My aesthetician was Ciara. I had my eyebrows, lips, under arms and Brazilian done. At soon as I walked in, I can smell weed on her, especially as her hands were close to my face, and I smelled it on her breathing on me. But that's not the worst. It felt like I was the first customer because the wax was really hot. I had mentioned it to her several times that it was hot and she even told me that she noticed it so when she did my eyebrows but she continued to do my eyebrows and upper lips. She even put more wax on top even after she said that she notice it. I did keep on letting her know that it was still too hot. She asked if this was the first time I've had wax done, and I told her - no. I've been getting waxed for the last 25 years. When I got to my car to check my face, I had large noticeable burnt spots under my eyebrows, both left and right and over my upper lip, both left and right. I went back to the store to show the manager, Francesca Moreira, to complain about the burn spots from Ciara. The manager told me that it looks a little red; and when I told her to look closer and that Ciara actually burnt skin off, she told me that she was not certified to say so or not. It does not take a genius to see that skin was taken from the hot wax. There's a huge difference. I'm not sure how she is the manager of a team of aestheticians, and not certified just to see that Ciara, or other aestheticians, actually took skin off when Ciara waxed my eyebrows and upper lip. I had to ask to talk to the Regional Manager, Tony Badolato, but she only offered to provide me an email. I had to call back several times because she provided two incorrect emails where it was undeliverable because it didn't exist. Finally, the front desk provided me with the correct one. It took 3x times to get a hold of the regional manager. I had to go to work with burnt scabs on my face. I cried upset over the whole experience. Bottom line, I will not be coming back to any European Wax location. This experience destroyed any expectation I might have with any other aesthetician they might have on staff or the managers they hire who don't have training or is certified in the service they provide. If I could give ZERO stars, I would. I did get reimbursed but not until after I was asked to provide pictures for proof by the Regional Manager. It was a horrific experience. Never again.

I have not tried any of the services, I actively go for the 90 minute healing water session. Complementary tea and water is available upon check-in and freshwater is also available in the actual healing waters space. There is staff to give you cold towels, and tend to any questions that you have during your session. There's also an option to extend past the 90mins which I recommend. I also recommend that you arrive 15 minutes earlier that is not a suggestion. Your session time starts once you book so you can factor in undressing and getting ready for the healing waters space which is also coed.

She told me that the many chin hairs she left behind were bumps! Not true. I had to go elsewhere to get the rest of the hair removed. 3. I was horrified at the brow tint!! She applied the tint about 3 times telling me it was not dark enough. When I looked in the mirror it looked like she used a black magic marker. To top it off she overly exaggerated the brows! I literally looked like a damn fool!!!!! Perhaps the other ladies do better work. But I'm not willing to take that chance here!!!

During my third service of eyebrow lamination, I think I was snoring because the atmosphere was so relaxing, calming and safe. My services were in a private area well ventilated and well lit!

It's made such a difference in my confidence. I appreciate Mary Ellen's knowledge of physiology. She's a retired nurse so she understands the body from the inside out.

This was a persistent problem that made me very self-conscious. She understands that. My skin is looking better and better. The hair growth is very light now. I know that it will cease and I'm patient with the process. My skin looks healthy because of the products Mary Ellen recommends. She's also a stickler on hydration and nutrition.

Are you ready for your world to change?…read more The only reason why I thought of not posting what I will say, is because I know this will get Magdalen more busy and man what will I do if I ever lose her? I don't know. But let me tell you a little bit more about the decision you are about to make. My first ever waxer relocated to a whole another state and I was lost for sometime. I tried to become a regular for European Wax but their service and work did not mix well with me. I am currently located at #AspenHills #Rockville and I started looking for waxers. Wanting to find a place that feels like home and a safe space to be reborn every other 4-6 weeks. When I found Magdalen's page, the reviews automatically got my attention and decided to book being that she was 13-15 min away. The BEST decision I've made all year. When you enter, this particular smell that its so deliciously delicate welcomes you. Warning, in the beginning you will be confused and nervous because her method is so different from what everyone else is doing. But trust me when I say that it's less painful and more effective. I have thick hair and it grows really fast but after my first visit with Magdalen I noticed about only 60% of my hair growing back. Which is crazy for the amount of hair I used to grow with the other waxer. She warned me about growing less hair and less pain but you just have to book for the experience and for finding a home. She cleans THROUGHLY... life changing. Her wisdom definitely outshines her years of experience and yes, you will look forward to seeing her every visit.
