| - This place has excellent reviews on Google, and last month I wanted to pamper myself to look good for my niece who was visiting. I made an appointment for pedicure, facial, and hair styling and arrived in the morning.
The person who was supposed to do my hair wasn't there yet, so I went to get my pedicure done first. The lady who did my pedicure was nice and talkative, which I don't mind in a small salon like this one. The nail area was separated from the hair area and only seated 4 at a time for pedicures and 2 tables for manicures. The owner rents out rooms near the front to others who want to to nails for customers, too. I thought that was interesting. Unlike the usual asian nail salon, this place didn't take away any of the callous on my heels and simply lotioned and scrubbed my feet. They do massage up to the knee, too, which is nice, but I wanted the callous to be removed entirely and for some reason this particular lady didn't do it. Weird.
Next was the facial. The lady who did my facial was fantastic and really sweet. That experience was a positive one. The facial was relaxing, done slowly and with great smelling products. I even had some waxing done and that's where the problems are for me. For some reason this particular spa place had something that made me break out on my face with itchy red bumps later on in the evening. The bumps lasted for three days. Although they said they use hypo-allergenic stuff, I was allergic to something, so if you have sensitive skin you may not want to do their facials.
Lastly was shampoo, cut and style. The owner did it herself and she did a nice job. She actually gave me a nice cut and a scalp massage during the hair washing. It was good and i liked the style.
At the end of the experience my bill was 300 dollars. It was quite costly for a spa outside of the strip. I did purchase a few lotions and a facial cleanser that cost around 90 alone. If you want a haircut or your manicure done, this will be the place, otherwise if you have sensitive skin and want to save money on your pedi, go somewhere else. I did enjoy the entire experience because it was relaxing, but it wasn't anything memorable to where I would go back as a regular.
