Once I entered the room after some difficulty with the door, I asked the woman who had been watching me whether she took walk-ins. "Well, I have a full schedule today, what did you want done?" "My eyebrows," I said, pointing to the overgrowth of hair where my brows had once been. "That's easy enough!" She quickly explained that her next appointment was running late and whisked me behind the divider into the other half of the room. It was only then that Leslie and I exchanged introductions and she gave me the fastest and most painless waxing job I had ever had done! After ten minutes, she handed me a mirror. Not a single hair was out of place; my brows were tidy and nothing close to the monstrosity they had been. All for the same price I had been paying before! Leslie is a professional, friendly woman that KNOWS HER STUFF. Meeting her was an absolute pleasure and you can bet that this is one small business that I will continue to support!

It's not as polished of an experience as I'm used to going to a spa, but once she gets her hands on you, the treatments stand on their own!

After I hung up I saw that Purule tried to charge my Venmo card $13.60. I called them back and they said there is a fee for cancellation. I was unaware of any kind of fee and asked if they had my signature on file stating that I was notified of such fee. the girl that answered the phone said they have forms in the computer that state their policies. Ummm, so that would be a no. I also informed her that I did NOT give them permission to use my Venmo card for random charges. Debit and credit cards should not be kept on file. They also don't allow you to use your credit card to charge a tip. They only take cash. Also suspicious. it's so unfortunate that they lose customers over shady business practices because some of their techs are great.

My schedule is spotty…read morewhile I'm here, so I looked at several m salons online, then decided on Salon 241 Bangor on State Street. I sent a contact message checking to see what was available, hoping to find someone good who could help me. Got a message back from Jonathan, asking what I was looking for. I explained my situation to him and he actually stayed after his day was done to fit me in. I wanted to see who he was and his experience, but he wasn't listed on the salon's website, so I googled him and found a review. It was an excellent review and I was so excited it would be someone who has great experience. I get to the salon and Jonathan was finishing up with the young lady before me. He did an amazing job on her hair and I knew I was in the right spot. All I can say is Jonathan knows hair, everything about hair. He did an amazing job coloring and cutting my hair with such precision. I immediately felt very comfortable with Jonathan. He's a great guy, with a heart of gold. He's also got a lot of great stories. I can't wait to move here and see him again. He is extremely talented, and he's a delight to be around! He's that stylist everyone looks for. I feel so blessed that he took the time to help me.

However, that being said, this was hands down the worst mani/pedi I have ever had in my life, and if I hadn't gotten a great deal for it on Groupon I would be even more upset. I have to go spend more $$$ now to get it fixed. Here is why I think a teenager still in cosmetology training at a vocational high school would have been a better bet: I can see the patches of my previous nail polish underneath the new polish. On multiple nails. She missed spots entirely. I actually had to ask her to cover a spot on the tip of my thumb, and you can see the spot where she covered (but didn't blend it). This looks so bad it is as if a 5-y/o did it to me. It is streaky and doesn't look like the top coat was evenly distributed at all. Essie gel should not chip 12 hours after it is applied, but it did. My pedicure has spots on it that look like white paint. ???? She was rushed and had people waiting, or I would have demanded a do over (or just that she take everything off so I could go somewhere else), but it took 2 hours to begin with, so who has that kind of time??? Be forewarned - do not go here if you want your nails to look good.
