I cannot rave enough about my experience here at Empire Lash Lounge. Malikia was very prompt with…read moremy set appointment time. That right there is a must for me! She walked through the whole process step by step and answered any of my questions. I not only walked out with beautiful natural looking lashes but also with the knowledge and understanding on how to take care of my new lashes. I've had lashes put on for weddings and special events from local nail salons but the service was so quick and made me feel really apprehensive. Malikia made this lash experience for me enjoyable and relaxing. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that is looking for a professional lash technician! Plus I love to support minority owned, women owned small businesses.

I had been thinking about trying lashes for a while, but didn't know where to begin. I stumbled…read moreupon Empire Lash Lounge while browsing Instagram. Luckily, I was able to easily book an appointment online the Saturday before Labor Day. My appointment was with Ajanéy. She was super sweet and friendly and let me know everything to expect before she got started. She made me feel very comfortable. What I liked most is that she is knowledgeable about the application of lash extensions and the proper care. I will definitely be back for a fill because I was so impressed with the results of my lashes. I definitely recommend checking Ajanéy out! The owner, Kia, even reached out to me personally to see how my appointment went. Wonderful customer service. You don't get that type of service everywhere. Great job Empire Lash Lounge!

This was my first time getting lashes and it certainly will not be my last. When I tell you Carlina…read moreexceeded my expectations. I walked out feeling 1000 times better. Did a hybrid look for my lashes and was in and out in about 40 minutes. Carlina worked fast and efficiently. You can tell she not only takes pride in her work but also wants you to walk out feeling your best self. And she did just that!

Carlina is amazing at what she does and you can tell she's been doing lashes for a long time. She's…read moreso funny and sweet and gave me exactly what I was looking for. She is so precise with where she sets the lashes and they are close to the lash line so they will take longer to grow out which I really appreciate. She really did such a great job. Thank you Carlina!

Update: I've been coming here since 2015, and although I've gone to a couple other wax businesses,…read morethis one is my home favorite (with one other waxer I see at a different business). The feeling here is such high class and really feels like a nice & serene spa. I love shopping in the front/reception area (their cards are hilarious!) and waiting in the waiting room is so luxurious. The chairs are so cozy and the beautiful decor is always fun! I've seen a couple waxers who no longer work here (due to moving or raising a baby- hope you two girls are doing great, if you ever see this!), and I now see Starla. She's so efficient & does a beautiful Brazilian to the forestry that I grow. She has such great conversation and I thoroughly enjoy seeing her every so often! I also get my upper legs waxed every so often, and she does a great job on those, too! A total comfort to be on her waxing table (I mean, the wax sometimes hurts, since I'm not consistent, but I never shave, so you know that helps). If you're looking for a place to feel comfortable & handle the fuzz/forest, look no further than this fine woman-owned & operated small/local business.

Waxing can be such a nerve-wracking process but Smooth removes the roadblocks that might make you…read morenervous if you are a first-time waxer. I appreciate the ease of online booking and the confirmation texts. Walking into the space there is a sense of calm, almost like a spa experience. I love all the fun products they have in the lobby. It is a great space to stop for unique gifts. After checking in, you go to the waiting area in the back that is so beautifully decorated with comfortable chairs. I only wish they would fully close the curtain that covers the window to the arcade outside of the business. Sometimes it feels awkward making eye contact with people walking past. Starla is my go-to esthetician. She is professional and personable. She always makes me feel at ease and is so easy to talk to. I'm anxious for the pandemic to be over so more of the waxing services like chin and face can return but other than that I have a genuinely positive experience every time I go to Smooth. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else because of the experiences I've had here.

The first time she did my lashes it was way more dramatic than what I had wanted. It ended up being just right for my wedding photos, but when I got them done the second time we talked about a more natural, subtle look and she did just that! Have enjoyed both experiences with her and highly recommend!

This is totally a hidden gem by the Lynnhaven Mall! Beautifully decorated inside and this may sound…read moreweird but the place smelled SO heavenly. I have no idea how it smelled so good... seriously it was like the smell of the best spa you've ever been to plus a bath & body works candle store. I digress... everything inside was spotlessly clean and it seems they really made good use of the space inside. There are private rooms for guests during their visit and upbeat yet relaxing music plays overhead. I got a lash lift - it was my first time ever getting one - and my beauty tech was very friendly and explained everything to me as she was doing it. She really took her time and my lashes came out perfect. Though the services are pricey, they are competitive for this type of beauty services. And actually, the lash lift was on the low end of prices I saw elsewhere when I was looking for a spot to get this done. I will definitely be back, it was a great glam experience!

I love being able to book appointments online but also love that if I ever have any questions or need help with anything I can give them a ring and be greeted and assisted by some of the loveliest people ever. I get all my waxing needs done by LaTasha and I just LOVE her! She's so easy to talk to (and y'all...that's a lot coming from an introvert like myself) and just all around she just gives good vibes. I recommend Brows and Meows to anyone who will listen!

Both did an awesome job. (The last place I went said they knew how to do dip, but clearly did not...) MK is small and a little run-down, but it's the first place I've ever gone that doesn't feel like a factory trying to get as many people in and out as quickly as possible. Both techs were friendly and paid attention to detail. The best part is, the prices were very reasonable (lower than average) and the place is convenient to get to.

I'm giving Relux Head Spa a 3 out of 5 stars mainly because the woman who worked on my sister did…read morean amazing job and I brought her here for her birthday surprise. From the start the experience felt a little confusing. When we arrived nothing was explained to us. We signed a paper and were simply gestured toward the chairs. During the scalp analysis they quickly ran the tool through your hair but didn't explain what they were seeing, only mentioned I had a few flakes in the back. I was told over the phone that my sister and I would have our messages together which I later found out that meant at the same time but in separate rooms. This wasn't what I expected. The massage for myself was just ok but not what I asked for. I requested medium pressure and the woman was extremely light to point that I barely felt it sometimes mainly on my shoulders, neck, and arms. Think of a feather being glided on your skin. She was a soft medium on my scalp. In the end they're supposed to blow dry your hair but neither my girl or my sisters were fully dried. We ended up walking out in the freezing cold with wet hair which I wasn't too happy about because I had told my girl earlier that I had a treatment on my hair a few months back that if left wet creates a negative smell so it must be completely dried. She had told me this wouldn't be an issue. When my girl tried to show me my scalp in the end, the machine kept turning off and she just said she was sorry and it was already acting up earlier in the day. So who knows the results. I would probably say I would have given a 2 out of 5 based on my own experience but I'm giving it a 3 since my sister truly enjoyed her message and the woman who worked on her did a great job.

Anyways, there's different head massages and facials they offer. I booked for a 60 minute massage. It started with a deep look into your scalp. The lady that serviced me was super sweet with a low speaking voice, so I did not hear or understand what she was telling me. I know she said I have oily skin, in which I 100% don't. So that was weird. We proceeded to the back and that's where the relaxing begins. It's a private space, calming music and the sound of water. The blue mood light puts you into an instance tranquility. You're able to pick your own scent that they will use on your scalp. The massage was good but it just felt like it was just a good scalp cleaning you can get from your hair stylist. Not one I would say is a stress reliever, but everyone is different. Afterwards, they will dry your hair with a Dyson hair dryer. I have wavy hair, so I didn't get this done as I air dry anyways. From beginning to end was 45 minutes, so I didn't really get 60 minutes service. Maybe that includes undressing and dressing?? Don't know... The staff were super friendly and helpful. They did mentioned they will be opening a 2nd location soon somewhere near Chesapeake/Virginia Beach boarder.
