My hairstylist used to rent a suite here and my aesthetician still does. Having been here a number of times, I have a few thoughts:
- They have a tablet up front where you can select the person you have an appointment with that notifies them that you have arrived. This is particularly helpful in this sort of place where their tenants are renting small salon suites but there is no reception service for clients.
- The salon suites here are smaller than I've seen at Solera and about the same size as those at Sola, which is relatively small/cramped. Water pressure in my stylist's space was noticeably weak and this was never fixed. This meant it took a fairly long time to rinse color from my hair. Not a huge issue for me, but I imagine it would be really frustrating for a hairstylist to have to deal with several times per day.
- There doesn't seem to be any kind of security here in the evenings. This can be particularly unsettling when someone enters a salon unexpectedly without an appointment. This happened when I was getting my hair done during one appointment and it made both me and my stylist jump out of our skin.
- I have only visited the restroom here on a couple of occasions and it wasn't terribly clean and trash was overflowing both times.
- In general, floors are not cleaned in the building regularly enough and it just looks a bit unkempt most of the time. One always wants to feel like they're getting their services performed in a place that is clean. Fortunately, the salon suites I have been in have been kept neat as as pin, so that's a positive.
- There are nice massage chairs you can use in the back while your hair is processing. They also provide water and coffee.
- There is a patio and water feature out back.
Overall, this place has the potential to be a good place for customers and tenants alike, but perhaps could use a bit more TLC to improve the experience. read more
