My mother purchased over $1,200 worth of laser hair treatments as a gift for me. After the first three treatments, the laser left unsightly burns on my bikini area. This was back in 2012, and I still have marks due to the misuse of the laser. Lori, one of the top estheticians, assured me that she would make it right and that the hair would reduce quite a bit after she used "a new laser". After over 20 hair treatments, the hair has continued to come back with no change and I am left with the marks, as well as being $1,200 poorer. I would not recommend this salon for hair removal to anyone.

Our favorites were the massages and the pedicures. My husband never had a pedicure before and the last, and only, one I had was not an enjoyable experience. So, when we got it done here, it was very enjoyable and relaxing. The gals were all amazing and nice. The only downside was the red light treatment. Didn't really get much out of it and seems like it is something you would need to go back for multiple times to get the full benefits out of it. We could have done the foot detox but it wasn't something we were interested in so we did the red light. They also sell certain skin products as well and have monthly specials, so make sure you check those out on their website as well with their list of services they provide (it's quite extensive)! We very much enjoyed this place and will definitely be back. My husband even wants to do another pedicure!

From the moment I walked in, the spa felt warm, calming, and thoughtfully designed--an instant exhale. Autumn is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also genuinely attentive and intuitive in her approach. She gave me a full-service facial using Eminence products, along with dermaplaning and a light lymphatic drainage massage, and the entire experience was next-level. She explained everything she was doing, customized the treatment to my skin's needs, and created a perfect balance of relaxation and results. My skin was glowing, smooth, lifted, and refreshed in a way I noticed immediately--and it just kept getting better over the next few days. Autumn's touch is amazing, her technique is spot-on, and you can tell she truly cares about both skin health and the overall experience. Hideaway House Spa is a gem in Meridian, and Autumn is exactly the kind of provider you want trusting your face with--professional, skilled, and genuinely passionate about what she does. I already can't wait to book my next appointment. Highly, highly recommend!

Appreciate that they took me in as a walk in. The nail tech was nice and fun to talk to. Would not recommend unless you are willing to sit around for hours for your nails to dry all the way through. This is an unacceptable manicure in my book. See attached pictures of me easily scratching into my still wet polish. The base coat was Seche Vite base, color- OPI Princess Rule, top coat OPI (not sure which one, but clearly not a quick dry), OPI laquer drying drops. I use this polish and base coat all the time at home and have no issues with prolonged drying time so long as it isn't too thick and a little drying time is allowed per coat (60-90 seconds). I don't understand how this manicure is so bad. Consider using Seche Vite quick dry top coat (can cause wronkles in metallic polishes) or Seche Vite gel effect top coat (great on top of all polished i have tried). OPI's quick dry top coat is also decent. I totally appreciate that I came in at the end of the day as a walk in and appreciate that I was given service with no fuss. I will even admit that I smudged a nail that the tech reapplied for me and I smudged my thumb while paying, but there is no excuse for my other nails to still be prone to gouging and smudging 90 minutes after the manicure. I think the tech may be more comfortable with gel manicures as she said that is what she uses kn her nails- to be fair- you can cure those in minutes. UPDATE- it's been almost 5 hours and the polish is still soft- It is easily dented and scratches off. What a mess- very gummy and bubbly! I was so looking forward to not having to do my nails this week, but it turns out I have to remove this mess and do it myself- plus I'm out $30

Time to update my comments because I often recommend this Aveda products used salon, where I have…read morebeen a client for 3 years, and the young stylist I am now seeing there, Nicole Tolman, who keeps my difficult to manage hair in great shape with her professional cuts. (She is Elite / Senior Level.) The stylist who I first used here moved in 2025 and I decided to stay with this well run, "everyone is welcome" salon location and become Nicole's client because I saw her work "walking" in other clients during my time there and also because she had been doing a stellar job for me in keeping my brows in good shape since 2023 and so I knew how delightful she was to work with. It was a very good choice. EVERYONE IS WELCOME: For we women who have our Social Security Eligibility birthday in our rearview it is my experience that it is often so that we get treated as second class citizens in salons. I appreciate that Nicole makes me feel as important as younger clients and I've seen her patience and skill in practice for all ages. As related note, not all the stylists in the salon cut men's hair, my previous stylist here didn't as example, but Nicole does and my husband has been her client since 2023. APPOINTMENT PROCESS: I appreciate that appointments are made with the salon, that is one isn't calling or texting the stylist directly, and the calendars are well managed. It may take a few weeks to have an opening for your first appointment, but then they are easy to schedule at planned intervals. Appointment reminders are sent by text but if you need to call the salon there is a number to use to do that. SPARKLING CLEAN & WELL MANAGED: The owner is on premises much of the time, and she also does some of the scheduling, so attention is paid her to have things as they should be. Professionally run. AVEDA PRODUCTS: Sold in the salon. PARKING: A private lot for convenience. ACCESSIBILITY: There is accessible, aka ADA, parking in the lot. Clear floor space inside that usable by a person in a wheelchair (as one woman who entered after me for my last cut was after having an accident) to get to and from stylist's chair and shampoo area. I have had multiple sclerosis since my college years so I pay attention to accessibility and I very much appreciate that Nicole is comfortable working with a person with disability. LOCATION & TRAFFIC HEADS UP: On State Street conveniently located for me just minutes east of Eagle, I think this location is technically Garden City although the address says Boise and if so it is far west side of Boise. Beware of traffic making a left turn out of the lot onto State Street if you're crossing traffic headed west. It is fast moving at this uncontrolled entry onto State.
