Honest Studio-Alyson Ballweber

Alyson made room for me on her books when she was already busy, and did an amazing and fast job on my bikini wax. She made me feel comfortable and secure right away! Honest Studio is very clean and has a relaxing environment! Alyson went far beyond my expectations! Thank you!!! Only place I will go in Bend!!!

I got a bikini wax and an eyebrow wax last week from Alyson. The bikini wax was quick and nearly painless and I couldn’t believe how precise she was with my eyebrows. They turned out amazing! I’ve already scheduled my next appointment :)

I can’t believe I haven’t written a review yet of Alyson and Honest Studio!
I actually discovered Alyson from Unilocal and after reading all the amazing reviews I decided to try her out with an eyebrow wax.
SO GLAD I DID!
She is amazing at shaping brows and has really helped me grow mine out for a better shape for my face.
She is the only one I’ll go to in Bend and I’ll be very sad if I move away and have to find someone new. I love how flexible she is and has managed to squeeze me in on weekends when there was no availability.
I’ve been going to Alyson for months now and highly recommend her for all your waxing needs.

Alyson’s salon was gorgeous, relaxing and clean! She was very knowledgeable, made me feel very welcome and comfortable for my first appointment with her. I will definitely be going back and referring others.

Best wax I’ve ever had. I’ve had waxes all over the country and alyson is the fastest, least painful, and thorough wax. Every single hair, ladies! Also, worth noting she is the best deal in town and her studio is super clean and has a great atmosphere.

I have had traumatic Brazilian waxes before with terrible pain and left my skin irritated and bumpy. Alyson is truly good at what she does. She is professional and thorough. I barely have any pain from what I was used to in the past and she does a nice clean job. I am so happy I found her and go to her for all my waxing needs. She is the best we have here in Central Oregon!

Allyson is the perfect combination of professional aesthetician and compassionate being. I had my first waxing with her and felt completely at ease and comfortable. Her studio is beautiful and also adds to the comfort. I will go back again and again.

New to Bend, searched online and Unilocal for waxing. I found Alison, who was super accommodating to fit me into her booked week as a new client. The waxing session was fast and well done; had eyebrows and a Brazilian. Prices are pretty standard, and I will definitely go back because I’m pleased with the results. I had taken a break from brazilians because I was backpacking this summer, but even with 8+ weeks in between waxes, it only took under 30 minutes for both.

Alyson is the best in town. She is excellent, clean, and thorough, and the quality of her work is absolutely worth the price. Her online booking system makes it easy to schedule appointments, and she makes every effort to accommodate if her openings don’t work with your schedule. Highly recommended, you won’t be disappointed.

Alyson is amazing! I got a brow wax from her. I have very sensitive skin an Alyson is the first person to understand that an her technique is amazing! If you need any waxing go to her the environment Is so peaceful. Just one time going there will turn you into a life time costumer like it did for me. (:

After going to a few salons to get Brazilian waxes, I think I’ve finally found the place for me!
Alyson was so incredibly helpful from the minute I called her, not knowing to book online. She worked with my schedule, and got me an appointment only days later. As someone with sensitive skin, I’ve never had a wax where I haven’t had bumps. Not only was the wax completely painless, it was the cleanest wax I’ve ever had. Alyson is thorough and really great at what she does. Not to mention, her business is fresh and inviting; a very cozy atmosphere for me as a client.
Plus, the price is one of the best around. I’ve went to a higher end salon that was more expensive and had not nearly as good as a wax as I had with Alyson.
She’s definitely pulled in a new repeat customer!

Alyson did an outstanding job on my Brazilian! I was 26 weeks pregnant when I went in to get a «clean up» and everything was great. Almost painless! I’ll be going back!

I’ve gone to Alyson a few times now over the last 2 years. If I ever go to someone else (if she’s booked and I didn’t plan very far in advance… or I just feel like shopping around to see what else is out there) I always ALWAYS regret it. Why? She perfectly shapes brows,(I get compliments on my freaking eyebrows when she does them) she’s quick and accurate, my skin never breaks out afterwards, she doesn’t miss a hair, and does it all correctly so that I don’t end up with broken hairs rather than pulled out hairs. (I’ve been using estheticians for the last 15 years, in 6 different towns, so I’ve seen it all) I especially love that she has online scheduling. That is extremely convenient for this mama. She also carries some pretty top notch skin products that I’m looking forward to trying.

Alyson is AMAZING! She’s super friendly, and definitely knows what she’s doing. She made my brows beautiful for my upcoming wedding, and made suggestions and used different waxes after I told her I had sensitive skin, and have had bad experiences getting waxed in the past. I also had a brazilian wax, which was next to painless — a HUGE step up from the last place I went to, which left me burned and bruised. She’s moving to a new location soon, and I’m so excited that she’ll have her own space. She made me feel immediately at ease and gave off a very professional vibe. I would recommend her to anyone, especially first time waxers who might be a bit nervous.

Alyson is amazing and has great people skills. She was able to take care of my waxing needs as I was literally passing through Bend, Oregon on a road trip. She is kind and real and makes getting waxed a pleasure.

I am so happy with my first visit to Alyson today. She listened carefully to my request regarding my eyebrow wax, and also did a great and very thorough job on the lip wax and facial. The experience as a whole was extremely enjoyable, as she has thought of everything to make it that way.

I had an eyebrow lady in Hawaii who I trusted with my life, but after 2 years of bouncing around the mainland (SF, Dallas) I had yet to find someone who gave my eyebrows that extra special TLC. As you know, when it comes to shaping brows we’re talking MILLIMETERS, man. This is the brain surgery of the beauty world! It wasn’t like I was having disastrous experiences but I was paying $ 50 (oh yeah) and walking out thinking I could have done the same thing with some tweezers and a ruler.
Enter Alyson. I booked her based on other Unilocal reviews and was totally impressed. She was quick, didn’t cost a fortune and my brows looked great! If the eyes are the windows of the soul then your eyebrows are the curtains (or something) so it makes a difference when they are in tip-​top shape. I won’t go anywhere else.

Alyson is fantastic, I wouldn’t go to anyone else. She makes waxing as pain free and comfortable as possible. I highly recommend her!

I recently moved too Bend, and needed a Brazilian wax, after looking online at local salons i saw Alyson’s name come up a lot for Best Esthetician. I called and made an appointment, very quick and easy to make. After my appointment I’m very happy with the results! Alyson is very warm and friendly and the whole process went by fast, smoothly and not very painful at all! Would definitely go too her again, in fact I’m pretty sure i found my Esthetician for Bend :)

Allyson it the best in the business. I have lived in Boston,. San Diego, & Bend and nobody has come even close to what she has done for my skin and brows. After moving here from sunny SD, my skin was a dried out mess. I initially went to here for my eyebrows after reading her reviews at Mia Moda. She mentioned my skin looked really dry and recommended a couple of skincueticial products that would help. It was a very casual recommendation, plus she has flawless skin. She must know what she is doing. right? Shortly thereafter, I ended up getting a facial which was such a treat. Thus, I was hooked on the products as well as Allyson. So grateful we have this gem in CO.
