Very, very sadly, I had to leave my beloved stylist, Tayler, and the cutest salon in the cutest…read moretown, due to the price increases. Originally, I sought out La Tua Bella due to (1) prices and (2) reviews. When I started going, every 8 weeks religiously 3+ years ago, I could get a haircut, root touch-up & highlights, for around $200 plus tip (and I always tipped $100+ in cash). By my last appointment, that price had snuck up to nearly $375 (plus tip). At that point, I could have the same services, completed at the same skill level, cheaper and without the 3 hour round-trip drive. In fact, my new salon is 10 minutes from my home. At my last appointment, I asked if older clients could be grandfathered-in on prices a bit and was told no. I was also told by a stylist that I wasn't the only one experiencing the very sudden and severe sticker shock, despite being assured that prices "have only gone up 10%." I can assure you, at least when I got up to the register, the prices basically doubled for the same services. Again, I'm extremely sad to have left this salon after 3+ faithful years. I just can't justify the expense, especially if the salon is unwilling to negotiate with existing clients.

I came up…read morefor my honeymoon weekend, and decided to treat myself to a long overdue haircut at La Tua Bella. The salon is absolutely gorgeous. From the minute I walked in, Sara treated me like royalty. She listened to what I wanted, as I did not want too much taken off my length.

Thank you ever so much, Sara, and I can't wait to book with you again next time we're back in Rhinebeck.

Zero Stars - Absolutely Disastrous Experience…read more I am beyond dissatisfied with my recent visit to Artisan Beauty. I had an appointment with Jessica, but upon arrival, I was not informed she was unavailable,/not there and my service was actually done by Abby, who I did not book with but since she didn't introduce herself I assumed she was Jessica. Abby was only a year out of school and had minimal experience. I intentionally avoided scheduling with her on the booking site due to her limited expertise, bait and switch. WTF. From the outset, Abby did not introduce herself or communicate with me effectively. During the haircut, it became evident that she was in over her head. I was informed midway through that I was her "first live bob," which immediately raised concerns. The result was a jagged, uneven haircut--particularly noticeable with one side much shorter than the other. When I asked about the back of my hair, I was shocked to hear that Abby had "left it" uncut, prompting me to ask, "Did you even cut the back?" She responded, "No, do you want me to?" At that point, I should have stopped the service altogether. I walked out without paying for the service, as I was appalled by the state of my hair. To make matters worse, Eden, the owner, was dismissive and condescending when I sought assistance. She insisted the cut was "fine" and downplayed my very real frustration. She'd fix it but if this is fine to her, no way was I letting her chop off more and making this nightmare worse. I am now left with a haircut that requires immediate correction from another stylist, and I'll be forced to wear a hat until it can be fixed. This experience was truly unacceptable, and I strongly advise anyone considering this salon to think twice. I fully expect a defensive, unprofessional response to this review from the owner, but I'm sharing my experience in hopes of preventing others from facing the same disappointment. Editing to say: after washing my hair twice, there is still terrible chemical smell that I can only compare to that 80's perm smell that I am old enough to remember what that smells like. What the hell chemical was used in my hair that I did not ok? To say I am mad is an understatement. How dare you do this to my hair? Editing again to say that the person who did this to my hair was Abby, not Amber, I edited my review, she failed to introduce herself to me at all I had to look her up on their booking site.

Sola Salon basically a big warehouse of salon spaces for rent; within it, there are hairdressers, massage therapists, facial, etc. I received a text from Danielle 5 minutes before my scheduled appointment to text her when I arrive so she can let me in; she came out promptly and greeted me warmly. Her space is clean and posh with upbeat music playing in the background. I was made comfortable given the always awkwardness of Brazilian wax job. She was super professional and told me about the package deal she offer on all of her services for discount (buy in 6 or 12 sessions; never expire). She uses hard wax which is sooo much better than the old wax & rip method. She is also very thorough; cleaned and moisturized my waxed area after. Total duration was only 15 minutes. Quick and done! I would definitely come back to her again.
