I have dry skin that can get flaky in the winter as well as keratosis pilaris - my skin had never felt so smooth after using the soap that had a loofah embedded within it! I then purchased a lavender scented bar from the online store and was delighted by the scent when I opened the package. It positively filled the whole room with its soft perfume. Everything arrived with a very personal touch and I appreciated the hand-written note. Wonderful to use in the shower, has a generous lather and elevates a quotidian and unremarkable task to something special. Customer service is superlative as well. I have been purchasing a steady stream of soaps for the past 7 months or so and look forward to the day I can visit Boston to buy them in person!

Allie, the owner, is an amazing businesswoman who runs a top-notch, highly professional, and friendly team. They were so accommodating, understanding, and attentive to all of my concerns and preferences.

Everyone looked gorgeous! I cannot recommend Rouge Cosmetics enough for your wedding day or any beauty service!

On my wedding day, we went to the salon because we didn't have enough people for them to come to the hotel. Allie did hair and I can't for the life of me remember our makeup artists name, but she is AMAZING! We all gave her the vibe and color tones and let her run with it. Everyone's makeup was perfection. My hair was absolutely incredible as was my mom's and my bridesmaid. My MIL has super short hair and Allie was able to make it look nice as well. It was considerably more expensive than I was quoted, but we all looked amazing so I'm really happy we chose Rouge

I went to La Chic because of the reviews I had read on here. I sincerely think after my experience…read morethat these reviews were made up for business. My gels are wavy and bubbly..that's NEVER happened before. My pedicure was fast and nothing compared to pedicures I've had. The girl who started my nails took 2 walk ins and had the pedicurist finish my nails at the same time. One of the walk ins I'm sure didnt know that the girl doing her feet was Anns ( pedicure ) daughter and she just had come in. They were telling her how to do it as she did the womans feet. Everything was unprofessional and off. Ann and safina(?) are very nice, but it's the worst place I've ever been to in every way. Now..I have terible looking nails for a weekend which is too busy with events for me to go have them redone..I just hope I can save someone else.

I have pink and white acrylics and I had a pink fill done. Sabrina is a perfectionist! My nail are thin and a great length. I had my nails done previously at another salon and the pink acrylic they used was too bright. Sabrina picked a better shade of acrylic for me and helped pick a top coat that would blend the 2 shades together until they grew out. She was very fast and efficient. It was past closing time and Sabrina offered to wax my eyebrows. I normally do my eyebrows myself so I'm particular about how they are done. Again Sabrina did an outstanding job!!! She was fast and the shape was perfect. I can't say enough about my first visit. I'm looking forward to going back. Sabrina was professional and very pleasant to talk with. I highly recommend this salon. Fantastic!!!
