The front desk staff is also very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this location. The only downside I can think of isn't really their fault, mall parking. You get an hour for free, but then are charged after that. There is no validation. It also gets crazy around big shopping holidays.

I had a facial here with Jesyca before and she was so an amazing aesthetician. Leanne has a gentle hand with extractions, but she is precise and her attention to detail is so appreciated. You only have one face and if you want to take care of it seek her out. The relaxing music, comfortable warmed up bed, a nice massage, and a clean plump face made me so very happy. Overall it was a lovely experience and such a treat to meet such a skilled practitioner like Leanne. Will be back for a facial in a few weeks!

She comforted me and taught me how to breath so that the extraction would be less painful. Even though at some points I can still feel the burning sensation but it went by fast. She cleaned up my skin and offered oxygen treatment, and provided antibiotics ointment. The room was pretty chilly but she offered layers of blanket to keep you warm.

Total price was $137. Not a bad price but the quality was poor. They are really busy so is that a good excuse? Probably not.

However, after giving it some time and monitoring how badly my nails have been doing, I felt like I needed to share my experience. I had a pedicure with the extended massage, but unfortunately it didn't feel like a massage at all--it was mostly just scrubbing on my legs. I also had gel polish that needed to be removed, and the nail technician was extremely rough while filing it off. At one point, the filing actually hurt. She filed my nails down so much that they are now extremely thin, and one of my nails is already breaking off. What makes this especially frustrating is that I had been taking a break from nail services. I had only gotten gel once in the previous six months, had it serviced just once, and my natural nails were otherwise very healthy and strong. They had never broken or become this thin before. Now all of my nails are noticeably thin, even with polish and top coat, and I genuinely regret going to Radiance. I really wanted to give the salon the benefit of the doubt and see if my nails would recover, but after watching them continue to break and deteriorate, I feel this experience is worth sharing.

Suzanne has been doing my hair for a number of years now, and I followed her to Nobel Salon. The salon is pretty, clean, always a pleasure to be in. I love the easy access and always can get parking. All of the stylists are really nice. Suzanne knows her way beautifully around a haircut, can interpret what I am trying to ask for, or will get clarification if I'm not clear. Her color ability is phenomenal. She was doing my hair a soft mid red for many years, but as Covid hit I asked her to start to transition me to more natural gray but prettier and with some blond-beige and dark blond. It's lovely. When people see me I get rave reviews, but also people can't believe that the red she was making it before wasn't my natural color! read more

I love this salon! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, and Florence is truly one of a kind. She is honest, knowledgeable, and clearly knows what she's doing. I really appreciated how straightforward she was about what would work best for my hair, and she made the entire experience comfortable, stress-free, and enjoyable. Florence gave me a great deal on my color service, included a complimentary haircut, and completely fixed my hair. The results exceeded my expectations, and the pricing was very reasonable for the quality of work she provides. I highly recommend Florence to anyone looking for a talented stylist who genuinely cares about her clients and their hair goals. read more

My hair is thick, fine, and curly, which I'm happy about, but it is hard to find someone to cut it who understands what has to happen so it looks good. She does a fantastic job, and I always leave happy. For this last cut, she helped me figure out a shorter length that would work, look good, and be relatively simple to style. She suggested products and showed me the best ways to work with my hair in a realistic way. Regarding the products, she did not provide a pressure sale like some places do, just recommended it, which I really appreciate. My naturally blonde hair is gradually turning browner as I'm not in the sun as much, and sadly, since COVID, I have some white hair too. I feel it looks like a calico cat!!! Wendy gave me some high/low lights, and my only requests were that I didn't want to look fake, I wanted to make the contrast of the white blend in and bring me back to what I looked like pre-Covid and sunshine in my life. OMG, I absolutely love it! It is perfect. Frankly, it makes me feel happy and smile more to have the color I feel good about, which represents me. Wendy is so talented. Beyond that, she is a joy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable in her presence. She has even taken care of my cousins' hair when they came for a visit, and they too gave her great reviews.
