Tallie is as pro as it gets. I've been a client for 5+ years, both for waxing and facials. Each appointment has been a professional and caring experience. Tallie knows her stuff when it comes products and to taking good care of skin, and individualizes her advice. I've never had an issue as a result of services. I feel comfortable each visit, and Tallie checks in during an appointment, making sure the wax temp is fine, etc. A major plus for me is she takes pride in her business, doesn't half fast anything, and the place is always wonderfully clean. Also, scheduling is easy peasy and Tallie is super responsive. read more

I contacted Tallie to make an appointment and she responded promptly and with a few options for availability. She was on time, setup and ready to go at the appointment time, some spas I've visited make you wait at your start time so they can setup but not here and I greatly appreciate the consideration of my time taken into account. The spa itself is very peaceful and clean with appropriate lighting and the room was well organized and also very clean. Tallie was very detailed in the service I requested, very well done and even checks her work just to ensure my satisfaction, will definitely return! read more

I am so glad that I found this place! My only regret is that I didn't find Tallie sooner. She is professional, knowledgeable, and friendly! I found her business on Yelp while I was searching for a new bikini wax place. My former esthetician moved away. I contacted Tallie using her websites email address and not only did she respond to my questions, she actually took the time to call me and left a voicemail to call her back to book an appointment. That felt so personalized and showed me that she must care about her clients. I've had two sessions with her so far and I am very happy with the results. read more

Tallie is amazing. I had my first facial with Tallie at Urban Escape last week and it was a relaxing, informative, and comfortable experience. My skin looks and feels great! I felt very comfortable when I came into to the cute office. Tallie is professional, kind and smart. I had a consultation, customized facial, and a foot wrap. I didn't want to get up. I felt so relaxed after the session. I cant wait till my next appointment. The foot wrap felt amazing. I can't wait to try other services. It would take me all day to describe the amazing features of my visit. Go see for yourself. Treat yourself. read more

Urban Skin Works - I love these candies so much. - Skin Care Near Me - Long Beach, California

Tallie is so very knowledgeable, caring and devoted to doing what's best for any skin problem each client presents. I've been going to her for years and after a treatment or use of her products my skin gets better! Her office is charming, welcoming, tasteful and relaxing. Everyone should go to Urban Skin Works for better skin and in my case, more improvement than a dermatologist can provide. read more

Tallie is an angel that has fallen from heaven and is here to bring life to your face. She is ready to take on your facial like her life depended on it. My skin needed some help. I knew that my dry peeling skin was screaming for help, SOS, waving for attention...I quickly turned to the wonderful world of yelp and found my face's new best friend, Tallie. To be frank, it was a very impulsive decision to get a facial and looked for the nearest place from my home that had available appointments. That wasn't my only criteria...I only do 4 yelp stars or more. Sorry Yelp snob here...sorry..its who I am. By the way, it helped that Tallie's pretty flawless face appears on her yelp business page (I can say this without being creepy because I am gay :)) The place sits within this quaint office space community. I had my appointment with Tallie on a Saturday when foot traffic was at its lowest. Parking was easy, but could tell that it could get ugly if you came during normal office hours. Tallie greeted me at the door (She actually called me the day before to confirm and to ask a little about the treatment that I was looking for) She is well educated and trained in her field and asked that I bring my face cleansing/moisturizing products that I use for my skin care regimen for my first appointment. Tallie sat with me and walked me through what face care product ingredients I should stay away from and advised on what products I should stop using. She was quite informative The treatment itself was quite relaxing. She knows what she is doing and is quite friendly and easy to talk to. She ensures you are comfortable throughout the treatment and nourishes your skin like never before. My face was thanking me and Tallie for such a great treatment. Would I come back, Absolutely!!! Thank you Tallie! read more

Tallie is an amazing aesthetician. Super friendly. She did amazing arching my almost non existence eyebrow. I am so grateful I found her place. Will certainly come back for facial read more

I had a back facial done by Tallie and she was awesome! Super professional and knowledgeable - she educated me about all the products she was putting on me and about the whole process. I felt really relaxed the whole time. She also made sure to do a post-appointment check in to make sure my skin was doing fine. Would highly recommend her! read more

This was my first waxing experience and truly felt taken care of. Tallie walked me through every step before, during, and after. Very knowledgeable and personable! If you love waxing go here! read more

Tallie is great! Went in there for a back facial. First, she greeted me and we had a consultation on my issue, history of the issue, products I've used so far etc. That showed that she is taking her time to understand my concern and why I'm there. Then, when facial starts, she educated me on the severity of the acne and what I can do to prevent it. One thing I really appreciated from her is her honesty. She has her own products which are on the pricey side. As a layman, she could've told me that my acne is bad and I need to get X product from her to fix the issue. She is running a business. I would've done it because I am assuming she has the best knowledge. But, she was honest and said my condition is not bad at all and some over the counter products (which would be much cheaper than her products) will help solve my issue. That honesty will go a long way and I hope she continues to have good business! I also appreciated the fact that she texted me afterwards to check up on my skin. Thank you Tallie! read more

This was my first experience getting a facial and I could not have asked for a better esthetician than Tallie. Her consultation before getting started was very thorough and she really made sure to understand what I wanted out of the visit. I wanted to learn more about my skin and what I can do to keep improving it. She did a great job at incorporating teaching into the facial and I left a lot more confident about what I needed to do. For example, I was sure I had dry skin, turns out I have combo normal/oily skin but I'm just dehydrated. Who knew? The facial itself was wonderful. I've never felt so relaxed and pampered. The extraction portion was about as painless as I would think it could be. I'm a huge fan and she definitely deserves all the love she's getting on here. I will most certainly be coming for another visit in the near future. read more

Tallie is a gem! I had heard about this miracle worker and as my norm I checked out Yelp reviews first. When looking for a service, restaurant or almost anything, I like to read the reviews first. Well, my expectations were surpassed on my initial and subsequent visits to Urban Escape. Tallie makes you feel at ease as she gets to know you /your skin. I like the ambiance in her facial room, it's feminine but not over the top. It was warm ,welcoming, cozy and well quite comfortable. I really like the Dermalogica product line, Tallie's expert advice on the products was top notch. She explained the product differences from when I used Dermalogica previously and how the products have continued to improve. Another thing I like about Tallie is her interest in the local community. I could go on and on.... But the most important thing is the fact that I've recommended several of my friends and each one has been very pleased. Which makes me happy. Oh, the ability to look at her schedule online and book my appointments is awesome. Gone is the dreaded voicemail message - I am with a client... I'll call you back phone tag. The ease of making an appointment in real time is greatly appreciated. Time for another magical appointment with Tallie... read more

I really enjoyed my first visit to Urban Escape Body Works. Tallie is very personable and I felt comfortable meeting her. I liked that she took the time to get to know me and my skin. I can tell that she really enjoys what she does. My skin look great!!! read more

Go see Tallie! She's an amazing person, esthetician, and business owner! I see Tallie for eyebrow waxing and facials. Loved the results, she was amazing after I told her about my previous experience, which left me with missing skin and uneven brows. Her facial is so relaxing and my skin feels amazing. She's knowledgeable and makes you feel pampered from the minute you walk in the door. read more

An intimate spa experience just around the corner from home. Talia makes you feel like you're hanging out with a good friend for an hour while also making you feel pampered like a celebrity. My first facial experience was refreshing, relaxing and educational. Her studio smells amazing, as do her products. It's clean, sensual, and relaxing. She goes the extra mile for you. I also got my eyebrows waxed and she did more then clean them up. She took notes on what I wanted and successfully helped me achieve the look. Looking forward to more visits soon. read more

I have been seeing Tallie for about 5 years now. I started seeing her around my 7th or 8th month of pregnancy when I couldn't see my "nether" region anymore. I finally got to the point where I was like, "dude, I need a professional." I haven't gone back to shaving since. I had tried waxing with others before, but they were kinda weird, and not really worth the money, and I didn't feel very comfortable. But with Tallie, it's a whole 'nother experience. She makes you feel so at ease, and she is such a pro - I've never had an ingrown hair, or bumps or anything but perfection. And she's really affordable. She provides a great value. My eyebrows have never been shaped better either. When that whole threading thing was "in" I tried it, but those women always threaded them too thin and the hair grew back quickly. Tallie shapes them perfect and they stay like that for weeks! She also does a great job on my lip with virtually no pain. I love her. I would never go anywhere else. read more

Tallie really listens and spends time getting to know you and your skin. She is kind and easy to talk to and delicately works on your skin taking her time and not rushing you or the process. I'm so happy Yelp lead me to her and I will definitely keep coming to see her and her very cute shop. It's the best facial I have ever had! If you visit Tallie, you'll know that's not an exaggeration. read more

I have had many facials and by far Tallie has been the best. So good I booked one for my partner the same week. Tallie is very thorough and knowledgeable on the product she uses. Thank You, Laura Guerrero read more

Tallie was awesome! She explains how to take care of your skin. Love it and definitely coming back!

After reading all of the Yelp reviews I decided to make an appointment for a facial with Tallie. Let me tell y'all that these reviews did not lie. She was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. She answered all of my questions in regards to my skin and even called me a couple days after my appointment to check in with me. You can tell she loves her profession and cares about her clients. read more

This review is long overdue. Let me start out by saying that Tallie is out of this world. She has a wide knowledge base on skin care and enjoys educating her clients. The products that she uses are high-quality and are very aromatic. Her touch is very relaxing. Not only is she very knowledgeable, but she is very clean. I noticed that she washed her hands a few times in between procedures. I am very big on handwashing. This is truly a gem and properly named as Urban Escape. I will definitely be back and this place is highly recommended. Tallie is a true joy and really knows what she's doing. Try her out, you will not be disappointed. read more

Tallie is an amazing esthetician! Very knowledgeable and really cares about her clients! Makes you feel super comfortable and educates you on skin regimen! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a facial to make Tallie your number 1 choice! read more

Talja fantastic Aestitician who always does a great job. I have never ever had a problem with her and she always does a great job and is so knowledgeable. read more

I first met Tali at a spa party at a friend's house. Even though my skin looked the best it ever had after using the suggested products I was too busy to drive to her location for a real facial. Fast forward 9 months and my skin is looking tragic due to stress and not caring for it. I made an appointment and she fixed me right up. I'm now on a daily/nightly routine that is keeping my skin looking awesome, regardless of stress. That's no easy feat. Being 45, owning a crazy business and having a few kids can take a real toll on you. Her place is adorable, clean and well stocked with product! I will continue to take the time out of my hectic schedule to have her care for my skin. Love her! read more

Best facial and customer service. My daughter and I both have received facial services from Tallie. She's wonderful. She is very caring and makes a point to educate you on effective skin care. She welcomed me with open arms and was able to also educate my teenager on how to best care for our skin. She is also patient. My daughter has language, and auditory processing challenges. My daughter and I both love the experience and plan on being regulars here. read more

So glad that I discovered this place on Yelp! Tallie, the owner/esthetician was warm, spirited and most importantly, knowledgeable. This quaint salon is in the heart of Bixby and I had a wonderful experience. Tallie respected my inquiries (as I was transitioning from a long time salon in LA) on skin and health. I'm definitely pleased to patronage local business! Give her a try! read more

This review is long overdue. I've been coming here for a few months now, I have to say that this is the cleanest establishment that I've encountered by far. I love the atmosphere, very welcoming.

I also love that the locations is within walking distance from my house. read more

WOW...what an incredible spa...the service is exquisite, as well as the aesthetician! I've known Tallie for several years and she is remarkable! I'm never unhappy with her service and always impressed her knowledge of all the products!! Tallie is so thorough with her facials, waxing and brow/eyebrow tinting. The spa is elegant and sophisticated! Not to mention immaculately clean! I've noted once I'm there I want everything she has to offer. A little bit of heaven at the spa!! Also, don't miss out on her monthly specials... as they are great! She provides wonderful services at reasonable prices!! Check it out - you won't be disappointed!! You'll become a regular... you will be spoiled!!! read more

Tallie was very welcoming and thorough with every step of my service. This was my first but def not my last visit. I highly recommend you booking your next massage, facial etc read more
