Elke was a pleasure to work with. She listened and understood my concerns, and gave me the perfect brows for my wedding. Even gave me tips on what makes your eyes look tired, etc. I have full confidence in her.
I love Elke and team! Her product line is amazing and she has totally reshaped/regrew my eyebrows. So happy i found her :) Thanks Elke for all that you do!!
Lovely, personalized service. The results of the new client trim + tint are amazing. I visited Elke for the first time today and completely expect to be a regular customer from now on.
Love my Elke brows! Super gentle, awesome results that last. Elke taught me to stop trimming and over-plucking and my brows look better than ever. Brow tint and lash tint also perfect every time. Highly recommend!
Elke was wonderful! Highly recommend her for all your brow needs.
Elke's service is an amazing investment. About a year and a half ago, I decided to get off the eyebrow threading train I had been on for 2 decades. Even with the same person, my results were always inconsistent and only looked good for about a week after I went.
So, I spent a few months growing my eyebrows out and made an appointment with Elke.
First, Elke is such a nice woman. Very warm and personable. The location is great, and the salon is big and open. It was definitely more expensive than my $12 threading. BUT in the long run, I know I will have saved so much money. Here's why:
Elke showed me what had been going wrong with my eyebrows. I never saw it before, but they were NOT symmetrical. I was walking around with 2 completely (but subtly) different eyebrows. And it seemed they were always out of place. Then, she showed my WHY this had happened based on the entire threading process. Then she told me her plan for my eyebrows, and how it would eliminate my current issues.
All in all, I had about 4 or 5 sessions with Elke. Then, Covid hit and I had to leave NYC for a few months. I'm still not back (tearing up...) But I still have my tweezers. And since I have a plan for my eyebrows, I know where to pluck now. And where to trim. I haven't been back in almost a year. Or to anyone but myself. But my eyebrows have never looked better. Even my husband noticed it. (WIN)
If I was in NYC, I would definitely go back, but for now, I'll rely on what Elke taught me and hope for the best. Thanks ELKE!
Highly recommend :)
Had an awful experience. Was there for an appointment and arrived a bit earlier. The studio was open and regular business hours. Although the studio was empty and with a waiting room, she asked me to go anywhere else but there and she "needed" the space until my appointment exact time. I have seriously never experienced something like that. Not even having the courtesy to invite to wait there. She apparently wanted to be alone until the appointment but not the nicest way to treat a customer.
Elke, the owner of the salon, couldn t be lovelier! She was very attentive to detail and she did my eyebrows exactly the way I requested. I asked for her to be extra conservative as this was my first time getting my eyebrows worked on. I requested the lamination, shaping and tint. After I waited the required 48 hours for the treatment to settle, I decided that I wanted to go a little darker with the tint. Elke, a professional who values customer satisfaction, was super accommodating and eager to please. I went back at a time that was convenient for me and she re-tinted my brows at no cost. All in all, the experience was wonderful! My brows look natural and lush.
The salon is clean and spacious and COVID precautions are put in place to guarantee to safety of the customer during their service.
Elke is amazing, the aesthetic of the studio. Very clam and serene.
Visited Elke s for the first time and left with my brows looking better than they ever have, 3 people complimented me on them within an hour. Elke herself is lovely and kind, could not recommend anymore highly. :)
I had purchased a Bloomspot deal and I m usually nervous about these because I rarely receive great service when I walk into a business with a Groupon, Livingsocial and its likes. It is weird because that s the one shot the business has to get new customers and keep them! Most businesses will cheap out because the client is using a deal. Well, not with Elke. When I saw Elke s deal on Bloomspot, it was my first time getting my brows professionally done by a pro. There were so many positive reviews about Elke that I didn't think it could go wrong. I also purchased a 75 minutes facial deal at the same time (they do not offer 75 mins facials anymore. Just 60 or 90 mins). I did not think I benefited too much from the brow styling because I lack a full grown eyebrow to work with. I even grew them out before I went to see her. Elke gave me a lot of good advice on what I can do to help grow out my brows and also what she thinks would look best for me. She used her own product line on me but didn t push me to purchase anything. She's really friendly!
Last week, I finally got to use my 75 minutes facial deal. I called to book an appointment but found out they were not taking any appointments until they get hire a new esthetician. As soon as they hired someone, they immediately contacted me and I booked an appointment right away. Her name is Pamela and she was so great. I don't know if I got exceptional service because she was new but she was friendly, attentive and was not too critical about my skin (some estheticians are flat out mean if they see bad skin). She was gentle and thoroughly applied each product on my face. I felt so comfortable that I dozed off for a bit. The facial also included an arm and hand massage. When I awoke, my skin was looking clean and refreshed. She used all of Elke s products during the facial and wrote down on a card everything she had used on me. I would return to Elke s for a facial but unfortunately, I am unable to afford it on a regular basis. I would totally recommend Pamela!
