Tip: If you don't want to leave the spa with wet hair, add a blowout appointment right after. Monise greeted me when I walked in and assessed my scalp before heading in to the head spa room. Another tip: Use the restroom before undressing on the table. Without giving anything away or take away from your experience, it was so relaxing and serene. The soft instrumental music playing in the background, breathing in the lavender, the additional neck and shoulder massage - wow. Booking your appointment via the Vagaro app is easy. You can always call them too if you have any questions. I will definitely be making this my go-to spot for when I need a self-care or "me" day.

***UPDATE*** The "Manager" from Spa Bar just called me 4…read moretimes in a row!!! I picked up the first time. She sounded young, difficult to understand, but she asked angrily what my problem was... said she called me 2 years ago & that she had resolved this for me. She did not resolve anything for me, & did not make me feel any better, not then, definitely not now. She wanted to pinpoint when exactly I had my Brazilian waxing done. I wasn't going to be interrogated, harassed, or gaslit. I told her that I've been there more than once, & I don't appreciate her calling to argue with me. I am entitled to an honest review of my experience & my feelings concerning it. She sounded argumentative wanting to argue the exact date & what happened, saying she had video proof. I told her that I've been there more than once, & left the room at different times & there is nothing to argue about. She has never cared about my feelings & experience there. The Brazilian waxing covers a delicate area, you need to trust the place you go to, and this Manager woman just makes the whole experience so much worse for me. I should have never given this place my business in the past, should've stayed at a better sugaring place in Oviedo which was honestly so extremely sweet, kind, caring, & patient. I even bought a nicely scented exfoliant from the previous sugaring place. Less painful overall also because that other place in Oviedo, FL was so much more caring and professional, protecting my dignity & privacy. Spa Bar is not trustworthy, just in MY OPINION, and they continue to disrespect me, harsh on the phone! Really bad energy there, horrible to this day... I don't like being intimidated or gaslit. I am taking another star off, down to 1 star from 2 stars last night. Now she sent me a long text, & the last part of the text is, "After reviewing the actual footage, if you still believe otherwise, then I will forward this to my attorney who will follow up with you regarding your false accusations." My review that I wrote last night: I got a Brazilian wax here, and was very nervous. The young woman was nice and let me talk nervously as I was being waxed. It hurt at times and she couldn't calm me down or make me feel better like a previous place would. It was sort of a cold environment emotionally. I quickly went to the ladies room, and saw a front desk person with her neck pressed up against the wall right where I had been laying listening to my room. I was shocked when I saw her and felt like my privacy had completely been violated. That was completely unfair. I complained to management when a woman called me, and nothing was done. Unprofessional. That was the last time I went there. I had seen high schoolers there getting their hair blown out or put up for a dance.

The ladies here are very nice and easy/fun to talk to. It caught my eye as I was on my way to…read moreanother shop. I stopped in and scheduled and appointment for a lash enhancement. I have been wanting (semi) permanent eyeliner for years and was really excited to finally get it done. The procedure itself was virtually painless. There were only a couple of times on the lower lids that it felt pokey. Otherwise it was fine and just felt like someone was moving my lashes around. I followed the care instructions to the letter but when it was time for the touch-up (included in the price to even out anything that healed wonky) there was nothing there. I looked as though I never had the procedure done. For a few days after the procedure I woke up looking like I had slept with mascara on. I sleep on my back so this wasn't a pillow rubbing or anything. They told me it sometimes happen and that we would try again and I would still be able to get the touch up later at no additional charge. So, we tried again. My technician asked for assistance from another towards the end and they adjusted the needle depth. The upper lid felt the same as the first time but the lower lid was considerably more uncomfortable toward the outer corners. The lines looked different than the first time and I did not experience any "smudging" this time. I was very excited and hopeful for success. Unfortunately, it still didn't hold. When I went back in to see what could be done and if I could get my money back and I was told no that there are no guarantees and no refunds. My paperwork does say there are no guarantees but no where does it suggest that I might end up walking away with nothing. It talks about swelling, bruising, pigment irregularity and fading (in spots or over time), lash loss, corneal abrasion and infection but not one word about it not staying at all. In the end, they offered me a facial as a consolation which, I suppose, is better than nothing. Be aware that this is possible before you sign on the dotted line and put your money down. What are percentages? Idk...but know that it is possible and it does not matter if you are light or dark skinned. All that said, I am very much looking forward to my facial. :)

The place smells straight like chemicals. In the front there's only one guy doing nails, then as…read moreyou get further in or to the other door there's more techs. The place is dirty- dust, debris, nails all on the counter. Standard file, soak, file soak. Took maybe 20mins. After she filed, buffed, and clipped my cuticles. She never instructed me to wash my hands from all the acetone soak, or nail debris just put cuticle oil on top of all that. Then had the audacity to charge $35. I said fine because I needed those nails off but really. I don't mind paying $35 if you had me wash that stuff off my hand, warm towels, cuticle oil, then hand massage with lotion (like the good old days). Then I would have been like ok it's about the experience. Only positive was the tech was nice- but really that's a bare minimum.

I had an extremely disappointing experience at InStyle Salon. I went in for full highlights, but…read morethe results were chunky, uneven, and the highlights started 1-3 inches away from my scalp. When I reached out to have it fixed, the stylist (Jessica) attempted a "root touch-up," which only made things worse--the top half of my hair ended up a completely different color from the bottom, with strong orange tones. When I contacted the salon again, the director (Lisa Reule) was unapologetic and only offered for me to return a third time so they could "fix" it. At that point, I had lost all confidence in their ability and went to Mosaic Salon instead, where they were able to repair the damage. Mosaic has always done beautiful work for me, and this experience reminded me it's worth the extra drive to go somewhere with real expertise. I do not recommend InStyle Salon, but I highly recommend Mosaic for professional, consistent results.

This is how i got TWO no call, no shows ON THE SAME DAY…read more I've been going to EWC for years. Never had a no call, no show (their policy is 3 nc, ns) and I respect this policy. EARLY this morning, like 4/5 a.m., i booked an appointment and it did not confirmed on app, so i booked another, and it was sent to my junk mail (that i didn't see). They did not text me a confirmation when they opened. And, hear me out, i can take accountability, I should've checked my email and whatnot, so that's my bad and i'm sorry. BUT, they sent me a text at 12:30 p.m. and said i had NC, NS my 2:30!! p.m. appointment. So, i just figured it was cancelled and didn't go. THEN, at 2:30!! it said i missed ANOTHER appointment. I called, front lady was very nice, trying to get it cleared up. I had obviously made a mistake booking the same service two times for the same day, and i've never caused problems in the YEARS i've been going. But, they're sticking to their original statements saying i no called, no showed. So, i'm cancelling my wax pass and moving on. I wish there was something i could have done to make it better, but if you can't/won't help a loyal customer then i'll go elsewhere.

I went to different girls each time. The first time was with someone named Alexandra, this was my least favorite experience. She didn't even trim my eyebrow hair SMH. She just got straight to waxing even though I told her this was my first wax ever and I didn't know what to expect. On the website, it says that their 26$ eyebrow wax (outrageous price for a 5 min service BTW) includes shaping, and a consultation. Not once have I gone in there and they shaped my eyebrows, or even ask what I wanted!!!! All they do is quickly clean them up, no shaping involved. On the website it also says that it also includes filling in the brows-- none of that is offered either. Not to mention the fact that each time I left I had to come home and pluck a few stray hairs that they missed. For a $30 service, that is beyond insane. Do not come here. Seriously. Save your money. Very disappointed.

Honesty, quality and Amanda's genuine personality is what has made me a repeat customer. Initially, I went to see her for a lash lift and tint. I know my lashes were not as long as others but I wanted that volume. When I arrived to my appt, Amanda assessed my lashes and was honest to saying that they weren't long enough and to use this lash serum she had for 3 months. I had been using a lash serum from Sephora but was willing to try a new product. Over the 3 months, I can tell and have seem new growth in my lashes and on my lash line. I made another appt and the growth is noticeable but for the best results I will continue for another 3 months. I was really skeptical but serum does work!!! She wanted me to be happy with my service results so we waited. No one likes to have services done with unmet expectations. Her honesty is what keeps me coming back. She doesn't try to up sell me on things I don't need and she takes the time to personalize what treatments she thinks would work best, as everyone is different. I've had dermaplaning done and my face was immediately brighter and my makeup goes on like butter. She's also removed some freckles off my face and the equipment she uses is top quality and her place is really clean. I trust her fully with all of my facial needs! Thanks, Amanda!!
