    Amazing salt cave
    Stephanie S.

    I have been putting off getting a trim for months since my move to VT. I happened to recently see a Facebook ad for their salt room and saw that they also have numerous services for skin, body, nails and hair. I had to move my appointment due to a scheduling conflict and as I was out of cell range, they were really kind and gracious about doing it via FB messenger. When I arrived today, I was warmly greeted by Jess at the front desk and Sam, the general manager. I was also blown away by the size and aesthetics of the space. It's main area has some comfy seats and cookies while you wait. You're surrounded by beautiful displays of a variety of beauty and hair care products as well as locally made goat's milk soaps and moisturizers. Jess took me in the back to show me the salt cave. It was the most magical salt cave I've ever seen. It's designed to look like an indigenous hut in a warmer climate with a starry ceiling that sparkles. It literally captures the essences of warmth and zen. I saw Mathew tonight for a trim and style. He was very complimentary about my curls and hair length. He listened carefully to what I desired and was very attentive. He was also a great conversationalist, which made the time pass quickly. He gave me some suggestions based on my inquiry for future services. I'm very pleased with the results. The rates are very reasonable. I met the owner Kim and also Rita, one of the head stylists. Both were also very friendly and kind. I'm glad I saw the FB ad and made an appointment. I'll be back to try the salt cave soon!

    A sleek and perfect up-do by Cheryl R. Nov. 2017
    Hayley B.

    I needed a morning up-do appointment for a Saturday wedding and called Purple Sage. They arranged for Cheryl R. to meet with me at 9 am. When I arrived, I was promptly welcomed. The salon itself is gorgeous, very spacious and clean, and offers a great selection of makeup, skin and hair care products. Cheryl R. was friendly, professional, and as it turns out, an up-do ninja. I showed her a few pictures of what I had in mind, and the style she created was better than any of them. The results were simply spectacular--sleek, smooth, and free of visible bobby-pins. The final test? The up-do withstood a long evening of dancing without a problem. I wholeheartedly recommend this salon and especially Cheryl R. Thank you, Purple Sage!

    You don't even want to know what the "before" looked like lol - pardon the lack of makeup. ;)

    YAY !!!!!!! I hadn't had a haircut in over three years- I walked in like a burly lion and walked out like a lamb :) Tracy was awesome! Fun to talk to, calmed my haircut nerves in a heartbeat, I know for sure my new cut will grow out well. She had a kick-ass purple streak in her hair that made me believe we are kismet, as I once had pink streaks of my own. Thanks Tracy !!!! :D

    Purple Sage Magic!

    I am absolutely in love with this salon. The first time I went to Tracy Myers I was a walk in and…read morewas blown away with her talent. She listened to what I wanted and offered suggestions that would better suit my face type and lifestyle. I've been seeing her for years and have never once had a problem. Im a bartender and interact with hundreds of people every week and get compliments on my cut and color daily. She boosts my self confidence everyday by all the love I receive for her hard work. Not only has Tracy nailed every cut and color, she's easy to talk to and gives great advice on everything I go through in my life. I have a great relationship with her and everyone who works at persona. I always feel welcome and love spending my time there with all the great stylists. I take issue with one of the people that have reviewed this salon and Tracy. While I understand that everyone's entitled to their own opinion, this person has left reviews on other establishments and they all read the same. It seems to me that this persons problem isn't with the salon or Tracy but with her own personality. You are not a stylist. I hope that when people read the review left by this person they will take into account all the other trash talk she leaves on other salons. Thank you Tracy for always making me feel amazing.

She colored a full inch of my forehead in addition to my hair, no exaggeration. I walked around like that for a week before it would come off, I looked ridiculous. Natalie looked at herself in the mirror the entire time, including while talking to me. She asked for multiple confirmations across multiple days using phone and email. A bit disruptive and intrusive, particularly given I'm a full grown adult more than capable of managing my own schedule. Worst haircut, color and overall experience of my life save an ill-considered visit to a beauty school years ago. All for the low low price of $200. For that kind of money in what is marketed as a high end salon, please don't require amateur payment methods (Venmo). Trust me, you'd do better with a pair of fiscar scissors and a box of Clairol.

    Do not go here for eyelash extensions…read more There are not a lot of salons in Vermont that do eyelash extensions so when I found All About Hair and saw the starting rate was $95 for a full set, I was excited and made an appointment. However once I got there, and before even sitting down, the stylist told me it would be $200 for a full set. Id understand if she looked at my eyelashes first and then decided to charge $200 but she barely even looked at me before telling me that would be price. I told her that the website has them listed at $95 to start and she just said I wouldn't be able to find anything cheaper than $200 in Chittenden County because of how much time it takes to do them (which is a lie because there are other salons that charge less than that in Chittenden County). She told me maybe I read it wrong because for a fill, it's $95 (which is also a lie, their website has fills listed at $35 to start). Eventually she told me the lowest she could do was $150 and, stupid me, decided to just get them. First of all, there were no style or length options, which is pretty unusual for eyelash extensions. Second, it took her less than 30 minutes to do them (so not sure why she went on about them being that expensive because of how "long it takes to do them"). That's the SHORTEST amount of time it's ever taken me to get a full set. It should take at least an hour, at the MINIMUM. Third, the extensions themselves, were so cheap. In the past when I've had extensions, you're able to (and you're supposed to) brush them with a spoolie tool, however these were so clumpy, that there was no way you could brush them. They felt so low quality and they lasted MAYBE 2 weeks (not that I really wanted to have them any longer). Don't make the mistake I did and go here. I'm not sure how their hair styling is, but their eyelash extensions are terrible.

I've tried many salons throughout the Vermont and New Hampshire area and I always felt like just a number. The last salon pedicure visit to a high reviewed salon in NH took 3 HOURS and left me with tears in my eyes and horrible pain in my toes from having them filed to the point of blood, even with me telling her to stop I've had enough she continued to say "no no 5 more minutes, you're not done yet!"

    Heads up- they have two locations but they use the same phone number. Called from the Yelp link for…read moreking street, so we went to that location but they had booked us at the other location. Luckily, we had rented a car but this could be troublesome if you are using an Uber or Lyft. Staff was friendly. We booked a couples massage and they were able to fit us in same day. One thing I didn't like was they charged us the full amount before the massages, but AFTER said there was a $10 up charge for deep pressure. That should have been communicated since we had already paid before the service. Also, they asked for tips to be paid directly to a personal Venmo account rather than through the business. The massage itself was fine- nothing special or unusual. They do not offer bottled water or wine, as most places do with a couples massage. All in all, it was a good last minute booking. Kiki uses her feet to massage- so if you aren't okay with that be sure to communicate that.

    Not only is $80 before tip for a Brazilian wax outrageous (even for the northeast), but I'd hope…read morethat since the price is this steep they'd AT LEAST get all of the hairs. I was on a trip to Burlington and was in need of a last-minute Brazilian, so I settled on this place because it was the only place I could find an appointment. My waxer, Jenna, was kind, but I left disappointed and quite frankly, felt extremely ripped off after I realized she had not done a thorough job. The hairs that were left behind weren't even too short for the wax to grab ahold of--it was just a lack of attention to detail. I'm pretty upset that I paid over $80 for an incomplete job. ****To elaborate on my one review, I thought I was happy with the wax prior to leaving the establishment. It wasn't until closer inspection once I was in the privacy of my own hotel room, that I realized there were numerous hairs left behind. I also was not asked if I was happy with the wax job at the end. If I had been asked, and if I had noticed the remaining hairs before I left, I would have absolutely said something.
