Parking was surprisingly easy and convenient. We made the appointment online and it started on time and with our preselected hair dresser. The general salon and waiting area was a bit too loud for my daughter but when she went to get her hair washed, we noticed a "Quiet waiting area"!! I love this fact, especially for my child who is autistic. My daughter loved the hair massage as her hair was prepped for cutting. The hairdresser was calm, friendly and really listened to what we wanted. She was great at matching the pictures that we brought for examples. We will be back and I think I will also try them for my own curly hair.

For the first time as an adult I decided to chop off several inches for a "reset" and I was so nervous. But I trust this place because I've been a client since 2017 and they've never let me down. The people who work here genuinely care about me. I remember my first visit, they offered me an array of teas and ensured I was well accommodated while I waited. The space is spacious. Doesn't feel like everyone is on top of one another. Everyone is nice. The energy is welcoming and warm. Kinda feels like a home actually now that I think about it.

I had yearbook photos at Tulane the next morning so I just needed something to make it look better. I didn't really know what I wanted, but she took the time to talk everything through with me, listened, and made me feel really comfortable. I ended up trusting her to take the lead and she completely delivered. She reshaped everything into a more feminine, balanced look that actually frames my face so much better. I walked out feeling so much more confident and honestly just really happy with my hair again. Nicole is amazing -- you can tell she really cares and knows what she's doing. I'm so glad I found her

I went to Ally Bally and asked for a simple cut and face framing color-something I've asked for many times at other salons and always been happy with the result. Not rocket science. Not only did she give me the absolute worst cut and color of my entire life (very noticeably uneven length and bright yellow streaks near my face while the rest of my hair is light brown), she also made me feel very uncomfortable. She asked me where I'm from originally and then proceeded to say offensive things about my home state. All while joking around very unprofessionally with her coworkers. Please save your money and support another business.

My schedule is so busy I barely manage to make it to Great Clips for a haircut. On vacation, I finally had some time to get a decent haircut. My hair was desperate for some styling.

Highly recommended.

Because of the price, quality, and initial experience, I wouldn't return unfortunately.

The reception team was absolutely amazing and fantastic. The massage therapist herself is why I rated it two stars. This was probably the worst massage I've ever had. She was nice but I'm not sure she's experienced or was not happy with a 24 hour notice for a massage. Her hands were calloused and rough. She kept whispering to herself the entire time. That was interesting and distracting. She didn't focus on getting the knots out. I have had plenty of massages and know my stuff. This therapist didn't introduce herself so not sure who I had but it wasn't great. I know she could feel the knots as she would hesitate and then move on. Pretty disappointed in my experience. The reception staff was the best.

It is not very big overall, has narrow hallways and small rooms. When you first get in there's waiting area with small sectional and a chair, it's nicely decorated, there's water fountain in the back so you can hear water bubbling. After we checked in we sat down to fill out the paperwork and were offered strawberry infused water that came in plastic cups. In a few mins two ladies in bathrobes joined us in the sitting area to wait for their service too. It was a bit weird that they do not have second area for clients that are changed into bathrobes and in between services to wait in privacy. I booked 60min massage and my technician was Emmy. She was very good, professional and always checking if pressure was right! I would definitely go back to see her. She listened to what I said and which area I would like her to focus on and I think I got one of the best foot massages so far. Room I had my massage in was rather small, had scarce decoration but I really liked satin sheets they have on their beds.
