    Lee maintains my curly hair and makes it easy for my busy lifestyle.

    I have been seeing Lee for a few years now.She is the only hair stylist I have trusted on my hair since I have lived in the DMV. They always manage to get me an appointment within a reasonable wait time.

    I had Gretchen for my highlight and style and she nailed the color I wanted. She listened to me when I was indecisive and helped me come to the best decision. (It's fall so I almost went with a completely different vibe) I'm so happy with how it turned out

    I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was overall very pleased with how welcoming and fun the vibes are here. Kara exceeded my expectations by miles! I was initially nervous because I don't often get my hair done, but the work she did on my hair was more than I could've wanted. I will definitely be making this place my new go-to salon.

    I love my permanently purple hair!! Nyia did an amazing job!

    I had a free consultation before I went. The staff was super nice. The salon has a wonderful and welcoming vibe. Nyia truly listened and I couldn't wait to do it! I went permanently purple and she nailed it! My look is exactly what I wanted and even better! I think it is going to be easy to maintain and I feel like I'm in great hands to get to keep looking and feeling amazing!

    Gretchen is a magician. I've been paying through the nose with mediocre results for YEARS, but Gretchen listened to my concerns/requests, steered me in the right direction, and delivered what no one has before. The true test was when I did my hair myself, and still loved it. She's worth every penny.

    Absolutely do not go here! It was once a quirky little place where you could get a decent…read moreinexpensive cut between cuts. But it's now under new management and the new owner is a butcher, a liar, and the place is filthy. She absolutely destroyed my hair. I walked in for a simple cut and she sat me in the chair and started chopping it off while it was dry. I asked her three times to stop and she wouldn't, telling me that she was just doing what I asked. There were actually holes in the back of my head and the sides were completely uneven and she "thinned it" which made it stick to my head. My daughter went back with me and tried to get my money back, but she said she didn't know how to operate the machine and I'd have to deal with my credit card company. There was no place for her to wash my hair because the sinks were filled with materials like old perm boxes, and I saw a mouse. Seriously, do not go you will regret it

    Pretty good experience - a little on the fence…read more I was presented a gift card to the Sugar House Day Spa and Salon. It had been some time since I received a massage, so I was looking forward to this visit! There is a parking garage conveniently located next to the spa, so that was great. The staff at the entrance promptly greeted me and asked if it was my first time. The process of checking in and getting around was simplified by them taking the time to walk me where I needed to go rather than just telling me, which was appreciated. I was walked to the area where I changed into a robe and was subsequently accompanied to the massage area. Unfortunately for me, there were a lot of stairs, something that my knee and foot surgeries did not appreciate. It was a little awkward to sit in a small, public waiting area wearing a robe but it's a minor sacrifice. I had a massage with Audrey, who was very nice and professional. I appreciated that she took the time to ask me about my concern areas and my goals for the massage. The massage itself was good, though I unfairly compare massages to my former therapist who was exceptional. Audrey was very communicative and, even for someone who finds it difficult to relax, it was a good experience. Overall, The Sugar House Day Spa is worth a visit - it's also worth purchasing a gift card for someone. They will appreciate it! (NOTE: you can use the funds from the gift card to supplement a tip)

Interestingly enough, when I asked to speak to the owner who offered me $50 on my card, I was told she wasn't available (Wait, you JUST spoke to her.) and I wasn't allowed to know her full name for correspondence because that was "inappropriate." I am trying to give them the opportunity to do the right thing, but it's not looking promising.

She does haircare, skincare, massages, and other health and beauty services. What is nice about Susanne is that she gives you personalized attention. You are not marched through an assembly line. She takes time and gets to know your individual needs. She also has a good eye for detail. She has a lot of experience with hair color and she works with both women and men. She does not over-schedule clients so when you go to her, you are her focus. She also has really cute dogs that she sometimes brings to the salon. Her work space is always light, airy and clean. I have gotten my hair done there, facials, massage, waxing and more over the years. Always very good! She has a lot of happy clients who are very loyal to her.

The salon itself is fantastic with an environmentally conscious decor, and wonderful peaceful music with no voice interruption. Everything has clearly been thought out for your comfort, and your well-being. Bravo Susanne!

For my recent appointment (a root touch-up and hair cut) I arrived 18 minutes late due to a personal emergency and called ahead to inform the salon. When I arrived, instead of being met with understanding or even basic courtesy, I was treated with noticeable disrespect and arrogance by Patrick. he refused to even do part of the service I had booked. Ultimately, I was sent back upon arrival and did not receive the service I had scheduled. While I absolutely understand that punctuality is important and that salons run on tight schedules, the way the situation was handled felt unnecessarily hostile and unprofessional. There's a difference between enforcing policy and treating a client dismissively. At this price point, I expect professionalism, communication, and basic respect. Sadly, this visit left me feeling unwelcome and undervalued as a returning client. I hope management takes feedback like this seriously, because client experience matters just as much as the technical service.

When I asked about it, the stylist said quickly: "you agreed to it in the chair." I paid, but I honestly don't remember the interaction (and it was a short visit!). Paying 50% more than I was expecting, with no memory of agreeing, makes me feel like I have to be on guard next time I go. It was not a good way to end an otherwise lovely visit. I won't return.
