I was in recently and had a very good facial and pedicure. I did find it odd to not have a change room area and be offered a bathrobe. My friends who were with me had a similar experience except for one - her massage was subpar even after telling her therapist of her problem areas and asking for firm pressure during her treatment. She even asked mid-treatment for more pressure and did not receive it. Overall we enjoyed it the experience and I would recommend them. read more

This was my second time to Dolce Bella for a full day of spa treatments. I would rate their facial as the best I have ever had. The manicure and pedicure combined with paraffin is very heaven. The RMT was very adept at soothing the knots in my aching shoulders. I loved the look of my hair after the wash and blowout!! Lunch was fabulous. The attention to detail on every service is amazing. I found the staff attentive and chatty if I wished to chat or quiet when I preferred silence. Dolce Bella even takes Way Spa gift cards!! I will definitely be back! read more

I was so excited when I received a gift certificate for a manni, peddie and blow-dry at Dolce Bella. Although I hadn't heard much about it, the pictures on the Internet looked beautiful and I was looking forward to a great time. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. The reception staff were extremely rude; they ignored me for the first 15 minutes while they discussed another client's weight issues (the client was still in the spa!!), and when I finally got their attention they informed me I had arrived a half hour too early. Im certain this was not the case because I drop my daughter off at day care every day at the same time, so would have made the appointment accordingly. While I understand that mistakes happen, I was shocked that the receptionist was trying to blame me, going so far as to calling me disorganized! Anyway,she waited another 10 minutes before calling my esthetician. The manicure went fine, but during the pedicure, she removed so much dry skin from my soles that I actually bled! Throughout the process, I requested that we stop but she insisted it would feel better when it was done. When I began bleeding, she simply said that my feet were too sensitive! I have a pedicure about once a month and I have never, ever bled. To make matters worse, she wiped her station with the same towel she wiped my feet with! The wash and blow dry went ok, but the entire day really ruined even that for me. I could hear the reception staff talking about the me the entire time. I had never been so embarrassed or appalled at the unprofessionalism (not to mention unhygienic) behavior in a spa. Im an avid spa goer and Ive never had a problem at any others. I must say, this was a horrible, horrible experience for me and I wont be returning there soon! read more

The tech was friendly and the atmosphere seemed pleasant, and clean however, the inexperience of…read morethe tech is why I would not recommend or return. I went in for a simple gel polish removal - I was horrified when I left and ended up rushing out. I had thick gel polish on my nails and knew the removal may take some time, but I was burned with the Dremel and now have a small hole in one nail where it burned. I continued on with the service as the tech was very nice and accidents happen, I asked her if she could cut the length off of my nails, since they were weak after having polish on, and I have never had such an awkward nail trim with no regard to shape. She then cut me with the nail clippers on my thumb, leaving a small open sore, and tiny bit of blood. There was some polish still on the nail, and she tried to pry and push it off with a metal straight edge tool, which immediately started peeling off a thin layer of the nail with it, I asked her to stop and left. I paid over $30 for the service, and feel completely ripped off. I spent another 30 minutes in my car trying to gently file off the remaining polish and shape my nail into something that looked remotely ok. I will still have to apply my own nail hardener when I get home, which in most places I have been to is included with the service. I am certain the other staff member present heard me call out twice in pain when the Dremel burned and when she took skin with the clippers - I most definitely will not return, how could I trust them, when a basic service felt traumatic.

I have never posted to a review site before, but after my experience with the eyelash extensions…read morethat were applied at Cher-Mere, I wanted to warn anyone thinking of purchasing lashes at this salon to proceed with caution. I get eyelash extensions relatively frequently but had not had a set in approximately 6 months when I visited Cher-Mere in November 2017. My natural lashes were long and healthy at the time. When I am in Kingston, I always go to one particular salon to get my lashes done, but they were fully booked and I had needed a last-minute appointment. I decided to try Cher-Mere for lashes instead, as they appeared to be reputable and used a good lash product. The application process was more painful than what I am accustomed to from other salons, with an excessive amount of burning and stinging, however the young woman appeared to be working slowly and methodically so I did not think too much of it at the time. Immediately after the application, I noticed that my eyes were in more pain than I had ever experienced after an application... in fact I had never had a feeling of "pain" in my lashes/lash-line afterwards at all. The lashes did look wonderful but remained uncomfortable, even for a veteran lash-wearer like myself. I only started to worry when, rather than falling out naturally after a few weeks, these lashes held fast to my eyes. In the 4 weeks the lashes remained on my eyes, there was minimal loss of lashes, but the few that I did lose came out with entire chunks of my natural lashes. I finally got the lashes removed after 4 weeks at a specialized lash beauty bar in my hometown, where the aesthetician was absolutely horrified. Rather than apply one synthetic lash to each natural lash, there had been massive chunks of glue and multiple synthetic lashes on each delicate natural lash, the weight of which had essentially pulled the natural lashes out of my skin. The only thing holding everything in place for the 4 weeks was the massive amount of glue that had been used. The lash removal took a full hour instead of a standard 25-30 minutes, and I have been left with absolutely no lashes, something that I have never experienced in the MANY times I have gotten lash extensions. Obviously, I am horrified. Lesson Learned: It may seem wonderful to have lashes that stay on for an entire month without any falling out, but there is a reason why this never happened with other lash applications at different salons. I highly recommend not getting lash extensions from this salon.

I had a beautiful day spa adventure at Dolce Bella yesterday. Anyone who says anything bad about this place it's probably not a very nice person. Every staff member is exceptional that I encountered. Serenity and calm exude confidence and delight The senses to bring about a transformation over the course of the day. I experienced the full package of a facial, an hour long massage, lunch from the River Mill (I ordered the scallops and the wagu burger), Manicure and pedicure. Transitioning between attendants Was flawless. each person specialize in their ability and had very good demeanors. I feel sorry for some of them and having to deal with some very difficult customers in the Kingston area and I know that each of them would always do their best to ensure the best experience but with some patrons, somebody's best effort is never good enough. I think a person like that is just really sad inside. if you are a good person, this is the place for you. If you are a bad person, you're just gonna bring everybody down around you everywhere you go so doesn't matter. After my experience I am completely exhilarated and re-invigorated. Last year I weighed 400 pounds and this year I am now 115 pounds less. As a treat I went to the spa for my milestone and despite how expensive this kind of thing can be, I really feel like it was worth every penny and even more. i'm not really a big tipper but I left a big tip to let them know that they really made my day and really made my year so far. The level of product knowledge that these folks have is higher than I have seen in my past by quite a bit. They have incredible products that you can buy but they don't pressure you... They just tell you what they know and if you want to buy something you buy it. I really like that kind of customer service and reception was very good at their job as well. Each time I would go to take a cigarette, they greeted me warmly and took my jacket and pampered me every step of the way. There are a lot of providers of this kind of service elsewhere in Kingston but everybody is always rushing. At this place, nobody rushes you unless you're really dragging... But I was so excited with each new procedure that I just went from one to the other and the day pass so quickly. while I was a little tired at the end, I went home and slept like a baby. I woke up fully invigorated with the products that I bought and started to use them for the first time. Each product was absolutely exceptional. Once in a while I'm going to go back here but the cost for this kind of thing for me makes it slightly difficult but again worth every penny and more. So for all of my special occasions, I will be booking again and again. What I really liked was how much fun each person was to chat with and how their energy was like really calm and fun and just so relaxing. Perfect score. read more

I have been going to Dolce Bella for 3 years, and must say they consistently offer greatl service. As a rock climber, my back is often kinked or sore. For this reason I go to Dolce Bella primarily for their massages. Laurie is great, and remembers which areas I usually have the most problems with. I always leave feeling relieved. Last week I had a wedding to attend, so ihad a mani and a pedi done. They were nice and gentle but effective. Being a climber I have many calluses on my hands, and the scrubs the woman used on me left them feeling soft and smooth. Dolce Bella is definitely a great spa. read more
