Her shop is in an unexpected location, but this means there's no noisy foot traffic, cars honking, or people talking loudly during your facial. Nice and quiet! If you are looking for an excellent facial administered at a reasonable price, you need to make an appointment with Karen. MINI UPDATE: Karen phoned me three days after my facial to check in and make sure everything was okay with my skin. She also sent me a 'thank you' postcard with a 15% off offer for products. Great customer service!

I have been a fan of Dermalogica products since Karen introduced me to them years ago. As my skin has changed over the years, Dermalogica's comprehensive line of products and Karen's expertise have kept my skin healthy and radiant. Gentle, thorough brow and lip waxing are great for my somewhat sensitive skin. Her technique partnered with the serene atmosphere of the facility makes for an amazing, relaxing experience for the mind as well as the skin.

My brows are crazy and wild and I've never found anyone who can tame them quite like her. Her facials are detailed, relaxing, and effective. Many estheticians don't know what they're doing during facials. That's not the case here. Like I said I have been going to Shohreh for almost five years and I consider her not only an expert. but a friend. Thanks for the many years of great service! btw this is not the same Shohreh in other yelp reviews...I don't know who the other person is with all these bad reviews. Shohreh has only been professional and kind to me over the years.

Was excited to try the facials here because of all the 5 star reviews, but sadly, my experience was…read morea disappointment. Even before going in, I had a gripe with the website lacking in information and prices - why not just make it easy on your customer and just include that info online?? For those wondering, we paid: - $85 for a facial with enzyme peel and extractions (Twinkle Twinkle) - $85 for European facial (Above the Stars). Was supposed to come with massaging for $110 but she forgot so we got a discount. When we got there, we were invited to a very warm and cozy space, but there was a misunderstanding on the services. I had asked for back to back or simultaneous facials (if possible) for myself and my husband. Sarah said that she could do simultaneous facials, so I took that to mean that there would be two rooms and estheticians on site and we would each have our separate treatments at the same time. But no... instead, it was just her when we got there and she led us both to the same room and said that one could sit in a chair while the other was getting their facial done. This was a bit odd to me, but I went with it... she performed an enzyme peel on my face and then put a mask on, and then my husband and I switched spots. While my husband was getting his first 20-30 minutes of treatment, I sat on a chair uncomfortably scrolling through my phone... not exactly a spa experience. And then we switched back and we each got another 10-15 minutes. It felt very unprofessional, especially at the price you are paying. In total, we were there for 1.5 hours. How exactly does that timing add up when we are paying full price for two services, I don't know. Another gripe - there was a lot of time during the facial spent on preparing and opening things while things "sat" on our faces. That is a huge pet peeve for me when getting facials because I am paying for a full hour of service, so that's what I should get. If there is a mask on my face, you can still be massaging my scalp/neck/hands at the same time. If I wanted to lay down with a mask on, I could have done that at home. Now down to the actual quality of facial treatments - meh. A week later, my face is STILL peeling like a lizard from the enzyme peel. That would be ok except that she had not mentioned the possibility of that happening at all. A few days after, my husband's face looked pretty splotchy, and he is blessed with pretty normal and clear skin to begin with. Luckily, we didn't get these facials before a big event like a wedding or something. And also - none of the products she used even smelled good and the towels were pretty rough. The towels smelled faintly like cigarette smoke to me... ick. Little things, but again, I'm paying for an experience when I get a facial and this wasn't it. Maybe she was having an off day, i don't know. But for us, we won't be coming back and will instead be driving the 1+ hour to Maryland to go the esthetician I know and love.

I have somewhat combination skin, with breakouts along my cheek and small bumps in the summer. She recommended a microdermabrasion and mask.

My skin felt a lot better and I think it really helped! Also, there is some original art that is available for sale in front and it is absolutely delightful! :) I will remember to return the next time I am in the area, for sure!

I was already planning on writing a review due to the quick and painless experience, but then I received the cutest "thank you"'card from Megan and I had to share!

Waxing is my least favorite thing in the world and yet Megan actually managed to have me in and out in less than 15 mins and 3 weeks later I still have very minimal hair growth AND not one ingrown hair. I took her advice and purchased some tend skin serum and it has been a life saver. So happy I found her on the first try!

I have been seeing Shawn for 5 years now and I honestly couldn't think of going anyplace else to get a vag shape-up. I provided screenshots of my initial review of Shawn from the first year I started going to her. After a 2yr long wait, I can confidently say that NOTHING in that review has changed except for her using a hard wax (it's my fav now), the place she waxes, and her being her own boss. Outside of those things, my girl has still be on her game and I braved through the quarantine lockdown just to see my favorite "Barber of Vag" again (that's real love if you didn't know). Now while I want all women who are on the lookout for a bomb esthetician to find comfort in knowing that Shawn is definitely the right esthy for you... I specifically like to give info for my fellow black women/people, WOC/POC. LOOK NO FURTHER LADIES!! I know how daunting it is to seek out services that have people like us in mind as well. I hear you, I see you, and I am with you. Some background about myself: I am a 25yr old light skin black woman with really course,curly, and dark body and facial hair. If you were able to check out my review in the screenshots provided, you will know that I consider myself to posses a "wolf-gene" (lol) see how much appreciation and love I have for Shawn for taking care of me and helping me to regain my confidence and get my hair under control. I have suffered from excessive and fast hair growth since 6th grade and my self confidence and skin took a hit from it. A skillful barber specializing in the mons pubis, Shawn is also a bomb a** lash tech as well. It's been a year since I started getting my lashes done by her and I'm not sure if I can go back to not having them. While everyone's experience will be different based on a variety of factors (how strong your natural lashes are, if you wear makeup consistently, how will you take care of them, etc) I personally have great retention from her lash work and nobody can really tell that they aren't mine. Shawn makes sure that her clients have at least a basic knowledge on aftercare and general health of the areas she is providing service to as well. All-in-all, if you are looking for a new esthy for your next vag shape-up, or want to try out some lashes to kick off your "Hot Girl Fall", look no further! It's important for you to feel like you can build a good working relationship with your service providers. Your esthetician is no different and you definitely won't have a problem building that with Shawn. She has such a beautiful spirit and excellent professionalism that I know you won't have any complaints. So what are you waiting for?! Book with Shawn Marie Beauty and tell her Najah sent you!
