I just had my lashes tinted and lifted for the first time and I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! I can’t stop looking at my lashes! The experience was great. Super clean and a cute little studio office. Each step in the process was explained to me, and I was in and out quicker than the appointment time. I would absolutely recommend Skin and Wax. Be prepared, though, to not get in right away. She’s so good that she’s booked up. But once you’re on her list, you’ll get emails with openings that pop up.

I have seen Cate several times for facials and lash lift and tint! She got my skin and lashes to look great before my wedding! The atmosphere in her salon is so calming and comforting. Cate also helped me create a skincare routine that I will actually follow! I always feel great after my appointments!

Kate is so professional, always on time. (Very understanding when I’m late, because I fight traffic to get to her location)She can provide a wealth of knowledge on skin care and products specifically for your skin.I get my lashes lifted and tinted and love the results every time.She even gave me advice about micro blading my eyebrows and helped me decide what would look and last long for me even though it’s not a service she provides.I love all the products she carries and the local candles and additional little things she has for sale.Ambiance of the spa is always great with music that is never the same. It’s always a relaxing visit.Could not recommend her more. :) 10/10 !

Thanks to my MIL for finding Cate for me! I received a gift card to Skin & Wax last Christmas and the rest is history! I’ve received some facials and waxing services from Cate and I couldn’t be happier with the services I’ve received. She’s so professional, ALWAYS on time, and thorough! Her studio is so well kept and so convenient too. I’d recommend Cate and Skin & Wax over and over again.

I have received multiple facials at Skin & Wax. It is always a very relaxing experience- even during Covid I was able to relax due to safety measures and exceptional cleanliness. I’m always amazed at the glow my skin has for weeks after the facial service.

I get my eyebrows waxed and eyelashes lifted and tinted every 6 weeks. The results are amazing. These little tweaks make me feel more confident and put together.Cate is also amazing. She’s super patient and always answers my many questions about skin care. (Since I’m getting older, I’ve been trying to take better care of my skin.)I highly recommend Skin and Wax. Great business.

I have been getting the lash lift and tint along with the wow brow for about 8 months now. After following Skin and Wax and FB I finally made my apt and got my first treatment. Let me just say I was so impressed. I gifted my MIL a treatment and she also loved it. I have been going back every 6-8 weeks since my first visit.

Cate is by far THE BEST esthetician I’ve ever been to and I’ve been coming to her for at least 8 years if not more. She’s professional, knowledgeable and always had something new to share. Her brow lamination is to die for but truly everything she does is super!

I had my first appointment with Cate this week, and I have to say her service EXCEEDED my every expectation. I saw Cate for midday appointment and was pleased to find her prepared, ready and on time to see me. As a helpful tip, she texted me specific directions on how to find her and even where to park. Her space was clean, friendly and inviting.I was nervous as this was my first wax experience. Would my skin be irritated? How painful would it be? Would everything look good after this appointment? Etc. Cate was incredibly patient and spent time not only answering all of my questions, she also took time to describe each step of the process. She made it a priority that I see how much hair would be removed, which types of wax would be used, if I had any skin irritations, and more!I am especially happy she took before and after photos so I could see how my eyebrows looked and truly see the benefit of the appointment. I cannot believe how full, healthy and natural my eyebrows look! I feel more confident, put together and ready to take on my day!I highly recommend Cate to anyone looking for a clean, friendly, convenient & expert experience. She is incredibly knowledgeable and will truly go the extra mile to exceed your expectations.

I loved all the Dermologica products that she used. I bought a few as well and love using them daily. I can’t wait until my next visit! Thanks Cate

Lashes look great! My eyelashes normally arent very noticeable even with mascara, but after getting them lifted and tinted they really stand out and look beautiful!! The best part is that it lasts 3 months!

I had a wonderful experience with Cate at Skin and Wax! A very clean and professional environment, while also being friendly and inviting. Her work is incredible. Ive gotten both a brow wax and a lash lifting treatment, which made for a perfect look, and would 100% do it again.

I have been going to Cate for years. She has helped clear up my adult acne and get my skin in a condition I never thought I would be able to get to. She is constantly staying up-to-date with the latest science and developments in tools, technique and products. Skincare is not just her profession, it is her passion.

Review №39

I want to preface this review by saying I did receive a refund for the botched service I received, after requesting one...even after the owner admitted that the service was not up to her high standards. I said I would not write a review but after much thought, the customer service and care that was taken for my entire appointment and after has literally made me ill. I have never ever received such awful service from such a highly accredited place in all my life- meanwhile, the provider & owner Cate continued to lay blame on me for HER carelessness. I am in the beauty industry and if I ever treated one of my clients the way she treated me, I wouldnt have business or referrals.I fully take blame for my tardiness. I unfortunately was stuck at a light for 3 full cycles and I was 11 minutes late. Cate was SO irritated (even though I had informed her via text as soon as this happened.) When I finally got there, she was rude as soon as I walked in and was beyond passive aggressive. I was receiving a Brazilian and let me say, facials might be her thing because waxing the lady parts IS NOT.She took me back to the room and said heres a wipe to clean up, just make sure youre clean down there. (I walked in with damp hair, straight from a shower, not sure if she thought I wasnt clean, but this womans verbiage is awful.)I laid down on the table and immediately felt uncomfortable, no music, just a cold sterile environment. She didnt explain anything just asked me to move around to position myself and began ripping away. She did the back area first and said I like to do this first to get it out of the way. She shouldnt be offering a Brazilian if shes uncomfortable with the private areas, considering she didnt even do the whole area, clean the wax off of it or anything. I was left with CHUNKS of wax entangled in the remaining strands of hair. (Yeah, its pretty personal.)Now here comes the fun part, she burnt me. Not only did she burn me with the wax and left very irritated areas of the lady bits, she BLAMED it on me. OH YEAH! She told me You just run very hot down there. so the wax wasnt cooling quickly enough for her and she kept spraying me with some kind of cooling solution, which burned. Couldnt get the wax off of me and even said at one point I dont know whats going on after a chunk of hardened wax landed next to my head.Well I do Cate, your wax was too hot, burnt me and thats why it wouldnt cool quickly enough. She was using a wax that wouldnt peel off my skin easily, didnt do it correctly and had me almost come off of the table from pain.Ive been getting waxed down there for almost 3 years, never in my life have I had such an awful, unfinished experience. There was hair left, burns, (couldnt go to the gym for 2 days!!) Had to get a nurse and another wax pro to look at it to make sure everything was a-OK. I had wax in my panties (had to throw them away.) She STILL charged me the full amount even though the job was NOT fully done.Now, here is the icing on the cake, I emailed Cate to explain how insanely unsatisfied I was and SHE CONTINUED TO BLAME ME FOR BEING LATE. Unreal...she burned me and couldnt finish a 20 min wax job (according to my regular waxers) in 40 min because she said she was more concerned with getting me done to be on-time for her next client. She also mentioned that when a client is 15 minutes or more late that she shouldve rescheduled me...well I wasnt.I emailed her back to explain that I was burned, etc and that I wanted a full refund because of how awful it was and she did refund me but without response.Stick to facials. Waxing isnt your thing.

Not your typical facial. So many extras with no feeling of being rushed. Heat applications and the aroma makes for the most relaxing and calming facial you will ever have! Cate is so knowledgeable and never stops learning the best and latest skin products and procedures. The product she uses is the best, dermalogica, and Cate is a licensed dermalogica expert.Takes time to attend shows and forums and uses the latest state of the art equipment and products. She explains her procedures and product and makes sure it is right for you and is always implementing new techniques in her sessions with you.I have been goIng to Cate since she started and she only gets better and better. You will be hooked after your first experience with Cate. I highly recommend Her to anyone who is serious about keeping their skin young and youthful.
