process she was very thoughtful in trying to mitigate any discomfort I was feeling as well as informing me what exactly she was doing. Linh has also been taking care of all of my waxing needs and always makes the process quick, easy and painless. After coming here, I have constantly been getting compliments on my eyebrows and lashes and I couldn't be happier with the results!

Was excited to try the facials here because of all the 5 star reviews, but sadly, my experience was…read morea disappointment. Even before going in, I had a gripe with the website lacking in information and prices - why not just make it easy on your customer and just include that info online?? For those wondering, we paid: - $85 for a facial with enzyme peel and extractions (Twinkle Twinkle) - $85 for European facial (Above the Stars). Was supposed to come with massaging for $110 but she forgot so we got a discount. When we got there, we were invited to a very warm and cozy space, but there was a misunderstanding on the services. I had asked for back to back or simultaneous facials (if possible) for myself and my husband. Sarah said that she could do simultaneous facials, so I took that to mean that there would be two rooms and estheticians on site and we would each have our separate treatments at the same time. But no... instead, it was just her when we got there and she led us both to the same room and said that one could sit in a chair while the other was getting their facial done. This was a bit odd to me, but I went with it... she performed an enzyme peel on my face and then put a mask on, and then my husband and I switched spots. While my husband was getting his first 20-30 minutes of treatment, I sat on a chair uncomfortably scrolling through my phone... not exactly a spa experience. And then we switched back and we each got another 10-15 minutes. It felt very unprofessional, especially at the price you are paying. In total, we were there for 1.5 hours. How exactly does that timing add up when we are paying full price for two services, I don't know. Another gripe - there was a lot of time during the facial spent on preparing and opening things while things "sat" on our faces. That is a huge pet peeve for me when getting facials because I am paying for a full hour of service, so that's what I should get. If there is a mask on my face, you can still be massaging my scalp/neck/hands at the same time. If I wanted to lay down with a mask on, I could have done that at home. Now down to the actual quality of facial treatments - meh. A week later, my face is STILL peeling like a lizard from the enzyme peel. That would be ok except that she had not mentioned the possibility of that happening at all. A few days after, my husband's face looked pretty splotchy, and he is blessed with pretty normal and clear skin to begin with. Luckily, we didn't get these facials before a big event like a wedding or something. And also - none of the products she used even smelled good and the towels were pretty rough. The towels smelled faintly like cigarette smoke to me... ick. Little things, but again, I'm paying for an experience when I get a facial and this wasn't it. Maybe she was having an off day, i don't know. But for us, we won't be coming back and will instead be driving the 1+ hour to Maryland to go the esthetician I know and love.

UPDATED: This business is lucky that Yelp doesn't allow you to leave zero stars, because it's what…read moreI'd like to rate them after a totally insane response from the owner basically saying I didn't wait long enough for the Botox to kick in. I may have only waited 10 days between the second and third visit (which the third visit should not have even been necessary, but whatever) but I still had no results from the third visit! Here is a timeline of my visits: June 24 July 19 (25 DAYS, OVER TWO WEEKS) minimal results from first appointment - tons of movement in my face that I specifically requested to address July 29 (10 DAYS) zero results from second appointment (and zero results from this visit too) This review was written August 18, which is plenty of time for the neuromodulator to kick in after that experience (20 days). Regardless, as I type this update on October 3, I can tell you I did not experience ANY results from that third visit. I refused to put myself through another expensive visit with no results, so I didn't go back for a fourth visit. So I am still sticking by my original review. I've attached photos to confirm the timeline. Instead of believing patients who have had a poor experience, this place chooses to act like we are all idiots because we want something we paid for with a skilled injector who knows what they're doing. There is literally NO reason for me to have NO results between three appointments, and I'm not exaggerating when I say I had FULL movement in my forehead. The owner said Breanna likes to give patients a "natural look" which I guess means you're still going to have heavy movement which will lead to more wrinkles and spending more money at this place for all touch ups. I have never experienced this anywhere else and being upcharged for what's either diluted product or an unskilled injector is crazy. Plus all the other places also charge by the unit too, and I have basically never been charged for a touch up. I will be telling EVERYONE not to visit this place. Absolutely unprofessional and unskilled. Spend your money elsewhere.
