Great Cut, Bad Ownership/management

by Paula Murphy at Citysearch

My haircut was fine. The stylist was kind and did a fine job with my hair. Checking out was awful! I asked to speak with the owner, who refused to talk with me. I left my phone number for her to call me, and I never heard from her. I will never return...

• Cons: Front Desk

BEST SPA EXPERIENCE EVER!

by 1AngelDiva at Citysearch

I had a full-day package. From the time I walked through the door, I felt a warm welcome. These bone-chilling Maine winters can take a toll. If you are thinking of treating yourself this place makes you feel FABULOUS!

From the warmed massage table with Devin's magic fingers working away the tension built-up in my neck and shoulders (and the rest of me), onto Ana's amazing facial on another warm massage table, I just felt the tension melting from me. My skin never looked better or felt softer.

Kristin brought my hairstyle to current, all the while explaining my face shape and hair texture and what would work specifically for me. Then I was whisked away to a mani/pedi also with warming paraffin treatments for hands and feet (making skin so soft).

The women who work here are happy, amazing, talented and warm. Unlike many spas with the stick-figure mannequins who service you, this is a real place. You feel at home here with the services they provide and outstanding customer service at every step of the way.

Every person who works here seems to genuinely love their work and their talent is obvious. I tip my hat to the owners who clearly know what they are doing and have a wonderful business.

If you are thinking of a new hairstyle or just need "a break", I would recommend it highly. I am glowing and feel relaxed and wonderful. I'm looking forward to when I can go back again....

• Pros: Customer service is #1, talent, warm massage tables, feel amazing when finished.
• Cons: parking for more than 2 hours is 2 blocks away, but they provide stamps
