My experience here was for bridal party hair appointments for three of us. Our bride made the…read moreappointments in advance. I loved that we were offered mimosas and water almost immediately. I was happy to wait in the comfy seating area and also, to check out the small clothing area featuring boutique-ish items. Myself and the other bridesmaid waited a bit longer to start our appointments. I was the last to be helped, waiting about 15-20 minutes after our appointment time. Nevada was a joy to talk to and completed my simple hairstyle in less than 30 minutes. What ended up disappointing me, was that she said she was going to make my curls tighter so they would fall loosely as the day went on for the wedding itself. Unfortunately, the curls were already loose by the time I left the salon. I had to have another bridesmaid re-curl them before pictures. However, the braids and bun stayed perfectly throughout the night. The bride struggled with her stylist not taking into account the more simple and natural look she asked for. At the beginning she was loving it, but by the end she was very unhappy with all of the extra pinning that was done and we had to partially redo her hair when we got to the wedding venue. I was told my hair would be $70 when I went to pay. When the bride got her hair done two days prior for her bridal portraits, she paid $65 for a much more intricate and time-consuming style. So I questioned the price, and after the receptionist came back she said there was a miscommunication and the wedding planner had worked out an agreement for $60 each, which I accepted. I still struggled with the fact that the other two girls got charged the same price for hair that took at least three times as long to do as mine. It makes more sense to me to price based on intricacy and time to complete. My hair is much shorter than the other two ladies so I had less options for what to do with my hair, and I wanted to keep it simple. I just have a hard time justifying $60 for a hairstyle that took so little time, and that I had to fix myself anyway. Overall, this is an aesthetically beautiful salon but they need to make some adjustments to policies and pay more attention to detail. 3.5 stars rounding to 4.

Being from the west coast I was concerned about finding a salon here that would be able to hold up to the standards I was used to from Hawaii. As a husband and wife duo owning their salon in this location for the past 15 years they've built up a wonderful salon with very educated stylus's. If you check out their website bellahairsalon.com you will find answers to all your questions. Last week I had my color touch up done by Amy the owner, "WOW" she is hot stuff!! You have to read her bio on their website you will be so impressed and it's not just hype, her experiences are definitely a reality. I'm super picky when it comes to finding a good salon that can fit my needs which most of the time I'm out of luck. But not here at "BELLA!!! If you want your hair to look like you just came off a tv or movie set then you want Amy to do your hair‍ Another highlight (no pun intended lol) their prices are extremely affordable for what you get.

The salon itself was super clean and cute. I love when a salon has a good atmosphere and cute decor because it makes the whole experience feel so much more luxurious for a nice self-care day! Reasonable prices and an overall great experience!

Bait and switch pricing, uneven work…read more My daughter booked a highlight appointment and was quoted $220. She put down a $20 deposit to hold the appointment. When she went to check out, the bill was $294 -- a 34% increase over the quote -- with no explanation given during the service about why the price was changing. She wasn't told mid-appointment that costs were going up, wasn't asked to approve additional charges, and wasn't given the option to stop or scale back. The first time she heard a different number was at the register. When I take my truck for maintenance, I sign a quote. If the shop finds something extra, they call me before they touch it. That's standard practice in any service business -- you don't surprise the customer at checkout. A salon should be no different. The bigger problem: when she got home and we looked at her hair in natural light, the highlights are visibly uneven side-to-side. One side is processed deeper at the roots than the other. This isn't a subjective complaint -- you can see it in any mirror.

Great with cuts and color, and never has a problem giving good advice or listening to the client's needs and wants. What I like best about Laurie is that she uses her extensive experience to turn what I want into something that looks great for ME. She is great, and I highly recommend her. I may have to take mini-vacations back to the area just to get my hair cut/colored! She has also worked on my daughter's hair and each appointment is a pleasure. Also, kudos to Sarah, who gives excellent haircuts to my son-- and he has crazy cowlicks. Somehow, she makes his hair manageable. Thank you, Vogue of Swansboro! We will miss your great work!

I did not enjoy and would never ever recommend you buy a gift card that states what service. As I had ZERO idea what was paid at the time of the gift card purchased, I was in no position to argue. I had had the gift card three years but when I had gone in there to schedule a date..their schedule was always full or I was not in state. The spa service was good, front desk and their protocol was not. I would also encourage the owners to place on their discount that gift cards amounts be listed to the service and that changes to the cost should be negotiated upon arrival. As a business owner myself, I cannot imagine selling a service that has been paid for and then the person takes a third of the service away and still has to pay. A 30% gratuity is absolute nonsen...

The spa called the next day (as I made the appointment after they closed the day prior) and let me know that I could actually arrive just before my foot peel because I booked too much time in between services. I arrived and was greeted with an amazing smell, nice relaxing music and a friendly staff member. I filled out paperwork and the staff member showed me around. The space is extremely clean and very very well decorated. I waited a very short time in the relaxation area before Terry came to get me for my services. First we started with my eyebrows. Terry was extremely gentle and I almost fell asleep while she was tweezing my brows! She explained step by step of everything she was doing. Next she started my foot peel and covered all pertinent info with me. Lastly, Terry ended up checking me out and she provided her card in the event I had any questions or concerns. She gave fantastic service. Her touch and communication is definitely what I'm looking for when I visit any type of spa. Highly recommend!!
