| - Not satisfied AT. ALL. I've been here three times and don't plan on going back. The reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is that this place is pretty nice in some ways--they have a comfortable waiting area and the staff are very friendly. I had no problem with the people working there or the cleanliness of the place or anything like that. My problems are with the quality of the service I received and with the prices.
Let me start with the prices: the first time I came here, I got a Brazilian for something like $45 dollars. I thought this was really reasonable and I was happy with the service. No problems so far. When I went back a few months later, I got my business taken care of and went to the register. The total was something like $100 dollars with tip. I was dumbstruck, because I hadn't realized the prices had gone up--much less gone up by THAT MUCH. I know that being uninformed is my fault and I can't blame anyone else for it. But seriously! I was not counting on such an insanely steep price increase. Looking at the website now, it says that a Brazilian is $65, so maybe their prices have gone back down. Still too expensive, in my opinion.
It's one thing not to go back because their prices are too high (hey, that's just the reality of being a poor student!), but the real clincher for me was getting a very bad eyebrow wax. I've been getting my brows done at salons I trust for a while now because they're thick and fussy and because they look jacked up if I try to do it myself. Well, Rod Sickler jacked them up real good, possibly even more than I could have done on my own. The esthetician was really nice and we chatted the whole time she was working on me. I thought it was taking quite a bit longer than usual--after she'd waxed, she kept stepping back and evaluating my brows, and then she'd go to town with her tweezers. Seemed like an awful lot of tweezing. I'd told her I wanted to keep the brows' natural shape and that I really just needed a clean-up. When she finally felt satisfied with her work and handed me the mirror, I almost cried (but I managed to wait till I got into my car to burst into tears. I know, I know, not the most mature reaction). I looked like...a drag queen or something! My arch was too high, my brows were too thin, and their natural asymmetry had been accentuated, not mitigated. It took me something like two months and the help of estheticians I already knew and trusted for my face to start looking like MY FACE again.
I can't vouch for the haircuts or any of the other services. But I was kinda traumatized and won't be back.
