She is out of line and unprofessional and she should be turned into the beautician board and lose her licence. We all have opinions on things and her rant to me on the phone was inappropriate... she is mailing my money back to me but now I'm left with chopped hair, she said and good luck with your hair.. what a horrible thing to say to a customer. I would not go to this facility if you have a chance, they will mess up your hair if they don't like what you talk about or discuss in the shop... I'm livid!1

I wasn't even happy with them the day I got them, the other places lashes looked sparse and thin. I reached out to Emily, she was able to get me in the next day and turn my barely there lashes into fabulous full lashes. She also gave me great tips on how to help my own lashes get fuller and stronger to support more extensions. She walked me through how to clean my extensions and even booked my next three appointments! If your looking for full, natural looking lashes and other services-don't shop the rest, go to the best!

It seems like this salon offers quite a…read morefew services: coloring, male/female/children hair cuts, fancy up-dos, highlights/lowlights, massages, facial waxing, manicures, shellac manicures, pedicures, french manicures, and more. Studio 17 is interesting because it almost seems like a collective of a bunch of different professionals who happen to own the studio together. It's not a bad thing - it's kinda neat. But each "station" has a personal feel to it since it's one person's station, and each person decorates their own station how they want (unlike chain salons where each booth is shared by all of the staff). When you go to pay, you pay your salon professional individually - and if you use a card, you'll pay via the Square service on that professional's cell phone. So yeah, it seems like each person just happens to share the studio space. I love small businesses like that! The massage was quite enjoyable. I scheduled the appointment, and they managed to get me in same-day. You walk through the back-room (which is a storage area, possibly under construction, and not so pretty), but there's a small room in the back of the back room that's perfectly outfitted for massage. It has gentle music, a nice smell, gentle lighting, a warm temperature, perfect decorations, and everything. Honestly, I can't imagine a better massage space. It's far enough away from the studio and everything that you can't hear any noise aside from the music that's playing. The massage itself was great. It was my first massage, so I didn't do exactly what I was supposed to, but instead of mentioning it or asking me to change it, the massage therapist just pulled out an extra blanket from a corner and fixed the problem. I, of course, asked if I did something wrong to know for next time, and she was very friendly about letting me know. It's nice to know that she would go out of her way to make sure I was so relaxed and wasn't worried that I did something wrong. Very great massage, and I checked the time, and she even ran about 5 minutes over what I paid for. Great rates too. You can get an hour and a half for VERY reasonable rates. I liked my massage so much that I booked an appointment to get my tips dyed purple. It was more difficult to get a hair appointment, but they fit me in on one of my two choice days the next week. I went in for the appointment, and I was promptly taken in. The stylist was polite and not-too-chatty. She asked a rather personal question, but I don't think it was asked with rude intent. She did a fantastic job with my hair, and honestly, it looks stunning. I'm not sure how long the purple is going to last, but she did a great job following my requests, the purple is very vibrant, and she was gentle with my long hair too - even after it got knotted from the blow dry. Considering it took about two hours (mostly of me sitting and waiting for color to set, but I brought a book), the fee was completely reasonable. Once the color starts to fade, I'll be back in to see her to get it recolored. Maybe pink this time. (They offer a HUGE selection of awesome colors including natural colors if you want) The salon itself is well put together. It looks professional, and while it's obvious they could benefit from a bit more floor space, they make it work for them. It's comfortable, looks professional, and everyone there is friendly. My only complaint is they don't have a website. They have a Facebook that's semi-active, but seeing all their prices/services would be nice at a glance. They offer brochures in-store that you can see, or you can always call, but a website would be awesome. Final Thoughts: Great small business. If you find a favorite stylist, it seems pretty easy to book appointments only through them. They do a great job with good quality, and judging by the regulars that were in there, lots of Oelwein residents love this place. I'll definitely be back, and I love supporting a small business that's definitely producing awesome results at very affordable prices.

I vowed to never let anyone thread my eyebrows anymore after 1 visit here. I've had my eyebrows…read morethreaded for the past 7 years and this one was probably the worst. I don't live in Rochester, MN but was due for a cleaning. There was a woman who sat behind the counter on the phone. She approached the girl who was next up but that girl requested for another woman. So, that woman behind the counter came towards me. I specifically told her not to thread my eyebrows a certain way but she didn't seem to listen. My eyebrows turned out exactly what I told her not to do. I told her how I wanted it fixed. She attempted to fix it then handed me the mirror. My eyebrows were very thin and uneven! It looked like two different eyebrows on my face. I wanted to cry but told her I will just pay for it and fix it at home. Be cautious. It is true. Service is inconsistent. I wouldn't do it unless you know who will be threading your eyebrows.

I felt so beautiful the day of the wedding - largely because I had wonderful people taking care of me so I wouldn't have to worry about messing up my make-up or hair! Sara is an incredibly positive and optimistic person - she did a great job of bringing a presence that was calm (but fun!) and was talking about how perfect the day would be. It was really great to have someone with a personality like hers to help me get ready for such a special occasion. She did my trial on the same day of our engagement pictures and she listened to my requests (I wanted to look like myself aka no heavy make-up) and knew the exact right products to use. I did the trial + day of package which included a product (I think just one but maybe it was 2 or 3? AH! I can't remember) but I still use those products 6 months later because I love them so much. My make-up stayed for the entire day and still looked great 10-12 hours after she did it. She was on-time and very professional. Would totally recommend About Face - and make sure you ask for Sara!
