I waited a couple of months for the bad dye job to grow out and then made an appointment with the owner of Shear Style, Joyce, based on good reviews online. Joyce gave me a super short, super cute pixie and figures one or two more haircuts and the bad dye job will just be a bad memory. I love the haircut and even like looking a little punk with the two tone pixie! Excellent service, clean and nicely decorated salon, reasonably priced. So happy to find my new go-to salon and hair cutter in Ithaca!

Do not get laser hair removal here, it is both over priced and needlessly painful. Previously back…read morehome I was getting lasering on my face and neck for $40 per treatment. There was slight to no pain, it was over in 1-2 mins and any inflammation disappeared by the end of the day. It was gorgeous, clean, and knowledgeable while this looked like somewhere I'd get a regretful back tattoo. On the topic of tattoos, I have plenty, on my arms, back, collar bone, and not a single one of those compared to the pain I felt here. As a matter of fact even breaking my leg or toe and walking / running on them was more bearable than this. The only pain worse than this was when my appendix ruptured. Regardless I sucked it up, and dealt with the pain (and smell of my burned face which is a uniquely awful and disgusting smell btw). There was apparently no way to turn down the Candella settings or she simply didn't care. When I finished there was definitely a moment of shock on her face, perhaps at the fact that I looked like I'd had acid poured on my skin. She sprayed some sunscreen on (which burned and also not a single spray spf is FDA approved in the United States because they mostly don't offer full or completely needed spf coverage). I paid and was sent on my merry way. It cost $215.00 not including tip... $215.00 for the worst pain imaginable. The best part, is this is simply the precursor to the fact that now 5 days later my face is STILL erupting in red, swollen cystic acne and burns, with no signs of slowing down. I'm Asian, so I also know my skin if it does ever heal will be covered in dark marks / spots (post inflammatory hyper pigmentation) that I will then have to spend $100's-$1000's of dollars to get rid of either through more treatments OR topical products. Every other Derm and Esthi I have talked to / facetimed to show the now lunar landscape that is my face has an audible gasp and cringe. I used to have good skin, my job involves me being on camera, and now my face is so screwed up I have barely left my house in 5 days, and am embarrassed to be around any other human being. As someone who had previously gotten FIVE rounds of laser and never had a problem, this is a particularly awful experience, and now I am forced to deal with intense pain, and semi-permanent scarring. Do Not Get Laser here, I promise you the pain is not worth it, at all. PS: I'd just like to throw in stop trying to sell people the coffee scrub too, the claims made about it on the website aren't even scientifically or biologically possible... No activated charcoal does not "make your pores smaller" (that's actually physically impossible!) nor does it "suck out dirt or toxins" re: There is "little to no" evidence to substantiate the claims skincare companies are making, according to a July 2019 article by researchers at the University of Miami. Beyond that, they write, the use of activated charcoal in skincare products is unregulated. Because these products don't claim to treat or cure a diagnosable medical condition, the FDA isn't forced to regulate what goes in them or how else they advertise themselves. - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0738081X19301361 Further claiming it can help cellulite is also a BS claim, the only scientifically proven procedures involve lasers, liposuctions, or cryofreezing application. "No over-the-counter remedy has been shown to be effective in treating cellulite. That includes creams marketed to cure cellulite that have ingredients such as caffeine, antioxidants and herbal supplements," -- Dr. Dawn Davis, Dermatology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota Maybe I'm the idiot for not doing my due diligence, and reading reviews vs seeing a website chockfull of pseudo science, but either way I cannot express emphatically enough how horrible this experience has been. If you have scars (which if you go here you most likely will) a scrub wont fix your face, at least not the coffee scrub in a plastic bag. Alpha Hydroxy, Beta Hydroxy, or Poly Hydroxy acids, Vitamin C, or topical Retinoids are your best bet.

The decor is modern and adorable, the staff is super warm and friendly, and there are always some healthy snacks and tea/coffee. Rachel is the absolute best! She is friendly, does a great job, and makes you feel very comfortable. I have gone to other salons in other cities as well and Proper Puss is my favorite and a much needed addition in Ithaca. Prices are reasonable and comparable to those in other areas and the staff is very fair.

He took on my request to go low to mid fade, blended naturally into the temples, keep 1.5 to 2 inches on top with texture, layer the top for movement, style forward and slightly to the side, and blend the gray naturally, no harsh lines. The cut came out perfectly. He, also, framed and used a straight razor on my beard to flow into the new cut. If you are looking for a barber that is easy to chat with and highly skilled, go to Nolan.

For one Julie has an amazing personality and a great staff. She makes you feel welcomed and the center of the universe. The hair washing or scalp massage you get in the beginning I dare you not to fall asleep. It is incredibly relaxing. And Julie came up with a style that accentuates my jaw line and the natural waves in my hair. So here I am a year later and I needed a haircut. I go to Julie and once again I leave there on top of the world feeling and looking like a million bucks. I will never trust my hair to anyone else. Best place in Ithaca.

Christina was able to take the information I provided her and use that with her intuitive touch to help ease the tension and release the pressure I was feeling in my knees and hips. She is very professional and continued to ask if her pressure was ok as she noticed the way my body reacted to her touch. I highly recommend working with Christina when it comes to any sort of muscle pain or just to relax. Great strength in her hands with pressure and focuses on your areas of need.
