| - This was my first haircut and style at ARCS. I called the same morning and booked a cut and style with Chris who was very friendly and talented!
I got to the salon at noon, and I was immediately greeted and offered a drink (iced water with lemon and a slice of cucumber- so fresh and yummy!). I changed into a robe and sat down. Chris asked me what I was going for, I told him lots of volume and loose curls and off we went to the lather station. This was my favorite part of the whole experience! Instead of having to lay all the way flat and putting your neck on an uncomfortable, hard, cold, sink edge, you just sit and a HEATED neck brace is placed under your slightly tilted back neck. There was also a foot stool at the bottom for added comfort. This absolutely made my shampoo so much more pleasurable, especially with the warm neck brace. At first when I looked at the prices, I thought it was really pricey, but the neck and scalp massage makes up for it!
This salon is located in the Shoppes at Mandalay Place. It is really beautifully and uniquely set (the blow dryers hang from the ceiling!). Chris called my haircut "the money maker" and even showed me some tips on how to style it when I'm at home. At the end, they show you the products they used on your hair and ask you if you're interested in purchasing them, but they never pressure you into a sale. My hair never looked better and I felt great when I walked out. Don't be put off by the prices here, it is definitely worth your money. Super friendly, talented, and helpful staff, amazing set-up and amenities you won't get anywhere else! I can't wait to come back in a few months to get my hair done again at ARCS!
