Very, very sadly, I had to leave my beloved stylist, Tayler, and the cutest salon in the cutest…read moretown, due to the price increases. Originally, I sought out La Tua Bella due to (1) prices and (2) reviews. When I started going, every 8 weeks religiously 3+ years ago, I could get a haircut, root touch-up & highlights, for around $200 plus tip (and I always tipped $100+ in cash). By my last appointment, that price had snuck up to nearly $375 (plus tip). At that point, I could have the same services, completed at the same skill level, cheaper and without the 3 hour round-trip drive. In fact, my new salon is 10 minutes from my home. At my last appointment, I asked if older clients could be grandfathered-in on prices a bit and was told no. I was also told by a stylist that I wasn't the only one experiencing the very sudden and severe sticker shock, despite being assured that prices "have only gone up 10%." I can assure you, at least when I got up to the register, the prices basically doubled for the same services. Again, I'm extremely sad to have left this salon after 3+ faithful years. I just can't justify the expense, especially if the salon is unwilling to negotiate with existing clients.

From the minute I walked in, Sara treated me like royalty. She listened to what I wanted, as I did not want too much taken off my length.

Thank you ever so much, Sara, and I can't wait to book with you again next time we're back in Rhinebeck.

Sola Salon basically a big warehouse of salon spaces for rent; within it, there are hairdressers, massage therapists, facial, etc. I received a text from Danielle 5 minutes before my scheduled appointment to text her when I arrive so she can let me in; she came out promptly and greeted me warmly. Her space is clean and posh with upbeat music playing in the background. I was made comfortable given the always awkwardness of Brazilian wax job. She was super professional and told me about the package deal she offer on all of her services for discount (buy in 6 or 12 sessions; never expire). She uses hard wax which is sooo much better than the old wax & rip method. She is also very thorough; cleaned and moisturized my waxed area after. Total duration was only 15 minutes. Quick and done! I would definitely come back to her again.
