Update: I received a phone call from the owner who had just heard about my issue. He was…read moreincredibly nice, apologized for the issues addressed below and offered to rectify the situation. HE was the reason that I am amending my review, and I'm sorry that his business may be negatively affected by the manager representing his company. I have been happy with my waxes, so I will return. As it turns out, covid staffing issues mixed with a generic nationwide ad created an issue with getting answers, which is all I wanted. I always feel that while mistakes are made, it's how they are handled that show a businesses true colors. I bought a couple of wax passes for my daughter and I. I had an ad in hand that stated a price, and then was charge $90 more. I noticed before leaving, and the receptionist said that the ads aren't always up to date. I made 12 phone calls over more than a month, was given the run around until I was finally told that they wouldn't honor the advertised price. Beware of the sneaky charges at this place! I realize that I should have noticed immediately, but they were running almost an hour behind on our appointment and I was on the phone rescheduling an appointment that I was about to be late to when the finally got around to ringing it up and letting me sign. $90 is a huge discrepancy!

I wanted to get my brows microbladed, but I was nervous. I researched and consulted with 3 places…read more Blue Door is professional, clean and follows all COVID protocols. In addition, Sepi at Blue Door was the only practitioner who spent time consulting with me, talking through what I wanted as far as design, color etc. She also gave me a lot of information to read before I booked an actual appointment. The day of the appointment, Sepi took as much time as needed to design my brows and settle on a color. She was thorough and precise and was not going to start the process until I was set on the design. The process itself was easy - my brows were numbed and Sepi got to work. It was easy and painless. Sepi also explained the process and what to expect before she started. Sepi did a great job preparing me for the healing process, which can be challenging. Sepi gave clear instructions along with the common FAQs. While healing, your brows will be darker than you are used to; there will also be itching and you'll be tempted to "help" your brows shed - don't do it!! These photos are after my touch up appointment. I am thrilled with my brows and plan to continue to see Sepi for touch ups as needed.

Booking online was super easy; the building is on one of the main streets in downtown Renton. Be sure to have enough time to find street parking nearby and the building is locked so be sure to use the building code box to get access. The studio is so cute, well decorated and well maintained. Karli is wonderful! She's personable, has humor that I can vibe with, & skilled in her work. I noticed a few people mentioned pain and wanted to mention that may vary based on your pain tolerance and the esthetician's experience or ability. Karli is great and I barely experienced anything yet which is also i prefer sugaring over typical waxing :) What I thought was a unique perk as a first time customer was that she offers a free touch-up within a week of being seen (to support minimal growth apparently!). There's also a rewards system every time you come in.

I have been going to Christine for almost a whole year now and I'm still very satisfied with her…read morework! Lashes: I am addicted! Christine makes my lashes flawless! I always get the volume lashes (which is 3 lashes put on an individual real lash). She makes my lashes look full and long without looking fake. I always get compliments on my lashes and most people don't even know it's extensions. My lashes look great in pictures. My eyes never get irritated from it. The lashes look like real lashes and they curl up nicely so you don't need to curl it. My lashes still look good a month after (if you take good care of them). Booking the first appointment: I believe her site says to call. She is very busy so you'll prob always reach her voicemail. I left her a voicemail with all of my information on how I wanted to book an appointment, when I was free, which lashes I wanted, etc. She responded in a timely manner and sent me all of the information I needed to prepare for my first appointment. The consultation: She was very informative. Told me about the aftercare. Asked what I wanted my lashes to look like; first time, I got round eyes but now I do cat eyes (longer lashes on the outer part of my eyes). She has many different lash lengths to choose from and helps you choose the best length. Getting the lashes on: Does not hurt at all! You get to lay on a comfortable little bed for 1-2hours with calm music in the background. She always offers to tuck you under a blanket. Sometimes Christine chats with me, not in a way like she's just trying to get tip, she isn't overly chatty. She's super sweet. During my lash appointments, I always fall asleep and when I wake up, my lashes are beautiful! First, she puts tape on your bottom lashes. Then she applies the lashes. She always checks and rechecks to make sure she's not missing any lashes. When she's done, she fans it (to get rid of any glue fumes, so your eyes won't burn when you open them), sprays what feels like a setting spray and makes sure no lashes are stuck to your bottom lash. Then you can open your eyes to look at your lashes. Booking refill appointments: After getting them done for the first time (in 2015), she was very informative on when refills should be done or how I can just let them fall off or book an appointment to take them off. She recommends getting refills every 3-4 weeks. She never pressured me into booking a refill appointment. I always book my refills in advance because she gets booked up quick. She's always very helpful with booking; I am a full-time student so each qtr my schedule changes, I tell her what days and times I can do and she looks in her calendar and tells me all of my options. I can always set-up appointments with her via text too. The week of the refill appointment, she sends a reminder text. Getting refills: She always remembers what I like (size and shape) so I never have to remind her. I go a few minutes early and most times she takes me in early and we get started right off the bat. Tips: -ALWAYS book at least a month (if not more) in advance to get an appointment time that works for you. -Always come on time or earlier! If you come late, you're just losing out on precious minutes that could've been used to put on my lash extensions! And she has a policy that if you come a certain of minutes late, you lose out on that appointment. -if you absolutely need to cancel/reschedule, give LOTS of notice because that's just rude. I always recommend Christine to anyone looking to get their lashes done because I always walk out satisfied. People think it costs a lot but it's worth it. I've seen people pay less for lashes elsewhere and they were not happy with their lashes. Get your lashes done by Christine and you'll never want to quit!

I've been going to Christine for over a year now for sugaring and facials, it's an appointment that…read moreI always look forward to. From seamless appointment booking through text all the way to the service, I can't recommend Lady Lam enough. Christine is very talented at her craft, she thoroughly explains the process of her services and products and you can tell she puts extreme care in the work she does. In the past I tried a few salons to get my Brazilian wax but none of them felt comfortable. My first experience at Lady Lam was so comfortable, Christine made sure I was well situated, was gentle and also distracted me with her wonderful presence. She is a wonderful listener and her studio space is well appointed. I also have for a couple facials with her and they were so relaxing! The prices for all of her services are very reasonable for the service that lasts for a long while. You will need to book with her well in advance (month + recommended) because she is in high demand. I'm going to continue to go to her for sugaring and facials until who knows when. Highly recommend booking an appointment with her!

Their instagram is theglamspace.official for reference. She also has many talented lash artists alongside her as well that does great work. So if she isn't available to your needs, know that the other estheticians there will also be able to meet your needs!! Such a convenient location near me for lashes. Thank you always Gim!

I have been a client of Gim's for 3+ years now and she exceeds my expectations every single time…read more Not only is she talented, but I love that she is so accommodating. As a mom who works full time, it's hard to get in those self care appointments on days off while having to care for a child. Gim is more than okay with me bringing my daughter to my appointments, which I appreciate more than she knows. She has her own little chair set up next to me with her iPad/snack desk and occasionally walks around saying hi to other lash artists. And as soon as my appointment is over she knows it's sticker time. Gim knows my daughter loves stickers, and now she keeps some on hand in the salon just for her. The team at The Glam Space is not only good at what they do, but also very thoughtful in every aspect. I honestly wouldn't trust anyone else with my lashes!

I don't have super high expectations, but I DO expect to NOT have to go home and finish the job for you. That happened here. I shouldn't have to pluck hairs from my eyebrows & lip immediately following my appointment. I tried this place three times, w/different techs, and this occurred all three times. During one of my appointments they took WAY too much off one side which was shocking.....and embarrassing. That was my *last* appointment with them. **NOTE: I have reviewed the businesses response to my post and it's incorrect. My skin does redden easily (I'm a redhead) but it doesn't exempt it from hair removal. Plus - if skin sensitivity was an issue, wouldn't / shouldn't their tech have said something to me since they're sending me home w/hairs still visible? Wouldn't my facialist have said something by now (she hasn't). I've been seeing her every two weeks for 10 years. And I've had my brows waxed for 30+ years. It IS possible to do it correctly.......
