It is a hidden gem in STL! The space is newly renovated and feels super cozy and warm the second you walk in. She takes the time to explain every step of the facial process which made me feel really comfortable. You can tell she actually knows her stuff and cares about what she's doing. I learned a bit about her story and it's clear she's genuinely passionate about skincare and her clients. It totally makes sense why she's built such long lasting relationships with her customers. She's professional but also really kind and easy to talk to. The whole experience felt relaxing and personal. It's the perfect spot if you want to treat yourself or even give as a gift. I'd definitely come back again. read more

See all

Facials are my personal fav relax place. My lady of several years recently relocated (thrilled for her) and transitioning to a new person like was not exciting to me. I did the house facial with Nicole. Great convo about my personal skin history up top. She like MASSAGES your face. It was like the perfect pressure IMO. The product line she has smells good but isn't super heavy (again my jam). She did a light thing that she explained but was relaxing i stead of listening. Having had pretty significant acne in my youth, I'm precious about my derm approved products. Nicole was like would be cool if I could have sat in home care and I understand so you tell me when you are ready. This is also how I would like that handled. So overall, great facial and easy to talk to Nicole! read more

My full leg wax was incredibly pleasant! As someone who hadn't had a leg wax done before, it was much easier than expected. We had great conversations and she made sure to check in with me throughout. The current office is under remodel, but she did a great job of making it as comfortable as possible! read more

Nicole is amazing at making you feel as comfortable as possible while getting a wax! She is quick but thorough and has always done an amazing job. read more

This review is for waxing as it's the only service I've had here so far. I've been to STL Skin+Body a number times over the past 2 years. I honestly thought I left a review a while ago, but at least now I am writing with significant experience here. For reference, I have fine hair and have had brazilian, legs, armpits and face done. I exclusively see Nicole. My sensitive skin has never had an issue and I've always been happy with the results. Nicole is thorough and keeps things moving pretty quickly. She's not so fast that she's missing spots but she's not so slow that you're crawling out of your skin for things to wrap. She is also fun to chat with during what is one of the least enjoyable 'self-care' rituals, which is a big plus for me. I am not good with pain and I am thankful for her distraction. I have sensitive skin and super fine hair. That means waxing me can be tedious and difficult; and if your wax is too hot or you go over a spot too many times - I am guaranteed to get ingrowns in that spot because my hair won't be able to break through that damaged skin during regrowth. I get less ingrowns (next to none) after my waxes here than almost anywhere else I've been. And yes - I've been to the couple of super fancy studios here that are twice the price and Nicole is hands down better. Lastly, I love that Nicole is pretty flexible with booking. My schedule rarely allows me to book more than a week in advance and I've never had a problem getting in. None of us want to cancel/run late at the last minute, but life happens and when that happened to me Nicole was empathetic and went out of her way to work with me to adjust my appointment so I could still get waxed before leaving for vacation. I can't recommend seeing Nicole at STL Skin+Body for your waxing needs enough! read more

Don't know why I waited to long to come back. My Facial today was Amazing. My face is baby butt soft & glowing. I will be back soon. Nicole was a joy to talk to. When I looked at my reviews the last time I was here was 2017. I will be back next month. I Highly recommend Pampering your self w/Nicole at STL skin + body. read more

Awesome massage by Stephanie. My body is torn up from years of heavy lifting and military service. Definitely loosened up and relieved a ton of tension. 100% will go back and recommend to others. read more

~1.5 years later, Nicole is still my favorite esthetician in St Louis. I've tried a few other spas to compare, and Nicole is definitely the most knowledgable, skillful and caring. She asks a lot of questions to make sure I'm getting the right treatments and doesn't sell me on anything I don't need (can't say the same about other spas!) I tried dermaplaning for the first time, and my face is glowing! Will definitely keep going to her :) read more

So just got in town and decided I wanted a last minute wax and to my surprise I found this hidden gem! Let me start by saying I booked through Yelp and received my confirmation immediately for a same day appointment. Booking was easy and quick. I arrive at the business and there's plenty of parking in the back, I enter the door and Allison is there to greet me as soon as I walked in. The lights were low the products for sale were perfectly placed and the decor was relaxing. I chatted with Allison a bit and she advised that Nicole was going to get wax and so we chatted some more while I waited. I immediately felt welcome and comfortable. Nicole arrived and just when I thought it couldn't get any better it did! Nicole was warm, welcoming, funny, and super attentive. Before I knew it she was finished . The room setup was clean, she used great products to soothe my skin and she made me feel completely at ease. Pricing is perfect and the ladies are divine! Best customer service I have received in a long time. Nicole will definitely be my go to for waxing from now on! Planning to get a massage with one of the ladies next week, so needless to say I'll definitely be back. If you're in the area definitely give them a stop by for all of your waxing, facial, and massage needs I guarantee these ladies will not disappoint ! read more

This review is for Nicole. I've had waxes done in multiple big cities-- LA, NY, SF and STL and she has been the best. As painless as it can be, professional, friendly, puts you at ease. The least red spots that I've had, the wax isn't scalding and she does her job well! I'll definitely be back and glad I read other people's recommendations. read more

Nicole was such a joy to work with! This was my first experience receiving a facial and dermaplane. She did a fantastic job of explaining the process and my skin felt amazing afterwards. It was SO relaxing! Thank you so much Nicole! read more

Before I moved from the East Coast, I saw my dermatologist for light chemical peels plus I've had a handful of microdermabrasions, too. (She said there are now much better options than microderm, so skip them.) I've only had a consult here at STL skin+body which included a facial. Nicole was promising a lot. I have some facial sun damage and three dark splotches that are bugging me, but wrinkling is not a big problem, nor concern for me right now, even though I'm 58. My skin care is, how do I say this, definitely more medical based than cosmetically based. I've used prescription retinoids and hydroquinone creams in the past. So, Nicole's facial was relaxing and all but why would I pay for salon-grade products when prescription products are the gold standard (besides having science-backed results)? So, it was a nice experience but I'm still looking. read more

I followed Nicole to her new business Skincare STL from her former salon, Salon Edge. I've been a customer of Nicole's for about a year and a half now and I go to her for my waxing needs. She is fantastic!! She is very skilled and professional but also friendly and gentle which makes the process much MORE pleasant and comfortable. For as painful as the process is, she makes it as bearable as possible. Also, prices are reasonable (in fact, on the cheap side). Her new business has an online booking system which, besides a few glitches at the beginning, is very easy and convenient. She is also responsive and helpful to make/change appointments by text. Go see her and tell her I sent you! :-) read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review before, because Nicole is AWESOME. I've been seeing her for about 2 years now and she has done more for my acne problematic skin than any dermatologist I've seen. Not only are the facials themselves great, but the Rhonda Alison products have completely revamped my skin routine and transformed my skin. I also find prices to be incredibly reasonable. Nicole is incredibly knowledgeable and is also a wonderful person that I've gotten to know over the years. Can't wait to go back in a few weeks! read more

Excellent facial that was curated to my needs! Nicole did an amazing job and even gave me free samples of products to try. There wasn't any pressure to purchase products used either. read more

I had an amazing massage with a Jamie this week after not being able to see the chiropractor or get a massage for about 9 months due to Covid. As a runner and someone who has spent too much time hunched over a computer, I had a lot of tension in my shoulders, lower back and arms. Jamie was able to identify all of the trouble spots, work it out and I left feeling relaxed and refreshed! Was happy to book again in a few weeks and highly recommend her and STL Skin and Body! read more

Nicole is an excellent esthetician and does an amazing job at putting her clients at ease like you're old friends. I haven't been doing much waxing these past few years but I've gone a few different times for facials pre-COVID and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and results. I hope to book again soon. read more

Nicole is amazing! I've never been more relaxed. Can't wait for my next appointment Thanks so much!

Your search for the best esthetician stops here, I promise. I cannot say enough good things about Skincare STL. I've been struggling with adult hormonal acne and everything associated (clogged pores, scarring, hyperpigmentation, etc.) for years. I've tried everything for my skin- doctors, prescriptions, esthetician services, and nothing helped long term. Before finding Nicole, I knew of everything that DIDN'T work for my skin, but nothing that DID work. Enter Nicole! I've been a client for 2 years, and I will never look back. I've seen Nicole for several facials, extractions, and Brazilian bikini waxing. I don't know the best part about sessions with Nicole- for facials, she intently listens to your skin history, struggles, and goals, performs great skin assessments before treatments, and knows exactly what products to use. She uses an amazing line of products, and usually mixes several to customize blends that will work for you. For waxing, Nicole is fast, efficient, and most importantly THOROUGH. I've been waxed by 10 or more people, and none take the time to remove every hair like Nicole. She doesn't follow a standard 'the bikini line ends here on every single person' rigid, anatomical-style model when waxing, but rather customizes the waxing areas based on your body and your personal needs. NICOLE CARES ABOUT HER CLIENTS! I can truly say Nicole is the best esthetician I have ever visited, and I have a few in my own family! She tackles my problematic skin, and can turn it around in just one visit. If I go too long without seeing Nicole, I notice it. I've never had a bad appointment with her, and I recommend her to anyone without hesitation. She offered to give my friend a discount on a service just because she wanted her to see a difference in her skin even though she's on a college budget- how amazing is that? If you're looking for something not on her services list, reach out anyway. I guarantee that Nicole will customize something perfect for you. She truly cares about her clients and wants everyone to see great results. Finding Nicole has been one of the best discoveries I've made. I'm a college student in the STL area, and will be leaving the city to go back home in the next year. I am absolutely planning on making trips back to STL to visit Nicole. If that doesn't tell you how much I love Skincare STL, I don't know what will! read more

I came here for a facial for the first time a month-ish ago. I liked how calm and comforting the waiting room was. I enjoyed the facial, but I asked if there was anything I could to about my blackheads and the lady said yes, but didn't do anything to them. Other than that, I thought it was very refreshing, I just wish it would have been focused towards skin problems I was having. read more

Consistently great service, excellent staff and love the new massage therapist, Jamie!

I have been seeing Nicole for years. I started having dark spots on my face and the product line she has, definitely did the trick. She is so knowledgable and affordable. I did my first peel this past week and my skin looks amazing. Nicole prepared me very well for what to expect. If you want/need services, Nicole is your girl!! read more

This was my first ever facial. After seeing all the great reviews, I set up my appointment. Nicole rocks! She immediately made me feel very comfortable and was eager to help me understand how this all worked and what was happening with each step in the process. I did the multi-vitamin facial, and it was very relaxing. I could totally see doing this again, and I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this location. My skin really did have a glow the rest of that day and night. read more

I love nicole!!! I moved to stl and went to her based on her amazing reviews which are SOOO accurate. She gives the most efficient and painless Brazilian while making sure you're comfortable the entire time. I cannot recommend her enough! read more

I've been seeing Nicole for waxes for about a year, starting at her former salon, Salon Edge, and then to Skincare STL since she started it. I got my very first wax with her and have stuck with her ever since, because she is awesome! She made my first experience as comfortable and relaxed as possible, and was very upfront about the process which was great. She is very professional, warm, and makes our appointments go as smooth as can be. I'm usually in and out in 10 minutes. Beyond the incredible service, her prices are unbeatable. I could not recommend Nicole enough! read more

Nicole was amazing! This was my first time having any waxing done, and she made my Brazilian so comfortable! It was really fast and a surprisingly enjoyable experience, considering the circumstances. I would HIGHKY recommend going to Nicole! read more

Great experience here. I came in from out of town and booked an appointment at the last minute. I got a facial and waxing. Nice job. I'll be back. read more

Update: I have also been getting facials and peels with Nicole for a little over a year now and my skin has never looked better!! I was skeptical at first but I have been proven wrong (so wrong) and I am a big believer in regular facials and peels. read more

You have to LOVE Nicole. I was new to the St. Louis area and in dire need of a professional, reliable and friendly aesthetician. I called around to a few places and finally called a place by the name of Salon Edge. The representative told me that they had a woman who did great Full Brazilians and gave me Nicole's number because she had started her own practice. Well that was my first sign...if her old workplace referenced me to her then she had to be great. I scheduled my first appointment without hesitation. Upon arrival, the building had a phenomenal smell which is usually a great sign and Nicole greeted me politely. As my appointment began, she made me feel extremely comfortable. We started conversing about life and sharing stories. I believe it's always good to have an aesthetician who can hold a conversation to distract you from the uncomfortable pain you'll incur. And now months later, I am still a client and proud to be. As long as I'm in St. Louis, there will be only one person that I go to and that is Nicole. read more

Nicole is amazing. I am awful at waxing and was able to withstand more than usual when working with Nicole. Clean space, fun conversation.

Nicole of Skincare STL is the best! She not only has an outstanding personality but she provides excellent customer service and top of the line, professional waxing and facial services. I've been a client of hers for over 2 years and I will not go to anyone else for my skin care and waxing needs. You will feel calm and comfortable in what can be a very uncomfortable and awkward setting. I promise you, you will not be disappointed in choosing Skincare STL!! Not to mention, her prices are not sky high and she often features special pricing for various things throughout the year. read more

Nicole is GREAT! I found her when she was near Grand and followed her to the new location on Big Bend. She does great waxing and facials. Nicole is very good at making a pertain confortable in otherwise extremely uncomfortable situations (Brazilian wax)! She is always courteous, professional, and responsive to questions and concerns. I have and continue to recommend her to my family and friends! read more

Great place for waxing, I've been going there for my Brazilian for over a year and I'm very satisfied with Nicole!! She's gentle and quick and efficient. I would definitely recommend her to all my friends and colleagues. Her schedule is flexible and there's customer incentives and discounts all the time! Great customer service!! read more

I can't say enough good things about Nicole. I went to her for my prewedding wax. Waxing is never pleasant, but she really makes it comfortable. She is very reasonably priced. She also texts and emails with specials. She has a client for life right here! read more

I do not know why I haven't posted this review before. I saw Nicole all of last summer and honestly she's one of the best skin care therapists I've ever known. She truly understands skin types and is so passionate about her work. She pretty much transformed my skincare routine and I saw long lasting results after each facial (unlike some other places where you feel no difference or that you could have just done it yourself at home). These are really thorough facials, specifically customised for your skin at a very affordable price point. (I so miss Nicole's amazing prices and her fab service ofcourse compared to other spas in LA and NYC). If I was still living in St.Louis, Nicole would have me as her client for life! I still use the mandelic serum and the brightening scrub that she recommended to me last year and it works great. Like Nicole says, "skincare routine is similar to solving a cross word puzzle, you just got to find your missing piece!" Thanks Nicole!! :) Can't wait you see if you if I'm in town! read more

Nicole is the best!!! I started going to her back in 2014 for Brazilians and then moved to facials too. My skin was a mess, I tried accutane, and all the expressive products out there, nothing seemed to work. She got me on a great skin care routine and now I go makeup free, which I have never been able to do before. Now in 2019 I can not imagine changing up my skin care products because my skin is so unbelievably clear! She is so outgoing and friendly, I truly enjoy my appointments with her! I have recommended her to my best friends and I only do that when I know they are the best. I highly recommend seeing Nicole, you wont regret it!! read more

Being a person with rosacea and sensitive skin, I was very impressed with my results. Nicole was very careful and understood my needs. My face has never felt so revived and smooth. I have had many facials and this was the best my skin has felt afterwords. Thanks Nicole! read more

Nicole is just the best. She makes you feel so comfortable, is knowledgeable about the process, and very friendly. I followed her from her old location because I trust her with my skincare needs. read more

Nicole is one in a million. Not only is she professional and knows her trade well, she is a joy to work with. I recently had a facial to prepare for my son's wedding and my skin has never looked or felt so good. Amazing!!!! I highly recommend her for any skin related services one may need. I go regularly for waxing, but the facials are my treat to myself. read more

This is my second time here and all I can say is Nicole has a gift. Not sure how she does it but waxing does not hurt when she waxes. She is kind, thoughtful and has the best energy. Never thought I'd find someone after moving here from the west coast. Feel so lucky I found her. read more
