Renova Salon & Spa Coconut Grv
I'm spoiled. I admit it. I like having my hair and nails done and am not afraid to pay for it (ok spend HIS money for it. heh). We travel a lot so I find myself having to pick a new salon quite frequently. While in Coconut Grove I looked around a few of the salons and settled on Renova. I'm glad I did.
This is a full spa. They offer everything from waxing to massage, to facials to nails. I needed my hi-lights done, and got talked into adding some low-lights to it. Cost for both: $140
While he was washing out the coloring stuff, I decided to go ahead and let him cut it and blow it out too. This is $55 and includes a full scalp massage. Oh man did that ever feel good!
I adore the colors he chose (varying shades of blond) and am glad I let him surprise me rather than try to pick out the colors myself. He has a very good eye and feel for what his clients want. Turned out fabulous.
As for the cut, well, I like it, but will be going back in to get him to cut in some more layering. Not his fault, I wasn't real clear that I wanted just a ton of layers for a wispy-flighty-breezy feel. I am confident he'll do me right, and plan to pay for the full service again. (hey, it's an excuse for another scalp massage!)
I also had a manicure while here. The nail gal was fabulous. I let her pick a red shade, being in a daring mood (I usually go with subtle pinks). I have to tell you, this gal took some horrible nails and made them great. I mean they were so bad due to neglect that I was considering getting acrylics. No need now. I love my nails! Cost: $15
Next time I'm going for the full foot/hand spa special for $45.
Do give Renova a try. They know their stuff... and they feed ya the best mocha cappuccino ever.
PROS: Wonderful staff
CONS: pricey, but worth it
