Vandana Is amazing!! This place is a gem, I called the same day and got right in. I was nervous as always trying a new place can be nerve racking especially receiving a Brazilian. But she makes you feel comfortable instantly. The most painless experience, thank you Vandana. You’re amazing and your energy is awesome ?? you rock
I got a lash lift and tint along with an eyebrow service here, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! My lashes and brows look amazing—even without any makeup. The place is clean, comfortable, and has a really nice atmosphere. The service was professional and friendly, and the price was very reasonable for the quality. Highly recommend! Here is my photo without any make up on!

I got a Hydrafacial done with Dermaplaning before a vacation and everyone was complimenting my skin for weeks! Mary at Aloria in Troy is amazing, can’t wait for my next appointment!
I love this place so much, Angelina keeps my face glowing and is so good in what she does. I will definitely be coming back! Also Alana who works front desk is so sweet, I love the people there(:
Janie is an incredibly talented artist!! My micro blading before and after pictures speak for themselves… Just had my first yearly touch up and Janie was amazing as always!

Such a beautiful, bright and welcoming space! So excited to have them nearby in Troy!
My experience at Aloria’s has been exceptional! Angelina has been wonderful to work with. She is an effective listener, communicator, and professional! She answered all my question and educated me along the way. I highly recommend!
I’ve been seeing Mary Abro since July 2021 and the knowledge I have learned has helped me to create a routine that benefits my skin goals. Mary has educated me on how to care for my skin like weekly exfoliating and using masks. I’ve had all the products already I just didn’t use them consistently to be effective. My redness has dismissed and breakouts rarely occur. I learned I was under using my moisturizer, not drinking enough water, and could exfoliate more. After implementing all the tips and tricks Mary shared I love my skin more and I’m not afraid to go out barefaced. I have more of a glow and a hydrated look since I had my skin health a priority. So, happy to have Mary as my Aesthetician and looking forward to my ongoing facials????
Vandana is very knowledgeable on different services and excellent at threading!
Edit: I wrote this review in August 2021... I didn't have to get my brows redone until January 2022.. And even then, they were not terrible. I could have waited a few more months if I wanted. After following Aloria Skin Care on Instagram for 2 years (per recommendation) I finally got my brows microbladed by Janie (Insta: ). They say you might experience mixed emotions for a few weeks, especially the first 1-4 days, because they do appear quite dark at first... But I do not... I am on day 6 and I am obsessed with them. They're amazing. They make me feel like a brand new person and my only regret is that I didn't do this years ago. It was quick, relatively painless (more annoying than anything), and Janie was super personable. I can't wait to see the final outcome after my 6 week touch-up. My skin is relatively dry so I may only have to do touch-ups once per year which would be even more amazing. Once I figure out how to post a picture I will. lol.
Vandana is accommodating and delivers services to make the customer happier! I
I saw Janie for my microblading and she did a phenomenal job! My brows look fuller! I love them! I recommend Janie to everyone & I will be coming back for touch ups :)
I have been going to Vandana at her old dayspa for many years now for all my Beauty needs.. she’s very professional and knows what she’s doing.. looking forward to visiting this new medspa and would highly recommend this place to everyone
After six months of watching Janie’s posts of her microblading work on Instagram I dove I and made an appointment. My case was challenging as I had no brow hair at all. This did not faze Janie. She took measurements, studied my facial structure, and then created brows that look full and natural. For the first time I don’t have to worry about my brows coming off in a pool or at a salon at the wash bowl. Lol. Janie is friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, and professional. Do yourself a favor and just book her. You won’t be sorry. Janie gave me a new lease on life.
Went to Aloria a couple times and booked with Angelina, some of the best facials i’ve ever gotten, left my skin glowing and so smooth. Also, really good customer service at the front, Alana was so sweet! Will definitely be going back!!
I LOVE MARY ?? She’s taking care of my skin for couple months now, and having problem with acne’s, her custom facials have made my skin look amazing. Somehow she managed to reduce my acne’s and inflammation so I recently had my first Microneedling treatment, and I’m loving the results. Can’t wait to go back for my second treatment. Please, see Mary, she will take care of you, no matter what. ??
I’ve been seeing Mary for laser hair removal. She has been wonderful! She has been informative and helpful. It has been easy to communicate with any questions I have and to make appointments. I highly recommend Mary at Aloria troy for laser hair.
Katrina microbladed my brows at the Troy location and I was beyond impressed with the service! She spent plenty of time walking me through the process and ensured that the products she would be using were one-time use. She was kind, professional and made the whole experience as enjoyable as it could be. I would definitely recommend Katrina for microblading and would visit Aloria for other skincare needs.
what an amazing experiance...I just had a facial and I feel so clean,relaxed and happy. Lady V was so nice and professional and with soft hands like an angel.I 100%recommend this place it deserves 5 stars thank you
Earlier today I have visited Aloria skincare in Troy location for the first time to visit Mary to do hydrafacial. Oh wow??! I can't tell you how clean fresh and glowing I feel. The products she used where speechless I have a very sensitive skin !! Thank you Mary, thank you Aloria skincare ????
If you’re considering getting your eyebrows micro bladed I highly recommend coming here to see Janie. She is extremely sweet and professional. She did an AMAZING job on my brows. They look so natural. She is truly an artist. Thank you, Janie!
Honestly i’ve never been to a place so professional and with great customer service, seriously i’m blown away with the treatment I received by Angelina, left the building GLOWING. I’m astonished and impressed with my facial! I highly recommend you stop by and get treated by one of the best there, Angelina!! Not only did i receive an excellent treatment but I received the most amazing customer care from the receptionist at the front desk, Alana! Not only is her personality so caring and loving, but having one conversation with her made my day! I highly recommend you guys go check out this place, you’ll never want to leave!!
Aloria is the best spa for microblading. I went to Janie and she is beyond amazing! She made me feel comfortable and my result was even better than I expected! Janie is a master microblader and it is definitely worth every penny!!
Coming to Aloria’s was a pleasant experience for me. My skin has never looked better all thanks to Angelina! She is very knowledgeable & she explained every step she was doing throughout my facial. Hands down best esthetician! Can’t wait for my next facial with her!
Getting laser hair removal done here, it’s been a great experience!
Body waxing is a way of removing unwanted hair from different parts of the body. As the name suggests, full body waxing removes unwanted hair from all parts of your body. You must visit a reputed salon for a full body waxing service. Visitors can schedule an appointment by visiting the salon physically. Alternatively, you can call and schedule a visit according to your convenience. The steps for full body waxing have been included in the following section.
1. At first, the waxing application will be applied to your body. You can choose different types of applicators, and the overall service cost depends on the type of applicator.
2. You need to wait for a few minutes after applying the applicator. It takes anywhere between 10 and 30 minutes.
3. The waxing expert at the salon will pull the applicator stuck on your skin. The experience can be a little painful if you undergo a waxing service for the first time.
Body waxing is a commonly sought-after service at salons. Both men and women can undergo waxing, though women mostly love waxing to remove unwanted hair to look more attractive. Typically, a professional salon offers different types of waxing services. You may have heard about Brazilian and Hollywood waxes among those types of waxes. Find a comparison below between these two types of waxing techniques.
1. In Brazilian waxing, a strip of hair will not be removed. On the other hand, Hollywood waxing removes all unwanted hair.
2. Both waxing techniques use similar applicators. However, Hollywood waxing has been done on the backside too.
3. Aftercare for both these waxing techniques is the same. You should not wear tight dresses after waxing to avoid skin irritation.
So, Hollywood and Brazilian waxing techniques have some differences and similarities. You can visit a local salon and obtain a professional waxing service from an expert.
Waxing is a commonly sought-after service, while many people also prefer to do it at home without professional assistance. However, you need an expert if you want a waxing that prevents unwanted hair regeneration in the next 6-7 months. Experts use various advanced techniques and waxing applicators to ensure a satisfying service to their clients.
1. In both cases, you will find that a wooden spatula has been used for applying the waxes. Hard waxes are applied by leaving an extra edge.
2. The consistency of the hard wax is thicker than strip wax. The stripe wax's consistency is similar to the consistency of maple syrup.
3. Hard waxes are applied a little warmer on the skin so that the heat can open up hair follicles. You will experience mild heat with the strip wax.
4. Hard wax is lesser painful than strip waxes, though aftercare is crucial for hard waxing. Many people encounter skin irritation after hard wax removal.
Looking beautiful involves many struggles. For example, the waxing body makes you more attractive, though it comes with pain. Many people feel skin irritation and burning sensation after undergoing full-body or partial waxing. However, you can reduce the pain to some extent by following the tips discussed below.
1. You need to reduce body acidity to reduce waxing pain quickly. For example, you must avoid smoking and alcohol consumption after waxing.
2. Many people use ice to numb painful areas after waxing. However, this is malpractice, and it can lead to skin tightening. Therefore, the pain after waxing stays for a long time.
3. Trying waxing at home can be more painful than trying it with an expert's assistance. So, you need to visit a salon to obtain a waxing service.
4. Avoiding sensitive body parts is also a good way of reducing waxing pain. For example, you can omit the private parts of your body to avoid waxing pain.
Who doesn’t prefer having hairless and flawless skin? These are among the common salon wax services. But choosing the wax depends on skin and health conditions.
Types of Body Wax for Waxing:
1. Soft Wax: It is also strip wax, perfect for arms, legs and back. It is the common type of waxing service that clients ask for.
2. Hard Wax: It is for sensitive areas like the bikini area, underarms and lips. It also binds to hair and not skin.
3. Fruit Wax: If you have sensitive skin, this is the one that nourishes the skin right.
4. Sugar Wax: It is a traditional form of hair removal. It has lemon, hot water and sugar. Sugar can pull out hair from roots, so it attaches to hair, not skin.
5. Chocolate Wax: It is mainly the antioxidant and chocolate properties that benefit the skin.
When planning to get professional beauty services, waxing is a common one. Whatever you wish to do with body hair, it is preferable to ask for professionals’ help. Unfortunately, not all salons can provide comfortable waxing services. So, know the details before you opt for it.
List of Popular Waxing Services:
1. Bold Eyebrows: Clear edges and high arches are popular in eyebrow shapes. The aim is to lift and contour facial features. It requires professional shaping.
2. Bikini Wax: It is also Brazilian wax and is a hair removal process from the bikini area. It is better to ask for the service from an expert professional who can offer comfortable service.
3. Underarms: It is a simple one that requires waxing of a small area. With this, clients can enjoy it for 3 to 4 weeks before they again think of the service
4. Manzilian Wax: It is the men’s version of Brazilian wax.
There is an increase in below-the-belt-line wax among male clients these days.
Waxing can be quite a painful process for many, which is why one of the first questions clients ask is how long it will last. To be precise, one waxing session's longevity can depend on many factors.
Firstly, you have to consider how often you get hair growth. Secondly, if your skin is more on the dry side or has an oily texture, the effects of waxing can usually last up to 6 weeks.
Nevertheless, this does not mean you will be hairless for 6 weeks. On the contrary, you can see new hair growth in as less as 3 to 4 weeks. While many believe it depends on the wax used, that is a misconception.
Both hard and soft wax has round about the same longevity. The difference shows when it comes to the smaller hairs. Hard wax is excellent at removing smaller hairs, giving you the impression that it is doing a better job.
Yes, it will grow back.
No, it doesn’t. Intake of healthy foods will grow hair thicker.
Waxing is often associated with dark and flaky skin. However, with newer methods and wax recipes in the market, this is not an issue anymore. People can get waxed and come out with rejuvenated and glowing skin afterward.
That said, out of the many different kinds of wax, knowing which one suits your skin the best is important for such results. On average, sugar waxing has been shown to enhance such skin properties, making it the best kind of wax, especially if you are looking for fair and glowing skin.
Sugar wax is made with lemon juice, sugar, and water, which can help your skin look shinier and softer. However, another way you can ensure that you get softer, fairer skin after using sugar wax is by using a milder soap. Using a harsh soap will roughen your skin, making it dryer and flakier. Also, consider moisturizing after the session.
The main objective of Brazilian waxing is to remove all hair from the pubic region without harming the skin. Nevertheless, they can be quite painful, and it is best to have intricate knowledge about the wax used before you go in for the session.
While you will find professional estheticians using both hard and soft wax for Brazilian waxing, hard waxes are more comfortable. Hard waxes are a better choice in such situations since they can be applied a number of times. This help takes out hair that is too sparse or thin.
This also helps take out uneven or short hair. In addition, when you want to wax the bikini line, the hair there is much harder to grab. In such situations using hard wax can help as they get a hold of these unruly hairs quicker. These subtle benefits of using hard wax make it the more common choice in the industry.
Waxing styles can vary based on individual preferences, cultural trends, and geographic locations. Here are some of the commonly known and popular waxing styles:
Waxing is a popular and effective method of hair removal that can leave your skin smooth and hair-free for weeks. However, not all waxing salons are created equal. Some waxing salons may offer a better service, experience, and result than others. So, how do you choose the best waxing salon for your needs? Here are some factors that make the best waxing salons stand out from the rest:
