Usually when you try stuff like this you'll get the tone from the employee that comes off as "I don't want to but my manager is standing right here, so yes" but that was not the case here. They were more than happy to take us within the hour. For two people who hadn't had massages before, this was quite the experience. Extremely relaxing experience with a pleasant, soothing environment. We had such a pleasant conversation with our masseuses, who were both locals. Boy 45 minutes can fly by. Would highly recommend, especially if you're on your honeymoon like we were!

I'm happy to say that Acqua Aveda doesn't fall into this trap, with a friendly, professional staff and a top-notch (in my case) pedicure. I'm annoyed that I can't remember the name of the woman giving me my pedicure because she was incredibly kind when I was having a rough day, and she had this warmth that made me feel better. She also did a *great* job with my hoof-like heels and my nails. Next time I'm in Anna Maria, I'll head back in, and I know I'll get great service again.

I got a massage but only shoulders (a lot of people will push for everything but not Claire maire!) pedi and mani but shortened versions (I don't like everything) and my hair dyed and trimmed!! It was awesome!! Hair is definitely my favorite because it's literally the exact color I wanted (not black but dark brown) and she cut it exactly the way I wanted! She was even able to fix my disastrous bangs so that they aren't too bad until the grow out (a huge mistake done by another stylist but Claire maire made them bare able for the next few months). Massage was better than last time and I love the color on my hands and feet! If you like small settings and not your typical spa Claire maire is for you. She's a wonderful, Positive person! If you have to pick one thing (which is really hard) I would say go for a hair cut and color. However, I don't think you could go wrong with any of her services!!

The massage was terrific and my IT band feels much better. I would highly recommend Claire Maria's for either of these services.

That was honestly not a problem considering I am looking for a new stylist. However, that's when things got really bad for me. When I sat down with Giulian ( I think thats what her name was) she insisted on knowing what salon I had been to before, while I am not interested in talking negatively about anyone in my community so I politely declined to tell her who it was. After that, we took my hair down and the stylist said "ewuu"! And then stated "she wasn't comfortable with me in her chair" and told me to reschedule with someone else. I left there in tears today. It seams like a lovely place and I would have very much enjoyed that being my home salon. I hope you get a kinder stylist to represent your business.

I only had one experience there, which was a good one. However, the day of my second appointment I…read moregot a call a couple of hours before my visit, it was canceled. I was told my stylist was going to be out for a while and the woman who called became very pushy about having me see a different stylist, which I did not appreciate. I think it's very inappropriate to push someone into seeing a different person than the one who was requested. I asked multiple times if the stylist no longer worked their because that is the only reason I can think of for pushing so hard to get me to see someone else. After making it very clear that I would wait for the stylist to return, after being told repeatedly that she did still work there, I never got a call back when she "returned". I wouldn't recommend going to a salon that will lie to you to try to keep getting your money, instead of allowing you the opportunity to stay with the stylist you are happy with. I assume the owner thinks that's the best way to keep clients in the salon, personally, I disagree.

There's a little bit of something for everyone here, whether it's cute beach clothes, actual vintage clothes, jewelry both maximalist and more dainty, books for the avid reader, and toys and a whole kids section. They have a wine nook for those interested, and an adorable section of beach-themed Christmas ornaments, some even made from actual oysters. And naming each options of goods, they all have their own sizable sections. A big section for jewelry, an entire book nook, and big section for vintage clothes, etc. It's a lot of fun to wander through all of it. I would say the prices are a little higher than I prefer for most of the items. But they seem to be pretty nice quality so at least there's that.
