RESPONSE TO BUSINESS:…read more Let me get this straight, you are blaming me for your expired products and rude staff? Really? I was 100% given a hard time during the return process. The interaction was tense, dismissive, and uncomfortable, which is why I spoke up at the time. Whether that tone shows on "video" does not change how it was experienced in person. The facial also caused a major breakout. My skin is still healing! I've had plenty of facials before, and this is the first time I've ever had a reaction like this. I did not previously leave a positive review. This was my first visit and my only review. Instead of taking responsibility or apologizing, the spa is pointing fingers at me, citing "footage" and a supposed positive review that doesn't exist. Their response is ridiculous and only reinforces how unprofessional this business is. My original review stands. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I've never had such a hostile and weird experience at a spa. I spent over $125 on a facial and $100 for two products for my birthday, only to find it smelled disgusting and when I looked at it more closely it was expired. From the moment I walked in and tried to return them, the receptionist was aggressive, rude, and interrogating, as if I owed her an explanation. When I mentioned returning the second unopened item (that wasn't "expired"), she treated me even worse. I literally had to say, "There is no reason to be so nasty to me?" because her behavior was so unprofessional. She then called the owner in front of me, framing the situation to deny the return. I was told she would "make an exception," as if the return was some huge favor. FYI, I was never told products were nonrefundable, and selling expired ones should be corrected without argument. To top it off, the facial caused a horrific breakout. I won't be returning and would caution others before spending money here.

Debbie destroyed my hair!!!…read more I walked in with an appointment. I had long hair almost to my waist; I had been growing for years. I had a photo of exactly what I wanted, simply a few angled layers and side bangs. I wanted to keep the length and basically get the dead ends cut off and add a bit of style to my straight long hair. No big deal, right? WRONG! She told me she would take 1.5 inches off my hair. I ended up with at least 6 - 8 inches gone! Plus, she was so bitchy and LOUD and downright RUDE the whole time; especially when I tried to tell her to stop chopping off my hair! It was HORRIBLE hack job in the end. This woman should have her license revoked. A trained monkey could have done a better job. Thankfully, she asked Amber (who colored and cut my daughters hair with the same photo to perfection!) to put in the layers because DEBBIE was TOO BUSY to fix the mess she made. I have NEVER had such a terrible experience. It look me years to grow my hair and to have it chopped by this faux "stylist" was a NIGHTMARE! I guess you get what you pay for. Thank heavens for the lovely and talented Amber.

We booked our appointment a couple of months ago and reconfirmed by text, yet when we arrived, the stylists had clearly given our slot to a higher-priced service. One stylist even told us to "have a seat," despite the two of them openly discussing in front of us that the other client's service would take a long time -- meaning they knew our appointment was bumped before we even walked in. There is no one to answer the phone, and replies come through messy, unorganized texts. After making eye contact with the stylist, they told us to "come back in an hour," as if our time didn't matter. There also seems to be zero management. We walked out -- and as expected, no one ever followed up. At this point, we'd rather just go to the salon across the street with far better reviews and a more professional reputation.

Darren and Giancarlo are the ULTIMATE example of EXCELLENCE! Hands down the absolute BEST salon around! The salon is gorgeous. It's in a class of its own. There are so few salons left that give you first class treatment. When you leave the salon you will feel and look like a million dollars. During my consultation, Darren was extremely informative, explaining all the methods for extensions. I know I was asking a ton of questions and he genuinely was so kind and patient with me. I felt so comfortable right away. He takes his time to explain the process and aftercare which made me feel very comfortable. Amazing from the minute you walk thru those doors to when he performs his work to make you feel and look gorgeous. A true master at what he does, his passion shows In his work. My hair had the perfect length and volume I've always dreamed of and he was so right on the color. I wholeheartedly recommend Darren to all the woman that are looking for the best hair in town. Their whole team is so kind, warm and will help you achieve all your beauty needs. Customer for life... thank you so much guys! read more

Ego Salon & Spa is truly a gem--professional, welcoming, and consistently amazing. I've been seeing Pixie for my hair, and she is nothing short of a miracle worker. She listens, she gets your vision, and she delivers it flawlessly every time. Whether it's a bold new look or just a refresh, I always walk out feeling like the best version of myself. Her creativity, attention to detail, and warm energy make every appointment something to look forward to. And I can't say enough about the incredible owners, Giancarlo and Darren. They've created such a vibrant, inclusive, and stylish space where everyone feels like family. Their passion for what they do radiates throughout the salon, from the aesthetic to the energy of the team they've built. If you're looking for top-tier service with heart and artistry, Ego Salon & Spa is the place. Highly, highly recommend! read more

I'm letting you in on my biggest secret.... Ego Salon. Seriously talented people in this salon. If you want over the top gorgeous hair this is the place to go. They specialize in extensions and blonde hair but also do many other services. I walked in with dark brown hair and he said everyone should be blonde and he overtime has made me more blonde with each visit. I try his eye and vision for my hair. Darren will transform your life. The staff is so nice and it feels like you are hanging out with your friends. Other services they have are lashes and airbrush tanning and waxing. The salon itself is a beautiful and relaxing. It's embarrassing how much time I spend here. Definitely visit them you won't be disappointed. read more

My daughter was a victim of an absolute hack job at a previous salon; the damage was beyond repair, or so I thought. I frantically called various salons in the area and luckily finally spoke with GianCarlo, who reframed this disaster into a feesable project. He calmed both my daughter and I from screaming in the streets. A few days later, Darren put in extensions and corrected someone else's mistake better than I ever thought possible. My daughter looked like she was her beautiful self again. Fast forward 9 months when the last of the extensions came out, she is now enjoying her natural. I am grateful for the warm vibe, thoughtful people, and impeccable expertise of Ego salon. read more

I had to have the majority of the back of my head shaved and I hated the way my hair looked. I always had to have it up in a bun. In 2021 I started to look for places to get extensions and I was recommended to go Pixie at Ego. I came in for a consultation, expecting that my hair was too short for extensions , but she said she could do it. When I saw my hair after the appointment, I was just in shock. Pixie completely transformed my hair, I didn't think it was possible for it to look this good/seamless. read more
