    A hair cut from Gaia.
    Jonathan B.

    A hair cut from Gaia. Not very pleased. Very nice staff and great salon but money was wasted on this haircut! Daughter has curly hair but when it was straightened this was the results. Choppy and uneven is an understatement!

    I can't say enough good things about Gaia and Mindy. Let me start out by saying I have combination hair, I'm Irish and American Indian so my hair is curly, thick, and fine. I've always had to style my hair, or it is just a wild mess of fluff. After I started seeing Mindy, I was able to wash my hair and just let it air dry and it always looks perfect, no need for styling. It was at that point that I realized, its not so much that my hair is a wild, crazy mess, it's the cuts I was getting. I've lived in different areas and Mindy is the only person who cut my hair and was able to tame it. I've since moved away from Manhattan but am seriously debating flying back to get Mindy to cut my hair. Sure, its inconvenient but its worth it. Since I've moved, I've had six different stylists cut my hair and no one can duplicate Mindy's results. She is an excellent stylist and colorist. Her demeanor is always very amenable, and she listens to what her clients say. I found Mindy after a bad cut at Platinum, she was able to help me out of a bad hair situation. She's cut my hair in super short lobs and longer styles when I grew it out too. An all-around skilled stylist with all hair types. The first pic is what it looks like when pretty much anyone else cuts it. This second pic is what my hair looks like with no styling when Mindy cuts it. Big difference, right? The first one pic makes me want to cry.

    Missing skin immediately after wax

    worst eyebrow waxing experience EVER!! Went in to get my eyebrows and lip waxed a couple days before an important event and left with multiple chunks of skin missing! I was unable to attend the event because the patches of missing skin were unable to be covered with makeup. Worst experience I've ever had and will never return to Gaia.

    Perfect blonde highlights by Haley @ Gaia Salonspa.

    I got highlights and a haircut by Hailey (not sure about how to spell her name). I am naturally dirty blonde and wanted some all over brightening but no obvious streaks or stripes. She hit the nail on the head and also gave me a really nice neck and shoulder massage. I am really happy with the job she did and I'd say I'm hard to please. Oh also, they use only Aveda products so you don't leave smelling like someone dumped a bottle of perfume over your head-- the fragrances are wonderful.

However, once Eric R. settled in Manhappiness, I needed to find someone local. I happened to sit next to the owner of Gaia Salonspa on a flight, and she convinced me to see Hannah and told me the wax is intended for people with sensitive skin. I have been a regular client of Hannah's for three years for waxing, and tried a facial with her as well. She is very professional, makes me feel comfortable, and has a lot of experience and training. When I found out a few weeks ago that she decided to start her own studio, I was excited for her (and also because it is down the street from my house). Today I visited Hannah for my first appointment at Luminous Esthetic Studio, and it was a great experience. She has a private studio within the Allure Salon, which is quaint and decorated very well. After the appointment, I paid with a chip card reader connected to her phone, and set up future appointments which immediately were texted to me as confirmations. I hope her appointments don't fill up because I sing her praises, but she is awesome and I am so glad I found a great aesthetician who is literally down the street!

I only found out when it was time to pay. As a college student who budgets carefully, this was really upsetting -- especially since I drove over an hour to get there thinking the prices were affordable. The stylist also gave me a haircut after I specifically asked if I was booked for one and explained I didn't want extra charges. She said she "had time" and went ahead, but then I was charged for it anyway. On top of that, I asked for a dark wine red and ended up with a super dark plum/purple that looks almost black in the light, which wasn't what I wanted. What really bothered me was the lack of communication. No one sat me down and explained what the extra services or costs would be, which would have let me make an informed decision. If I had known, I would have chosen differently. Instead, I left with a color I'm not happy with and a bill three times higher than expected. I also felt uncomfortable during the appointment because the stylist made negative comments about another client and her younger sisters. Overall, it was an unprofessional and disappointing experience, and I wouldn't recommend this salon if you're looking for transparency or customer care.

Nothing could be said of this place. I doubt the person giving me the wax job had ever been to any beach; otherwise, she would've taken her job even more seriously. The hot pan used was disgusting. The towels felt like the kind you'd probably find at a cheap motel. I think I was just not lucky enough to be 'helped' by an awful staff even though she was supposedly highly recommended. I wish I had remembered her name. Sure, she smiled when she walked into the room, but as soon as she started working, I knew I had made the biggest mistake. Not only did she seem to be in a rush, she was also sloppy. She also burned my skin. I would never go back.
