| - I've had 3 different services here: a wax, a pedicure, and a haircut.
Wax: I notice that some reviewers have lauded the different wax Civello uses, which doesn't require strips. I found it to be more painful. WHereas with a strip, you would take off a large amount of hair in one go, with this wax some would inevitably be left over. It didn't seem as "thorough". The waxer was somewhat awkward as well- usually they will leave the room when you take off your clothes, but she stayed... It didn't particularly bother me; I just found it a little different.
Pedicure: quite good, no complaints here, and they were very clean and nice about letting me stay longer to let my toes dry. Pricey for what it is.
Haircut: Not the best haircut. I don't think the stylist cut my hair according to the type of hair I have.. it is shaggy looking and too "piecey" at the ends. I have a grown-out perm so the ends just don't look good being layered to this extent. I was quite clear that I didn't want too many layers, which I thought to mean I didn't want it to look very piecey or shaggy. It doesn't look good having grown out a little bit (a month, or less). It's not terrible, but again, I would go elsewhere for the price (higher expectations).
I liked the decor, but Civello is a little too busy for me. The spa is not as relaxing with the bustling salon below.
As a note, they do give you a 20 or 25$ gc upon your first visit, which is nice. But I will probably look elsewhere for my "beautifying" services!
