Customers frequently praise the staff's friendliness, knowledge, and ability to make clients feel comfortable during services like facials, spray tans, and lash treatments. Many reviewers highlight the value of monthly memberships and note that the business accommodates scheduling changes. However, a few low-star reviews criticize the consistency of waxing results, noting uneven hair removal, and one complaint alleges a rude refusal to reschedule a missed appointment.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Amanda! She did spray tans for my daughter, my sister-in-law, and me, and she was absolutely amazing! From the moment we met her, she made us feel so comfortable and welcome. She is genuinely one of the sweetest, kindest people!
Amanda was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything to us, answer all our questions, and share so many helpful tips to make sure we got the best results. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and takes pride in what she does.
The entire experience was so enjoyable, and Amanda made it even more special with her warm personality and attention to detail. It’s so refreshing to meet someone who not only loves what they do but also goes above and beyond to make their clients feel beautiful and confident.
I would absolutely recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a spray tan! We will definitely be back! ❤️
