This place is a diamond in the ruff. Rural South Dakota doesn't offer much in means of newly emerging, current trends, hip ideas, and FUN girls atmosphere. I see the brunette Tara (there are 2 Tara's) for my hair, nails, and waxing. I'll specifically compliment Tara below for things she's done or her work I've seen firsT hand. But I'll also give you a run down of what they do. Let me break it down:
Waxing: the ONLY place within an 80 mile area that will do Brazilian waxing. And they do it well! No "oh I won't go there", as other places have done. Come on now, when all your bits are exposed, seeing it and saying no it just seem ridiculous. The girl I get my Brazilian (and hair) done with- Tara (the brunette- there are 2 Tara's!) is very professional, welcoming, and friendly. And very knowledgable. She will tell you how to position so she can get it ALL. And if you don't want it all- she'll leave some. She'll educate you on how to avoid ingrown hair, how to gently exfoliate the area, etc. The ladies also do legs, bikini, under the nose, arms, etc.
Tanning: they do it! Spray on or standing beds- it's available!
Nails: the have a small section for pedicures, but have a luxurious list up spa like treatments you can have done. Good selection of quality brand colors. Shellac! French mani's! Oh yes! And they're professional and up to date on how to safely remove polish without traumatizing your nails. Which yes, there are many other places in the surrounding area that will straight PEAL OFF your shellac if you let them!
Hair. Everything from coloring (the usual colors to pinks and purples), low lights, highlights, dyeing, perms, permanent or clip in extensions (and they Tara does damn fine job). Tara is WONDERFUL: I originally came in with pictures of what I thought I wanted. She took the time to educate me on the differences of tones, warmth vs. Cooler shades depending on skin tones, and how certain colors wouldn't hold well in my hair over time. I appreciated the education so much! She does my blonde and I've loved it everytime. We've experiments with different tones, caramel low lights, platinum. She's so great she'll flat out tell you if something is a bad idea. She's never told me no- just that I probably would t like it. She also takes the time to put my hair up in little do's that I have 1) no experience doing, and 2) no time for. She has taught me some quick tricks as well for easy hair do's. If you want a FoHawk they'll get it done!
Makeup: they do bridal parties all the time! Got a part to go to? They'll do it. Hair and makeup? Check. They even will do some awesome/freaky Halloween makeup! They carry Bare Essentials line. I like this brand, but their selection is limited.
They do men's hair cuts, color, nose, eyebrow, and back waxing. No Brazilians for the men here though. They also do men's pedicures.
They don't push their products (Lanza) hard. They make recommendations and offer suggestions. That's as far as they go.
They all seem to get along well, ask advice or opinions of one another, and they all treat their clients as if they've known them
Forever. Very friendly group of ladies!!
Prices at every manageable given their extensive selection of services and the fact they are semi-rural.
I highly recommend Tara (the brunette one!) she's easy going, fun, very educated on the newest, cutest, and best ideas for whatever you are looking for. Go see her! read more
