| - Ok, let me clear something up here. There are TWO Robert Cromean salons in Mandalay Bay. One is called A ROBERT CROMEANS SALON. It is located on the "Beach" level (next to Pearl and Surf Shop). The other is called WALK IN SALON, and is located in the Shoppes at Mandalay Place across from LICK.

The Walk In Salon has fully-trained ARCS stylists that just happen to be "less senior" than those stylists available at the salon. The Walk In Salon, therefore, is less expensive. They also offer a wider range of salon services. See the link above for more info on prices / hours / menu of services / etc.
This review is for my experience at the Walk In Salon. Despite the name, they DO take appointments. I showed up for mine and barely waited at all for Maddie, my stylist. I had all-over color done, and I truly love how the color turned out. I'll admit I felt a little lost during the color-mixing process-- I would have liked to see a color swatch, and I was a little scared when my stylist used the words "VIBRANT RED" so many times. As I said, though, I LOVE the results. I just need to TRUST my stylists more :)
I loved being treated to cucumber water, and the scalp / neck massage they give during my shampoo was uh-huh-huh-mazing. Full disclosure, I actually got shampooed by a guy who works in the OTHER salon, so maybe I got a top-of-the-line massage or something, but I swear-- I felt like I should have bought him dinner first. Honestly, it was a little hard to look my husband in the eye later that day...
All in all, I've paid similar amounts for similar treatments at other salons, but I've NEVER gotten the level of service that I received here.
Hey, If you want to REALLY want to splurge, then sure-- visit the ARCS salon on the Beach level. But if you want to still feel nicely pampered, while taking significantly less of a hit to the pocketbook, I can HIGHLY recommend this salon.
