Had an amazing first experience at Face Foundrié on Grand Avenue in Saint Paul. I love the whole…read moreconcept of the business making facials more accessible to the general population without costing a fortune! I've always wanted to get a facial but was always deterred by the cost, the Sculpt facial plus the lip treatment I did was a whopping $79, paired with the quality of the experience, highly recommend! My esthetician Hannah O was super sweet and did a great job with the consultation and was just really friendly overall. After the consultation we didn't speak much which allowed me to take a little cat nap during my facial :)! Sculpt is described using Hungarian massage and facial cupping to lift, tighten, and tone the face. After it was over I left feeling refreshed and extremely relaxed. They have an option to do a $79 monthly membership for facials, which seems like a good investment as they have a handful of facial options doing different things. Only complaint: They did not have men's sized spa headbands so the products were getting in my hair and behind my ears, which was slightly off putting, so I'm hoping Face Foundrié will get ones that fit multiple head sizes. All in all a great experience and would come back!

I did see this on the agreement when booking, but the fact that I had to go to work unexpectedly and they "already waived the fee" for me two years ago made this entire situation infuriating. EDIT: The response to this review only supports my original conclusion toward this company with phrases like "you threatened to leave a bad review" and "if you didn't get your way" which is exactly why I attached screenshots. I will gladly let them keep my $85 if it encourages potential clients to take their business elsewhere. It is also inaccurate that their policy is industry standard, as I've worked at a salon and am currently a happy patron at several others.

I'm not sure why this location asked, because they didn't seem to follow anything I wrote. This was for my boyfriend's birthday and his name was not on the sign when we walked in, despite me listing that in the paperwork. In the past for my birthday, I have also gotten a card. But nothing here. My boyfriend also didn't want his feet touched and that was also listed in the paperwork. Unfortunately that was not followed. We were brought to our locker rooms and they were clean, had our names and chocolates in the lockers. Very nice touch! Our robe sizes and slides were also in our lockers. There is a large shower, 2 bathroom stalls and vanity with make up lighting. We then walked to the lobby area. This was where we started to have thoughts. Employees were talking in full volume. Not very relaxing. They also kept coming in and out of the room, talking, stocking snacks constantly! Again not very relaxing. The water was nice with a lemon. My boyfriend went to get water for hot tea but the water was room temp. Not very comforting. The massages were nice. I had Ingrid and she was lovely! She did a great job and was soft in speaking during the massage. My boyfriend said his massage therapist was talking at normal volume and didn't find it as relaxing. Afterwards we said in the lobby area again. In my opinion, the fireplace at maple grove is more welcoming and comforting. This place had what looked like a diffuser and eventually it turned off and started beeping. Again not relaxing. The lobby area is also larger at the maple grove location. This location left me a bit perplexed as to why the reviews are better here than at the maple grove location....

Parking - mainly metered spots. However, my confirmation email stated that after 5pm, you can park…read morein the small attached lot. Entrance - they're located on the second level. I didn't notice an elevator, but perhaps I just missed it. Once on that level they have several doors, but you enter the one with the opened door and the little sign out front. Arrival - I arrived early, just in case there were intake forms or I needed to change beforehand. However, they don't have a changing room or lockers. Instead, you change in your service room, with your items remaining there. Service - I booked a 1hr Deep Tissue Massage with Elsa, which was GREAT! The service started with burning something that smelled like Paolo Santo. The areas of pain welcomed the deep pressure, for other areas of my body it was too much. So I told her and she adjusted accordingly. There was music playing, which was a bit loud. However, it was soothing, with no odd pitches or tones so I didn't mind. What I did mind was the distractions from outside the room. Sadly, it was right by the entrance door (for that space) and the walls in the room don't go all the way up. Therefore, sounds of the heavy door opening and closing, people talking, squeaky floors as they walked by filled the air as I tried to immerse into the experience. During the service she did use some warm towels on me, and ended with the paolo santo (or perhaps it was sage) again. Departing- My massage therapist told me to meet her outside after I changed. I thought she meant outside of the service room so hung out in that lounge for a while, before deciding to go look for her, in the main lobby area. That's where I found and she checked me out. This made me wonder if there's a designated front desk/ guest service staff member. Anyway, while checking me out she also gave me a cup of water, her card, a promo card, Biscoff cookies and a mint. There were retail products there as well as in the previous room, but I didn't get a chance to really look before heading out. Anyway, based on my experience with Elsa, I would recommend and return.

She does a great job of listening to what I need, understanding the complexities of my hair, and executing a haircut that I LOVE. The salon overall is also lovely! It's a beautiful space, they throw fun events, and it has a designated parking lot (score!!). Their online scheduling tool is really easy to use, and they carry great product lines (but aren't pushy about them). Honestly, one of the best things about Gem is that Revival is across the street!

If you're looking for a salon with friendly, welcoming stylists who communicate well and make you…read morefeel comfortable, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. My experience was disappointing from beginning to end. The first stylist didn't take the time to communicate clearly about my haircut or make sure we were on the same page. I left with a haircut I wasn't happy with and feeling like the experience itself wasn't important. After contacting the salon, I met with the owner for a consultation. While she made some adjustments, the entire appointment was awkward. She barely spoke, so I found myself trying to carry the conversation just to break the silence. She didn't seem interested in building any rapport or making me feel comfortable. Near the end, she interrupted me while I was still talking, ended the appointment, and sent me on my way. I left feeling dismissed rather than cared for. The salon advertises itself as welcoming and experienced with diverse hair types, but my experience didn't reflect that level of customer care. I never felt listened to, valued, or genuinely welcomed. Every interaction felt like an obligation instead of someone who enjoys their work and wants clients to come back. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I think people should know that customer service here was just as disappointing as the haircut. I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this salon based on my experience.
