I think I'm finally done with this place after several terrible waxes in a row…read more I always say to please keep my brows naturally thick and when I leave, my eyebrows are always weirdly thin and not shaped like anyone currently wears their brows. I have the 90s cigarette mom brows now! It looks awful on my face. The past couple of times I've also had waxers who wax over the same brow area 2-3 times and it wrecks my sensitive skin. I'm no expert but I know this is a no-no for your skin. My last visit the waxer was complaining the entire time about the other waxers and how dirty they left the rooms (yikes?) This visit my waxer was very nice, I just don't like the results. They've also started such aggressive upselling even after you say no. Last time the front desk lady was literally so rude to me after I said I wanted to wait to rebook. This time at least it was a different lady and she was nice but 3-4 different offers after I say no is a lot. $36 for brows I just gotta wait to grow out again right before the holidays is a lot. I'm headed back to Elixir I guess -- also expensive and slower service and more chatty which isn't my fave, but I feel like my brows look okay when I leave.

I called to try and ask for help after I arrived in the parking lot and was unsuccessful locating it, but the receptionist kept repeating the same vague instruction over and over with an air of disdain. Needless to say I didn't make it in time as a result of walking around the mall area where she said it was for ~10 minutes. She did not care about helping me and when she started walking me through rescheduling it was like pulling teeth trying to have her list available times. It felt as though I was the inconvenience to her. I'm relieved that I didn't end up getting services here and I will look to my other locations I frequent in the future. I've always had great experiences at European Wax and I've been to many in several states that were wonderful, but this receptionist is bad for the brand. Will never come to this location again.

I will say that the salon itself was very clean, organized, and welcoming. The seating was extremely comfortable, and my lash tech was courteous and attentive. She even offered me a drink, which I thought was a nice touch. Overall, the atmosphere and customer service were pleasant. During my appointment, the lash tech mentioned that my natural lashes were thin and offered to sell me a lash serum. I completely understand that my lashes are thin--that is actually one of the main reasons I get lash extensions in the first place. However, what caught me off guard was when she told me, "Your lashes are very thin, and I don't think I can do lash extensions next time." I have been getting lash extensions for the past 20 years and, in all that time, I have never been told by a lash technician that I would no longer be able to get extensions simply because my natural lashes were thin. I understand that lash health is important and that a technician may have concerns about the condition of someone's natural lashes, but the way this was presented left me feeling discouraged and confused. Perhaps there was a genuine concern about the health of my lashes, and if so, I would have appreciated a more thorough explanation and guidance about what specifically she was seeing and why she felt extensions might not be appropriate going forward. Instead, the comment felt a little surprising, especially after being offered a lash serum because of the thinness of my lashes. Overall, the salon was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and the lash tech was very courteous. I truly wanted this experience to be a great one, which is why I was disappointed that I left feeling uncertain about returning. I hope this feedback is taken constructively, because the salon has many positive qualities--I just think better communication and explanation regarding concerns about a client's natural lashes would make the experience much better.

My experience with Ashley was absolutely exceptional. I called in & told her my main concerns for trying to reduce my acneic scars and she was able to see me that day for a consultation. We discussed various options and planned out a series of treatments. I booked a signature facial during the weekend and came back to get some micro-needling done. Three weeks later, I came in for a chemical peel and she ended up mixing a peel treatment for me (the pumpkin peel was so relaxing and aromatically rich I fell asleep) with the addition of the microdermabrasion facial. Ashley is very pleasant, knowledgeable, and realistic about how to achieve certain results. The only cons I have is parking is very small and limited. Also, there's no website yet and the complete services menu is not posted on IG, so I only found out about the different services and how they can be combined when I talked to her. Her IG account is Esthetician.Ash. read more
