Fix Studios

Been wondering if I should write this review or now. but here I am. I have used Luxa product before and loved it. I asked for a facial for Christmas because I loved the products so much. Lucky me, I got one! Sadly, it was less than satisfactory. I got there 10 minutes before and no one was there. Hmm, ok. Someone finally shows up and totally ignores that I’m right there. I follow her into the studio and she goes «oh you’re the appointment.» Um, yes I am. She takes me into the room (no ‘have you been here before?’ ‘can I get you some water?’). It ends up being an okay facial. I feel like it only lasted 20 minutes. And not in a good way. At the end she pushed a million products. I knew my gift card covered some stuff so I picked something out. I felt almost bad for not picking more (because of their reactions). I went to check out (with cash to cover my tip because I know gift cards usually don’t cover that) and the lady checking me out was SO RUDE. She gave me a hard time about the gift card and how I was using it. I honestly have no idea what the problem was, but I guess it got worked out.
All that to say I left and my skin looked awful and continued to look awful for a few days after. Complete waste of money. I don’t know what or what she didn’t do, but I was not happy.
BUT the products I use at home I actually like. The anti break out cleansing bar seems to be the only thing that keeps my hormone ace at bay and I love the cleansing oil as a special treat for my skin.
At the end of the day save your money and go somewhere else.

I scheduled a brow and lip wax appointment. The waxer was extremely rude, did a mediocre job on my brows, forgot about my lip, and only waxed part of my lip when I reminded her. The room was so dimly lit that I did not notice until I got home what a terrible job she did. Absolute waste of my time and $ 48 (with an undeserved tip).

I’ve been waxing for ten years off and on, and consistently for five. I have never received such horrible service, absolutely inappropriate for the setting of getting a lot of hair ripped out of your leg for an extended period of time. Note i was ten minutes late and called. I wasnt ideal either, but doesnt excuse the lack of care. Too many better options in this town. Get out of the mission and to someone who smiles at least. Whichever country or establishment this service occurs in, there is a hi, hello. Let me know how i can make this uncomfortable experience better for you. This was a death March, no cover up on my private areas, no introductions or hello, my reading material was taken away from me, there was nothing swift or soft about it. Not even the stadard cooling touch or lotion. She mentioned twice there might not be enough time, and twice i said dont bother with the tweezers then. Ignored. She didn’t even finish the area or say thanks/​Goodbye. Not that i needed it (i only needed what i paid for, which i didn’t get) but seeing this is the service industry here, and they are supposed the specialize in just this one thing, a very sensitive thing, any kindness or hospitality goes a long way. Too many better options.

I have been coming to Fix Studios for almost three years. Since becoming a client, my skin has never looked better and more healthy. Leisa is great and is very knowledgeable about her craft. I also strictly utilize their products and have never had any issues with them.
Overall this is a great place if you want your skin to look awesome!

I had the essential facial with Leslie about four weeks ago, and I’ve been using several Luxa products since then. I took advantage of their free skin consult one week before my appointment, and was able to prep my skin for the facial by using their Leveling Complex, which Leslie said would help soften the skin, remove surface impurities, and make it easier for the deep extractions during the facial.
Prior to the facial/​daily product use, my skin was dull and I had lots of clogged pores, especially on my forehead and nose. I don’t suffer from acne or breakouts, but I had done a lot of tanning in my teenage years, and my thirty-​something skin overall seemed a bit gray and lifeless. I’m prepping for a wedding in September and went to Fix to help.
THE RESULTS: I think my skin looks *amazing*. The facial with Leslie was very relaxing and, at the same time, *very* thorough. She removed all of the gunk from my pores while still being mindful of how delicate facial skin can be, i.e. she paid attention to how my skin reacted to each step of the facial and tailored the next step to my individual needs. Immediately following my trip to Fix, I ran into a friend who remarked that I was «glowing;» I told her I had just left Fix, and she hightailed it into the studio to ask about their services!
I have also seen definite improvement through the use of the Luxa line. My skin tone has evened out, the fine lines around my eyes are fading (I think because of the AHA-​filled Leveling Complex?), and there’s a serious healthy glow happening. I think it looks so healthy, that I’ve been skipping mascara/​eyeliner altogether because my skin is stealing the show.
Anyway, all this to say: if you have the luxury of a little extra money to spend and you’re looking for healthy skin, GO SEE LESLIE AT FIX STUDIOS!

I purchased products from their Luxa line, which I enjoyed for the most part. However the Skin Food made me and my roommate both breakout in acne. When I emailed both representatives about it, neither replied (however both were very prompt in emailing when I wanted to BUY products).
Love: moisturizer, oil cleanser, body soap, lavender body cream, honey exfoliator
Dislike: customer service, skin food

Leslie saved my skin. I moved into the neighborhood and went there for a clear complexion facial to check it out, and I asked her suggestions on what I could do. I had mild acne and just general redness — the frequent multitude of small pimples on my forehead or chin and occasional big pimples too. It just felt like I had no control.
She gave me tons of useful and practical suggestions tailored to my skin, and I left with a few samples of Luxaskin products. Within a month, my skin looked and felt noticeably better. The ONLY cleanser I use is the deep cleansing facial oil, and it is amazing. I love the purifying facial moisturizer, clinical resurfacing fluid, fruit enzyme mask (and supreme skin food now that I live in New York). It’s been more than a year since I first went there, and I’ve since moved away, but I continue to order Luxaskin products online and only use their products on my face. With the resurfacing fluid and mask, I can basically give myself a facial, with Leslie’s great recommendations on how to use the products for my face!
I also love the mineral powder (I only wear mascara and a dusting of minerals).
Their bikini waxes are also great (as great as something like that could be) — no redness and relatively painless.

This was my first time getting a facial and it was more then I could have asked for. It was amazing. From The moment you step foot into Fix you enter your relaxation. The ambiance is peaceful, clean, and at the same time hospital like without the phobia. LESLIE is the best ! She educates you and soothes you at the same time. I never realized many steps went into the cleansing of the face ! And the shoulder massage to end it off ! Priceless !
My skin feels youthful and I can’t wait to try the products she recommended. I think I’m hooked and can’t wait for my next visit.

I adore Fix Studios! I’ve gone twice now for a facial and Leslie is amazing. Before this, I’d always left facials with my skin and red and inflamed — not here! I feel like my skin looks amazing when I leave and the entire experience is so relaxing.
Leslie is a skin expert and I felt like she was tailoring the experience to my unique skin combination. I also love their line of products, LuxaSkin. I’m hooked on the cleansing oil and I’ve just gotten the new evening, toning beauty bar. Leslie recommended the mask with fruit enzymes to me the last time I was there to help even out my skin (I still have some scars from adult acne), and it smells amazing… kind of like chocolate.
I haven’t ever had waxing done here before, but based on the reviews, I should try out their eyebrow wax soon.

I love Fix Studios! I’ve been a client for over a year and my skin is oh so thankful. While my skin is still far from perfect, had it not been for the treatments I’ve received and continue to receive, it probably would have been worse off today. For facials and clinical peels, I highly recommend Leslie — she’s very knowledgeable and sweet, but don’t pick your face before a treatment because she will notice! I appreciate her tips and honesty. I love their in-​house products, with my favorites being the fruit enzyme mask, clearing serum, and the supreme skin food moisturizer. Go to Fix Studios, you will love them!

Had a great experience here with Leisa. She’s very competent.

I have adult acne, especially bad on my neck and back. It’s tough to find a salon that can deal with it. I’ve tried in 3 cities. Leslie was amazing. Better than any of the dermatologist office treatments I’ve had. My skin looked better than ever and it is still clear two weeks later. I will be a regular.

Great accidental find one day when I was trying to book a facial last min on a Friday night for a Saturday appointment. I’ve see this place several times while having coffee at Four Barrel and always thought to myself, «what an unfortunate location for a retail shop». Turns out, it’s not a clothing store!
You can book appointments directly online, which I find extremely convenient while I’m on the go. The staff was warm and friendly, and my skin and eyebrows looked great after. I was mostly surprised at how great their products are– I don’t normally allow myself to get talked into buying product, but I purchased some sunscreen and cleansing oil, and absolutely love both. I highly recommend the sunscreen.
Stoked to have found this place, can’t wait to go back!

Fix is an awesome studio. Plain and simple. But Leslie is the best. I will never let anyone else touch my brows or my skin. I love deep extractions. Really deep. And Leslie is not afraid to get in there and get that gunk out! The amazing part is that I never leave the studio red. Not even pink. She has magic hands. I love fix!

leslie is an unequivocal perfectionist… i would never let another soul on this planet touch my eyebrows (no, i am not being dramatic and in fact have never allowed another). the service is impeccable and if leslie offered said services in the basement of HA-​RA i would rate the same. but, as it turns out… she offers her «services» elsewhere…
they’ve designed and created a space that alone is worthy of your visit. it is so well done and so aesthetically pleasing if you are getting waxed, you won’t even mind the torture you endure while there (now i am being dramatic). the studio is stunning without feeling the least bit contrived… the lighting is gorgeous, the wallpaper glorious (yep, still going with not contrived), the wooden floors sublime… it really is beautifully thought out and all of the details follow suit. I cannot recommend Leslie (and really anyone working there) highly enough.
oh and as either as a top selling point or bonus, they use organic wax, cloth instead of wasteful paper for waxing strips, towels, and have developed and packaged their own (sublime!) line of organic skin care products… one could go on and on extolling the glories that are fix studios; unfortunately i haven’t the attention span to do them justice.
the takeaway: it’s a sure thing thru and thru…

Great place amd customer service :) they make their own lip tint and can make a special powder make up bland to match your tone perfectly. I get my eye lashes tinted there and love love love it. No burn or anything and last for about a month :). And I bought the lip tint and gotta say its pretty amaxing. Also, their receptionist/​front desk girl is simply adorable and super helpful and sweet :)

This place is incredible. They have amazing products and they take great care doing their services. I never thought I’d be someone who’d get a facial every 6 weeks, but here I am – I am addicted. Cheri is incredible and professional, and makes my face feel and look amazing. I feel so refreshed and relaxed after a visit here… it seriously changes my whole week. Besides – they really do a great job — my face looks noticeably better for at least two weeks after! Even my boyfriend noticed the difference! I think the facials for what you get are completely worth the price. Most places in the area cost the same anyways.
Also on Bobbie J’s tip, I got my eyelashes dyed. Best 35 dollars I’ve spent in a long time. My eyes look incredible. Totally going back for that alone. I’ve had my eyebrows and lip waxed here, and though it was pricy– they really did do a great job. I’d recommend this place to anyone and everyone! Also – everyone who works here, especially the women who works the front desk – is incredibly sweet and friendly!

Let me speak directly to my fair-​haired ladies out there…
Are your eye-​lashes blonde, light brown, or red? Do you hate to put on eye make-​up, when you are rushing to get out of the house? Well I do, too! But, my fair dolls, there is an answer: have Leslie give you an eyelash tint at Fix Studios! From the minute you walk out, to 3 – 4 weeks later, everyone will say the same thing to you: YOUR EYES LOOK AMAZING!
For 3 – 4 weeks, all you have to do is curl them — or not even!
Just try it — you’ll love it. Not to mention that this salon is awesome, and yadda yadda — you can read that from all the other reviews.
My fair sisters — just try it — you’ll like it!!! You significant other, or your next date, will too. This is the best $ 35 bucks I have spent on myself in ages. Tip is in cash only here, so bring your $ 6 in cash, ladies. The rest, you can put on that debit card.
Plus, who doesn’t love an awesome local business, run by cool people.
Let me end with a final haiku:
— — — — — — — — — — –
Eyelash tinting — WHAT?
I know, I felt the same way
Spend your money here

This place is AMAZING. Mary Leigh is absolutely fantastic and incredibly talented. She’s a beautiful, wonderful person and flat out spectacular at what she does. She’s got great taste in music, she’ll make you feel at ease, and is so easy to talk to. The woman is a master of her art. I recommend her to anyone interested in esthetic treatments.
Oh and shout out to Nickie at the front desk. She is a really nice girl, helpful and has great vibes.
p. s. Lauren V: Very cute post. I wholeheartedly agree.

Words cannot do justice to how much I love this place, and Leslie, but I will try!
I had terrible acne for 20 years and had been on Accutane 4 times, seen numerous aestheticians and dermatologists, and just couldn’t shake the disease. Leslie’s gentle, healing hands and the absolutely brilliant products she makes with her partner, Lysa, changed my life. I never thought it would be possible to have skin that was completely clear, let alone dewy, soft, and evenly pigmented. I’ve never felt better about my complexion, and that means a lot to a person who would shudder when she saw her reflection in the mirror for almost 2 decades. Moreover, their products are largely comprised of natural extracts and organic ingredients, so you don’t have to stress about overloading your system with toxic, synthetic crap. RUN to Fix!

Bön attendez vous à dépenser quelques euros en plus de votre soin habituel.
Mais ici c’est tout comfort. L’accueil est classe, le soin aussi, tous les produits sont faits maison, d’une très grande qualité, on s’est occupée de moi avec beaucoup d’élégance, un professionnalisme extrême. Mon épilation était parfaite, irréprochable, ma peau était douce, pas irritée, bien hydratée.
Vraiment une excellente adresse.
