Something very strange about this place. My husband was having a lot of back pain so we looked up a…read moreplace to get a massage while visiting in Charlottesville. We went to the address listed online and couldn't find the place, so we called the phone number, and they said they just moved to a new location down the street, and said they had availability so to come right down. It was pretty hard to find, it was in the back behind another building. We got there at 3:45, he went in and then came right back out, they said they would be ready for him at 4. We waited in the car and at 4 a woman came out and gestured for him to come in. As he was walking in, she noticed me in the car and said "is that your wife in the car?" He told her yes, that I had driven him because his back hurt, and I was going to pick him up whenever he was done. Her demeanor changed and she stopped him from coming in, and she said that she couldn't take him, that the other girl would have to take him and it would be a one or two hour wait. He said nevermind and we left very confused. We ended up going to a different place in the fashion center that he said was great, but we are both still very confused about what is actually going on in this place.

My first experience with OverSould Healing was a reiki session with Mochani. She immediately made…read moreme feel safe and calm, explaining how the session would work (she is non-touch) and even used singing bowls and sage at the end. While on the table, she guided my intentions for the session and had me focus and imagine negative things floating away. I was able to let go of some very heavy things I'd been holding on to and came out of the session feeling so much lighter and more at peace. My second experience was with Cassidy for a 90 minute massage. I told her I'd booked it because I'd seen it was recommended after the reiki session and as a reiki master she explained the link and went into more depth with the connection between the two. She is extremely knowledgeable and explained things about my body that had been affected by my mental state of mind. She intuitively knew after working on me for a few minutes that cupping would be needed to increase the blood flow and asked if she could do that. Just surrender to her and let her work her magic! She also used the singing bowls at the end of my session. Overall, I went into these appointments wanting to just relax, grasping at straws to get negative energy out of me because what I was doing wasn't working. I left feeling so calm and happy and because of their consultations with so much information on how to move forward incorporating the principals of and understanding of how to keep that peace at home, make safe spaces for myself, and prioritize time for myself to prevent me from getting to the place I had been when I entered their door. It truly was a life changing experience and I cannot recommend this place enough.

The Charlottesville location was no exception. The folks at the front desk were super nice and efficient. Every therapist that came and met their customer was polite and cheery during their greeting. My therapist, Holly, made me feel at ease and was attentive as I described the areas I was experiencing issues. She did a great job of locating the difficult areas and sensing the "depth" of massage I requested and needed. At the end, I felt like all the kinks has been worked out, and that Holly had really paid attention to my responses and sore spots. Again, if you would like more frequent massages that one can afford, this is the place to go. For me, this is comparable to any place I've paid $100. It is not quite as intense as a massage at a chiropractor, but I'm sure ME could deliver a deep tissue Swedish massage with nearly the same effects.

But it is overshadowed by that loud employee room in the back and some therapist constantly trying to up sell once you get in the room. I'm here to decompress. I don't need a used car salesman giving me a massage. I'll never return to this place again! -Jerome

Review for Tips and Toes Nail Salon - April 2025…read more I visited Tips and Toes with my daughter for a mother-daughter day. We were looking forward to some quality time and self-care, and while the technicians were kind and the work itself was well done, I left the salon feeling taken advantage of due to the pricing and lack of transparency. Before going, I estimated the cost to be around $350, including tip--a generous allowance for what I expected. However, I was charged $467.31, including a 30% tip. I didn't have time to review the total immediately, as we had other appointments. Later, I returned to ask for an itemized receipt because the amount didn't feel right. Here's what was listed: * Daughter's gel pedicure - $70 * My full acrylic set with gel polish (hands) - $75 * Daughter's dip manicure - $65 * My full acrylic set (toes) - $60 * Classic pedicure add-on for my toes - $49 * Nail extension for daughter's dip manicure - $10 * Gel color add-on for my toes - $20 This brought the total for my toes alone to $129, despite the fact that I had already done all prep work myself the night before, including cutting cuticles and removing calluses. I simply wanted a full set of acrylics on my toes--not an additional $49 charge for a classic pedicure that wasn't requested. What's more, when I asked about pricing for future fill-ins, I was quoted $65 for hands and $110 for toes. I've never been charged anything close to that price for fill-ins on my toes in the past, and I've been getting my nails done for decades. At no point were prices posted anywhere in the salon or clearly communicated to us before services were rendered. If I had known that a full set on my toes would cost $129, I absolutely would have declined. That kind of expense was not foreseeable and, in my opinion, not clearly justified. The experience has left me feeling misled and disappointed. I believe in paying fairly for services, but customers deserve upfront transparency. I hope the salon considers posting visible pricing and being more communicative with clients about add-ons and their associated costs before starting services. I truly wanted to leave this salon feeling pampered and peaceful--but instead, I left with a sense of being taken advantage of. I'm sharing this in hopes that it encourages better practices for future clients.

I have mostly been here for waxes and Jessi is one of the best in town. I love her products because they don't irritate my skin and Jessi always has good tips in what to avoid after a wax. My eyebrows are always looking good! I was there the other day for a message with Stacy and it was fantastic! I had to take a nap afterwards. Stacy listened to my requests especially since I had an injured ankle and focused on the areas I felt I had the most stress and tension. The products that the Paragon provides for sale are also very good. I especially like the facial scrub. It does clear up your skin. It's worth trying some. Overall the services here are GREAT! The staff is friendly and listens when you have special requests. read more

My second brazilian wax performed by Jessie was as pain free as waxing can be. Very gentle,thorough and on a pain scale of 1-10 was like a 2 at the most compared to my first experience somewhere else which would rank at a good 7 for most of procedure. I will definitely return to Jessie for my waxing needs. Relaxing environment,very clean. Would also add I have never taken time to review things online but felt that I would take time to do so because my experience was awesome. read more

I've been coming to Holly's Nails for 4 years, and this was by far the worst experience I've had. I…read morehad an appointment, but I felt completely rushed through my service. The technician spent more time talking to another customer than paying attention to my nails. He rushed me to wash my hands and then was still trying to file my nails while I was standing at the counter getting ready to pay. I showed a reference photo of exactly what I wanted, but the final result looked nothing like it. The French tips are extremely thick, wide, and uneven instead of thin and natural. The shape is inconsistent, and the overall set looks rushed and unfinished. The white tips are so bulky that they look unnatural and distract from the entire manicure. To make matters worse, this was the most expensive set I've ever gotten there. After being a loyal customer for 4 years, I expected much better service, attention to detail, and professionalism. Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience, and I left unhappy with both the service and the quality of the nails.

I went in just to get my acrylics removed and a regular manicure. The machine they had me use to soak off the nails was absolutely disgusting -- it was covered in other people's nail dust and had an old, dirty paper towel in it. When the technician started applying the top coat, the polish began to smear and bubble. She and another employee started talking back and forth (clearly confused about whether it was gel or regular polish), but she left it as-is and told me to sit with the fans on my hands for over 20 minutes. When she finally came back, she looked at my nails and said, "Oh, this is gel!" At that point, she aggressively removed everything and told me to wash my hands. I told her I didn't want any polish at all after that mess. When I came back, she didn't even let me sit before rushing to put cuticle oil on--while there was still polish all around my cuticles. I asked her to please remove it, which she did, but then hurried me off like I was an inconvenience. After nearly two hours, I was charged $35 for this experience. One of the younger staff members claimed she "took $15 off," but I left on the verge of tears -- I'm not confrontational, and I just wanted to leave. My nails looked terrible, my skin was red, and I didn't even get an apology. Absolutely awful service, unsanitary equipment, and no accountability. Do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else.
