I'm not a big consumer of beauty product (high end or otherwise) and really wasn't sure what I needed/wanted but came away set up for sucess with my new skin and make-up regimen. I have to say I LOVE this product (Shiseido) and am a convert. While it is expensive, I'm using less product with better results. There is plenty of parking, but it can get a little tight on the weekends and evenings when the adjoining businesses are busier.

If you want baby soft skin and radiance, book your life changing facial with Michael at the Blue…read moreMercury @ Rio. After one hour in Michael's most capable hands my face felt rejuvenated and no longer tired, ashy or puffy. I was seriously contemplating not going to my LA Mer facial on Mothers Day. I had a lot of other things to do. But my daughter was not having it. She insisted I keep my appointment. And was I ever happy that I did. It was no ordinary facial. It started wit a calming rosewood balm to remove the makeup and other impurities n continued with exfoliation, mask, blackhead removal and all accomplished using the yummy La Mer products. What made this facial different than all of the other facials that I had was the reflexology massage done on my hands arms and shoulders. It was sheer bliss. What ever Michael did, it not only de-puff my eye bags but seem to de-puff my entire body. The La Mer beauty products helped too I'm sure. It's now 24 hours later and I'm still make up free, and my eye bags are still gone. My face feels silky smooth, no bumps and my enlarge pores are non existent. Overall, my face has a nice glow that has not been seen since my 20s. I'm 52 and after this rejuvenating facial feel and look decades younger. I will definitely come again and tell all my girlfriends to come book a facial at Blue Mercury with Michael.

I typically prefer going to the Pike & Rose or The Mall locations. However, today my daughters needed to run in and I decided to stop by despite my usual experience. I want to take a moment to acknowledge one of the sales associates, Ashley. After three other associates walked past us without engaging, Ashley came over, greeted us warmly, and made us feel welcome. Her kindness and personal attention really stood out and made our visit enjoyable. This isn't meant as a complaint about the location overall, just a shout-out to Ashley for going above and beyond. Thank you for making our experience special.

I didn't feel confident in him touching my face or choosing Foundation. I'll never ever shop here again. I ran over to cvs and picked a few foundations.

The lady behind the wig counter was tidying up and asked if I needed help finding anything. She was pleasant, smiled and was welcoming. I am very indecisive so I was taking pictures of everything I liked, so I took a lot of pictures. Nobody bothered disturbed my shopping experience. When I checked out, I did ask for the colored gel for the roots and the the young lady at the check-out said they were all out. She did not try to look any further to see if it was someplace else. After walking around, I found a whole rack of the gels with colors and I showed her and she just giggled because she was clueless. Bottom line, this place has tons of hairstyling products and hair as well for braids, crochet, wigs, quick-weaves, everything and all textures and colors.

Also, the prices have gone up and products I can find elsewhere for a few dollars cheaper. At first I was impressed with their product supply and though customer service wasn't helpful, it wasn't particularly offensive. The last few times I've been in there, there has been an armed guard which IS outrageous and offensive! A whole store selling as its sole revenue stream Black hair care products but yet hires an armed guard with a bulletproof vest and tactical gear looking like a paratrooper to patrol patrons.. The audacity and disrespect is outrageous!!! Other reviewers who commented on being followed are absolutely correct. This has now happened to me two times. Today the products I needed were right up front, a few feet away from the front door. This armed guard who was posted at the front entrance had the nerve to leave his "post" to come to where I was to monitor me. I was outraged! I will not return and will tell anyone to avoid this place.

Yes, the place is small and filled to the brim with stuff. Yes, there are things everywhere, but we happened to find many more (wig) options here than at Beauty4U and the lady even told us she had the wigs in other colors. We found two wigs we liked (one synthetic and one real human hair) for $45. I realize that the store catered more towards African-American hair, but I was able to get a large hair brush for $3.99 and a men's comb for $0.99. Overall, great place to pop in if you are in a bind and in the area!

If anyone is contemplating plastic surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Vincent and his team. Personally I will be returning for other needed surgery in the coming new year. I can't thank Dr. Vincent and his highly skilled team enough for my surgery and its outcome.

As I told Kimi... "I think I'm at the point in a Gay man's life where he becomes an amateur…read morecolorist" I decided it was a good time to start dying my own hair... cause I had it done a couple of times in the past month or so and that... well that B is expensive So I started watching YouTube tutorials on how to dye one's own hair and almost all of the stylists were saying not to use boxed dyes. So then I went to the internet machine to do regular searches on just that... and they confirmed the YouTube peoples opinions. So how does one dye like a professional stylist. You gotta get professional products Specifically - developer - permanent hair dye -... and booster ? Also a bowl and a brush and gloves if you don't have them. So I went to the Sally's in Tyson's area and they were out of the specific color I wanted in the dye brand I wanted. Professional hair dye is rated on a 1-10 scale. 1 being the darkest and 10 being the lightest. I was going for darker My hairstylist dyed my hair a 5... but all hair dye apparently lightens after a month or so. So I liked it a lot when it was just dyed... but then it faded to a lighter color which I didn't like as much. In any event. I went with a mix of a 4nn, 5nn, and a developer. I opted for the more natural hair dye called Inspired by nature. It was without ammonia. Apparently the nn means it penetrates the hair follicle a bit more. And the developer I used was a 20 level. So... I dyed it myself last night... Shockingly after about 20 minutes of the hair dye in... my hair was turning pretty darn dark. And also this tar like substance start appearing on my scalp.... I think I put in too much dye. Like I said... "amateur colorist". So then I freaked out and washed it out immediately. Hoping I just didn't dye my entire scalp dark dark brown. Lucky me! It worked! And it worked well. Big reveal at the Yelpies tomorrow ;) In any event, I gave this Sally's 5 stars cause the woman there was the most helpful ever. She asked if I needed any help and I instinctively was like... no I'm good... and then I was like... actually one question. Then I asked that question followed up by another... by another... by another. I was like... I must seem crazy cause I just said I didn't need any help... yet I needed ALL the help. The woman had short pinkish hair and was so pleasant and ready to assist. I even asked her about the sample pieces of hair they had and her opinion on dying my hair - mix of 4 and 5 or just 4. I was thinking just 4 and she like my hairstylist agreed it should be a mix ... or like a 4.5. Would go back here. Would seek her help again. Definitely a great customer experience all around.
