great salon  4 Star Rating - Very good

I love this place! I came in with some messed up color -- and these guys delivered. They know corrective color. The space is amazing -- the stylists are friendly -- and punctual! -- low key vibe! Great service all around and the price is not bad! I'm hooked -- You should really check them out -- particularly if you are not happy with your color

Argania Salon De Beaute  5 Star Rating - World class

I was convinced to try Argania by a friend of mine who frequents the place. I was told that the place is just heavenly and they give the most wonderful manicures and massages. After going once, I was definitely hooked. The ladies that work there are just wonderful. They are very skilled and take their time so you never feel rushed. The place is also very clean and spacious.

Argaia Salon De Beaute 5 Star Rating - World class

I was a client of Mrs. Bentz (Monica) during several days of visits over the holidays 2007. As a gift, I was given quite a number of services. I was immediately impressed by Monica's beautiful engaging smile and non-invasive, yet personable, demeanor. She made me feel right at home. Her conversation was either educating or lightly appropriate and never made me feel as if I were being asked for a 30 minute review of my life, like so many cosmetologists, or masseuse do. There was clear evidence that Monica was focused on my needs, desires and comforts, so that she could provide me with a truly memorable experience. I find this to be the consummate professional and greatly appreciate finding a service provider with this attitude level.
Another very satisfying aspect to my visit was the way Monica showed tremendous skill and knowledge of her craft. This is the absolute hook that keeps me coming back time and time again. After hearing my needs & wants and taking an assessment of my skin and health, she was able to create several custom treatments for me, which made my skin feel and look better than I had ever seen it AND; she did this using fresh all natural ingredients, something that is very important to me.
One of my services was what I like to refer to as a "full body" waxing. I had everything except my head and back waxed. I was extremely anxious about the Brazilian portion of the waxings, but again, Monica was such a professional that my fears and tremblings faded right away. I should add that this was the first time I experienced waxing without skin irritation and issues.
I highly recommend Monica to anyone and I fully intend to frequent her services, indefinitely. I have never had a better esthetician, or cosmetologist. I have been to many high service salons, but none have given me the level of service and professionalism that Monica provided. If you visit her, I am sure you will be hooked too. Ask for an organic fruit mask!

Pros: All services and staff
Cons: parking

Definitely going back! 5 Star Rating - World class

I had a massage with Diana yesterday and I am hooked! I have had a decent amount of massages in my life, but she did things that no one else has ever done before. Maybe its because she was trained in Russia. Anyway I felt very relaxed and refreshed and I think she fixed my foot problem that I have had for over a year now. I went to an orthopedic surgeon because of a bone that was out of place, but he said the best thing to do was to take an anti-inflamatory that ended up making me have a major psoriasis attack. Yesterday Diana worked that bone back in place and my foot has not felt this good in a very long time. I would definitely recommend her, especially if you like deep tissue massage (I dont, but she was very caring to ask how the pressure was and adjusted accordingly). Thanks Diana!

Pros: Warm homey atmosphere, friendly staff

sweet sweet charolette 5 Star Rating - World class

I've been getting facials for years and I have to say Charolette is the BEST!!! I have very acne prone skin and have struggled with it for years. Nothing makes me feel better about my appearence than a visit to Charolette. She does an amazing job of extracting all the crazy build up and as a result my skin is much smoother and I break out far, far less. Facials aren't magic, but in Charolettes hands you'll swear she's a magician.

A hidden gem 4 Star Rating - Very good

This is a lovely, very cozy and clean space. Lots of beautiful touches (good music, calm atmosphere, comfortable furnishings). I see Charlotte for facials, lash tinting, waxing. Did I mention that she has massage training? Well she has the hands of an angel! With my facial she always gives me the most amazing neck massage(uh oh---now everyone's going to want one!).
Ever since I started having these facials done the quality of my skin has improved. I'm fair-skinned, super sensitive with issues like eczema and roseacea that pop up from time to time but now my skin is completely calm, has been for months. I've never had any kind of allergic reaction to any of their products...and that's unusual! But more importantly, I feel relaxed and beautiful when I leave. Now that's money well spent!

A Relaxing Day at the Spa 5 Star Rating - World class

I was feeling very stressed. I decided to do a full day at Argania. I had a manicure, pedicure, facial, and massage. The staff was extremely accomodating and professional. I have visited other spas in the past, and felt that I had to wait for each treatment to begin. There was never a point in my day at Argania that I felt even a hint of stress. I left Argania feeling very relaxed and beautiful!

Pros: great service, friendly staff, facial products
Cons: parking
