I don't usually write reviews much longer than a few lines, but I am such a fan of this place and I think it's so important to support local businesses.Charmed Lashe has an unassuming store front, but once you walk-in you get the sense that a lot of thought was put into the details of the décor. Everything is quite..."charming"! It's a cozy space, but every square foot is used effectively. I especially love the lash / brow area. You really feel like you're getting pampered. You expect this from a big name salon, but I'm really impressed that they pull it off in a low key way.Everyone is so welcoming and friendly, both staff and clientele. The prices are competitive, and Frank, the owner, takes customer loyalty seriously. I know this because I've seen the operational changes he's made because he wanted to make sure his staff members are happy and get along with each other, and that customers' feedback is taken seriously. I can say from my own experience that when I wasn't satisfied with a service, I felt comfortable telling Frank, and he was not only receptive to the feedback, but he also went above and beyond in making sure I knew I was heard through his follow-up communication and offering a complimentary service.I went here for the first time in January partly because I was dissatisfied with my original lash lady at a place close to where I live, but more so because it was convenient to where I was going to be the rest of that day. Even though I live quite a bit away, I continue to come back because Olga is nothing short of gifted with lashes. She is precise with application, and really puts thought into the artistry of making the extensions look so natural. Also, recently I finally gave into letting my eyebrows be done by sometime besides myself. I thought I had really sparse brows so I've always been too hesitant to let anyone touch them for fear of over-waxing. All of you out there who know what I'm talking about, you know you just nodded your head when you read that last sentence Anyway, Deshon is to brows as Olga is to lashes. Thorough and precise, she understands how to really frame your face. From what I've seen on other customers of the other services they offer, the staff aren't just technicians. IMO they're really artisans, reading what they do as a fine craft. It sounds hooky, but it's true. The proof is in the product!Last thing I think is 100% important to mention is that initially I thought someone else, not Frank, was the owner, and I think a lot of other customers thought the same thing. I know that several had a negative experience because of that person (who is no longer there), and I hope they eventually give this place another chance like I did. Full disclosure, I booked that person for lashes the second time I came in, and immediately knew it was as mistake. The quality and care wasn't in it, and I didn't feel like anything said would actually be heard so I decided the next time I would just book with Olga (again she is amazing!!!) and put up with the other person being around. I have no regrets about giving them a second chance. I am definitely a loyal customer because it's apparent that Frank is committed to ensuring a top notch customer experience through his decision to be present and run the business full time. He was even thoughtful enough to not disparage / trash talk that former employee when I tried to dig for style dirt. That's not something you see very often these days. I'm also impressed to see that he wants to make sure his staff all get along because he knows his their satisfaction is equally important and key to the customer experience.If you still can't tell, I highly recommend Charmed Lashe!
