I just recently located to Helena from San Diego, and was dreading the thought of trying to find a…read moregood stylist. After trying one other place downtown and receiving a bad cut (ARGH!), I followed up with Cristina at Bella's a couple of days later to see if she could fix the bad cut. I found my stylist! Put her great, genuine and warm personality aside. - She took the time to listen to what I was wanting. - She made suggestions. - She is knowledgeable, up-to-date on the latest cuts. - She is METICULOUS - yes...she is a perfectionist and took extra time to make sure my cut met her expectations. - Her shop is spotless - very clean. I can honestly say I am more impressed with her that I was my regular stylist back home. So, if you are looking for a great place for a great cut, I highly recommend giving Cristina a try.

Simply put, BEST hair cut I've ever received-period. little bit of a scheduling snafu though; when you say DAY SPA, expect to spend all day. I had colour and cut. She was horrified about the way my colour turned out, but she didn't need to be, it just needed to be washed and worn a day or two - because within that time, it "developed" and turned fabulous. Seems that Robin is now joining forces with her and that will be a VERY NICE addition. The two are sure to present a world class salon in little ol' Helena. 'bout time! I really shouldn't be writing this because now I'll have problems getting in again! Stay Awesome Christina and Robin! xoxo.

Most massage therapists cannot apply a deep enough pressure for my liking, but hers was perfect! She also really got into my hips and jaw which I appreciated, because I find most massage therapists shy away from those areas, and that's where I keep all my tension. I wish I lived in the area so she could be my regular masseuse, and I hope she starts to mentor other students to massage the way she does.

She's no longer here so today I'm seeing Blu as Jake wasn't available, she's incredible! I just finished a metabolic cleanse and Blu was able to make some suggestions to help me flush!

The second you walk through the door, your shoulders drop you take a deep breath, and upon check-in the employee at the front desk asks you if you would prefer a foot soak or to sit in the sauna until it's time for your appointment. Personally, I chose the foot soak, and I'm so glad that I did. The delicious infused water is hydrating and soothing. Sekiva is lovely. I believe this was the greatest facial I have had in years. I like to keep up with my appearance, and I like to feel good! Hibernate day, Spa uses incredible and clean products. Sekiva's touch is delicate and healing. I could probably stay in this spa all day, and I think next time I will! If you are looking for rejuvenation, peace, tranquility, and you want to walk out, feeling even more beautiful than you did, walking in hibernate day spa is a must! thank you so much for the wonderful service. I am so excited to book again!

Nice atmosphere and kind service. Seemed like they had run out of lots of menu items. First steak came out cold, second was a cut of meat that was definitely not a steak with a strange aftertaste. For the birthday at our table, they brought out a scoop of whipped cream with chocolate sauce on top. I appreciate the courtesy and efforts of the wait staff, but I would recommend exploring other options or visiting earlier in the day at this price point.

Near the downtown Bozeman area, we were easily able to find this little house which is unassuming from the outside when you think spa. Inside is so lovely, they had a little comfortable waiting room where you chill before you are taken downstairs for bliss. Jamie did my massage, and I dozed off which says everything in my book. She was absolutely amazing with the right level of pressure to make my 90 minutes go way too fast. My bestie had this tall young guy, and she said it was probably the best massage she ever had. She has a very physical job, so that says everything! On our way out, we perused the skincare products they had available for purchase, not leaving empty handed. I can't recommend Indira enough, if I were to ever get back to the area I would not hesitate coming here again!

The job looked about 3-4 months grown out the day the person finished it. The stylist didn't listen to how I asked for it to be done. I feel like I could have gotten a box of hair coloring from Target and asked my daughter who's in college to color my hair. She would have done a better job than what the person from Canyon River did. After I went home, they asked how things went. I responded that I wasn't happy with the job done. I don't know why they asked my opinion because I never heard back from them about my complaints. Why bother going back there if the business doesn't show they care what the customer thinks?

Only giving this 2 stars because my massage was good…read more I came in on Wednesday for a massage and facial. The lady at the front desk walked me down the hall, pointed at the "women's" room, and said, "go in there and change." Uh...not even going to show me the locker or show me how to put in the code?? Get into the ladies locker room and it was tiny and a mess. Towels on the floors, no robes in the lockers, trash...just gross. My massage was very good, but then comes the facial. The worst facial of my life. She asked me about my goals, and I said moisture and extractions. She tells me, "they're not setup for extractions here." I feel like that is standard for facials and they should have a disclaimer about that. Go into the facial, and she was so rough. Weirdly massaged me and kept yanking on my arms saying, "relax!" She also did not tell me a single product that she used on my face/explain what each did. I go to pay...tip was already included, which on principle, annoys me. Then the ladies at the front can't print off my receipt so one says, "do you mind if I sign it for you?" YES I MIND!! They also put a "gift box" up front with your name as a way to push products. It's not a gift - everything is over $50. Worst money I've ever spent. While the massage was good, I could've gotten a good massage for a fraction of the price. I paid for a spa experience that I did not get. Do not go here.

His intuitive touch, deep knowledge of body mechanics and the ability to release tension in exactly the right places, left me feeling renewed, balanced and completely re-energized.

If you are looking for someone who truly understands the art of message, Michael Lee is the one to see.

Chico Hot Springs was a highlight of our nine-day, four-state road trip through Idaho, Utah,…read moreWyoming, and Montana...and there were a LOT of highlights. Originally booked as a single night, post-Yellowstone reprieve (I mean, looking at hot springs all day long makes you want to soak in one, right?!), we ended up extending our stay another day, because of how much we all (my wife and I, plus our two toddler tons) loved this place! The hot springs alone is worth the price of admission: two pools, one smaller and warmer, the other larger and cooler (but still warm enough that there is no temperature shock when shifting between them), with a poolside bar window where you can order cocktails from the attached saloon...that's pretty hard to beat! There's also an attached restaurant, but we didn't get a chance to check it out, as it was closed by the time we returned to the hotel both nights. There's also the aforementioned saloon, which is open until 11-ish every night (basically, until everyone staggers out), with a wonderful, conversational bartender, Kelby, who was warm, welcoming and engaging: a true gem in an already glittering establishment. He also pointed out their absolutely ABSURD wine selection, indicating the presence of a fabulously stocked wine vault somewhere on site, for those with expensive tastes (not me; I'll stick to my whiskey!). Rooms are rustic, but comfortable, including the beds. We stayed our first night in a private cabin up on the hill, with two small bedrooms (queen beds in each) and a bathroom. Our second night, all the cabins were filled, so we ended up in a room in the main lodge, on the second floor, which had its own aesthetic perks, as the whole building feels like an inn from a previous century (which, technically, I guess it is...but it feels even older than that, in all the good ways). It's probably also haunted. We hope it is, anyway! Beyond all these incredible features I've mentioned, there's actually many, many more: an on-site gift shop / café, open from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM every day; there's a day spa up on the hill; you can book horseback rides from the stable near the gift shop; there's a playground for the littles behind the private garden, which appears to be tended by the James Beard award-winning chefs that make the fantastic dining hall an excellent choice for either breakfast/brunch (a buffet at $22/person, and absolutely worth it), or a truly incredible fine dining service in the evening. All those things, and I'm sure I'm probably forgetting or overlooked something. In short, Chico Hot Springs has something for everyone, young or old, rustic or extravagant: our little sons LOVED the hot springs (as did we, of course), but there's so much more to love here, that it has made a lasting impression on us all. Montana has never had much of a draw for city-slickers like my wife and I, but after our stay here, our ignorance has been thoroughly rectified. VERY recommended.

We stayed in the covered wagons. First of all, they do not look like the picture. Only one has a fire pit, and that wasn't either of ours. There is a group fire pit by the bathrooms, but they wouldn't even help us with smores supplies or sticks. You are in the middle of nowhere, so if you forgot something, don't expect them to help. The area around the wagons is very overgrown. They had a horseshoe pit that was hard to see because there was so much grass. Not that it would matter, they didn't have any horseshoes there. The wagons themselves had good mattresses and comfortable bedding. However, they only had air conditioner available and no heat. Kind of pointless in the Montana mountains. I'm glad our weather was mild while we were there. We checked in at 6:30, and asked when the pool side grill would close. They said after 9pm. We got on our swimsuits, and headed to the pool, only to find the grill closed and it wasn't even 7! I went to the front desk to complain, and all they said was the girl who told us was wrong. So I asked about eating in the restaurant but they said they stopped taking reservations at 4 PM even if they have any openings. So, that left us feeding five kids in a saloon. There were only two saloon workers that night. They did their best, but you could tell they were very understaffed. It made the whole experience pitiful. It is not like you have another choice of a place to eat when you're that far from town. Overall, Chico is an overpriced waste. Save your money and go to one of the other cool places in the area. The Hot Springs at Yellowstone Hot Springs is better than the Chico pool anyway.
