| - This review is for the salon only. Based on my experience at the salon, I cancelled my spa appointment the following day, if that tells you anything.
I was greeted promptly. The space is beautiful and open. I was seated in a waiting area (it would be pushing it to call it a lounge) where they also have product displays. They sell some great brands, like Kerastase and By Terry. No offer of water, coffee, or adult beverages for my wait. Minus one star. I waited 15 minutes past my appointment time (minus two stars) and finally flagged down someone to see what the deal was. No explanation was ever given, but they did light a fire under someone because I was taken back shortly thereafter by an assistant.
I declined the upsell for a deep treatment, as I'd just done a Kerastase treatment a few days earlier. The shampoo and massage were very nice, and the products were good.
The stylist talked with me about the look I wanted and did a very professional job giving me great smooth and bouncy hair, just the way I like it in Vegas. It wasn't the best blowout of my life, but it was definitely a 4 out of 5 of what I have had at the swanky Vegas salons.
The cost was $95 for shoulder-length hair, which was more than I paid next door at Cosmo a few months ago when my hair was about 6" longer. Also more than I paid at Bellagio a few months before that, again on longer hair. This was just a blowout, too. No curling iron or flat iron as I'd had at Cosmo and Bellagio. The cost annoyed me (minus three stars), but as I had not asked for a quote ahead of time, I paid the bill and didn't complain.
The look lasted three nights of Vegas. It deflated a little, as you would expect, but nothing that was beyond rescue with a little dry shampoo and backcombing.
A friend also had a blowout, and her hair looked good. She, too, said the price was higher than she was used to in Vegas. She at least got hot tools. Another friend had her makeup done, and although we didn't discuss what she thought about the reasonableness of the cost ($75), she looked very nice.
The only reason I might go back would be if I were staying on property. I'd probably walk over to Cosmo or Bellagio, though, where I'd be seen promptly, offered something to drink, and have a slightly less crazy bill. As I mentioned, I was underwhelmed enough by the salon that I decided to cancel my massage the next day and leave the $$ in the casino instead. I think it was a good call.
