Salon Thalia

I've been to a lot of hairdressers over the years and while some of them seem to get it right, it never lasts and sure enough after the third or fourth trip, my hair is a mess again. After searching all over, I found Maria at Thalia and I am set! She always listens to what I want, offers great advice on how to change it up (if I want) and I always leave looking great! Even better, my hair still looks great weeks after a cut.

Pros: great hair, clean salon, friendly staff

Posted 11/04/09

I have found my new place! Had a bikini wax with Alyssa here, was great! I mean, as far as a wax can be great it was great. Almost painless, definetly quick and clean and she was really nice and made me feel comfortable. Plus she offered me a discount for when I come back for a facial which I will probably do. Didn't see the whole salon but overall it was clean, staff was friendly, I will be back!

Pros: Alyssa

Cons: no cash back

Posted 10/21/09

I booked a facial at Thalia and got Alissa who was great! She made me feel very relaxed and was very detailed and knowledgable. She reccomended a Clarifying Facial which helped clear up my skin wright away. I asked her a lot of questions about my skin and she was happy to offer a her advise. I will defintily rebook in a few weeks with Alissa again. My skin is glowing and my acne cleared up immediately!

I went to Salon Thalia for the first time the other day. Katie was my stylist and she did an amazing job! She worked with me to figure out the perfect cut- one that combined my personal style with the most flattering shape and length for me. I will definitely go back to Katie & would recommend her to anyone.

Posted 09/09/09

I scheduled a last minute appointment with Katie. I was surprised to see the huge extent of the of salon, but it's easy to see why this place is so popular! My stylist did a great job combining what I knew I wanted and her ideas for what would work well in my hair, I've gotten nothing but compliments for the job she did! I have been recommending this salon to everyone.

Thanks for the time, attention and great haircut!

Posted 09/04/09

I recently had a facial with Alissa at Salon Thalia and I highly recommend her! There was a great scalp massage at the end that I would love to come back for and book just that if I could! She was gentle with extractions, knowledgeable about skin and gave me some great tips about at-home care. It's been a little over a week and I've already seen an improvement in my skin.

Travis has been my stylist for 6 years in Scottsdale AZ, I have never had a bad experience! He always is considerate of what you would like - his training and talent is amazing.
While travelling from Scottsdale this summer we specifically came to Philly so I could have him 'cut and color'...it was perfect...and his new home Salon Thalia suits perfectly. The staff were so pleasant and helpful - especially when as a tourist I got lost and was late....
Scottsdales loss is certainly Philadephias gain..
I am glad to see he is already getting recognition from other customers - he deserves it!! (Miss you Travis)

Pros: Stylist Extrordinare

Cons: None

Posted 08/28/09

Ask for Travis. He asked great questions and made sure to listen to what I wanted (or more importantly, didn't want). He was creative but stuck with a style that works for me. Also, he is very complimentary and didn't make me feel guilty for abusing my hair with a flat iron. It was an all around great experience and i will definitely be going back!

Pros: Beautiful Salon, Staff, Everything

Cons: none

Posted 08/27/09

I'm new in town from NYC and was looking for a cool, urban salon near the Old City area. A couple people I've met recommended what they thought to be reliable choices, and after checking out a few I decided to go with Salon Thalia, right off of Washington Square. The space is modern and sleek, and the staff was very professional and accommodating. Now I'm the kind of person who doesn't like the 'fanfare' associated with going into a new salon and meeting a new hairdresser (I find that it can be like going on an interview), but everyone from the front desk to the assistants to the stylist that cut my hair made me feel completely at ease. Travis is a new stylist from Scottsdale and seems to really know what he's doing; my color was spot-on and I feel like my cut made me look ten years younger. I also met one of the owners (whose name was Michael, I think) and he took time out to introduce himself and make me feel further at home (a point I've always liked when going to my old West Village NYC spot). Bottom line - I never thought I'd find a new salon so fast that made me feel the way my old salon and stylist did, but from now on I'll be asking for Travis at Thalia. Keep up the good work.

Pros: Urban feel, great stylists, awesome space

Cons: Parking - but isn't that ubiquitous for Center City?

Posted 07/22/09

Travis really took the time to work with what kind of look I wanted. He had great ideas on how to update me and make me feel INCREDIBLE! I get so many compliments on my cut and color! He used to be an educator for a big company and is really knowledgeable in his craft. This man is truly an artist! I will never let anyone else touch my hair again! The work he created was AMAZING and he is a really great person also! The price wasn't too bad either.

Pros: Excellent Colorist and Hair Cutter!

Cons: NONE!

Posted 07/17/09

I recently went to Memories for the first time for a Brazillian wax - everything you've heard about her is true! She is amazing! Like the girl below me said, she usses some special wax that hurt no more than a bandaid coming off. And personally, I had a perfectly warm greeting from the reception staff so I don't know what that's about. I'm gonna try them for my hair next, I hope that's as great as Memories was! Plus, i didn't even get bumpy the next day.

Pros: Memories - Amazing!!!

Cons: None I can think of

Posted 07/16/09

Memories was incredible. She made me comfortable, and used this blue wax which made the bikini wax feel the same as a band-aid wripping off.

Pros: Easiest bikini wax ever

Cons: Not the most welcoming reception staff.

Posted 07/15/09

I've had a couple facials here over the past year and I just have to say how much I love Memories and the salon itself. In this economy, my skin is something I just won't scrimp on, it makes me feel good and Memories is the best - number 1 hands down in Philadelphia - no question about it! She really customizes each time depending on what I need and is so funny and warm and soothing. She never makes me feel bad about my occassional or not so ocasional acne. The salon itself is beautiful! I can't remember the name of the girl who cut my hair but she was great too. I just wish I could afford all the wonderful products they have up front!

Pros: Amazing facials!

Cons: none I can think of

Posted 05/27/09

A friend of mine had told me about this place a while ago and I never made it in until recently. I'm sorry I waited so long. My hair has never looked better. Even weeks later after my cut, my hair is still drying really well on its own. Usually, my hair falls back into its unruly self after a week or two when I leave a salon but not this time. I also had a one color done and I bought the shampoo and conditioner they had recommended from Kerasstasse and wow! They were right, they really do make a difference. I've been using Redken and Pantene for so many years and I didn't realize what a difference the right products and the right cut can make. Plus, its just a beautiful salon with huge windows overlooking the park, it really can't be beat! I'm gonna go back soon for a facial with Memmories (I think that's her name, she did my brows too!) and I think that's gonna be awesome too! I don't usually write these kinds of things but I really liked my expereicne here so I wanted to share.

Pros: Clean, beautiful, luxurious

Cons: none I can think of

Posted 04/16/09

I've been a customer for about 2 years now and have had nothing but a positive experience. My hair is extremely thick and hard to control but I was able to get a cut that was easy to manage, stylish and hip. The stylist was able to look at my hair and direct me to a cut that would work with my hair type and the shape of my face. I wasn't sure that I was going to like the cut but I'm glad I listened because now I love it.They have always given me nothing but a professional cut , and a smiling face the moment I enter the building. The salon is always clean with a professional atmosphere and they never had to bump my appointment due to another client who was disrespectful by showed up late.
But I must say I LOVE MY HAIR!!!!!! And have gotten complement after complement by my friends. I'll continue to give them my repeat business.
Thanks guys, I never knew I could look so good!!!!!

Pros: smart stylists, great people, helpfull front desk,

Cons: parking

Posted 03/28/09

I have never written a review before but feel so strongly about Salon Thalia that I have to write one now. I was a customer there from the day they opened... like 4 or 5 years ago until recently. I went there religiously (for cuts & highlights) the entire time. I purchased every hair care product from them including shampoo/conditioner and even my brushes, not to mention I referred dozens (seriously dozens) of people there. I was only ever welcomed there by my stylist, assistants and just one of the owners. The front desk staff and the other owner were never gracious and never acted appreciative of my business or referrals. I was treated with disrespect on more than 1 occasion (in-person and over the phone). My stylist was the reason I endured ? always gracious, super-talented, appreciative and accommodating. I adore my stylist, so when they left, I left. Unfortunately, they parted ways on less than amicable circumstances. The reason for this post is not only the above but to reveal the manner in which they have handled this undesirable circumstance. Days later, I learned that one of the front desk attendants posted on their Facebook page that they were happy to not have to wait on me again... and they used my first and last name. Needless to say, I was shocked and furious as this is WILDLY unprofessional and truly ridiculous because other than get annoyed by their frequently unhelpful and at times rude behavior, I have never treated them with unkindness or disrespect. Plus I have spent THOUSANDS annually since they opened and referred MANY others who have referred others. Apparently there was real issue with treating a long-time consumer with respect and courtesy ? and NO UNDERSTANDING OF TRUE CUSTOMER SERVICE and what that entails in a business model that depends on repeat business and referrals. I do not take pleasure in posting reviews like this but felt the need to in this occasion.

Pros: Some individual stylists

Cons: Management

Posted 03/27/09

I have been going to Thalia for a little while now. I usually feel amazing when i leave the salon but i have had some unfortunate cuts recently. I brought pictures to the stylist only to have those pictures ignored. I am in a wedding in a couple of weeks and there is nothing i can do to fix the damage caused. Believe me there is no way to cover up this unprofessional cut. I asked the stylist whu my cut didnt look like the picture and he replied, " you dont have that kind of hair. It was never going to look like the picture." as my stylist shouldnt he have told me that before he started cutting?! I left the salon in tears and I wont go back.

Cons: didnt listen to customer wishes

Posted 03/19/09

Salon Thalia rocks! The whole vibe of the place is so cool and clean, you just feel good walking in there. I always leave feeling relaxed and happy. It's a little bit more on the pricier side but worth every penny because my color and cuts always last so long. I never feel pressured to buy products (which I do anyway because I love kerastasse!) Everyone there is always warm and courteous. I highly recommend thalia!!!

Posted 12/17/08

I cut my normally long hair into a bob last winter and dyed it dark brown. By spring I was ready for a cut and a lighter hair color. I was nervous to let just anyone cut my already short hair --I just wanted it reshaped & was afraid it would get butchered. I knew I needed to splurge on a quality stylist from a quality salon. Based on CitySearch results I booked an appointment with Carolyn at Salon Thalia. She did a great job with the cut, color & highlights. She was so friendly and offered her expert opinion --which I'm glad she did because her color suggestion was better than what I originally wanted. Even her assistant, Susan, was so nice and attentive. It was a really great experience and the salon is beautiful.

Not anymore expensive than other salons in the Center City area. If you can afford it, go.

Pros: customer serivce, expertise

Posted 12/12/08

I can personally recommend MICHAEL as someone who takes the time to get to know you and your hair, and makes the most of what he learns. Best haircut EVER. Also, not trying to sell you services or products you don't need. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Posted 12/09/08

I recently went to salon thalia for the first time. One of my coworkers gets her hair done there and sent me to katie. Ever since katie has done my color I have been recieving compliments from all of my friends and even my husband noticed! I've always splurged on my hair, but i have never recieved as much feedback as i have since i've been to salon thalia. Id recommend Katie to anyone whos looking for a new look !! Thanks Katie!! and Salon Thalia!

Pros: everything, location!!

Cons: nothing

Posted 11/03/08

One of the first things I noticed about this salon is that when I called and said I was a new client and didn't know who I wanted to see, the receptionist actually took a minute to sit there and try to figure out who would be best for my personality, my budget and my hair. I have worked at some of the best salons in NYC and I know that that is the best kind of customer service, unlike some other places I have called in Philly who will just stick me with whoever. I saw Carter the first time I went and I really really liked what he did and him personally but then he went and moved out of state on me! So I was nervous about trying someone else but since I liked the salon so much I tried out Carolyn and I can honestly say, she is great and I am just as happy with her as I was with Carter. She really took the time to listen to me and she gave me a great cut.

Posted 09/17/08

In a last few months I have spent fair amount of money getting treatments, products and services in this salon and I would expect salon thalia to care a little more about whether or not I am satisfied with the results. It happened that I was not too happy with my resent experience (did not like how my hair came out), so instead of offering to do something to fix it, they make it sound that there is nothing they can do about it?.did not seemed like they care a lot about customer satisfaction... they did make me feel like they do not. And considering price you pay pay, I would expect a little more attention?
Also, they are not very consistent in their prices - I got the same procedure 3 weeks apart with the same stylist, though second time was much more expensive than before. Be very careful to specify what you want to be done because next thing you know your total is much higher than you expected. Tricky like that, not very upfront. Beware!!!
They defiantly lost me as a customer

Posted 09/17/08

I love this salon! I have a great experience everytime I go and I always pay a fair price. Sure, its a bit more expensive than some places but I don't get the same quality elsewhere. Everyone here is so nice and warm, from the front of the salon to the back. I always feel welcome and I just enjoy being here. Plus, my hair always looks great! And I like how they have snacks out because I always come after work when I'm starving! Too bad they don't have wine out -- that would make my experience even better!

Pros: Value, Skill, Ambience......

Posted 09/17/08

Had my first experience at this salon this past weekend. Getting an appointment was easy even though it was bustling when I got there. Despite robust business the salon is very peaceful and the customer service excellent. Memories is The Best Waxer I have ever encountered (I've lived in Boston, DC, and LA) -- I don't know how she managed to do my brows without me walking away with a red forehead; that has literally never happened. She is a DOLL. A doll made of magic.

Michael is a complete and total sweetheart and gave me a perfect cut -- exactly what I wanted, executed artfully and carefully. He understood my hair texture perfectly, and the things I told him had haunted me in past haircuts he seemed to already have known. He takes his work seriously and absolutely wants you to be happy, and it shows. And no, I'm not an old biddy (per that upset reviewer) -- I'm a young, single, creative professional.

Posted 09/16/08

I don't usually post reviews and things like this but since I read the last two, I wanted to comment. I have been a loyal customer at Salon Thalia for about three years now and have never had an unpleasant experience. The front desk has always been courteous and polite and have never made me feel unwanted. Danielle and the owner have always been more than accommodating. I have always been happy with my cuts, color, shampoos, treatments, you name it.
I have purchased products in the past, some of which I have continued to use because I was happy with the results and others that I have chosen not to continue using wether due to a reaction (which I've had) or I just didn't care for them. I realize that when you purchase something, you're not purchasing a sample item. And if the product doesn't work, you move on to the next one. I believe that no business can run successfully by giving away products, which sounds like is exactly what this person wants.

Pros: Customer Service, atmosphere, cleanliness, efficiency.

Cons: none.

Posted 09/08/08

I've been going to Carolyn at Salon Thalia for over two years. She is great and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a stylist or new salon. I can say I enjoy all of the staff there- always polite and helpful. Also, they have a great selection of products. There are at least six other women in my office who go there as well!

Check them out- ask for Carolyn!

Posted 06/30/08

Well, as you probably have read plenty of times already-- Memories is GREAT! She made me very comfortable and let me know everything she was doing and why she was doing it. She's very clean and very sweet.

Pros: Memories

Cons: None that I know of yet.

Posted 06/24/08

I agree...Memories does an excellent Brazilian wax. The first time I went to her was two summers ago when I went to Hawaii. I didn't want to have to shave while I was there so I decided to get waxed for the first time. Now I'm not going to lie...it HURT. But it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. She definitely takes care to apply pressure and soothing oils and whatnot to make it more bearable. I considered going somewhere else that was more convenient for me but I just can't. I've heard too many waxing horror stories so I'll stick with who I KNOW will do a great job.

Pros: Waxing

Cons: It's downtown, so be careful where you park.

Posted 06/18/08

Memories is the best if you want a Brazilian Bikini Wax, eyebrow wax, etc.
I've been all over Center City trying to find someone who will get it right and Memories gets it right every single time!
She has great attention-to-detail skills your eyebrows and brazilian wax will look perfect after her!

Pros: EVerything about this place is a pro!

Cons: Hard to get an appointment in if its an emergency, lol.

Posted 06/09/08

This salon is a great place. It provides incredible services yet still never losing the personal touch. Michael has been my stylist 3 years and I would not trust my hair to anyone else. He has taken me from blonde to brunette and then back to blonde again without any damage, and always accompanied by fantastic cuts. Highly Recommended!!

Pros: warm atmosphere, expert color/cuts

Posted 05/28/08

I?ve been coming here a few years now and seeing Ashley. She is definitely my favorite hairdresser I?ve had over the years. She gives advice and feedback on things I?m considering, but doesn?t push her own agenda. I get highlights done, but am pretty low maintenance about hair, and don?t have the time or money to get touched up as often as recommended. She works hard to give me great-looking highlights that can grow out without being too obvious and looks very natural (better than natural!). She?s also never made me feel bad about my infrequent visits, which I?ve had happen at other high-end salons before. It is a splurge for me in terms of price (usually $200 for color and cut) but it?s certainly comparable to other salons, and I only have to go a few times a year because of the great job Ashley does. The salon itself is also a nice setting, big sunny room, everyone has always been friendly at front desk, etc.

Posted 05/05/08

This is one of the nicest salons in the city. Its absolutely beautiful and very clean throughout. I saw Carolyn who did a fantastic job and gave me a beautiful haircut - very fresh looking and something that really suits my face. I never would have thought to have it cut this way so I'm glad she was able to think of that. The whole staff was really very nice and helpful. I will definitely be back!

Pros: Best front desk in center city - so nice!

Cons: a wee bit pricey - but worth it

Posted 04/23/08

I've been here 3 times to get my hair cut and i've always gotten compliments on my hair-dos by family, friends, and strangers on the street! At first it is quite intimating b/c the cosmetics of the salon seem to only cater to "high-end clients", but the staff makes you feel comfortable. Also, when I first decided to check this salon out, i was nervous that they wouldn't know how to cut my textured hair (asian), but i come to realize they truly are professionals and have training and experience with all hair types.

I've been to Wyatt first; the 2nd time he wasnt available so I made an appt with Carter; the 3rd time, Carter wasnt available so I was set up with Juaquin. They are all talented and highly professional. No matter who you get, you're hair is in good hands! Price ranges from $55-$75 - a bit pricey, but do-able. I also like the fact that they focus their attention on YOU from the start; greeting you in the lobby to shampooing to the hair cut to walking you out.

At the end of hair cut, they give you a form of the products they used in your hair. I understand it is part of their job to sell the products, but I never felt burdened or pressured to purchase their items. They carry such products like Bumble & Bumble and Kerastase (sp?) and Shu Uemura.

Overall, i'm pretty low maintenance on hair care, so splurging on Salon Thalia is always a treat!

Pros: Professional skilled staff

Cons: Pricey

Posted 04/14/08

The people here treated me with warmth like I was already a long-time client. Come appointment time, I walked into the most beautiful salon I've ever seen. I worked with a junior stylist, Carolyn, who answered question after question, gave me cost- and time-effective tips and taught me what good hair care and smart styling was all about. I kept my length despite split ends as she showed me exactly the care I needed.

I also had an eyebrow wax at the same appointment with Memories, who must be among the sweetest people I've ever met. Like Carolyn, Memories actually counseled me on my look. She began by cleaning up the obvious areas and then stopped, handed me a mirror, and talked me through her recommendations for shaping and improving the look over time. I could hardly tell when Memories waxed my eyebrows. It felt like a tickle - really! She also gave me the most relaxing, calming and truly effective facial massage (at no additional charge) during the waxing that bestowed a calm and confidence in me even my boyfriend commented on later that eventing.

I experienced Salon Thalia through my whole body. My stylists were patient, consulted me on every step of my treatment from color to cut to wax and counseled me on everything from hair growth to what's ideal for my face and body type and how to work towards it over time. It made me feel like I was finally learning how to improve my look in a healthy and sensible way, one that was natural and would endure.

The pricing here isn't Supercuts-cheap but I paid what I expected and it was affordable. What stands out the most is the way Salon Thalia works with their clients on an individual basis to create a desired look and their sliding-scale pricing is an affordable reflection of the same.

Danielle at the front desk was great. She welcomed me warmly when I arrived, her total recognition at just the sound of my voice 8 hours earlier.

Thank you, Salon Thalia! I'll be back!

Pros: Informative, Personalized, Relaxing

Cons: A bit pricey, but do-able with budgeting.

Posted 04/10/08

Just wanted to say how happy I am with this salon. It's clean, friendly, trendy without being obnoxtious and I always feel like a million bucks when I walk out of there. Now that they have a nail person, I can get my nails done here too plus they have really cute stuff for sale up front, like shirts and hair things. I see Carolyn for my hair, Memories for waxing but I think that everyone is probably really good there.

Posted 04/02/08

In response to the previous review, were you having a bad day? PMS maybe? Or are you just not happy with yourself??? I have been going to Michael and Salon Thalia for the past 4 years, and I have never experienced anything but the best from each and every staff member. I came to Michael after a stylist from another salon "botched" my hair beyond repair, or so I thought. Michael was a miracle worker who not only fixed the horrible cut and color job, but made me look amazing! And as for your comment about "old biddies", I am a thirty-something young professional working in sales where my appearance is important to me. I also am a past professional make up artist who has worked with "A" list stars on movies and music videos who likes to stay on the cutting edge of fashion and style. Michael is always willing to listen to what I want and always creates the trendy and sophisticated look I ask for! If you are looking for a salon that keeps your look up with the latest hot styles, and stylists that have been trained by experts from around the world, I would highly recommend you visit Salon Thalia

Pros: Friendly, great atmosphere (no chemical smells), knowledgeable stylists

Posted 03/29/08

I have been seeing Ashley for three years now for highlights and have always been happy leaving the salon. She does a wonderful job, is always willing to spend extra time to alter anything, and is fun to be around. The salon itself is beautiful. I have absolutely no negatives about this salon at all and think that it would be a mistake to go anywhere else.

Pros: Haircuts and coloring

Cons: Parking? There really isn't one

Posted 03/28/08

This salon is nice, the staff is freindly, but michael needs to stop cutting hair. Or at least just stop taking new clients and just work on the old biddies that are happy with the same old outdated hair. I went to him for the first time and he didnt listen to a word i said and instead gave me some generic layered cut. how boring. oh and thanks for cutting my bangs straigt across without asking, i look like i am five.

Pros: Nothing really.

Cons: everything.

Posted 03/26/08

Carter, one of the hairstylists at Salon Thalia, gave me the best hair cut in my life! I don't have a lot of time to deal with my hair and I, therefore, like keeping it short. However, it always ends up poofing if it's not cut right. I walked in to Salon Thalia for the first time, asking Carter to cut my hair to around chin length with the only criteria that it won't poof. After that, I left it to him to decide what would work best and look best. I was not disappointed. He really took the time to make sure to thin out my hair by layering it properly and create a simple style with a slightly unique flare (bob-like but with an off-center part, some asymmetry, and layering/lengths that give it some character). I was so thrilled when I saw what he did that I left the salon feeling more confident than I have in a long time. When my husband saw me, his jaw dropped.

I have to admit that I am usually not a fan of going to a salon, but going to Salon Thalia was a great experience. Everyone, from the women at the front desk to the hairstylists, was the nicest. I HIGHLY recommend this place, and I STRONGLY recommend asking for Carter. You won't be disappointed!

Posted 03/04/08

I just moved to Philly a month ago, and I have been pouring over salon reviews for weeks. Salon Thalia had amazing reviews and was voted one of the top salons in the city. Well, during a "I hate my hair and it needs to be changed ASAP" moment today, I called up Salon Thalia at 3:30 in the afternoon in hopes of getting squeezed in for a color. The oh-so-sweet girl that answered the phone fixed me up w/ an appointment w/ Juaquin at 4:00 the same day. The place is perfect....everyone there was as nice as they could be....and Juaquin was amazing! He was super sweet. He completely listened to what I wanted and added some ideas of his own. And he is great at what he does! This is the best color that I have had in a long, long time. It's perfect! Thank you so much Salon Thalia for squeezing me in and being so nice! And most importantly, thank you so much Juaquin for an amazing color!!! For those of you reading this review, I will also add that this was also the most expensive salon that I have ever been to. However, in my opinion, this color was worth every penny. So, if you're willing to spend the money on awesome hair, this is definitely the place to go! Ask for Juaquin!

Pros: great location, great staff, great atmosphere, great hair!

Cons: very pricey....but worth it

Posted 02/12/08

Thanks so much for the great work. This is a really nice salon with very talented people! My husband and kids go now too!

Posted 02/02/08

I am brand new to Philadelphia and I needed to find a salon. I found Salon Thalia on citysearch and decided to check it out for myself after reading the reviews. I was especially nervous about going to a salon because even though I was in serious need of a haircut, I am getting married in April and I was nervous about my hair being ok for the wedding. But as I said, I was in serious need of a haircut and I felt confident about this salon after checking out the webiste and the reviews.
The salon is beautiful: you can't help but feel relaxed and calm when you walk in. Every single staff member that I came into contact with was pleasant and professional. Carter cut my hair and I could not have asked for a better stylist! He took time to listen to me about what I wanted and he gave helpful feedback and advice. He was meticulous in his cut- explaining to me what he was doing and why. He also explained each product he was using and what it would do for my hair and he gave me great styling tips. It was refreshing to have a stylist who obviously cares about what he does and takes his time with the cut. I would highly recommend this salon to everybody and I would especially recommend you get Carter!

Posted 01/29/08

I was recently referred to Carolyn by a friend of mine and I'm so happy I gave her a try! I had been box-dyeing my hair for years, which I know is terrible but it always looked good until I got carried away and basically ruined it. Carolyn really did fix my hair and bring it back to a beautiful color without making me feel bad about doing it to myself and without charging me an arm and a leg for it. She also cut into my layers, making my hair feel lighter and look prettier than it has in a long time. Then, I got the best manicure ever from Cindy! She was quick, meticulous and does the best polish application! Everything was so nice about my experience here, I can't wait to go back! Plus, they carry all the best products - Kerastase, Bumble and Bumble and Shu Uemura which I couldn't find anywhere else.

Pros: Everything!

Cons: none come to mind

Go see Cindy for manicures and pedicures here! I have been getting my nails done since I was a little kid and I can honestly say, she is the best! She is incredibly thorough and gets my feet looking and feeling beautiful (and believe me, they are not starting off that way at all)! Also, she does the most amazing nail designs - everything from little intricate flowers to skulls! My friends thought I had put little skull stickers on my nails - that's how detailed they were. Its like she's literally painting masterpieces on your nails. And to top it all off, she rubbed my neck and back (no charge!) while my nails were drying! Cindy is the best in the city and her prices are etremely reasonable.

Pros: Cindy

Cons: none

I have never placed a review of anything on the internet, but this one is definitely warranted. I have been going to Memories for brazilian waxing for months and she is the best. I have been to at least four other spas in this city and others in the past and NONE compare, both in terms of minimizing pain and results. (If you are only getting eyebrows done, you won't even feel a thing!). She is so easy going and friendly -- great for first timers who are nervous.

Pros: Waxing, Haircuts

My wife did not say anything when she was their at the salon but when she got home she was so unset with how her hair turned out. She went their because her old stylist at her other salon had left. Now she is going back to her old salon and hoping they can fix what happened.

LOVE, LOVE the salon and Wyatt is absolutely awesome. I am compelled to write this review only because after being with the same stylist for seven years who is three hours away, I was referred to Wyatt and now, will no longer be making the drive to my other stylist. From the friendliness of all at the salon to Wyatt's amazing color/cut - I have absolutely NO complaints. And to think, I almost cancelled this appointment. Wyatt's skills/technique are fabulous and I felt incredibly comfortable with him. Actually, shortly after I sat down and talked about my hair with him, I really had no fear of Wyatt handling my hair. He completely paid attention to detail with regard to both the cut and highlights (fantastic placement!!) To my surprise, Wyatt truly met and exceeded my expectations. And, he's got a great sense of humor to boot - can't beat that! I couldn't have anticipated a better first experience, especially considering I was the last person in the salon on a Saturday evening and DIDN'T feel like he was rushing to get me out the door.
