Im leaving for Rome in a week and found out the humidity there is about 80%. Im Puerto Rican and…read morehave extremely curly hair. I panicked and started searching Groupon for Keratin Deals. I ran across Ella & David's. I called to get information, David answered the phone and was extremely confident and answered my questions perfectly. I asked him if he had availability that same day, a Saturday mind you, and he told me to come right in. I did not even have to buy the Groupon and he still gave me the deal- cant say he will always do this but it was a great gesture. (Either way always call before you purchase Groupon's, sometimes they just post for advertisement). The salon was as busy as you would expect a salon to be on a saturday. However, without an appointment I only waited an hour. David talked me through other options and products to assist me through my "Rome Crisis." The entire Keratin process took about 3 hours, which i expected. The salon was great! Friendly, relaxed and everyone seemed to be a regular customer was treated like family. Ive been to other New York Salons and either everyone is up tight or they treat you like cattle. David and Ella's was amazing!!! So far my hair is pin straight. I am not a fan of the texture and feel but i'll wait until i wash it to really tell. I'll also post after Rome to let everyone know how it went. LAST AND FINAL NOTE: Ella's Salon is actually a salon that was located in an area that was devastated by hurricane Sandy. David and his stylist were kind enough take out their mani pedi spa area and allow Ella to set up shop. I just think that is just a really amazing gesture.

I'll start off by saying I have pretty curly hair (wavy and almost banana curls underneath) and…read moreI've blow dried and straightened it every other day for as long as I can remember. I was leaving to backpack Europe for two months (no blow dryer, straightener or serious $$ to spend at one of my previous Keratin salons) and stumbled across the Groupon for Ella and David's. I called to see if they had availability and David said to come in that Monday (I found out when I got there he had come in JUST for me that morning.. AWESOME) and he said they would still honor the Groupon deal without me purchasing it (saves them a fee!). (You are also offered a free mani or pedi OR a trim with the deal). David was amazing and I will 100% be back to get the treatment done again. Best part: I have not once touched a straightener since this treatment and use a blow drier occasionally. A little over two months later and my hair is still air drying with just a little bit of wave. I have had the Keratin treatment done 5-6 times before at expensive salons and I would be pulling out my straightener and blow dryer around this time. Not sure if it's what David uses or how he does it.. but I don't see myself needing another treatment for a few months from now. Paid half the price I normally do and looks to be lasting twice as long. Nothing bad to say about this place at all and can't wait to return!

I visited Spa Rockaway for the first time today! I called…read moreto book a same day appointment with Sandy because I noticed she had great reviews. I was quickly accommodated by the lovely receptionist, I think her name started with a T but I could be wrong. I was lucky to meet her in person when I showed up for my appointment. She was super kind and even offered me tea! I met with Sandra (Sandy) for my Deep Muscle Meltdown massage. As I entered the back where the massage room are located I was pleased with the aesthetics and I already began to feel relaxed while also excited for the service. Upon entering the massage room I noticed how clean it was and Sandy made me feel comfortable right away by showing me where I can place my clothes, how I should lie on the bed, and she asked just the right questions to know exactly what I was looking for in my experience today. Sandy is also super knowledgeable and shared with me exactly what areas she would be targeting after she learned about my daily activities through her targeted questions. When my massage was over I didn't want to leave! I was treated so well that I booked my next appointment before I left. Sandy is officially my masseuse at Spa Rockaway! Pat you have a lovely business/spa!
