    Hair.
    Leslie N.

    Update: It's now been a month since i've gotten my hair done and i've noticed how damaged my hair has been feeling. I've dyed my hair A LOT and my hairs never felt this frizzy or dry after getting it colored. It makes me so upset especially for the price I paid. I also straightened my hair after a while and noticed how uneven and awful my haircut looks. :( I miss my hair!! At this point I regret even giving this place a chance. Always do your research before just booking anywhere. I had to learn the hard way.

    I do not recommend this salon. I was the customer with the same appointment as Ryanne C. and I wish it had been my appointment that didn't exist. Sorry for the long review but I wish I had been more careful reading reviews before I chose this salon. That said...I will note that the Rachel L. review here on Yelp was written by my "stylist", an employee of the salon. I met with Rachel a week earlier for a consultation. I explained that I wanted to lighten my hair so the grey that was starting to come in would blend better. I also showed her a photo of the haircut I wanted. The day of the appointment Rachel seemed distracted and confused. She was already running behind but decided to cut some of my long hair off in order to use less dye. The problem was that she took a long time doing that and then coloring and finishing the cut became a rush later on. I'm not really sure what she put on my hair but after 40 minutes she was rinsing it and said it didn't work and put more chemical on my hair and left my head hanging in the sink bowl for 10 more minutes. When we returned to the chair she made a quiet comment that it was darker than I wanted but "don't hate her". She then rushed through a hair cut that looked nothing like the photo. I left with what looked like a dirty greyish-purple straw nest on my head. She had already moved on to her next client and I was embarrassed and not sure what to do. ( I am an introvert and I normally avoid confrontations) I got home and washed my hair several times and found a 6" piece of hair hanging below the cut. I went back at 9AM the next day (advertised as opening time). The salon did not actually unlock the doors until 9:40am. I went in and asked for Rachel and was told by the receptionist that she was not there. I asked for a Manager and was told the same. I asked for a return call to discuss what had happened and how it could be fixed. 3 hours later...no call. I called and the receptionist told me she had not had time to tell Rachel or the Manager that I needed to speak with them. I asked when she would have time and she said she would try. About an hour later the receptionist called back and said Rachel told her to tell me "I got what I wanted and there are no refunds". Again, I asked for a Manager and was told she was not available. At this point I understandably lost my sh** and threatened a bad online review and a report to the BBB. I got a call back...again from the receptionist about 15 minutes later...who told me she could put me on the schedule in 2 weeks to see Rachel to fix it at no charge. The next day, an owner called me. He immediately bullied me and said it was all my fault because I didn't want to bleach my hair. He also said it was my fault for not saying something before I left. He was mad that I was rude to the receptionist and I pointed out that if Rachel or the Manager had called me to discuss then there would have been no reason to get rude. (I did apologize to the receptionist the last time I spoke to her). I told him it was bad form to let the receptionist deal with this. He told me that it was her job. The discussion continued via text message because he insisted he had photos of me after the color and cut. I also texted him the selfie I took in the car when I left. He refused to even acknowledge my disappointment or the bad haircut and insisted that I got what I wanted and that he would always stand by his stylists. That says it all right there. You are nothing but a wallet to this business. It is only about money and how many people they can schedule in a day. A simple solution would have been to call me back the first time and talk through it. We might have been able to figure it out without all the drama. This was an expensive lesson for me and I can only hope that this review will save others from making the same mistake I did. (Btw...I did not go back to get the color fixed and I cut the 6" piece of hair off myself.)

    Express wax (15 mins) -I was welcomed as soon as I stepped…read morein. the lobby was quiet, not crowded and very cool (it was about 100 C outside). -I was walked back within 2 minutes from arriving. - wax's description said 15 minutes and it definitely was 15 minutes. -the service was wax only, no option to take care of ingrown hairs or those stubborn thin hairs. The esthetician tried a time or two on those thin hairs and then they were left alone. -the whole location was very clean. -parking lot available.

    A thorough wax done in under 15 minutes? Yes- you read that right. I didn't believe it until I…read moreFINALLY went for myself today. They are super quick, and from what I've heard, all their waxes are done similarly, so you can't go wrong with having anyone wax you here. I've personally only been to Aaliyah, but it was the fastest Brazilian I've ever had, and done in 12 minutes. Unlike my previous waxing establishment, you immediately strip down to whatever you need to expose right away in the room (Aaliyah turned around for this part to prepare for my wax), and then lay right on the table. I got my Brazilian done and then I got dressed and went out to pay. She cleaned off the table for her next client as I was getting dressed. She immediately took the next client. It was a quick & smooth process- I was amazed at how it was done so quickly & efficiently. They have so many specials (for example- I got the June Brazilian special for $45!!! That's $20 less than my previous spot). I will definitely return. It's a nicely decorated spot, but no extra frills- get what needs to get done and you're out within a good time frame.

    WhAt a hidden gem! Fantastic establishment! This was the best massage I have gotten since I was out…read moreof the US. I've been looking for an masseuse that really knew what they were doing! Yvette is the best! I am going to come back and check out the spa part of it!

    Not sure why I waited so long to write this review as the praise is well over due…read more I'm a bit of a massage junkie, so while in Norfolk I hopped on Yelp and found Instinctive Massage or rather I found Heaven! I made an appointment over the phone while driving, and found the place fairly easily. There isn't much parking, but there are at least 5/6 spots available for the massage shop and it's neighbor, a speciality bakery. This place is a one woman show - a woman named Yvette. I ended up having 2 massages because the first one was so amazing. My first massage was a traditional Swedish massage. AMAZING! I've had about 100+ massages in my life and this was hands down the best. That is until my second massage from Yvette. My second appointment consisted of a quick leg wax and a hot stone massage. I had never had a hot stone massage before and I loved it. The best part was how attentive Yvette was telling me about her massage process and making sure I was happy throughout the process. Often massage therapists just do their thing. After my massage Yvette gave me some advice on stretching and techniques I could use at home to help with the tightness in my back. Super professional. Super friendly. Super Therapist!!! I LOVE THIS PLACE. You will too!
