Got my eyebrows done (eyebrow lamination) and lashes done (lash lift). Such a poor job done on my…read moreeyebrows. I was burned all around my brows and the esthetician took off so much hair from my brows that all my effort to grow them out was thrown in the garbage. My eye lash lift was supposed to last 5-8 weeks and lasted at most 4 weeks. I went into the salon confident about how I looked and left feeling so embarrassed. My eyebrows were not at all even and it just didn't look nice at all. I waited to post this review in order to give my lashes a chance to at least make up for the more than $350 I spent at this location, but even my lashes didn't last the advertised time. I do not recommend this place unfortunately.

My experience at Nadine's started as a positive experience and ended as a bad memory. The…read moreattentive caring person I met and supported for so long grew changeable and unprofessional. The procedure prep, aftercare, practice constantly changed with each visit which concerned me. Nothing was consistent. After a long drive I wanted to try and relax and enjoy the experience. Nadine's attitude at times was Superior making me feel inferior or gushing over her latest romantic liaison. I was not personally friends with her. When I wished to book an appointment to get a follow-up that I would pay for, She refused to come to the phone, to talk to me about my concerns saying "that's what I pay Ashley for". When she did come to the phone she did not look for a solution to meet me in the middle she talked down to me making me feel very sad and unjustified. 1 star. Nadine how very sad you forgot who helped get you to where you are.

Also I received a short complimentary face massage! All of this for a very reasonable price. I will definitely go back for sure.

I am beyond happy with the services I receive at Victoria Aesthetics. Victoria is so knowledgeable…read moreabout her profession and takes so much time towards accommodating to what is best for your needs. I have an auto immune disease and she's been so helpful in my decision making for timing of when it would be best for me to get filler. She takes extra time to get an ultra sound of your face to ensure accuracy and safety when injecting. She follows up to make sure everything is comfortable and to make sure you are happy with the results. My before and afters speak for themselves and I love seeing the subtle differences that enhance my appearance. Lauren, who sits at the front desk, is always so helpful for scheduling needs. She really goes above and beyond to accommodate timing. She's so friendly and welcoming - just a ray of sunshine. She checks in via text and phone to see how you're feeling and how you're loving your results. I love going to the office to chat with Lauren before my appointment and see what snacks are available for that day. There's always healthy snack options whether you're looking for savory or sweet, and a cold beverage in the fridge. It's nice to get a refreshment when going to pamper yourself. The office itself is so beautiful with chandeliers, the nicest toilet seat ever (see for yourself) and kept extremely clean and cozy. Paris and Kimberly are also very skilled and knowledgeable injectors. Both are extremely friendly and make it goal to meet the clients needs. No matter what injector you go to, you'll be sure to leave happy. 10/10 thank you ladies!!

Victoria actually fixed my lips that I had done somewhere else. This most recent appointment, Victoria actually followed up via text to see how my Botox was settling in about a week after! I've never had a practitioner reach out to see how I like my results and I've been doing these procedures for the last 10 years! Oh, her prices are great also! I really can't say enough positive things about Victoria!

It was tough enough to find a new "botox girl" after relocating from San Francisco to Brooklyn but…read morethe real challenge was finding one after COVID-19 landed me working remotely in a farm house upstate. I was convinced I may have to live with my forehead as-is and began an impressive collection of hats. Enter Kelly. I actually came across their IG and almost wrote it off as too good to be true: experienced, multiple accolades AND up-to-date communication with clients through social channels (with a sense of humor to boot.) I had my first appointment with Kelly about a week ago and can confirm she and her team are as good as they seem. *Detailed consultation with personalized recommendations and thorough explanation of treatment plan: check *Demonstrated knowledge of injectables and facial muscle composition/patterns: check *COVID-19 precautions: check check check, inclusive of temperature reading prior to entering and contact tracing. HUGE plus. *Bedside manner: this isn't a must-have for me, I'm more of a 'ends justify the means' when it comes to injectables and prioritize competency over conversation but Kelly's personality was too good not to mention, plus a huge perk to anybody new to the scene who could use a little comfort! Highly personable, funny, professional and visibly skilled at her craft. *Results: We all know this is what you've read this far for. 10/10. I had even asked about a particular injection site and it's contribution to my desired results and learned something new. I achieved some of my favorite results with less units than with my previous provider. TL;DR So yeah - this is the spot.

PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE. UNLAWFULLY OPERATED…read more The practice is run by a Physician Assistant (PA), but New York State law clearly states that PAs must work under the supervision of a licensed physician. When I asked to speak with their Medical Director, I was told they didn't have one. (Article 131-B of the New York Education Law governs the practice of physician assistants in the state.) The injector GiGi performed unauthorized treatments, including injecting Botox into my gummy lines--something I never requested or approved. When I returned to address the poor results, the PA had to step in to sternly direct the injector to only use half an injection to fix the Spock brow I had been left with. Despite these efforts, the results were far from satisfactory. My appearance resembled what can only be described as a "serial killer" smile. (See below pictures) They also convinced me to choose a "lip flip" instead of lip fillers, claiming it would help "quiet my facial muscles" before injections. It's unclear whether the resulting smile was caused by the lip flip or the unauthorized gummy line injections, but the outcome has been devastating. Even three months later, my smile is still not back to normal, despite being told that the effects would wear off quickly. The dismissive attitude that mistakes don't matter because "Botox wears off" is unacceptable. If a procedure's effects last for months, the least they can do is get it right the first time. Another alarming issue is their lack of transparency. While consent and waiver forms are uploaded to the online portal, they fail to include any documentation of the injection sites. This omission feels deliberate, and it makes me question what they might be trying to hide. On a personal level, this experience ruined what should have been a joyful time. I had just returned from a 10-month military deployment and was looking forward to reuniting with my loved ones. I wanted to look refreshed and less stressed, but instead, I ended up feeling self-conscious and unattractive. I even asked my boyfriend to delay proposing because I didn't want to look this way in engagement photos. It's heartbreaking that such a special moment had to be put on hold because of their carelessness. The staff assured me that what happened to me was rare and that the effects would subside quickly. However, after extensive research, I found only one similar case online, which confirms that my experience is far from normal.

Abida was gentle, professional, detail-oriented, and really listened to what I wanted--a natural look with a cat eye--and she did an incredible job! My lashes turned out full, natural, and beautifully done. Arch Salon is definitely the best salon in Colonie and Upstate New York for lashes, brows, facials, and full-service hair extension services. I'm so impressed! I also highly recommend their HydraFacial, microblading/powder brows, and waxing! I'm so happy I found this place.. what a hidden gem! The salon was very clean, and I loved the ambience--calm and relaxing. You can tell they truly care about providing a great experience for their clients. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Arch Salon to anyone looking for the best lash services in the area!

Jess at Aranda Artistry is AMAZING. I'm so glad that she was able to do make up for my wedding!…read moreJess was incredibly professional and on top of things from the first time I contacted her; she was always quick to reply and very thorough. I did a trial with her, and she was so knowledgeable and fun to chat with. The make up also looked amazing, and she tweaked anything I wasn't sure about. She started doing airbrush application in between the trial and the wedding day, and she walked me through the pros and cons and helped me make a decision. On the wedding day, Jess did make up for me, 8 bridesmaids, and my future sister in law, and she finished on time or even a little early. She was willing to do my make up twice if I didn't love the airbrush, but it was everything she said it would be- light and perfect all day! She was so easygoing and calming while being incredibly efficient. She even left me brushes with extra lipstick so that I could re-apply after the ceremony and dinner. And of course, everyone's make up looked absolutely amazing. Jess absolutely nailed it. I felt so beautiful and natural, and my bridesmaids all looked it too. And Jess was such a pleasure to work with. If I ever need pro make up again, Jess will be my first call!
