Thank @god she transplanted to the East Coast! it's so difficult to find someone you trust with skincare + intimate waxing maters! she truly is a gift in her profession. She will make you feel comfortable immediately! Before Sara was in NY - I tried several different estheticians, and ... let's just say, there was no reason for me to develop loyalty with them. absolutely elated with her professionalism & services! Her facials are supreme + somehow the waxing is relaxing! check her out before demand beats you to the punch!

I have been going to Sara for a few years now and I am so thankful I found her! The skincare line…read moreshe uses is absolutely fantastic--it has changed the look and feel of my skin like no other line. I recommend her to everyone I know and now my favorite gift to give my nearest and dearest is a gift certificate for a facial with Sara. It's the perfect gift! I live up in Encinitas so it is hard to make it down as much as I would like, but when I run out of product she will mail it to me right away. It makes it so much easier to keep up on my skincare regimen between facials. Everyone should be able to feel great about their skin like I do.

This has nothing to do with my perfect angel aesthetician and everything to do with the rude woman Bethany who was working the front desk. I had a monthly membership and have spent thousands with Chateau Glow. After my terrible experience, they did nothing to attempt to retain me or rectify the problem at hand. Yesterday, I came back to Chateau Glow after taking a break in my membership when I had to cancel my appointment in April to deal with a sudden death in my family. I spent $720 on a laser facial package for 4 laser facials in the winter and was alternating between laser and my member voucher until the package was used up (or so I thought). My last appointment was a laser facial, then when I came back to book an appointment, I was automatically booked for a laser facial without having asked for one and was expected to pay the cost of a one-off laser facial, a whopping $350 (minus 20% member discount) out of nowhere after nobody notified me of my package being used up or there being an additional charge in any of my confirmation emails, despite everyone blindly insisting that it was listed within the appointment confirmation emails. I've since checked 5 times to make sure I'm not going crazy, it's not listed. And if by some miracle it is listed, it sure is well-hidden. "The best they could do" after totally blindsiding me was applying one of my vouchers and leaving me out $125. Bethany at the front desk just blankly stared at me and insisted over and over again that I was wrong about the confirmation emails not containing the additional cost, eye-rolls and sighs all part of the A+ customer service experience. After emailing to notify the team of my bad experience and subsequent membership cancellation they did nothing to try to retain me and maintained the same confirmation email story. This business doesn't care if you spend $5 or $5,000 so long as they get their money.

I just noticed most skincare spas use black bar type device that the client lies under. I guess that replaces the steam machine. I was wary of breaking out but I did not at all. I am happy the esthetician text me to check on my skin. I have curly textured hair and I was afraid of ingrown hair or pustules Anyhow it is best to become a member because it is $140 monthly I paid close to $200 for my first time visit I feel so encouraged to try more spas for facials

I called ahead to try to name some of the girls that maybe available, and I got Alex C, or Alexandra. She was AMAZING! She was so super meticulous with the manicure I got, that it looked almost photo shopped. She had steady hands and worked quickly and cleanly. She didn't talk too much, but she really takes pride in her work. I didn't make it easy for her, especially since we had to remove the remaining SNS, but she didn't hurt me or cut my cuticles until I bled. Great success! If you're expecting to be pampered and fawned over, this isn't your place. If you're having a nails emergency and need a doctor, Freckle to the rescue!

There were a lot of things I really liked about this salon. It's cozy, just 3 mani stations and 2…read morefor the pedi. There are no fancy tricked out pedi chairs but I still felt comfortable and pampered. I went in after seeing all the great reviews since I was in the area and the receptionist told me it would be a 1/2 hour wait for a mani pedi. No problem. Because it's small and they seem to have a loyal customer following I had no problem waiting a bit instead of trying a few of the nearby places. I loved the huge variety of colors and brands, and especially that they carry Zoya polishes which are some of my favorites (they tend to apply very well and last), but you don't see them in salons very often. I got a really thorough but efficient basic mani-pedi. I was amazed at how quickly she worked and both my fingers and toes looked gorgeous after. Especially since my fingers had a pastel pistachio color that can sometimes apply streakily in the wrong hands. But nope, I got a flawless application. I stayed a bit longer to do an extra drying cycle because I didn't want to mess up the beautiful work I just had done. I'm giving it 3 stars because after only two days both the polish on my fingers and toes started chipping within 2 days. For fingers it's not that unexpected, even though I wasn't very active during that time. I was really surprised the toenail polish began chipping, since I've had good pedis that last 10-14 days unblemished and even longer and I thought the one I got at Freckle would be in the longer-lasting category. If I'm in the neighborhood I might try Freckle again because I walked out feeling great and my nails did look incredible from the start. It was just really disappointing that it lasted barely 48 hours.

This review is purely about the predatory business practices this business/management seems to have…read morein place. The waxes themselves are great and I have appreciated the staff and their technique. 1. I signed up for the Face Fix Membership. In the buying process, the Face Fix does not have a description of what it includes/excludes. I only discovered that it included 2 services/month when I tried to book a third service in the same month. Sure - ok maybe just a website issue... so I emailed them and have not heard back for a week+. But then, on top of that... 2. I canceled before my billing date (a day or two before), and for some reason, it's locking me into this membership until THE END OF SEPTEMBER - TWO months from now. I will obviously be disputing this with my credit card company, but it's pretty sus to me that it takes a month to "process by cancellation request." I've checked my confirmation email and there is nothing about a membership cancellation notice. There is also a "processing fee" of $15 to get your membership set up, which I accepted when I bought the membership. Anyways, my advice is to use the services at Uni Wax, but be very careful about what you're signing up for because they are employing some pretty sketchy practices.
