I love trying out new places and I love a good deal, which is how I found Balm & Bubble. I've never…read morehad a facial before, better yet, a hydrofacial, and Balm & Bubble's listing on GroupOn was too good to pass up ($65)! Savannah was able to book me on the same day. Finding the location can be tricky, make sure to follow the address that's listed on the coupon, NOT GOOGLE. There are two Balm & Bubble locations: one owned by Sara on William Cannon, and another by Savannah, who rents a space on Medical Parkway and one in Cedar Park. I went to the one on Medical Parkway. Parking was easy; Note: the building is located across Kendra Scott's HQ. Savannah's space is in a rented room within a shared building that feels a bit like an old dorm -- but don't let that stop you! Savannah was knowledgeable, don't be afraid to ask questions, as she's more reserved.

I cannot tell you how happy I am to find this nail salon. I live south of the river so have tried…read moreseveral places in the 12 years I have lived in Austin. One very well known place on S 1st that became less and less satisfactory over the last few years and one on S Lamar that was never very good but close to my house so convenient. I wanted to try Dazzle Dry polish as I normally only get regular polish but needed it to last for an event I am going to out of town in 5 days. The salon was empty when I got there so I was afraid they were not doing well but it began to fill up with people about 15-30 minutes later. The nail technician I had was wonderful and the manager (owner) was extremely attentive. Super happy with the way my nails turned out (I got a sheer pink on my fingers) and will definitely be returning.

This review was still in my draft bin much to my horror when I realized it…read more The young ladies will surely laugh when they finally read this (a draft) that I am releasing this evening! Much of Austin and the surrounding areas are missing one of the best homegrown shopping experiences you will ever have. Cotone clothing and Beauty is located with in the Domain. Fashion Forward and Hot,HOt, HOT !!!! The initial phase of the Domain was completed in March 2007. It is managed and owned by Simon Property Group of Indianapolis, Indiana. Sadly it's now the older part (if that's possible) and just a short distance from the new "Northern Territory". Fast Forward-a decade later, I have to believe the reason that this darling shop isn't completely overrun with customers is simply it's location. I just happened upon it while taking a stroll to walk off some lunch. An hour later I left, feeling like it was my lucky day! The customer service was extraordinary, the clothing unique and reasonably priced. The jewelry, handcrafted by local artisans....phenomenal! Shopping without buying is an art I have not mastered, but I believe even if I was the biggest curmudgeon in the world I couldn't have left Cottone without bringing something home. Much of the clothes are purchased in the owner's beloved Italy. Hand picked and brought back to Austin, I was lucky enough to have been introduced by the lovely young ladies who were helping me. Talk about going the extra mile...I was picking out different items to gift my daughters and grand daughter and even requested help with figuring out potential sizes and styles per their varying ages but this posed no problem and her expert guidance ended up working out for all of us. I left with a shopping bag full to the brim and some unique pieces of jewelry too, one of which quickly became a favorite and I wear it every day. I don't want to fail to mention that Alex's wife Jennifer operates the beauty bar located with the boutique. I purchased mascara, lip color and was gifted a lip balm. These are all organic products hand produces by Jennifer. First mascara EVER! (Ps-I'm old as dirt!) That has not made my eyes itch, water, burn etc. It's long lasting when applied and I chose the water proof version. I'm terribly embarrassed that I don't have the info with me to honor the two young women, who so graciously helped me that day.Sadly, but don't have the info with me so will return to this review and update it when I return home. So last but not least-young or young at heart go check out Cottone. You won't regret it!

Only 1 person out of 6 knows how to do designs, and the designs were not what I asked for. Over priced for 5/10 service. Also, they try to get you to do a review during the service which isn't ideal.

I typically go in and let her do whatever she likes, because I know that she's going to take everything about my hair and face shape into account.

Flexible, but still pretty quick. In and out in 35 minutes even with changing my mind on how short to cut my hair. Nice discount for UT students. It is a little difficult to find. When she tells you to stay left, stay left. All the way in the back (through the gate), in the far back left of the yard. When you hit the fence, then turn right.

The first reviewer said it all. These soaps are plain out Grrreat! Not only are they beautiful to…read moresee, they are wonderful to use in the bathroom sink, powder room or shower. While you might think they are a bit expensive, the bars last a long time and never lose their scent or ability to cleanse. Just like Maxwell House coffee, these soaps are good to the last drop. Also they are great for special gifts for your favorite folk and the delivery service is easy and good. I highly recommend them to anyone for the ultimate soap experience. Lastly, Leta is charming and easy to work with if you need a special order. While I have never met her, it seems as if I've known her all of my life. And to let you know, I found these soaps in Hill Country when i visited a number of years ago.

For $6 a bar and lasting a good 2-3 weeks for two people, the price is right. We found Hill Country Haiku's soaps in a small shop in Wimberley, Texas. But alas, we live nowhere near Wimberley or Spicewood where the soaps are made. Yay for a website with easy online ordering! The soaps are packed well, each wrapped carefully in colored tissue paper, and a hand-written thank you note is included. There hasn't been a Hill Country Haiku soap that my husband and I didn't enjoy. I particularly like the two honey soaps, the Seaweed Spa Bar, and the Lukenbach Lavender. We give their soaps away as gifts regularly, and everyone has been pleased.

This time I got a hydra facial that sucked all of the dirt out of my pores, it felt so good to clean out the dirt plus the extra needed hydration with the face mask at the end, feel like last week is now just a bad dream. Cannot recommend her enough, the place is SO covid safe as it's a smaller studio. I only interacted with Jess during my visit and I know she's extremely cautious day to day to help protect her clients. Also after a year of using her recommended environ products, I can tell such a difference in my skin.
