| - I wish I could write rate different services separately. I both love and dislike Re Salon at the same time. Here's how I would break it down:
Ambiance: 5 stars (gorgeous interior in a historic fire house)
Hair Services: 4.5 stars (great, but very very pricey)
Nail Services: 1 for quality, 4 stars for friendliness
Spa Services (facials, medical treatments): cannot rate
Front Desk: 1 stars
Value: 1.5 stars
Overall: 2.5 stars
If you're looking for just a hair salon, I highly recommend it. There are some great stylists and colorists and the design of the place is great (though I don't totally love the whole open row of stations (same goes for Aveda, Varji & Varji, etc.). But you are going to pay out the nose for the services. For what I was doing there (trim, color, foil) I was regularly paying $250 per service and two other places I've been it was only $110-135. I wasn't even going to the most seasoned person either. I agree with Amanda- Jane is awesome but since she went back to school she's really tough to get an appt with, so I ultimately ended up switching stylists and then salons.
However, my opinion of the quality of nail services is a different story. The nail room is cute with nice decor but the chairs they do your nails in are not the comfy massage chairs and are frankly a little uncomfortable. My co-workers and I went to get nails done (3 of us at the same time) and the other two were so unhappy with the quality of the work they had peeled off their gel nails that very night. I had the best service/quality of the 3 of us from a nice Filipino lady from Germany (that sounds funny, but she spent most of her life in Germany) who used a different technique and spent more time. But it still wasn't as good as my normal spot so I will not go back. In contrast to the hair costs, it actually wasn't high priced, but from the sound of it only my lady did nails full time and the others were also into hair and maybe facials? So the lack of specialty showed through in the work.
The front desk staff are unfriendly and kind of useless. I usually have to ask for a drink (or my stylist asks) and sometimes when I have called in for an appointment, they don't ask my name which caused scheduling snafus.
