I recently got married in Ithaca NY and this is where my bridal party got their hair and makeup…read moredone. We had a pretty early wedding (at 11am) and needed to get 8 of us through hair and makeup so we had to find a place that would start at 7am! Some sleuthing led us to Hair Etc (another option was Transfomations but they were a bit out of our price range) and we're so happy with the service we received. In my bridal party we had a number of girls waiver on the amount of services they wanted (mostly wanting to add makeup/upgrade to updos) and Bridget was wonderful about working with me to make sure we had enough stylists there to accommodate everyone. Bridget was responsible for both my updo and my sister's updo as my maid of honor. There were both awesome curly updos just as we requested and we received many compliments throughout the day! They also withstood hours of dancing at the reception (and when I say dancing this includes lots of rocking to Springsteen). It may have taken 40 minutes to take my hair our, but it was totally worth it for a hairdo that could withstand over 12 hours of wedding festivities. In general my bridal party tends not to wear a lot of makeup, so we did need to request a more natural look for some of the bridesmaids and myself (the default was to a more heavily defined eye), but they were good at encouraging us to go a little further with the makeup (with the help of our photographer) and I was really happy with the results! They really let us take over the salon that morning, even setting up a table for us to have coffee and scones laid out for breakfast. Towards the end of our primping there were a few other customers, so it wasn't fully private, but they did make sure to have us completely done and out of there by 10am to head up to the chapel. I would definitely recommend Hair Etc to any bride in the Ithaca area looking for affordable quality service!

Please note: my review is strictly for the massage therapist there, Amy Marshall. She was…read morefabulous, much more professional and soothing and into her work than I'm used to getting at a salon that has multiple services and isn't a "spa". Very affordable, sweet, and experienced! I will definitely go see her again. My hour massage was actually an hour (actually she went over and it was 65 minutes), vs the normal 50 minutes, and I got there early and she soaked my feet for free. It was $60 before tip. But she did say she was raising prices soon. only cash or check for her though--I guess she's paid separately from the salon. (ps. this place is now on cayuga st not on Hanshaw like yelp says!)

This is my initial review based on my experience and visit. I feel like I will need to write a…read moresupplemental review after a period of time, as that is what I was told it will take to see results. The facility is very clean and inviting. The staff is friendly. Heather performed skin tightening laser treatment. I have recently been diagnosed with rosacea and she focused on the areas where I am starting to see some redness. She was very friendly and attentive. Since I have never had this performed anywhere before, I really have no baseline to compare it to. She could have been super thorough or not nearly thorough enough and I would have no clue! She initially cleaned my face, applied the laser and then a tightening mask. The whole process was approximately one hour. I was told that the collagen production doesn't increase for 3 weeks and it takes 3 sessions to see results. Stay tuned on results but experience-wise, it was good.

I'm not sure which of the solutions the girl got in my eyes, but they stung for a day after, and my lashes were straight as a board.

Beware. This salon uses counterfeit devices. I bought a package of Emsculpt treatments (advertised…read moreas "Emsculpt") but the machine did not look or feel like an Emsculpt treatment and left me with a burn. When I inquired into the authenticity of the machine, I was told it was actually different, cheaper product from a different manufacturer. The owner, Natalie, was aggressive, rude, mocking, and insisted she had a right to use a copyrighted name for a fake product (!). This is just ridiculous: if I bought a Chanel handbag and found out it was a fake, I would have the right to return it. If I went to a pharmacy and the pharmacist had swapped out Tylenol for Advil, they would be horrified and apologetic. The owner broke multiple laws, including theft of intellectual property and false advertising. She is currently being investigated by the state and the owners of Emsculpt. I have friends who work in the aesthetics industry and they always say do your research before choosing a med spa. These machines can really hurt you and it's clear that Natalie does not care about safety or consumer satisfaction. She is a dangerous. and irresponsible liar. The salon is also dirty and dingy looking. (On a positive note, the technician Drea was great, professional, and friendly. I've encountered her at other salons and hope she finds employment elsewhere. If Natalie treats her customers so badly, I can only imagine how poorly she must treat her employees).
