After driving 10 hrs to visit St. Albans, VT for the week and various (fun) activities while I've been here, I decided I was in desperate need of a massage. Empower Medspa fit me in for a 90 min deep tissue massage with Heather D. Let me tell you it was FANTASTIC! I'm a real spa and massage snob so I was hesitant to book at a medspa where massage really isn't the main focus. However, this massage was just what I needed! Heather was very knowledgeable of the pain and disc issues I had, as well as of the human body. She dug right in to my pain points and loosened my muscles significantly, it was a huge relief. She even had me turn on each side to really dig into spots that most massage therapists rarely touch. I highly recommend Heather and the Empower medspa!!

Besides the fact that the schedule is more doable and the program is less expensive than what is available in Burlington, Dawn Mulheron cannot be beat for knowledge of anatomy and massage and the ability to transfer her knowledge to her students. And besides that, she has an amazing spirit! As my program comes to a close, I am confident about my skills and knowledge. I will so miss my classmates and my weekly dose of "Wellness." I highly recommend the program!

Throughout our appointment, staff would walk away without saying anything and return later with no explanation. At one point, my girlfriend sat for about 10 minutes waiting for someone to finish coloring her toes without anyone telling her what was going on. We understand that salons get busy, but a simple "I'll be back in a few minutes" goes a long way. When customers are spending $120 for a relaxing experience, they deserve friendly service and basic communication. Unfortunately, we left feeling frustrated rather than relaxed.

I should have trusted my instincts and left, but I was there with a friend and decided to stay. The nail technician who did my manicure was extremely rough and actually caused three of my fingers to bleed. She barely spoke to me throughout the appointment, and when I asked for a simple design, she seemed irritated and annoyed by the request. The service felt rushed from start to finish. She didn't brush the nail dust off my hands, offer lotion, or provide any type of hand massage or finishing service. Unfortunately, things got worse during my pedicure. The chair I was assigned was torn and broken, yet it appeared to be one of the better chairs in the salon. The pedicure bowl had not been cleaned before I arrived. I watched it get a quick rinse and wipe-down while I waited. Once filled, the water was barely warm, and I noticed both a hair and a wood chip floating in it. The pedicure itself consisted of little more than a soak, minimal filing, and polish. The technician was also extremely rough while trimming my cuticles and caused two of my toes to bleed. There was no scrub, no lotion, no massage, and no warm towels. For a service that cost $95, I expected a much more professional and sanitary experience. To make matters worse, three of my gel nails chipped the very next day. Since I was only visiting the area and live far away, I had to pay another salon $15 to repair the damage. I contacted the manager to explain my experience and the issue with the chipped gel polish. The only resolution offered was an apology. I gave this salon an opportunity to address my concerns before leaving a review, but nothing was done to make the situation right. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this salon and would advise others to look elsewhere.

First off, I love a bit of cultural sass, so I already knew I was going to get some attitude for walking back in and asking them to fix the absolute tragedy they put on my hands. second, I heard Mary was good but obvs she had no openings. I took whoever was available. Big mistake. To preface: I'm visiting family in town and typically do my own Gel-X nails at home, and my cousin is a nail tech...so I know proper protocol and was just going in for a quick, fresh gel polish appointment. No extensions, no frills, just simple polish. Here's the rub: The first tech finished the entire "manicure" in under 40 minutes. At first, I was like, "Omg great, that was so fast!" Then I got outside into the blazing sun. These puppies looked like I'd been surviving in the wilderness for two weeks. The polish was a good 1/4 inch away from my cuticles, and the sides were completely flooded with sparkles and polish on my skin (which they just casually cured under the lamp instead of wiping up). I haaaaaate confrontation but I went back in and showed them the mess. One tech looked me dead in the eye and told me I was "just complaining." That pissed me off. Uh, yes, ma'am, I am! Look at it! I wasn't even trying to embarrass anyone, but she said the first tech stayed so far away from the cuticle to "prevent flooding and damage" like she was doing me a favor. Proper prep work and pushing cuticles back is Day 1 of nail school. The entire reason we pay professionals is so our nails don't look like a Walmart DIY project gone wrong. I literally walked out of your door 5 minutes ago and my hands already look like they need a fill. I would have happily taken a refund for the 40 minutes we both wasted, but instead, the other tech sat me down, buffed them off, and started redoing them--using my hands as a live, emergency tutorial to teach her coworker how to actually paint a nail and do cuticle work. She explained to her a few times how to do cuticles. Which was great, because I've been a beginner too, so I get it. But I was already pissed off for being called a complainer. Look, I'm all for a learning experience and no shame at all to these ladies besides doing work that isn't good quality and sassing me. I was once a young cosmetologist myself (now I'm an old one ), so I remember the youngling salon days. But do NOT get sassy with me and act like I'm crazy for your salon's terrible work. And the grand finale? The second tech's "expert" redo was still below par. In her rush to file the gel off my skin, she filed the corners right off the sides of my nails, leaving me with naked, raw edges that are ready to snag on my luggage. I'm over it. If you don't know how to do basic nails, don't run a salon. Save your money and learn to do your own gel nails at home! It's super easy and you'll save the hassle places like this cause. I'm off to Walmart to buy some holographic glitter polish to fix this disaster myself.
