What customers said about body waxing
Elevate Salon + SpaNatalie is a talented stylist. I have been her customer for 2 years now and have never been disappointed with her work. I am very picky when it comes to my hair. She makes my hair shine and compliment my look. I highly recommend Elevate for their professionalism and customer care.
BUBBLES SalonsWent in for a walk-in brow wax appt and Morgan A. was great! I was in and out in under 10 minutes. Such a pleasant experience.
Trend SalonMaria does so many amazing things! Eyebrows, lashes and hair!! I have had the most relaxing and amazing facials with Erin and my skin has never looked better. Cicely, at the front desk, is fun, helpful and gives off positive vibes. Love this place!
Glo-Out Glamour BarKara did a fabulous job waxing my eyebrows, exactly as I'd requested. I'll definitely be back!
Elevate Salon + SpaI’ve received cut, color, and waxing services, plus purchased top quality haircare products, from this kind and talented staff for 9 years! I highly recommend Elevate to all. I always leave the salon looking (and feeling!) way better than when I came in.
Elevate Salon + SpaFirst time at the salon and it was so cute! The staff was super friendly and the environment was absolutely perfect. I went to Raven for a cut and eyebrow wax and she absolutely nailed it, all while making sure I wasn’t late for my other appointment. She is a national treasure that should be protected at all costs!
