Glow By Carey

After having a previous nightmare of a wax a few years back, I was very nervous about waxing again. Carey is truly amazing and made my 2^nd experience with waxing amazing. I got a Brazilian and underarm wax and it was very tolerable! She is so gentle and really helps make the experience as painless as possible. I will definitely be a repeat customer of hers :) Highly recommend!!!

Best in Columbus. I am so impressed and appreciate to Carey! My eyebrows are shaped the way they should be and I love it!

Carey is a complete professional from start to finish! She makes you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the entire procedure. I have been getting waxes done for years at many different places all over the city of Columbus but no one has made it as painless or even enjoyable the way that Carey does. Do not go anywhere else but Glow by Carey!

Carey is THE BEST. She is patient, professional, and fast. By far the best waxing experience I have had. I’ve been a regular customer for over a year and will continue to be for many more!!!

I never knew getting hair removed could be so fun, pleasant & professional. I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again, she has hands of an angel!!! I love Carey!!! And don’t just stop with her hair removal services. Her facials are better than any massage I’ve ever had. No joke! I’m so lucky that I’ve found her. She’s so good that it’s hard to get time with her, so ladies, get organized & plan your schedules accordingly & in advance!

I love Carey! I have had two Brazilian waxes with her and have had no ingrown hairs, little to no skin irritation, and it is by far the least painful waxing I have ever had. It was literally like a bandaid. She is professional and makes you feel very comfortable, and the price is quite reasonable.

I’ve been looking for a place that will help me rectify my interest in waxing (mostly based on my annoyance related to shaving), my super sensitive skin, and my budget. Unilocal,you did me right once again!
I’d read all of the glowing (pun intended) reviews, and I was very interested. I decided to make an appointment. I found the online scheduler on Carey’s website, and scheduled an appt for a Tuesday during my lunch break.
I had about a month to wait (Carey told me during my appointment that scheduling with her is a lot easier and has more availability than the online system) and I freaked myself out a little. I was thinking to myself, «Oh goodness, I’m going to come back from this appointment and be in so much pain! I’m going to have to sit with an ice pack in my lap and try and think of a creative explanation if anyone asks me…» Luckily, that was not the case!
I received an appointment reminder in my e-​mail and the reminder had very clear instructions on where to park and how to get to her specific office, which I really appreciated. When I walked in (a couple of minutes later than intended — thanks, construction) Carey greeted me promptly.
We talked a little bit about what to expect and she helped to calm my nerves. I told her that I was nervous, but excited! Carey was very friendly and open, and I felt like I could really talk to her.
The process itself wasn’t painless, but it was a lot better than I expected! Carey is a true professional. She talked me through everything and made me feel really comfortable (as comfortable as I could possibly feel!)
Afterwards, Carey offered me an exfoliating towel that would help with avoiding ingrown hairs. I purchased that and paid my bill. She has a square machine, which is nice, because it calculates the tip options for you.
I went back to work after my appointment and felt no pain whatsoever. I know from friends who have this process done that they’re taking advil before their appointment, using ice packs for days… I had none of that! I was so pleased with how great I felt afterwards. I had some post-​waxing redness and bumps but, because Carey had prepped me so well, I knew what to expect and how to handle it. I’m very pleased with my results!
I have already made my next appointment and, as an added perk, each time you go is discounted. The Unilocal reviews were all right; I’d definitely recommend paying Carey a visit, even if you have sensitive skin like me!

I recently had my first appointment with Carey (a facial). I was a little late for my appointment but she was so sweet and accommodating. I am not the kind of person that normally likes to splurge on facials on a regular basis but I am so pleased with Carey that I will be going to her for regular facials going forward in order to get my skin in prime condition for my wedding next summer.

Carey was wonderful! She was super professional and made me feel
Comfortable.
She did an amazing job and I love the shape she gave my eyebrows. I love the all natural products she uses. I wasn’t uncomfortable at all and the redness went away quickly.
Highly recommend!

I was so nervous for my first wax, and Carey was amazing. How she can make you you feel so comfortable, doing something so uncomfortable, is a real talent! She was friendly, professional, and the results were amazing.
I highly recommend Carey, and I’ll be going back!
Thanks again, Carey!

I cannot say enough amazing things about this brilliant, lovely, energetic and kind woman! She made me feel like an absolutely glowing, blushing, and beautiful bride, and for that I will always be eternally grateful!
I first met her about five months before my wedding and I was so nervous about my wedding make-​up. Carey calmed me down immediately, set my fears aside and vowed to work with me until I was 100% satisfied with the end result. She did just that and more. I have a ton of allergies and my skin is extremely sensitive, but Carey didn’t back down from the challenge and worked with me.
I had an allergic reaction to a product we used during my first consultation. Carey was so apologetic it almost broke my heart. She immediately offered to do another consultation free of charge. Carey was able to pinpoint what she thought I was allergic to and I did not have a reaction after our second meeting.
Day of Carey again blew me away. She was thrown an extra bridesmaid makeup at the last minute and handled it like an absolute professional. Even with the additional make-​up to be done, she was still done with my makeup BEFORE the time when I needed to be ready. The woman is a saint!
All in all, Carey is phenomenal, and I would recommend her for all things make-​up related.

I live in Morgantown, WV, and still am willing to make the 4 hr drive to Columbus to have Carey take care of all my waxing needs. Her eyebrow tinting changed my life after many years of nearly invisible blonde eyebrows, and her brazilian is sanitary and spotless. Don’t hesitate to book your first appointment (s) with her, and many more!

I visited Carey early last month before traveling to celebrate my anniversary. Of course, I wasn’t interested in spending 7 days in Mexico having to worry about shaving and keeping that area neat. So I decided to try Carey. Let me just say, I had never had a bikini wax let alone a Brazilian. Completely terrified as I was, I decided if I’m going to go through with it, I might as well go to someone who seems to have the best rep in town. Enter Carey! She was extremely professional, personable, and reassuring. She walked me through every phase and made sure I was completely comfortable. She even gave me a big congratulatory hug afterwards for making it through my first Brazilian like a boss! It was quick and honestly, not NEARLY as bad as I thought it would be. And I’m definitely going back.
TRUST THE REVIEWS! She’s amazing.

Cary is the best! Makes you feel comfortable, very clean and relaxing environment, and easy to make an appointment.

Awesome. My «girl» looks awesome!!! Alright ladies, I’m very picky on who waxes me and would whether go «wild» than just let anyone touch me and Carey is the best! I recently moved to Columbus from Chicago and I read everyone’s review and trust, this place is IT!!! The place is clean, good waxing product, and she never reuse sticks in wax!
Carey is very professional and has great personality, I had to make myself a standing appointment, I found my new wax lady!
Okay, I did have to sort myself out at the address; so to help those interested in location, it’s behind building, down second set of stairs door 5 I think?! A lot of business there including yoga

I just relocated to the Columbus area from Michigan about a month ago and I was a bit nervous about going to someone new for a Brazilian. I consider myself a loyal customer and when I find a place that I like… well I don’t change easily. With that being said… There’s not much to add that hasn’t been said in previous reviews!
Carey was very professional but she still made me feel comfortable and relaxed. (As relaxed as you can be during a Brazilian…) Typically I would be in pain for at least one day after getting waxed. But after my session with Carey I was in absolutely no pain! I would recommend Carey to anyone looking for professional wax services.

Three weeks ago I visited Carey for waxing services… I am just now pulling out the razor. Talk about a good waxing!
Carey is very nice, funny, and made the time go by quickly. She made me feel very comfortable and I look forward to returning.

I’ve been getting waxed for the past 7 yrs at a top spa in NYC that specializes in brazilians. As a customer I’m probably the worst kind just because I’m very picky. I analyze everything from the initial greeting to the look and feel of my skin the next day.
Now 5 months pregnant living in Columbus I’m even more cautious about who I see. I met Carey for the first time today. She is by far one of the best estheticians I’ve ever been to. She was very welcoming, gentle, professional, sanitary and fairly priced. She used natural products to soothe my skin and her technique was much gentler than I’ve ever experienced. My brazilian only took 15mins, but it felt longer because I enjoyed talking with her so much.
I highly recommend anyone looking for a great wax and overall experience visit Carey. Even if you’ve never been waxed or had a bad experience elsewhere at least visit her once. She’s worth it!

After my stylist moved away… I had a hell of a time finding someone I could trust to do my eyebrows! I had an awful experience at a salon that is now closed (surprise!) and until Carey came heavily recommended, I had been nervous about finding someone new.
Well, now I drive all the way from New Albany just for Carey :) I will happily pass her card off to friends. She is warm, inviting, open and sweet. Carey made me feel really valued as she made accommodations to meet me on my first appointment. She does a great job with my eyebrows, figured out what I wanted after my first visit and even gave me some tips on how to fill in my brows every day.
For an honest, experienced aesthetician with exceptionally reasonable prices (seriously, for this girl’s quality of work!) I highly recommend Glow by Carey!
(Also, the facilities are gorgeous at Studio Elements!)

I had a great experience with Carey. I love the small (er) salon experience with a business owner in business for themselves– none of this pack ‘em in, get ‘em out pace as with larger salons in this area.
Being pampered by one’s surroundings is important for waxing and skincare, sure, but Carey includes another key aspect: her personality is so comforting! She’s easy to talk to, and (especially for something like waxing), the instant-​rapport is invaluable.
Besides her speed, friendliness, and overall good-​vibes, Carey is also available for appointment when many other salons and services are not! Girls (and guys!) take note: you CAN get a Sunday or Monday appointment! Which is good– because I Sunday is a great day for less glamorous services such as waxing or a thorough facial (Legally Blonde 2, anyone?).
I also really appreciate Carey’s passion for her products. She had lots of information on all the products she uses– including her wax. I definitely got the feeling I was experiencing products that she thoroughly researched and had experience with. None of that mystery-​gunk for wax! She used a lovely soy-​based type, which is increasingly becoming a demand of mine.
I truly felt as though thought and care went into everything Carey did. She even suggested tinting my eyebrows to help minimize some sparse spots on my brows. As a blonde, I wouldn’t have thought of this, but it looked subtle and great– even hiding my sparse patches in my arches.
I’m looking forward to booking a facial!
