Estina is extremely good at what she does. Every service I have had done there is top notch-…read morewaxing, facials, makeup lesson, and fake tanning. I have gone for regular facials for years, and while I haven't yet stopped the aging process, my skin looks healthier for going to her- less clogged, brighter, more even tone, way fewer breakouts. But what keeps me coming back to E spa really isn't the services. It's Estina. Estina is kind, funny, and above all, non judgmental. So many times with other professionals in the beauty industry, I have been criticized or shamed in order to make a sale. "Your hair needs highlights." "Your nails are too short." "Your eyebrows are too light." "You need to wax your sideburns and your mustache". What? Never, ever has Estina done this. She likely won't even bring up a different service unless you ask. And when you do ask, she speaks to you in a non judgmental, kind, professional way because she knows her products and services and wants to help- not just sell. As long as Estina is in La Crosse I will be a loyal customer.

While more expensive than drugstore brands, Estina's products are hand-selected by her for the client and her expertise and care is evident. There's more to her studio than just make-up (facials, treatments, reiki) and the space is inviting.

I made an appointment to get red color added. I was told they needed to do a "color correction" in…read moreother words they bleach part of my hair which not only did they leave the bleach for more than an hour but put me under a heat dryer! The damage to my hair was terrible. As the stylist was washing off the red dye and about to give me a haircut the Owner told the stylist to add an extra 4 oz. I wasn't sure what she meant at the time as the stylist looked surprised. The girl try her hardest to camouflaged the damage she had done to my hair with over 5 products she didn't even fully dried my hair. I came in with healthy shiny hair and left with over processed hair! I couldn't even put my fingers through it! To top it off I was charged $245 for ruining my hair! I KNOW it's not the stylist fault as the OWNER knows that she's only been doing hair for a year she should've had her put a timer on & checked to make sure she was doing everything properly. Instead she decided to have her charge me an extra 4 oz of hair dye THAT WERE NEVER USED ON MY HAIR a total of $57 and change more! I couldn't believe it! The receptionist is not very friendly neither were most of the employees there. The place is so clustered that if there was another client on the next station you literally had to walk all around to get back into your seat! I responded to the email they said asking how my experience was and all the owner did was NOT OWN UP TO WHAT HAPPENED!!! I had to stop at Ulta to get me some hair bonding the moment the stylist saw she was like let's get you this to do as soon as you get home. Then I went in the next day to have a hair mask and another treatment to salvage some of my hair. I've spent $189 so far just to try and fix as much of the damage as possible. I'll have to go next weekend to a hair salon to have them cut as much of the damaged hair as possible and do another treatment!!! Too bad I didn't tell my coworkers where I had made my hair appointment because they would've stopped me from going. Three of my coworkers said they had the worst experience & how excessive & ridiculously over priced! All they did was bleached my hair & use one hair dye through my entire hair. I was sent home with red dye all around my face, neck and ears. I literally had to buy a product to have it all removed. I contacted the Cosmetology Licensing Department. I was told to request a refund & that they were going to look into that Salon as other people have already called & made complaints! For being in Sparta their fees are ridiculous! I've check prices today on salons in Onalaska & even in Madison & none of them quoted me as high!!! I'm surprised she's still has customers as I saw a couple of ladies leave very dissatisfied with their results. AS MY COWORKERS SAID IF ANYONE EVER ASKS THEM ABOUT THIS PLACE - THEIR RESPONSE IS NOOOOO DO NOT GO THERE IT'LL BE THE BIGGEST & COSTLIEST MISTAKE EVER!!! All in all when the OWNER is telling the stylist to charge more than the amount of product she used.... Just goes to show you that either she KNOWS the client won't be back or SHE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT the clientele at all.

TL;DR: OMG Shana is the BEST! You won't regret booking services with her!…read more Long Version Where I Gush About How Great Shana Is: Shana has been my aesthetician since 2019, during the time she worked at another salon spa. I've gotten a variety of treatments and services, including my regular Brazilian, occasional full leg waxing, facial, dermaplaning, eyelash tint & lift, etc. There are not enough good words in the English language to describe how great Shana is! (I could start at "A" with Amazing and Awesome, go to "B" with Brilliant and Brave and Beautiful, "C" for Caring, "D" for Delightful, and so on, but I'd be limiting myself to only a few adjectives, and Shana deserves so much more!) Shana has a wonderful way of making you feel comfortable (not that easy when you've got your knickers off and someone ripping hair off your girl parts, let me tell you!) and cared for with love and attention. She has great advice and suggestions, and always tries to answer my nutty irrelevant beauty questions ("Shana, please tell me how I can get rid of these hollow half-moons under my eyes? Shana, why does hair do THIS weird thing? Shana, what even ARE parabens?" Now that she's started her own Spa, I think her services will really shine all the brighter because she's making all the decisions about what products to use, what services to offer, etc. My recent visit was probably one of the least irritating waxes I've ever had thanks to her fabulous post-procedure treatments, and believe it or not more than a week later, my hair has barely regrown!! (Shana, holy moly, don't use too much of that stuff or I won't have any hair left for you to wax!! XD) I could go on and on about how much I love Shana, but if you've read this far, you can probably already tell. Don't delay! Book with Shana today! You won't regret it! PS: I am not related to Shana, nor I was not given anything for free in exchange for this very honest review (nor would I accept anything in exchange for my freely given opinion EVER, anyway) and I say this because of my own worries when I see a bunch of glowing reviews that the reviewers are all just cousins of the owner. Believe me, Shana is just great. She doesn't need to get her cousins to say nice things about her, because everyone loves her!

I will definitely be making her facials a regular part of my beauty routine. If you're looking to treat yourself, improve your beauty routine, or get any sort of waxing done, you seriously won't find a better option! I can't recommend Elena highly enough!
