Tara is a genuine and skilled aesthetician. After living other places and going to aestheticians who used hard wax, and who told me when I asked what to look for in an aesthetician in my new location - be sure they use hard wax, it works better and is the least painful. That worked after 2 or 3 moves. However when I moved here, I did not readily find an aesthetician with good reviews who used hard wax. I found people who did strip waxing (soft wax and cloths) who said it was better than hard wax, more effective, not as painful, etc. So I tried that a few times and . . . I think perhaps it is easier and cleaner for them, but not better for me. I left those salons feeling sore for days and weeks afterward. I again went online and searched and this time found Tara. Compared to the others, I am very happy to say that my experience with Tara was minimally uncomfortable and my skin did NOT hurt afterward. Try a session with Tara - you and your skin will be so happy you did!
