This was my very first facial. Lauren was really great. She explained what she was doing to my face as she did it. Making sure that I was okay throughout the experience. She was also able to point out some problem areas with my skin, and told me how to correct them. I loved the neck and shoulder massage too. I will definitely be making this my monthly indulgence. My skin feels amazing and I have this glow! Thank you Lauren!!
Cannot say enough good things about Lauren and Vanity Box Boutique. She has been doing my facials for about a year now and has completely transformed my skin for the better. The facial room itself is cozy and inviting, exactly what you want when youre looking to relax. If youre looking for someone who knows what will work for your skin, give Lauren a try!
What a wonderful treat to have an Anti-Aging Facial with Lauren. This was my first time at Vanity Box and wont be my last. Lauren is professional and kind and gave me a wonderful facial. I love that all the yummy products she uses and sells are vegan and cruelty free.She also helped me pick out a lovely “out of the box” lipstick color.Thank you Lauren for your commitment to advancing skin care without using products that test on animalsWendy
Pure luxury!!! I had the pleasure of getting my anti aging facial w/ Lauren and she is incredible!!! It was my first facial so I had no idea what to expect and she spent a full hour on my face! And even massaged my shoulders, arms and hands and my neck was part of the facial!Lauren gave me tips on my problem areas and took out my black pores on my nose and chin! She gave me free samples (that I’ll use after my shower tonight) and I purchased a skin friendly sun screen that really felt great on my face. The facial room is set up exactly like a massage room so that really added to the relaxation! Lauren is so nice and funny as well! What a great experience!!!
Lauren is absolutely wonderful. The vibe here is EVERYTHING.
Lauren is absolutely amazing at what she does. She made me feel so special and beautiful, you can tell shes very passionate about what she does. You can get a facial, makeup application and outfit for your special night out all in one place. Thanks again, Lauren! I will be a lifelong client!!
I highly recommend going to see Lauren for any facial needs. I got the acne facial and my skin feels/looks so amazing. She has great products for sale too. The boutique is so cute. I will definitely be returning for another facial soon!
I got my mother a facial as a gift at Vanitybox and she raved about the entire experience. From start to finish signing up for the appointment on the website was easy and Lauren, the owner, did a tremendous job. My mother felt she looked 10 years younger afterward! The store was also clean and Lauren had all kinds of useful beauty products that you cant find other places. All around a great value and experience!
Best experience ever! I received micro blading from MiMi who was an absolute dream. She took the time to ask me about my skin type and care routine and customized my after care regimen to accommodate me for the best results. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable but she was so welcoming and kind and really made the whole experience enjoyable.
A classy establishment with a very professional, knowledgeable and kind owner. Lauren always makes me look and feel fabulous. Ive been there several times and will continue to go back!
I had an amazing anti-aging facial today from Lauren the owner... she really gives attention to detail! Great place and products... I’ll definitely go back!
I found VB on a quick trip to Pgh and will definitely be back. Lauren is extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to addressing the specific needs of each client. Love supporting an innovative, small business owner who puts her heart into her work.
I went to Vanitybox Boutique for my first facial ever and boy it was wonderful! Lauren was very helpful in recommending what was best for my skin. The service was so relaxing and my skin felt great! I can’t wait to go back!
LOVED Vanity Box Boutique! As soon as you walk in the door the style of the Boutique is so cute. It is a very warming place and you want to stay! I surprised my mom with the Anti-Aging facial with Lauren and my mom absolutely loved it! It includes cleansing, exfoliation, mask, massage, and lasts an hour. Every second was worth it! There was a groupon online as well which made it even more amazing. My mom and I will certainly be coming back, and I recommend Lauren to everyone!!!
MIMI SLAYS BROWS: If you are considering microblading, Vanity Box is the place to go.I had been on the fence for a while about this procedure. My eyebrows are light in color and pretty sparse; I was so sick of filling them in after ten years. Eyebrows shape your whole face, so I was nervous that they would not turn out quite right and leave me looking like a fun-house villain. However, I decided that as long as I could find an artist that had a portfolio of great work, I would give it a go.... and I sure did.All aspects of this experience surpassed my expectations. When setting up my appointment, Mimi was very responsive and willing to work with my schedule. When I arrived, she was welcoming and informative about the process as well as aftercare. Her movements with the measuring tools and meticulous incisions proved to me that she has been doing this for a long time. We chatted during the procedure (which hurt, but not nearly as much as I was expecting!) and it was over before I knew it.My skin is currently red and glazed with ointment or else I would post a photo of her fabulous work. I am confident that when everything is healed, I will have eyebrows that dont need any makeup. I cant believe I didnt know about Vanity Box, but I am grateful that I do now. Im excited to go back for my six to eight week touch up and maybe a facial in the future!
Laurens shop is clean and beautiful. I had a facial and a lash lift, they were both amazing. I also bought some mineral powder foundation from the Jane iradale makeup collection, it is perfect!
I just had possibly the best facial of my life. Skincare is my favorite way to take care of myself and so I usually just put myself in the hands of the estheticians suggestions. Lauren guided me through the details of what she thought I needed and she was 100% on the money. My skin has never looked so beautiful after a facial. I received a dermafile and chemical peel and I feel like a new woman. Ill add, the setting was the most pleasant Ive ever been in for a spa experience. Very comfortable and relaxing, I didnt feel like I was in a doctors office. Also the greater Owen, has the nicest manners and the waggiest tail.
Definitely going back! Lauren was wonderful. Just had a dermablading session. I have never had dermablading and was a bit unsure of the procedure. Now I understand why everyone is raving about it! I have been glowing ever since my skin was so dry and now it’s literally glowing. Thank you Lauren and I’ll see you in 5 weeks!
I got a dermaplane facial, and my skin is glowing! Lauren was detail-oriented and provided a high-end spa experience.
I had a great experience at vanity box boutique! I got a discounted dermaplane facial on Groupon. I had never gotten any type of facial before and I was very impressed. My face is baby soft and my friend told me I could skip foundation because of how even and glowy my skin looked. I personally have very sensitive skin and I was expecting to walk out with a bright red face before I even went in to the shop but my skin was perfect! I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing experience and better, smooth skin.
The boutique offered some cool finds that my gf loved.
I stumbled across this low key gem shortly after its opening. Upstairs has everything from dresses, trendy purses, and staple jewelry. On the main level is Laura Mercier and jane iredale makeup, face washes, and facial lotions. The lower level is where the magic happens. A cave-like spa, the dark yet relaxing atmosphere entices you to fall asleep during Laurens famous facials that range in price from college student on a budget to a jet setting CEO. Any time I need my eyebrows shaped or my skin starts to misbehave, I know a wax or facial with Lauren will restore it to a healthy glow. Definitely recommend for both fashion and personal care and would highly recommend her services as a gift to yourself or someone you know who could use a little pampering.Parking is limited so mentally prepare to walk a block or two.
