Disappointed:
There was no one at the reception desk when I walked in Salons Within I waited for several minutes, while watching one lady get her hair styled, until another slyest asked if I had been helped yet. It is a no frills salon, so don't expect to be offered any tea, water, or other beverages. The salon needed to be cleaned. The glass display shelves were displaying more dust than anything else.
The room where facials are given is a dark depressing room with dark brown walls, brown wrinkled sheets, and dust on the shelving. It is also RIGHT NEXT to the mani/pedi stations - which was very loud! Impossible to have a relaxing facial. Patsy should have stepped out and ask them to keep it down a bit; or at least apologized for the noise after I made a comment that they sure are loud out there.
The facial itself was just so so. If I had to grade it I would give it a D. My skin did not feel better; it did not look better. I can do better at home. Patsy likes to talk, I know about her long hair dogs (Chihuahua), her health, her 2 sisters, her commute, where she worked before....but she never asked anything about me, or what I had planned for the rest of the day. It was all about her. The facial did come with hands being moisturized, and massaged, which is typically an enjoyable plus; sadly it was her finger nails that I experienced most. Not relaxing, not enjoyable.
I purchased a Groupon for a facial from Patsy, the esthetician at Salons Within, but sadly would not go back even for $1. It was a waste of time, and money. read more
