I wanted to like this spot so bad but it was very underwhelming and the service for the application…read morewas terrible. I went for what I thought would be a simple root touch up. I did tell them I got my hair done overseas and didn't. know the color. They didn't inform me that my hair was too dark and it would not show on my roots. For the application, the stylist got color spots all over my face. It was probably one of the messiest applications I've ever experienced. Then, when I asked to be re-seen to get my hair done since it looked like nothing had been done to my roots, they tried to convince me that I NEEDED bleach to lighten my hair (which would've cost me additional hundreds of dollars). Mind you, I have a dark brown hair color. Some time has passed and I've consulted multiple hair stylists and they all confirmed I DO NOT need bleach to get my roots the same color. When I complained to the owner, she said I needed to wait for the sun to lighten my hair?? Which is completely absurd. 2 months later and to no shock, my roots aren't lighter. I unfortunately would not recommend or be returning.

This was my first time here, and Natalie is AMAZING! She was delightful to talk to, super body positive, efficient, and skilled. It had been over 4 months since my last wax, so I was expecting lots of pain and lots of time, but Natalie made the whole experience really great, and as painless as it could have been. She checked in with me throughout to make sure I had breaks and could move my body around when I needed to. If you're looking for an efficient, clean, and friendly, Brazilian wax place I cannot recommend Natalie enough. Her studio is small and just opened in January, but Natalie herself has been in the business for awhile. Plus the neighborhood has great parking and great coffee and food! read more

The salon also offers other services, so I would definitely inquire about those. Man-zilians are also offered by Bella.

It's worth checking out, and there is delicious food nearby, like China House and the cookie parlor. It's a very cute cat-themed shop with comfortable places to sit and books to read while you await your appointment. I do suggest people come check this place out and even try to spot some of the cat figures and statues and see how many you can find.

This rating is specifically for her customer service and booking system. I hate to have to do this…read morebut unfortunately my experience with attempting to book has been horrendous. First of all, a 50% deposit is required in order to book the appointment. I had no problem with that but didn't realize until after that I had chosen the wrong date due to the date being so small in font. I received a confirmation that showed a date that was further out than I desired and wanted to cancel right away but there was no option to. I responded to the email, calendar invite, and sent a text all stating that I needed to cancel the appointment right away. At this point my appointment should have been cancelled and pending deposit charge should have been cancelled as well. It was not. Instead she responded argumentatively and told me that she would cancel but I had to wait (and so does my deposit) until the following week whenever she was back in salon. While the amount of those funds may seem trivial to some, to others they are not. For me this disconnection and the way it was handled is unprofessional and inconsiderate to the client. Doesn't really make me want to even give the service a chance.

I texted Ningma on Wednesday requesting an appointment on Thursday and she responded in minutes that she had an opening on Thursday at 12:05pm. When I arrived expecting to have my eyebrows waxed, Ningma informed me that threading would be best. I informed her that I've never had threading done before and was a little scared. She assured me that she will be as gentle as possible and not to worry. She was absolutely right. She was very gentle and I did not feel any discomfort during the threading. It was a lot better than waxing. She has very good hands and made the process so easy and pain free. I'll never wax my eyebrows ever again. Her studio is very clean and private.
