    Though the manicurist was very sweet this was a terrible manicure. Very disappointed.
    Jen M.

    My boyfriend booked the massage, mani, pedi, and facial special for us on Groupon. We thought we scored a great deal based off the positive reviews but unfortunately we had a bad experience. We felt rushed especially when this woman who we believe was the owner came in. She appeared annoyed and said something to the staff in her language. The staff became uptight and rushed through their tasks. My manicurist was sweet but did a poor job. She painted over my cuticles and the nail polish was streaky. It looked like a child did my manicure. I uploaded a photo of the manicure. My bf's nails were cut too low and he was cut twice during his manicure. My masseuse had a cold and was sniffling and coughing throughout the massage. The massage felt very rushed. The facial was pleasant however I was afraid the masseuse might cough in my face.

    This place is awful. I had a head to toe package. The message was ok. The Mani/ pedi was terrible. 8 of my fingers were nicked but my thumb was cute so badly it bleed for thirty minutes after I left the salon. Basically I have a terrible blood filled manicure and a giant gash on the nailbed of my thumb. Picture has been added to this site for reference.

    Great massage. Toes and fingers are beautifully polished. All the ladies were friendly. Spa was clean and relaxing. Very affordable. My only negative is the pedicure and manicure chairs. The pedicure chair did have the ability to massage but would not decline or move backward/forward. That made sitting there during my pedicure less relaxing. The manicure chair was not comfortable either and there was no padded surface or anything to help support my arms/wrists when getting manicure.

    Nice massage therapist but the massage itself was so so. Seems like maybe she lacked training.

The word on the street was that Karen Golden was the person you went to if you were coming into this from a place of trauma and the street wasn't kidding. If you're kind of a hot mess, you won't find a more compassionate person. She's not judgy, she's not unkind, and she makes the process of ripping your pubic hair out of your body as not-awful as it possibly could be. The room is clean and smells nice. Her assistant Lara is also as kind as can be. She takes cash or checks and everyone is understanding if you don't come by on the regular or have to cancel at the last minute (I disappear for months at a time: my income ain't what it used to be) but if you can only go to one place for the rest of your life for waxing, this is where you should go. She's the best.

I have done single process, partial highlights, full highlights, and hair cuts with her. She has done a perfect job each and every time. I would highly recommend her to anyone! Her prices are more than fair and her work product is priceless. Further, she is efficient with her time without sacrificing the end result. I greatly appreciate that I am not sitting in the chair for an unnecessary amount of time which is what happens at most other salons. And for the time I am sitting in the chair, she is great conversation! Not only does she do amazing work, she cultivates a safe space through her radiant and kind personality. I am so lucky to have been referred to her by a friend and I hope to have her do my hair forever! I have curly dark brown hair and she has safely got me to the blonde shade I desire. Her highlights add so much dimension to my hair and I feel so confident after she does my hair. My hair is so healthy and she is very knowledgeable on how to safely bleach hair, especially curly hair. Douja is so talented and everyone should get their hair done by her!!

    I received an email from EWC out of the blue with details of 50% off all services through the end…read moreof the year. I had been to a location in Washington DC several years ago, and haven't heard from them since, so this must have been fate! I have had so many bad waxes in the last two years, but decided to take one more chance and booked online with Jenelle (based on a couple of reviews on Yelp). My appt was at 9:15 on a Saturday morning, so there was no wait at all and the salon was quiet. Jenelle is really nice and did an AMAZING job - not one single stray hair for me to tweeze (which is not a problem for me, but I have left a few visits elsewhere practically needing to go somewhere the next day... no exaggeration) and no wax residue on me either. If you have ever had wax stuck to you the next day that just will not come off, you know how exciting this was for me! Payment was quick and easy, they allow a tip to be left on your credit card, but I like to give cash. Thanks Jenelle, and see you next time!

    I had eyebrows, upper and lower lip, and chin done last Sunday. The technician had a nice demeanor,…read morebut her technique left me with sores (that soon turned into scabs) on my lower lip and eyebrow area. Instead of using a single swift pull, this technician (Sheila) used a series of small pulls, which I believe led to the sores. But I'm not sure about that. What I can say is that I'm in my mid-50s, have been waxing for decades, and have never been left with sores/scabs. So this issue is distinct to this visit to EWC in Brookline, MA (and I've been to several others in the area). Additionally troubling is that I wrote a note to EWC stating the above to no avail, even offering to send them photos that I'd taken. Not only did no one contact me, I know they received my complaint because I got a follow-up survey inquiring as to my satisfaction regarding the efficacy of their follow-up. Incredible! You can't make this stuff up. I've even checked Junk, thinking "surely not, surely *someone* would have written back; maybe it went into the Spam folder." Nope. Non. Nada. Anyway, the woman at the front desk was lovely, friendly, chatty, and very welcoming. Despite that, unless I want more scabs, returning to this EWC seems unwise and so I won't.
