I booked an appointment here after my usual place couldn't get me in on short notice. I saw that this place was recommended on BEST OF CHANNEL 7, so I thought I would give it a whirl.\r
\r
So after I found this place in the dark and walked uphill 3 blocks because there wasn't any parking available in the freezing cold, I walked in the door. The place is lofty-looking, and the owner has huge photographs on the wall of brides that have had their makeup done by him. Art would have been better.\r
\r
I was given a glass of water, and they have a really nice sitting area where you can either watch the highland neighborhood through some product shelving or you can watch ther staff at work.\r

When you walk in, you will see two chairs behind the cash register with people in them getting their brows waxed. When I had mine done there was thankfully no one there to watch me get my hair ripped from my face...kind of weird? The girl that did my brows did a fine job, but the place lacks any kind of comfort or friendliness. Maybe that's the point...you're in and out for a wax, strikingly similiar to the feel of getting your oil changed and then you're on your way. Very clinical. If you're down for that kind of experience, be my guest. If you're used to coming into a closed room set apart from people watching you the whole time, I don't know if you'll be comfortable here. \r
\r
Definitely make sure to go to the bathroom before you go, as I had to climb 2 or 3 EXTREMELY steep, winding stairs to a small bathroom. I wouldn't make the trip in any shoes with a heel, or else you may be taking a spill. \r
\r
When I was upstairs, I saw an area set aside...maybe for bikini or brazilian waxing and facials? \r
\r
If I was desperate for an appointment I would consider coming back during a slow time of day.
Pros: Skilled Staff
Cons: Atmosphere NOT ideal
