Hair and makeup is such an important part of not only the brides day but also her bridesmaid. DO…read moreNOT book them. Not only was Angela probably the rudest and worse vibe to be around the day of, her style for hair is stuck in 1980. One of my bridesmaid showed a PONYTAIL with a few curls she gave her a 8 inch bump in her hair and 3 awful pony tails. When my bridesmaid tried to speak up Angela was SO rude and blamed my bridesmaid and "kind of" helped fix it. My entire wedding party re did their hair and makeup at the venue. She has young talented girls that work with her but she refused to let them help with follow up. Her breath reeks. She is incredibly over priced. I cannot believe people book this lady. If you're looking for a 80's throwback party she's your girl. If you're looking to have a good experience before your wedding day you better run the other way. I quite literally want to put in a request to my bank for fraudulent charges bc not a single bridesmaid looked good or deserved the treatment they got from her. Youre horrible at your job.

Had my first appointment at this salon after purchasing a groupon. Making an appointment was easy,…read moreand I had a great experience with Brittany. After discussing my hair goals with her, she suggested a different approach than the service for which I had purchased my groupon. The cost was equivalent, so they took the groupon with no extra fees. Brittany helped me select a color that looked great, and would work best with my hair and I LOVED the cut. I'm not totally sold on the organic dye - it didn't hold its color as well as conventional dye. I don't get my hair colored often but this dye washed out a lot over the next few weeks (I could see the color in the water when I washed my hair), which I've never had happen before. I purchased the shampoo and conditioner which Brittany recommended (to build protein), and after using it for a couple of weeks I switched back to my regular shampoo. I really didn't like the way my hair felt/looked while using their products. Definitely recommend for cuts and style, would recommend their coloring services if organic product is the most important factor to you, and would probably stay away from their hair care products (although YMMV - perhaps they'll work great for you).

I'm so glad I trusted her expertise because the results turned out even better than I imagined.

Lauren is talented, professional, and has a great eye for what will work best for her clients. I highly recommend booking with her!

I had a generally positive experience overall. I have gone to cosmetology schools to get my hair…read moredone for years like 25 years so I know what to expect. The staff and students were friendly, and the check-in/check-out process was easy. The tables at the hair rinse/wash stations were a little different than what I expected, but they were actually a nice setup. I had a full highlight and haircut done. The three students who worked on my highlights were all very kind, and the highlights themselves turned out well. However, the entire appointment took almost 6 hours when quoted 3 hours, which felt very long. During my visit, several students were openly talking about how many hours and days they still needed to make up before graduating in September, which felt somewhat unprofessional to hear as a client. The student doing my service seemed somewhat distracted and unsure at times about certain steps, although the work she completed was done well. There were long waits during the lightening and coloring process, and during those waiting periods no one checked in to see if I needed anything. The haircut portion was not completed by the student assigned to me because she was unsure how to do it, so the instructor, Amy, ended up finishing it. After my color was rinsed out, I still noticed hair dye left on my neck when I left. Toward the end of the appointment, the student was informed she had another client scheduled, and she became very flustered. She told me she could not blow dry my hair because she had another client waiting. By that point, I needed to leave soon anyway, but because the appointment had already run so long, I ended up leaving late and was delayed getting to another place I needed to be. I also understand this is a school and students are learning, which I do respect. However, when students are representing the school and working directly with paying members of the public, I feel there should still be professional standards in appearance and conduct. Clothing such as crop tops and athletic-style mini shorts may be fine among peers in a classroom setting, but it did not seem appropriate while providing services to public clients.

Especially when getting nail treatments I am very particular about cleanliness to avoid infections and Cozy Nails & Spa was definitely up to par. Additionally they had cute decorations throughout and always have entertaining shows on in the background. I got a special set done about a month ago for my birthday but this most recent time I was coming in to get it removed and a normal manicure to let my nails breathe. My nail technician was Chia. She was very kind and did a great job checking in with me and making sure she was doing what I wanted. One of my favorite things about Cozy is that every time I have gone, I make an appointment, and they honor that. Lots of other nail spas will take walk ins even with an appointment on the way and you have to wait to get started 30 minutes past your appointment time. This has never been the case for me at Cozy. Chia did a great job and was done within 45 minutes. The total for gel x removal and manicure was $48. In my three months of coming here, Cozy has - been clean - Provided detailed but still quick service - Honored appointments - Had kind and attentive technicians - Never cut my skin/nailbeds - provided service that I was happy with

Jumping Jimeney! They are the best. I was up here on…read morevacation. Wanted to find a nail place and chose them off of Yelp. When I called with a question, they were very nice and I made an appointment. I am so glad that I did. Tom did my nails. He did a great job! Did a nice job and the cuticles, the length and the shape. Exactly how I like it. When I walked in this was the color I wanted, but they had the color with sparkles. So I got that. If I was up here again I would stop in. I just wish that they were in my neighborhood so they could be my regular to go place. Thanks Tom! You're the best!

I like supporting local businesses. 2. She is also nice! 3. She has incentives for people who are repeat customers. I got frustrated with the last salon I went to because that did not do much to encourage me to go back. Most salons that I've been to have reward programs or discounts for repeating customer. Example 7 waxes get the 8th free or something. Susan offers discounts for certain waxes. 4. She has done the BEST eyebrow wax that I've gotten in Madison. I'm a pretty picky person, and it has taken me over 2 years to finally find someone I trust. I mean come on it's my face! I have the right to be picky. 5. She is good at what she does!

It's a classic salon, but the work these folks do speak volumes. I got a deluxe gel pedicure and I'd say it was an average price point for the area - $60 and $15 extra for gel. I went in blind with cost but I went for convenience as it's 3 minutes from my home, but honestly worth it. My tech was awesome - making sure the gel on my toes was literally perfect. Extra points for this amazing horse art on the wall because that in itself is a VIBE.
