I was a client of Piper's at a different salon and followed her to Glastonbury, and am sticking with her as she transitions to this new location. Piper does a really good job and I've always been very happy with the services provided. Waxing and facials are the services I use most often. Great customer services. Read Less

I went for a brazilian a week before vacation, Piper is really nice & very personable but seemed quite hurried & overwhelmed. I have thick hair & she didn't have any hard wax warmed up. There was no consultation(which i've had at other places, no questions about medications, allergies or anything). I don't mind pain, but i think the wax could have gone better if she had used a little powder beforehand. I was very red for about a week, even with using Bikini zone my skin seemed irritated & looked bumpy. I haven't gone back, and maybe she was just having an off day. Read Less

So glad I stumbled across Piper here on Yelp! I've been looking for a place to go for my Brazilians after moving to the area. I'm not new to waxing, so I've been hesitant to try somewhere new. After reading the reviews here I took a chance and booked an appointment. Piper's studio was clean and welcoming, and she herself was very friendly and put me at ease. This was probably the least painful one I've ever had too. She uses a combination of strip and hard wax which (I feel) made it easier to get everything off. She is a true professional and clearly knows what she's doing.Her prices are very competitive and she's worth every penny. Already booked my next appointment :) Using the app also makes things a lot easier since you can modify or change your appointment. Read Less

Smooth Sands was in a great location and Piper's space was very clean and welcoming, but I would not recommend Smooth Sands for eyelash tinting. Piper was quite hurried when she was doing my lashes. When I ask her to redo the corners and roots where she had missed, she told me no one would notice, and hurriedly tried to fix them to appease me but still didn't get all the way to the roots or the corners. I've had my lashes tinted at many different locations, and getting all the way to roots and corners makes a huge difference on blond lashes and pale skin. Read Less

I came across Piper's business on Yelp because I wanted to start seeing someone regularly for Brazilian and eyebrow waxes. I had tried out Brazilian waxing for the first time on a 3-visit Groupon to somewhere else; I enjoyed the results but wasn't satisfied with the service. I have had 2 visits with Piper and each have been excellent. She's quick with her service without lacking quality and attention (no missed patches on either visit). And when I say quick, that is not a bad thing.... I personally want the whole unpleasant removal of hair part to be done with ASAP ;) Both times she's been very easy to talk to, asking what's going on with me and even telling a couple of her own fun stories. She's even answered all of my random questions about the process, which I imagine is a bit odd to her that I'm so curious about it.Overall, this is exactly what I was looking for and I'm happy to support Piper. She's in her first year of business in this space (she's been an esthetician for years but at different salons). If you're looking to get a service with a strong business-customer relationship, then this is your place. Read Less

So happy to find Piper again! A few years ago I met Piper at another salon and since then I've seen different people for a wax but it just wasn't the same. The app for the appointment is super easy to use and has a few reminders sent to you so forgetting your appointment is impossible! If you need to change or adjust your appointment you can do it through the appointment  and quickly select a new time or cancel the appointment. Read Less
