Both ladies were so sweet and did amazing!! They are pros. On the day of the wedding, they arrived early to my house. I was a little nervous they did my makeup so early in the morning since my wedding was during the early afternoon. Luckily my hair and makeup stayed in place all day. Also enjoyed the facial they offered which helped the makeup last longer. You get what you pay for - meaning that you could go to Ulta or Sephora to have your makeup /hair done, but Red Stiletto artists will conveniently come to your house, which is so helpful. Thank you Red Stiletto for making me look and feel beautiful!

I went my first time about a month ago and I was a bit skeptical because I do not trust ANYONE with my hair. For years I have done my own hair and decided to go to a salon that eventually ended up ruining my hair and came here for the big fix! I was able to get in quickly and saw Bre Burkey. She color corrected my hair and was able to treat it so that the dry damaged hair would look just as good as it did before! She was patient with me in deciding the hair color I wanted. I went black last month and just yesterday after 7 hours of long hard work and patience, she was able to give me fabulous blonde highlights after ONE color removal! It looks beautiful, feels soft with little to no damage (despite the fact I bleach bleach bleach my hair) she is INCREDIBLE! I ended up tipping her $40 for such a fabulous job. She brought my confidence up and I definitely enjoy the entire atmosphere of this hair salon. Accidents happen where you make a mistake on your hair but all of the staff here made me feel in good hands after my mistake. They didn't make me feel like I was being judged. I see how they work around me and other clients. They're great. I will definitely be coming back. The experience was awesome and thanks again Bre for your effort and patience in making sure my hair looked great!! Thank you to all the staff who was friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed my experience and plan on coming in more often! ;-)

Her nail tech was over 30 minutes late to work, forcing her to reschedule. She gave them the benefit of the doubt and rebooked. Fast forward to the day of the new appointment: twelve hours after giving birth to our daughter, while still in the hospital, we received a call from the owner asking if my wife was still coming in. I answered, excitedly explaining she had just delivered. Instead of offering a warming understanding, or opportunity to reschedule given the big life event, the owner responded in a demeaning, narcissistic tone: "Well congrats, just wish you would have called to cancel." This level of insensitivity and unprofessionalism is unacceptable, especially for a non-essential business. No pregnant woman, new mother, or family should be treated this way. Please think twice before giving them your business.

The heel scrubber was disposable. Male pedicurist nicked my foot with some tool and used some gel to stop the bleeding. It would have been nice if he said something instead of me just feeling my foot burn and seeing blood. The pedicurist that worked on my mom did a great job and was very focused on the massage. Mom was very happy. My pedicurist seemed to not want to go near me. Both did fine for the actual polish but mom and I had totally different experiences. I wouldn't say it was worth the $65 "sugar bliss" for myself given the employee did not put in hardly any effort.

Then several days later, I booked a pedi (through their website) got there and was immediately seated by Kim (owners wife) and half way through my pedi and Chris came up to me and said that they actually couldn't take me today because they were booked (he tried to call me) "but it's okay because we got you in". Weirdest conversation ever. Later I checked my messages and I did get a system generated message that my apt was canceled due to no availability.
