When I looked at myself in the mirror during the wedding I felt like I was reaching the potential peak of how beautiful I could be, something I cannot achieve with my own makeup skills.

It's such a great feeling to wake up like this - with brows AND lashes :) Crystal is such a perfectionist in everything she does. She's constantly taking new courses, and studying new techniques to grow her business. She's patient, knowledgeable, and after 4-5 years of seeing her I don't trust anyone else with my face and skincare recommendations. Thank you, Crystal!! I've been seeing Crystal for about a year now. I get so many compliments on my lashes - they look natural enough, but I don't wear any makeup except foundation so they really stand out. She's amazing and I refuse to see anyone else. Her new space is so comforting that I almost want to keep my eyes open while my lashes are being done :) now that she's in Rockville, it's not exactly an easy commute for me (living in Lake Ridge, VA), but she's so worth the extra miles. I trust her completely with my face, so I plan on getting my brows microbladed by her as well. So excited for that!

Amy was super responsive in setting up my appointment - squeezing me in the very next day.

Waxing can be a pretty awkward experience but she made it comfortable, both in her bedside manner and the actual waxing itself.

I booked an appointment with Amanda. I arrived and I was given a warm greeting and asked if I would like a beverage. I met with Amanda shortly thereafter and we chatted about what I was looking for, past experiences with coloring (I was in for a color), etc. Amanda is very friendly and nice to have a conversation with. She has been doing hair for 17 years! The end result was magnificent. It was totally beyond what I was looking for. There were many in the salon in awe as well. I have since yesterday gotten many compliments on my hair and being asked where I had it done. Go to Amanda! I'll be going back to her again for sure!

From my personal experience, she excels with color, highlights, cuts and blowdrys. She is honest, trustworthy and treats you like family. New Wave hair salon is just as amazing as Missy. From the moment you walk into the salon you are surrounded by many busy, talented stylists performing magic. It really is mesmerizing to watch. You are greeted promptly with a smile and checked in quickly. I can't rave enough about the shampoo/scalp massages given. Carolena is amazing! I am so fortunate Missy came into my life and I am very happy with new wave salon. I would recommend both Missy and the salon to anyone who wants to listen.

I absolutely love New Wave Salon! The entire team is incredibly talented, welcoming, and…read moreprofessional. Danny and Cesar do an amazing job with my perms--they truly understand how to create beautiful, natural-looking results. Bella is fantastic with both cuts and color; she always listens carefully and consistently delivers exactly what I'm hoping for. My mom and daughter also see Bella, and we all trust her completely! Elsa deserves a special mention as well--she is so gentle and thorough, making every hair wash feel relaxing and luxurious. On top of that, the administrative staff is incredibly organized and helpful, always calling with appointment reminders and making scheduling seamless. From start to finish, every visit is a wonderful experience. I highly recommend New Wave Salon to anyone looking for a skilled and caring team!

Once inside Spa 1669, I was greeted with a glass of Whiskey and personal cake for my birthday, and to my surprise, it was ironically Michael's birthday as well! The facial experience was by far, one of the most relaxing self-care activities I've ever engaged in: The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with calm music and engaging conversation. Not only did my skin appreciate the time and attention given to make it look healthier, but I appreciate my Aesthetician Michael for educating me on the skin -care treatment process as well as what routines and products are best suitable for my skin. I will definitely be back and HIGHLY recommend Spa 1669 for all your self-care, skin treatment needs!

I am extremely dissatisfied with Gentle Touch for Electrolysis treatment and would not recommend…read morethis business for adults or minors. I was a client myself and also brought my 16-year-old daughter for treatment. The owner was unprofessional, inflexible, and provided poor customer service. When the treatment was ineffective, my daughter was made to feel as though it was her fault, which is completely unacceptable--especially when working with a minor. There was no clear plan of care, no accountability for poor results, and the equipment used does not appear to be state-of-the-art. Rather than adjusting the approach, responsibility was shifted to the client. I would walk around with a full beard before I ever give this woman another penny of my money.

I started the process years ago but had to stop due to family life etc. However, the past two years have been life changing and I am more confident in my appearance and that's all because of Sohelia gentle touch and the excellent treatment process. She told me consistency is the key and not to miss my appointments and I think I have only missed two to date. I started with treatments for 1 hour or more and now down to 15 mins if that.

Amanda is GREAT! She's knowledgeable, very kind, engaging and professional. My facial went by too fast. I'll have two book services next time! I don't have problem skin so I can't speak about those treatments. I had the signature facial, with extractions, and it was exactly what my skin needed. I really appreciate that even though the space is in a salon suite, I didn't hear any noise from the businesses next door. Quiet is important to me when getting spa treatments. Highly recommend giving The Skincare Studio a try!

From the stress and also from me not taking good care of myself and following the skin routine Irina always reminds me to do. This was right before my wedding too so having all my acne come back added to the stress. I also developed a lot of back acne and my wedding dress was strapless. I texted Irina about my back before I had my scheduled appointment and Irina was able to move my appointment earlier so then she could spend more time on me and fix my back. Irina helped me do a lot of extractions and also told me how to best care in the next week leading up to the wedding. By the time the wedding came, my acne was cleared with minor areas where it was a lot easier to manage. I can't thank her enough! I now know I must keep with the schedule and visit Irina every 4-6 weeks, not only does she help me clear up my skin but also as a constant reminder to take care of myself. She never pushes products on me but I've fully bought in and listen to whatever she tells me I need as I have my full trust in her. I will forever be a client :) Pictures: 1) when I first went to Irina & after only 2 treatments with her and listening to her advice on my routine and diet 2) my back acne photo I texted Irina when I was freaking out what to do 3) wedding day - you can see the back is cleared!

Not only was it dry due to the weather changes, but it looked dull and what I can only describe as "gray." Basically, not cute. The website laid out what services were offered and how each helped the skin, even combining some of them into the Ella Ultimate Treatment package, which is what I opted for since it was my first facial and what not. Went full on out. Location and ambiance: located by the new One Life Fitness on the second floor of Sola Salon Studios, where there are a ton of different businesses under one roof. I saw hair, makeup, etc. The room was the perfect size, very clean and organized. Backlit with a calming purple hue, plus acoustic music playing in the background Service: Taylor was my esthetician and she was really warm and welcoming. After filling out some forms, we jumped right in, talking through what was happening during each step since I was pretty unfamiliar with it all I left with my skin feeling the softest it has in years and very glowy and dewy - exactly what I was hoping for. It's only been a few days, so I'm curious to see how long the results last, combined with my new knowledge of what my skin needs (she emphasized hydration and exfoliation). Looking forward to returning for maintenance. Small suggestions for improvement: I wish there was a way to fill out the intake form online. I did it when I first arrived and we didn't deeply discuss the form or my skin concerns before diving in. It would also be helpful to give patients a resource for when they leave. For a noob like me, there was a lot of terminology and products and suggestions, so it was a little hard to wrap my mind around.
