Sydney and the gal who greeted me at the front desk were sweet and professional, luring me back for a follow-up even though I'd sworn to myself that I was only in for one appointment. The experience was so good ~ soothing voice & music, gentle hands, relaxing environment ~ I look forward to treating myself in the future for special occasions. The only downside was my post-treatment payment: The gal who rang me up both times (the salon manager?) was severely unfriendly, knocking me right out of my zen moment. If not for her, 5 stars.

I'm so, so low maintenance about my hair it's honestly sort of embarrassing. So much so that I…read moredidn't think anyone could screw my hair up, but alas. I went to a girl named Hayley (Haleigh? Hayleigh? I'm not sure how it's spelled) at the north Ames location. I just wanted my hair trimmed and a lightened -- balayage, highlights, whatever -- I didn't really care. I always trust my stylist to do what makes the most sense. That's it. Trim the dead ends and make my hair blonder. She seemed confident so I totally trusted her. First, she left me sitting with bleach in my hair for 40 minutes while she LEFT to go eat her dinner. She came back, took my to the sink to shampoo/rinse and put a toner in my hair. She left me there for another 55 minutes (super uncomfortable sitting with your head in a sink for 55 minutes lol) while she left to GO TO THE CAFE ACROSS THE STREET. What? She went to go buy cheesecake with her coworkers. She came back, ate her cheesecake, then came back to me. She washed my hair, blow dried it, and it was awful. My hair was grey and purple. Then she trimmed it, and screwed up the trimming around my face so much I ended up looking like I had a mullet. A grey and purple mullet. Yes. Anywho, I was polite about it but said I was unhappy and surprised by the result. She offered to try and fix it the next day and I declined and just asked to not be charged. They declined my request, and charged me almost twice the amount it said I'd be charged on their website ($113 on their website, and they charged $197). I went to Leedz Salon the next day and they fixed it. They're wizards. Please just go to Leedz instead and stay far away from this place.

Was in the area and came to her with interest in a hydrafacial after experiencing an influx in blah skin recently. She recommended the express or deluxe but was never pushy.

After having a previous hydrafacial with an indifferent experience, I was thrilled with the process and now the results. My skin felt light and bright immediately after. Abbey has a real knack for everything in this industry and I'd trust her with any and all.

This medspa overcharged me and deposits made along with full payments made at the times needed but…read morenothing have been refunded it and the worse a new business and I can assure you assure you are not working towards the happiness of your costumers like myself. You took every deposit and then payment in full from myself someone that not only works hard to have those procedures and yet you just took my money and did not care about myself. I almost did not book with y'all but what an accident I have been through that kept me hoping in the hands of y'all I would get the treatments I needed. What you did is a crime to take others savings three times for a thread full face lifts and promise I would get other things ( radiesse-full face) in my face to compensate myself ending up paying three times for a full thread lift. You promised I would get fillers and Morpheous to compensate for what your irresponsible medispa did to my face especially right after a very serious accident that almost killed me and I had faith in your team but I am no longer interested in seeing any of y'all. As a matter fact I am making this a more serious complaint so nobody else needs tp go thru what I did. You basically robbed me by saying I would get more of a full face and collagen with filler and Morpheous treatment. Just because I'm not a high roller in your books you shouldn't treat me like this because you know your service made my face so much worse that it's sad to see woman like you ripping people off. To top all of it I have always tip Kim for example that gave me faith I would get a filler with my pdo thread lifts and Morpheous to compensate for theee pdo full face thread lifts done by your staff and many before done thru you a few years ago. I have been a loyal and always paid over what i was supposed to. Refund my fees and believe karma is coming your way, ripping people off and out of nowhere get a text message like I did from you is so low and disrespectful to myself or anybody. My tip for y'all now is not cash but whoever read this feel free to ask questions I'll reply and go somewhere else you guys. This people don't care about you. Their number one goal is to cash you out and if for some reason you nicely questioned them for anything they'll find a way to keep your money and not ever talking to you about it. You will get ã provoking, careless and so unprofessional messages like this one out of nowhere. Go somewhere else bc this place not only made me pay for 3 full face pdo threads in which two were done within same month promising me that I would get fillers and Morpheous to compensate for many threads that she couldn't use or would get lost and therefore ended up been my fault that they didn't had enough thread after I had paid in full and was than told by one of their staff that threads were not going to be done by her anymore bc she couldn't wait to finish messing with her threads and telling me to make an appointment for threads with someone else. To make me feel even worse she said my face was smaller in my left side and kept showing to me on the mirror. I payed her in full bc I believe you pay others for a service and hoped someone else would take care of the threads that I never received it from this staff of RenuYou. I looked myself in the mirror and I felt sadness. I did payed her and mad another appointment to get my threads pdo full face done with someone else. I told her about the last incident (the one I just described just now) and had faith a business would care about myself. Moreover I was then caught up in an accident right the next morning after I had got this missing threads so called full face pdo lift. I will add pictures to show you what I look like after my accident and even after a few months you can see the permanent scar I was left with along with the sagging in my skin that was not resolved with the full face pdo thread lift. She simply told me someone else would get back with me in regards of the missing paid threads I never received.

I usually get that done every 3-4 months when I reach a point where the hair on my sides becomes wild and unmanageable. The top is thin enough that there's no worries up there. Anyway, I come home when she's already in bed. She wakes up, takes one look at me and let's out a shriek. Let's say it was a little short in spots.

Most places I've looked at charge extra for that, so that was a very nice surprise. It's not exactly a spa environment, but it's a stellar massage. Highly recommend!
