I spoke with Mare, who's amazing by the way, and she suggested I try Ashiatu massage. I had never heard the term before. "Ashi" means foot. Therefore, it's a barefoot massage that involves using bare feet to apply strokes, assisted stretching the muscles. It's freaking awesome. I'm totally weirded out by feet, but I needed this. It the room looks all BDSMish, but it's totally not. She uses drilled poles to steady herself. I was so apprehensive but excited at the same time. Mare's sweet disposition put me at ease. I really valued my experience because I didn't think about her bare feet. I was relieved and listened to the flute and waves. If you're open and want to try a different type of massage, then this is a viable option. Did I mention they take FSA/HSA, too? Check of their list if serves. It seems they have a host of great medspa offerings such as IV Hydration, Sauna, inferred, and salon services.

I loved their new client form where it asked what I was looking for, what my budget was and to attach some pictures of my hair currently and what I wanted to accomplish. Based off my answers, they paired me with Layla. Layla was so sweet and really cared about what I wanted. She walked me through her thought process and answered any questions I had. They made me a latte, brought over a desk so I could work while I was there, and gave me a welcome gift. I absolutely loved how my hair color and cut turned out! I will definitely be back and am so happy I decided to try them out :)

She allows cleaning time in-between appts so that there is no overlap. Swooz is fully vaccinated, boostered and stays masked the entire time.

She showed me a hand bag she just made and it was stunning!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! P.S. Swooz insisted on photos afterward. I dread getting a photo taken, but she made it fun!

Been going to her for about 2 years now. She's the only one who told me to stop straightening my hair and showed me how to work with it's natural texture. The result... CURLS. I mean, where have you been all my life curls. When ever I go visit her I get compliments for days after. Her salon is very shabby chic with a touch of Paris and she's a one chair salon. Her appointment book fills up fast because of it; however, you are alone with her in the salon and get one on one care. Swooz really spends time with each client and gets to know them. And for all that attention she's considerably less expensive than those pretensions salon's Uptown! I tell everyone I know to call her. PS - bring your check book or cash. She doesn't take credit cards yet. PPS 6/4/14 She now takes credit cards.

NY fashion week hair styles have nothing on Borealis! Coming for a trim here is a HAIRAPY session…read morethat will leave you so satisfied you'll keep coming back for more. Many salons these days are all smoke a mirrors. They distract you with shiny things in hopes that you don't notice the mediocre hair style they managed to affix atop your head. Well, Borealis breaks that trend wide open. The stylists at Borealis are extremely professional and enjoy listening to some great music while you get your trim on. My personal experience has been with stylist Noel Lance. I cannot tell you how GREAT he is with color (both men's and women's)!! I've seen him take yesterday's wannabe and turn it into tomorrow's fad. If you decide to hang out with the guys and girls at Borealis, you will notice that the salon has some limited parking. Don't even try to park in the back (you will need a can opener to get out). Parking on the street can be very limited, so I'd suggest parking in the neighboring lot used by many businesses adjacent to the salon. The salon itself is an old house that is an interesting shade of seafoam green. The temperature in the back rooms can get a little warm in the summer, so please dress accordingly. Each stylist accepts credit cards and offer their own hand selected hair care product lines. You will easily make a friend or two with each visit. Everyone is very friendly and eager to satisfy. Again, if you're looking for a great color or cut, ask for Noel Lance! Tell him his Yelpers love his work!!! +1 (704) 287-8434 is his appointment line. PS they love to text if you are a busy person!!

EVERYTHING about this place is great…read more I went for the first time today, and I smiled before even walking through the door when I saw a cute little chalkboard that welcomed me by name as a new customer. I thought it was the sweetest gesture. The receptionist inside, was genuinely welcoming too! I was following a stylist who moved over here (Ashely) that had done my hair before, and I loved it, but she was out of town and recommended any of the other gals there. I ended up with Emily (who I saw was posted as employee of the month by the way ) and she did a wonderful job with my hair. Back story: I tried to get a rush appointment two weeks prior before going on vacation at a random salon in the area, and was not satisfied at all with outcome. I gave that Stylist a chance to correct it, and the color was worse the second time around with me having a skunk stripe on the right side of my head. When you have to fix another stylists two week old hair color, you got your work cut out for you, and Emily totally nailed it!! Now!! I have a dilemma -- both stylist are absolutely amazing -- who do I see next time? Ugh!! No matter what I'll be back-- for the first time since moving to the area, I'm looking forward to it.

First off I would like to say that my review is not a reflection of the salon as a whole. This…read morereview is regarding a particular independent stylist that is renting a place within the salon. Unfortunately there is no place to post an individual review about the independent stylist other than this location, so my apologies to the salon. On December 20th, 2014 I had an appointment with an independent stylist by the name of Monet (Instagram name: Monet Crochet). I was scheduled to receive a Blowout. I was referred to her by my sister in-law and I had seen Monet's seamless sew-in work on Instagram. I was so impressed and had high hopes about my blowout looking as good as those seamless sew-ins. I spoke with Monet's booking manager regarding pricing a month prior to the appointment and she quoted me $65-$120. She explained to me that it would be on the high end ONLY if I needed a cut (not a trim). The booking manager also informed me that I would receive a consultation prior to the service to discuss the confirmed price for the service. On the day of the appointment all went well until it came time to discuss the final price (at the end of the service). By the way, I never did receive a consultation and my hair was barely trimmed. So I'm pretty much thinking at this point it would definitely be on the low end ($65 because that's what I was told). NOPE!!! Ms. Monet quoted me $125 after I had received the services. Of course I was in complete shock and I honestly didn't want to cause any trouble by arguing the price. I did ask her why the price was so high and I mentioned to her that the booking person told me $65-$120. Monet's excuse was that it was a new client fee which included a wash and treatment and that the price would get lower each time I would come back. New client fee?????? Really??? What the heck??? I told her that this information was not explained to me when I set up the appointment. She didn't make any efforts to negotiate the price or show any type of compassion. I really didn't know what to do at that point and I didn't want to display bad character, so I paid the full price. When I got home I felt horrible about the situation and I felt as though I was taken advantage of as a new client and as a person. I decided to reach out to the booking manager to see if something could be worked out since she was the original person to misinform me. Long sorry short, the booking manager came across very defensive. Both her and Monet were not willing to work anything out with me. In fact I was told by the booking manager that I should have known to bring more money just in case I was quoted a higher price. She also didn't acknowledge the fact that she misformed me about the new client fee and the pricing. I would definitely say that although Monet's work is great (and yes my hair looked fabulous), her customer service and business practices are terrible!!!! That totally ruined my entire experience. I think that she feels entitled because she has a lot of followers and so one bad review from a customer won't hurt her lol. I will definitely never go back to Ms. Monet Crochet again and I would not recommend others to go to her as well. Trust me, the techniques she used for her popular "seamless sew-ins" can be done by other stylist in Charlotte for a much cheaper affordable price. Please hear me on this....Monet is over pricing a lot of people and that is just greedy.
