Not only is Dolma a talented and skilled esthetician, she is an incredibly caring, kind, and gentle person. My eyebrows look better than ever - finally growing in after the early 2000's.

When I moved from Chicago to NYC in 2018, I was so nervous that I wouldn't be able to find anyone to do my threading and waxing the way my ladies back home had been doing for over 15 years. Surprisingly, I found this gem of a place, even though it's across town from me, and I haven't had to look elsewhere since! Himalayan has the best service, chillest vibe, and they are always on point! Sonya is my go-to lady and she's kind, funny, and efficient! I love that I can be in and out for a leg wax and threading in less than 30 mins! I'm pretty sure my commute takes longer than the services, but it's always worth the trek across town.

When I was about 12 or 13, I was standing in line to get a CD signed. Probably Korn or Green Day. Lame. Anyway, I was with a couple friends, and one of them suddenly squinted at my face and then laughed and pointed and said really loudly, "Oh my god, Hannah has a beard!" Somehow, puberty had snuck up on me in a place where I wasn't expecting. My chin. But this wasn't the peach fuzz most girls are used to, this was a small scattering of dark, thick single hairs. Totally visible from a distance. Because God decided to bless me with almost translucently pale skin and mega dark hair. So, that night, I started plucking those bastards and never looked back. Thanks for listening. Anyway, as the years went on, I noticed something: if I skipped plucking for a while, the hairs were coming back with a vengeance. No longer the small scattering, it would be a veritable patch of hair. Waxing would yield the same results: my lip would stay light and fuzzy, but my chin just wanted to channel it's inner billy goat. Yay. Sexy. My beloved waxer at Harmony Spa recommended I look into electrolysis. She rents out her space to Khatuna, owner of Oxy Bella. So let me be clear: These are two totally different businesses operating out of the same space. They don't even share the front desk. Khatuna is AMAZING. This is professionalism and knowledge at a level that you just don't find a lot these days. She did a free consult, where she looked at my chin and discussed my heritage, my hair growth patterns, and my current strategy for hair removal. Plucking, ladies? It's a BAD THING. Apparently it can stimulate the follicles and cause even more growth. Khatuna begged me to tell everyone I know that if you're plucking, you should stop. And that was the thing I liked most about her. She was super honest, and very interested in teaching, not just treating. After our sessions, she sat with me and we talked about my progress and what I could expect. The electrolysis itself? Well it didn't tickle, that's for sure. It kind of feels like a bee sting. The needle going in isn't that bad, but then it feels like it gets super hot for a split second, so it's like a little pinchy-burny sensation. She works on a timer, usually 15 minute sessions. And trust me, 15 minutes is about all I could handle. Price came to about $75. Cash or check only!!! I've done two sessions so far. After the first, I had a tiny bruise on my chin--the result of my paleness and anemia, probably. It faded after a couple days. Both times I had mega redness, but that faded within an hour or less. Best of all, my skin was so smooth and even and lovely! After a while, the hairs that weren't killed the first time came in, and I just had them taken care of. I did not touch my tweezers between treatments! I may need a couple more sessions, but then I should have a permanently hairless chin!!! I feel so much better about myself and I'm really glad I found Khatuna. I'm already thinking about going to her for more sessions (permanently hairless bikini, anyone?) Highly highly highly recommended. If you've ever considered electrolysis, I think Oxy Bella is the place to go. And if you're plucking your face, STOP!

She kept having this convo with me over and over again: "What is your ethnicity?" "Spanish." *disappointed* "oh, you don't look Spanish." "I mean, European Spanish." "Ooooh, the good kind!" *my obvious discomfort* "You know it's true." Gotta love some good old fashioned racism. 2. She would literally get mad at me and sort of yell at me whenever I was in pain during the sessions. She would get mad that I didn't show up an hour before my session so she could set a numbing cream. Because I have two hours of my life to dedicate to a single appointment, right?
