| - I saw an advertisement for Fuchsia on ABC 15 about a new manicure , Shellac, on special for $20. It sounded cool, so I booked the appointment. Then I went to their website and saw their prices on facials and waxing and called back to book a facial and a wax.
Before starting this review, I perused the reviews below. My guess is that the owners are monitoring this site and making changes as needed. My facial was wonderful and certainly included extractions. Quite frankly, I don't want an extraction that could draw blood from a day spa. If I need such an extraction, I'd rather go to a dermatologist.
The waxing worked out very well. I did a bikini wax. They use an organic wax that doesn't tend to stick to the skin; only to the hair. It was far less painful than other waxing experiences I have had. Now to see how long it lasts. Quite frankly, I had that done at 11 this morning and I had almost forgotten about it until I wrote this review. My previous waxing experiences caused so much irritation that I almost had to shower right away.
The nail experience was another story for me, but the nail tech and the owner were very pleasant dealing with this unforeseen problem. Apparently, this new "Shellac" polish kind of shrinks after it's applied. The gal (sorry, her name escapes me right now) applied the color all the way to my very dry cuticle, but as the layers progressed and the color dried, it shrunk. By the time she was finished, it looked like a good manicure does after about 4 days on me. They refunded my money for the manicure and just took the Shellac off.
All in all, I think the Salon is a good concept and it appears as if they're making a good go of it. I was in the store around lunch and they were busy, so enough people have had good experiences that word is spreading. I did sign up for the $59 a month contract and am already looking forward to my next facial with Kasey. She did a great job!
