I would give zero stars if I could. I have been struggling with intense back pain, and after a back…read morescan revealed it was a muscle issue, the kind woman who did my scan highly recommended the masseuse Emily at Spa Belle La Vie. She claimed Emily's deep tissue massages had helped her immensely. I called to book an appointment, but the earliest available slot was over a week away at 11 AM. The Friday before my appointment, the spa called to reschedule because Emily was no longer available. Her next availability was a few days later at 12:45 PM on a Thursday. I agreed to the new appointment. I arrived early on the day of my rescheduled appointment, only to be met with disdainful looks from the six women lounging around the front desk, chatting amongst themselves. After an awkward wait, someone finally addressed me, saying someone would assist me shortly. Only one person seemed to be working at the desk. When I was eventually shown to the waiting room, I received no instructions about what would happen next or where to put my new client forms. When the masseuse came to get me, it was not Emily. I asked about Emily's whereabouts, only to be told she wasn't at work that day. Furious, I returned to the front desk, where the six women looked at me like I was crazy and said, "Oh, we will reschedule you." This was the second time I had been rescheduled, and I wasn't about to let them waste any more of my time. I walked out. This situation boils down to one of three issues: the front desk staff is incompetent, Emily is selectively choosing her clients and didn't want to work with me, or they don't want to service a Black woman. The waiting room was empty, so they clearly weren't busy. No wonder this spa has such poor reviews. I try to give businesses the benefit of the doubt, but this experience was beyond frustrating. Why would I trust them to reschedule me again only to be disappointed? I'm still dealing with back pain and am no closer to finding relief. If anyone knows of good spas in Tuscaloosa, please let me know.

When I asked, she said we put 75 because that includes check in, check out, bathroom breaks... very misleading.

***UPDATE*** Some of the cosmetics in her line don't seem to…read moreagree with my sensitive skin, so I had to return them. However, she does do makeup consultations using cosmetics that the client already owns. She helped me to create a fabulous new look using my own makeup, and offered me some excellent product recommendations from cosmetic lines that I already know and love. The end result speaks for itself...I looked amazing!! You will too. Give this beauty bar a try. ***END OF UPDATE*** I love this place! Tawanna is just a breath of fabulous fresh air. So positive and so committed to making sure that everyone leaves her shop looking and feeling their best. My best friend told me that she had gotten a message that the shop was having a sale on lipstick, so she and I went by to see if we could find anything we like. Tawanna took the time with each of us to create a few looks that we absolutely loved! I told her I wanted to do something different than my usual berry colored lipsticks and glosses. She pulled me way out of my comfort zone with colors like Amaretto, Frosted Amber, and Hawaiian Fire. I really didn't want to try on the Hawaiian fire, which is like a bright red-orange, and is a matte color (which I think makes the wearer's lips look dry), but she insisted that I would love it. She framed the color with a cherry lip liner and let me tell you...these lips look GOOD baby!! She also helped my best friend create a gorgeous berry-toned look that compliments her chocolate skin perfectly, and is something that is practical enough to wear everyday. I walked out of that shop feeling like a million bucks. I left with a bag full of goodies and, more importantly, the confidence in knowing how to use them properly. Tawanna offered some really great recommendations for lip liner and lipstick combinations that were definitely different than anything I would have picked on my own. She also offered some really helpful application tips to help us refine and perfect our looks. Recently I've wanted to get a makeover but I had not found anywhere near me that offers those services. Stores like MAC and bluemercury have these "experts", wearing a face full of messy, caked-on make up, who are more interested in trying to get you to buy something (anything, whether it looks good on you or not) as opposed to helping you design and define your own style. I appreciate that Tawanna was not pushy or impatient. She was generous with her time and expertise, and as a result, I'll be back on Saturday for that makeover. Whether you need a look for your wedding day, a special day, or for everyday...this is the place to go. Tawanna is the consummate professional and I'm confident that she can help you find a look you will love!

Here is how awesome the experience was at this salon and with Natalie: I went home after my…read moreappointment and didn't fix my hair!!! I gave this salon a try after an awful experience at another salon where the stylist did not listen to my wants, wishes and needs and didn't sanitize dropped tools. Natalie on the other hand was everything I could ask for in a stylist. She took quite some time to figure out what was previously done to my hair and what color would work well now. Natalie took into consideration that there are redheads in my family and that I want a somewhat low maintenance style. She took care of my "wisdom" hair, low and high lights. The color looks stunning and so natural. I showed her a picture of a haircut I liked and while some parts still need to grow it looks fabulous. If you want a color, haircut and style that you'll love done by a stylist that listens to you go this salon and ask for Natalie. I will be back!

She said she had to color it twice, once to a medium brown, and then another to go dark brown, doubling the cost ($120). The price was outrageous for a simple all over color.

There are better salons where you won't feel so nickel-and-dimed.
