I've been a client of Mandy's since 2016 and I am SO fortunate I found her. Mandy is the real deal…read moreand has become a good friend over the years. She has truly TRANSFORMED my skin and because of her, I was able to get my confidence back. Initially, when I came to her, I had the WORST breakout of my life. Cystic, blackhead, whitehead, you name it (pictured below). I had it all. The breakout lasted over a several month period before I saw her (approx. 3 months or more) and showed no signs of stopping, just getting worse. At the time, I was a sophomore in college and this gave me extreme social anxiety and insecurity as I was worried that people were constantly looking at my acne and not my face. Looks definitely don't mean everything to me, but I was tired of other people being so distracted by my face that they were treating differently. It was a very challenging time for me, but luckily my mom found this exact Yelp page when she was doing research and so we agreed to try her out. I was at the end of my rope -- so ready to give up and just accept the infected, acne-ridden skin I had. I didn't think it was possible to change it. I originally didn't have high expectations when I first saw her and I thought that this was going to be a dud, like all of my other efforts had been to fix my skin. Prior to Mandy, I had a dermatologist, had been on at least 3 different acne medications, including Acutane (many of which actually made me physically sick or ill -- almost hospitalized) as well as having tried so many face washes and masks that I truly thought that I was maybe cursed with acne for life. Since day one, Mandy has been kind, compassionate and extremely helpful when assisting me with my skin. I go see her anytime I possibly can to get my skin treated or when I have a question about a new product or skin regimen. I trust her 110% and she has more than delivered, over and over again. She treats all of her clients with the utmost professionalism and care, as well as personalizes her care to YOUR specific skin. Over the summer in college, when I went back to California, Mandy also did research for me and temporarily referred me to an acne specialist she trusted. In the meantime before I got back, they helped me. I have never gone back to anyone else about my skin -- not even a dermatologist -- because I have never needed to. Mandy knows her stuff and I have been able to fix my acne problem just with her. My face is living proof that what she does works. It might as well be magic to me, because I couldn't have done it by myself. All of the time and investment I've spent on my skin with her has been totally worth it and I would do it again if I ever needed to. Today, I still have acne trouble, but that is mostly due to hormones. Either way, Mandy has been there by my side to help me figure it out and make it manageable. Soon, I'm going to be working on clearing up my acne scars with her and I can't wait. Thank you Mandy, for all you have done for me and so many others!! You are not only changing skin but changing lives.

I've tried waxing , plucking, and "drawing" in my brow. Those short term fixes were just that, short term. My dermatologist prescribed hair growth ointment and advised me to stop waxing and plucking at my eyebrows. One of his staff members suggested eyebrow threading for maintenance during my treatment. Of course I looked to Yelp for reviews, pictures and suggestions. I came across Esthetique Facial Spa on Adams Street. No appointment necessary for threading services. I walked in, signed in, and was threaded all in a matter of 20 minutes. Upon arrival one client was already in the chair, which is directly in the front to the left of the spa. My esthetician was calm and steady handed, she's everything previously described by other Yelpers. She shaped my eyebrows perfectly, paying much respect to my scar. Not as painful as I thought. My service was $10. I will definitely return in 2 weeks. Additional parking in the back.

I have not tried Admire yet, but I am sure that they put a lot of love in to creating them.

Michael exceeded my expectations.

Michael is thoroughly educated and it is obvious that he loves his work and takes great pride in it. He is caring, professional, thorough and has taught me something new each time I've been to see him. So far I've had multiple waxes done, including a Brazilian wax which was done better than any other I've had. I've had my eyelashes dyed and the experience was amazing. My boyfriend couldn't figure out what was different but kept complimenting me lol. If you don't like to wear makeup like me then this is the perfect supplemental beauty trick. I've bought essential oils and skincare products from him and his recommendations were spot on. No one has ever been able to deal with my super sensitive skin and know just the right products for it except Michael. Overall the atmosphere, professionalism and perfect results I get from Avalon have kept me coming back for more. 5 stars without a doubt. Thanks Michael! See you soon! :)

Best wax and massage experiences I've ever had!…read more When I moved from Memphis, I was afraid I wouldn't find a waxer as good as the one I left. But I found an even better one! Michael is so knowledgeable about the biology of anatomy in general and skin specifically. *Then* I found out he's a self-confessed "brow snob" so I let him start doing my brows and I seriously GET COMPLIMENTS on them now. THEN, in a fit of back spasms, I called him for a massage and...I don't even know how to explain how different his massage is from all the others I've had. So often you can practically choreograph how a massage is going to go because they all learned the same and they all do it the same. Not Michael. Again, with his knowledge level. He is so in-tune with what your body needs and he really delivers that. I am so glad to have found him!
