I also suffer from severe migraines and sciatica. Every masseuse I have been to always asks where I want extra attention but I've never had anyone deliver like Erin! She has a lot of knowledge in the area and has taken extra courses to provide AMAZING relief for people who suffer from pain like myself. She not only focused on problematic areas through massage, but she also helped me with stretching. Erin is super friendly and spectacular at her job. You can tell she takes a lot of pride in her work and really enjoys it. She went above and beyond for me today. I can't thank her enough. I will be continuing to book with her. HIGHLY recommend seeing her!

Happy Dance! *^*^* Happy Face!…read more There's few people and few places I trust with my hair. On a weekend trip to Lake George, I decided the humidity was unbearable and I needed a hair cut. Living in Los Angeles where the weather is dry versus the hot and humidity of upstate NY, I was feeling miserable. I yelped Blended and rolled the dice. Kat did a great job with my hair! I am of mixed race so my hair is not the easiest to manage when it's cut too short. She really knows hair and the direction of hair growth. I didn't look like a drunk porcupine (I drank so much vodka on the plane ride - oh and thanks cabbie!) and I arrived at the dinner party looking so fresh and so clean-clean!!! Don't stop believin'!!! Anyway, this place is worth the detour. Like totally, next time when I'm in Manhattan, I'll just schedule a car service to take me here. After all, I can't exactly fly my L.A. Hairstylist to NY - she's busy, too! You can get beer-battered hot dogs in upstate NY and even catch that lady from NY Lotto, Yolanda Vega sitting at the neighborhood bar socializing with friends and neighbors!! Upstate NY is lovely and so is Blended! Whether you're Republican or Democrat, vote for Blended!!! Yes, I'm a bit tipsy right now but this is America and its my choice!!! God Bless America!!!!!!!!!!

[SEE UPDATE AT BOTTOM]…read more Went in for my first Brazilian on a whim when I realized my hair was long enough and I just didn't want to deal with shaving and razor burn anymore. The first-time customer discounts aren't clearly explained on the website - it says you can get a free brow, lip, or bikini LINE (not a Brazilian) for free, so I decided to get my brows done in addition. I got there and the lady told me that I'd be getting my Brazilian for half off (?) - if I had known that, I wouldn't have made the appointment for my brows, but they needed it so I stuck with it. The place is super clean, super classy, and super professional. I was really impressed with the environment and the customer service. I told Stephanie it was my first Brazilian wax and she was sooo so patient. She clarified all of the things I'd told her I'd researched online, was super great about explaining what she'd be doing, taking breaks when I said it hurt a bit, and keeping great conversation. She did my brows, too - I have thick brows and they're my favorite feature considering I don't like to wear makeup. The first thing she did was hand me a mirror and point out everything about their current shape that was complimenting my face, and what she was going to do to clean them up. I got to keep the mirror while she applied the wax, so I could see exactly what was being removed, as well as the after-wax tweezing touch-up. I did end up getting the hair-minimizing body wash and lotion, as well as the 12-month (which is actually 13 months for new customers) Brazilian wax package, because I really REALLY didn't want to shave. I felt very comfortable with my decisions and my experience, until I got home and finally inspected my Brazilian wax closely... THERE WAS A NOTICEABLE PATCH OF QUARTER INCH HAIRS RIGHT ON MY LABIA THAT WAS NOT WAXED. Not to mention several other long hairs that were clearly missed. I felt like I could get a smoother feeling by shaving, I was so disappointed. I called back to let them know, and they told me that they offer free touch-ups within five days, so I'll be going back and updating this afterwards. Stephanie has been waxing for three years, with two and a half of them at EWC, so I was kind of in shock (even for my first wax) that there were so many hairs. Did she not look?? UPDATE: I went to Emma for my touch up (today is Wednesday and my original wax was this past Sunday) and she was great. She could clearly see the patch that was missed from my last appointment and she easily took care of it with wax, while tweezing any other lone hairs. Her communication was great. Still not sure how all of the hair was missed in the first place, but ‍

I have very thin and fine hair so I've had difficulty finding styles best for my hair. She did an amazing job and I am so happy with my new cut! The salon was beautiful and I thought the prices were right on par. Rebecca waxed my eyebrows on this same visit and really sealed my new found love for this salon. She did an excellent job and was so kind ! She offers other services as well on the spa side of the salon which was super cool. All in all I will definitely be returning here to try more services. Highly recommend ! They do accommodate larger parties as well such as bridal parties which given this location make it a prime location for a bridal party (which I may be taking advantage of too soon!)

Went to their website to book an up-do and was very excited about my appointment, I've never had a…read moredisappointing service here. Booking online is quick and easy and I was able to get a slot in prior to my event that evening. I was greeted and welcomed in with lots of energy and things quickly turned to confusion for me as I was not sure why: 1. I needed to bring my hair dry to an up-do appointment (I have curly hair) -- every up do I've ever had at any other salon they actually have washed my hair first and then did my hair * my stylist told me it was not possible to dry my hair straight and do an up do in the time of an updo appointment. This caused major confusion and made my experience not really enjoyable as I was wondering why the stylist was mad I came to the appointment with wet hair. Additionally, I went online to check "how long" is an up do schedule for and its scheduled and priced the same as a wash cut and style at 1 hour and 15 minutes. My hair never takes more than around 20 minutes to dry and honestly, even without a Brazilian, my hair only took 40 minutes, which means it would leave 35 minutes for up doing. ----- I'm not sure if the stylist was rushing due to being overbooked or wanting a break or being mad my hair was wet. We had good chats and it turned into a decent experience about 20 minutes in once my hair was dried. ----- It is my fault I didn't come with any pictures I guess of what I wanted and they had no styling books that I could see. I told the stylist I wanted a "low bun thing that looks like a fold over similar to a braid that is a bit loose and has a bit of height and volume to the top and sides." Ultimately, it turned out alright - I had felt rushed the entire appointment which was booked for 1 hr 15 minutes, the stylist finished exactly at the 45 minute mark and that's with me taking 4 minutes to settle in. So the hair was 41 minutes for an hour and fifteen minute appointment. When I ask meta AI to create what I told the stylist, the hair I wanted came up, however, it was not what I received in person. Ultimately, the up do worked, photos came out okay and I can't blame anyone but myself for the fly aways and style, because I didn't bring photos. I don't know if I'll do this service here again, because 45 minutes of a 75 minute service and being told it was not possible due to me coming in with wet hair and not getting a shampoo.... This wasn't ideal. The fact you want clients coming in with dry hair should be somehow communicated to the client in the future. Plus, the stylists have different blow dryers, so getting a Dyson is not guaranteed. The experience was a lesson learned.
