Their online booking system was very straightforward and easy to book, and I was able to book a "Hollywood Waves" session with Nicole. It was nice that they offered the $45 price without hair wash. It's a small shop located inside the Colonnade Mall on South Lake Ave. You can park in the parking lot in the back and it's located on the bottom floor of the Mall. Nicole was very sweet and I showed her a few pictures of inspiration. I liked that she listened to what I wanted, I had mentioned that my hair tends to frizz when I have curls so I'm glad she was able to tame my hair so it didn't at the end. Nicole is very talented and she made the experience so relaxing, and it seemed so easy to make my hair so beautiful.

If you walk-in, you may be disappointed as they are pretty popular and book up. I got Cosmo tai. There is a style book with a 8 styles, so you don't need to search google. The stylists are really good here. The interior has natural light, but the back wash area is much larger than you think. A wash and style costs around $60. Just styling with no wash is around $44. Don't come 10 minutes late, or you will miss your wash. You will be offered coffee or champagne as a perk. Really love this place! The street parking is paid on the machine, but the cost is relatively low.

So, I have been on the great 'curly cut' stylist search. I wanted to like them, like my cut, for the cut to not cost an arm and a leg, and for the location to be closer to my house. I do not have Reddit, but I look up a ton of stuff there and read the comments from others and Jenny S. at Ecco Hair Studio was mentioned. So, I quickly looked up the studio. It was extremely quick and easy to book an appointment, straight from their website. Jenny gave me an excellent cut, and she was warm and welcoming. Such an easy person to converse with. I loved my experience here and I found the staff that I encountered to be very nice. I am happy to report that the studio and Jenny met all of my criteria. I highly recommend! I wish I found Ecco and Jenny sooner!

Pam does the cuts and my daughter will not go to anyone else other than her. I've asked her why and she said she feels special going in and more importantly Pam talks to her about what she wants and looks at the pictures she brings in, but not in a baby way. Yes, a kids cut here is more than at a kids hair cut place, but I only have one kid and I like that this gives her an opportunity to grow. We blackbyrd.

I love coming here for facials and to touch up my brows. I utilize the services of Julie, who is very attentive to detail and your personal skin care needs - this is your go to person. For my facials, I let her take the lead and go with what she feels my skin needs. I have never had any issues from the products used and I have always been satisfied with the outcome. I'm not going to lie, the extractions hurt but they're necessary so just grit your teeth and the process will be over before you know it. This spa is located in a plaza with a very ample parking lot. It is monitored so make sure you pay for your parking (I believe the first 30 or 90 mins are free...forgot the deets on that) or you will come back to a ticket. If you're in a need of a snack before your appointment, there are several coffee shops you will pass before reaching the spa. Appointments are required as is a deposit for services.

I text Liz to ask if they can add my sister at 10:00 for hair and makeup and she confirmed yes. I have all the proof on my text. Then a few days before I asked if they could do my hair at 9:30 no makeup and they were nice enough to accommodate me (or so I thought) fast forward to day of our big event. Yes I was running late and they moved it down that was my fault. But when my sister got there at 10:00 they started asking for one of my nieces saying one of them was suppose to be at 10:15. My sister called me on speaker and Liz was very rude and unprofessional. She totally made my sister feel so uncomfortable on a very important day for her and her daughters. It made me so upset that the start of their big day was ruined by how rude they were being treated and how Liz was yelling at me on the phone. I sent screenshots to my sister so she can show them proof of all our conversations. Liz dismissed it still blaming me. I told my sister here is the text she sent me with prices because I have a feeling she's going to try to charge you more. Sure enough my sister said she tried to charge her more. Upon seeing my nieces to get them in their quinceñera dress I could not believe the makeup that was done on them. I could have done a better job. They slapped sloppy glitter on top of their eyelids and put on cheap eyelashes. Their makeup looked lfar from special and the girls were so disappointed they almost cried. This "beauty bar" is not for a special occasion! Avoid at all cost. You will be disappointed. The makeup artist is nicer than Liz that's for sure but does not do quality work. Pay more for makeup because a cheap price comes with cheap makeup and hair . Update! The business intended to clarify but they are wrong. The attitude of Liz ruined what was suppose to be a special moment for my sister and nieces! There was no need to be rude and yell at me on the phone!
