Justine is the best and really makes you feel comfortable when it's your first spray tan. She made…read morethe whole process smooth and easy. I've received a lot of compliments since no one could tell it was a spray tan. There were no streaks or more color in one section over another. She checks on you the next day to make sure you are happy with the color. I also did the bikini wax and for the first time ever, it didn't hurt at all. No irritation and no issues. I used to do Wax in the City and they would just hurry through to get the next client in, but not Justine. She spends time making sure it's correct and happy. First time at this spa and already have my next appointment booked! Her prices are wonderful too!

Beware: Owner Doesn't Keep Appts & The 1st Yelp Review Is By The Owner!…read more I booked with the owner after purchasing a Groupon, as I wanted to ensure the anti-aging facial was done properly. The owner Porsha moved my appointment under someone with less experience with even asking me. The new person was warm and had a professional manner yet based on my reaction to the facial, she lacked in skills. Hence why I booked the owner, to ensure it would be done correctly. I reached out to the owner with my symptoms of redness, itchy dry skin, and swelling and asked her to cancel my follow-up appointment, I'm to work from home this week and seek additional dr visit for care of symptoms. Porsha responded blaming it on my skin or pollen. She stated that she blocked me from further booking appointments because I questioned if her staff was licensed? Yet the only plaques in the room for licensing were hers. The main reason why I gave her 1 star is that she was blaming, defensive and rude. She offered zero empathy or tips on dealing with complications post treatment. Beware and always pick a licensed establishment when doing facials. Your face deserves the best care!

it's pretty hit or miss. some days they do the acrylic nails way too thick, some days I come out…read morefeeling like I'm never going to another salon ever again because some of the workers do great! I come here most of the time because it overall is a good environment...with my experience I think maybe it just an off day. the first time I got my toes done a few months ago, a lady made me bleed cause she said the piece of the nail had to come out. I dont think she "doctored" that correctly because it came back and grew back under my skin and made me uncomfortable. I also didn't end up liking my French tip I got on my toes. blood got into the white and she didn't notice. I think she just wanted to be done with me. It took 4 months for my toe to stop being uncomfortable and it was something I had to fix myself. I will go back to try again because I like the environment ! just with a different worker (: 8/10 times you will leave there satisfied

I received a gift card for sephora so I made a trip to check it out (I usually shop at one of their…read morecompetitors). It was a day when kids had off from school so there were a lot of moms and daughters shopping. It kind of surprised me because the few categories of items I was looking for seemed to be higher end. But I have heard that sephora had an appeal to the younger crowd, I guess I didn't realize how young. The bright lights and layout had me a bit overwhelmed so I left. Not sure what I will use my gift card on, but will opt for shopping on the website or likely regift it. The store just did make me excited about buying anything.

Then she went to work providing an amazing facial with a hand and foot massage. Karlee is very friendly and the service was wonderful. Can't wait to come back again. Just a quick not on the Dolce Vita Salon. This appears to be a salon with independent owners renting out an area of the salon. So make sure you get the right person when you go. You won't be disappointed with Karlee's service.

I called first to hear pricing of highlights receptionist replied $49 for partial and $69 for full…read more My roommate and I booked same day appointments back to back. My roommate was first and Pam used same bleach for both of us. I however was just wanting a few highlights around crown are to blend roots better. 5 total foils is all she place in before putting me under dryer for 30 minutes not one time checking on processing . Finally the receptionist rinses both my roommate and I and the receptionist applied both our toners. Rinses the toner and back to chair. I was in a hurry and told pam just blow dry a little I was in a hurry. Color seemed to look and blend to my liking . I go to pay and am charged $115 for 5 foils and a $23 bottle of thermal spritz. $115!!!!!!! For 5 foils! Wow what happened to $49 partial? Well you had product too I said yes but $23. Forget it I paid and left . The next day I shampooed my hair and got to looking and couldn't believe the breakage from over processing. Tiger stripes along crown of my head. What a disaster this service turned out to be. My roommates was worse. So we call Pam and tell her about damage and she doesn't assume any fault she told us you both were happy when you left. My roommate told her why would you recommend a hair breakage product to me instead of a color shampoo and conditioner. Because she knew she over processed both of us and still hasn't done anything to make it right. Pam keeps turning the blame back over to us not offering trims or deep conditioning. Nothing! We feel she needs to be accountable so we will see who the courts feel is responsible for our hair breakage .

My first visit to this location today with my girlfriend. We had booked an appointment a couple of…read moredays ago by phone to get pedicures. We were greeted immediately and sat in the large leather seats (with personal back massager) after picking out a color from the large assortment of options. They were busy due to homecoming this weekend, but everyone was very polite. The owner introduced herself and there was a variety of different people and ages there being assisted. I was left to soak for about 10 minutes while my attendant finished the nails of another customer, but I was not in a hurry so I was fine waiting. One reason I do not frequent nail salons, is because of some bad experiences I have had in the past with the place not being clean or having the attendants speak their own language very loudly the entire time (and it seemed like they were talking about their customers too). Well, each of the attendants spoke English at Tips & Toes and occasionally spoke Vietnamese between themselves. I never had the feeling they were talking poorly about anyone and I had a fun time visiting with my friend and my attendant Anna in a clean environment. I even decided to get a manicure at the last minute and I am looking forward to returning for my touch ups. Even my honey said my nails look great. If you are looking for a nice local place to do your nails, give TIPS & TOES SALON a try.

It was good but I had a amazing experience with Krystal in Ankeny. She was attentive, informative and made sure to enter my points into Allé. Krystal took her time doing my facial and I actually felt like I got a facial with her because my skin immediately started flaking after which is what it's supposed to do. Will definitely go back to see her often. She gave me a mini tour on all the skin care afterwards and explained in detail the Allé points and how you can receive products with your points for SkinMédica only. I will recommend this location to all my friends and family.

I booked laser hair removal treatment at the Ankeny, IA location- my experience overall was good…read more One thing that is concerning is the staff turnover that I experienced- I had the same LE do my laser treatment for months and then she was gone- w/o any communication. It would have been nice to be notified that my regular LE was not longer with the company and ex person would be doing them- since then I had Ali & Kristina and Taylor finish out my treatment appointments. Each LE does the treatment different, so I had no idea what to expect for the last 6 months of my treatments. I had to keep asking them to do it the way I preferred. This was the only reason for 4 stars in this review. I have had a hydrafacial with Taylor since, and she is wonderful, easy going and explains the treatment the entire time. I would go back to her anytime for her knowledge and disposition.
