In Their Own Words

I've been seeing Barbara for about a year for facials. It's not an overstatement to say that she's amazing. My skin was very red before seeing her, a byproduct of acne medications and over exfoliation, but now it's much more calm and clear…Personality-wise, Barbara is kind, thoughtful, and a great listener. She wants to know your skin challenges and wants to meet your needs.

… going to Barbara for about four years and have loved the facials and the products she uses. Not only is the facial a relaxing experience and your skin feels amazing, but she takes the time to educate you your skin and what will help. There is no product pressure at all! … In addition, Barbara's salon is IMPECCABLY clean!

(Barbara) is kind, careful and conscientious. The products she uses (Osmosis) are great and my skin has improved so much during that time.

I go to Quintessence for the best Brazilian bikini wax ever. I've been to several different salons for waxing and I've been burned, bruised, and battered. In some instances I learned the salon was using recycled wax. (Barbara) has a very calm and nurturing demeanor. I really can't say enough.

I am a huge fan of the facials here. Barbara has done facials for me for nearly 5 years… my skin was oily and acne prone. Now my skin is clear and I rarely have any breakouts. She has managed to do what no dermatologist could for me

Barbara has been taking care of me for facials and waxes and I wouldn't trust my skin to anyone else! … She takes pride in what she does and makes sure to let you know what she is doing and the products she is using at every stage of the process… she takes the time to get to know you and your needs so she can customize her skincare solutions.

I've been with Barbara for 5 years! And it's been a great relationship since! One year i decided i was going to try a bikini wax. I was definitely weary because I don’t have the highest threshold for pain and Barb talked me through it and OMG!!! It stung for only a second and it was definitely bearable and she was so quick! … She's the sweetest and you will be too busy talking to realize she's done.

See all

Barbara is amazing. I've been seeing her for years now and would never imagine going to anyone else. Her knowledge of products and her attention to detail about my skin has improved my skin tone and I feel she has taken years off of my age!!! In addition, her waxing skills are top notch. She is very professional and makes anytime I see her a very relaxing and much needed experience. Lastly, she keeps her shop very clean which is so important. You won't be disappointed with Barbara.

(Barbara) has made great recommendations for improving my skincare and is a wiz at Brazilian waxing. Anyone who gets a Brazilian regularly knows that all waxing jobs are NOT the same. Same thing with facials. Even my dad notices when I've gotten a facial with Barbara and it will be three days later!

… seeing Barbara for waxing and facials for more years than I can remember. She keeps my skin glowing and specific to her bikini waxing, I won't trust anyone else to do as thorough or complete a job with no pain or stinging during or after.

I have been seeing Barbara consistently for 7 years. She gave me my first bikini wax and I've stuck with her ever since for my waxing service needs. Great customer service and knowledgeable.

I've experienced both bikini waxes and a facial from Barbara, and she is wonderful at putting you at ease during both processes.

Barb is great at making you feel at ease during the dreaded Brazilian wax!
