I visited Ellaqua today for the first time. If I could give Ellaqua and Tiffany 10+ stars, I would. Tiffany is a true artist; and she takes the time to truly put love and care into her work. I never felt rushed at all at Ellaqua, as I have at other med spas or with other injectors.Tiffany’s personality is warm and amazing. She is genuine, caring, patient, and listens. She is truly gifted at Aesthetics. Tiffany fulfilled my vision exactly how I wanted.The Elllaqua suite is pristine, comfortable, and beautiful. I would highly recommend Ellaqua and Tiffany to all of my family and friends. I recommend to anyone reading this review that you go to Ellaqua asap too. I’m beyond happy with my results and my experience today. Thanks so much Tiffany, for your gorgeous and talented work.
