A few minutes later Tara greeted me and asked me to fill out a Covid questionnaire. From there, she escorted me to the massage room. She asked me some questions and then left me to get ready. When she returned she made sure that I was comfortable both on the table as well as cool enough. The next 90 minutes were sheer bliss. I absolutely loved my entire experience.

I was unfortunately disappointed with my experience for my wedding day hair. During my trial, I…read moreloved the style we created and felt confident going into my wedding day. However, the final result looked quite different from the trial and ended up feeling rushed and subpar, especially for such an important occasion. What was most disappointing was the response when I expressed that I wasn't happy with my hair. Instead of feeling heard, I felt that the owner became defensive rather than trying to understand my concerns or work toward a solution. As a bride, you hope to feel supported and confident on your wedding day, and unfortunately, that wasn't my experience. I do want to mention that the makeup artists were absolutely amazing. They were professional, kind, and did a beautiful job with everyone's makeup, which I truly appreciated. I don't leave negative reviews lightly, but I think it's important for future brides to know that while the makeup team was wonderful, my experience with the wedding hair services and customer service fell short of expectations.

I phoned in on Tuesday to book an appointment for Thursday for two men's haircuts in the afternoon…read more The lady on the other end of the line was very friendly and helpful, I believe her to be Renee! On Thursday (today), I walked down here with my friend Ricardo as we both had appointments on this warm but rainy day. Renee was right by the door and she was my stylist. She was super sweet and did my haircut just as I wanted her to, after glancing at the photo of my ideal haircut on my phone. She did a good job trimming but I really appreciate that she made more small alterations on my cut as we continued along (cut down some cowlicks and trimmed a little more) and all the while, we had a lovely conversation about Vermont. Afterwards, she shampooed my hair (part of the package!) and then styled my hair, using specific products (that I had never seen before) to add texture to my hair. I got to meet Val the owner who is also an absolute sweetheart. She and Renee exemplify my general perception of Vermont's hospitality and welcomed me into their shop. Funny aside: I was initially drawn by another person's set of Yelp reviews mentioning that the owner here is gossipy. I am sad to report that the only gossip I heard was about that aforementioned review when I brought it up to them. Despite the lack of hot gossip, Val is great, Renee is great. They let me take neat pictures of my sweet new hairdo using their fancy equipment. I was a little worried about the price (as I usually am about anywhere), but Hair Network's prices are totally reasonable, at $25 for a men's cut and shampoo (I would have to pay $20 for a Middlebury College student to cut my hair but these students never shampooed me tsk tsk). I was a little apprehensive about getting my hair cut in town because of the horror stories I heard over the years about the different hair places, but my experience today only makes me want to return and get my hair done here again.

I'll be honest, I'm a total spa snob. The Spa At Stowe Mountain Lodge might be the best I have ever…read moreexperienced. Just walking through the door into the storefront where you check in for your treatment is cathartic on its own with soothing smells, good lighting, and kind smiles from welcoming staff. The [very clean] locker rooms are equipped with everything you'd expect from a quality spa (soft robes, great showers, top-notch toiletries, hairdryers, etc). The relaxation room is warm (in every sense of the word) and calming. There are lounge chairs covered in pillows right by a fireplace with a gorgeous view of Stowe Mountain. There are snacks, handbagged tea, and icy cold coconut water. It's a perfect place to start your unwinding journey. The water lounge is like it was taken out of a magazine, and if I hadn't already been signed up for a salt scrub, I would have spent much of my time in there. The steam room is dimly lit with the sounds of a rainstorm, the steam infused with eucalyptus. The sauna smells like a cherry wood forest and the natural warmth from the himalayan salts inside is grounding. My actual treatment was otherworldly, which is what my therapist told me it would be; she kept her word. I'm running out of words to describe it, but I will say that I felt like I had shed my skin like a snake and that both my skin and spirit were completely renewed. I cannot recommend this spa more. If you're in the area, don't miss it.

This time " jacuzzi women's and jacuzzi mens both non functioning. Check weather outside as jacuzzi and pool will close if thunder. Finally, no one really monitoring the spa are so if a large loud group comes through and leaves a huge mess of drinks and food and trash. You might be the one to deal with it (eg no where to put your things, too many dirty drink glasses on vanity no where to sit or find a quiet spot. Not really a "Spa" feel as a result. O heads up if you are looking for quiet and relaxing. This is not it. If you want big family reunion bridal, or mom's weekend away. This might be your spot.

I understand that prices vary, but if you are going to overcharge based on supply and demand, at a minimum the same quality service should be offered. I think it's fair to expect that this manicure + pedicure would be as good as a mani / pedi half the price. 1. Nail polish started chipping less than 24 hours later 2. The nail polish coat was not smooth, you could see the various layers 3. There was not proper cuticle cutting or dead skin removal of pedicure So disappointed with my experience. Hopefully this message will help someone from making the same mistake I did. Do not get a manicure / pedicure here.

They were quick and efficient professional and very kind and patient. The environment was very clean and smoke very nice everything was in order and it was also very professional. The hair consultant listen to my needs and my wants regarding of my son's hair she didn't decide to make her her own but instead asked me along the way if it's was okay and I really appreciate that. The price was great it was $7 for his hair to get trimmed so I gave her a $10 tip for her professionalism. I will make sure to go back there again for my son and even for my daughter. I would recommend for almost anybody to go there. And the reason why I say almost is because I have ethnic hair and honestly I don't know if the ladies have ever dealt with ethnic hair, I guess I will have to be a discussion for later to them.
