First off, I love a bit of cultural sass, so I already knew I was going to get some attitude for walking back in and asking them to fix the absolute tragedy they put on my hands. second, I heard Mary was good but obvs she had no openings. I took whoever was available. Big mistake. To preface: I'm visiting family in town and typically do my own Gel-X nails at home, and my cousin is a nail tech...so I know proper protocol and was just going in for a quick, fresh gel polish appointment. No extensions, no frills, just simple polish. Here's the rub: The first tech finished the entire "manicure" in under 40 minutes. At first, I was like, "Omg great, that was so fast!" Then I got outside into the blazing sun. These puppies looked like I'd been surviving in the wilderness for two weeks. The polish was a good 1/4 inch away from my cuticles, and the sides were completely flooded with sparkles and polish on my skin (which they just casually cured under the lamp instead of wiping up). I haaaaaate confrontation but I went back in and showed them the mess. One tech looked me dead in the eye and told me I was "just complaining." That pissed me off. Uh, yes, ma'am, I am! Look at it! I wasn't even trying to embarrass anyone, but she said the first tech stayed so far away from the cuticle to "prevent flooding and damage" like she was doing me a favor. Proper prep work and pushing cuticles back is Day 1 of nail school. The entire reason we pay professionals is so our nails don't look like a Walmart DIY project gone wrong. I literally walked out of your door 5 minutes ago and my hands already look like they need a fill. I would have happily taken a refund for the 40 minutes we both wasted, but instead, the other tech sat me down, buffed them off, and started redoing them--using my hands as a live, emergency tutorial to teach her coworker how to actually paint a nail and do cuticle work. She explained to her a few times how to do cuticles. Which was great, because I've been a beginner too, so I get it. But I was already pissed off for being called a complainer. Look, I'm all for a learning experience and no shame at all to these ladies besides doing work that isn't good quality and sassing me. I was once a young cosmetologist myself (now I'm an old one ), so I remember the youngling salon days. But do NOT get sassy with me and act like I'm crazy for your salon's terrible work. And the grand finale? The second tech's "expert" redo was still below par. In her rush to file the gel off my skin, she filed the corners right off the sides of my nails, leaving me with naked, raw edges that are ready to snag on my luggage. I'm over it. If you don't know how to do basic nails, don't run a salon. Save your money and learn to do your own gel nails at home! It's super easy and you'll save the hassle places like this cause. I'm off to Walmart to buy some holographic glitter polish to fix this disaster myself.

Honestly, I feel our meeting was pre-arranged cosmically because she is absolutely one of the best hands down persons I've ever met who happens to cuts/designs hair too. I've followed her to all the places she set up shop which is now running her own business on Williston Road. She is a professional that goes to great lengths to study the science behind hair and body care. Anela handles the daily grind in all aspects of her business delivering quality service. She is funny and friendly. We have great conversations. I wouldn't want anyone else cutting my hair and now drive 2 hours to have it done. Why? Because she is that good! Thank you Universe for matching us that day in November. Hair by Anela is More than 5 stars. All.Day.Long.

After driving 10 hrs to visit St. Albans, VT for the week and various (fun) activities while I've been here, I decided I was in desperate need of a massage. Empower Medspa fit me in for a 90 min deep tissue massage with Heather D. Let me tell you it was FANTASTIC! I'm a real spa and massage snob so I was hesitant to book at a medspa where massage really isn't the main focus. However, this massage was just what I needed! Heather was very knowledgeable of the pain and disc issues I had, as well as of the human body. She dug right in to my pain points and loosened my muscles significantly, it was a huge relief. She even had me turn on each side to really dig into spots that most massage therapists rarely touch. I highly recommend Heather and the Empower medspa!!
