I loved my experience here. Please take my constructive suggestions as just that. I really wanted…read moreto give five stars. Five stars are within your reach. I enjoyed my 90 minute hot stone massage yesterday and loved my facial that was scheduled today at 11. There are a few quirks that prompt me to leave just four stars. I'm well versed in spa experiences all over the country and hope my comments are helpful. First quirk: Odd two hour limit. If your time enjoying the spa amenities exceeds two hours (either before or after your treatment) you will be charged $30 an hour. I've never seen this rule at any other spa I've been to. Watching the clock does not lend itself to relaxation . Treatments are expensive and this feels like a bit of a money grab. Second quirk- limited hours. This spa is not open on Monday and Tuesday. I found out today the spa doesn't open until 11am on Thursdays (the time of my scheduled appointment). I arrived a little after 10am with a plan to use the hot tub and steam room before my facial. (With that two hour limit in mind). Instead I sat on a step outside. They did open the doors at 10:25. I suggest installing a couple benches outside the entrance. I'm not used to a spa opening so late in the day. I prefer not to use a hot tub or steam after a facial. I like the wonderful products to stay put on my face. Third quirk: It is 2026. Please set up online booking vs the only other option: calling to book services. Please, please, please make this happen! Fourth quirk- consider providing a bowl of apples (or other fruit option) in addition to the complementary Nature Valley bar. Today's bar had 18g carbs 9 g of sugar. Not a healthy choice for people watching their A1C. Note- there are a couple options for purchase and a drink menu available. Loved- the water, coffee, and tea station. Loved- the comfy spa robe and plush towels. Loved- the clean, relaxing, well appointed facilities. Well done! Loved- the entire team is extremely helpful and friendly. A million stars go to Pamela for an amazing hot stone massage and Casie for an incredible facial! These ladies are both gifts to humanity and obviously love what they do. What a memorable, therapeutic, beautiful experience. Thank you both! Loved- Eminence Products are THE best and used for their facials. I appreciated the product recommendations.

This place is fabulous!…read more A bunch of hairdressers who were tired of the crap they took at their regular salons got together and created one they way they wanted it - and they did a helluva job! The salon itself is really beautiful. Big open space, decorated with just enough panache to be interesting, not so much you are rolling your eyes - Goldilocks perfect. The stations are open and make the most of the space - which is quite large. Excellent natural light from the windows covering half of the wall space, so it feels even more open and welcoming. They keep it really clean, which is really nice for a salon. The bathrooms are spotless, and the rest of the place looks first client-fresh all day. My hairdresser, Laurie - who I recommend wholeheartedly - is so happy there. She's been at a number of salons in the city and she feels completely at home here. So - a moment just for Laurie - she is amazing. Seriously knows her stuff, but will do whatever you want. You know how some hairdressers listen to what you want with your very own hair an then do something totally different? I hate that SO MUCH! Laurie is so not like that - she talks to you before she does anything, makes sure she knows what you want and discusses the entire process with you before she starts. On top of that, if you aren't really certain what you want, she will make all kinds of awesome suggestions and it is in your best interests to listen to her. She really does know her stuff. Plus - she is just really nice and fun to talk to - pretty important in a hair dresser! Regarding the review written by Sara P: Kayla was all about Groupon and Living Social, and that seemed to be going well, but she had a family emergency and actually moved back home to another state to help her family. Living Social is supposed to be handling refunds, but the other hairdressers at Shear Brilliance would be happy to provide you with the service you requested. I understand you were frustrated, but leaving a 1-star review for an entire business, composed of multiple independent contractors, based on your limited interactions with one person, especially now that you know the extreme circumstances - well, it's just not fair. Anyway - I truly love Shear Brilliance and support them wholeheartedly. They are a wonderful group of people, doing a job they love in a place they created together, and it's just plain fun to go there. Please give it a try - Laurie is the best, but all of them are worth your time and money.
