If there are people waiting, she tends to rush through the appointment. When it's slow, she takes her time and the experience is much better. Since I've been coming regularly, I was hoping for a bit more consistency. This last visit, my eyebrows were done thinner than I wanted, which was disappointing because that's not the look I asked for. I also noticed there was still some hair left on me when I left, which made it feel a bit rushed not happy Again, she's very pleasant, but if there's a line, I wouldn't recommend going at that time because you may feel rushed. As a returning client, I'd really appreciate the same level of care and attention, regardless of how busy it is.

Tech recommended the most beautiful shade and was very happy with the result! The mani was another story. My nails are natural, and length is uneven. Which I am okay with. I don't do mani's very often but had a wedding. The tech asked if I wanted to keep length on my pinkies (longest length) and I said she cut trim some. Well, she cut down ALL my nails even below the length of the nail bed. Never in my life have my nails been trimmed so short. Like stubs. While a few of the nails were shorter, many of them had length. I didn't realize she had done this until she had finished the first hand, so at that point the damage was done. I didn't want to say anything to offend her at that point, but was upset about the situation. When she finished I told her that my nails were shorter than I wanted and that no other tech had ever cut my nails so short. And was there a reason she that? Her response was that she made her best judgment to cut them that way so they would grow out more evenly. That was not her choice to make. While she spent a lot of time shaping and cleaning my nails, I was very unhappy with the mani service, and don't want anyone else to experience what happened to me.

I've been seeing Julie for a few years now and she's always given the best-in-class service leaving me looking and feeling great. Aside from the high-quality job her prices are super competitive compared to big brand names and commercial enterprises who offer the same within the area and charge twice as much and take twice as long. That being said, it's a no-brainer to go with Julie as her skill is in a top-tier class all on its own. Aside from this, Julie is very personable, and it feels like interacting with a friend for a more humanized experience vs something transactional as just another customer/client. This adds a layer of personal touch thus she makes you feel understood with a more consultative approach to understanding human relations as much as she knows the technicalities of her services and skin care itself. Which is a great foundation of Face Value Beauty Bar being so successful. All in all, if you're reading this then without a doubt, I highly recommend Julie for your waxing and skin care needs. You'll love the outcome of the services you get, how you look, and how you feel! I 100% guarantee it!

Elle Salon is the type of establishment that makes me wish Yelp had 10 stars instead of 5…read more It amazes me that in 4 years I have not written a review for Elle (most likely because I am too busy staring at my gorgeous hair...) I'm not really sure where to begin because the entire experience is 5 stars from the minute you walk in the door, to the minute you leave...I guess I'll break it down this way.. Overall Staff- Every girl who works at Elle is adorable and so friendly. The best part about being a long term client is witnessing the girls who are just starting their careers progress to be rockstar stylists in such a short time. The mentorship, ongoing training and exemplary role models make you want to support this women owned business. Truly every stylist at Elle is so talented. Don't believe me? Peep their Instagram- totally droolworthy. The front desk staff is also so polite, professional, welcoming and complementary. Decor- No tacky art, loud paint or messy bowls/cords. Elle is simple, elegant, clean and modern. Jillian- My all time favorite stylist in the world and primary reason for this post. I walked in to my appointment with Jillian 4 years ago with bronze/black combo box dye hair and she was honest and forthcoming with me about my "hair journey". She promised I would eventually be blonde if I trusted her. She took all necessary steps to make sure I minimal breakage and was pleased with the results every time! Every time I leave the salon, she gives me EXACTLY what I ask for and I LOVE my hair.. As an added bonus, beyond her hair talents she is just all around awesome on all levels. Honorable mention- I have never had my makeup done by Amanda but I stalk the Elle Instagram stories to watch her makeup tutorials because she is a make up god! Someone needs to wife we up purely so she can do my makeup on my wedding day.. I highly, highly, highly recommend Elle for anyone who is looking for color correction, touch-ups or just badass droolworthy hair.

I put down a deposit that same day, and we scheduled the installation. When the time came, we spent most of the day together and she made me feel completely comfortable the entire time. She was super informative and took the time to walk me through maintenance routines that would actually work for me. My hair looks long and full, and the way the extensions are distributed, you can hardly feel a thing! I've used clip-ins for years, and if you're looking for a more permanent and less damaging solution, this is absolutely worth the change. I am so in love! I highly recommend going to Taylor if you're looking for quality hair extensions and a professional, thoughtful installation experience.

This was the worst service I've had since my early days at European Wax Center, and I actually left my appointment crying. I had booked my usual Brazilian + butt cheeks. Last week, I called to reschedule and learned--only because I called--that the waxer I've been seeing for the past year was no longer there. Management never informed me ahead of time, which I found unprofessional. When I rescheduled, I was told there were two other stylists available, so I agreed to book with anyone. When I arrived, I found out mid-appointment that my waxer had only started a week ago. She was very nice personality-wise, but the process was extremely messy--sugar in my hair, on my legs, all over the table, and on my clothes. She went over the same area 10-15 times, causing intense pain and burning. The service, which normally takes 20-30 minutes, dragged out to an hour and 15 minutes. I left sticky, covered in powder, and feeling awful. When I got home, I discovered I was bleeding, raw, and still had numerous hairs left. I immediately called and went back today for a "retouch" with Kristin. She was kind, professional, and quick--exactly how it should have been the first time. At checkout, I brought up the situation and requested a refund for yesterday's service. Unfortunately, the front desk employee was too new to process it, so I was told management would call me. As of now, I'm still waiting for that call. I used to love coming here, but all the skilled waxers seem to be gone, and management's lack of communication and follow-up is disappointing. For such a personal and vulnerable service, clients deserve to feel safe, respected, and cared for. Sadly, I can no longer recommend this location.

I…read morethought the shape came out just fine, she did not do a great job making sure to get all the little hairs. I had to go home and tweeze the rest of the little hairs that were missed, but it was much easier to do once the shape was cleaned up via threading. The main gripe I have with this place is that they really pressure you into buying their monthly membership. The monthly membership allows you to get your eyebrows threaded as many times as you'd like for a flat rate (which is just a few dollars more than a one time threading). I only get my eyebrows done once every few months so it wasn't worth it for me to join their monthly membership. Even after I said no, she kept insisting that I get it. I wasn't comfortable giving her my credit card because I was a little unsure if she was going to go ahead and sign me up for the monthly membership, so I paid cash. I thought Shapes brow bar was not bad for getting my eyebrows reshaped. I'd probably go back because they're conveniently located in the middle of the mall. I wouldn't recommend this place if you have a hard time saying no to someone that is trying to hard sell you something you don't need.

This is now called Reema Beauty and is located in Springhill Mall. I am giving an honest…read moreexperience based on purchasing the 10 eyebrow threading packages for $45, but you have 3 months to use them. When I was first offered the package, the lady said it would be unlimited but later I learned it was only 10 eyebrow threadings. Which is fine, you can go 3 times each month but it is not unlimited. Each time I went, I had a different lady do my eyebrows which with time my eyebrows became very thin. Each lady decided my eyebrows could use less and less hair. Which I didn't appreciate. It is hair and it will grow back but it is not polite to take off hair from eyebrows without asking if you want your shape changed. My one star is mainly because of the lack of quality that this place offers. I have been going to get my eyebrows threaded for about 10 years and I needed a place to go to in the area so I tried Reema but I was disappointed. Each appointment was less than 2 minutes. Of about the 6 different ladies that did my eyebrows, no one ever asked how I wanted them done or even took their time to make them look nice. There were always baby hairs left around the eyebrows, which should have been taken care of or even darker hairs around the actual eyebrow. Before going to Reema, I went to a place in the city for about 5 years to get my eyebrows done (had to change locations because of relocation) and she would always take about 15 to 20 minutes to thread and clean up my eyebrows. If Reema actually took the time to do nice eyebrows they might have more business. My recommendations to the business owner is take your time and do a good job. Hire ladies that actually want to be there and do a good job with threading. I will not be going back and be looking for another place to get my eyebrows threaded.
