In a town where there is a salon on every corner, I have been unable to isolate one that I call my own, whether it is for hair or nails or makeup. But recently Dolce has changed my view.
Below are the reasons why Dolce is quite possibly the greatest of them all:
1. Membership Program. $49 for six mos., $99 for one year, your membership automatically gives you up to 35% off on makeup, hair products, and other retail items - not to mention there are monthly membership deals where you can get a $55 one hour swedish massage when everyone else has to pay $80, for example.
2. Spa Week. During Spa weeks you can receive a one hour massage or one hour organic facial for only $50. They also offer gift cards starting at $25 when you book 2 or more services.
3. Complimentary Make-up touch ups or shampoo and style for your hair when receiving a spa service of one hour or longer. I had a organic facial and the gal that "touched me up" pretty much did a full makeup, valued at $50, $35 for members. All you have to do is reserve the time when you book your spa service. In my case I was not even aware of this awesome service so I requested it at the end of my session, and they were so accommodating and found someone to help me.
4. Custom makeup. Completely custom in the sense that you can design your own lip stick, eyeshadow, and blush. For instance, you can select scents and flavors to your lipgloss, as well as adding lip plumper, moisturizer, or enhancer. And if you are a member and bring in your Eco Bag (Dolce Tote) you automatically receive 35% off.
5. Retail. Extensive selection of skin and hair care products. As a member, your discounts also make the purchase of that expensive skin cream a lot easier on the wallet.
6. Amenities. Treatment rooms are extremely comfortable from lighting to music to temperature and comfort of the beds.
7. Happy Hour. Fridays and Saturdays from 6-9p you can get your hair washed and styled for only $23 as a member, $35 at regular price.
8. Full Service Spa. Everything from pedicures to facials to spray tans to blow-outs.
Finally, I have been here only twice but have been exceedingly pleased with the experience and results every time. I had brow wax, tinting, as well as lash tinting, and an organic facial. The best and gentlest facial I have ever had, the most precise and thorough brow wax, not to mention the lash tinting was not uncomfortable in the least...and the brow tinting was done with just as much attention to detail and looked amazing. (I highly recommend Piper, Aesthetician extraordinaire, for her services).
All the gals here have been generous with their time, curteous, and willing to go above and beyond to make their customer happy. I am happy to be a member and look forward to having all of my spa services there from now on.
