I visited Ablution with my boyfriend's mom on the 4th of July to receive express facials and…read morepedicures. They were taking appointments only for the day rather than being open normal business hours. The receptionist, Courtney, was very friendly and courteous. I wish I could say the same for the two estheticians who provided services to us. My service provider started complaining almost immediately. Her daughter was waiting outside for her to wrap up since we were "the only appointments they had today." My express facial lasted just 20 minutes and included an exfoliation, masque, and serum application. She did not explain any of the products she was applying nor make recommendations for my skin. What really bothered me is that she just sat there while the exfoliant cream and masque were working, respectively. For $50, I am used to receiving a shoulder, hand, or foot rub while the products are doing their magic. This was my boyfriend's mother's first facial, and I have to say I was embarrassed that this was the "treat" I was giving her. She was moderately more impressed with her service provider, who provided a 25-minute facial and included a lip scrub. We were given express pedicures ($35) without double-checking if that's what we wanted. The view and massage chairs are quite nice in the pedicure room on the 3rd floor. However, if you have mobility issues, do not get your nails done here. The 3rd floor is only accessible via a very narrow circular staircase. The complaining during the quick and dirty pedicures (cuticle work, lotion rub, and polish change) was non-stop. First, they were complaining about working on the holiday and that they almost hadn't answered the phone to come in. Then, they complained about their work schedules and finally about cosmetology school. It turned what could've been a fun bonding experience for me and my boyfriend's mom into an exhausting (though short) experience to be overcome. Spending $170 total (before tip) for 2 express pedicures and 2 express facials with this kind of service was really awful. I will not be returning, and I won't be buying gift certificates for my boyfriend's family, who is local.

My husband and I booked a couple's massage. They girl on the phone had scheduled it for 10 am and…read moretold me that we should arrive at 0930 to fill out paperwork, etc. Well we arrived at the scheduled time and the doors were locked and there was no one in the lot. We looked at the business hours and they didn't open until 10. After sitting in our car for 30 minutes we went inside and from there everything was great. The receptionist said the appointment was at 1030 so there must have been a mistake over the phone. We were seated, offered beverages, and taken back for our massages promptly. The two masseurs were professional and friendly. Tequila and Tom did a great job. I had a prenatal massage and my husband had a swedish massage. Overall we enjoyed ourselves after the initial confusion.

I went in last week with my 9 year old daughter. We were on vacation in Hot Springs and had…read moresearched yelp for nail places close to us, that had positive reviews. I had called the day prior to make an appointment for a gel pedi for me and kids mani/pedi for my daughter. We arrived at our appointment time and the owner was just finishing another customers pedicure. The shop itself is so lovely, and it does not smell like a nail salon. The owner later said that her husband likes to put plug ins around so the place doesn't smell like nails. The only employees we saw were the owners, husband and wife. They had 4 pedi chairs I believe and maybe 2 mani stations. I chose the super deluxe pedi since I was getting gel, I can't remember the actual name but it was the highest prize, and I think my daughters was $25 which is standard for kids services. I haven't had a pedi since before March, maybe even 2019, so her husband started working on my heels, which took him 30 minutes; he did an amazing job. Also, she painted little hearts on my daughters big toes, no additional charge. I was super happy with the service and finished product. I believe we were there about 2 hours, and our total was $105 plus tip. The pricing was exactly what it is at other shops I've been to in MO, pedicures started at $25 and went up from there. Huge color selection. I don't live in the area but I would say if you are on Hot Springs, please give them a call for an appointment. Oh, that was the other thing. They are "by appointment only" right now, which I liked because I didn't want to go to a shop full of people with my daughter. Everyone wore masks the entire time. I didn't get a picture the day of but I just took a picture showing a week after the service. Nails still look awesome! Thanks again, I would go back for sure when visiting Hot Springs, AR!

I thought it was standard for the salon owner to do the brides hair, so I was surprised when seemingly the newest person there was doing my wedding trial. She barely listened to what I wanted, took a 20 minute break to do her friends eyebrows in between, and had to have someone else finish my hair because she couldn't figure out how to bobby pin it. I had only asked for half-up hair with loose curls and I was there for over an hour and a half. But there's more. The person who was supposed to do my makeup was a no-show that day, so instead of telling me they proceeded to try to do my makeup-- a complete disaster. They used my personal makeup because they didn't have anything to match my skin complexion (everything was orange), and the mascara they handed me for me to apply myself was empty. Again, luckily I had my own. They weren't even going to apply lip color until I asked, and they ended up using a random persons lip color that she ran out to her car to get. The most unprofessional salon experience I've ever had. Needless to say, I will not be using them for my wedding after all and would strongly discourage others from using them for anything important.
