| - I had the most amazing salon experience at Kim Vo in October. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful Vegas vacation.
Located inside the Mirage Hotel and casino, this salon is very accomodating to their hotel guests. I made appointments for my boyfriend and I to get haircuts and some nail and eyebrow treatments for myself. They outline all of their prices for their services in a very detailed fashion. Its Vegas, and its on the strip, so it'll cost ya, but it was worth every penny to me. I carefully added up what the amount would be and entered the salon.
It was obvious I had been placed in professional hands as my hairdresser worked so quickly on my hair. I brought two or three pics on my iPhone about what I was looking for and wanted more shorter pieces of hair near my face to style and lots of layers and a V-cut perimeter... he knew exactly what to do. I was sent to the shampoo/wash room and after recieving a very nice scalp massage, I came back to the chair. With his delicate scissors he cut the most beautiful shape into my hair. It is always intimidating as someone with long hair to trust someone to not chop too much off; needless to say with a bad encounter at a hair salon I do not return for months until I gather courage to trust another hairstylist again. When he had blow-dried my hair and given me the mirror to see the back, it was absolutely perfect! I have never felt so satisfied at the end of a haircut as I did that day.
Towards the end of my hair appointment, they let me see my boyfriend's finished haircut as he had wandered over to find me. So handsome, and I love that they styled it in a modern way that he had never thought of before.
After feeling fabulous about my haircut and ecstatic about my boyfriend's haircut, I went to the waiting area to hang out until my next appointment.
It was the pedicure, and it was so refreshing. My feet were long over due, and so I already knew it was going to be a lot of work for her. I think I got the deluxe pedicure, so it came with a bath salts massage. The salts smelled so heavenly. Although I should have spoke up to tell her she can be more "aggressive" with the massage part, it was very relaxing. They had great colors to choose from and the color lasted nearly three weeks before any chipping occurred! She cleaned my feet up really well, they were looking sandal-ready perfect!
And next was the manicure. I opted for the gels, and you should too! I have very brittle nails and have had horrible experiences with arylics.. I have only had gels done one other time because I can't find places that offer a true gel manicure! Solars are not the same, and neither are the shellacs. If you get a chance, splurge for the gels. They last "forever" and can be made MUCH thinner than acrylics. They are more likely to fall off (which typically doesn't happen for at least three weeks although the salon claims two weeks) than they are to chip. I highly recommend the gels, and especially from Kim Vo salon. I did not have the best nail length for her to work with... I had actually broken my thumbnail to the nail on one side and I was thinking well, I hope she can just make it look reasonable. She admitted too that she wasn't sure if I would like it. I am picky and a perfectionist about french manicures, and she did a fabulous job.
Next was the eyebrow waxing and tinting. This was a different gal from before and she had the most beautiful, thick brows I had ever seen. That is always a good sign for a eyebrow specialist. I told her I wanted a completely different shape from what I was given previously... I needed my eyebrows to look more full and longer, as long as possible. She explained to me that it would have less of an arch, and that was ok with me; I really appreciated how she took the time to explain how it would work, asked me if I had tinted my brows before, and made sure she knew exactly what I was looking for before pouring the wax on. She also spent the most time of any aesthetician I know... which made me very confident that she was proud of her work. They looked amazing afterwards.
I am much like the previous reviewer and would follow these individuals to another country if I had to. It was just so much greatness in one day I was completely stunned. But to do it all, you will be forking over some serious cash. But to me it was totally worth it. I hope they stay around for a long time in Las Vegas so I can make annual (at least!) excursions to get everything spruced up.
