Their work has been mediocre in the past but I wanted to give them another try. I called to let them know that I would be unable to make my appointment today as I am now required to work through my lunch. They are now charging me $50 even though I cannot make it in. This is super unprofessional. I have been doing hair for over 20 years and have worked in many spa's and have never experienced this type of behavior. Even in these times of days when it's hard to afford any sort of beauty services! DO NOT RECOMMEND. Don't get sick or have a work/family emergency the day of your appointment!

I've been coming here for awhile and usually love my experience so I'm pretty bummed about this-…read moreunfortunately, a product that's not pregnancy safe was used on me (Strawberry Rhubarb Masque) - even though I made it clear I was pregnant and asked if it was a pregnancy safe product in advance and mentioned that some products from that line aren't considered pregnancy safe. I wish this would have been double checked prior to being used on me because even if it's probably fine only happening once and (hopefully) it wasn't in a high dosage.. but was unable to confirm this - it still caused me immense anxiety that I really wish was avoided. I washed it off and emailed my doctor. But I still feel awful and wish more precaution was taken. This was my first facial since becoming pregnant (almost 27 weeks now) and I was really looking forward to it and thought I'd be safe here. Unfortunately I didn't feel safe and I wish I never came now. They don't have pregnancy pillows to accommodate pregnant individuals either. I'd go elsewhere if you're expecting but otherwise they usually do a great job... pretty disappointed this happened to me though /:

Yes, back facials are a thing and she does a fantastic job! For facials, I highly recommend the advance glow and lift. It cleanses/smoothens out your skin, reduces inflammation, removes pimples/dead skin, and slims down your face (lymphatic drainage). I also recommend the back facial to clean and remove deadskin/pimples to maintain that healthy skincare routine.

Lori is absolutely amazing. I've been trying to find someone like her for a long time: finally, a…read moreknowledgable cosmetologist who knows a lot about nail health and nail maintenance post polish/gels/extensions. The cheap affordable salons have really damaged my nails without providing any recommendations in how to maintain my nail health after gel manicures. Because of how thin and scratched up they are from the harsh filing/buffing/chemicals used at the cheaper salons, Lori brought back hydration to my nails and used a different technique to gentle file/buff my nails back to perfection. We avoided the gels/extensions and used special polish and treatments to help revive the nails to grow back healthier and stronger. She also recommended supplements to expedite the progress, so I'm thrilled to see the results in a few weeks. The spa is great, on the top floor in a quiet corner with tall windows. The decors and sound of water was so relaxing. Check-in staff was very friendly and offered tea/water. They're running a promotion right now: buy 3 manicures, get 1 free (def worth it IMO), so am looking forward to my next visit/check-up to get my nail health back to 100%.

I went in for a crux haircut with Jordyn this afternoon. Jordyn was professional and even though I…read morewasn't really sure how I wanted my hair styled, she made good suggestions and did a great job. Jordyn was very gentle with my hair, which I appreciated a lot. I see many low rated reviews regarding the 10% service fee, but I went in knowing about it because I read the need to know section of their website below: https://www.habitude.com/services/what-to-expect/ I didn't know what to expect about the quality of service from the crux intern haircut, but it was above my expectation. It was also nice to talk to Jordyn to get to know her and about the crux program. I wonder if the 10% service fee also goes to the crux program as well as other investments on the stylists here. Now, some concerns: I was initially scheduled for a haircut the previous week, but it got postponed because the stylist was out sick that day. Even though the front desk staff confirmed that she called me and left a voice message hours before the appointment, my phone received zero calls that day. I was able to rebook on the spot, but the receptionist booked me for two separate days by mistake. I realized that when I came home and checked my reservation status on my account. I was able to cancel the booking made by mistake early enough so that I could avoid the $50 no-show fee, but that was close. From such incidents, I presume staff here are not the best at managing appointments, so you should be ready to double check everything yourself. I'm docking a star for that.
