I LOVED my experience at Crave with Courtney! I would have left a five star review but the room I had a body treatment in has 2 beds and a see through curtain and someone came into the room (the part I was in) for supplies while I was having a treatment. More privacy would be good in those situations. Everything else was awesome!

Kayte did such an amazing job on my nails. She was very detailed with her work and I appreciate her explaining the process to me!

I went to crave beauty for facial last Saturday. I specifically went to, Tiara Willis. Who offered me one amazing experience for a facial. From the warming blanket, to her very considerate touch. She was very educated, before each and every product she used, she explained what it was, what it does for the skin and even gave me the option of if I wanted it or not. She gave quiet time and a comforting space to really enjoy one of the best facials I’ve gotten in a very long time and the best nap! I can’t wait to see where she ends up !
