I get a little antsy (as anyone would) about finding a new hair salon that promises good results. Janeen was quick to make me feel welcome and comfortable upon entering, and by the end of the experience, I felt very fortunate to have found exactly what I was looking for. I came in with a photo of a past haircut that did me well in the past (very similar to my current profile photo). After a good scan, Janeen went right to work and took care of my hair in a quick and seemingly effortless manner. I was in and out within 20 minutes feeling nothing short of satisfied. Men: if you come in knowing what you want with a photo of your desired look, expect the same great experience I just had. Thanks Janeen!

Katie at New Concepts saved my LIFE. ...Okay, not my LIFE, but definitely my manicure, the day…read morebefore we were flying out to Las Vegas for our destination wedding. After getting a complete hatchet job of a gel manicure at Studio Z (see other review: seriously, it was a gel manicure that started cracking less than 24 hours after application because the woman who did it had NO IDEA what she was doing), I was calling around town in a panic trying to find someone who could redo my nails that afternoon. I didn't want to try to fit in a ~$150 removal/new manicure at Treasure Island the morning of my wedding, because our schedule was already ridiculous. New Concepts happened to have an opening. As soon as I got there, everyone wanted to see the original job, and confirmed it had been applied wrong--which made it take about twice as long to remove as it should have, but Katie got it off and then did it RIGHT. She explained the whole process to me as she went, which helped me retain confidence that she actually knew what she was doing, and was also interesting for future reference. When she finished up, it looked perfect, and it has now held up beautifully for a week. I even scraped my nails across several rock formations while doing post-wedding shots at the Valley of Fire, and it didn't leave a scratch. Finally, they didn't charge me anything for removing the original job--just $35 for the gel polish (gel with a manicure is $50 at New Concepts, and most places charge separately to remove gels). That was less than I'd paid for the original bad job! I normally like to change my polish color a lot, which you can't do with gel, but Katie was so nice and I'm so impressed with how well gel holds up, I'm seriously considering sticking with it from now on. If I do, I will definitely be going back to Katie!

Don't waste your time or money…read more I visted NCS after reading the glowing review from Cabell G. on Yelp. I got my nails done and my girl was nice. The manicure was a little more expensive than I expected it to be but that was okay at the time. However, less than 12 hours later, my polish started to chip. I called and the receptionist was ditzy and confused as to exactly what I needed done. It was frustrating talking to her, and then when I finally got in to get my nails fixed, the stylist who was formerly friendly was cold and didn't talk to me. She did a good job fixing the chipped manicure, but I was pissed that I had to waste my own time to come back and get something fixed that should have been done right the first time. One of my nails broke four days after the original manicure and even more nails were chipping and awful looking a week later for a manicure that should have lasted at least two weeks. I will never go here again, I feel that it was a waste of money for such poor service and poor product.

Decided to get a facial at Derma 180 the day before starting a new job as a way to celebrate and…read moreease my nerves. I've had maybe 5-10 facials in the past and loved them so I was really excited for this experience. I arrived at my appointment and the owner, Marie, was very nice. But things went downhill from there. First of all, with all the facials I've had in the past, I've always been asked to remove my shirt and lower my bra straps if I was comfortable so that the aesthetician could work on my neck and decolletage as well as my face. Not at Derma 180. Marie asked me to lay on the bed fully clothed which I found odd. We proceeded to have a conversation about how I have sensitive skin and a compromised skin barrier which caused my cheeks and chin to be pink. I also mentioned that I had just exfoliated my skin a few days prior so with these two factors, I asked her to go light on the exfoliation. She proceeded to put an enzyme (read: exfoliant) on my face which burned at a level of 3/5 but which I could tolerate. She then proceeded with another chemical exfoliant on my face which burned so badly (5/5) that my eyes were watering and I couldn't handle it. She then wiped it off with a cotton pad and it felt like sandpaper on my face and hurt really bad. Instead of using a wet towel to wipe off any remaining residue, she proceeded to put a mask on my face which she said would soothe the pain. Problem is, there were still traces of the chemical exfoliant on my face since she didn't clean it off properly and it still slightly burned, even with the next mask on. Also strange, between the mask applications, she just sat behind me in a chair in silence. During other facials I've had, this is the time when the aesthetician would take the time to massage my scalp, neck, arms and legs. Not here. There was no steam, the smell of the products was not great and Marie had a bright light turned on which was shining in my face 70% of the time. Usually an aesthetician will only shine a bright light in your face during extractions and then turn it off so you can relax. My face was really red after the facial but this is somewhat normal for me as I have sensitive skin and it normally calms down after a few hours. I am now 7 hours post facial and the redness has worsened on my cheeks and chin and they have swollen and are warm to the touch as if I got a bad sunburn. This has never happened to me before and as I've previously stated, this is not my first facial. Needless to say, I will not be returning to Derma 180. Marie is nice, the music she played was relaxing and she didn't pressure me to buy her products, which I appreciated. Other than those 3 things, I would consider this experience to be a major fail. I now get to start my new job tomorrow looking like a red, puffy faced Santa Claus. Whoo. My advice to Marie would be to visit top spas, experience their facials, take notes and replicate those practices in your own business.

Seeing Katrina, the hair stylist, is a piece of self-care that I won't sacrifice! There are a multitude of reasons I will follow Katrina wherever she goes. My hair always comes out gorgeous, making me feel really great and getting compliments. Katrina listens to what I want and gives suggestions based on my hair type. I can bring in photos and leave really satisfied, but sometimes I also go in with no idea what I want to do that day and she totally helps me figure it out. I've been seeing Katrina for 2 years (!) and I've done haircuts, undercuts, traditional hair color/balayage, and fantasy hair color (pinks, purples, teal). I'm currently playing around with the idea of extensions... Who knows. It's fun to feel comfortable enough with the person styling your hair to be able to try new things. The Salon Z location is great. It's right on Monona Drive, and has a parking lot for convenience. Once you're settled in, you can enjoy complimentary tea or coffee and snacks if you're in for the long haul with some hair color. :) Katrina's great whether you love to chat it up or need a more relaxed quiet vibe on any particular day. I have referred many of my friends to her and I don't know anyone who's not been completely happy!
