Where is the Best Hair Removal in Austin, Texas?
I had bought a gift certificate for a friend visiting me in Austin–and she was amazingly impressed with Halina’s Spa (it is hard to please her being the “citytype” and her used to the upscale spas the Northeast has). She said that even though it was not overwhelming huge or overly flashy as some spas are today, the environment was perfectly elegant in its own way. What she really ranted on about was the facial (very detailed and not painful as what she is used to) and the massage (she was astonished with how experienced the young lady was–very talented with getting the knots out). She’s coming back into town once I deliver my baby–and I (and obviously her) look very forward to a day relaxing at Halina’s!
I’ve lived in Austin for 2.5 years and have had my hair hacked, fried and miscolored at 5 other salons and have paid hundreds and hundreds of dollars for that disappointment. Then I met Laura at J. Thomas.Laura’s sweet disposition made it easy for me to express what I wanted. Not only did she listen, but made suggestions on what she could do to compliment my frame and facial features. I walked out of the salon that day looking gorgeous! My next visit, I trusted Laura with my hi/lo lights. I was pleasantly surprised when she got my color spot-on the first time (this is the first time I haven’t had to go back for a correction since I moved to Austin), then she cut and styled my hair in less than 2 hours! Once again, I walked out looking absolutely beautiful!Listening to Laura talk about how she’s done people’s hair for various events, I smiled at hearing how much joy she gets from making her clients look beautiful when she styles our hair. She has such passion that shows throu
Prior to being a loyal customer at this sweet salon for several months, i had my good and bad experiences at close to two dozens salon in town. But this one has me holding a 5-star rating at a heart beat. They greet me by name, know my polish choice and even recognize my voice on the phone whenever i call in for appointment. I had my trials on gel nails for 3 months, then switched to pink and white acrylic for a couple of month, and now back to gel nails. I am satisfied at both choices. i like the shininess from the gel, and the toughness from the acrylic. I like the fact that every technician i have had so far has been very attentive and skillful. One may file faster than the other, but they are all great. Their tools, their files, their tables are clean and neat. They are cheerful and fun to chat with. So, yeah, it’s defintely a great place to get my beauty treatments done with a sure satisfaction.Pros + Ambience, quality products, great prices, service
I went to the downtown location and at first I was a bit thrown off by how busy 2nd street really is. I’m never downtown and was making this my first Milk & Honey visit not knowing what to expect. The Austin Chronicle had awarded Jessica for best brazilian waxer and I wanted my first brazilian to be easy. Booking with her can be difficult, so I recommend planning a day to see her since she only works Thursdays and a couple of Sundays a month.Jessica kept the room dark and relaxing, having a lamp where she needed it and light out of my eyes. I didn’t feel overly exposed and the bed was actually warm and comfortable. She kept my mind off the waxing through conversation and talked to me about how to prevent ingrown hairs. She had suggested getting a package of waxing for a discount and I’m definitely going to do that the next time I get paid. I’m hooked.What really made my day was that I was in and out in 20 minutes! They validated my parking for city hall and I got to enjoy 2nd stre
My husband and I had moved to Austin and were looking for someone who could give me a good haircut for my thin, no body hair and also give my husband a good shave along with a haircut. My husband went to Super Cuts and came back looking like he had his hair done by a Cuisinart. I went to Trent and he worked with the natural waves I had only in one part of my head and gave me a no fuss hair-do that is the best I have ever had. I can travel and not have to haul along blowers, gels, etc. and it looks fabulous. He keeps my color looking natural and hides all my grey in this great style even while it has grown out so I can stretch my hair coloring to every 8 weeks. He truely is terrific. Oh yes, and my husband won’t go to anyone else now. Pros + always on time, professional, friendly, talentedCons – none
