My aesthetician was Ciara. I had my eyebrows, lips, under arms and Brazilian done. At soon as I walked in, I can smell weed on her, especially as her hands were close to my face, and I smelled it on her breathing on me. But that's not the worst. It felt like I was the first customer because the wax was really hot. I had mentioned it to her several times that it was hot and she even told me that she noticed it so when she did my eyebrows but she continued to do my eyebrows and upper lips. She even put more wax on top even after she said that she notice it. I did keep on letting her know that it was still too hot. She asked if this was the first time I've had wax done, and I told her - no. I've been getting waxed for the last 25 years. When I got to my car to check my face, I had large noticeable burnt spots under my eyebrows, both left and right and over my upper lip, both left and right. I went back to the store to show the manager, Francesca Moreira, to complain about the burn spots from Ciara. The manager told me that it looks a little red; and when I told her to look closer and that Ciara actually burnt skin off, she told me that she was not certified to say so or not. It does not take a genius to see that skin was taken from the hot wax. There's a huge difference. I'm not sure how she is the manager of a team of aestheticians, and not certified just to see that Ciara, or other aestheticians, actually took skin off when Ciara waxed my eyebrows and upper lip. I had to ask to talk to the Regional Manager, Tony Badolato, but she only offered to provide me an email. I had to call back several times because she provided two incorrect emails where it was undeliverable because it didn't exist. Finally, the front desk provided me with the correct one. It took 3x times to get a hold of the regional manager. I had to go to work with burnt scabs on my face. I cried upset over the whole experience. Bottom line, I will not be coming back to any European Wax location. This experience destroyed any expectation I might have with any other aesthetician they might have on staff or the managers they hire who don't have training or is certified in the service they provide. If I could give ZERO stars, I would. I did get reimbursed but not until after I was asked to provide pictures for proof by the Regional Manager. It was a horrific experience. Never again.

And that $15 you pay for the membership, better do it in January only because it's not for a year from when you started, it's due every January. So my membership that started in September still has to be renewed in January for another $15. I am not renewing just to find out all the other ways they plan on screwing me over. The worst is the managers/owners are completely absentee and make the waxers do double duty at the front desk and take on the brunt of frustrated customers. Must be nice to sit in your palace funded by bad business practices and the labor of others. Speaking of the waxers, Christina is absolutely amazing and the best waxer I've ever had.

I scheduled my appointment online and snagged a last minute appointment for a Saturday morning with Madi. I arrived about 15 minutes early for my appointment and she was able to take me right away. I paid for my services prior, which I appreciate. Nothing like a bottle neck at the front desk, with all your patrons trying to pay at the same time. The decor in the Beauty Lab is beautiful. If it very minimalistic, homey and comfortable. Most importantly, it is very clean! In fact, the kind gentlemen at the front desk was cleaning when I arrived. Cleanliness is definitely very important for a waxing business, so I appreciated that! The wax room was very spacious and clean. Madi was an absolute sweetheart. She was very professional and the wax experience was amazing! She had me in and out in no time, which I definitely appreciated on this specific Saturday, because it was snowing and I wanted to get off the roads ASAP. Amazing business, amazing staff, amazing experience! You should really patronize this business. I assure you, you will not be disappointed!

I FINALLY FOUND IT FOLKS!!!…read more I've been going to Refresh Nail Spa since winter 2023, after searching for salons that offer drill-free manicures and focus on natural nail care like IBX treatments. I ended up finding Bernadette, an independent nail tech who works there--and she's been an absolute gem. While she does use a drill (contrary to what I originally searched for), she's incredibly skilled, gentle, and precise--so much so that it never damages my nails. Her technique is both efficient and mindful, striking the perfect balance between machine and hand filing. Initially, I was getting regular gel manicures, but Bernadette truly cares about nail health, and she suggested switching to builder gel (BIAB). It was a game-changer. Builder gel doesn't require soaking off and allows for continuous fills--meaning you can build on top of your last set without compromising nail integrity. Since switching, my nails have grown so long, strong, and healthy, and a single BIAB manicure can last me up to 6 weeks! Beyond nails, Bernadette is a wonderful person--easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and deeply caring. She also specializes in pedicures for clients with diabetes or other health conditions, which speaks volumes about her expertise and sensitivity to clients' unique needs. If you're looking for a thoughtful, health-conscious nail experience, I highly recommend Refresh Nail Spa and Bernadette in particular. My monthly visits have become something I genuinely look forward to.

In the past, they were upfront about costs and transparent with their clients. Unfortunately, that seems to have changed. Today, I had an 11:00 AM appointment for a hair color--my first time getting color in years. I received a color treatment, wash, blowout, and trim. To my surprise, the total came to $290. I have never paid that much for getting my hair done. What's more frustrating is that the only visible pricing was for blowouts, listed as starting at $65. When I asked for a detailed receipt to understand the breakdown, I was told one would be provided--but I never received it. This experience was incredibly disappointing. I genuinely liked this salon in the past, but it now feels like they're taking advantage of loyal clients. I also noticed that they no longer list service prices on their website, which raises questions about transparency. My advice: If you choose to go here, ask for a full breakdown of costs before your appointment and confirm the price of each service in advance. Don't make the mistake I did.

I've been going to VIP Nail Spa in Columbia, for over five years now, and I can honestly say it's the best in the area. Tracey is my nail tech and she is absolutely amazing. She shapes my nails to perfection every single time--her almond shapes are flawless, and her designs are always stunning. I constantly get compliments on my nails thanks to her talent and attention to detail. The atmosphere in the salon is always so pleasant and relaxing. Everyone who works there is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely cares about making your visit enjoyable. I also love that they offer refreshments during your appointment--it's such a thoughtful touch that makes the experience feel extra special.

She won me over with her extremely gentle and relaxing pedicures and her meticulousness and attention to detail with my SNS manicures. She is a total perfectionist. I've gotten solid colors, french, and ombré nails with her and they are always perfect. She spends extra time massaging my legs and feet. I just adore her. The salon itself is very clean, spacious, updated, and beautiful! I find it very convenient that I can book my appointments online. My only complaint (and I don't believe this has anything to do with Ann) is that she is often running really behind for my appointments. I wonder if the business should extend their service times so the technicians are not over-booked and constantly running behind. I am a hair stylist so I get it- every once in a while. But when it's 9 times out of 10, running 30+ minutes late for pre-booked appointments- something needs to change. I even called today to see if she was running on time or behind. I was told she was running 5-10 minutes behind, so I took my time getting there. My service did not actually begin until about 40 min after my appointment time. Summary: Book with Ann for a phenomenal experience. Be prepared to not be seen at your appointment time.
