Amanda Byrd

I had a wonderful experience at Swanky. It was my first visit, and Ruby was extremely welcoming. She made me feel comfortable, asked for my preferences, and sugaring history and overall did a fantastic job. The place was so cute, it was clean, and she even gifted me with some aftercare items/instructions. I will most definitely be a returning customer. Thank you, Ruby! :)

Ruby was awesome, explained the sugaring process clearly and was great to talk with. She was gentle and made me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend and will definitely go back. Thank you.

Raquel is amazing!!!!!!!!! Not only is she personable which is a welcome distraction during the appointment but her methods are very efficient, professional and as painless as I think it could be. I would highly recommend going to Raquel to anyone interested in sugaring!
