Services
She has been a skin care professional since 2000, receiving her first license from the Illinois School of Electrology. After becoming a licensed esthetician she earned advanced training in European Skin Care Techniques. Carol has the distinction being one of the first eyelash stylists in the Seattle area and achieving advanced eyelash stylist certification through Xtreme Lash, which is only available to licensed estheticians and licensed nurses.
Carol is absolutely the best Eye Lash technician I have found. Even though the Salon is in her home, the environment is clean and quiet. I found her after getting a bad full set of Eye Lash Extensions from a federal way salon. She gently and patiently removed that bad lashes over a course of a few visits and applied "properly" a new set.
All Waxing methods used at Auburn Electrology & Skincare are safe and effective for all skin types. What are the benefits of waxing? Personal reasons, more hygienic, sports related benefits for athletes, improved appearance, eliminated stubble growth, enhanced muscle definition, smooth look & feel - to name a few.
Your eyes are one of your most valuable assets. If you have made the decision to get eyelash extensions, choosing an experienced and licensed professional should be a top priority. At Auburn Skincare we use only the highest quality, professional medical-grade eyelash adhesive coupled with expert level service, performed by Carol Ray, a Washington state licensed Esthetician who is Xtreme Lash Certified which is only available to Licensed Estheticians and Nurses who complete advanced training.

I have been seeing Carol for electrolysis since 2021. Her home-based business is very professionally run and organized. She has great communication and often checks in with her clients post treatment. She is very knowledgeable and good at what she does. Carol has a very sweet personality and truly loves making people look their best.

I have been seeing Carol for eyelashes for the better part of 8 years now. My eyelashes always look natural and she makes sure that they are done at a sustainable level that the extensions don't ruin my natural lashes. I highly recommend Carol as she is professional, her room is sanitary, comfortable and accommodating. She is knowledgeable, inclusive and welcoming.
She is always continuing her education and striving to be the best for herself and her clients. I have found a good friend in Carol after all this time and know she will work her best to do what's best for you as well.

Carol is the best. Not only are they the best quality lashes I have had, she truly cares about how you feel in them. Anytime I have reached out with a need she answers right away. I love the comfortability of her salon. Im beyond happy with my experience. Great ambiance and conversation too. I'm super glad to have found Carol!

Carol is the best! I have been seeing her now for several months for electrolysis and the results have been amazing. As a Trans Woman I had reached that stage in my transition where I needed electrolysis to look and feel better. The whiskers I had are now practically gone and the hairs that grow back are now few and far between and soft. I look and feel so much better and I owe it all to Carol.
Her salon is very hygienic and decorated nicely. I also do Brazilian waxing sessions and these have worked out great. After the waxing Carol applies an enzyme solution over the waxed area to treat the hair follicles so they don't grow back. She gives me a vial of this and for the rest of the day every hour I apply it. I've only had a few sessions but the results are looking good.
As I mentioned previously I am a Trans Woman and Carol is definitely a Trans Ally. She is such a sweetie! She is so sympathetic and understanding. I feel validated by her and I am completely at ease talking to her throughout the session like a couple of gal pals. Don't just take my word for it. Look up Auburn Electrology & Skincare on the web and read all the other positive reviews. You don't just want a professional doing this you want a wonderful human being taking care of you and Carol is both!

Carol is the best at what she does! As a woman coping with PCOS, the facial hairs had become super embarrassing. Electrolysis so far has significantly reduced or eliminated much of those pesky hairs. You can really tell Carol takes pride in her work. She's often just as excited as me in seeing the progress being made. She's also very kind and respectful. It was a relief to find someone like her who could help and where I felt zero embarrassment!

Carol is absolutely amazing. With not being sure the first time I went there that this was even going to help to walking out that same day knowing this is gonna be life changing. She makes you feel so comfortable and confident. After a couple session I really started to have full confidence that I have never had before.life changing experience.

Carol is extremely professional and knows what she is doing when it comes to electrolysis. She prepares you extensively by explaining everything about the process and what to expect. She is also very good at what she does. I'm very glad I found her. An added bonus is that her space is very welcoming and extremely clean

Carol is simply the BEST! I've been seeing her for eyelashes/brows and waxing for a couple years now. She is clean, professional, educated, talented and is also super fun to talk to. I've been to a lot of other places that felt awkward or uncomfortable, or I eventually became unhappy with the service, but that has never been the case with Carol. She does high-quality work consistently and my appointment days are always my favorite days. Go book her now!

I found this place about a year ago and I will never have anyone else do my lashes. Carol is phenomenal and takes the time to make sure my needs are met and everything looks perfect. I have very sensitive eyelids that can only handle a certain type of glue and she never forgets to use the right products on me. I just love her and recommend to everyone I know.

Discovered Auburn Electrology & Skincare about 10 years ago. I went here with a friend to get our first ever Brazilian. This salon is out of her home and the feel is very warm and welcoming. The room designated for her salon is large and extremely clean. She has definitely thought of every detail for her clients. I remember prior to covid, she had a basket of fidgets, massages, gum, candy, etc to make your experience more comfortable.
There is a bathroom that has different things to meet your needs (wipes, pads, whatever!) So far I have gotten her Brazilians, eye brow wax, and lash tint and lift. I have been in during covid and I appreciate all the cleanliness and safety precautions set in place. She does everything she can to keep both her clients and herself safe. Carol has a fun personality and is easy to talk to. Would definitely recommend!

I've been going with Carol for like about 3 times I think for a Brazilian wax, first time ever getting one, and I must say I'm so glad I came with her! She makes you feel so comfortable, and I'm a very anxious person so this is saying a lot. She gives you a bunch of great information for before your appointment and after as well, she is very sweet and accomodating! You definitely want to come with her :

Omg, how did I not know how awesome waxing could actually be!? Carol is such a great energy and uses the best products that really are no comparison to those I've experienced so far, all my life. I've tried so many things and can't believe how smooth my skin is after her waxing and how long the removal lasts. I've struggled with rapid regrowth and hair self-consciousness all my life.
This is a game/ life changer. I only wish I had known her sooner! P.s. there's no awkwardness with Carol either. even if she's gotta get all up in your business for a brazillion. No biggie, she's cool.

This is my first time getting a wax done professionally. I was expecting pain, awkwardness and uncomfortable but Carol was great. She was very welcoming, nice and friendly. She made me feel very comfortable and answered all of my concerns before we start the wax. The place was very cleaned, sanitized and organized. Yes, I recommend her and will definitely returned.

I got a Brazilian wax done here. I will definitely return, the owner is so sweet and made me feel comfortable and let me know what she was about to do before she did anything ( this was my first Brazilian wax ). If you are looking for any services that she offers here, I would say to check this out.

I've known Carol for a little over a year. Since the first time I walked into her place she made me feel so welcome and at peace! Carol is very friendly and professional, and her place is always sparkling clean. I highly recommend her for any of her services. As my 11 year Daughter says, "Carol is one of the nicest and sweetest people I ever met" and I couldn't agree more! ~Maria:

About six weeks ago I got my first ever Brazilian wax with Carol and went in today for my second. She has candies and chewing gum and plays funny tv shows to keep me distracted, but it's quick and rather painless. I love that I know I'm comfortable and in good hands in this situation. I don't think I'll ever go to anyone else for my waxing needs!

I love my lashes! They're very natural looking which is exactly what I was going for. I've had them done at other places and they were very false lash-esque and I had red painful eyes for weeks afterwards. I thought I couldn't have them at all because my eyes were too sensitive. I was wrong. Carol worked with me and is so attentive and thorough. Very careful to make sure you're happy. You get a genuine fun experience leaving happy and hooked!

My first visit with Carol was very rewarding. I had lost my regular lash lady to a new baby and had tried a fill with someone fairly new to the trade, thinking she would have all the latest and greatest tools. She was ok but my lashes felt heavy and too glam for a 65 year old. Carol has yeats of experience, listened patiently to my needs and in just one visit has me feeling and looking fabulous! Thanks Carol, see you again in 2 weeks!

I called Carol desperately in need of help for my lashes. She got me right in and got me on track to rebuilding my own lashes and picking the correct extensions for me. She is so sweet and kind. Her studio is very clean and organized. Her chair is amazingly comfortable (so comfortable I end up napping most of the visit). I recommend Carol 100%. She is the best!

Over the years seeing Carl for my regular waxes she has become my friend. She's full of knowledge with anything from skincare to relationships, I'm sure she could be considered a therapist. Lol. She is always able to work me in with my busy schedule. If you are worried about the pain or anything, carol will find a way to make you comfortable. There is no doubt you will look forward to coming back to see Carol time and time again.

All I can say is that Carol is an AMAZING miracle worker! I came to her for eyelash extensions and I am SO SO SO happy that I did! She is extremely knowledgeable, experienced and thorough. She took the time to explain to me exactly what she was going to do and she even showed me "after" pictures of what my eyes would look like but I honestly did not think it was possible for me.
Well let me tell you, she surpassed my expectations! My eyelash extensions look amazing and so natural. All my friends and family keep telling me are things like "you look so pretty today" or "your eyes look so bright and happy" which makes me feel good because no one has figured out I got extensions which means that's how amazing and natural they look! If you are even considering extensions DO IT! Book with Carol, you WONT regret it!

I have been going to Carol for eyelash extensions for a few years. My experience has been wonderful. Carol is so professional and does an amazing job. I have heard horror stories from friends that have been other places and I am so thankful I have never experienced that with Carol. She is so thoughtful and caring. She takes the time to make sure my eyelashes are perfect every time.
She is extremely accommodating if you need to make an appointment change and is always willing to work with you. I love that she sends a reminder text before the appointment. I always get compliments on my lashes. She is amazing and you will not regret going to her!

Almost a year later and I'm still seeing the best lash lady, Carol! She's become more like a friend to me that I get to visit every couple weeks. As I mentioned in my earlier review that I have seen several lash ladies but none compare to Carol. Even with me moving away from Auburn, I still make the drive from Seattle! She is well worth it.
She is so generous and always gives me little skin care treats. She's great at helping with advise for skincare and even in life! She knows all about my personal life (I usually blab away) and genuinely cares what is going on with me. She's more than my lash lady, she's my friend.

I've been to 4 other eyelash ladies and Carol is by far my favorite for a couple reasons. 1. She does my eyelash extensions EXACTLY how I like them. 2. She was able to take my bushy eyebrows and magically make beautiful arches! 3. I'm a waitress and my schedule is crazy! I often don't know what time I can make it in till a few days before and Carol always finds a way to squeeze me in! 4. I'm never bored with Carol.
She keeps me well entertained. She treats you like a friend and always genuinely wants to know what's new with you. She's fun to talk to and always has me cracking up or gives me some good advice! Great lashes and therapy all in one!; I always liked how close I lived to her when I lived in Auburn. I just recently moved to South Seattle and normally I would try to find someone closer but I know Carol is the best and it is well worth the drive.
