    UPDATE: The owner, Shally, I saw my review and contacted me within two hours of me posting it. She was very gracious and apologetic and wanted the opportunity to fix the mistake with my lashes. I went back this morning, and I could not be happier with the outcome. These were the lashes that I thought I would have got yesterday. So glad I gave them a second chance! I'm upgrading my review from three stars to five because of the way the situation was handled. Thank you for valuing me as a client. So this review covers a couple of things. I usually go to the Smith Street location. I think I prefer that location although parking is hit or miss. I never have to wait very long and my eyebrows are always perfect! Unfortunately today I tried the temporary eyelashes as well the threading. Threading is always was just what I wanted. However, the eyelashes are absolutely horrible. I went to the hillside location because the girl does lashes wasn't at the Smith Street location. As sweet as she was, her work ended up making me look like a drag queen. I had them on a total of three hours before I ended up ripping them off. Losing my natural eyelashes in the process as well. But I was prepared for that. They were too heavy, had too much glue, are way too thick (I asked for a natural look), and they did not extend all the way from end to end of my lash line. I will continue to go back for threading but never for lashes again. Unfortunately I was warned that if I did not like them, I could not get my money back. I should've known that it was a disclaimer of the work being done. I've added a few pictures...

    I was thrilled to see that this threading salon just opened right down the street (literally can walk there!). It beats having to go inside a crowded mall and pay for parking. While I've only been one time, I had a great experience. Eyebrows looked great and the threader was very fast and efficient. They also have a "membership" of sorts for $14.99. Unlimited threading for the month. While I'm not sure I'll need more than once a month, it's great to know I can go down any time and that it'll ultimately be cheaper than what I pay each time I go. Great offering!

    I'm hoping that my relationship with Skin Essentials will be a fruitful one! It started off as…read moresuch! After purchasing a recent Groupon for laser hair removal treatments, I went for my first appointment this afternoon. As a newbie to this method, I was a bit nervous and curious about what to expect. I opted to get my underarms done and was assured by the receptionist (and technician!) that it will be completely worth it in the end. Apparently I'll want to wear tank tops all the time once I'm done! The interior of this business is well decorated, comforting, and exudes the quality of a spa. While I waited for my appointment, I sat on a plush red couch, surrounded by the smell of scented candles, and drawn to the Keurig coffees and teas available. My appointment was actually later in the day than I had originally made it for. I was called the day before and informed that a piece needed to be replaced on the laser machine and that they needed to reschedule with me. After much apologizing, I received an appointment later in the day and was told I'd be called in the morning to inform me of the progress of their fix. I received my call today and drove on over. For having had to reschedule, my wait was very quick. She brought me in the treatment room, explained the whole process, gave me a chance to ask any questions I had, and was very attuned to my needs during the entire procedure. I have to say. . . hair follicles certainly do not go out without a fight! I can't say that the procedure was comfortable, but the staff do their best to decrease your discomfort. I was given stress balls to squeeze (which at first reminded me of the "here bite on this so I can chop off your leg" type medicine of the distant past) and had a blast of cold air on my skin during the procedure to take the edge off. The technician did a good job talking to me throughout which also helped distract me from the needle-like pain of the laser. Had I needed her to stop at any time, she was more than willing to do so to give me a break. The actual procedure took less than 15 minutes and I was truly in and out of the office. I was given post care instructions and encouraged to call if I had any further questions or concerns. While I'm not looking forward to the procedure again, I'm definitely looking forward to the results. I'll have to update a long time from now when all six sessions are complete to review the results!

    This place is a good example of "too big for your britches." They use a special kind of laser -…read morethey say its top of the line, etc, etc - but it seems to be less effective for hair removal than the typical candela that shoots you in the face. This one requires gel to be applied to you - which is nice and cool - but very messy. Also, they require you to bring in your own anti-inflammation gel and clean your face before arriving - they don't have any themselves. Usually, spas will give you some witch hazel to clean the area and hydrocortisone afterwards. This place recommends both, but doesn't supply them. Donna, the owner, is superficially very nice but not great with customer service. When I asked her about the equipment used, she told me to ask the woman who would be doing the service. When I asked the woman doing the service, she told me to ask Donna. Hm...

    I have been coming to Rehka for almost 2 years now and I wouldn't trade her for anyone else. She is…read moreso good at what she does and always goes above and beyond. Every time I get off the chair I am so happy with my results. She still thinks she has a lot of work to do and that my progress is only 85% out of 100% but to me she's exceeded that and I love my eyebrows again thanks to her.

    I don't normally write reviews, but I felt compelled to because of my experience here. I hate being…read morenegative, and I do believe Rekha knows what she's doing. The eyebrow tint and threading I received were ok (not the best), but I was very disappointed by the customer service here. I arrived on time for my appointment, and there was a client midway through a service. I had to wait 15 minutes, which isn't a huge deal, but there wasn't any acknowledgement of my appointment time or even a "welcome in". When I was told to sit down, Rekha proceeded to take a lot of photos of my face, and though there is a sign on the wall stating that these pictures are for educational purposes, I felt much more like a marketing tool than a valued client. I immediately noticed her using the same, unwashed brush on my face that she had used on her previous client. She talked herself up a lot and made some insensitive comments about how next time I could be "brave" and have my upper lip done. She also interrupted my service about halfway through to take care of a quick walk-in, which, again, wouldn't be a huge deal if she had been more polite about it. The end of the service felt rushed to me, which was probably because there was a long line of people waiting. Rekha had apparently booked two clients for the same appointment slot and also told a few others who had called that she had time for walk-ins. I know that mistakes happen, but she really didn't seem to care much, and it was very chaotic. I had also scheduled an eyelash tinting with her, which she forgot about and said she didn't have time for. At that point, though, I was happy to get out of there. TL;DR: Ok, not great threading and eyebrow tint, terrible customer service and subpar cleanliness.

    In summary: Do not get laser hair removal here! The strip of hair I wanted to keep was lasered and…read moreis not growing back!!! I have two circular bald spots in my "racing strip". They would not give me a refund! The are I really wanted gone had no effect because it was not done thoroughly. Full Experience: I went in January 2023 for laser hair removal. I had my consult with the secretary because the laser tech was in an appointment, I would have rather met the actual tech. I bought a package for the bikini area. At the appointment, I noticed that the tech did not outline the area to be covered. I told the tech I wanted to keep a "racing strip", which I had cut short but did not shave off. The tech told me not to open my legs!? So I sat with knees in bent position and the crease didn't get any laser. She started in a back and forth row pattern on the top left side but then did a brisk pulse down the labia. On the right ride, the tech (Lynn) did not do a "row" pattern and just lasered random spots. Then she hit my racing strip with two pulses and now I have two circular bald spots!!! I'm livid! She didn't pay attention to detail at all. The labia area and crease had zero effect at all. Probably because it was not done thoroughly. Do not go to Skinsational for laser hair removal treatment!

    I was hesitant about choosing a location for my laser hair removal treatments (I read a lot of bad…read morereviews about other places like Ideal Image being a scam) but I am SO happy I chose Skinsational. Their prices are reasonable and straight forward. They also offer promotional deals such as free underarms with purchase of bikini laser package. Everybody gets the same price and the same package no matter what skin tone or hair type you have - other places I called said the price goes up based on this criteria which made no sense to me. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and the laser itself is painless. I definitely recommend Skinsational to anyone considering laser hair removal.
