Kristina at Melted Esthetics is the best 💜 she's literally my all time favorite waxing bew! Her spot is so cozy & warm, she is like the professional BFF you always wanted & very informative to any questions/concerns you may have. 10/10 highly recommend 🫶🏼

Alicia was great! I had wanted my eyebrows micro bladed for awhile but was nervous to do so. Alicia made me feel comfortable and explained everything in detail. I am so happy with my results she did exactly what I asked and they look so natural. I have gotten so many compliments, so happy I got them done!!

I had a great experience at Aviva Salon. I got lash extensions customized just for me at a great price. I am in love! The best part of the appointment was chatting with the shop owner; she was so incredibly kind. I highly recommend this salon for everything; they do it all!
