Markia is the best! I’ve seen her for years for waxing, facials, and general skin and beauty advice. She’s extremely tentative and I always leave feeling taken care of and impressed. She will make sure you feel comfortable and will answer any question you have. She’ll also work with you to customize your service to fit your body and needs. Highly recommend!

Markia has been my wax lady over 4 years and I love her. She is so nice, always does a great job and is super professional.

Markia is amazing - she is fast as well as meticulous. I never worry about how my eyebrows will turn out or even really feel the need to give direction, completely trust!
