DO NOT SPEND YOURS OR OTHERS' MONEY HERE!!!!  1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

It's really a sad story of me spending my hard earned money at such an awful place. What I know is this, the owner is aware of how unhappy her staff is that they have nothing but horrible things to say about her and each other! I can't imagine what they say about the customers! And she is okay with this?! My girl friend was in town from LA and we thought a day of pampering would be lovely. The service was okay. Unfortunately my friend had a facial by a girl who couldn't wait to quit so she could move back to Vegas and start her life over. She was so bad, she forgot to put on the mask during the treatment. I had been in there to get a specialty facial in February and the wonderful lady who gave me my facial was superb at her job. She was very pleasant and knowledgeable. And when it came to our pedicures, we just wanted to leave. That's when we over-heard gossip with-in the spa. I'm sorry but this place has some screws loose. She needs to fire and re-hire!

Wonderful inside but parking was terrible  5 Star Rating - World class

The Sylvie workers are so friendly and chatted with me as I waited for a relaxing pedicure. They helped me pick out some hair products and makeup to purchase and even applied a bit of the makeup on me as I waited. The pedicure was so pampering and everything I could wish for. The only downfall was the horrible parking situation, I went during the weekday before downtown business hours were over so on street parking at the curbs was so difficult. I ended up blocks away after many times around the one-way streets of this difficult area to drive.

PROS: great products, pampering and great staff
CONS: leave lots of time to park

Great Service, but Not So Great Help at the Front Desk  4 Star Rating - Very good

I received a gift certificate from co-workers toward services at Sylvie Day Spa. The massage service was fantastic, but the customer service at the front desk was not as good. The girl who was at the front desk first said I owed one thing, then said another. I paid and left, then the next day I received a phone call from Sylvie's manager telling me I needed to come in that day and pay them an additional $35. I hope they've since gotten someone at the front desk who can add and subtract correctly, because it's highly inconvenient for customers to have to rearrange their schedules to accomodate employee errors.

Great pedicure!  5 Star Rating - World class

I've had a few pedicures at Sylvie and I always leave feeling as if I was royalty.

Have a glass of wine while the pedicurist massages away any stress or pain you little tootsies have been feeling. The sugar scrub leaves your skin feeling soft and refresed and your toes have never been prettier.

Ask the staff for resutaurant recomendations, they always know the best local places!

The cost is a bit higher then the little whole in the wall place, but it's worth every penny.

PROS:
CONS: parking can be a nightmare

Sylvie & Eric ROCK! 5 Star Rating - World class

I was recently in need of a change and went to see Eric at Sylvie's for a cut and color. After discussing what I was looking for, Eric sent me away with the new 'sassy' and fabulous look I was wanting! After more than a decade of having my hair colored, I've never been this happy! With his techniques - he was able to cut and color my hair in an hour. I've waited three hours in the past. Love his edgy ideas. He used Sidlab Hair Couture products - and I bought some to use at home as well - the products are GREAT! I had been using Bumble and Bumble prior to switching to Sidlab. Try them - you won't be disappointed. Sylvie is in a great location - a great spa atmosphere - and with parking, which is rare to find in the NW! Eric - - you ROCK! Thank you!!

Pros: Parking, Great Service, Wine, Atmosphere, Prompt
Cons: ???

Odessa for waxing! 5 Star Rating - World class

I've been a regular of Odessa's (for brazilian waxes) for about a year now - she is absolutely fantastic! I started at university last year, and haven't been able to find anyone as nice or as knowledgable about waxing as her, so it's always a relief to come home and book an appointment with her. She's very personable and makes you feel comfortable and at ease, which I think is a super important part of having good "down there" waxing experience. She uses the blue wax, which takes longer than strip wax (an appointment is an hour) but I've had both kinds used before and I really prefer Odessa's approach. She's very careful to make sure that you have a voice while you're being waxed - always asking if the wax is too hot, if you prefer small or large sections to be done, landing strip or full monty / completely bare, etc. I'd definitely recommend her to any first timers or anyone looking for a new esthetician that speciailizes in waxing!

Pros: Best brazilians
Cons: She's very popular - book an appointment well ahead of time!

I agree, SIDLAB is a problem!! 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

I have had bad experiences with Eric Alan and Sidlab also. Eric may be a good hairdresser but why does he move around so much? unreliable maybe? a bit crazy, definitely. DON'T deal with Sidlab!

SALON OWNERS BEWARE! 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

Eric Alan Nelson may be an incredible hairstylist? But when it comes to Sidlab Hair Couture he and his "vice president" are much less. They offer no guarantee for thier supposed high qualtiy hair products. And just in case your not happy dont bother trying to return them...........unless your willing to pay a non-disclosed 50% restocking fee!!!!! It all seems a little sketchy to me. I doubt if this business will around long.

Great salon services!!!! 5 Star Rating - World class

I LOVE this salon and spa! I have been a Sylvie customer for several years now and have ALWAYS had great service by knowledgable professionals. I get my hair done there by Victoria-she's the best for blonde hair I swear!!! Odessa is amazing in the spa!! Not only is everyone super friendly but they go above and beyond to make me comfortable and they keep me looking my best.

Pros: service, quality, super great smart staff!!
Cons: prices are a little high but still worth it
