I showed him the design I wanted, but the finished result looked nothing like the picture I provided. To make matters worse, I was charged $90 for the set. Within two days, my nails were already chipping and developing black spots. After I returned from out of town, my fiancé went back to request a refund because of the poor quality of the work. Instead of addressing the issue professionally, the salon refused to provide a refund and ended up calling the police. I paid good money expecting quality service and professional customer care, but unfortunately, I received neither. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this salon to anyone looking for quality nail services.

People were pleasant but it was very rushed. Not the neatest work as a result. Expensive for the…read morequality of service.

Skeptical at first since everyone is different and each esthetican uses different products but next day when I get up is always the revealing moment. I have enlarged pores and dirt loves them. Machines tend to not do the job but Lynsie is so far the only person in the peninsula that I have found who's not afraid to tackle them. Dark eye circles and sunspots are certainly regulars on my face. In the past, I would laser to tighten/minimize the pores and decrease the dark spots. Lynsie has really sold me and made me see new light on not needing laser. She asses the skin each time to make sure the treatment we had previous time is working and walk through how the skin feels days after then determine if we should continue same treatment. On the clock every 3 to 4 weeks, I am back for a facial and am hooked ! You truly won't be disappointed!

I've been going to Waxing By The Sea for about three or four months now I posted here after my very first visit on how wonderful she was how good she treated me. For some reason yelp removed my post while I'm telling you she is great. I am a man in my 60s and it's hard enough to try to find somebody that will wax a male, but Arlene made me feel very comfortable right from the beginning. We have some great conversations and she did my very first Brazilian wax ever and I have to tell you most of you know it's not easy having that done in front of somebody. you don't really know you become good friends very quick ha ha anyway, if there's any guys out there and have any worries about getting waxed go see her she'll make you feel comfortable and she does a great job by the way read more

10/10 service ! I traveled an hour and a half to visit Airline for my first time Brazilian! I was doing a bit of scrolling on instagram and the second I clicked on her page I felt at ease and comfortable. As soon as I walked in for my appointment, I felt nothing but good energy and vibes. She was super respectful and made me feel comfortable throughout it all. She walked me through every step within the process and provided me stress balls in which helped me remain calm. The results left me speechless. Her explaining on the aftercare was straight forward and didn't leave me clueless. Lastly her first timer bags were the cutest and funniest thing ever ! Super glad I went to her and definitely recommend. You won't be disappointed read more

I've been going to my wax artist for a while now, and I honestly wouldn't trust anyone else. She's incredibly professional, detail-oriented, and makes the whole experience as comfortable as possible. Her technique is gentle but effective, and she always takes the time to make sure everything is perfect. On top of that, she's just a genuinely kind and welcoming person, which makes such a difference during appointments like this. Her space is always clean, relaxing, and well-maintained, and you can tell she really cares about her clients. If you're looking for someone who knows what they're doing and makes you feel at ease, I highly recommend her. You won't be disappointed! read more

I was really nervous about getting my first ever Brazilian and I came across Airline's instagram page and I slowly built up confidence to book an appointment with her because of how informative she is not only on social media, but also when I went in for my Brazilian she talked me through the whole process. Airline made me feel very comfortable despite the fact that it was my first time getting a Brazilian I felt like it was not my first rodeo lol. The environment in her studio makes you feel very welcome and cozy as well. Over all my experience with Airline was amazing and I would definitely recommend going with her. read more

I always look forward to my appointments with Arline. I leave laughing and with a smile on my face even though getting waxed is not the most comfortable thing in the world. I would 100% recommend Arline for any of your waxes. She is very professional but also personable which is so comforting. She is sure to inform you about proper aftercare and answers any questions you have about waxes. She continues to learn more about new products to bring to the studio for her clients which I think is great. Overall she is fabulous you should definitely come and see her! read more
