Argaia Salon De Beaute
I was a client of Mrs. Bentz (Monica) during several days of visits over the holidays 2007. As a gift, I was given quite a number of services. I was immediately impressed by Monica's beautiful engaging smile and non-invasive, yet personable, demeanor. She made me feel right at home. Her conversation was either educating or lightly appropriate and never made me feel as if I were being asked for a 30 minute review of my life, like so many cosmetologists, or masseuse do. There was clear evidence that Monica was focused on my needs, desires and comforts, so that she could provide me with a truly memorable experience. I find this to be the consummate professional and greatly appreciate finding a service provider with this attitude level.
Another very satisfying aspect to my visit was the way Monica showed tremendous skill and knowledge of her craft. This is the absolute hook that keeps me coming back time and time again. After hearing my needs & wants and taking an assessment of my skin and health, she was able to create several custom treatments for me, which made my skin feel and look better than I had ever seen it AND; she did this using fresh all natural ingredients, something that is very important to me.
One of my services was what I like to refer to as a "full body" waxing. I had everything except my head and back waxed. I was extremely anxious about the Brazilian portion of the waxings, but again, Monica was such a professional that my fears and tremblings faded right away. I should add that this was the first time I experienced waxing without skin irritation and issues.
I highly recommend Monica to anyone and I fully intend to frequent her services, indefinitely. I have never had a better esthetician, or cosmetologist. I have been to many high service salons, but none have given me the level of service and professionalism that Monica provided. If you visit her, I am sure you will be hooked too. Ask for an organic fruit mask!
