Okay, I know I have said this before, but when I find something wonderful, I kind of want to save…read moreit all to myself. Covid has changed that. After watching many businesses fail due to a lack of customers or being forced to close for extended periods of time, I want to support local businesses now more than ever. That being said, I came across The Total Look Salon in Presque Isle. I am working locally for a few months and needed to get in to freshen up my look a bit. Specifically, root touch-up and a trim. Anticipating not being able to get in for weeks, I was pleasantly surprised to hear they had a cancellation, enabling me to go in the same afternoon. My stylist was Myka, and sweet as could be. Having my fair share of horror stories when it comes to my hair, I am always a little nervous when going to someone new. She quickly set my mind at ease, as it was evident she knew her way around her craft. The shampoo and conditioner are not to be missed, as it was the most thorough and exhilarating scalp massage I can recall. It was wonderful. I am seriously considering scheduling weekly appointments just to have my hair washed and my scalp massaged. Myka trimmed my hair just enough without leaving me looking like I'd cut my own hair. The final touch was a beautiful braid as it was an incredibly windy afternoon. The environment of the salon was like a made for tv movie combined with Cheers. The ladies and other stylists were chatting together and even offered to help me find other services since I was new in town. They made sure I didn't leave without having the information I needed. It's been a long time since I have experienced that laid-back, comfortable feeling at a salon. Thank you, Myka. You matched my color perfectly.

I had an apt for an acrylic fill, but before my apt 3 nails had broken. I clearly needed a new set…read more The woman told me she wouldn't have time to do it. Fine, even though she kept me waiting for 15 mins so clearly being on time isn't a priority. I asked if she could remove the acrylic nails and if she knew of a place that did acrylics in the area (I don't live in this area and really needed a mani for the wedding I'm in on Saturday.) She said "I can fit you in in 3-4 weeks or you could try a strip mall." She removed the acrylics then took me to ring me up. Acrylic removal only. No cutting or shaping my real nails. No cuticle trim. No hand lotion. Nothing. I was charged $51.75!!! I have a pedi scheduled with them tomorrow (which I will be canceling) I would rather cut off my own feet then give them another penny.

This is a small salon in Woodstock. My mother and I had gotten pedicures. Hoping to be in the same…read moreroom, we weren't. My nail tech was a very nice girl. But for the price of 40$ a pedicure, mine was done in a tin bowl that you can also make bread in, along with used and weathered nail files (Mothers tech also used old nail files). At the end of the session my mother and I left the salon. My mother was not happy with her service either. When I got home I looked at my toes and the job done was not professional looking at all. The nails were not even completely covered and my polish has chipped already. The part that is bad about the chipped polish is that it is shellac. If I had to put a price on my service today I would have paid 10$. I most likely could have applied the polish better myself. My mother and I got vouchers for free pedicures in the near future. We will not be using these vouchers. Again - my nail tech is a sweet girl.. But would not have my nails done there again.
