Review from Candice W.

This has been my salon of choice for nearly two years now -- or at least it was, when I had a job. My hairdresser is named Vanessa and she's the kind of girl who knows exactly what will look good on me the minute I walk in the door. She's also extremely tactful and somehow manages to convince me the "straight-across bangs" I want would be hideous for my face shape without making me feel like an idiot.
Their soundtrack always rocks. Regina Spektor followed by Fiona Apple? I love it.
If anything, their complimentary head massage alone is worth coming for. I'm not kidding, I have to refrain from telling my masseuse to STFU while his/her fingers are delicately rubbing my poor exhausted head so I can completely immerse myself in the moment.
If you get your hair dyed, they'll even give you a free foot soak. I've never felt so feminine as I have with feet dipped in hot, fizzing water while hair is wrapped in a towel and flipping through beauty magazines. Gives the illusion of luxury.
I also once had a make-up lesson here, and ended up spending a fair chunk of my pay cheque (back when I had a job) on make-up and other goods. That was almost a year ago, and I still have most of the items laying around in good shape. All their products are completely high quality and nature-friendly. Read: expensive, but worth it. -

This spa could use a bit of a face lift. The service that I received (wax) was adequate, but the wax was painful (low quality??) and there was no after-wax soothing cream applied. The technician seemed aloof. Their prices for Aveda products are extremely high-- it pains me to know that elsewhere they are not nearly that expensive.
