Editorial Review for Eve – by Rebecca Braverman
The Scene
You shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Or, for that matter, a spa by its exterior. Eve's facade may be nondescript, but a faithful mix of locals, walk-ins and the occasional celeb packs this little salon on weekends and after work. A friendly front desk keeps the pace moving, without making spa-goers feel rushed.
The Services
Top-notch (read: super-speedy, thorough and nearly pain-free) waxing is Eve's main game; the clever "Date Wax" package bundles together a Brazilian and a brow wax for the perfect pre-date primp. Manicures and pedicures (from basic to "Forbidden Fruit") are top-notch, and better than some you'll pay more for elsewhere. Facials range from the fast to the luxurious; try the 30-minute "Escape" if you're in a rush, or commit to "80 Minutes in Eden" and leave with an undereye area free of dark circles and puffiness.

I have had about 5 brazilian waxes and two of them at eve, i was dissapointed by my wax the first time, but i decided to go back and give them another shot. The second was worst than the first. I do not put myself thru that much pain for it to grow back in 10 days. these should last 6-8 weeks but because Maya does not pull most of the hair out by the root, half of it grows back and half of it wont grow back for 6-8 weeks. A brazilian at eve is very expensive and i think it is ridiculous that maya breaks the hair instead of pulling it out, i could get the same result from shaving. I have decided to never go back there, except maybe to show them how stupid my wax looks when half of it is growing back after 10 DAYS! There is also no privacy, the rooms are very very small and Maya will just come in the room while you are exposed.. no paper dress, no curtain, just you in a very small room, very exposed.
Pros: close to my house
Cons: bad value, wax begins to grow back in 7 days because of unskilled staff

I've been going to Eve for bikini waxes for 2 years. I went based on a friend's recommendation of Yola (who recently left). My first few experiences were pretty good. One time the woman doing my wax kept "evening" her lines, taking more and more hair. The end result was having much more hair removed than I had asked for. All in all the service is pretty good... short wait time, fast wax and generally pleasing results. My biggest complaint in the past was how long I was kept on hold (EVERY TIME I CALLED) when trying to make an appointment. I called today and got a voicemail message saying they were on the other line and would call back. I left my name & phone number. An hour later, I called another salon, made an appointment for my lunch hour, paid HALF what Eve charges for a bikini wax, and was on my way. Several hours later, the staff from Eve has still not returned my call. The waxes are pretty good, although they are pretty pricey. The manicures are GREAT-- afordable and durable, mine lasted over a week! If you're ok with the price and you can get through to make an appointment, I've always been happy with the results. To me it's not worth it.
Pros: great manicures, good bikini wax
Cons: staff does not call you back, keeps you on hold for several minutes, high price for bikini wax
