I like…read moreshopping at this Ulta because all areas of the store are really well stocked, especially currently during the holiday season. There are also plenty of special edition gift sets available. Ulta is a great shopping experience for three reasons. Majority of the items have testers, so you can touch, play and see how they work for you, before you purchase. The other reason is they sell high end products and drugstore items in the same store. Also, there are several brands and products that are exclusively sold at Ulta and no other brick and mortar location. At this location there's a wide variety of hair products and hair tools, skin care, fragrances, makeup as well as a trial sized section. The staff working at this Ulta location are very knowledgeable about the products and are ready to answer any questions. There are several services this Ulta location offers, I haven't utilized any of them, so I can't comment on the quality. They offer ear piercing. Hair services, such as haircuts, color and style. They also offer eyebrow services and makeup for a special event. I enjoy shopping at Ulta of West Hartford, and I'll continue shopping here in the future.

Sure, the people at Ideal Image are nice enough. But their prices are RIDICULOUS!!…read more I went for a quote for laser hair removal for legs and underarms. Lucky me, they're having a leg sale!! Sale price: $4,700. Alleged original price: $14,220. Underarms: sale price $1,414.80. Original price: $3,537.00. Bikini line: sale price $1,563.30. Original price: $3,908.25. My total cost - on sale - would be $7,678.10. Yeah, I'd rather shave, thanks! I don't know if they give sky high "original" prices to make their sale prices seem reasonable, but they aren't. I found another clinic that charges a quarter of the price, is closer to my house, and has better reviews! Their quote is shady too because it shows as 16 months unlimited* (the * noting it is in fact limited to 9 sessions, 5 standard treatments and 4 touch ups). Unlimited, it is not. If you've heard their ads that they guarantee the services for life...you actually have to pay $250 EXTRA for that "guarantee". Everything about Ideal Image sent up red flags. From the terrible reviews, to the high pressure sales tactics, to the ridiculous pricing. I will definitely never go back.

Be that as it may, I am a fan of many of the Kiehl's products, too. As many of you probably already know, Kiehl's was founded as a single pharmacy in New York City's East Village in 1851, and purchased by the L'Oréal Group in 2000. L'Oréal had pursued the purchase of the company for more than two years, but the real catalyst for a deal came when Kiehl's had difficulty handling the growing volume of orders due to the company's growing popularity. They currently have more than 30 retail stores worldwide, supplemented by sales in high-end department stores such as Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom. In contrast to its market competitors, Kiehl's is distinguished for its unorthodox marketing approach, exceptionally large male clientele base and its products' simple and straightforward packaging. Compared to its competitors, Kiehl's states that it spends three to five more times on its upscale natural cosmetic products. At the same time, Kiehl's merchandise is "priced at the lower end of prestige skin care" while being distinguished for its simple and straightforward packing "which speaks to the old apothecary concept." To this day, Kiehl's signature products, such as its Blue Astringent, Creme de Corps and Original Musk Oil, continue to remain customer favorites. To market its products, Kiehl's applies a non-traditional marketing approach that "relies heavily on free product samples, word of mouth endorsements from existing customers, and innovative marketing techniques."Particularly known for its generous sampling policy, "Kiehl's gave away more than 12 million samples a year, which represents 80 percent of their total marketing budget" according to Lynn Upshaw in Truth: The New Rules for Marketing in a Skeptical World. Upshaw writes, "The Kiehl's way of 'selling' is not to sell at all... They believe the products will do what they do and no hype will change that."Donations, most prominently in charity event gift bags, also attract customers." Kiehl's also has a recycling program that allows the guest to bring empties to the store, where they are taken in exchange for stamps on a card. Get 10 stamps and you receive a full size product ($25 value) free. I use their antiperspirant, and my companion uses many of their products. We stopped in today, using the 20% off coupon sent via email (a Friends and Family sale). Staff in this store is exceptionally knowledgable and friendly, welcoming and efficient. While I purchase Kiehl's products from my employer (as I always get 20% off with my associate discount and free shipping from my company's *.com end), using this store during events like this is absolutely on my list. Knowing now that they have a recycling program that rates me a free full sized product with every 10 empties turned in gives me all the more reason to put them aside. It's a nicely appointed, but small store. There is no barber service on site (the flagship in NYC has a barber salon that, while I've not tried it, is rumored to be impressive). But if you're a fan of Kiehl's, you need to stop in. Second floor, Nordstrom wing, directly above Lush Cosmetics. It's on the right as you're walking toward Nordies.

This location is conveniently located next to Nordstrom rack, TJ max, and Burlington coat factory. So if you have time to kill before or after your wax, you won't be bored. My wax technician was Valerie. She was awesome! She really took her time and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. She was so good I couldn't believe she was new.

My mom is a major lover of nostalgia and so I booked a photo shoot at JCPenney for her birthday. We threw on our matching pajamas and headed over to Westfarms for our 2:30 appointment. The photographers were very delayed so unfortunately we weren't seen until 4:15. Our photographer was so nice and really helped bring my mom out of her shell. The entire shoot took about 15 minutes and we were able to select as many printed frames as we wanted. Thankfully, they were having a sale because the original price for the photos and shoot came out to about $210. After the discount code was applied the total was only $40. This was a cute way to celebrate my mom and throw it back to all of the photo shoot she used to make me do when I was young.

I am writing regarding a very disappointing portrait session I had today for my 6-month-old…read moregranddaughter. I paid $154 for the digital photos after using a $50 coupon. The lady didn't even tell me about the $80 off coupon that was offered online today but this is not my point of dissatisfaction, although that was not ok. Unfortunately, I did not feel that I received the professional photography experience I paid for. Throughout the session, I had to make recommendations about poses, positioning the baby upright, and getting her to smile. When my granddaughter did smile and was ready for a good photo, the photographer repeatedly missed the moments because she said the camera was stalling. With a 6-month-old baby, those moments happen very quickly and cannot always be recreated. I left feeling frustrated because I had to essentially direct the session myself. I did purchase the digital photos and will try to make the best of them, but I would really like the opportunity to have the session redone at no additional cost, preferably with a different photographer who is experienced with infants. I would be happy to have the session retaken rather than simply requesting a refund because what I really wanted was a nice set of professional photos of my granddaughter. However, if a complimentary retake is not possible, I would like to discuss an appropriate partial refund or other resolution. I sent various emails. I hope something gets done.
