Danielle's place is located in Sola Salon next to Ashley's Furniture in Poughkeepsie on Rt. 9 (by…read moreHobby Lobby). 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.

I took a chance on her and it paid off extremely well! I got tons of compliments all night at the wedding and was quite pleased with how things turned out. Daniele was also able to travel to me at the hotel where I was staying for the wedding, which was a great added bonus! She was sweet, friendly, professional and prepared. I recommend her services and look forward to using her again since she indeed travels to my home area! Thanks again for the great service and fabulous wedding look Danielle!

The day before my first appointment I contacted the salon to ask about their experience with curly…read morehair and if they were comfortable cutting and styling it since I saw only long, blow out styles on their website. As someone who has had many bad haircuts by stylists who claimed to understand curly hair, I wanted to be sure. She told me they were comfortable with all hair types. I asked what technique they used for curly hair and the owner got very defensive and canceled my appointment without even a conversation. I was disappointed but also grateful to learn that they were not experienced with curly hair before I got there.

However, she was not very experienced and through conversation she also told me that she was not licensed. The salon also was not adequately supplied with makeup, they carried a few drugstore products and a few very very very low end products. I am unsure about the other services offered here, but they are not makeup artists. I would not recommend going here.

I'm very self conscious and being that she is one of the only esthetician's in poughkeepsie that offers these services, I made an appointment via her service provider vagaro. I was so excited and then come the day of my appointment Ari, calls me to inform me the appointment is canceled due to me not confirming the appointment or filling out some Covid forms. I am vaccinated and was willing to confirm it and come in at a different time. I really wanted this service done and was willing to pay whatever the price. I tried to call back, as I was in a meeting during her call, but she didn't respond. I called twice. I left a message saying I can fill out the forms, wnd I never received an email from Vagaro about confirming the appointment. About an hour later I got a call saying that she got a phone call from "this number", clearly not realizing she had called a potential client. Some sort of emergency in the building was going on it became difficult to hear so we texted, during which I repeated my message to her. She then said the appointment was given away to someone else. I was upset, I was really looking forward to this, and instead of trying to find a time for me to come in before my appointment she didn't even make the effort to try. I informed her I would be writing about this situation and on my Instagram blog, to which she then said she would be using my texts. While this is an invasion of privacy given the content of the texts, I consented because the texts show exactly what I said. Ari then called me and explained her position to me. However, I cannot find any email from vagaro saying that I needed to confirm the appointment, and while I told Ari about this, she clearly believed her system was right and I was lying. She explained to me that her business is her baby, which I understand completely. I am all for a woman owned business, but I do not support unprofessionalism and will not tolerate this. I credit her for calling to explain her situation to me, but again felt she could have tried to find an appointment for me given this was a clear misunderstanding due to her systems part.
