I love, love, love Erma. She's gotta be about five-foot-nothing (she's quite petite), has flawless skin, a perfect slavic accent, and she always greets me at the door in her little white lab coat with a smile, no matter what I'm there for. And honestly, even when it's a brazilian wax, I smile back. Her technique is the best I've ever seen in a long history of brazilian waxes, and even on the few times I've gone there after >3 months of not waxing (e.g. it's all Wild Kingdom down there), it's been the most comfortable Brazilian ever -- and yet very thorough. I've had trouble with some other waxes just breaking the hair off below the skin, which gives me horrible ingrowns and even stubble, but the hard wax Erma uses has always left my skin very smooth. I can be back on the street after an eyebrow wax without any red puffiness, and I'm part Scottish!
Her facials have been godsends, too, and since I have very annoying dry, sensitive, wrinkle-and-break-out type skin, her help has made all the difference. Thanks, Erma!
