    Cancer Patient Refused $500 Refund - Poorly Done Microblading…read more I am a recently diagnosed cancer patient that was seeking to get my eyebrows microbladed. I went to Maria @mariialash for microblading/"nano brows". Her price for this service is $500. I wanted to get this done prior to starting chemo so I could still have natural-looking brows during treatment. Unfortunately, 100% of the pigment that Maria put on my eyebrows fell out, despite following her care instructions. I informed her of this and sent a photo of my plain brows, stating that I am starting treatment any minute and will be unable to do anything that may compromise my immune system such as getting a tattoo, for at least the next year. At this time I requested a refund. She has refused to disperse a refund stating that her disclaimers her clients sign state this could happen. A flimsy "disclaimer" does not excuse a business from providing good service and exercising good judgement. I do not recommend trusting Maria with your money nor your brows.

She paid $500 for the service, hoping to have brows before starting chemotherapy. Unfortunately, despite following the aftercare instructions, 100% of the pigment fell out and she was left with zero results. I've had my own brows microbladed at a different business for over five years, and my experience was nothing like this. When my friend reached out, she provided photos and explained that she could not attempt a correction because of her upcoming chemo and radiation, and asked for a refund. Maria refused, citing a disclaimer. But a disclaimer doesn't excuse poor results or lack of accountability. For such an important and time-sensitive service, this was extremely disappointing. I would not recommend trusting this business with your money.

    Went to Perception for the first time and got a facial! I'm usually cautious about what I put on my…read moreskin since it's more on the sensitive side but decided to give this place a try. Hannah gave me my facial and was great. Explained everything to me and checked to make sure the tools were not causing me discomfort. The room was cleaned and had soothing music played during my experience. I tried hard not to fall asleep and felt relaxed. I left the place with my face feeling great and no breakouts the following days! I would definitely find time for another facial at Perception!

    Perception Organic Spa recently moved locations and rebranded to Sen Organic Spa. That said, I've…read morebeen a loyal patron of this spa for three years. Let me start with the service. I've had facials, pedicures, manicures, and massages here. Every time I've enjoyed my service as it's a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. It isn't stressful or loud. It's exactly the vibe you want when heading for a self care day. The products they use are 100% house-made and organic. I've had skin reactions before, but never here. As a matter of fact, other spas have left my face looking red and inflamed after facials - I leave here glowing. Now I can't speak to any of the other massage therapists here, but Tsondu is who I see any time I'm seeking a massage. I truly feel like he is a healer in some way. I leave relaxed and I'm always comfortable throughout the service. I'm love the new location and I can't wait to come back soon!

    I would give Parlor 10 stars if I could . My son and I have both been going to Parlor for four…read moreyears. The quality of the cuts and color provided at Parlor are unmatched. Aside from the incredible quality of service provided, it is an absolute delight to walk through the front doors. The Mavens at Parlor make you feel like family. Their recent move to 22nd and Main changed the scenery but not the vibe. My son and I both look forward to our visits. They, along with their sweet pups who frequent the salon, have created an inclusive and affirming space while authentically stating that they "are not for everyone.**" Their website statement: "Parlor is a warm, welcoming, come-as-you-are salon. We have a zero-tolerance policy with offensive or harassing language and behavior from anyone, staff or clientele. Any persons participating in such actions will be asked to leave immediately." If you are looking for amazing hair services, along with an amazing community of people, this is the place for you.

    After seeing the amazing cuts and reviews for this salon, as a newcomer to Richmond I was excited…read moreto get a rad cut here. Something went seriously awry for me. Maybe I have lost the ability to communicate effectively. Maybe we entered another dimension of reality and I will wake up soon. This is a hair nightmare. I first had my hair cut from a stylist that was recommended by the receptionist as amazing at texture. I mentioned to her that I was growing my hair out a bit. I ended up with a thick, chunky cut that was, frankly, bad. I called and asked if someone else could fix it. I was slotted in with the owner. She was not happy that my statement that I was having fun getting my edgy, highly texturized short hair just a bit longer was not honored, as my hair was significantly shorter than when I first came in. I stressed that I wanted a soft, super texturized haircut with lot of tendrils and such. The owner has a gorgeous cut, with tons of soft texture, much like what I was looking for. For a reason that I cannot fathom, she cut most of my hair off the back of my head almost to the scalp. She kept going up the back of my head with the comb and scissors and I could not figure out why. Now, looking at it at home, I guess I know why...there are little patches in this very short hair that are sticking straight out, which she was clearly trying to fix. It's like a series of harsh chop marks with a slightly longer patch in the middle. It looks absolutely bizarre and awful. It's also cut super short where I have a natural cowlick, so it legit looks like I have a bald spot back there. I cannot understand why she cut my hair so very, very short, even though we had discussed repeatedly that I was growing it a bit. I am pretty fearless with my hair, and it takes a lot to rattle me. I left the salon shaking, got in my car and had a panic attack, and now looking at the back, am wondering how it will even be possible to fix this. I am guessing someone will have to pretty much shave the back of my head. Everyone in there had the most amazing haircuts. Next level cool. Beautiful salon with the nicest people. I'm absolutely gutted. I want my long twirls and funky tendrils back. It will take a year to get back to where I was. And yes, I will admit that when I woke up this morning and felt my hair and looked in the mirror, I couldn't stop myself from crying. First world problems, I know I know, I don't want to be the woman who cries over her hair, ugh, but what in the actual blank happened here?!

    My wife and I booked a couples spa day about a month and a half ago. This is important on why it…read morewas booked so far in advance. My wife and I were in Short Pump and decided we wanted to schedule our couples spa day so she called the Short Pump location. I was sitting beside her and they were on speaker phone while she scheduled. They kindly asked if "your husband" would be ok with a male massage therapist. This is a no for me and always will be. It's my personal preference and will never change. My wife said no and they told us it would be about a month before they could accommodate us. We showed up on our scheduled date after working extra late the day before because it takes us an hour to drive to this location and we know it would take up our whole day. After sitting in my sauna for 20 minutes I sat there waiting for 10 minutes for my therapist, who, to my surprise was a male. I explained I did not want a male therapist. He was polite and I thought was going to tell me to wait a few minutes while he figured this out. Instead he said "go ahead and get dressed and go to the front". So that's what I did expecting an employee or manager to come figure out what needed to be done. It's also important to know once he told me this I told him to tell my wife because I know she would have gotten up and left. He said to me "Oh, she's probably started her treatment". He did not walk me to the front or talk to me after in any way. The staff sat at the front desk whispering back and forth so much that I felt uncomfortable and decided to wait outside. 2.5 hours later I get a call saying it's time for my facial. I explained what happened and told them it was a terrible experience and they said sorry and I won't be charged. She also said she would have a manager contact me. Guess what, not contact has been made to me directly. However, my wife called and let them know just how bad and unprofessional this experience was. The manager, Kendall, agreed and said this is unacceptable and she was going to contact upper management to see what they could do. After Kendall failed to contact my wife as promised she called her. Now Kendall told my wife I lied, that never happened, there staff did nothing wrong and they could offer me 20% off if I come back in. Let me be clear on how I feel about Scents and Serenity. I would rather chew my own fingers off than step foot into that spa again. I will eat the money I wasted on this place rather than be treated so badly, called a liar and listen to the excuses the staff made to protect their mistakes. It was clear and I heard my wife directly state I wanted a female therapist and they agreed and scheduled a later date. Oh, let me also explain that my wife probably hadn't even started her session and had a female therapist. They easily could have corrected this by switching. We would have been completely fine with that. And time wasn't an issue. We started 10 minutes early to the excuse of "you wouldn't have gotten all your time" is irrelevant. Look, I'm sure people may love that place. Everything is good until it isn't and the way the manager handled this showed my their attitude towards all their clients behind closed doors and money is the only thing that matters to them.
