Bodi Barr has some of the most genuine and authentic workers!! These are women who are driven to help other women. They encourage and uplift you while you are there for your service. They are making a difference in the world through how they treat their customers! I had such dry skin from over using products that dried out my skin- and Nikki educated me on skin products and how they penetrate into the skin- and how skin can react to these different products. I got moisturizing facials which have made my skin feel SO healthy and SO smooth. I have also changed my skin care routine and products to something way healthier for my skin. Turns out I believed a false teaching about how to care for my face. Nikki turned that around for me!! I feel so confident in the knowledge I now have about my skin, the feel/texture, and the appearance of my skin! I HIGHLY recommend this place! It will change your skin care life for the better!! read more

I definitely have mixed reviews but am willing to try this place again. I received botox and was told some false information before I got there. I was also told they're normally closed. That wouldn't have been an issue except when I arrived no one was coming to the door. I was trying to call to let them know I was five minutes late. There was someone in the hallway I know that saw me but never acknowledged me. It was a little frustrating because it was pouring rain. I stood out there for fifteen mintues before he finally came out. Apparently he assumed I wasn't showing up and took someone else instead. Typically places give some kind of grace period. Literally five mintues. So I actually waited 45 mintues past my appointment time. I honeslty would have just left but I was treating myself to this for my birthday. I did like the results so I will maybe try this place again. read more

Michael Holloway was the absolute best when I got my first lip fillers! He was very kind and informative and talked to me like we've known each other for years. he was so excited for me and you can TELL he loves what he does. He really went above and beyond describing all my options, what he was going to do, and how he was going to inject the syringe into my lips. I felt EXTREMELY comfortable, and overall enjoyed talking to Michael! He made me feel like I was talking to a friend and we just talked about life and whatever came to mind. I will definitely be going back to get another syringe with Michael! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND going to Bodi Barr to get your lips to perfection by Michael Hollaway!

I held this establishment in high regard and trusted them completely. Unfortunately, today that relationship was entirely broken.Due to an unforeseen emergency, I was running 14 minutes behind. I called while on my way to give them a heads-up. Despite my years of loyalty, I was rigidly told that because of a 10-minute late policy, I would be turned away because they were slammed for the 4th of July holiday. I even offered to skip my blow-dry to make up for the 4 minutes, but was told my stylist Grace was already overbooked.I was literally moments from pulling into the parking lot, begging to be seen, and was still turned away. Turning away a client who frequents your business every three weeks over a matter of four minutes--especially when a compromise was offered--shows a complete lack of integrity and customer appreciation. It is tasteful business practice to value relationships over rigid booking windows. Because my loyalty was not acknowledged, I have canceled all of my upcoming appointments for the next several months and will not be returning.

My friend and I were very excited to try this place out because it looked so cute and had great reviews. We were both getting our hair colored and cut. The first two and a half hours were enjoyable, we all were laughing and joking, having a good time. Where it all went downhill was when Jessica turned my friend facing me and all I could see was a half inch of red hair dye stained all around her forehead. I asked if that was normal with what I am sure was a terrified look on my face. Both Jessica and my stylist, Margo, tried to blow it off and tell me and my friend that was normal and she could just "go home and use make-up remover". I should have spoken up more but was still in the process of getting my hair done. Margo did a great job with my color (but I found a color stain on one side of my head too-not near as bad as my friends) but my hair was not straightened well at all and I had to have her even it out in the front. I stayed pleasant and professional up until the point that they tried to hand me business cards for the next visit (my friend had already left) and I politely said that I did not agree with what the stain on my friend's head and how they reacted to it. That's when my friend came back in and showed them how bad it was. It took us pretty much arguing with them about it not being ok that my stylist, Margo, finally took out some wipes and tried to remove some of the stain. After speaking briefly to the owner about my friend's unhappy experience, we left. Shortly after we left Jessica called my friend and stated that it is "normal practice" for her to "leave an even line of dye on a forehead to avoid being completely obnoxious". What should have been a fun, enjoyable girls' day ended up a frustrating experience. We will never recommend or return to this business. I honestly feel the good reviews must have been from family because it seemed as not only the owner and employees but customers too-were all related or childhood friends. I have attached two pictures. 1. The cut and color I requested on the left, what I got on the right. 2. The dye stain on my head they let me walk out with-not even half as bad as my friends!
