She is very experienced and has the proper tools and understanding when it comes to cutting and styling hair. Janine is very personable, understanding, and interested in the clients needs.

The cut was great, looking forward to my next haircut!

I have never felt so pampered and attended to. I wasn't sure what to expect and was quite nervous but I instantly was made comfortable. The room was beautifully decorated and very serene. While receiving a facial the accompanying head and shoulder massage was just the cherry on top. She looked very closely at my skin to educate on how to create a skin care routine that works for me. She really does cater to your personal skin care needs. I feel this was a tease; it makes you want to experience it all. I know I was here for a facial but I know I'll be back for it all!! If you haven't experienced a self care day this is where to go!

I saw Nicole for the first time today and she did a beautiful job with my lashes! I will update my review if I go in for a tan. Nicole was very kind and accommodating. She is clearly knowledgeable, and makes an effort to keep the space comfortable and relaxing. She has a very sweet dog who sits quietly the whole time, and it was a treat to meet her. Nicole was able to accommodate me even though my booking was done the night before, and I was so glad to have the opportunity to get my lashes done by her! UPDATE (2/2017) I have now been for a tan and I loved it. I did the rapid organic tan. I can't believe I've never done this before. It's amazing for two reasons: 1. You can shower after two hours. That's right... no more trying to go 24 hours without letting your body touch your sheets or your clothes or another person. 2. It smells seriously great going on. It does have that "spray tan smell" over the next couple of days, but it's so mild. I work in an office where I know they would tease me relentlessly if they noticed I had gotten a spray tan (hi guys ). I think for the first two days it was pretty noticeable (not orange or anything, just mysterious for February), but by the third day I looked perfectly sun kissed. The color stuck around beautifully for a full week and I still have a kiss of it two weeks later.

I contacted her last minute for a spray tan and though her weekly schedule was packed she squeezed me in on her day off! (Could you believe that?!) She didn't use it as an excuse to speed up the process. She was informative, thorough, and patient. A chemist at work, she took the time to find the right cocktail color for what I was after and a few days later I'm happy to say it is beautiful. I have had so many compliments and I can't wait to recommend her to all my friends. She even followed up to see about post tan care and if I was happy. Thank you Nicole, I am very happy!

From the moment you walk into the spa, you feel how thoughtfully it was designed--elegant, calming, and absolutely beautiful. She and her husband, Dr. Holden, have created something really special by blending a luxurious spa atmosphere with a trusted medical side, which gives you so much confidence in the care you're receiving. Her European facials are next level--so personalized, relaxing, and my skin always looks noticeably brighter and healthier afterward. Her waxing is precise and gentle, and she somehow makes even spray tanning feel easy and natural with flawless results every time. On the medical spa side, Dr. Holden has the medical experience that assures their clients they are in a safe environment. What also stands out is the professionalism of the whole team. Their client coordinator is always professional, welcoming and helpful. The spa is also staffed with knowledgeable nurses for services like microneedling and other advanced treatments, which really elevates everything they offer. You feel like you're in expert hands no matter what service you're getting. It's one of those places you look forward to going back to.

For her birthday, Witchy Writer Friend was getting a haircut. It had been years since she had a…read moreprofessional styling (her method of taming her hair was to pull her hair back into a ponytail and hack at it with a pair of scissors!) so she was due. I asked the people I saw with great hair where they got it done, and the most popular answer was CR Salon. I called and booked an appointment. We had to reschedule a few times due to the plague, with a customer exposing the entire staff one day (which shut them down for a number of days), and then one of the other stylists had tested positive which did the same. We eventually found a period where everyone was in good health, and WF finally got her appointment with Alex. WF's only request was to move away from her then-current "swamp hag" look, to something a little more contemporary and easy to care for. My thought was that Alex is a stylist, not a miracle worker, but Alex took the request and ran with it. I was left in the beautiful and comfortable waiting area for a long time, while WF was hustled off into the cutting area. The perky receptionist offered me a beverage while I waited, one I gratefully accepted. Finally, it was reveal time! I didn't recognize WF at first, the cut, framed her face, took years off her look, and preserved her trademark "skunk stripe" that usually hung in her face! Alex IS a miracle worker! Prices are about mid-range for the salons in the area, and considering the amount of time required, was probably a bargain. WF was very happy, and has gone back a couple of times to keep the new look from reverting back to its preferred state. Highly recommended!

Explained what I wanted both color and cut and got it. Professional and courteous Thank you Michaelaread more
