| - I finally got a chance to check out The Studio! Actually, I've had TWO appointments there this week! :) Jillian Heflin and Danielle Schukar (formerly with Rod Sickler Salon and Spa) are both amazing.
Jillian's cut and color touch up were awesome, as always. If you are looking for nothing short of perfection in a stylist, Jillian is your girl. Her attention to detail exceeds what you will find pretty much anywhere else. Jillian's expertise in color (ummmm she did an AMAZING job of color correction of an 'ooops' moment on me when I first met her) is unrivaled and she takes great care to put thought into how she does everything.
Danielle is without a doubt the premier esthetician in town. Her level of knowledge and experience with a variety of skin types and conditions is second to none. Danielle will tell you exactly what you need to know--she's one of the most down to earth people in the world and you can bare your soul (or just about anything else, depending on what you're having done!) to her. Her integrity knows no bounds.
Now onto the salon. It is new and it is gorgeous! As you walk in, you'll see the styling area directly ahead--this gorgeous salon has some very luxe little extras that make a big difference. The shampoo chairs have footrests like recliners. (ahhhh!) The dryers are overhead on pneumatic arms that are pulled down from the wall and have this really cool cyclonic heat thing going on where the heat isn't blown down on you like a typical dryer--instead it is swirled around INSIDE the dryer and goes back up into the dryer! How cool!
The nail and makeup area is big and full of sunshine and offers all the typical amenities including comfy pedicure chairs. Interstingly enough, there is not a jacuzzi-style foot bath on these chairs--the concept is that the nail technician does the work (and the fabulous foot/ankle massage) instead of the water.
Off to the side are the peaceful aesthetics rooms where you can have any type of facial or waxing service and a dedicated massage room.
The hydrotherapy room at the end of the hall allows for all of the 'wet' treatments and vichy shower options you would expect.
As you go around the corner, through the next door on the right is the actual photo studio. All I can say is WOW. There are so many options for photo sessions--you'll just have to check it out yourself! The coolest thing they are doing now, though is boudoir photos. (BTW, there is a DARLING little dressing room off of the photo studio where you can change outfits. It's like a vinatage little dressing area with cushy chairs and a pretty vanity and it is FILLED with options for your shoot in case you don't own a large variety of corsets, high heels, or frilly things!
The other really cool thing about The Studio is that you can book your own appointmens online so you can do that at your leisure. This is an amazing feature if you are anything like me and don't get the chance to make those calls until you actually sit down at night and realize it's like 11 PM! Of course your confirmations are emailed/texted to you as well, depending on your preference. Your receipts can even be emailed instead of printed--always a great option if you are looking at how to be green!
So all in all, I have to say I'm impressed! :)
