| - I too used the $120 worth of services for $60 Groupon for my visit here (I called and booked my appointments before buying it just to be safe). I wish I could give them 2.5 stars since it's not quite worth the three stars, but the staff were very nice so that made me round it up.
My husband and I were doing dinner and a show the day I came in and wanting be to super cute on my trip to Vegas I decided to get my nails and hair done. The Groupon covered the charges exactly ($35 for the mani, $85 for shampoo and style for mid-back length hair), and thanks to the reviews on here I was prepared to pay an additional $24 for the 20% gratuity. However, like others on here, I didn't like being forced to tip 20%, especially before the services were even done.
The staff were sweet and welcoming so no complaints about customer service, but it probably should have been a bit of a warning sign when I only saw two other customers the hour and a half I was in there, and that a Strip salon/spa was offering Groupons in the first place. The atmosphere and services in the salon just didn't match the high prices and Strip location; no offer of water or tea, and the salon was clean but just felt old and tired to me.
My manicure was ok; nice shaping and sweet lady, but she was a little rough with my cuticles and almost forgot to put polish on one of my thumbs. I also wasn't paying super close attention and was doing a shimmery pink polish so I didn't even catch it until after I was out of the salon, but she put two coats of polish on my right hand and only one coat on my left! The polish also started chipping after only three days.
For my hair I decided to have a blow out with some loose curls. I have side-swept bangs and she asked which side I part them, so I showed her where I usually do a left part. She then proceeded to style them with a right part. Erm. Ok. Maybe she's still working on it and she'll fix it? Continue with the blow dry and curling the rest of my hair. Great until she starts to TEASE MY ROOTS. Ok. She's a professional and you're not; have faith, it'll look great. Tease. Curl. Spray. Tease. Curl. Spray. She then smoothed my hair down a little bit with my bangs still parted on the wrong side, and that was it. My hair wasn't quite to the 1960s volume level, but it was ridiculously puffy for my taste. After I left the salon I bee-lined to the nearest bathroom where I was able to gently comb out the teased sections without ruining the rest of my hair and switch my part to the correct side. After the bathroom modifications I actually really liked my hair, and it even lasted me through the rest of my trip with a little bit of TLC in the morning.
It was nice getting basically 50% off at a Strip salon, but I don't think I'd be back again even with the discount.
