| - Esther is my aesthetician of 4 1/2 years. I first started seeing her when she worked at the Adam Pink Salon, but she started her own business and I happily followed. Through all my moves all over the East Valley, I would faithfully make the trek across town to see Esther. Fortunately, I eventually landed in Ahwatukee, so now Esther is just a 5-minute drive from my house.
She offers waxing, customized facials, microdermabrasion peels, eye lash extensions, makeup application, etc all at very reasonable rates. I usually pay $35 to have my whole face waxed, tip included. Brazilians cost $45, eyebrows alone cost $13, and a 60-minute facial costs $65. She gives a customer discount card, which she initials at every visit. After the 5th identical service, you get your service 50% off. Cash or check only.
If you call and leave a message and she's with a client, she's always very prompt to return your phone call and arrange your appointment. I usually can get in within a day or two of when I call. She currently works Tues-Saturday. Plus, she works until 7pm Tues-Thurs and she also works Saturdays, so it's easy to make an appointment that fits around your work or school schedule.
I can't speak to her other services, but I can highly recommend Esther for waxing. She has a very relaxing set-up, with a comfortable bed and a cute little studio. I've actually been so tired and so relaxed that I've come THIS close to falling asleep while laying there and having her wax my brows, lips and chin. I don't know if this speaks for Esther's awesome hair-removing skills, or just highlights the fact that I've been having this done for WAY too long now that I've become sort of immune to the pain.
I really like that she uses Jane Iredale (a mineral makeup without binders or fillers) to cover up the post-waxing redness. I'm super uber fair with super sensitive skin - so I'm the kind of girl that turns FLAMING RED after a wax. Worse yet, I stay red for a good hour afterwards. Well, after a wax with Esther I can actually *gasp* go shopping across the street at Fry's or Safeway IN PUBLIC without having to hide beneath a garishly large floppy hat and oversized sunglasses. In fact, I used to go get waxed during my lunch break, and return to work without anyone being the wiser!
Another bonus is that you can do a little one-stop beauty servicing while you're in the building. The building where Esther rents her studio (Signature Salon Studios) also houses a bunch of other hair stylists, makeup artists, beauty salons, and kitschy boutiques.
Lucky for Esther, I'm a hairy girl. Lucky for me, I've found her to keep my unsightly hairiness in check!
