Today (12/04/2021) was my first excursion to Genesis Salon and Spa in Marion, IL. I drove about 30…read moreminutes from where I live to get to this location based on the positive reviews I read on the Vagaro app. I am always happy when the experiences of other customers encourage me to investigate a business for myself. This time it really paid off. From the moment I opened the door, it was evident that Genesis was much more than an average salon. The lobby is beautifully decorated and comfortable. I was greeted immediately by the person who was to perform my service (Obi is awesomeness personified), and led to another immaculately furnished and decorated area. I love that everywhere I went, I could see that the customer was kept in mind. There are comfortable places to lounge and it is obviously kept CLEAN! From the outside, you would think this salon and spa is your ordinary store front, however you would be mistaken. Genesis is huge on the inside. Before coming for my appointment, I researched my esthetician Obi through her customer reviews. I'm happy to report that She was exactly what all of her customers have said she is: PHENOMENAL! I appreciated her professionalism and warm personality. Even though this was my first direct experience with her waxing services, I felt completely comfortable with her. Most importantly, she made sure that I was 100% satisfied with my service before I left, and to me, that is a woman who knows the meaning of customer service. Obi was so awesome that my spa and pedicure appointments are booked with her for the next few months. Yep, Obi is the newest member of the Diva Squad! I'm so thankful to have found Obi and Genesis. Genesis Salon and Spa offers several services for men and women geared to pamper and care for the body, mind, and spirit. The best part for me is that this is a small, local, woman-owned business. Let's hear it for these Entrepreneur Divas! I highly recommend Genesis Salon and Spa in Marion, IL. When you go by, tell them that Kindra Speech sent ya.

I came here for a spray tan while in the area. I have a usual salon I usually go to in the Seattle…read morearea but wanted to spray tan before New Year's Eve party and wouldn't have time for it to develop if I waited until I got home. At first the price was a little shocking to me. I buy bulk packages at home and get each tan for around $10-12 vs $26 for one tan here. I realize, however, I was just purchasing one tan and the price is comparable to what I would pay for a single tan elsewhere. When actually visiting the salon I only had to sign a piece of paper which was convenient (to UV tan you have to fill out more). The girl at the desk was friendly and helpful. In chatting with her, she mentioned she did a level 3 bronze tan a few days before. It looked great still but I usually do a 1 clear (for just a little tan) and the girl at the desk said it should be equivalent if i'm used to tanning in a VersaSpa, so that's what I chose. She lead me to the room and showed me how to use the booth (it's still a VersaSpa but different than the one I'm used to). The room has sticky shoes which is nice so the bottoms of your feet don't get orange and so you don't have to enter the booth barefoot. The booth looked older but better honestly quality than the newer ones, you know how that goes sometimes.. it was open on both sides of the booth which I think gave a more even tan. It also had a built in space heater and a moisture spray at the end to help extend your tan! The whole experience in the salon, from start to finish, was great. The only downfall was that a 1 clear in this booth was much lighter than the 1 clear at my normal salon. It didn't really look like I got a spray tan which kind of sucked. In fact, I almost went to my local salon when I got home to spray again... I would definitely recommend this salon but keep in mind a spray might be lighter than you're used to.

The yoga was a lot different than what we are used to but I dug it. Focus is mainly on Hatha yoga. Although they are in the same building the spa massages seem to belong to a different entity than the yoga. So if you book both make sure you leave enough time in between so you are not rushed the way we were.

She also stopped at least 3 times to answer a text that she received. No extra time was given. With all that she actually stopped at least 5 min short of my full time. Then to top it off, at the end, I was given a bottle of water and promptly asked for a tip. Then I was given some attitude when I gave her the tip. Obviously 20% wasn't what she expected after using my time to answer the phone, several texts and then quit at least 5 min early. One last thing. Take ear plugs.
