    What I got.
    Justine N.

    I had my hair done last night by Ann. She is a lovely person. BUT... I'm just not happy. I have wavy/curly hair, with some very fine highlights that are about 8 months old. Other than the old, minimal highlights, my hair was in its natural state - light brown with some gray. HOWEVER, I have tons of experience having my hair colored professionally, with good results. I've done full foils, highlights and lowlights, double process platinum, balayage, had it colored dark brown, red... so I know what a stylist should be capable of with my hair. I asked Ann for face framing balayage type highlights, and showed her quite a few photos from Pinterest. I said I preferred a cooler tone. For my cut, I asked for a basic layered cut, "round layers, with the shortest hitting the top of my ear, some longer bangs and face framing." I said that I like the option to wear my hair both curly and blown out, but more often naturally curly (hence the layers). I asked for it to be cut down the center so that I could wear it that way and also flipped to either side, depending on my mood. After all of this, Ann initially suggested pulling my hair through a cap. What? No. I nipped that idea in the bud really quickly, saying I liked a natural, "not stripey" look. I said that I preferred foils. I emphasized again that I liked a natural look, not chunky. She seemed to understand what I was talking about, said the photos I showed her made it clear what I was looking for in terms of color, and we proceeded. She didn't seem very methodical in her foil placement when it came to blending. A few times she removed the foils in the front to dab more bleach in places, and then reapply the foils. Sigh. When she removed the foils at the bowl, the first thing she did was aggressively wash my hair with a purple shampoo, really concentrating with scrubbing at the front of my hairline, and that was when I realized I was potentially in trouble. Still, I didn't say anything, hoping she knew what she was doing. Then she toned, which is not something I'm unaccustomed to - but she mentioned having a hard time "matching the rest of my hair." When she sat me back at her station, I wasn't quite able to see the color up close. I thought maybe I needed some time to get used to it... but I didn't instantly love it. Self doubt and being raised as a polite Midwesterner stopped me from speaking up. I should have. I was pretty sure I had realistic expectations, I knew my color and texture were my own - that it wouldn't look exactly like the pictures but I expected it to be much, much closer. I felt like I needed to get home and get my hands in it, and to really see it up close, without her standing there watching me. You can see the photo example I provided (one of many), and then my results. I've got hot roots, some brass, some cool... the overall result is so uneven in places, and that color placement is just bad. In the photo I showed her, the face framing was soft and gradual. I have 2008 chunks. I literally hate it. I called the salon and asked to speak with the manager, to be told by the "front desk manager" (very nice girl) that it was a booth rental operation and that if I saw someone else to correct, I'd be charged again. She offered to speak with Ann, and while I appreciate that, but I'm not sure what the point is. I am not the type to complain... but this was not the experience I was hoping for and I am left really hating what I see in the mirror. ETA: Ann did call me personally, apologized profusely and offered to try to fix it. I genuinely appreciated that. HOWEVER, she also said "I should have tried to talk you out of that heavy bang." Umm, what? Obviously she wasn't listening to what I was saying, or understanding at all what I was looking for. A face framing highlight is not asking for only your bangs to be highlighted. I never ever said "please make only my bangs a combination of white and gold." I showed her several photos of gradual, soft highlights, and asked to softly blend them towards the back so that I didn't have blonde in the front and just brown in the back. She seemed clear, and said she understood perfectly what I meant. And, it's not just the fact that the highlights are much thicker than what I asked for, and not blended... they are uneven. I have hot roots, and uneven color. There is a portion of highlighting in my crown that wasn't there when i walked in. For her to attempt to put this on me like I didn't ask for the right service is unacceptable. At any rate, she did attempt to make the situation right by attempting to fix the color, and when I didn't agree to that she offered to refund my money. I appreciate that, and since I will now be spending at least another two hours in a salon and paying for another professional to fix this, I will take that refund. To be clear, this wasn't the experience I was hoping for when I walked in there last night, and calling to complain was not fun... but I deserved to like my results.

    Summer is the best. My hair was a mess from someone else and Summer and I made a plan to fix this mess. It looks so much better.

    It's a natural look that gives a statement, and Mandi is great at creating that.

    Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing…read more We booked a full body scrub, massage, and facial. The scrub itself was fine, but afterward I was told to shower and that the moisturizer application normally done after the scrub would be skipped since I was scheduled for a massage next. The massage ended up being one of the worst I've ever had. The therapist smelled strongly of cigarettes and was breathing heavily throughout the entire service, which made it very difficult to relax. I was also never turned over during the massage, meaning the entire front side of my body was never worked on, so actually no moisturizer was applied to the front side of my body. During my facial I was told it would include a scalp massage, neck and shoulder massage, and hand/arm massage. Unfortunately, the arm and hand massage was never done. Considering the amount of money spent, the services felt incomplete and the overall experience was mediocre at best. To make matters worse, a 20% gratuity was automatically added, which is frustrating when the services themselves were not fully delivered. I really wanted this to be a highlight of our girls' weekend, but unfortunately my experience fell far short of expectations.

    My son set me up as a surprise gift to have my hair highlighted and cut here. He lives in…read moreGatlinburg and knows the best places and deals. I met with Stacy and she is talented!! She took care of me like I was so special. The salon is definitely not snobbish for its upscale environment. Every employee was warm and kind. And happy. They do a 30% off all the time for Tennesseans living with in 60 miles!! That's on every service provided. If you live here you can really score on great hair color cut and other services. Stacy made my hair look so good!

    Traveled to Cashiers to Canyon Spa when we couldn't get a reservation at Old Edwards Inn Spa in…read moreHighlands because they were booked up. We couldn't have been happier with the great service we received here. The spa is set amid a beautiful canyon and provides great scenery, but the real 5-star experience is in the small building- now the Canyon Spa- that used to be the home of the community's caretaker. This is far from an extravagant spa facility and they do not have extensive amenities such as sauna/steam/jacuzzi, but the building is very clean, relaxing, and well appointed with luxurious and comfortable pleasantries and the service is top notch. Our massage treatments were great (my wife's was a maternity massage which she was very satisfied with) and we felt relaxed and not rushed at all. This may not have the pomp and circumstance of Old Edwards, but I haven't had many, if any, better actual massage treatments. Thanks!

    We had an amazing few hours at the Canyon Spa at Lonesome Valley. The property itself is gorgeous…read more The spa prices are competitive. We walked in and were welcomed and brought in for a nice relaxing experience. I got the prenatal message by Tessa, she has the hands of an angel - amazing massage! My mother in law didn't love hers as much as I did, but she enjoyed it overall (hers was a male masseuse), but our friend agreed her scrub was fantastic. If we are in the area again, I will be back for a massage! The only downside to this spa is it doesn't have your typical spa amenities, I wouldn't take off stars for it but it would be nice if it had a dipping pool, sauna room or something additional to set the mood. On property is the Canyon Kitchen, which was closed for an event but we really wanted to sit out back for an appetizer and enjoy the beautiful views from the property.
