"Emily has been helping me along my skin journey for years! She is so knowledgeable about each skin type and always offers multiple options for each skin care product she recommended for me. My skin has gone from bumpy, dry, and red to feeling hydrated, silky smooth and supple. She’s also been waxing my eyebrows for a very long time, always taking the time to be sure to know what shape I want. She is the best in the business and I recommend her to anyone that needs anything skin care/waxing!!"

The leg waxing and the facials are my favorite. She helps provide a comfortable place to be within and highly cares for the way the service results turn out. She practices her craft with ease and great skill.Thank you!"

"Emily Kruse has been my esthetician for the last five years! She opened her own studio, Obsidian Esthetics in Cedar Rapids. It is part of the House of Beauty. It is a beautiful, clean, clutter free, calming space. The estheticians there are very welcoming. Emily's knowledge and personality are so reassuring. The room is aesthetically pleasing, and created to relax the client. She made sure that I was comfortable every stop of the process. Emily spoke with me about the shape of my eyebrows, and carefully mapped out the desired shape. She paid so much attention to detail. The waxing was virtually painless. We also discussed what I could do to improve my thinning eyebrows. She recommended two other estheticians within the House of Beauty for micro-blading, Bekah and Lacey. Emily also tinted my eyebrows. It was not easy, as my eyebrows are very sparse. She worked with the tint until it looked precise and natural. It was so easy to book with Emily, and I am sure future bookings will be just as easy! I highly recommend Emily to anyone who wishes to bring out their inner beauty."
