Ok, so this needs to be updated but i can't go above 5 stars. This new location is beyond amazing!…read more I originally came here after moving back from Chicago and then moving to Los Angeles (Beverly Hills). I fly home to Syracuse to see Ashley. I'm not kidding. I schedule my vacations around it. The thing is.. over those 8 years my life took some massive downs (some ups) - Ashley became one of the most true and honest people in my life. My cancer treatment started and I decided to cut my hair short - and she did that cut for me (free). My mom died and she reached out and said "come relax and get your hair done - you'll need it before the services" That's someone who truly cares (again didn't charge was just being a good person). She has become a trusted friend, and honestly my hair has never looked better. I cheated on her recently my (ex) doesn't understand how hair works and how it's a part of you (no fault he is almost bald). Ashley did my hair yesterday and we went for a pride theme! OMG. It's insane! This is magazine ready and I'm no supermodel! Marisa's is a creative space where all are included! I've met Marisa maybe 2x and she's a delight!

Before I found her on a whim during my sophmore year of college, I typically got my eyebrows waxed at various nail salons. Unfortunately, I have very sensitive skin and those experiences rarely ended well. Karin's room is cozy and eclectic, which mirrors her personality. During the appointment, she usually has good music playing in the background. She is meticulous and takes her time, which leads to great results. I wouldn't see anyone else for waxing services!

My first time getting professionally waxed couldn't have been a better experience coming here! Lani…read morewas my aesthetician and she was so awesome!! Lani was there to greet me and take me to her room the second I walked in and had music playing which really helped distract my nerves! I came in for a brazilian wax a bit nervous and unsure what to expect, both experience wise and pain level. Lani was so kind, calm, quick and reassuring that it didn't even hurt. I couldn't be happier with my results and would definitely come back in 4-6 weeks to keep up with my waxing. I was expecting to be screaming and crying in pain but it was about 2/10 pain level and no negative after effects, just smooth as ever!

It was my first time getting waxed, and Bethany was very communicative about what the experience and pain level would be like. She was very friendly and a pleasure to talk to.

This is the place to get your waxing done. The owner is a sweet lovely lady. The bathroom is clean…read moreand wet wipes are provided in case you need to freshen up. They use hard wax which is very important when it comes to getting waxed as it's not as painful. If you're new to waxing, your esthetician will walk you through the process and goes over how to care for your skin post-wax so don't be afraid to book an appointment here. This is one of the best waxing places I've been to (I've lived in CA and TX). They carry post wax care products to help minimize pesky in-growns. There is a student or military/first responder too! Plenty of parking space in the back and the studio is easy to find. Overall, a very well maintained studio.

I really wanted to give this place five stars after my mani and pedi. The atmosphere is great and…read morethe people who work here are really friendly. I also like all the natural products used during my treatment. However, within less than 24 hours, multiple nails have chipped, and I paid extra for the gel manicure to prevent this from happening! I'm disappointed because I got them done for graduation weekend. Usually a gel manicure lasts me at least a couple weeks! ***Update: I did receive a phone call from Exquisite saying they would be willing to fix my nails and were shocked to hear this had happened because it's the first time they've heard of this happening since they introduced the gel polish a month ago. I appreciate their call and willingness to make things right, but unfortunately I don't have time to go back in with family coming into town this afternoon. I would definitely go back here again, just an unfortunate experience and bad timing.

I called on the day and the lady is able to get me in within the next 2 hours unlike a lot of beauty salon where you ha be to book days ahead. This is great for my emergency waxing. It's a small beauty shop but cozy. I did an underarm waxing and the lady was very fast. It didn't hurt at all. In the end, there were a few tiny tiny hair that cannot be removed by wax, I suggested plugging them, but the lady did threading! Threading is a traditional hair removal technics in Asia and it's very traditional. Even in Asia where I am from, not many people know how to do it anymore. So I was very impressed by it. The lady really did a very good job. The environment is not fancy but the price is also very good!! Will definitely go back!
