Wonderful Stylists!

by sweetlilpsycho at Citysearch

I went this afternoon because I BADLY needed a cut/dye after a 4 1/2 month deployment. I basically picked the closest highly-recommended salon to me, lucky me, it turned out better than I expected.

I called just to be sure they had availability, and 40 minutes later was walking into their salon. I waited for about 5 minutes, and then Amy J. [I'm told there are three Amy's here!] came out to greet me. She was fantastic! Knowledgeable and very skilled in her craft, I wasn't entirely sure wheat I wanted, but she helped me decide the best option and a coworker of hers even came over to offer some advice, which was great.

All in all, I was there for about 2 hours, which flew by with the lively chatter between Amy and I, and I never once got bored or felt neglected. I was offered a drink, and was made to genuinely feel welcome, which I appreciated beyond words. The results were stunning, I was getting looks from people all afternoon, and I have to say this is one of the best cut/dyes I've ever gotten.

If there is a con, it is that their services could be considered on the expensive side, however, I believe in getting what you pay for, so when my calculation of a 20% tip came to $46, I rounded it up to $50 without batting an eye. [This does however, include shampoo and conditioner that Amy sold me for around $50/each] I will definately return for my haircuts and colors from now on, as well as to try some of their other services, I would recommend this establishment to anyone willing to shell out a little extra cash to get that little extra reward.

• Pros: Friendly service, good atmosphere, excellent results
• Cons: Not a place for a budget cut!

DONT GO HERE IF YOU VALUE YOUR FACE

by leilaleveaux at Citysearch

I am going to have a heart attack. Today I went to Re Vive for the 1st time despite my better judgment. I usually go to Bella Tosca for facials. I decided to go with the Maui Facial but informed the person doing my facial that I was using differin gel for acne. She insisted that the Maui facial was the way to go... to make a long story short .. I have a chemical BURN in between my eyes! This was the facial that was supposed to set off my birthday. Undobtedly, the girl was nice but nice doesnt cut it when it comes to your face (you only have one) the person has to be KNOWLEDGABLE! I am heart broken and for over $100 plus a tip (cause I couldnt be tacky and not) I look and feel awful.

• Pros: Nice and friendly
• Cons: Parking and ability to do good facials

Good place to remove your hair

by KInSanDiego at Citysearch

I have had only positive experiences at this salon- I have gone several times for laser hair removal and the staff has always been courteous, professional, and efficient. I recently had a massage, and not only was it reasonably priced (Swedish) it was absolutely fantastic! I can't remember her name, but she had a slight East coast accent- ask for her!
